Chapter 233: The Old-fashioned King (3)

After listening to the advice of the six kings, the old-fashioned king was immediately moved.

If the wish of the old kings was simple, it was to run the country well, and it was best to eliminate the damned old enemy paving ant barbarians, without too many distractions.

Then, after a series of recent events, the old-fashioned king realizes that his hatred for the Divine Envoy and his minions has long surpassed everything.

He also realized that it was in his own ideals and interests to maintain the rule of the old Council of Kings. As a conservative, tradition is what he values most.

After going through great hardships to reach the "Waterfront City", only to learn that the rope bridge was broken and unable to contact the Northern Expeditionary Army, he was about to sink down for a while, but after experiencing the battle with the minions of the Divine Envoy King, and the horror of being easily defeated by enemies who could drive flies and beetles, he understood the strength of the enemy.

Originally, he thought that the most elite Northern Expeditionary Army in the kingdom would definitely be able to defeat the minions of the Divine Envoy King, but after finding that he could not use this power, he was lost for a while. Although he still has the desire to recover the main nest, he does not know how to use it to achieve it.

Now these kings showed him a new direction.

Although he could also realize that the strength in each sub-nest was still very weak, and the number of warriors was not much, and it was definitely not the same number of opponents of the minions of the Divine Envoy King. But what if you could connect all the secondary nests from all over the world?

There are more than 80 secondary nests in the territory of the big-headed ant kingdom, and the total number of ants is several times the size of the main nest, which can belong to the power of the king's meeting!

Just like in the past, before each major military operation of the main nest, it was necessary to gather the forces of each secondary nest in order to organize the troops and materials needed for a large-scale expedition.

Although there is no main nest anymore, he can completely command the power of each secondary nest to concentrate in a certain place.

Just like the old legend, when the ancestors of the kingdom of the big-headed ant left their old nests in the mountains to the south and marched towards the great plains full of food and enemies, it was a glorious tradition that the meeting of the kings would be there wherever they went.

With the exception of my companions who were trapped on the north bank of the Great River, and those who were imprisoned by the evil Divine Envoy King, I myself am now the sole orthodox member of the Council of Great Kings, and wherever I go, the assembly place of the various sub-nests should be.

After the old-fashioned king understood it, he immediately praised the loyalty and wisdom of the six kings, and announced that they would be promoted to kings and officially join the king's meeting.

Previously, he had promised that the kings of the other vice-nests would be promoted and join the king's council afterwards. But now, after realizing that he will not be able to connect with the members of the old King's Council in the Northern Expeditionary Army in the short term, he has figured out that he must take on the responsibility of filling the shortage of King's Council members as soon as possible, and he also has this power.

The Old-fashioned King then began overnight to reorganize the armament of the Side Nest, let's call it "Hunting Ground City".

He examined the hunters in the cramped secondary nest, and there were about 3,000 ants capable of fighting, of which about three-quarters were worker ants and about a quarter were soldier ants. Among them, the proportion of soldier ants is much higher than that of other secondary nests, after all, hunting still requires the participation of individuals with stronger combat effectiveness.

These ants are very robust, after all, hunting is another form of fighting, which can exercise the physique and organization of these ants.

If only the worker ants who maintain the operation of the "Hunting Ground City" are left, the old-fashioned king can immediately form two legions, but he does not have a single king under his command now, and the two legions need a full sixty kings to serve as grassroots commanders.

In fact, the number of male ants in the sub-nests everywhere is seriously insufficient, and the consequence of the lack of grassroots commanders is that the ants here can only carry out defensive battles without much command, and cannot be pulled out into the field at all.

The old-fashioned king was not discouraged, and he ordered the six kings of the "Hunting Ground City" to divide and cooperate, some of them raised food, those who were good at fighting and commanding were respectively the commanders of the two newly formed legions and trained the troops, and some of them had to get in touch with other vice-nests, and it was best to recruit some kings to enrich the ranks of the legions' grassroots commanders.

Although he is the same king, the qualifications and prestige of the old-fashioned king make his orders still acceptable to the six newly promoted kings.

From the next day, the power of the old King's Council faction centered on the "Hunting Ground City" was formed.

In addition, there is also an ant queen in the "hunting grounds", and the old-fashioned king asks her to immediately increase the amount of eggs she lays, especially the large number of male eggs.

According to the maximum number of eggs laid by the queen without damaging the body, it only takes two days to produce 100 male eggs. After these male eggs hatch, pupate, and wedding ceremonies, the old-fashioned king can fill the gap of his own grassroots commanders.

The Old-fashioned King had even conceived the idea of holding this year's wedding ceremony in this "Hunting Ground City", the oldest tradition of which must not be discarded, nor could it be held by the evil Divine Messenger King in his main nest, "Qingqiu City".

- I'm the dividing line -

Under the full operation of the old-fashioned king, within a few days, in the northeast of the territory of the big-headed ant kingdom, an alliance of seventeen sub-nests occupying a considerable territory was formed.

The old-fashioned king promoted twenty-four kings and formed a new council of kings in the "hunting grounds".

After the establishment of the ruling institutions, they gathered their forces quite quickly.

Each secondary nest left only one male ant to watch the house, leaving only enough ants to keep the nest running, and the other ants gathered for the "hunting ground city".

There are so many ants, there are 40,000 of them, all of them young and middle-aged ants in the prime of life. And the queen ants of each sub-nest are also stepping up production, and they should add a batch of troops to the coalition army in the shortest possible time.

If it weren't for the serious shortage of grassroots commanders, and the need to wait for a new batch of male ant eggs to hatch into adulthood, the old-fashioned king would have wanted to take this army to recover the "Waterfront City" first, and then find a way to repair the rope bridge and join the Northern Expeditionary Army.

In order to wait for the new generation of male ants, the old-fashioned king can only control his temperament and send troops to block the communication with the nearby "Waterfront City" to prevent the discovery of the god king and his minions.

At the same time, the many ants gathered in the "Hunting Ground City" have also expanded the area and hunted aggressively in the surrounding area.

The large amount of prey harvested not only enriched the military food reserves, but also eliminated many fierce insects that had been ravaging the area for a long time, and virtually improved the local security environment.

It only takes a few months for the old-fashioned king to amass a force that should not be underestimated, causing difficulties for the protagonist.

However, soon, a stupid trick of the old-fashioned king made the protagonist notice the existence of this resistance force in advance!
