Chapter 399: Tower Defense

Even the undead soldiers of the Crane tribe may be spared as long as they are within ten meters of the explosion, and even if they are ten meters away, they will be damaged by shockwaves and fire splashes, and soon the entire battlefield will be reflected in daylight.

Then came an even more terrifying roar.

The Sky Trebuchet is starting to wield its might.

Although they threw stone bullets, they were also carefully polished stone bullets, each weighing more than 300 kilograms.

Each time it hits the ground, it emits a roar not inferior to that of a black powder keg exploding.

If you accidentally place yourself on its landing spot, let alone an ordinary undead soldier, even a skeleton armored knight will be smashed into a pulp on the spot.

However, this probability is very small, whether it is a big knight or a champion knight, their physical body is indeed stronger than ordinary people, but there is also a limit, there is no way to resist non-human equipment, they are the most powerful compared to ordinary people, it should be their keen reaction nerves, can detect this danger for the first time, and dodge.

The same is true of the Skeleton Knights, who possess a sturdier bone armor and more terrifying power than ordinary undead soldiers, as well as combat skills that they do not possess.

The stone bullets landed in the air, enough for them to dodge.

The stone bullets thrown by the cloud catapult are not finished after landing, but roll forward in a bouncing way, and the lethality is also good.

In the end, it was the blade throwing cart tailored for the undead soldiers, the crazy rotating triangular rotating blade, like a life harvester, where it passed, the severed limbs flew sideways, and the undead soldiers fell in pieces.

The Kingsley family soldiers who witnessed this situation were dumbfounded, similar to the exclamation of the slumber, endlessly.

The visual impact caused by this murderous city defense equipment is far above the cloud catapult.

In addition to the loud cheers, their hearts were irrepressibly shivering and glad that when they attacked Brother Harbor, the Eternal Night Commander did not push out such a frenzied defense device, otherwise they would have become harvested humanoid wheat.

This mixed emotion echoed in the hearts of the Kingsley soldiers at the first moment of the battle, and the more they understood the power of these defense equipment, the less courageous they were to fight against the Eternal Night Leader.

The use of the equipment to defend the city by the Eternal Night Commander has reached an unimaginable level, not only in terms of power, but also in terms of convenience.

It took them hours and weeks to build several siege machines, and they only needed to ship a bunch of parts to assemble one in less than half a day.

This disparity is the most frightening.

Under the saturation coverage of various ranged attacks, the undead soldiers who can rush to the bottom of the city walls are sparse, not even two-thirds of the first two-thirds, and many of them are still missing arms and legs.

Even if it is in good condition, there is nothing to be done in the face of the city wall six or seven meters high, and one by one they can only gather under the city wall in a daze, waiting for the follow-up large army to come up and take the ladder.

"Smash!"

The Kingsley soldiers defending the city would not let go of this excellent opportunity, and they all smashed down the rocks.

The outstanding results achieved by the equipment defending the city in front greatly boosted their morale.

It gives them the illusion that these guys look scary, but they are nothing more than that.

This illusion is advantageous at least until the formal face-to-face.

"Hell, are these guys humans, or ants, actually attacking the city this way!"

"Don't be stupid and push them down. ”

"Black powder kegs, blow them up with black powder kegs. ”

"Ahhh......h These guys really can't be killed!"

"Fools, I've told you all, their key points are in the head and heart, and attacking other places has no effect!"

"Black powder keg, what about black powder keg, hurry up and blow up the human ladder here, otherwise you won't be able to withstand it!"

It wasn't until the undead soldiers of the Klein tribe set up the human ladder that one after another undead soldiers stepped on the city wall.

Those Kingsley family soldiers truly understood the horror of these undead monsters, and also understood the reason why the Eternal Night Leader did not hesitate to give up huge profits to pull them into the game, and spared no effort to help them.

These undead soldiers without fear are killing machines, and after jumping on the city wall, there is no defense, and it is all a deadly attack.

The Kingsley family soldiers slashed him, they were still alive, they slashed the Kingsley family soldiers, and they went straight to the half-day fate.

That's right, the Eternal Night Leader had already told them that the weaknesses of these monsters were their heads and hearts.

But in the chaos of the battlefield, how easy is it to get every blow to hit the fatal point?

What's more, their fatal point is not fragile enough, just poke it to the extent that they can make them fall, and there are layers of bone armor to protect them here.

Don't underestimate these bone armor, it's not so easy to cut open the skull of an ordinary human, let alone these alien monsters.

Many attacks did hit their vital points, but they were surprised to find that their swords failed to pierce or split at all, and before they could attack the second time, the opponent's counterattack arrived, and they could kill them with a stunned effort.

Akmesser immediately sent the elite heavy infantry of the Kingsley family as a reserve to withstand it.

This is still the result of the weakening of layers of long-range siege equipment.

If you let the other party rush directly under the city wall without knowing it, you can't imagine what it will be like.

But no one still has the heart to think about it, and there is only one thought echoing in their heads - to live.

Just like the prediction of the Eternal Night Leader, the most terrifying thing about the undead soldiers of the Crane tribe is that they are the first wave of impact as the head of the wave, as long as they can resist this wave, the probability of holding the brother port will be increased to ten percent, and it is still guaranteed that ninety percent can still be guaranteed.

Their relatively simple mode of thinking makes them not play any virtual and real tactics, and they use all the troops and the maximum strength as soon as they get started.

Fifty or sixty thousand sounds not small, but on a defensive line that is four or five kilometers long, it is really not too much.

By the time the unreactive unreactive Klein tribe undead soldiers felt that the situation was wrong and were ready to concentrate their forces and attack a point, the threat they had already consumed would not exceed the first wave of full-front attacks.

Because they have concentrated their forces, the firepower of the defensive equipment of Brother Port will also be concentrated, and if there is one undead soldier in the bombardment range, it is still ten, and the power will not be greatly affected.

The Kingsleys, for their part, wanted them to concentrate their forces so that they could concentrate their firepower and wipe them out as much as possible in the attack.

This caused this Brother Port offensive and defensive battle, which was anticlimactic.

It was tragic at first, but it was very short-lived.

When the sun rises in the middle of the sky, it is basically coming to an end.

At this time, the troops of the Eternal Night Army, who had outflanked the undead army, had just been assembled, and they were tantamount to cleaning up the battlefield.

Seeing that the undead army could no longer toss the waves, the Eternal Night Commander did not drive his army into the battlefield, and they did not want to taste the power of their war equipment.

It is true that the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Kingsley family have signed an armistice agreement, which does not mean that they have no possibility of turning their faces, if they have the opportunity to severely damage the main army of the Eternal Night Army Leader, Grand Duke Buck will definitely not hesitate to tear up the agreement.

The Eternal Night Commander would never give the Kingsley family such a chance.

"Whew!" Archduke Buck, who stared at the entire offensive and defensive battle without blinking, breathed a long sigh of relief at this time.

This result is still within an acceptable range, and the number of damage to the Kingsley family's soldiers is far from touching his bottom line, which can be seen from the negotiation treaty he promised to the Eternal Night Army, as long as the Kingsley family's Eastern Army can be retained at more than 100,000, it is an acceptable figure for him.

However, the hanging heart was only half gone, and Grand Duke Buck turned his head to look at Sean and said, "Your Excellency, what we should have done has been done, is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

The Kingsley family's expedition to the East did not return to the Carthusian army for a day, and his heart could not completely fall for a day.

"Naturally. Sean, who had fulfilled his wishes, was also in a good mood, "Our troop carrier will be assembled in a few days, and it can transport His Excellency's army to the designated location at any time. ”

This is also one of the agreements between the two parties.

The 100,000 Kingsley family's 100,000 Eastern Army released by the Eternal Night Army Leader did not return by the same route, but was directly transferred back to the Carthusian Army Leader by the Eternal Night Army Leader through the water transportation line by troop transport.

It's the best of both worlds.

Don't worry about the Eternal Night Commander, after the Kingsley family returned to the West Bank from the Eastern Army, they couldn't stop, and new variables were born.

The Kingsley family's expedition to the East no longer has to drag on in the swamp of despair for half a year.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Grand Duke Buck only hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare, I'm afraid that I will have to trouble His Excellency the Baron to escort me all the way." ”

Negotiations with the Eternal Night Warlords are nearing completion, but it does not mean that the Kingsley family's war is over, and once the 100,000 troops return to the territory, it will also be the moment when they start a military retaliation.

The weaker they are, the more they must show their fangs, otherwise the greedy jackals will not only not return the flesh they have gnawed from the Kingsleys, but will also have to inch in and try to tear more flesh from them.

The Eternal Night Army Leader transports troops through the Jacob River, which is indeed absolutely convenient, and if it is well planned, it can even have a surprise effect.

"I will be happy to serve you, Your Excellency. "Sean didn't have a prejudice against Grand Duke Buck just because the two sides had faced each other.

Sitting in their position, personal senses and military interests are torn apart.

The conflict between the Kingsley family and the Eternal Night Warlord is not due to personal grudges, but to a conflict of interest.

Now that the conflict of interest is over for the time being, in Sean's eyes, Grand Duke Buck has immediately turned into a potential big customer.

On the way back, Sean spares no effort to sell Grand Duke Buck a variety of merchandise from the Eternal Night Army, including those large siege engines.

In this world, there is no product that cannot be sold.

If the other party is unwilling to sell, it can only be said that the price is not enough.

Not to mention, the Eternal Night Army Leader does have a commodity in his hands that Grand Duke Buck fancies.

One is a blade cart, and the other is black powder.

Needless to say, the lethality of the former is not to mention, even those undead monsters can't bear it, let alone people.

But what really makes Grand Duke Buck excited is its visual impact effect, which has an unimaginable deterrent effect on those recruits who are not strong enough to resist.

Not to mention black powder, this is not only a weapon of war, but also a weapon of mining, if Archduke Buck does not see this, then he has been the ruler of the Carthusian army for so many years.

Once properly utilized, it will double the number of mines opened by the Kingsley family every year.

Sean nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Although the blade car is full of black technology, but this is only a temporary model that was pushed out in a hurry, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the middle, Grand Duke Buck is willing to take over, so he naturally wants to take the opportunity to make a profit, as long as the steel ordered from the Kingsley family returns, they can build as much as they want.

That's right, the reason why Sean is so refreshing is naturally not for nothing, it is because he used it as a stepping stone to open the metal trade with the Kingsley family.

Food and metal have always been the two most scarce materials for the Eternal Night Commander.

In terms of food, Princess Regent Sophia has always been supported, and in terms of metal, she is powerless, and the Lancelot royal family mainly relies on the Kingsley family.

On the frontier of the frontier city of Despair Swamp and the Carthusian Army, there are also many mineral deposits.

But like the swamp of despair, it will take time to develop them, and until then, imports will be needed.

Of course, the Kingsley family is the best seller, the two sides were hostile before, you didn't sell, now there is no reason, right?

If it were possible, Grand Duke Buck would be tempted to slow down their growth with the neck of the Metal Trade Cayon Night Leader.

But Sean threw out the temptation, he couldn't refuse, the Kingsley family is now in dire need of this new weapon to restore their strength.

Compared to the trading volume of black powder, the blade car is just an addition.

In the mouths of Sean and Grand Duke Barker, the amount of black powder and metal is measured in hundreds of tons, and the astronomical amount involved is only a lot more than the agreement they just signed.

Sophia, the regent who accompanied her, also hitchhiked, and after ordering a batch of blade carts from Sean, she turned around and restarted the grain trade with Grand Duke Buck, giving her an unprecedented preferential price.

The Lancelot royal family did not want the Kingsley family to expand any further, nor did they want him to be too weak to affect metal production.

By the time the ship sailed out of the territory of the Eternal Night Army, the atmosphere between the three of them had eased a lot, and they couldn't talk about happiness, but they could also drink and talk.

When there are greater interests as the premise, some trivial small interests, then it is not in the eye.

For example, the weapons and armor of the Kingsley family's 100,000-strong army.

According to the original plan, even if the Eternal Night Commander didn't take them all down, he would have to intercept three to fifty percent.

Now that the Kingsley family has released their metal supply to the Eternal Night Lord, there is no need to do this anymore.

Although the Eternal Night Commander is not rich in iron ore, but in terms of iron smelting, I am afraid that they are already ahead of the Kingsley family, because of Sean's foresight, the Eternal Night Commander has just had a little foundation, and they have begun to try steelmaking, and after nearly ten years of continuous experiments, they have achieved remarkable results.

Modern steelmaking still lacks the support of industrial base, but the steel frying method has matured, with the hydraulic thousand forging method, the forged weapon armor is not much worse than modern steel in terms of hardness, and even a small amount of tool steel with amazing hardness.

In terms of efficiency and output, it is far inferior to modern steelmaking.

But everything depends on the object of comparison, if compared to the Kingsley family, whether it is the efficiency or the purity of steel, the Eternal Night Warlord is an incomparably terrifying existence, breaking their three-hundred-year heritage.

In the matter of the Kingsley family's withdrawal, once the Eternal Night Army Leader actively cooperated, the progress was rapid.

Three weeks after Grand Duke Barker returned to the Carthusian command, the first 20,000 Kingsley soldiers arrived at their designated location.

With the current transportation capacity of the Eternal Night Army Leader, there is no way to transport the Kingsley family's 100,000 troops over at one time, and they will not delay their normal business activities in order to help the Kingsley family transport troops.
