A parasitic dragon lice floated on the surface of the water, but did not arouse the alarm of the remaining two parasitic dragon lice, and they were scattered in other directions, their heads buried under the water, shooting intently, without noticing anything unusual.

However, the parasitic water spiders that had been wandering around noticed something unusual, and several parasitic water spiders scratched in the dead corpses, and some silk parasitic bacteria took the opportunity to transfer from the corpses of parasitic dragon lice enemies to the parasitic water spiders.

The approaching parasitic water spider quickly found out that the friendly army had died, and immediately slashed its limbs, far away from the dead parasitic dragon lice, as if fearing that the doom of death would befall them. Other parasitic water spiders also fled the waters in fright.

The movement of the parasitic water spiders did not affect the parasitic dragon lice, and it seems that the parasitic beasts could not communicate with each other in real time, and the heads of these parasitic dragon lice were deeply rooted in the water, which was simply a model of not hearing what was going on outside the window.

The protagonist doesn't bother to pay attention to the unthreatening water spiders that are scattering and fleeing, and he raises his crossbow arm to aim at another parasitic dragon lice.

The enemy floats motionless on the water, and if it weren't for the small size of the butt that is out of the water, it would be an excellent fixed target.

This target is farther away than the first one, and the protagonist aims at it accurately, and when he pulls out the trigger, he doesn't shake much, and fires another arrow.

But I don't know if it was because the crossbow arrow was not straight or because there was a breeze, but the arrow missed a little, and the giant arrow pierced into the water not far from the parasitic dragon lice, stirring up a little wave.

If this wave is splashed by a diver, it is definitely a water pressure splash action that can get a high score, and it is extremely light.

But even this little splash also alarmed the parasitic dragon lice that was hiding under the water with most of its body, and the whiskers on its legs sensed the abnormal fluctuations caused by the arrows entering the water, and then immediately hid in the water vigilantly, and did not come out for a long time.

Another parasitic dragon lice also sensed the danger and paddled away from [Swamp City].

The protagonist also didn't expect the enemy aquatic war beast to quickly flee away and lose its target. For a while, under the deterrence of ballistas, the enemy's air force and navy, which had been helpless in the original Divine Envoy King Legion, retreated.

Until the enemy withdrew in the afternoon, no enemy parasitic beast approached the accurate range of the ballista, much to the disappointment of the protagonist because he could not continue to kill and damage the enemy.

But in one day, the ballista caused "heavy" casualties to the enemy's flying war beasts and aquatic war beasts, which can be called a very meaningful victory.

- I'm the dividing line -

That night, inspired by today's victory, the protagonist decides to launch another counterattack, first set foot on land, reoccupy the [bridgehead], establish a solid position, and then look for an opportunity to clear the main enemy forces in the swamp.

Of course, retaking the [bridgehead] means that the enemy's large army can directly threaten the defenders, and the last time the Divine Messenger King's army had to engage in street battles under the pressure of the enemy's land, water and air, and suffered heavy losses, the protagonist must definitely learn a lesson.

Now, with the ballista, the protagonist has the ability to counter enemy air forces, naval forces, and carry out long-range attacks. The air defense network can isolate the enemy's large war beasts, adding additional defense to the defenders.

With these two new pieces of equipment that have already been proven in battle, the protagonist is full of confidence.

Of course, deciding on the counterattack plan does not mean that it will be implemented today, and the Divine Envoy King Legion still has a lot of preparation work to do.

In the next few days, the Divine Envoy King's legion defended during the day, using ballistas to continuously kill and injure parasitic war beasts that dared to approach [Swamp City]. These parasitic ants and parasitic war beasts have not learned much and still come to die every day.

At the same time, the Divine King's legion collected a large amount of food and raw materials at night, crafted arrows, and made new ropes to stock up on supplies for the counterattack.

As the enemy parasitic war beasts have battle damage every day, there are more and more flying war beasts and aquatic war beasts that appear outside [Swamp City] every day, although it is not enough to break through the defenders' defenses, but it also shows that the enemy has regarded [Swamp City] as the biggest threat.

Even according to the Flying Knights, there are very few traces of parasitic troops outside the swamp.

At this time, the Divine Envoy King's army had already begun to secretly erect rope bridges at night to repair the [bridgehead] ant mounds that had been damaged after the last war, and to prepare for the laying of air defense nets in advance.

With everything in place, the Divine Envoy King's legion finally set foot on the swamp continent again.

- I'm the dividing line -

A large group of ants shuttled back and forth on the rope bridge, and on the bridge deck were teams moving from [Swamp City] to [Bridgehead], often carrying or carrying various supplies. Underneath the bridge were the returning teams, which were basically lightly armed, with their backs to the water, with light steps, not at all afraid of falling into the water.

All of the Divine Envoy King warriors were engaged in carrying supplies and building fortifications.

The ant mound in [the bridgehead] had been repaired before, and the outermost wall had been largely undamaged from the last battle. What the ants need to do is set up an air defense net that covers the entire [bridgehead] tonight.

A few nights before, the ants had fixed a small wooden stick with ant concrete under the city wall, and tonight, the ants tied ropes to the sticks and gathered them on the trunks of the shrubs at the top of the anthill to form the warp of the anti-aircraft net. Then weave the weft of the anti-aircraft net little by little, and leave a few traps in the area facing the water to facilitate the entry and exit of the flying knights.

The air defense network is rapidly taking shape.

Because the [bridgehead] will be directly attacked by the enemy's army, the air defense network here is more dense and the hole size is smaller, making it more difficult for the enemy's parasitic war beasts to penetrate it. The rope is also thicker, making it more difficult to cut through the parasitic beast's jaws.

The protagonist's two ballistae have also been moved, one on top of the anthill at the top, and one on a stone platform near the front line.

It's just that the ballista at the top of the anthill can't cover most of the area like it did in [Swamp City] because it was blocked by bush trunks on one side, and the firing range was only about 180 degrees.

But fortunately, the shooting blind area is mainly on the surface of the water, and there are no threatening targets except for parasitic dragon lice.

By the second half of the night, the defense of the [bridgehead] had been basically arranged, and a certain amount of food, ammunition, building materials and other materials had been carried into the anthill.

The protagonist personally takes Rambovan's Third Legion to the [Bridgehead], while Ramberi stays behind with the Fifth Legion, which has just arrived in the swamp.

The sky is getting white in the east, and the protagonist has no sleep all night.

Today, the enemy is bound to appear, and the protagonist will use a victory to wash away the humiliation of being forced to retreat last time!
