Although he hates the traitor Flying Eagle with gnashing of teeth, the protagonist really has no good solution and no energy to deal with him now.

Anyway, Tingying has been rebelling for several months. Now, killing him physically will not only vent his anger, but will not have the effect of repairing the situation. Tingying has already leaked all the secrets that can be leaked.

The current focus of the Army of the God's Envoy has been on the swamp area. The Army of the God's Envoy has adopted a wait-and-see attitude in the areas along the river. There are not many garrison troops, so it is unable to rebuild the rope bridge and then cross the river to launch revenge.

As for using flying knights to capture Flying Eagle, the protagonist has considered it, but he also considered that the flying knights deployed in [Linshui City] and other places are all flying knights, and many of them are Flying Eagle's old subordinates.

With Flying Eagle's lessons learned and a serious sense of distrust, the protagonist is afraid that more fly knights will defect, so he simply orders all the fly knights to move to [Southern City] and participate in the operation in the swamp area. Come.

In addition, he dispatched the Bee Flying Knights, composed of fifty large worker ants, to Linshui City to take charge of operations on the north bank of the river.

Although this ensures the loyalty of the Flying Knights - the Great Worker Ant class is completely based on the trust of the protagonist, it is impossible for the Bee Flying Knights to be tolerated by the King's Council faction that is conservative and discriminates against the Worker Ants.

However, the flying skills and speed of bees are weaker than that of flies. It is difficult for the bee flying knight to catch the cunning fly hawk in the air.

Therefore, dealing with this traitor is not a top priority now. The protagonist is still leading troops to fight in the swamp area.

——I am the dividing line——

During this period of time, the Divine Envoy King's Legion was making very smooth progress in the swamp area.

Since the use of air defense nets to restrict the enemy's air superiority and the use of ballistae to obtain true long-range strike capabilities, the Angel King's Legion has gained an advantage in the nest defense battle.

After several days of severe weakening of the parasitic army in the defensive battle of [Bridgehead] (this [Bridgehead] is not the [Linshui City] on the north bank of the river), the parasitic army showed its exhaustion. The protagonist judged that the time to counterattack had come, and led the Divine Envoy King The Legion began to counterattack.

Of course, the Legion of the God's Envoy will not go to the wild to fight with a large number of enemies. That is an act of seeking death and will completely expose the troops to the enemy's superior air power.

The Angel King's Legion always takes advantage of the night to sweep the parasitic ant nests near the fortress, rounding up and killing those parasitic war beasts that spend the night nearby.

After the parasitic army near the [Bridgehead] was almost eliminated, the Angel King's Army followed the winding land of the swamp and entered the interior. Three hours away from the [Bridgehead], the Angel King's Army spent another night. Over time, a fortress [Tree Stump City] with an air defense net was built around a lonely tree stump.

The protagonist personally led Rambovan's legion to settle in it, and carried ballistae. Lambory's legion was divided into two parts and stationed in [Swamp City] and [Bridgehead].

After that, the Divine Envoy King's army repeated its old tricks and continued to use defensive warfare to weaken the nearby parasitic army. This new fortress is far away from the water, and now the parasitic army's most threatening dragon louse water cannon Ye has no way to use it.

Although all kinds of strange parasitic war beasts always have some special abilities to cause death and injury to the warriors of the God Envoy King, such as the silk of parasitic spiders, the venom of parasitic centipedes and scorpions, etc., these strange skills cannot change the entire battle situation. Attracting the pursuit of the protagonist Ballista.

After almost wiping out the parasitic fungus forces near [Stump City] (the newly built fortress), the Angel King's Legion in the swamp area received new reinforcements.

Spider Wolf's 12th Legion arrived at [Swamp City] carrying an improved ballista.

This time, the fleet went back and forth very smoothly, and with favorable winds, reinforcements came again in less than a month.

The protagonist now has three legions on hand. The increase in military strength makes the protagonist more confident. Otherwise, the current step-by-step tactics will inevitably lead to excessive dispersion of troops.

The improved ballista brought by the fleet is based on the protagonist's design. Compared with the original ballista, it has an additional fixing device for the main arm of the ballista. After aiming, the position will be fixed with a simple ratchet. The shooter needs extra effort to maintain the aiming state and can concentrate on firing.

In addition, the fleet also brought a set of ratchet spare parts and other ballista spare parts, which were enough to repair the first ballista that had previously deteriorated in performance, and to improve the two original ballistas to the latest models.

With this simple improvement, ordinary ants also have the ability to use ballistae.

The protagonist quickly led his subordinates to complete the repair and improvement of the ballistae. This way, [Swamp City], [Bridgehead] and [Stump City] can each be guarded by a ballistae, and can also be concentrated when the battle is fierce. Use the ballista.

After training, a team of ten ants is now able to flexibly control ballista shooting. The protagonist has trained five such teams, which is the establishment of a team.

Finally, the walnut ship fleet also brought two ant queens this time, and they will be stationed in [Swamp City].

With the presence of the queen ant, this forward base entering the swamp will be transformed into an ordinary nest, with the ability to be self-reliant, providing supplies and soldiers to the Angel King's army nearby, and enhancing its sustainability.

Just [Swamp City], the area is too small and cannot provide enough supplies.

But through the rope bridge, [Swamp City] and [Bridgehead] are almost connected as a whole, and the nearby parasitic bacteria have basically been eliminated. There are only parasitic war beasts that occasionally wander over, so there is nothing to fear when they are alone.

With the support of the two fortresses and nearby areas, the ants were able to collect a large amount of supplies, which could basically support three or four legions to fight in the swamp area, reducing their dependence on the mainland.

The two queens quickly recovered from their seasickness and began laying eggs within a few days.

They first lay thousands of worker eggs, and workers are more efficient than soldiers at gathering food and building nests.

After estimating that the number of worker ants is roughly sufficient, these queen ants begin to produce soldier ant eggs to supplement the battle losses on the front line.

The protagonist leads the Army of the Divine Envoy King in a military operation in the swamp area that is progressing smoothly. It seems that the parasitic army has no hidden cards.

If it weren't for the complex terrain of the swamp area, many places would be inaccessible by land. In addition, the weather is getting colder, and the time to move during the day is getting less and less. The protagonist is fully confident to eliminate the enemy's power within four months and completely eliminate this worry.

Next, the Divine Envoy King's Legion will leave [Stump City], go to an area where a large number of parasitic ants gather, build a new fortress, and continue to use defensive counterattacks to eliminate the enemy.
