With the Paving Ant Barbarian Army scouts fleeing in the wilderness, the protagonist doesn't have to move for the time being.

It turned out that just now, the scouts who were searching the rest of the trunk had approached the top of the trunk. And this is where the protagonist is currently staying, because here you can see the scene at the entrance of "Waterfront City" at a glance.

Although the wind was stronger higher above the trunk, making it a little difficult for the scouts to walk, it still couldn't stop the scouts. They leaned down, moving forward little by little through the cracks in the bark, slowly approaching the protagonist's position.

The protagonist doesn't take this lightly, and although these scouts have poor eyesight, once they get within half a meter, the protagonist is still at great risk of exposure.

So the protagonist has been thinking about whether to change places, because once he is found fighting, with the protagonist's current state - wearing a thick coat and shivering from the cold, it is still very inconvenient to act, and if you are not careful, you may be blown into the river by the wind, which will be even worse, and it will soon become a lump of ice sculpture.

However, if the protagonist changes places, the vision will definitely not be as good as the current position, and it is also a very troublesome thing for the protagonist who wants to grasp the overall situation of the battlefield.

Just when the protagonist hesitates, a turning point comes. As the scouts who penetrated into the interior of Waterfront City were killed, the scouts who sensed that something was wrong immediately sent a signal, and then the scouts who were searching immediately stopped their mission and returned to join up with the other scouts.

After they escape, the protagonist crawls back into the city and encourages the warriors who had just joined the battle. However, the Divine Messenger King warriors are not yet able to let their guard down, and the protagonist knows that as the enemy scouts flee back, a formal attack by the enemy army will follow.

The protagonist continues to go outside, gazing at the scene across the river.

At this time, the deserted scouts had just crossed the ice bridge to the north bank of the river. As they entered the phalanx of the first Paving Ant Barbarian Army they encountered, countless messengers immediately poured out of this array, rushing towards the other phalanxes.

With the messengers in place one after another, all the kings of the entire Paving Ant Barbarian Army knew the latest information ahead. Countless messengers mingled back and forth, conveying the opinions of their commanders—and the outnumbered paver ants used this to complete a pre-war meeting, which was less efficient but more useful.

As the communication deepened, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army seemed to have discussed the result. In fact, the specific tactics and plans have been communicated before, and the kings of the paving ants have only communicated some information that the scouts have found that is very different from the previous ones.

Although the Scouts did not have a high IQ, the information they brought back with their sacrifice still attracted the attention of the commanders of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army. The scouts don't know the significance of the higher room temperature in Waterfront City, but the Paving Ant King can understand it.

Even if the defenders were strengthened as a result, it would not be possible to deter the belligerent enemy. After a brief communication, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army still launched an attack according to the original plan.

The 5,000 warriors of the two phalanxes closest to the river bank were the first to start, and they divided into two columns and climbed the ice bridge along the pheromones left behind by the scouts. However, instead of moving forward, the warriors came to the edge of the ice bridge, and stood firmly on the edge of the ice bridge hand and foot, like a guardrail on the bridge.

Subsequently, the other phalanxes began to activate one after another, passing through the ice bridge one by one in order from near to far. These phalanxes would transform into long marching formations before crossing the ice bridge, and then, after crossing the ice bridge, some of the legions that arrived first would form an arc of search formations, followed by other legions lined up in close phalanxes.

Since there were two legions on both sides of the ice bridge, there was no crowding, stampeding, or falling water at the not very wide ice bridge, and forty legions crossed the frozen river in an orderly manner.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Army arrives faster than the protagonist expects, and it only takes an hour to step on the land of the island where Waterfront City is located.

However, it doesn't make much difference if you come earlier or later, and the Divine Envoy King Legion in "Waterfront City" is already the best prepared for battle.

Due to the large number of enemy troops, all forty legions could not climb the island, so except for two legions who remained on the ice bridge, only eight legions landed on the island, and the other thirty legions firmly controlled a piece of land on the south bank of the river and the wooden bridge leading to the island.

Even if only eight legions of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army landed on the island, there were 20,000 enemies, far more than the defenders in the "Waterfront City".

However, the protagonist is not too worried, with the current defensive structure of "Waterfront City", it is difficult to give full play to the superiority of the enemy.

In order to prevent the enemy from searching for the bare canopy with nowhere to hide, the protagonist returns to the interior of the "Waterfront Castle" at the same time as the enemy lands on the island. He did not command in the first line, but handed over the command to roll.

In the protagonist's makeshift dormitory near the combustion chamber, the protagonist can feel the vibrations coming from under his feet. It is the shock of the fight and roar of the enemy and the enemy, and it is also the shock of the dying and struggle of the warrior.

I don't know how long it took for the shock to slow down until it disappeared. Soon, a messenger sent by Roll reports to the protagonist that the First Legion of the Divine Emissary King has repelled the enemy attack.

And at this moment, the sun immediately sets.

The protagonist goes to see Roll, and from the packets sent by him and some of the front-line squad commanders, the protagonist sees the full picture of the battle between the two sides.

The Legion of the Divine King was on the defended battlefield, the flat nest on the second floor.

It was a carefully chosen place of engagement: the temperature on the second level was warm enough compared to the icy first layer not to interfere too much with the defenders' movements.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Warrior has to go through a short dark passage to get here, and the protagonist doesn't know how long the Paver Ant can be active in the dark after being charged with sunlight, but there is definitely a certain time limit.

In addition, the shape of this flat nest has been specially designed.

In terms of height, it is enough for the Divine Envoy King's legion to use the usual decapitation tactic from high to low, and in terms of width, the paving ants that have been pouring in one after another are certainly no match for the defenders who have already formed a formation and have the advantage of the length of the line.

And here, it is the death space that the protagonist tailors for the Paving Ant Barbarian Army. For this reason, the protagonist spared no expense to make drastic renovations to the nest that was not originally in this shape.
