"Eternal Night, Strike!"

The moment those Kingsley soldiers jumped on the city wall, waiting for them to be as sharp as Bai Lian.

In case one blow doesn't work, three or four sabers of the eternal night, or two or three maces, or two or three shields, hit the same target at the same time.

First there was the sound of an eggshell breaking, followed by the sound of a brittle sword sprinting into the bone.

The shield is broken, and the people are killed.

"Even if it's a battle artifact, it's not invincible. ”

Seeing such a situation, the Eternal Night Army Leader breathed a long sigh of relief from top to bottom, although it was a little troublesome, at least he could be killed, and the shock caused by the previous long arrow that missed and burned without death was alleviated a lot.

"Drive them off the wall, push them all off the wall. ”

"Cut off the hook, knock down the ladder, and quickly cut off the rope hook. ”

When the shock subsided, everything returned to normal city defense procedures.

Because they found that these brave Kingsley soldiers were not really invulnerable, but their resistance had become stronger, and walking in them for a short time had less impact.

If you stay in the fire for a long time, you still have to turn into a huge humanoid torch.

It is easier to push them off the city and burn them alive than to kill them with time and effort.

Even the most brave people, in the face of this cruel and incomparably fierce fire, there is no way not to change color, one by one wails in pain, and has no spirit to continue to attack the city.

At times like these, the fire resistance from that energy shield doesn't help them, but rather increases their torment, allowing them to endure the fire for longer before they die.

Maybe because the previous scene was so shocking, everyone seemed to feel that time had stood still, and after a long sigh of relief, those who watched the battle found that they had been shocked into a cold sweat.

Before this, they had already heard about the power of the battle artifact, and they had been guarding against the Kingsley family's move, so they had defended it before, and kept some strength as much as possible.

But it's one thing to hear, it's another thing to actually see.

That situation is really more shocking than the legend, more mysterious than it sounds.

After all, they have witnessed with their own eyes that things that originally only existed in legends appear in reality.

Compared to the crocodile soldiers, the Soldiers of the Eternal Night are more receptive to this fantasy scenario.

After all, many people have seen similar scenes before.

Doesn't the self-produced guardian enchanted equipment have a similar effect?

It should be said that it is more mysterious, although the protection lasts for such a long time, and the protection ability is not so comprehensive, but once launched, it can easily resist the full force of the big knight, and it is said that even the full force of the champion knight can offset more than half, which is obviously not comparable to the opponent's energy armor.

"Prepare to carry out the plan of retreat on all fronts. Sean grimaced and gave a somewhat unexpected order.

"Isn't it a little early? The situation hasn't collapsed to this point, right?" said the main chief of staff, Kelman, a little surprised, "The other party is about to be pushed down again, and it should be no problem to defend for a few more days and consume the Kingsley family's vital strength as much as possible." ”

"The battle artifact is the biggest hole card of the Kingsley family, either it will not be activated, once it is activated, it means that the other party is ready to fight to the death at all costs, whether it is Grand Duke Buck or Axmator is a decisive person, and will never use his elite to add fuel to the tactics, just this wave of attacks, I think it is the Kingsley family is testing the effect of the battle artifact, it will not be long before it will be their general attack time. "What is echoing in Sean's mind at this moment is the golden armor, which is as vast as a lake, and the energy fluctuations.

That huge energy is by no means just arming such a small number of people in front of you, and it is not so easy to be consumed.

If you put this energy shield on the hoplites, under the double defense, it will be more difficult to kill them.

"Tentative Battle Artifact Effect?Isn't this Battle Artifact the Kingsley Family's Town Treasure?Aren't they aware of the effect of the Battle Artifact?" Not only did Kelman have such a question, but the others were also stunned and thoughtful.

"Legends and reality are two different things, we have heard about the effect of the golden armor before, but can you imagine the situation now?" Sean asked rhetorically, and without waiting for their answers, he continued, " It's been a long time since I've heard of the use of a battle artifact, even if the Kingsley family's contemporary family, Grand Duke Buck, I'm afraid he hasn't really seen the effect of the battle artifact, and its energy is too precious to test casually, if you, will you completely bet the life and death of an army on a piece of equipment that only exists in written records and the actual effect is not clear?"

"No!" Most people shook their heads without hesitation, and even if there was hesitation, it was because of the strong ability of the golden armor.

"So, prepare early, and if you can't bear it, retreat immediately. Sean said with a solemn expression, "It is important to consume the living power of the Kingsley family, but it is equally important to preserve your own living power, if there is a conflict between the two, give priority to the latter." ”

"Understood. Kelman's military staff nodded in agreement.

This is a major tactical concept of the Eternal Night Army, a hard battle is not something that cannot be fought, it is based on the premise that it is meaningful, and a meaningless hard battle is avoided if it can be avoided.

"Over there is an elder council of the crocodile clan, I'm afraid there will be obstacles!" Kelman reminded Sean before leaving.

"Yes, I'll tell them personally. Sean nodded, "You just have to prepare." ”

In the eyes of the crocodile, Brother Port is their last line of defense, and they will not retreat.

The reason why they had left Brother Harbor to be defended by the Eternal Night Warlord was because they thought that the Eternal Night Warlord had recognized the strategic value of the Brother Port and would shed the last drop of blood here like them.

Now they are told that they are ready to retreat on all fronts, and the strong resistance can be imagined.

"My lord, this is completely inconsistent with the tactics we agreed on earlier, right? The current situation has not yet reached the point of complete irreparability? Why did you suddenly come up with a plan to retreat on all fronts? Even if you don't break the boat, you can't relax the anger of the soldiers at such a critical moment, right?"

"We're retreating now, what about the Swamp of Despair? What about our people who haven't been able to retreat? Are you just throwing it to the Kingsley family to ravage? You saw what those beasts did before, they don't treat the crocodile people as human beings at all, once we don't hold the Kingsley family here, they will attack our people as soon as possible!"

"It was you who advocated defending Brother Harbor before, and now it is you who propose to retreat on all fronts, did you do it on purpose, so that our crocodiles can get on your ship and withdraw with you to the Eternal Night Army, so that it will be convenient for you to pinch and pinch the circle when the time comes?"

When Sean approached the archelders of the crocodile clan, they showed not only resistance, but disbelief, which was completely unexpected.

Especially the latter sentence, which is an out-and-out heart-wrenching statement, directly picks out the biggest contradictions and gaps between the two sides.

Even the four great elders of the crocodile clan, who had always handled it fairly, failed to stand up for the first time, and looked at Sean with a puzzled expression, obviously very puzzled by this decision.

Sean was not angry because he was questioned, and patiently explained: "In this world, there has never been an immutable battle plan, our original battle plan was to drag down the Kingsley family through Brother Harbor, and then turn around to deal with the Cummins family's water fleet, but you have also seen the situation just now, the Kingsley family, who activated the battle artifact, is too advantageous on the ground, and our soldiers have been dragged into a weak state by their cannon fodder, when they no longer care about the casualties of elite soldiers, it is also the time when the city is broken." ”

"Your Excellency, it's too long for others to be majestic and destroy their own morale, right? Our soldiers have entered a state of weakness, and the Kingsley family is no better, even if the battle artifact is magical, it will not make them suddenly energetic, at this time, both sides are gritting their teeth and insisting, I don't believe that the Kingsley family soldiers are made of steel, and after so many battles and so many deaths, those soldiers don't feel it at all?"

"The elder is right. Sean nodded and said, "But the battle is fought again, our long-range firepower is reduced, and the fight is not only morale, but also casualties, the elites of both you and me are here, once the casualties are heavy, the outcome is also not optimistic, even if it is a tragic victory, what is the point? The Kingsley family has a much stronger foundation than ours, if it comes back in three or two years, what resistance will we take? Therefore, we are not only thinking about victory, but also a big victory." ”

"If you have to give up your greatest geographical advantage and be driven back to your hometown, what can you talk about a great victory?, don't you think you are inconsistent in what you say?" rebuked an elder of the crocodile tribe, who was a strong opponent of organizing the retreat of the people to the army of the eternal night.

His people were now in the Swamp of Despair, and they weren't particularly far from the battlefield, so it was unknown whether they had been driven by the Kingsley family to become siege cannon fodder.

Although water traffic in the direction of the Bashu River has not been cut off, Brother Port is now not closely connected to the other tribes of the Desperate Swamp.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that the crocodile people are too scattered, and they are affected by the war, and those crocodile people will instinctively avoid the war.

The crocodile people are different from the farming people, who are rooted in the land and have no way to leave it.

The crocodile people are mainly fishing and hunting, and fishing boats are their foundation, as long as there is a boat, there is a home, and the family runs up, not too smooth.

Among the four Great Elders of the Crocodile Clan, Great Elder Bishop, who has the nickname of the peacemaker, stood up and said, "Don't be impatient, everyone, let's deal with each other, it's not a day or two, Your Excellency the lord's temperament is also understood, it is definitely not the kind of person who will make decisions when his head is hot, now that this plan is proposed, there will definitely be considerations in this regard, no one likes to fail, right!" They didn't come to Brother Harbor to defeat the battle, otherwise they wouldn't have entered the game from the beginning, as long as they sent the Grim Reaper Waterway, no matter how strong the Cummins family's fleet was, it would be helpless, don't you say?"

Although the words of Grand Elder Bishop were suspicious of a round, they could also be called a stable opinion, and those crocodile elders who had just vented their words were a little less anxious, and they couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

The interests of the Eternal Night Warlords are in some ways aligned with those of the Crocodiles, and it doesn't do them any good to do them so.

"What are your lord's plans? Why don't you tell them together? We are allies now, if we hide everything from us, how can we cooperate with your cooperation. Bishop, though still smiling, questioned in his own way, "You say yes, lord." ”

Sean didn't deny it, nodded and said: " The Great Elder is right, we are here to win the battle, not to defeat the war, from the beginning we have made two preparations, the first plan is of course to defend the brother port, drag the Kingsley family to death, if the first plan is frustrated, we will retreat on the water, find a way to eat the fleet of the Cummins family first, and then cut off the supply line of the Kingsley family from the water, trapping them for life and death, from the current situation, the strength of the Kingsley family, far above our estimate, the two sides will win or lose, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory, more than half of the elite casualties, so we decided to adopt the second plan。 ”

"Retreat to the water, find a way to eat the Cummins fleet, cut off the Kingsley family's supply lines from the water?"

The crocodile elders widened their eyes one by one, looking at Sean with a look of fantasy.

Even Grand Elder Nitya, who had always been the referee in the center, couldn't help but ask at this moment: "It's because we can't defeat the fleet of the Cummins family on the water that we decided to defend the brother's port, why is it now that we have to eat the fleet of the Cummins family first? If we really have the ability to eat it, we don't have to be so troublesome." ”

"This time and that time. Sean shook his head and said with a smile, "In this world, there is no immutable plan, if there is no first plan, the possibility of the second plan succeeding will be much lower, saying that it is the second plan, in fact, it is just an extension of the first plan, it can also be said that the first plan is the foreshadowing of the second plan." ”

"At this time, the lord should not sell the guanzi. Grand Elder Webb frowned and said, "Or your Excellency can't trust these people here?"

The Great Elder spoke seriously. Sean said with a straight expression, "Since I'm here, I'm with you, but many things are just our unilateral plans, whether it can be achieved or not depends on whether the enemy hits or not, otherwise, it will also fall short." ”

Sean didn't give the elders a chance to continue asking questions, and continued: "Our current stubbornness will create a false impression for the Kingsley family and the Cummins family, making them think that the cloud catapult is our main means of dealing with the Cummins family fleet, once they control the cloud catapult, what do you think they will do?"

"Of course, the fleet of the Cummins family is all out, blocking the Eternal Night Army back to Andes Mountain, and completely blocking the entrance and exit of the Reaper Waterway. Several crocodile elders replied in unison.

They have deduced the consequences of this kind of war situation over and over again, and once they enter this situation, they are almost incomprehensible.

Even if they were helpless against the fleet of the Commins, the crocodiles alone could not carry the ground of the Kingsleys.

Before the attack and defense of Brother Harbor, the crocodile people still had a little blind confidence from top to bottom.

But after seeing the brutal attack and defense, they suddenly found that their understanding of war was too shallow.

The crocodiles were able to fight the Kingsley family for a few rounds before, but in addition to geography, because the Kingsley family was a little contemptuous and did not show all their hole cards.

If they had used the battle artifact Golden Armor at the beginning, they would have been able to crush them alive at the mouth of the Fog Hidden Lake.

The Kingsley soldiers, who had both the agility of the light infantry and the defense of the heavy infantry, did not have much confidence to resist.

"What other means do you have against the Cummins fleet?" the Crocodile Elder finally reacted, sensing the hidden meaning of Sean's words.

Sean did not deny it, and replied bluntly: "Yes, but it must be in a unique geography to be effective." ”

Nitya said thoughtfully, "The special geography that Lord Lordship refers to refers to the section of water from Brother Harbor to the Death Aquaway?"

"The Ancestor is worthy of being the first wise man of the crocodile, yes, only by forcing them into a narrow waterway can our means be effective, we want not only to destroy a few warships of the Cummins fleet, but to inflict heavy damage or even total annihilation, so that we can regain control of the Danube. ”
