In the evening of the same day, the protagonist asks the Fly Rider who came to contact him to risk returning overnight and asking for reinforcements.

Now that there is only one legion holding out in [Swamp City], the number of troops reduced to two squads in a day's battle makes the protagonist really feel unsure, and he urges reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.

At present, the Walnut Fleet carrying the second group of troops has been on the road for two days, and it will be at least three or four days before it arrives at [Swamp City]. In fact, the speed of the walnut fleet is too affected by the wind direction and tide, and the traction provided by the bees is better than nothing, even if the protagonist urges it, it will not be diverted by his will.

The protagonist does this knowing that it is useless, which also shows that he is indeed in a hurry. After all, if the parasitic beast army attacked like this every day, there would be no way to fight back and face battle damage, and he was really afraid that the ant concrete outer wall of [Swamp City] would not be able to support it one day, and the parasitic beast could drive straight in.

On the other hand, the reason why he is in such a hurry to urge reinforcements is that the protagonist also has the reason to cheer up his subordinates. After today's battle, the male ant commander of the Fourth Legion was also a little at a loss after a meeting internally, and he didn't know how to deal with such an enemy. After all, even the protagonist has no better way, let alone the other male ants.

In order to cheer up these commanders so that they don't lose their fighting spirit because they can't fight back, the protagonist openly asks for reinforcements to come quickly, so that the Fourth Army realizes that they have reinforcements, which is conducive to boosting morale.

In addition, the protagonist has a separate message package for the little secretary II in [Dongyang Castle]. The Little Secretary II has now taken over the mantle of his mother and has become an important member of the scientific research team, directly responsible to the protagonist.

Previously, the protagonist had already guided the research and development of the bow and crossbow in his spare time, but the progress was slow. In addition, the catapult weapon was still usable before, and the protagonist didn't care.

Now, he asked the little secretary II and them to step up research and development, give priority to the supply of all materials, and be sure to make one or two samples of bow and crossbow weapons according to the pattern taught by the protagonist, and it is best to board the ship and transport them before the third batch of reinforcements depart, so as to solve the urgent need while experimenting.

Finally, the protagonist also asks to transport the fire from [Dongyang City] to [Swamp City].

Previously, the ants, with the help of the protagonist, had learned to use the smoldering ashes inside the nut shells to spread fire, and now some of the important nests in the territory of the Divine Envoy King's Legion have fires, which can greatly help increase productivity.

However, nuts were used to spread the fire, and the nut containers were large and had previously only been transported by land. Now [Swamp City] needs tinder, which can only be transported by water or air.

In the case of waterways, the transportation cycle is too long, and even if the fire is stored in the nuts, it is very likely to be extinguished for more than a week. And in case of a fire, it would also be a devastating blow to the walnut fleet.

The Divine Envoy King's legion is not strong enough to build another fleet of walnut ships this year, and if the only fleet misses, the troops trapped in [Swamp City] will be completely alone, with few troops and supplies, and there are still enemy forces outside, with little hope of holding out until the next year.

At that time, the protagonist can only use the flying knight to rescue the male ant commanders as much as possible, and ordinary ant warriors can only give up. Even if it is the Divine Envoy King Legion, losing so many elite soldiers at once will definitely be nerve-wracking.

Therefore, the protagonist asks for the fire to be delivered as soon as possible by air, and his plan is to hang the tinder nuts on six bees with ropes, escorted by twelve bee flying knights, and deliver them to [Swamp City] in the early morning or dusk when there is no air threat.

- I'm the dividing line -

The next day, the army of parasitic beasts came to the city again.

The Divine Envoy King's Legion hung high the battle card and could not hold out. Only the protagonist observes the enemy's movements through a small window.

The enemy's troops are still complete with the navy, land and air force, but in the face of the ants cowering in the ant mound, the enemy has no good way.

Today, the enemy's army does not have parasitic tiger armor, and except for a few parasitic locusts and parasitic grasshoppers that are good at jumping, they cannot reach the island where [Swamp City] is located.

The parasitic air force hovers in the air but can't find its target.

Only those hateful dragon lice are still persistently spraying water cannons at the ant mound.

The protagonist is a little anxious to watch as some of the walls hit by the water cannon begin to flow muddy water, which is a sign that the ant concrete has been washed away. Although the exterior walls have a certain thickness, they are likely to crack once they break beyond the critical point.

The reason why the protagonist is in a hurry to transport the tinder to [Swamp City] is so that there will be a way to repair the broken gap.

Ants can use ant concrete to repair gaps at night when the enemy retreats, but in swampy climates with little sun, it often takes five or six days for the ant concrete to dry and have sufficient strength.

The enemy obviously does not give the ants time to calmly repair and dry the gaps, and at this time, if there is a fire to bake the repaired walls, it only takes one night to get a solid façade, which greatly increases the chances of victory in the defensive battle.

Seeing that the ants did not come out, some parasitic dragonflies landed and tried to burrow in through the entrance or ventilation opening. But these passages for ants are obviously not accessible for dragonflies.

The only trouble caused is that a large dragonfly head blocks the window of the protagonist's dormitory, blocking his view of observation.

At close range, it is still quite stressful to face the dragonfly's huge compound eyes, and the dragonfly's mouthparts are intricately twisted and wriggling, which makes the protagonist nauseous.

Several parasites try to crawl through the window, their size enough to fit through the gaps in the windows of the wooden fence of the protagonist's dormitory.

However, parasites alone do not pose much of a threat, and the protagonist's guards can easily kill them.

The protagonist is also impatient with the parasitic dragonfly blocking his window, picking up a stone and throwing it hard, directly through the dragonfly's compound eye, flying out of the back of his head, bringing out a large piece of brain tissue and outer carapace fragments. The parasitic dragonfly immediately died no longer and fell, falling into the water, leaving only its body writhing unconsciously.

Some parasitic locusts jumped onto the mound and tried to gnaw at it with their large jaws. I have to say that the mouthparts of these locusts are really strong and sharp, and the ant concrete was actually gnawed by them. However, these parasitic locusts are not very comfortable, and many of the locusts have broken mouthparts and are bleeding all the time, but they do not care.

The sound of parasitic locusts gnawing on the exterior wall and the sound of parasitic dragon lice "puffing puff" water cannons make the protagonist extremely irritable and on pins and needles.
