At the beginning of the establishment of the brother port, it was natural that the role of the defense of the river was fully considered.

The sheer number of giant trebuchets as tall as the city walls is terrifying.

The location of Brother Port is carefully selected, it is at the intersection of the two rivers, after the diversion, the water flow is relatively narrow, and some shoals have been artificially filled in by the Eternal Night Army Leader, forming a relatively narrow water portal.

To what extent?

Narrow as the Eternal Night Commander's tailor-made giant trebuchet, it can blast from one end of the river to the other side of the river.

No matter how strong the Cummins family's sea ship is, it can't withstand the bombardment of boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms.

The Cummins family hadn't tried this place before, but after seeing the power of the giant trebuchet of the Eternal Night Army, they turned around and ran away without saying a word.

This kind of fixed trebuchet must have been corrected by a special attack range, and the accuracy was terrifying, and the Cummins family did not dare to break through without full preparation.

In other words, if you want to take the brother port, the fleet of the Cummins family alone will not be able to do it, you must cooperate with the infantry, and after the success of the beach, the giant trebuchet of the brother port will be bulldozed, and the warships of the Cummins family can truly dominate the Danube River.

The rest of the crocodiles who had not yet had time to go to Brother Harbor were helped to keep them away from the war as much as possible with the cooperation of the Eternal Night Warlord.

Until the strategic objective of Brother Port is taken down, the Kingsleys should not launch a full-front attack on the east bank of the Swamp of Despair.

Because it doesn't make much sense, the criss-crossing waterways will become a convenient passage for the Eternal Night Warlords and the Crocodile Clan to constantly harass them, and the fleet of the Cummins family, which can't sail in, has a strong force, but it can't help.

Both Archduke Buck and Axmether are smart people, and even Stubbin, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, who seems to be acting recklessly, has a bit of a taste of pretending to be crazy and stupid.

When these people get together, they naturally know which is the best choice and which is the best.

For the rest of the year, both sides worked towards the same goal.

After the Eternal Night Army led all the crocodile people stranded in Brother Harbor to Andes Mountain, a steady stream of supplies flowed from the Eternal Night Army to Brother Harbor.

Not only the arrows and grains, but also countless giant trees, down the river.

Not only will they be an alternative to the giant trebuchet, many of them will be roped to the surface of the Danube River and turned into water obstacles, making up for the lack of water combat power in the Eternal Night Army.

Even the relatively scarce boulders of the Swamp of Despair are being transported this way.

However, the number is relatively smaller, and more of them come from the coal mines of the Manyu military leader.

Compared with the time-consuming and laborious transportation of stones, it is better to burn bricks directly in the furnace, and when the time comes, they will be loaded together, and the lethality of throwing them out is not much smaller than that of boulders, and after violent impact, it will directly become a scattered bomb.

As for black fire oil and black powder, not to mention, this kind of war weapon is naturally indispensable.

On the Kingsley family's side, after signing a formal covenant with the Cummins family, they began formal water training, and at the same time, the Kingsley family's grain and wood were continuously transported up and transformed into raft warships.

Although the sea ship of the Cummins family has strong combat effectiveness, in order to adapt to the strong winds and waves at sea, the shape is much smaller than that of the river boat.

Eighteen ships are out together, and they can transport five or six thousand people at a time, and they can't get close to the shallows, and they can't be counted on when they land and grab the beach, and they will have to rely on the small boats built by the Kingsley family themselves.

All of a sudden, the entire swamp of despair fell into a state of silence like never before.

But everyone knows that this is the last calm before the storm.

Byron calendar 382, late summer.

This is the third summer in which the Swamp of Despair has been plunged into an abnormal climate, and it is also the most chaotic and turbulent summer.

The battle situation here has turned around several times.

First, the Kingsley family's steady push seemed to take down the entire swamp of despair in one fell swoop.

By the time the crocodiles took advantage of the trap formed by the Swamp of Despair itself, a fire burned the Kingsley family to the ground, and it almost didn't completely crush them.

Then came the sudden intervention of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family without warning, causing the crocodile people to fall short and collapse.

And now it is the Eternal Night Warlord, who has just become part of the Byronic Alliance, to step in, and the two sides face off in an all-out confrontation in the Swamp of Despair.

The speed of change and the complexity of the situation are dizzying.

However, this is only the forces involved in this war on the surface, and there are countless forces hidden behind it.

For example, the Black family, which provided a large amount of grain and grass for the Kingsley family, such as the Lancelot royal family, which cut off the food supply in order to stop the Kingsley family, and instead opened an unlimited supply of food to the Eternal Night Army.

Even the Holy See and the Witches' Council, which seemed to be inactive, were keeping a close eye on the battle in their own ways.

Whichever side takes the swamp of despair on either side will have an impact on the current structure of the Byron alliance.

If the Kingsleys take the Swamp of Despair, they will break free from the ropes of the Lancelot royal family, and according to the temperament of Archduke Buck, the royal name of the Byron Alliance is afraid that it will change.

The eight princely families of the Byron Alliance have no direct allegiance, and no one has stipulated that the royal family is immutable, right?

If the Eternal Night Leader takes the Swamp of Despair, then the Byron Alliance will no longer be the Eight Great Army Leaders, but the out-and-out Nine Great Army Leaders.

Whether other Grand Ducal families like it or not, the rise of a new Grand Ducal Family will be inevitable.

The decisive battle that will have a profound impact on the landscape of the Byron Union is taking place on the last day of the summer.

The reason for the attack on this day was that the Swamp of Despair had rained extensively for three consecutive days, which had caused the water level of the Danube to rise dramatically, which was most suitable for the actions of the Cummins family fleet.

Under the cover of the Third Fleet of the Cummins, thousands of Kingsley rafts rushed to the east bank of the Danube, twenty kilometers downstream of the Brother's Port, in a large shallow shoal.

This is not a natural harbor, but it is most conducive to the spread of the Kingsley family's army, and the heavily armored Kingsley soldiers, even if they fall into the water here, do not have to worry, the deepest part of the water here is only to the chest, and they can struggle out on their own.

"Array, array, with the banner as the center, the eighth middle formation, reloaded in front, and the archers in the rear, forming a defensive formation. As soon as the low-ranking officers of the Kingsley family climbed ashore, they immediately raised their squadron command flags and greeted their soldiers hoarsely.

The Kingsley family and the Cummins family have been in this joint combat operation, and the army is exhausted, not to mention that the Eternal Night Army may have unknown air forces, even under normal circumstances, it is impossible to hide the eyes of the enemy.

Halfway through is the weakest moment for an army, and they must race against the clock to gain a foothold before the Eternal Night leads an attack with the allied forces of the Crocodile.

In order to seize the beach, the Kingsley family's army is based on squadrons.

A squadron of thirty or forty people is the most suitable, even if it is reloaded, three or four rafts can be fitted.

The smaller the number of people, the more convenient it is to assemble, rush ashore, and after assembling into a team, they can form a certain combat effectiveness.

When hundreds of squadrons are grouped together, it is the vanguard of the entire Kingsley family's landing.

Although the area of this shoal is not small, it is also relative, and it is already the limit that it can accommodate two or three hundred raft warships to dock at one time.

What made these low-level officers of the Kingsley family anxious the most was that in the reeds by the river, the figures were shaking, and I don't know how many people were hiding.

The Eternal Night Leader and the Crocodile did not turn a blind eye to the Kingsleys' landing.

Just because they're on the defensive doesn't mean they have to hold on to Brother Harbor and wait for the Kingsley family to attack.

With the help of all the geography in your favor, sniping in all directions is the most correct choice.

Their level of convenience is no worse than that of the Kingsley family.

Although the Cummins family has blocked the Danube, those tributaries on the east bank are still the domain of the Eternal Night Lords and the Crocodiles, and through the complex water network here, their infantry can appear in any position as quickly as possible.

"Arrows!" Just when the first batch of Kingsley family soldiers to land on the shore had not yet fully set foot on the dry land, the overwhelming rain of arrows smashed down fiercely.

All of a sudden, the popping sound was endless.

Those heavily armored Kingsley soldiers, once they were hit in the face door, or in the neck of the armor that could not be guarded, they would not even have a chance to snort, and fell into the water on the spot.

There is no doubt that this is the Andes longbow produced by the Eternal Night Army, and it is made of armor-piercing heavy arrows.

Although Andes' longbow is not yet famous in the world, it can be called famous in a small area.

With ultra-long range and ferocious power, even the heavy infantry of the Kingsley family were terrified when they heard it.

For they had seen their power in the hands of the crocodiles.

But compared to this time, the last time was still pediatrics.

This time, the number of arrows was so dense that the sky was obscured by them, and no matter how they moved and dodged, they were all within the range of the arrows.

What's more, they are now either on a warship or in waistless water, and they are heavily armoured, making it very difficult to move, let alone dodge.

The only thing they could do was to raise their shields or arms to protect their weaker vital points.

However, the chain mail that is powerful in front of ordinary bows and arrows is not enough to see in front of Andes's longbow and heavy arrows, and many Kingsley family soldiers have their arms nailed through, but they can't take their arms away, so they can only grit their teeth and resist.

Soon the golden-silk heavy-armored soldiers were covered with arrows, and each of them had no less than five on them.

Thanks to the Kingsley family, they were prepared for this from the beginning, and the people who rushed to land on the beach were all heavily armored soldiers, otherwise with this wave of arrows alone, the vanguard would be completely wiped out.

Rao is like this, many people are still suppressed and can't raise their heads, let alone rush forward.

"Don't stop, rush forward all the way, make way for the brothers in the back, stay here, just wait for death. The low-ranking officer of the Kingsley family shouted hoarsely.

These low-level officers are often veterans with rich combat experience, and they are real front-line commanders, and they know very well what kind of approach has the highest chance of saving their lives.

The so-called family glory is all imaginary, used to shout slogans before the war, or brag and show off after the war.

When they really go to the battlefield, only a few knights who have been brainwashed by religion or family will fight for glory, and more for survival.

Why do many veterans look more heroic than the new ones and are the first to charge.

After experiencing a lot of war, a little indifference to life and death is only one aspect, but also because they know that if they don't move forward, they will only let themselves die faster.

If they were stuck on this riverbank, it would be a dead end.

You will become an out-and-out obstacle, your allies have no way to land, and the enemy's attacks are endless, and in the end, you will not die in the hands of the enemy, but will be trampled to death by the friendly forces behind you.

Instead, he rushed forward, looking dangerous and abnormal, but there was a glimmer of life.

Because as soon as the road is out of the way, a steady stream of friendly troops will begin to land.

After forming a numerical advantage, not only can you form a counterattack, but in the face of the same number of arrows, the probability of hitting the arrow will be much smaller, right?

Those who can be selected as the vanguard army are naturally the elite of the elite, and the reaction speed is not unfast, and many people have already roared and accelerated the pace of progress.

"Use a raft, use a raft as a shield, and protect the formation. "Among the Kinsley soldiers, there were also wise men, calling out to their comrades, and erecting their means of transport in front of them.

Not to mention, these rafts look unusually rough, but they work very well.

Even the armor-piercing arrows of Andes Longbow's team don't want to nail through these log rafts, which is similar to the original invasion of the mountain Kentana barbarians, who tied logs as shields.

It's just that these rafts are larger, and it takes four or five people to hold them up at the same time, but there are more people who can cover them, and three log rafts can cover a squadron.

The others followed suit, and soon there were countless more shelters in the shallows, and the casualty rate dropped significantly, not to mention, and at the same time cleared the obstacles for the follow-up landing soldiers, allowing them to come closer and land at a faster speed.

Soon bands of Kingsley soldiers landed ashore.

"With the brigade as a unit, begin to assemble and form a defensive front. "The orders of the low-ranking officers of the Kingsley family were quickly adjusted, and with the log raft as a shield, they were not as eager to attack and disrupt the enemy's archers as they were at the beginning, but organized a defense on the spot to provide cover for the brother troops who landed on the shore.

The commander of the Eternal Night Army and the Crocodile Clan who organized the interception this time also had a deep sense of strategy and tactics, and after seeing that the bows and arrows could no longer pose much threat to them, the bows and arrows that fell on them became sparse, and instead moved backwards, covering the Kingsley family soldiers who were still struggling in the water behind them.

Moreover, the joint interception force of the Eternal Night Army and the Crocodile is far more than Andes Longbowmen.

"Attack!" the reeds swayed, and the loud war drums sounded.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The roar of the beast, one after another.

The reeds shook wildly, and one by one, the behemoths in heavy armor stepped on the passages and drilled out of them, like heavy armored tanks, rushing up frantically against the formation that the Kingsley soldiers had just formed.

Andes Giant Bear.

Andes Bear after returning to ancient times.

A giant bear of Andis in heavy armor.

These ancient Andes giant bears have less than one-tenth of their ability to open spell-like spells, but their size is without exception, huge and terrifying.

The shortest one, with a height of more than two meters at the shoulders and a weight of more than 2,000 kilograms, plus more than 100 kilograms of bear armor, seemed to tremble as the ground seemed to tremble when it ran.

The name of the giant bear is in them, and it lives up to its name.

They now have a special name in the Eternal Night Command - Armored War Bears.

When the thirty-six armored war bears charged at the same time, the momentum that swallowed mountains and rivers made even the elite veterans of the Kingsley family who had experienced a hundred battles change their expressions greatly.
