And the Eternal Night Army Leader told them with practical actions that the South Gate was a huge trap, and if they wanted to attack the Eternal Night Army Leader from here, not to mention that it was only a part of the Third Fleet, even if the entire Cummins family's seven fleets came out together, it would be an impossible task.

The feeling of the people in the Eternal Night Army Leader about the war is that at most, many military construction projects have been stopped, and the main army has poured out, and the amount and frequency of materials mobilized to Brother Port have become more numerous and more frequent.

That's all.

As imagined by many forces, because of the war, the entire military leadership fell into a riot scene, which did not appear at all.

At best, the crocodiles of the Swamp of Despair caused a certain amount of chaos when they began to retreat massively into the Eternal Night Army.

But it's all under control.

First, the Eternal Night Commander has quite a lot of experience in this aspect, and all aspects are arranged quite well.

Second, this is what they have taken the initiative to guide and have been planning for a long time, and many things such as houses and basic survival materials have been prepared in advance.

To use a more modern adjective, they can move in with their bags.

Not to mention the work, the Eternal Night military leader is not bad at work now, after simple training and study, you can officially take up your post, and within half a month, your life will be on the right track in an orderly manner.

The elders of the Council of Elders of the Crocodile were rightly worried, once their people had adapted to this new life, it would be difficult for them to adapt to the ignorant way of life they had before.

As the saying goes, water flows to a lower place, and people go to a higher place.

When they see different scenery and different lifestyles at high places, the whole person's vision is different.

Even if they are dragged back to their original lives by coercive means, they have no way to continue to be obedient people, and most of them will become like those new troops, trying to change the Council of Elders, and even rise up to resist.

The Eternal Night Leader didn't seem to have made a move against the Crocodile Council of Elders, but in fact he had already taken action, and this move was called Cutting Heart.

Many forces in the Byron Alliance wanted to infiltrate their own sentinels into the Eternal Night Army, and most of them were disappointed.

They could only settle for the next best thing and set their sights on the royal capital Valesta.

Here is not only the other protagonist of this event, Archduke Buck, the supreme ruler of the Carthusian military domain.

There is also Sophilia, the regent who is most closely associated with the Eternal Night Warlord.

After observing the relationship between the two with new eyes, they had to admit that they had also looked away at this point before.

The Eternal Night Warlord may not be a vassal or supporting force of the Princess Regent, but an ally of relative equal status.

Princess Regent Sophia's rise to prominence in recent years has taken advantage of the wind of this new ally.

They want to start here and see if there's an opportunity to profit from it.

And the swamp of despair, which focused the eyes of the whole continent, fell into a brief period of calm after a series of fierce battles.

Whether it is the victor or the loser, you need to lick your wounds and recuperate.

Seriously calculated, what is left of the Swamp of Despair now, there is no loser, it is the winner.

The Cummins family's Third Fleet, which suffered the heaviest losses, has been completely wiped out.

The Kingsley family accomplished their original goal of taking Brother Port, only to be pitted by their allies.

In the battle for Brother Harbor, the Kingsley family's Eastern Army seemed to suffer heavy casualties, but in fact, their elite suffered large-scale losses after the use of gold armor.

Before that, the main force of the attack was the cannon fodder of the crocodile people collected by the Kingsley family from both sides of the Danube, followed by the mercenaries of the Criminals Alliance and the Black family, and at most the miner soldiers of the Kingsley family, the elite main force has been pressing behind.

No matter how many casualties these cannon fodder are, they will not feel distressed.

The heaviest casualties for the Kingsley family's elite were the wave of black powder traps laid by the Eternal Night Army on the walls of Brother Harbor.

The second is the chaos created by the main army's counterpush, but at that time, there was a rout between the main forces of the two sides, and there was no direct confrontation, and the casualties caused to them were not as big as imagined, and most of them were caused by the aerial bombardment of Sean himself.

In this attack on Brother Port, the Kingsley family's conquest of the Eastern Army, including the drive of cannon fodder, has been 300,000 yuan.

When the brother port was taken, it barely reached 200,000.

The Eternal Night Army Leader still inflicted nearly 100,000 casualties on them without preparing to defend to the death, and the tragedy of the ant-attached siege can be imagined.

Of the 100,000 casualties, more than eighty percent were cannon fodder, which had little impact on the main body of the Eastern Army.

According to their original plan, after the Kingsley family took the brother port, the Cummins family's Third Fleet drove the main force of the Eternal Night Army back to the Andes Mountains to block the Danube, and the Kingsley family infantry took the opportunity to swallow the entire east bank of the Despair Swamp.

Now that the Third Fleet of the Cummins family is out of the game ahead of schedule, even if the Kingsley family's Eastern Army still maintains seventy or eighty percent of its combat strength, it can only honestly nest in Brother Harbor, and dare not move casually.

The Eternal Night Lords, who are entrenched in the entire Despair Swamp water transportation network, have an incomparable advantage in mobility over the Kingsley family, and once they disperse their forces, they are likely to be defeated by each of the Eternal Night Lords.

Moreover, the current situation of the Kingsley family's expedition to the Eastern Army has no way to start the war.

Their combat strength remains seventy or eighty percent, that is only theoretical data, and how much combat power there is, even its supreme commander Akmaiser does not dare to guarantee it.

Because the combat effectiveness of an army is made up of two parts.

Part of it is the physical strength of the soldiers on the bright side.

The other part is made up of the morale of the soldiers.

Compared with the former, the latter is difficult to measure with data, and it has a very important role.

The combat effectiveness of the same army, which has low morale and high morale, are two completely different things.

Now the morale of the Kingsley family's Eastern Army is at an all-time low.

The great rout of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family happened under the noses of many Kingsley soldiers, and this news could not be covered at all, and it didn't take long for the entire Eastern Army to know about it.

Even those ordinary soldiers didn't know what the Cummins Third Fleet meant to them.

The Commander of the Eternal Night will also try to make them understand.

Heart-to-heart.

The Eternal Night's Lord's favorite tactic.

"Now that the Danube River is in our hands, and all our warships are sailing on it, your grain can't be transported at all, you go and ask your superiors, how long can the grain in your hands last?"

"Surrender, you have no hope, your lord Buck has fled back to his lair like a lost dog, he has abandoned you, what reason do you have to fight for him?"

"Your only hope is to surrender, or Brother Port will be your place of death, look at the corpse pits outside the city, do you want to be a part of it?"

"The Eternal Night Commander has a generous policy, as long as you are willing to disarm and surrender, no matter how many sins you have committed in the past, you will not be guilty of the past. ”

"The Eternal Night military leader is lightly taxed, there is no compulsory levy order, and there is no poll tax, only the field tax, and those who have served in the army in the family will be reduced by at least one percent, and those who have martyrs, the tax of their immediate relatives will be permanently reduced by two percent. ”

"Those who surrender in a group, take a great credit, keep the official in their original position, the Eternal Night Commander will do his best to rescue your family, believe us, we have enough cards in our hands to make Buck and Axmesser compromise, if they dare to persecute your family, we will not let them return to the West Bank. ”

Whether it is on the Danube or the Bashu River, all that reverberates is the heart-wrenching words of Goldman Sachs, the leading soldier of the Eternal Night Army.

The most simple language is used, and the most simple truth is spoken.

Coercion, inducement, and propaganda of their own fine policies, all kinds of means are used in battle.

There is only one purpose.

That is to further damage the morale of the Kingsley family, and finally achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight.

In this case, how dare Akmaiser divide his troops?

If you are not careful, the team sent out will be completely gone, not only may not be eaten by the Eternal Night Leader, but also may defect en masse.

In order to put an end to this possibility, the Kingsley family's internal ties to the Eastern Army were closer than ever, and they monitored and supervised each other.

This treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

The biggest problem facing the Kingsley family's expedition to the East now is that the back road is cut off and food supplies cannot be delivered.

To be more precise, there was no food in the direction of the Carthusian military leadership.

As I said earlier, the various wars that have lasted for nearly a decade have been hollowed out by the Kingsley family, which is famous for its wealth.

In many cases, wars are fought on finances and money.

This principle is common in every world, in every country, and in any war.

In order to rescue the Eastern Expeditionary Army trapped on the east bank of the Danube River, Archduke Buck needed to raise more financial resources and go to the royal capital Valesta to run relations.

Like war, politics also costs money, and empty promises are far less effective than real money smashing people.

Due to transportation constraints, news does not spread as quickly in most areas, especially ordinary merchants and lords.

There is still a steady stream of Bryan people transporting food to the Swamp of Despair, but without the organization of the Kingsleys, they are now stranded on the border of the Swamp of Despair.

Tatar City.

It was the largest distribution center for the Kingsley family to trade grain with the Brians.

It has a natural geographical environment, and after coming down from the Huayu Plateau, it only takes another 20 kilometers to reach this place.

This place is a transition zone between a plateau and a swamp, and it combines the advantages of both, the altitude is not so high, but the weather is relatively dry, which is more suitable for grain storage.

It's just that as a member of the League of Criminals, this city is not big, and the infrastructure is even more general, not so much a city, but a relatively large cottage.

After a large amount of grain arrived, there were not so many warehouses to hold it.

The merchants who took materials from the ground and built temporary shelters were good, and more grain was piled up in the open air.

If there is a fire or a torrential rain, the consequences are unimaginable.

There was a bleak and gloomy atmosphere over the whole city, and it was clear that the latest news of the war had reached here.

The slightly larger grain merchants on the Huayu Plateau all gathered together to discuss solutions.

"It was only the Third Fleet of the Cummins family that was defeated, and it was the Grand Duke Buck of the Kingsley family who traded grain with us, and their army was not damaged much, why don't you want our grain?"

"That's right, but the problem is that the Kingsley family's army is on the east bank of the Danube River, and without the Cummins family's Third Fleet, the Danube River has fallen back into the hands of the Eternal Night Army and the crocodiles.

"The grain was shipped by Grand Duke Buck of the Kingsley family, and now that we have shipped it, he must give us an explanation, right?"

"Grand Duke Buck is now too busy to take care of himself, after the Kingsley family army was trapped, he returned to the capital as soon as possible to raise money to operate, and tried every means to rescue his army, and he didn't have the time to take care of us at all. ”

"The Kingsley family is rich and famous, even if we are poor, we can't afford a few food dollars, right? You have to give us an explanation, otherwise you will smash your own name, who will do his business in the future? Anyway, I won't do it in the future." ”

"First of all, you have to talk to Grand Duke Buck, and secondly, people have to take your threat seriously, so be careful that people raise their feet and trample you to death. ”

"Sir Copperfit, you have a point, you have spoken directly with Archduke Buck, and you have received his promise and authorization, can you meet Archduke Buck again and find a way to be accommodating?"

This proposal attracted the attention of all the grain merchants to the middle-aged man.

This man was none other than Sir Copperfit, a grain merchant from the Flower Plateau who had been received by Archduke Buck.

Originally, as the leader of the grain merchants of the Huayu Plateau, he was only elected out of necessity.

After receiving the personal reception and promise of the Grand Duke of Barker, the position was firmly seated.

Especially when he returned to the Huayu Plateau with the compensation promised by Grand Duke Buck, it caused an unprecedented sensation, so that many grain merchants who were originally hesitant decided to enter the market, abandon their families and businesses, smash pots and sell iron to raise grain, and follow the grain seller to transport grain.

As a result, as soon as they arrived in Tatar City, it was a blow to the head, the Kingsley army was trapped, and the food could not be transported.

In their panic, these people could only aim at Sir Copperfit, because they subconsciously believed that the other party had bewitched them, and if it weren't for him, they wouldn't have waded into this troubled water.

"Meet Archduke Buck again...... Belch...... You are really naïve, the current situation is different from the last time, the last time was because the grain road was attacked, and Grand Duke Buck continued to help them transport grain in order to stabilize it, so we offered that kind of generous price and treatment, and now ...... He can't take care of himself, once those hundreds of thousands of troops are wiped out on the east bank of the Danube River, it is still unknown whether he can guarantee the integrity of his territory, and he still cares about the reputation of his family?"

Sir Copperfield was not in good condition, even if he was poor, he had to keep his clothes spotless, not only covered with pleats, but even stains on his chest after the unknown liquid had dried up, and he had not washed or changed for I don't know how many days, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of wine, and his eyes were hazy with drunkenness, and he didn't know if he had completely sobered up.

Obviously, his pressure in recent times is not ordinary, not only from outsiders, but also from himself, because after the first successful grain transportation, he did not pay off his debts, but instead lifted more and transported more grain, hoping to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a lot of money, as the capital to turn over, but he did not expect to plunge headlong into the bottomless abyss.

But even if he didn't fully sober up, the orthodox education he received was there, and his vision was far from being comparable to that of those low-level grain merchants.
