If the Kingsleys want to take control of the entire Swamp of Despair, they must take it down.

Hearsay and paper talk are not as good as actual observations.

In the past, Akmaiser had realized the importance of the brother port based on intelligence alone, but it was far from being so intuitive at this moment.

It's been equated with the Kingsley family taking down the Swamp of Despair.

If they can't take Brother Port, the Kingsley family wants to eat the swamp of despair, and that's empty talk.

The Eternal Night Leader and the Crocodile will use their water mobility to drag the Kingsley family to death.

Not so long ago, they had tasted this power, that constant harassment tactic, and it didn't take too long, in a month or two, to collapse them completely.

While being shocked, Akmaiser felt a fluke in his heart.

Thankfully, their resolute invasion of the Swamp of Despair would have been nothing to do if it had been three or five years later, when the Brother Harbor had been fully completed.

With three parts as support, it is by no means three times more difficult to take the brother port, but ten times more difficult.

Those giant trebuchets that are a block higher than the city walls are afraid that they will fill the banks of the river and will blast all the invading enemies into a stream of urine.

Akmeithor paid the most attention to the main target of his trip, the giant trebuchet that the Eternal Night Leader had placed along the coast.

More precisely, they should be called stone throwers.

Different from the kind of direct throwing trebuchet, the trebuchet uses the principle of lever to throw huge stones out.

Trebuchet, Akmaiser is not unseen.

But such a huge and numerous stone thrower is still the only one in his life.

How huge is this treult?

The walls of Brother Port are not short, and without all kinds of arrow towers, it is not less than five or six meters by visual inspection.

Those stone throwers were nearly a third higher, and from a distance, they were shocking, let alone close.

These tower-like stone throwers, without dozens of people, cannot be operated at all, and there is no way to move, so they can only be used for fixed-point defense.

Needless to say, throwing hundreds of kilograms of boulders is not too simple for it.

Because of their existence, even the rebellious Stubin did not dare to sail the battleship into the waters of Brother Port for a kilometer.

Who knows how far this thing can be ejected?

If he was careless and sank one or two battleships, he would have no place to cry.

And this kind of tower stone thrower, there are 100 in Brother Port, which are placed along both sides of the river, criss-crossed, not only blocking the Danube River and the Bashu River, but also many are aimed at the direction of the wall of Brother Port.

If Akmesser wants to attack the city, he must withstand their firepower.

Before the city was breached, Akmaiser had nothing to think about them.

Because until this thing is dismantled, the Cummins warships will never come close to the waters of Brother Port for a kilometer, let alone attack them from the water.

Looking at the stone-throwing machines and sighing for a while, Axmather turned his attention to the main obstacle to their siege this time—the city walls.

The part of the sister harbor that has been built, surrounded by water, they have mainly built a wall, which will also be the main target of Akmaise.

The walls were six or seven kilometers long, and the height was five or six meters, and judging from their thick foundations, this was far from its design height, but the imminent war, and the Eternal Night Commanders expected that they would attack the brother port, so they hastily built a temporary female wall, the upper half and the lower half, the color of the wall is completely different, is the best evidence.

However, in view of the fact that it has only been two years since the construction of Brother Port broke ground, it has been impressive to be able to do this to this extent, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been used.

If Akmesser knew that Brother Port was just a project site of the Eternal Night Commander, and in the Eternal Night Commandery, there were no less than five such large-scale projects, and the speed was not worse than here, and he didn't know what it would be shocked.

After all, a territory like the Eternal Night Commander, which can frequently mobilize manpower and material resources and the enthusiasm of the people to build, is the first case in the entire Ashan.

Even for those grand duke families, it is not so simple to mobilize the people in ordinary times, not only involving financial resources, but also experience and enthusiasm.

How can their coercive drive mobilize the enthusiasm of the people for construction?

Driven by interests, it is the most correct choice.

Driven by interests, from the immediate point of view, it is a loss for a territory, after all, digging an extra piece of finance from oneself.

But in the long run, this is not the case, this is a certain extent of hiding the wealth from the people, but the money in the hands of the territory is transferred to the people.

If you find a way, you can earn it back from them, it's nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they are desperately trying to make money, isn't it just to make their lives better?

After a circle, the money will be transferred back to the territory.

The territory reaped the infrastructure and prosperity of the territory, and the people lived a better life.

It's a win-win situation.

As for the excess wealth, of course, it was created by the active work of the people under the stimulus of money.

In other territories, once the people heard that there would be a big infrastructure project in the territory or that the lord wanted to build a castle, most of them wailed, and those who could hide, hid, and ran.

Doing these dangerous hard work, not only do you have no money to take it, but if you are not careful, you will put your own life into it.

In the Eternal Night Commandery, I heard that wherever there is an infrastructure project, energetic lords will flock to it, and this is a good opportunity for them to make extra money.

There is nothing to say about the various benefits of the Eternal Night Army, as long as you are willing to work hard, after half a year, the entire family situation will change.

If the performance is good and leaves enough good records, all aspects of the military leader will also be given priority, and there are all kinds of unexpected hidden benefits, such as the support of some emerging industries, the expansion of employees in the expansion of some factories and the education of future generations, etc., will have a certain priority and initiative.

To be selected as a model worker of the whole army, there is a chance to be received and condoled by the supreme ruler of the military leader, and if they can have a meal at the same table with him, it is enough for them to show off for a lifetime.

Of course, Akmesser didn't know that behind this high-speed construction, there was a territory at stake.

More often than not, it is a matter of financial resources, after all, many lords and nobles have slow private castles to be built because of lack of financial resources.

There was no money to build, so I had to stop work for a few months, or even a few years, to raise money, and then continue to build when I had money.

It is not uncommon to spend decades or even hundreds of years building a family castle.

Akmaiser didn't dwell on this issue for long, because he was not a builder all along, but an out-and-out destroyer, and finding a way to break through this newly built city was what he needed to think about right now.

However, looking closely at the surrounding situation, Akmaiser's face turned even darker.

The leader of the Eternal Night Army has achieved the ultimate in city defense.

Not only is the criss-crossing of the city walls, but once the siege is made, it will be attacked from many sides, and some of the ones that can be prepared in advance have been almost prepared.

Let's start with the moat.

Most of the moats in most cities are just small canals.

But this one of Brother Ports is different.

It was a moat in the true sense of the word, dug twenty meters wide, and drained from the Danube to the Bashu River.

Because of the artificial gap, not only the living water, but also the water flow is quite rapid.

As for the depth, the ships that are free to sail on it are the best proof of this.

The first level that was now in front of them was not the city wall, but the moat and the warships on it.

Even if they didn't look closely, according to what Akmesser knew about them, it must have been a war crocodile kept in captivity by the crocodiles.

There were gates, not one, but three.

However, it was a trap in the open, and although the castle tower had not yet been erected, the surrounding arrow towers had already been completed.

Guarded by the towers of arrows, they resemble three recessed demonic maws, waiting to devour the lives of countless people.

The difficulty of crossing this moat alone made the battle-hardened Akmaise's scalp numb, and there was no good way to think of it, so he could only fill it with human lives when the time came.

Let's talk about the surrounding environment.

The Swamp of Despair itself does not produce tall trees, and in order to prevent the Kingsley family from building siege equipment, the Eternal Night Army leader directly bulldozed all the trees and mounds within a radius of five or six kilometers.

If they wanted to make siege equipment, they had to search for trees from tens of kilometers away.

The mound of soil is mound, and you don't have to think about forming a confrontation with them, because the surrounding soil is relatively soft and semi-sandy, and the viscosity is too poor.

The entire Kingsley family battle conference room was gloomy, and no one spoke for a long time.

This is the third day of their siege, not only the army has been in place, but the follow-up materials have also been put in place one after another, but until now, they have not been able to study a good siege plan.

"How's the situation around, how are you probing?Are there any swamp crocodiles you can drive?"

No commander likes to siege a city.

The commander who has a little bit of brains knows that the siege of the city with ants is a good strategy, and he will never use this trick unless he has to.

But now in front of the Kingsley family, it seems that there is only this trick.

Negotiation.

It is simply impossible, there is no way to reconcile the contradictions between them and the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Crocodile.

Is it possible to expect them to surrender?

Or will they Kingsley get out of the swamp of despair?

However, out of luck, Akmaiser sent an emissary at the first moment of the siege.

As you can imagine, before the messenger could get close to the wall, he was shot into a sieve by random arrows.

What war between the two countries, do not cut to make.

That refers to the situation where the two sides can still talk.

When the contradictions are completely opposite and irreconcilable, it is a way to show one's attitude.

At this point, the attitude of the Eternal Night Leader is very clear.

However, in Akmaise's eyes, this has the smell of the hearts of the crocodile, showing his determination to his allies.

This may be an opportunity, the cooperation between the Eternal Night Leader and the Crocodile people is not as close as it seems.

But Akmesser couldn't figure out how to take advantage of this for a moment.

After all, the crocodile people fell to the Eternal Night Army, and their Kingsley family has an unshirkable responsibility, before they are driven out, even if there is a conflict, as long as the Crocodile Elder Council does not make a collective mistake, most of them will bear it.

And the unique topography of Brother Port has deprived them of the possibility of strategic detours.

As for the grain road of the Eternal Night Army, it is behind the people.

If this city is not taken, the fleet of the Cummins family will not be able to pass at all.

They chose Brother Port as the primary target of attack because only by taking it could they revitalize the overall situation.

After besieging the city for a long time, I don't know if the Eternal Night Army Leader can be consumed, and the Kingsley family will definitely not be able to support it for too long.

It was much easier for people to transport supplies and food by water than it was for them to travel through half a swamp of despair.

Now that they are sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, the Kingsley family must find a way to break through as soon as possible.

Many other strategies and tactics need to be based on the enemy's faint moves, and judging from the current situation, the enemy that the Kingsley family faced this time was not only not mediocre, but also shrewd and terrifying.

From the confrontation to the present, the Kingsley family not only did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but also suffered a lot of losses inside and out.

Since there is a high probability that the end will be put into the siege of the city by the attached ants, Akmaiser naturally began to prepare very early.

Drive away the crocodiles as much as possible, and make them cannon fodder for the Kingsley family to attack the city.

It's not about good or evil, it's a more conventional siege method, and if the lives of a hundred crocodiles can be exchanged for the lives of a Kingsley soldier, it's worth it.

When defending the city, there were not many lords who drove their own people to the city to assist in defending the city.

It's all the same thing, this is the most frightening part of the military disaster, if you are not careful, you will become a cheap consumable in the hands of others.

"Fifty kilometers around, all the exploration has been completed, those large towns, most of the people go to empty buildings, occasionally there are people, and there are old people who can't move, there is no way to migrate, and the rest are the wild people who are not within the rule of the Elders Council of the Crocodile Tribe, including women, children, old and children, and they have not been collected at present. The lieutenant general in charge of the task replied.

"Fifteen thousand?" Akmaiser's brow furrowed.

This bit of cannon fodder is not enough for a few tentative consumptions.

It seems that he also knows that his task is not well accomplished, the deputy general explained: "The crocodile people here are the first batch to move to the Eternal Night Army, many of them have moved away half a year ago, before we officially sent out the army, the people of the Eternal Night Army Leader, and they are hyped to fight them, we are about to fight, the rest of them are not gone, they can move, and most of them run to the other side of the Bashu River, and now the Bashu River is still in the hands of the other party, there is no way to arrest people on the other side, in such a short time, it is already the limit to be able to collect these." ”

"Increase the search area, fifty kilometers will not work, then one hundred kilometers, one hundred kilometers will not succeed, only one hundred and fifty kilometers, I still don't believe it, they have already moved all the crocodile tribesmen to the Eternal Night Army?" said Akmaiser through gritted teeth.

If you can't collect enough cannon fodder, you won't even be able to fight the siege of the city.

Akmesser has a minimum limit for the casualties of this attack on Brother Port, and once this minimum is exceeded, it will directly affect the entire layout of the Kingsley family in the Swamp of Despair.

A few days ago, when they grabbed the beach, they had already consumed a wave, and the casualty tolerance figure had become smaller.

The general was shocked and said: "Marshal, by all means, the larger the scope of the investigation, the more dispersed our forces will be, and the more vulnerable they will be. ”

"Bastard!" Rao was always quiet, and he couldn't help but curse angrily at the moment.

This is the most difficult opponent he has ever encountered, and he has done a great job in all aspects, killing all the factors that are unfavorable to their defense of the city, so that they have no loopholes to exploit at all.

The other Kingsley generals looked at their noses and noses as if they hadn't heard anything, and no one wanted to touch Akmesser's head at this time.

Fortunately, Akmaise's self-regulation ability is very strong, and after taking a few deep breaths, he adjusted his emotions and said: "Keep the exploration range within a hundred kilometers, too complex terrain, especially wading in water, try to avoid it, and the west bank, let me not let go of any piece of land search, as long as the height exceeds the rut, and those who can still move, all of them will be driven over for me." ”
