With the Fly Knight and the "Mosquito" entangled, the fire bomb slings that need to be thrown condescendingly are useless.

The flying knights were forced to remove their mounted rifles from the mounts behind their saddles, and stabbed left and right as they flew.

The "mosquitoes" are several besieging a flying knight, and once they dodge the stabbing of the cavalry, they immediately rush up and bite with their jaws.

Fortunately, the Shengong Ant Flying Knights are equipped with full-body iron armor, and the unwitting "mosquitoes" bite it, and the jaws of the two "mosquitoes" will collapse with a "quack".

"Mosquito" found that he had never bitten such a hard target (#゚Д゚!!

But it is not the specialty of the flying knights to keep fighting, these flying knights are elites, and they have received more training on weekdays, or they still occupy the advantage of height and speed, and solve the opponent's tactics with fire bomb slings. Hand-to-hand combat is a last resort, and this kind of face-to-face aerial combat is the first time that the flying knight has encountered it in actual combat.

The Flying Knight is not completely invulnerable to all of his body, and the places that cannot be covered by the armor are equally vulnerable.

Seeing that the flying knight was starting to get wounded, the head rider hurriedly accelerated, guiding the other wingmen to get rid of the mosquito swarm. In terms of flight speed, "mosquitoes" are far inferior to "flies".

The rest of the battle was a bit lackluster, with the flying knights avoiding melee combat as much as possible, taking their positions in circles, and then continuing to throw fireballs and slings.

After the fire bomb slings were thrown away, no one on either side could help anyone, and you chased me around the circle for a while, and each collected his troops.

In the first encounter between "Flies" and "Mosquitoes", 3 Flying Knights and 2 mounts were injured on the Flying Knight's side, all of which were slightly injured. On the "mosquito" side, 11 horsemen were killed, most of them were burned by fire bullets, and a few were stabbed by spears and died.

However, after the war, the Flying Knights lost their monitoring of the movements of the Red Fire Ant Army, and after seeing more "mosquitoes" start to infest this airspace, they had to return home.

————

The Leaf Cutting Ant Army and the Divine Envoy King Legion finally crossed the quagmire at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Army originally planned to pursue them directly, but the protagonist learns from the returning Flying Knight that the whereabouts of the Red Fire Ant Army are no longer known, and there are hundreds of mosquitoes wandering in the airspace ahead.

The protagonist doesn't plan to throw all the flying knights out today to snatch air supremacy, and it's not yet time to take control of air supremacy. However, after temporarily losing air supremacy and enemy intelligence, the protagonist still advises the Leaf Cutting Ant Army not to pursue recklessly.

He suggested widening a few more roads on this side of the mire, in case of another burst of rain, this quagmire would be cut off again, and the Divine Envoy King Legion and the Leafcutter Ant Army would be cut off from the back road, and they would not be able to retreat if they wanted to, and the army behind them would not be able to come to support in time.

With only the current 100,000 soldiers of the two armies, it is still very empty in the face of the Paving Ant Imperial Army.

This time, the Leafcutter Ant Army did not listen to the protagonist's advice, and the whole army continued to move north.

The protagonist is not accompanied by the Divine Envoy King's legion, and he orders the whole army to build a fortress here to defend it, and at the same time widen and raise a dirt road through the mire as originally planned.

————

While most of the warriors are building fortresses and dirt roads, the protagonist and the squad leaders and detachment leaders of the Flying Knights find a place to meet in the open air.

The participants lined up in a circle with their antennae next to the antennae of the ants on the left and right sides to discuss today's air battle.

The Flying Knight, who fought the "Mosquito" today, first provided a packet of information about the battle for everyone to read.

The flying knight then gave his opinion at the request of the Divine Messenger King:

She felt that the individual "mosquito" was not strong in combat, its flight speed was slow, and its weapons were rudimentary. However, the speed at which the "mosquitoes" climb high is not much behind that of the flying knights, and there are many of them, and there are still as many as five or six hundred "mosquitoes" found so far, and the possibility that the enemy has more "mosquitoes" cannot be ruled out.

The Flying Knights are better than the enemy in terms of mount speed and weapons, but they are few in number, and there is a possibility that the "mosquitoes" will take advantage of the opportunity to approach when grabbing high space.

The protagonist proposes that the lives of the flying knights are precious, and although the flying knights have been emphasizing that they are not afraid of death, the protagonist still has to suppress this unnecessary "sacrifice mentality".

It is much more difficult to train flying knights than ordinary soldiers, and even artillery and tank soldiers. In the past, only male ants could act as flying knights, but now they are all flying knights, but whether they are male ants or divine ants, they need several times more daily supplies and high-grade food than ordinary ants. They have to consume their own supplies, their mounts also have to consume, and the wear and tear of weapons and equipment and training on weekdays is also indispensable.

In addition, the consumption of materials alone is more than 100 times that of ordinary soldiers and 20 times that of artillery and tank crews.

This is because the training is so difficult, at present, the Divine Envoy King Legion has 40 main legions, a whole tank corps, and a large number of city defense artillery and field artillery squads, but there are only 10 squads of 500 cavalry knights.

It can be said that every flying knight is an elite warrior who has been piled up with honeydew, meat and iron for a long time.

Of the 10 flying knight squads, only 3 squads have air combat capabilities, and all of them follow the protagonist to the north this time. The other 7 squads of flying knights have not been formed long ago, and have not undergone systematic air combat training, but can only be responsible for reconnaissance and messenger delivery, and are currently assigned to other areas to carry out tasks and training.

The protagonist praised the flying knights for their proper handling today, and did not blindly fight and cause unnecessary casualties.

He asked everyone to sum up the experience based on the information package of today's battle, and see how the flying knights will deal with the challenge of "mosquitoes" in the future, and what can be improved in terms of weaponry and training.

This kind of post-war summary, which the protagonist calls a very necessary meeting, should be held regularly in the future.

After the Great Messenger King set the tone, the Flying Knights began to advise as requested.

Some flying knights said that there were too few fire bomb slings, and that there were only four for one horse, and that if you wanted to avoid close combat, you should cancel the riding guns and bring more fire bullet slings.

Immediately, the flying knight objected, saying that if it weren't for the cavalry lance, it would be more dangerous to fall into melee combat today, and the "mosquitoes" were still more afraid of riding spears. This last weapon of self-defense cannot be canceled.

Many flying knights have a common opinion, that is, whether it is a mounted gun or a fire bullet sling, the attack range is limited, or the delivery method is too demanding for the position of air combat.

If there were firearms like artillery or tank guns, it would be much better! The flying knights can completely rely on the speed advantage to throw off the "mosquito" to bomb at a long distance, so as not to be close to them in order to seize the height.

These miracle ants are not as conservative as male ants, and after seeing the superiority of firepower in the ground forces, they have long suffered from "phobia of insufficient firepower"!
