Lambo Wan anxiously awaits the reward ahead.

After he confirmed that there was no main enemy force under the first city wall except for a few enemy troops wandering around to launch diversionary attacks. He decisively deployed one-third of his troops to try to regain the position on the east side of the first city wall that was breached by the enemy.

Soon after, a messenger sent by Rambofo of the Second Legion conveyed their movements.

The commanders of the two legions coincided with each other. Without the latest order from the Divine Envoy King, they could not give up the remaining positions. They could only deploy a part of their troops to attack the flanks of the parasitic ant army from two directions, as much as possible. Alleviate the defensive pressure on the First Corps.

The intelligence coming from the front was not optimistic. The Second Army and the Third Army gradually invested more and more troops, but they were unable to defeat the enemy with overwhelming numbers.

The news from the First Army showed that they had suffered heavy losses and could only barely maintain their defense line from collapsing.

Just when Rambo Wan was extremely anxious, he felt a vibration in the air behind him.

As soon as Lambo Wan turned around, he saw a flying knight landing behind him.

However, Rambowan didn't pay attention to the flying knight at all. All his attention was attracted by another male ant on the fly mount.

That was the protagonist. He was a little depressed at the moment, but there were no signs of injury anywhere on his body. Hua Mulan helped him get off the mount.

When rescuing the protagonist, the flying knight finally chose to let his mount stop on the vertical surface of the city wall. Flies have this ability to stay firmly on a vertical surface. Later, the guards tried their best to put the protagonist and Hua Mulan on the flying knight's mount that was parked at overhead height, and helped them escape.

As for the other guardsmen, the last thing the protagonist saw was the heroic scene of them turning back to kill an enemy that was a hundred times or a thousand times their size the moment the flying knight flew into the sky.

The protagonist is in a very bad mood now. This battle is more tragic than expected. The appearance of parasitic dung beetles is far greater than originally expected. The direct and potential losses caused to the Angel King's army are also shocking, even to his own imperial guard squad. They were all wiped out.

But he cannot be discouraged now, the battle is still going on, and he has an obligation to let these brave warriors under his command get the victory that is rightfully theirs, and the hope of living as long as possible.

The fly carried three ants and flew flexibly in the sky. The protagonist ordered the flying knight to fly around the battlefield at high altitude and learn about the overall situation of the battlefield.

Subsequently, the Flying Knight was ordered to land in the position of the Third Army.

The protagonist has now slowly recovered from the sequelae. Although he is still a little tired and listless, he is already able to move on his own. This recovery speed is much faster than when he first suffered the sequelae.

Instead of being polite to Rambo Wan, the protagonist immediately gave him an order and asked for the command of the six squads of the Third Army.

The protagonist ordered these six teams, under the command of one of the oldest kings, to leave the fortress and attack the location of the large pale gold worker ants hiding far on the edge of the battlefield.

Rambowan personally led the main force of the Third Army and continued to attack the army of parasitic ants blocking the gap in the second city wall.

As for the small number of diversionary troops of parasitic ants wandering under the first city wall, the Third Legion only left two teams as surveillance.

Afterwards, the protagonist got on the Flying Knight's mount, came to the Second Legion's station, and gave instructions to Lambov.

In addition to asking Rambofo to leave two squads to monitor the enemy's diversionary forces, and to send the main force to continue flanking the enemy, the protagonist also asked for the command of six squads.

These six teams were sent by the protagonist to Gun's command to supplement his reserve team.

Then the protagonist also came to Gun's position, and Gun, who conscientiously stabilized his position, was commended by the protagonist. What surprised him even more was that the protagonist told him that the time to counterattack would come soon.

The return of the Divine Envoy King has greatly boosted the morale of the three legions. With unified command, the Divine Envoy King's legion can finally exert 100% combat effectiveness.

The First Army Corps first alternately provided cover and took the initiative to withdraw from the front line in the gap in the city wall that had been stabilized at the expense of a large number of elite soldiers.

This is not retreat in defeat, but retreat in order to advance. The First Army re-established a concave arc-shaped defense line on the platform inside the gap. The terrain here is flat, which is more conducive for the Divine Envoy King's army to exert its tactical advantage.

In this way, the parasitic ants must first climb through the rugged city wall gap, and the scattered parasitic ant warriors who have just climbed out of the gap must also face the pincer attack from the Angel King's army that surrounds them from three directions, as well as the continuous shooting from behind the formation. Threat from long-range forces.

After the First Legion changed its defense tactics, the losses of the Parasitic Ant warriors increased rapidly, and it was difficult for the Thread Parasitic Fungi to support them through the rugged gap area.

The defense line in the gap in the city wall was stabilized and began to kill and injure the enemy's effective forces in large numbers.

But in this way, the Divine Envoy Army also paid other prices: the city walls on both sides of the gap originally only had to face the enemy's attack from the outside. When the gap was voluntarily abandoned, the city walls above these two gaps had to face The enemy surrounded and attacked on three sides.

At the beginning, the protagonist wanted to keep these two sections of the city wall. This is the commanding height overlooking the gap and has important tactical significance. However, after suffering heavy casualties, the defenders of the God's Envoy Army were completely annihilated, and two important points were still lost.

Although this was not planned by the protagonist, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it is very common for unexpected situations to occur. The important thing is how to respond.

The protagonist was not discouraged. He immediately assigned a small team of soldiers to support the city wall, and assisted the defenders of other city walls to use the narrow city wall platform to establish a defense line.

After seizing the two sections of the city wall at the gap, the parasitic ants only deployed part of their troops for defense and did not continue to expand the breach along the second city wall. This also gave the fortress defenders on the city wall some breathing space. opportunity.

The main attack direction of the parasitic ant army is the gap. Even though the area here is extremely rugged, the gap of half a centimeter wide is still enough for the parasitic ants to continuously invest their strength and directly attack the core of the fortress across the city wall.

As more and more parasitic ants crawled through the gap, the First Legion, which relied on tight defense formations, began to face challenges again. The warriors of the Divine Envoy King who have been fighting fiercely for a long time have almost reached the limit of their physical strength, but their opponents seem to be endless. As soon as they kill a group, a new group will rush up again.

Gun has pushed forward all the reserve troops on hand, including the six teams supported by the Second Army, and now he has no cards left to fight.

The protagonist keeps looking eastward, although he can't see anything through the city wall.
