As for the products dumped into the Swamp of Despair, there were countless of them, not only the various specialties of the Eternal Night Army, but also the products of the Prince Regent's fiefdom and Anjibena's domain, which they could not refuse.

And it is quite trouble-free, after the origin is loaded, it is directly transferred from the Jacob River to the Danube River, and it can be sold for a high price as soon as it is replaced.

Back then, the ancient Andis Empire relied on this river to firmly control most of Ashan's in its own hands.

Now it is only a partial recreation of the scene of the past.

The real pomp and circumstance is to go down the Andes Inland Lake, through the Plains of Asia Minor, into the Inland Sea of Zambia, through the Gili Strait, into the Endless Sea, along the coastline of the Silent Rainforest and the Flower Language Plateau, and then enter from the mouth of the Danube, and swim upstream, through the Despair Swamp back to the Andes Inland Lake.

And vice versa, there is basically no big terrain difference along the way, and it can be said that the road is unimpeded and a complete loop.

In other words, the circulation of goods and the prosperity of commerce in the ancient Andes Empire were far from being comparable to those of the Byronic League.

The Eternal Night Warlord still has a long way to go if he wants to recreate the grandeur of the past.

The plains of Asia Minor alone are a headache, not to mention the long coastlines of Zambia's Inland Sea, Gili Channel, and Endless Sea, which are now controlled by the Witches' Order and the Cummins fleet.

The fleet now under the control of the Eternal Night Commander can dominate the upper reaches of the Jacob River and the Danube River, and look down on the heroes, which can only be said to have a strategic advantage, but in terms of shipbuilding technology, compared with the Witch Society and the Cummins family, which have a history of development for hundreds of years, there are still great technical barriers, especially in terms of sea ships.

Not to mention going out of the river to compete with them at sea, I'm afraid that it won't be long, and when they see the benefits brought by the two rivers, I'm afraid that they will have to build river boats on a large scale and compete with the Eternal Night military leader.

Never underestimate the pursuit of profit by those lords and nobles.

In fact, just two years later, the Jacob River is not only the ships of the Eternal Night Army's family, other lords and nobles are trying their best to order ships from other places, wanting to get a piece of the pie, and the lower reaches of the Jacob River have not been completely cut off from beginning to end, and there are still all kinds of merchant and fishing boats.

It's just that their scores are too scattered, and they are not as large and organized as the Eternal Night Commanders, and they are not competitive.

But with more investment, it won't take long for this situation to be reversed.

The lords and nobles in this world are not without money, many of them have money and have nowhere to spend it, so they can only stay in their own treasure troves to get moldy, once they find the corresponding channel, the energy that bursts out is absolutely amazing.

Someone has already entrusted the princess regent to buy the merchant ship in the hands of the Eternal Night Commander, and the price is too high for them to refuse-when the value of an ordinary merchant ship reaches the sum of the value created by this ship for three years without stopping, why not sell it?

It's not their family who can build ships, and the Cummins family is staring at it in the internal sea of Zambia, estimating that the number of orders in their hands is more than in the hands of the Eternal Night Army leader.

The scale of the shipyards of the Eternal Night Army has been expanded again and again, and the second, third, and fourth branches, in the process of successive preparations, are now restricting their development is not a matter of funds, but manpower, especially shipbuilders, which is not a handful, but needs to be cultivated little by little.

Shipbuilding will be the first heavy industry on the rise of the Eternal Night Lord, which is fully expected.

The Eternal Night Army Leader did not move for a long time, but Akmesser was resolute, and after completely clearing his rear, the army was drawn out, selected 20,000 elites, formed a vanguard army, lightly armed, and ran wildly all the way, and in only two weeks, he broke through to the border between the Carthusian army and the Swamp of Despair, and took the city of Gechi with only one charge.

The reason why it went so smoothly was not only because of the strong military of the Kingsley family, but also because of the unprecedented internal friction within Geqi City, the original ruling class suffered heavy casualties, and the new ruler had not yet taken the throne.

The previous hand of Grand Duke Buck has played a role, and many forces have fallen to the Kingsley family, and it is inevitable that the city will be broken by uniting inside and outside.

At this time, the main force of the Kingsley family came belatedly and directly settled in Geqi City.

The vanguard of the Kingsley family, after a short period of repair, went out in a frenzy, pushing north and south along the border, launching a frenzied attack on the League of Criminals.

The whole process is devastating.

The other cities of the Criminals Alliance are facing the same problems as Geqi City, and the internal division is very strong.

They were able to compete with the Kingsley family at the beginning, not only because the Kingsley family was unwilling to put too much effort here, but also because of their unity.

Now there is nothing, and when the army arrives, it is also the time to break the city.

When the news was obtained, the panic of the Crocodile Elders' Council could be imagined.

After a quarter of stalemate, the council finally failed to produce a result that was not a result, and all the ethnic tribes, according to their respective strengths, contributed their efforts to form a parliamentary coalition to fight against the invaders together.

However, the ruling power of the parliamentary coalition did not fall into the hands of individuals, but elected five high elders in the council of elders to form the council of elders to rule together.

It is worth mentioning that among the five Great Elders, three of them have participated in the Eternal Night Army's seven-day tour, and it is the three Nydia, Crane and Webber that Sean valued the most at the beginning.

It was expected that the three of them would be selected, because the three of them were second to none in terms of their own abilities and ethnic power.

Akmaiser, who has entered the attack state, is another state.

When it is kept, it is impregnable.

When attacking, the storm is not much worse than Dickron.

He adheres to the concept of the speed of the soldiers, and fights the crocodile people without declaring war.

As soon as the front foot took down the League of Criminals, the back foot paid a high price to recruit mercenaries in these cities.

As I said earlier, most of the people who can fight in the League of Criminals are outlaws, and they have no concept of loyalty at all, and in their eyes, interests are above all else.

For the high-priced bounty offered by Akmaiser, the servants are like clouds, and they completely forget the hatred of breaking the city a few days ago.

In just half a month, Akmaiser spent more than 300,000 deer head gold coins to smash down a gold mountain to the letter.

Correspondingly, more than 50,000 mercenaries were organized.

Ironically, more than a tenth of these mercenaries are crocodiles.

The composition is even more varied, former gang members, exiles, miners, slave traders, etc., the small body has not fully grown, and the old one has gray hair, barely able to hold a weapon.

The combat effectiveness of such a unit can be imagined.

However, Akmesser didn't expect them to have much combat effectiveness, but used them as cannon fodder, the vanguard of the vanguard army, thrown into the desperate swamp to find the way, and by the way to test the reaction of the crocodile people.

The shadow of the name tree of man.

For so many years of the Swamp of Despair, Akmaiser would not recklessly drive his 100,000-strong army into it because of hearsay.

Otherwise, once there is a bad pool, it is a trivial matter to lose one's reputation, once the loss is too heavy, it will directly hurt the vitality of the Kingsley family, not to mention the swamp of despair, whether or not to keep the Kingsley family is still a problem.

At that time, the wealth of the Kingsley family was their original sin, attracting countless greedy eyes.

For the generals not to think about victory, first to think about defeat, in order to survive a hundred battles.

Akmaiser may not have had such a thorough aphorism as a guide, but he did.

This is exactly what the saying is true – there are reasons for failure, and there are always similarities in success.

The crocodiles didn't know that this mercenary was a showman, and when they drove into the swamp of despair, it would be like stabbing a hornet's nest.

The crocodile tribes around the border spontaneously organized themselves and launched a frenzied sniping attack on the invaders, but the effect was not ideal, and they paid a heavy price.

For the current environment of the Swamp of Despair, these crocodiles are not adaptable, and even more so than those outsiders.

Many of the terrain advantages that could have been used have completely disappeared, and the war crocodiles, which are an important part of their combat effectiveness, cannot exert their maximum power at all.

Although the Desperate Swamp War Crocodile is better at land hunting than other similar species, it is not a step worse than their performance in the water, and it is estimated that it is not even a third of the level.

Moreover, there has been a lack of food for a long time, and although there have not been mass deaths, the state is generally very poor, and the Kingsley family will wait another year or two to launch an invasion, but they are afraid that they will not even be able to get a few marsh war crocodiles that can be warned.

Then there is the disadvantage of numbers.

The combat effectiveness of these mercenaries, no matter how bad they are, is there.

Those crocodile tribes, unorganized and undisciplined, hundreds of people dare to charge with others.

Courage is commendable, but it is out-and-out brainless blood, delivering food to others in vain, and becoming the spoils of war for those mercenaries in exchange for money.

Akmeiser took the Kingsleys' wealth to the extreme, not only giving out heavy rewards before the mercenaries were promoted, but also issuing bounties to the crocodiles.

Regardless of men, women, young and old, the living, the dead, the soldiers, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as long as they could be brought out of the swamp of despair, the Kingsley family paid on the spot.

In order to prove the truth of his words, Akmaiser revealed another mountain of gold on the spot.

Boxes of gold and silver coins dazzled the eyes of those mercenaries, and they were panting like oxen, if it weren't for the elite knights of the Kingsley family who were armed to the teeth at that time, they would have the heart to grab it on the spot.

The Kingsley family's promise of the Byron Union was not blown out, but smashed with real gold coins.

To describe it in the words of a local tyrant, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem, if the money can't be solved, it can only mean that the money smashed is not enough, and then add a mountain of gold to try.

From this policy, it can be seen that the Kingsley family contains a strong malice towards the crocodiles, which is an out-and-out extermination policy, and they want to completely monopolize the Swamp of Despair.

The moral bottom line of these mixed mercenaries is not very high, and now it is directly shattered by money.

After they entered the swamp of despair, they were like devils entering the village, with a proper three-light policy - robbing, killing, and burning.

The relationship between the Kingsley family and the crocodile people has slipped to a low point and become completely irreconcilable.

At first, those mercenaries were still a little cautious.

When I entered it, I found that the situation in the Swamp of Despair was even more serious than I imagined, and the natural dangers that I once relied on were not there, and most of the villages and towns were like naked girls, lying there naked.

After robbing more than a dozen villages and towns in a row, there were more monks and less meat, and the spoils of war were not enough to divide at all, and there were internal divisions and conflicts.

Akmaiser, who was sitting in the back, just watched coldly and didn't care at all.

In his eyes, this mercenary is used to scare snakes, of course, the larger the area, the better, and he will be able to observe more comprehensively when the time comes.

As for life and death, he didn't worry about it at all, even if he was all dead, he would be happy to save a sum of money on the spoils of war!

Soon this motley mercenary army was reckless and paid a heavy price.

The vanguard of the combined army of the crocodiles arrived, albeit a little late, but still came.

The number of crocodile vanguard troops is actually not very large, only more than 30,000, and if the mercenaries do not divide their own troops, they may still have the strength to fight.

Now it has become a typical local way to fight more and less, and when three detachments of three or four thousand people are eaten in a row, the other detachments will realize that they want to reunite, and they are also powerless.

Not only because of the backward means of communication, but also because of the geographical environment.

The Swamp of Despair is not as dangerous as it once was, but the geography is still very complex, and many places must be avoided far away.

The scattered detachments of mercenaries may only be twenty or thirty kilometers away in a straight line, but if they really walk, they may have to make a detour of hundreds of kilometers.

Needless to say, the rest of the situation will not be mentioned.

These mercenaries are not even a serious army at all, there is no problem in fighting a good fight, robbing and plundering, and when they encounter a hard idea, there is only a way to rout.

When you enter, the momentum is like a rainbow.

When they were defeated, they were like lost dogs, and many of them rushed headlong into the Jedi, and many of them were not swallowed up by the dry mud swamp.

Those mud swamps with only a layer of skin can not withstand indiscriminate trampling, and when they turn over, they swallow a group of people into it, and the more they struggle, the faster they die.

Of the 50,000 mercenaries, less than 10,000 escaped alive.

But in Akmaiser's eyes, they had done their job perfectly, not only getting a little clear of the situation in the Swamp of Despair, but also introducing the opposing vanguard into their pocket formation.

While the mercenaries were scouting the way ahead, Akmaiser was not idle, and split two vanguard armies to flank the mercenaries who had attracted most of the crocodile's attention.

As soon as the mercenary is defeated, as soon as he retracts it, it becomes a perfect pocket.

Mercenaries are not only pathfinder cannon fodder, but also bait thrown out.

After trapping the vanguard of the crocodile, Akmesser did not immediately work together to destroy them, but moved forward layer by layer, firmly blocking their way back.

"Akmaiser is preparing to catch a big fish and wants to fight in a familiar environment, which is a very smart approach. Sean exclaimed heartily.

Judging from his previous combat examples, this person really likes to use the right and not the odd, likes to defend rather than attack, and prefers to guide the enemy to attack himself, and then defend and counterattack. A military staff chief said with a straight analysis.

"What do you do analyzing his battle examples?What do you think of his old rival here, General Dicklon?" McGee, the Skullcrusher, raised his voice to draw everyone's attention to the only outsider in the war room who wasn't an outsider.

Saying that he is not an outsider is because from the current situation, it is almost a sure thing that he will join the Eternal Night Army.

However, it has been a month since the Eternal Night Commander brought him from the Carthusian Commander, except that at the beginning Sean had a long talk with him for three days, and then he fell silent, and did not say a word about joining the Eternal Night Commander and swearing allegiance to Sean.

Sean seems to have forgotten about it, too.

However, the Eternal Night Army led military meetings of all sizes, but he was not forbidden to participate.

This made many people murmur in their hearts, speculating whether Sean had other more important arrangements for him.

As for Dickron's ability to attend the Eternal Night Commander's military council, no one objected.

Dicklon's achievements in recent years are not only obvious to all, but also happen under their noses, many classic war examples, are about to be studied by the military staff and regarded as classic textbooks, many young military staff officers, looking at him is like looking at idols.
