"In a word, we have no money now, and all we used before were the treasury accumulated over the years, and we must end this war as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it drags on, the smaller our chances of success. ”

Akmeiser still vividly remembers the helplessness and embarrassment he felt when the current head of the Kingsley family, the Grand Duke of Carthusian Warlord, said these words to him.

Who would have thought that the Kingsley family, which is famous for its wealth, would face a financial crisis one day.

Believe it or not, the facts are in front of Akmerser, which can make the arrogant Grand Duke Buck support the bottom, indicating that the financial crisis of the Kingsley family has reached a very serious level, far exceeding the dignity of the Grand Duke Buck, and Akmer even suspects that the Kingsley family's financial deficit is a little more serious than what Archduke Buck said, and the pressure on the other party is even greater than he imagined.

At least Akmether's enemies were now in plain sight, and he only had to think about how to defeat them.

The enemies faced by Grand Duke Buck lay dormant in the shadows, and no one knew what they would do.

Now that the military strength of the Carthusian army is so strong that the secret unions of the mine slaves have become extremely active one by one.

Fortunately, Akmaiser was decisive enough in the face of the situation after the retreat of the remnants of the slave rebel army, and sorted out the unstable factors, killing those who could kill, cutting and chopping, and now the fierce reputation is still there, and those rebel forces will not be able to organize for a while, and they will not dare to show their heads easily.

Either way, this battle must be resolved quickly.

No matter how great the power of the Eternal Night Army Leader is, it is impossible to change the will of God, at least not now.

Whether they want it or not.

The first full-blown snow in the Swamp of Despair is here.

And it's three days at a time.

At first, it was just sleet, which melted when it landed.

The next day it began to turn into a sparse light snow, the kind that barely covered the ground.

On the third day, it became a heavy snowfall, and it only fell for half a day, and the inside and outside of Brother Port were covered with a layer of heavy snow one foot thick.

Those crocodile clan elders couldn't help but scold.

In their words, this is definitely a heavy snow that has not been encountered in a hundred years in the Swamp of Despair, and even if it has snowed before, it can cover the ground, which is very remarkable.

Eighty percent of the weather is caused by the abnormal weather caused by the weather changes in the Desperate Swamp in the past few years, which is considered the luck of the Kingsley family.

The snow is not cold, the snow is cold.

When the snow stops and the sun comes out, it's time for the real cold to come.

However, Akmesser did not wait for the coldest hour to arrive, and after making sure that the Danube had formed a thin layer of ice, the Kingsley family launched an all-out attack.

In the real sense of the whole line, the long defense line of the brother port city was full of their figures, and in the white snow, they were like a flood.

When the snow did not stop, the Eternal Night Commander was fully mobilized and waited for the Kingsley family to attack in full force.

The first to start attacking was the siege equipment of both sides.

"All the big trebuchets are ready, put on the black powder keg, put!"

"All the big trebuchets are ready, put on the black powder keg, put!"

"All the big trebuchets are ready, put on the black powder keg, put!"

The orders on the walls of the brother port, in unison.

Countless special ammunition took to the air.

The goal is clear.

The mound where the Kingsley family installed siege equipment.

Boom! Boom!

In the billowing smoke, there was a loud sound of landslides and earth cracks.

"What's going on? How does it thunder on a snowy day?"

"It's not thunder, it's the attack of the Eternal Night Army, the true god is above, how can manpower do it to this extent? This is the roar of the true god, the true god is angry, the eternal night army leader is blessed by the true god, there is no way to fight this battle, let's find a way to escape!"

"Shut up, you are disturbing the morale of the army, and if you talk nonsense, you will be dragged out and beheaded. ”

"The Andes are out-and-out savages, and the Holy See doesn't even bother to send missionaries, even if the true God comes, it's on our side. ”

"It's not the wrath of the true gods, what was it just now?"

"How do I know what it is? Surely it is not the wrath of the true God!"

"It's not good, the mound where we installed the siege equipment has collapsed, and most of the siege equipment has been destroyed. ”

"Hell, how can you storm a city without the cover of long-range siege equipment?"

Heaven and earth seemed to tremble, this extraordinary explosion sound, so that the siege soldiers of the Kingsley family, a burst of people turned on their backs, couldn't help but stop, a burst of look at each other, this kind of attack even the mound was shaken, if it fell on people, what kind of scene?

Just thinking about it makes people shudder, and fear pervades their hearts.

"The one who attacked our grain line earlier was indeed the Eternal Night Commander. This was Grand Duke Barker's first reaction when he heard the familiar sound.

For this loud noise, he will never forget, if it weren't for the ancient artifact Golden Armor, he would have been blown into a pile of minced meat, and all his plans and dreams would have come to naught.

"These guys even have a hand. This was Akmaiser's first reaction.

For the sake of safety, when Akmesser set up the siege equipment mound, he retreated a few dozen meters beyond the maximum range shown by the Eternal Night Army Leader to prevent fraud.

In the end, he still underestimated the cunning and forbearance of the Eternal Night Leader.

It is better to endure the indiscriminate bombardment of the Kingsley family for more than half a month, and the precarious destruction of several sections of the city wall, and hold back until they launch an attack on all fronts, and then launch a deadly attack on their siege engines.

The Kingsley family was not given time to react at all, and the commander of the Eternal Night Army returned the bombardment that he had suffered during this time to the Kingsley family intact.

In less than an hour, eighty percent of the Kingsley family's siege equipment was destroyed, and the mound platform they had piled up with time and effort was also blown off four or five meters.

Even if the Kingsley family still had spare siege equipment, there was no way to use it in a short period of time.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive situation has once again changed to what it was at the beginning.

The Kingsley family has almost zero long-range firepower, and must withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Eternal Night Commander and rush towards the city wall.

The only good news was that the moat of Brother Port had frozen due to the relatively slow current, and the fleet led by the Eternal Night Army could not enter, and they had one less line of defense to overcome.

"Report to the marshal, our trebuchets have been destroyed and can no longer provide long-range support. ”

"Rush to repair overnight, set up protective barriers, and bring new siege equipment up. ”

"Report to the marshal, the enemy's long-range fire is too fierce, and the soldiers in front have suffered heavy casualties and cannot rush forward. ”

"Rush again. ”

Akmaiser grimaced with a cold face, and had no intention of stopping the siege.

If you want to take advantage of the time, you have to race against time.

Who knows when the next cold will be after this heavy snowfall?

What if after these few days, the rest is a warm winter?

The Kingsleys don't have time to stay up here for another year.

Now the fight is for the past few days, and the dead and wounded can no longer be taken care of.

The Kingsley family soldiers were like a tide, wave after wave, shooting towards Brother Harbor.

Boulders and arrows are flying all over the sky.

Shouting and screaming in unison.

Blood and corpses were everywhere.

A kilometer outside the walls of Port Brother became a living hell.

At first, the siege team of the Kingsley family couldn't even touch the walls of Brother Harbor, and then approached little by little, until now there are soldiers who are not afraid of death, and they have to use the melee troops to defend the city.

It's not that the soldiers of the Kingsley family have suddenly become stronger, but the soldiers of the Eternal Night Army and the allied army of the crocodile people have all been rotated, and the people are sleepy and tired, and the frequency of firing bows is obviously not as high as before.

Many soldiers, even with the help of bow and arrow wrenches, still collapsed with blood because of the frequent pulling of strings.

Even the bowstring ropes of the fortified instruments, which are known for their stability and reliability, have been changed several times.

In other words, they are now tired of killing people.

But imagine how frequent the Kingsley family's attacks were, and how horrific the number of corpses piled up beneath the city.

The Kingsley family is now using wheel tactics to maximize their numerical superiority.

"Kill!"

After a short rest, the Kingsley family army once again slaughtered in a mighty manner.

This time, not only more siege equipment was used, but a large number of armored soldiers were mixed in with the many cannon fodder, and the regular army of the Kingsley family was dispatched.

"It's time. Dicron bowed his head at Sean.

Sean nodded knowingly, and said to the herald: "Inform the generals to activate the first set of defense plans." ”

As the order was handed down, the beacon fire rose.

Black powder kegs were thrown from the city, but instead of smashing people, they were thrown directly into the moat.

With a loud bang.

Water splashes.

The ice of the moat, which I don't know how many feet it had been stepped on, shattered and turned into a man-eating monster, and the Kingsley soldiers who were running on it were directly swallowed by it.

Those who don't have armor are better to say, they can still climb up after struggling.

If you are wearing armor, the thicker the armor you wear, the lower the chance of climbing up.

In this kind of weather, once you stay in it for too long, there is only one result, and you will be frozen to death.

The worst thing is that the ice that was blown up was not so completely broken, and it quickly recohesed, making it more difficult for them to climb up.

The Eternal Night Commander had already calculated in advance that the Kingsley family would take advantage of the moat to freeze and launch an attack on all fronts, so how could he not prepare early?

The first defense plan of the Eternal Night Army Leader is obviously not as simple as blowing up the river.

Then barrels and barrels of black fire oil were poured down from the city, and torches were thrown down.

The more than ten meters below the city wall was turned into a sea of fire.

Whether it was the siege tower that the Kingsley family had managed to push up, or the crash, the corpses of both sides, all of them became accelerants in the sea of fire at this moment, and they squeaked and burned.

Even if Akmaiser was not happy, in this case, he could only stop the attack and wait for the fire to be extinguished and the moat to freeze again.

The Eternal Night Leader took the opportunity to rest against time.

The number of allied forces between the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Crocodile is not small, including one pack, it has exceeded 100,000.

However, the city wall that cannot stand Brother Port is large, and the area that needs to be defended is large, and at least 30,000 people must be guaranteed on the city wall for each rotation.

War is no ordinary job, and it can be carried out in three shifts.

After two or three hours of support on it, the defending soldiers will enter a period of exhaustion and will have to be rotated, and only in this way can they recover as soon as possible and remain above the normal line at all times.

This is still their absolute advantage in range, and when melee combat occurs less, if there are a large number of hand-to-hand combat, it is easier to get tired, rotate more frequently, and it is more difficult to recover.

The Kingsleys were no better, taking turns attacking, not only exhausting their siege troops, but also suffering heavy casualties.

In less than a day, more than 20,000 siege troops fell forever and could no longer get up.

Fortunately, the siege battle was different from the previous bloody battle of Wuyin Lake and the landing on the beach, although the Kingsley family was in an offensive position at that time, the situation was too urgent, and they could not attack with all their might, and the upper hand used the most elite part of themselves, racing against time.

And this time, from beginning to end, all cannon fodder was used, whether it was the crocodile people who were driven away, or the mercenaries, or the mining slaves.

Among the last wave of siege troops, the armored soldiers were not the most elite hoplites of the Kingsley family, but mercenaries and simply armed mine slaves.

There is only one purpose, and that is to drag down the Eternal Night Commander and prepare for a full-scale attack.

The rest time left by the Kingsley family for the Eternal Night Army Leader was not long, only three or four hours, the fire under the city walls was slightly extinguished, the moat was frozen again, and the siege army was once again pressed up.

It's really a continuous rotation, 25 hours a day.

Don't drag the Eternal Night Army Leader to wear, and vow not to give up.

After three days and three nights of fierce fighting.

Both the defender and the attacker are exhausted.

The arrows became sparse and abnormal, and only the city-defending equipment occasionally wielded.

This time, it wasn't just the archers' fatigue, but the lack of arrows.

In just three days and three nights, the Eternal Night Army has shot out more than five million arrows of various types, and if they are stacked together, they can be piled up into several mountains.

The walls were filled with arrows, like a low bush.

The Eternal Night Commander had no way to count the number of Kingsley casualties, and there were several layers of corpses stacked outside.

There are both natural and man-made.

These corpses stacked on top of each other, frozen like stones, are natural shelters, and large trebuchets will certainly not be able to prevent them, but there is no problem in preventing those scattered stones and arrows.

Besides, those boulders thrown by large trebuchets must be unstoppable, even with a car shield.

If you are directly hit by them, you can only say that you are possessed by a moldy god, and you will definitely die.

"Breaking the city or not, right now. ”

Akmaiser appeared in front of the battle on his warhorse, and unlike before, this time he was wearing a golden armor.

The Kingsley family's ancient artifact, the Golden Armor, is dispatched.

A group of 10,000 Kingsley soldiers, dressed in simple leather armor and like a galloping horse, rushed towards Brother Harbor.

This team of 10,000 people who suddenly rushed out, although the armor on their bodies was simple, it was obviously not cannon fodder like mercenaries or mine slaves.

Not only the problem of mental outlook, but also the indomitable momentum and the physical fitness of running at high speed are not ordinary cannon fodder.

This is an elite army of knights and knights.

"Hell!"

Even if he had given the Eternal Night Soldiers and the Crocodile Soldiers a preventive shot and done a good job of psychological construction before this, when he saw the situation in front of him, he was still dumbfounded and almost forgot to attack.

The situation in front of me is a bit like Sean's aerial bombardment of Grand Duke Buck again, but from one person, to a whole army.

These charging Kingsley soldiers were covered with a layer of pale yellow energy armor visible to the naked eye.

This pale yellow energy armor was eighty percent similar to the golden armor, but it was very thin, like a golden bell, enveloping each of their soldiers' bodies.

Arrows that fall on them will be bounced off by this layer of energy armor.

More precisely, unloaded like an unloading force, slipping off their side.

However, compared to the energy shield of Grand Duke Buck, who can face the black powder cluster bomb, the difference between these soldiers is not half a star.

Not to mention the frontal impact of black powder, even the scattered bullets of ordinary trebuchets cannot be avoided, and at best they can reduce part of the impact force.

What can be fatal becomes a serious injury, and what can be seriously injured becomes a moderate or low degree injury.

In game jargon, proper damage reduction.

If you put aside the shock, you will find out if you look closely.

These pale yellow energy armors are not so demonic.

If you are hit by one arrow, you can bounce off, and if you are unlucky enough to be hit by four or five arrows at the same time, you will inevitably be seriously injured or killed.

And according to the law of conservation of energy, they should all consume the magic energy of the golden armor, and the more they hit, the faster the magic energy of the golden armor will be consumed.

When the energy of the Golden Armor is depleted, it will also be the moment when the energy shield disappears.

Sean, who suddenly had this kind of enlightenment in his heart, said in a deep voice: "Full fire!"

With the earth-shattering war drums, the Eternal Night Leader no longer has anything to hide at this moment.

An overwhelming array of arrows.

A siege crossbow that shoots like crazy.

Trebuchets of all sizes, including the cloud catapults that could be turned, were all turned around.

Rolling wood and stones, not to mention, all that could be smashed down, including the black fire oil that had been cherished and used, soon there was a billowing fire under the city wall, and thick smoke floated up.

With a loud bang, the ice surface of the moat was blasted open again.

Even so, it still couldn't stop these Kingsley family soldiers from attacking.

They are dead men in the truest sense of the word.

In their eyes, there is only one goal, and that is to take the brother port, and life and death are no longer of much concern to them.

The ladders were the only siege tools they carried, and they never forgot to carry them during the high-speed charge.

These ladders were not only used to climb the city walls, but also to cross the moat.

A few ladders are laid there, and they will run at high speed.

Hit the city wall, and they were like apes, and it only took three to five seconds for them to rush to the top of the city.

They were literally rushing up to the city with flames, baring their teeth and screaming strangely, and many of them were still burning with blazing fire, like a demon in a famous fire.

Obviously, in the process of rushing through the sea of fire, they were contaminated with black fire oil, attached to the energy shield, and burned with it.

However, the isolation effect of this energy shield can only prevent the fire oil from being sprinkled directly on them, and the heat insulation effect is not so strong.

Their hideous appearance is not exactly pretended, but roasted by the heat.

The moment they jumped on the wall, the burnt flavor of the protein was even stronger, and it was estimated that it was almost half-ripe.

At this time, they still did not forget their goal, and that will was absolutely earth-shattering, and the momentum was very terrifying.

If they were facing an ordinary city defense team, they might have already relied on this momentum to break the opponent to pieces.

But their opponent this time is the Eternal Night Army Leader, the main army of the Eternal Night Army Leader, and their will alone is not inferior to them.
