In the next few days, the situation of the defenders in [Swamp City] being passively beaten changed dramatically.

One evening, the fire was successfully delivered, and the gods gave the King's legion the ability to quickly repair the damaged anthill.

After laying a large number of rope traps, the ants are not powerless to fight back against the attack of parasitic beasts during the day, and every day the parasitic beasts have to leave a few corpses and return home.

Although this loss of troops is insignificant for the parasitic beasts, there are still dozens of parasitic beasts gathered around [Swamp City] every day, and there is no reduction in the slightest.

But it was better to have results than no results, and at least the successive small victories had boosted the morale of the males of the Divine Envoy King's legion, who no longer felt how terrible these new enemies were, and overcame their fear of unfamiliar surroundings.

Only the protagonist is not very satisfied, he led the troops to come to the swamp area at such a great cost, not to kill a few parasitic beasts, but to completely eradicate the parasite. Therefore, the protagonist is brewing a counterattack, creating an opportunity to concentrate and annihilate the enemy's forces, but he has too few available forces at hand.

The second group of support units arrived after the Fourth Legion held out alone for nearly a month, and Rambovan's Third Legion arrived with the fleet to settle in [Swamp City], and the protagonist now has two legions of troops at hand.

This is still insufficient, and the protagonist's original plan was to attack the parasitic ants and parasitic beasts in the depths of the swamp after having three legions.

Recently, however, I don't know if it's because the microclimate of the swamp area is too humid and cold, or because the general climate of the whole area has passed the Futian, but the temperature has dropped significantly in the morning and evening, and there is a feeling of autumn.

In autumn, not only the temperature drops for ants, but also significantly affects the frequency and time of activity of these cold-blooded animals, and it also means that the coldest winter is no longer far away, and will soon take the steps of carrying snowflakes and death to the earth.

The third batch of reinforcements will not arrive in about a month, and if this winter comes early, the first snow may fall in a month and a half.

The protagonist feels that he can't wait any longer and that it is necessary to launch a counterattack as soon as possible, even if the scale is limited, than to be trapped in a lonely city and do nothing.

After all, although the plains on the south bank of the Great River were unified, the Divine Envoy King Legion was not restless.

The situation on the north bank of the Great River is changing three times a day, and the mysterious ants are getting bigger and bigger, whether it is the paving ant barbarian country or the northern expeditionary army of the big-headed ant kingdom, they are all struggling to deal with, and the decline is fully revealed.

These mysterious ants also have the ability to fight in winter, and once they control the north bank of the Great River, the Great River of the Divine Envoy King's Legion will become a battlefield in winter.

It is necessary for the protagonist to quell the threat from the south as soon as possible and then move north. or hold on along the river, or intervene in the chaos on the north bank of the river in advance, in short, we cannot sit idly by.

- I'm the dividing line -

After deciding on the counterattack strategy, after two or three days of adaptation to the swampy climate with Rambovan's Third Legion and the fifty Bee Flying Knights who were ordered to be stationed, the protagonist begins to implement his plan.

During the day, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King on the ground still couldn't shrink back.

However, the Bee Riders will go out early and assemble on the only willow tree nearby, and when the parasitic beast's air force appears, these Flying Knights will take the initiative.

The small number of parasitic dragonflies, damselflies, or bees of the parasitic beasts were no match for the bees in a group, and although the bees were not powerful with their jaws, they relied on the number to kill these aerial enemies, and the Divine Envoy King finally regained air supremacy.

And at night, when the Bee Flying Knights, who had been fighting all day during the day, went to rest with their mounts, most of the ant warriors began to get busy.

In addition to killing parasitic beasts that have fallen into traps, mending their nests, and foraging for food, some of the Divine Messenger King warriors weave rope bridges.

The raw material for these rope bridges was originally made by the Walnut Boat Fleet along with the Third Legion, which was already a woven semi-finished rope. Ants need to weave several strands of rope into thicker, stronger, and more durable ropes.

After two days, the rope bridge has been prepared, and the air supremacy is completely in the hands of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and one night, the protagonist mobilizes the flying knights to tie one section of the rope bridge to a sturdy shrub on the opposite bank, and the other end is connected to the small island of [Swamp City].

Subsequently, a large number of warriors of the Divine Envoy King swarmed across the river, and they wanted to use the night time to build a bridgehead on the other side of the rope bridge as a sub-base to protect the rope bridge and also serve as a battlefield for the next battle.

The location of the bridgehead has already been chosen, and the protagonist has already observed this location in the previous more than a month of fighting.

The bridgehead was at the bush at the entrance to the rope bridge, and the roots of this bush were tightly wrapped around a large boulder, and the branches and leaves stretched out from one side of the stone to the sky, and the stems of the shrubs were short and stout, with insect-eaten holes.

Choosing to build a nest here can take advantage of the natural height of large boulders, which is not only far from the water surface and not easy to be attacked by the water cannons of parasitic dragon lice, but also can gain a height advantage, and the enemy must climb the stone blocks to threaten the Divine Envoy King warriors.

A large group of Divine Messenger warriors belonging to the Third Legion piled ant concrete along the edge of the platform at the top of the stone block, and soon built a perimeter wall, the first line of defense for the bridgehead.

Another swarm of ants formed a second ring of defense around the trunk of the shrub, a small mound that encased the trunk of the bush, with no other bare places except for a few entrances and exits. And the shrub's own decayed trunk is a natural storehouse with a little modification.

Ants with greased sticks and torches in their jaws kept walking around the newly completed fortifications, baking the still somewhat damp façade.

Under the wet air of the swamp, it was obviously unrealistic to build this nest overnight.

So, as the sky turned white, the protagonist gave the order, and the ants immediately blocked all the openings of the bridgehead with wet mud, stones, or plant fibers, and then quickly retreated along the rope bridge to [Swamp City].

The Bee Flying Knight unties the rope bridge to the opposite bank, and the protagonist and a few teams of ants quickly retract the rope that fell into the water, coil it up and pile it on the shore.

The parasitic beasts attacking during the day were unaware of the threat of new structures and rope loops on the shore, and although some of the parasitic beasts had a keen sense of smell and sensed the breath of the Divine Envoy King's legion in the unfinished bridgehead, they lingered here for a long time, but the insects were not intelligent enough to detect the danger ahead.

In this way, it took three nights for the bridgehead to finally be completed. The Fourth Army was immediately stationed and ready to face the parasitic army units here the next day!
