Chapter 362: Fish-Man War

The position of the Ashlibor family in the Kingdom of Borui is very awkward, the ancestor of the family, Baron Ashlibor, risked his life to land on the Seven Great Islands, and after returning, he successfully persuaded the five most powerful families in the Eastern Alliance to start an 80-year fish-man war, and finally created the United Kingdom of Bory.

The Baron was undoubtedly the founder of the Kingdom of Borui, and the five ruling families gave him great prestige, canonizing him as a court earl, as well as a hereditary fiefdom without autonomy. However, none of the five major families are married to the Ashlibor family. For a long time, Ashley Bol was excluded from the power core of the Borui Kingdom, and the family heirs did not even have a seat in the Senate.

Under the joint suppression of the five major families, Ashley Bol became the mascot of the Borui Kingdom, and no lord wanted to be close to them. Williams said that Ashleybor was good at building ports and shipbuilders, which was purely praiseworthy, but the family witnessed the rise of the Borui Kingdom, and for the lords of Gambis, Ashleybor was the authority on building ports.

This generation of Count Ashley Bor has a high nose and deep eyes, deep eye bags, at first glance he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, and a luxurious spider silk shirt can't hide the decadent atmosphere from the inside out. He leaned over slightly and said, "As you wish, His Highness Williams." ”

At this moment, Victor had already understood that Williams had not given up on the plan to build a port in the Chebman Territory, and Count Ashley Bor was his follow-up.

Sylvia's expression was indifferent, quiet and beautiful, and she seemed to be aware of this scene. Sophia glanced at Ashley Bol coldly, no matter what, Count Ashley Bol represented the Borui Kingdom, and the Borui Kingdom spared no effort to attack the Bucks Merchant Group.

"Although the fish-man is mentally confused, he still has the instinct to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage. Count Ashlibor stepped forward, put his hands on the wall, and said, "The beach occupied by the fish-men must allow them to run, so every gentle beach is the natural territory of the fish-people. Based on the fish-men's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, we continue to kill fish-people on the river beach, create a zone where the fish-people fear death, and then build a fish-proof wall to change the environment in which they run, and over time, the fish-man group will abandon the corresponding river beach. ”

"I've heard that the Ant-Man army used to massacre fishmen in Randall and Chebman?" Count Ashley Bor asked, turning to Victor.

Victor pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, Randall's riverbank is 123 kilometers long, and there are 15 gentle river beaches. The ant tide devoured countless fishmen on these banks, and the heaviest battle I had ever seen took place on the largest beach in the east. A silver-level fish-man king led more than 20,000 fish-men to crawl out of the Jinshui River in dense clusters, and they frantically attacked the ant colony on the river beach, once pushing the battle line to two kilometers away from the river bank. Randall's ant colony was all attracted to the past, and under the fierce counterattack of the ant colony, the fish-man fell into chaos, the fish-man king was killed by the ant-man leader, and the fish-man army immediately collapsed, only less than 10,000 fish-people fled to the Jinshui River, and the rest of the fish-people became the rations of the ant colony. After that battle, Randall's fish-people were battered and no longer able to launch a large-scale counteroffensive, but the skirmishes never stopped. ”

"I estimate that the ant colony killed at least 35,000 riverside fishmen in Randall. ”

"The situation is similar in the Chebman Territory. Gillian clasped her hands to her chest and gloated: "The two fish-man kings were all killed in battle, and more than 40,000 fish-men were killed, but they also wiped out tens of thousands of ant-men...... The river beach fishmen are really weak, and they can't beat the ant colony if they are superior in numbers. After a pause, she sighed again, "To be honest, I don't think there is an orc that can fight head-on against an ant colony that never collapses. ”

Princess Angel glanced at Gillian's proud bust and said, "Miss Chebman, have you ever seen a centaur charging in a group......

Ashley Bor coughed dryly and pulled the topic back to the conversation, "The riverbank where the Fish-Man Lord died is a death zone that makes the Fish-Man people naturally fearful. Until the new Fish-Man Lord is born, their sense of escape prevails, and their will to fight is at its lowest. In a sense, you should be glad that Ant-Man killed the Fish-Man Lord. Otherwise, everyone will be able to see the ferocious side of the fish-man group. In fact, booby-trapping the Fishman Lord has always been an important tactic for us to capture the tidal flats. ”

"Of course, if the threat of the Fish-People could be eliminated so easily, we Borui people would not have been entangled with the Fish-People for hundreds of years. Count Ashley Bol dusted off his hands and said, "Can you get a log?"

Victor's jaw gestured, and one of his attendants quickly ran down the wall. It wasn't long before two strong guards came up carrying a thick log.

"Drop the wood down the river, fifteen meters away. The Count commanded.

As soon as the words fell, Sophia held the log with one hand, and with a slight lift, at least 1,500 pounds of the log flew out with a "whirl" and smashed heavily on the river 15 meters away, causing a large splash.

Obviously, the whole body is soft and boneless, how can there be so much strength....... the corner of Victor's eyes jumped.

The log floated in the river, and an ugly fish-man head poked out of the river, which swam towards the log and climbed up, followed by a second, a third...... Soon, the eight-meter-long log was crowded with squeaky and squeaky fishmen pushing each other.

"Fish-people are amphibious orcs who are born with the ability to breathe underwater. The tidal flats are the places where they bask in the sun, rest, and remove lichenosis. Pointing to the river, Ashlibor said, "And the entire Jinshui River is a feeding ground, a spawning ground, and a passage for the fishmen. Who can wipe out the fish-people underwater?"

"For more than 600 years, the Fish-Man War has continued to this day, and we have eliminated millions of fish-people, but the number of fish-people has never changed. As long as the Jinshui River remains, the fish-people will not become extinct, and it is precisely because the fish-man war is never-ending that the Borui Kingdom has abandoned 5 ports on the north coast, and now only 4 large ports are retained. ”

Sylvia said lightly: "I just want to know the impact of the underwater fishmen on the construction of the port. ”

Ashlibor bowed to Sylvia and said respectfully: "Honorable lady, the harbor must have a dock and a dock, as you have just seen, the fishmen like to climb on floats, and the dock and dock are the same for them, so the dock dock of the Borui Kingdom is very strong, able to withstand the anti-fish wall, and there must be patrol soldiers. So, we drove a lot of fine iron piles under the pier as support. In the process of piling, the craftsmen first had to build a pontoon bridge, and at this time, the craftsmen and soldiers could barely resist the surprise attack of the underwater fishmen. ”

Williams smiled and asked, "How did the ancestors of the Borui Kingdom solve this problem?"

"All-out fish-man war!"

Ashleybor turned and replied, "First trap and kill a fish-man lord, occupy a river beach suitable for building a port, and then attack the other fish-man lords at the same time, the fish-man lord will continue to gather fish-people to participate in the battle, the number of fish-people under the water has dropped sharply, and the craftsmen will hurry up to build a dock." The greater the intensity of the war, the less the artisans were disturbed, and the greater the losses suffered by the army. This experience was forged with the blood and lives of our ancestors, who lived through the eighty years of the Fish-Man War, when the blood of soldiers and fishmen stained the mudflats red, and the docks and docks of Alexandria were completed. ”

"Is war and fighting the same meaning?"

Barbarian Elder Harald said jerkily in the lingua franca of humanity. He dropped his heavy iron battle axe, climbed over the wall, clasped the wall with one hand, and slid all the way to the muddy mudflats. The tower-like legendary barbarian walked a few steps on the riverbank, the mud sinking to his knees, he shook his head, kicked his legs hard, and with a bang, the whole block of silt burst out in all directions, and the river beach seemed to be blown out of a large crater by a cannonball. The barbarian elder jumped 7 meters high, clasped the wall with both hands, and quickly climbed upward, his body was as agile as an ape.

What a terrifying explosiveness, such a powerful barbarian berserker!

The walls of the city were silent, and everyone changed color.

Harald, 35 Physique, 32 Spirit, 22 Perception, 37 Health, and his total elemental stats have surpassed the state of the Golden Knight when he embodied the Void Element. Harald is not only physically strong and brute force, but his leap shows great skill in transportation, his strength is as round as one, and his whole body is like a spring.

The mighty mammoth beast would not be able to climb up if it was stuck in the mud, and Harald not only jumped out of the mud, but also jumped to a height of 7 meters. Victor suspected that if this were on flat ground, the old barbarian would be able to jump at least twenty meters high.

This is a weakened version of the Hulk......

The Barbarian Elder climbed up the wall, and when he saw that there was no mud on him, the two Golden Knights, Monstock and Farul, couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Although the Golden Knight is able to mobilize the power of the Elemental Sea, this extraordinary ability has great limitations, and the Golden Knight will never use it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Harald's strength, defense, and battle instincts would be greatly enhanced once he had the talent for rage, and as for the barbarian's chant, it was an even more mysterious power.

In front of the barbarian Gorsa, there is no second possibility for ordinary golden knights except to be crushed.

"Sophia Urusa, lure the fish-men to the ground, and let's smash these poor creatures!" Harald exclaimed.

Ashleybor swallowed and said, "Mighty barbarian warriors, cowardly fishmen never dare to leave the muddy river beach. ”

The old barbarian picked up the iron battle axe and said in a muffled voice: "Sophia Urusa, my body and that of my people are as heavy as rocks, we hate silt, you have to kill all the poor worms in the river yourself." ”

Barbarians also have weaknesses...... Williams breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled elegantly, "Elder Harald, this is a human war, and we can handle it ourselves. Then he asked Count Ashleybor: "How do you think we should fight, and how long will it take to build the docks and docks?"

Ashlibor thought for a moment and said, "Attack all the flatflats in the territory of Gambis at the same time, and let the soldiers line up in long columns, use sharp hook and sickle guns, and arrange archers behind them...... Considering that the area of the river beach in Gambis is smaller than that of the Borui Great Bay, I personally estimate that this war will last 8 years. ”

"It seems that one or two families alone will not be able to defeat the riverbeach fishmen, and we are going to issue a kingdom war order, calling on all the lords to join forces to send troops. Roland brushed his hair behind his ears and smiled sweetly: "Gambis really needs to fight an all-out war, otherwise the soldiers of all families will soon forget how to fight together." ”

The eldest princess of Gambis has been a war maniac since she was a child, otherwise she would not have led the children of the royal capital nobles to form the Knights of Glory.

Williams glanced at Sophia and said, "Money is needed to fight a war, and money is needed to build a port...... Your Excellency Ashlibor, what do you think of the conditions for the establishment of a port here?"

"The environment here is good!" Ashley Bor looked at Sylvia's face out of the corner of his eye, and continued: "The port of the Borui Kingdom is located in the Great River Bay, which is the mouth of the Jinshui River, the water is wide and boundless, and the current is gentle, and we can use large sailing ships to sail in the river bay. Although it is only 14 kilometers from the south shore, the water is turbulent and the deep water is infested with giant beasts, which is difficult for small boats to cross, and large boats are limited by the narrow terrain and current, so they cannot rely on the wind, so they can only go straight down the river into Lake Femis near the territory of the Lant Empire, and then cross the river by sailboat. ”

"It's a little far from Lake Femis......," said Archduke Williams, as if to himself.

Who could not understand what Williams meant, but this was an internal affair of the Gambis, and the foreign envoys had an attitude of watching the excitement. Miss Chebman was not pleased, and said, "Isn't it faster for the big boat to paddle across the river?"

"The soldiers couldn't row the big boat. Williams said with a smile.

"My people and I can't swim, but we can row!" Harald said.

You can row a big boat, but we have to cross the river often......

The representatives of the major families were silent, and Williams hurriedly said: "There is another question, this is the westernmost part of the territory of Gambis, what about the fishmen in the upper reaches of the Jinshui River? ”

"It's not impossible. Roland nodded.

Williams: "......"

Representatives of the families: "......"

Foreign Envoys: "......"

Victor: "...... Well, that's not necessary, the fish-people of the Swamp have also encountered ant tides. ”

Even if Ant-Man hadn't attacked the Fishmen of the Swamp, my Alchemy Dragons and Lizardmen tribes wouldn't be vegetarians. Victor thought to himself.

"It's a pity!" Roland shook his head regretfully.

"......" Sylvia spat out and said, "There is no point in discussing the construction of the port now. I asked the Senate to convene a war council to settle all the arguments. ”

Williams bowed his jaw and said, "Then after the coronation of Prince Edward, I, as the regent of Gambis, will gather the elders of the kingdom to discuss the matter of the fish-man war." ”

"Very good!" Sylvia smiled slightly, her eyes wandering, "Baron Fenicos is hosting a banquet at the Randall family's Silvermoon Manor. The scenery of Silvermoon Manor is beautiful, and the Randall family's cuisine is unparalleled in the world. Please come and visit us. ”
