Reviewing the materials on the battle for territory compiled by Ge Changming, Lu Zixun discovered an interesting point—
Every year, the struggle between the Human Clan and the Insect Clan was intense.
But this intensity didn't seem to be about life or death survival, but rather about completing a certain task.
For instance, one year the Human Clan defeated the Insect Clan and took over three areas.
Then, by the second battle for territory after the Humans took control, the Human Clan would lose these three areas back.
Normally, this scenario would not occur.
The areas represent a vast amount of resources, which in turn signify growth in power—how could they not overcome after a year of nurturing? There's no making sense of it.
If it were due to useless Human leadership, then the Insect Clan, proficient at plundering and breeding, would be the same.
The battle for territory was less like a fight to the death and more like a conventionally established rule.
