Please help me understand this sentence

Hi guys. Could you help me understand this sentence? "with no more interest in conquest and war than the hickory or the hedgehog". Does it mean "with no more interest in conquest and war than (in) the hickory or the hedgehog", or does it mean "with no more interest in conquest and war than the hickory or the hedgehog (with interest in conquest and war)". I feel it should the former, but I am not sure about it. Thanks.

Hi CJ, Thank you for the quick reply. And thank you so much for helping me complete the whole sentence. Actually I was puzzled about how to say the whole sentence in the latter form. Have a good night!
