Chapter 257: The Eternal Night Army Leads a Seven-Day Tour
"Elder Webb, I advise you not to do stupid things, I am a very cautious, very careful, very cherished person who cherishes his life, since I dare to stand here, it means that I am fully prepared, do not believe it, take a closer look at the mountains on both sides. ”
Webb forced his temperament to look at the mountains on both sides.
The mountains on both sides of the Danube River are not high, they are not short, they can barely observe the situation above with the naked eye, only to see the figures above, the cold light flickering, if they dare to have abnormal movements, the other party only needs an order, and they will be greeted by a torrential rain - formed by sharp arrows.
However, what made Webber's body cold the most was the behemoths that had been wound, although he had never seen real objects before, but it did not prevent him from calling their names in the first place - large trebuchets.
Even from thousands of meters away, the outlines can be clearly distinguished, which shows how large they really are.
There are as many as twenty of them visible to the naked eye alone, not to mention those hidden in the shadows.
The entire fleet of crocodiles is within the range of the opponent's bombardment.
Without their knowledge, the source of the Danube River has been turned into an iron barrel by the Eternal Night Army, and even if the crocodile people have an army of 100,000, they will not want to attack the Andes Mountains from here.
On the first official contact, the Eternal Night Leader gave the crocodile elders present a solid dismount, which was very impressive.
Webber is worthy of being an old fox who has been cultivating for many years, and his face changes faster than tricks, and he said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency is really joking, I just didn't expect Your Excellency to be so young, since Your Excellency personally invited, if we still refuse, it would be rude to lean the boat over." ”
"Put the soft ladder. ”
The soldiers on the boat were busy for a while, and after fixing the opponent's warship with ropes, they threw down the soft ladders made of ropes.
The difference in the height of the ships on both sides is so great that there is simply no way to put the ship's board.
Weber was the most decisive, and was the first to climb up the soft ladder, and asked casually, "Your Excellency, how did you know my name?"
This person is also careful, and he has seized the loophole in Sean's title, and after the Andis messenger Brann entered Lausander, he was detained by him in the name of convening a council of elders, and he has always been in his sight, but he has no chance to deliver the news to the Eternal Night Lord.
Sean said with an unfathomable smile on his face: "Elder Webb, we have already met with each other, I have met the elders, and the elders have no idea about me." ”
After saying that, he continued to beckon the other elders.
Only Webb was left confused, what does it mean that we have already taken pictures, I see you, you don't see me?
This sentence exudes a smell of thoughtful and terrifying from the inside out.
But soon Webb didn't have time to think about it, because something more shocking caught his eye.
After Sean invited the eleven crocodile elders upstairs to the boat, he took them directly to the top floor, where a huge solid wood table had already been set up, and it was filled with all kinds of food.
Swimming in the water, flying in the sky, running on the road, meat and vegetarian matching, color, fragrance and fragrance, far away, fragrant.
Many of them, even the elders of the crocodile clan, had never heard of it.
Obviously, the other party has been prepared for a long time, and their every move is under the calculation and monitoring of the other party.
Even those crocodile elders who are not greedy for appetite, after tasting it, they can't stop talking.
As for whether the other party would poison it, it was not within their scope at all, and the moment they stepped on this strange ship, their life and death were no longer under their control, even if there was a mastery-level warlock, a champion knight, and three grand knights among them.
Because the Andes were even more ferocious, a double powerhouse and four champion knights followed the young lord without leaving an inch, and he was also a great knight himself.
Although they knew that the other party had the element of showing off their strength and giving them power, it still made them frightened, this Andean force that they had never heard of before, was far more terrifying than they imagined.
Compared with the food, the things next to the side of the boat, which are covered with oilcloth, attract their attention more.
If it weren't for the tarpaulin, their curiosity might have been lightened, but now they had the feeling that the beauties were half-covered, and they wanted to see their faces.
One thing is certain, they must be instruments of war, and judging by the outline, they should be of the kind of ballista.
If you count it carefully, the number is a bit scary, there are eighteen cars on the left and right sides, and even six cars in the front and rear.
There was a small trebuchet more than two people high in the bow and stern of the ship, which was not even covered with an oilcloth, and poked there brightly.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg, don't forget, this building ship has four floors, and the equipment in other places, even if it's the same as here, makes people's scalps tingle.
Where is this a ship, it is simply a mobile war fortress.
With the small sampan of the crocodile people, even if it is a siege of hundreds, it is the life of the food delivery.
Because these large war machines are enough to penetrate their warships.
If they rejected the offer of the Eternal Night Warlord, and the other side invaded in a big way, what would they do to stop this giant on the river?
When you think of it, even the most delicious food tastes like chewing wax.
Compared to this, the rope bridge overhead and the half-protruding arrow tower are trivial.
They now don't even have the confidence to resist the first wave of the opponent's attack, let alone counterattack.
Compared to the Jacob River, which has hundreds of kilometers of river channels in the Andes Mountains, even if the Twin Cities are lost, the Eternal Night Army Leader has enough strategic depth.
The Danube River is different, and these few kilometers are related to the Andes Mountains, and after entering, it is the inland lake of Andes, the hinterland of the Eternal Night Army.
It can be said that these few kilometers are the last gateway of the Eternal Night Army on the Danube River, and naturally they attach great importance to it, and before the Jacob River has reflowed, they have taken advantage of the ultra-high water level of the Andes Inland Lake to build a large number of fortifications.
After the water level comes down, it will be further refined, this is a typical three-dimensional defense mode, what they see with the naked eye is only the tip of the iceberg, and they don't know which unlucky ghost will trigger it in the future, let them taste the taste of the Death Waterway.
The water level of the Andes Inland Lake has subsided significantly, but the water level is still a bit high compared to the Danube River, so the current of this Death Waterway is still very fast, but fortunately, the volume of the Rock is large enough, and it is against the current, although the speed is not fast, but it is steady, even if you are feasting on the top floor, you can't feel too obvious shaking.
Sean vigorously persuaded him to drink and eat, and never said anything about the Eternal Night Army's intention to annex the crocodile.
Because he knows that everything is empty now, and only after showing his strength will the other party seriously consider this proposal.
The Rock sailed all the way upstream, accompanied by the crisp sound of bells on both sides, and when it sailed out of the Death Channel, it was several bells in unison.
The entire Andes inland lake has changed from extremely static to extremely dynamic.
A huge fleet of hundreds of assault warships rushed towards them at a uniform slogan.
The appearance of this fleet is very neat, the commander obviously has a lot of obsessive-compulsive disorder, the fleet is arranged in a ladder according to the size, the front is small and the back is large, neat and uniform, and the speed can be consistent during the charge, horizontal and vertical.
Standing on the top floor of the Rock, condescending, the vast momentum is felt more clearly, and perhaps only the galloping of thousands of troops and horses on land can be placed alongside it.
With the sound of bells and complex flags, the fleet moved, sometimes in a zigzag, sometimes in a herringbone, sometimes in a shape, and then like a long snake winding forward, and then into a huge tortoise formation.
Especially when it was arranged in a turtle formation, those assault warships had already arrived around the Rock, and they were arranged around it.
Being in the middle of it gives you the feeling of seeing the big picture.
This is still a fleet, just like a human arm, nimble and unspoken.
Compared to the other team, the army of the crocodiles blocked on the Danube is an out-and-out rabble.
The other party does not need to use other means at all, only needs to line up in the initial charging formation, and rush all the way, and the fleet of the crocodile people will be crushed to pieces.
What's more, their long-range firepower is really not weak, and the last time is a rain of arrows, countless sharp arrows are like overwhelming locusts, with a sharp roar, smashing into the target ship hundreds of meters away.
The arrows are so dense that when they rise into the air, they can't see the sky, and when they fall, many arrows have no place to insert themselves, and they are stuck in the front arrows.
Both the number and the range made the eleven crocodile elders gasp.
Although they knew that this was the Eternal Night Army leader showing off their strength to them, they were indeed shocked.
Sean said very modestly: "Our navy has just been established for a few years, both equipment and training, it is very insufficient, in front of the elders, according to the production capacity of our military leader, in two to three years, it is not difficult to create a similar navy, unfortunately, most of our Andis people are not good at water." ”
That's what you say.
It's called a lack of equipment and training, what are they crocodiles called? A bunch of rags? They have lived to dogs all these years?
What does it mean that the Andis people are not good at water? We crocodile people pour good water, which means that we can make up for this shortage?
These crocodile elders are all battle-hardened old foxes, and no one answers Sean's words at all.
They admit that in just half a day, the Eternal Night Commander has indeed brought them a lot of shock and shock, but it is far from the extent that it has completely defeated their psychological defenses.
No matter what they say, the crocodile people have been inherited in the Swamp of Despair for hundreds of years, and it is not a problem for all the races of the Council of Elders to unite and squeeze out 100,000 combatable soldiers.
The crocodiles have never lacked courage, especially when it comes to defending their homeland, and when they are in a hurry, they will tear their enemies to shreds, even if they gnaw with their teeth.
Shaun was unimpressed by the reaction of the Crocodile Elders, and the Rock circled around Andes Inland Lake in a regular manner, and the first stop was the resurfaced ruin fortress group.
And Sean acted as a guide for them, and said slowly, "This is our common ancestor, the ancient Andis Empire left us a precious treasure, this wild and practical architectural style, now rare, from them, we can fully feel the strength of our ancestors, unfortunately, the ruling class at that time went the wrong way, for which to pay a heavy price." ”
"These forts were the last line of defense against the barbarians on the Kentana Icefield, and now that they don't have the natural danger of the above-ground lake, they must regain that responsibility. ”
Sean just took them on the boat and watched from a distance, without the slightest intention of inviting them to get off the ship for a closer inspection, and some of the explanations were even half-truthful.
This is the first stop, in addition to using its historical background to bring the two sides closer, but also to give them a taste of the unique labor style of the Eternal Night Leader.
This is a huge construction site, and tens of thousands of people are sweating and repairing it, which is completely different from the force of the fleet.
There were no whips, and there weren't too many overseers.
Some are just loud, concerted efforts and enthusiastic enthusiasm for work.
The reasonable reward and punishment system of the Eternal Night Army Leader stimulates the labor enthusiasm of every leader, they are not simply working for the Eternal Night Army Leader, they are working hard for their own better tomorrow, naturally there are no cheaters and tricksters, even if there are, they will not stay in such a group for a long time, either change or be kicked out directly.
Once this kind of gray label is applied, they dare not say that it is difficult for them to move in the Eternal Night Army, and they will attract countless scorns and discrimination anyway, as is the current atmosphere.
After that, the Rock walked along the shore of Andes Inland Lake, and the road was also full of work.
It is also possible that the labor scene of the ruins fortress group can be faked, but the scene here cannot be faked.
After all, the scene involved is too big, and if it is all disguised by the Eternal Night Leader, their strength will be even more terrifying.
What made the elders of the crocodile clan pay the most attention was the confidence and optimism that permeated the people of the Eternal Night, and not only did they not have the slightest fear when they saw the Rock Horn armed to the teeth, but everyone couldn't help but stop their work and wave their hands to say hello from afar.
Sean, as Lord of the Eternal Night, will also smile and wave at them in response, whether they can see it or not.
There were some children who ran wildly on the shore with the boat, shouting excitedly.
This all shows that the military-civilian relationship between the Eternal Night Army is not ordinarily good.
The elders of the crocodile clan are all rulers of various ethnic groups, and they are well aware of the difficulty involved.
Bullying is the root of human nature.
Among most ethnic groups, the relationship between the military and the civilian population is not particularly harmonious.
To be able to do this, there must be a strict system to restrain the military.
Powerful force is only one aspect of a territory, and it alone is not enough.
The Ancient Andes Empire is the best example of the opposite.
Only the integration of the military and the civilian population can make it into an iron bucket.
The more things they saw along the way, the more shocking it was to the crocodile elders, and in the end, they almost forgot the true purpose of their trip.
Behind the shock, there is a thick coldness.
Because it won't be long before they have to confront this force head-on.
The Rock always maintained an unhurried speed, passing through the waterway, starting from the Grim Reaper waterway of the Danube to the Twin Cities, turning back and forth, no more, no less, for a full seven days.
At the beginning, Sean still had something to say, knocking on the side, and when he found out that the other party was an old fox who didn't eat oil and salt, he stopped wasting saliva and concentrated on the job of a tour guide.
To be honest, in the past few years, I have been running around, either to solve this difficulty, or to deal with that tricky matter, even if it is a bumper harvest year, I am racking my brains to figure out how to expand the territory.
Sean had never calmed down, and walked around his territory in earnest.
This time, I took the opportunity to take a turn around, only to suddenly find that unconsciously, they had laid such a large piece of territory and changed the fate of so many people.
To say that you are not proud, that is false.
Eight years ago, when he chased out with a bow and arrow on his back because his village was destroyed, he didn't expect that there would be today.
And this is not the end, just the beginning.
The Swamp of Despair was their next target.
No matter what choices these people make in front of them, the pace of the Eternal Night Army Leader will not be slowed down by half a minute.
