This kind of pressure from the equipment makes it easier for people to feel helpless, and a kind of silent despair pervades the heart.
"Withdraw!" Nidia couldn't help but sigh heavily, "Now the main thing is to preserve our strength, and then think about other things."
Everyone present understood that it was impossible to do anything.
Just to withstand Akmeser's crazy attack has exhausted all their means and energy, not to mention the sudden appearance of a fleet with strong ships and crossbows behind them.
If the stalemate continues, all the elite members of the Crocodile tribe will be lost here, and they will really have no chance.
But no one can say this first, especially when victory is so close.
No matter how reluctant the Crocodile tribe was, they finally chose to retreat.
To talk about retreat is to put gold in their faces.
In this case, there is no way to organize a large-scale retreat.
The Commons family's pirate fleet would not give them such a chance.
Relying on the strength of the boat and the crossbows, they ran rampant on the Donau River.
Plunging headlong into the crocodile tribe's fleet is like a super giant jumping into Lilliput. Wherever it passes, the ship is destroyed and people are killed.
Even from a distance, you can still hear the arrogant laughter of the sailors and soldiers of the Commons family on the deck.
The elders of the Crocodile Tribe gnashed their teeth angrily, but there was nothing they could do. The equipment was inferior to others, especially this huge disparity. There was no way to make up for it with blood bravery.
The Commons family's pirate fleet drove the Crocodile clan members away like ducks.
"Go after them and kill them all. Don't let anyone go." A tall, dark-faced man stood on the bow of the largest of the eighteen warships and shouted excitedly.
This warship is not only the largest in size, but also the most ferocious in appearance. Most of the decorative patterns used on it are skeletons, and the horn is a huge animal bone that resembles a ferocious dragon's head.
Don't think it is an animal bone, but its hardness is beyond imagination. In front of it, the warship of the Crocodile tribe is like paper. If you scratch it, it will fall into pieces.
This should be the flagship among the eighteen battleships of the Commons family.
This kind of large-scale ship, called the dragon warship, may not be very famous in the inland, but it is very famous on the west coast and the inland sea of Zambia. It is the supreme weapon for the Commons family to use the sea to compete with the witch secret society for control of the sea.
Dragon carcass battleships, as the name suggests, their main bodies, especially the dragon bones, are said to be made from the remains of giant dragons. They are as strong as diamonds, but as light as a feather, and the hull that can carry them is beyond imagination.
Therefore, the warships produced are extremely huge in size and cannot be compared to warships with ordinary trees as keels, but their speed is no worse than warships one or two models smaller than mine.
On the vast sea, size is an advantage, which means that its loading capacity and collision ability are more advantageous. When it still has good speed, it becomes even more brutal.
There are different opinions on whether the Commons family's dragon-bone battleship was made of dragon bones.
There are those who are extremely convinced, and there are those who say that the Commons family is trying to embarrass themselves and brag about the fact that the bones of sea beasts are piled up to look like a giant dragon.
There are natural reasons for believing in everything.
Because the Commons family has a total of seven dragon-wrecked warships, and the youngest one has a long history of 120 years.
It's not that they don't want to build more dragon-skeleton battleships, but that they don't have any more dragon-skeletons in their hands.
If they really used the bones of sea animals to accumulate them, why would they deceive themselves to this extent?
As long as they build more dragon warships, they can drive the Witch Conclave back to the Twin Peninsula and dominate the entire west coast.
What's more, there are indeed many things about it that go against common sense, and some of its abilities are very mysterious. Each dragon-wrecked battleship has its own series of stories.
Throughout their history, you will find that these battleships not only have unique capabilities, but also seem to have been blessed by the goddess of luck. They can always come back to life and reverse the situation at critical moments.
The secret coven of witches, who have been competing with the Commons family for control of the sea, covet the dragon-wrapped battleship. They have conducted a lot of secret research in private. Although they have created a large-scale ship that is not inferior to the dragon-wrapped battleship, they have never produced one.
A true dragon-skeleton battleship.
Even if it is pieced together from the bones of huge sea beasts, it is only superficial. Its performance is far inferior to that of a dragon-wrapped battleship, even compared to a battleship made of ordinary wood.
The only time he came closest to owning his own dragon-wrapped battleship was through his usual trick - a honey trap, where he charmed a dragon-wrapped battleship captain and almost defected with the dragon-wrapped battleship.
Since then, the Commons family has become more strict about the dragon-wrapped battleship. If you want to become its captain, you must pass many tests within the family, be determined, and be extremely loyal to the family.
Its appearance here, and the appearance of a core figure representing the direct lineage of the Commons family, directly confirmed that this is the Commons family fleet.
"Kill them all." Countless people on the Commons family battleship responded to the call.
All of them were shirtless, with bulging muscles and dark faces. Their bare feet were wide and big, like nails, firmly nailed to the deck. As the hull rose and fell, most of them had a bad smell.
Rotten teeth, more or less rotten scars on the body.
This is caused by scurvy caused by long-term nutritional imbalance and insufficient intake of trace elements. It truly looks like a person making a living at sea.
Eighteen warships, led by the dragon warship, were like iron rakes with eighteen claws, plowing across the Donau River, leaving behind all the remains of the Alligator tribe's warships wherever they passed.
In the end, the formation was no longer maintained at all, and one warship alone would chase a dozen or even dozens of Crocodile warships.
They are like cats teasing mice, and they are running rampant like pigs.
"Catch up, catch up." Elder Webb led a dozen Crocodile tribesman warships, intentionally restraining his speed, and dangled in front of the dragon-wrapped warship that he knew was the flagship at a glance.
Sure enough, they saw a large number of warships gathered together, and the dragon-wrecked warships were at full speed, rolling over them with a overwhelming momentum.
These Crocodile Tribe warships, just like other warships, rushed towards the branch water channel next to them in a panic.
Great Elder Weber stared closely at the dragon-wrapped battleship, calculating the speed of both sides, and silently thought that it was getting closer.
Just when the dragon carcass battleship was about to rush into the branch water channel, with a huge body of several tens of meters, it turned nearly 90 degrees in a small space and stopped in front of the branch water channel.
The swarthy man who had been standing on the bow of the boat sneered: "Do you really think we are fools? I'm just kidding you. It's not that easy to run us aground."
There was a burst of laughter on the Dragon Skeleton Battleship, which seemed to be laughing at the poor methods of the Crocodile Tribe.
They have been playing with sea ships for more than a day or two. How come they don’t know the advantages and disadvantages of their own warships? The most taboo thing when entering an inland river is to run aground. They are carefully guarded from top to bottom. How can they rush in just because of the slightest temptation from the other side?
Confused?
He who treats others as fools is the biggest fool in the world.
Although you couldn't hear what the other party said clearly, the actions of the battleship were clearly revealed.
Great Elder Weber let out a regretful sigh and gave up all intention of fighting back.
The opponent was not only powerful, but also surprisingly cunning and cautious, leaving them no chance at all.
The warships of the Crocodile tribe began to withdraw along the diving areas and various branch waterways on both sides of the Donau River.
Although the Commons family's maritime fleet is powerful and the combat effectiveness of a single warship is fierce, its number is too scarce.
Compared with the Crocodile tribe's fleet, each of them is a huge elephant, while the Crocodile tribe's warships are like rats on the water.
It takes a matter of minutes for the elephants to disperse the rat herd, but it would be powerless to eliminate all the rats, especially the scattered ones.
Being big has the advantage of being big, and being small has the advantage of being small.
The Commons family's maritime fleet could only stare blankly at the Crocodile clan warships that entered the branch waterways.
After the Crocodile Clan's warships had withdrawn, Akmeiser led the Kingsley family's motley fleet to clear a channel at the mouth of the river that was filled with warship wreckage.
The dragon-carcass battleship of the Commons family had slowly sailed over. The swarthy man said in a condescending voice: "Where is Ackermeser? Kingsley? Let him come out and talk to you."
"Sir Steubin Commons, I have already arrived. It's just that your eyes have reached the top of your head and you didn't see it." Akmesser's voice came from below the dragon-wrapped battleship.
A swarthy man named Shi Dubin raised his head and took a look. Sure enough, there was a small boat parked there under the dragon wreckage, and a middle-aged man with an upright face was standing on the bow.
Compared to the Crocodile tribe, the Kingsley family is even more miserable when it comes to warships.
Although the warships of the Crocodile tribe are small, at least they are uniform in workmanship and numerous in number. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, at a glance, they are very impressive.
The Kingsley family's warships can be said to be of all kinds, with all kinds of warships and some with some combat effectiveness. In the previous fierce battle, they were basically wiped out.
Akmesser can not care about his own face, but he cannot care about the Kingsley family's face.
In an emergency, a warship that was not badly damaged was selected and came over. However, compared to the dragon-wrecked warship, it was still an inconspicuous little bean. If it hadn't been for the shallow water in front of it, it would have been rolled directly into the water.
Not necessarily in the middle.
Steubin retorted mercilessly: "It's not that I'm too high-minded, but that you are too insignificant. Please have a talk with the general on board."
"That's exactly what I meant." Akmesser nodded.
"Put down the rope," said Steubin with a wave of his hand.
Soon Akmesse climbed up along the rope.
Steubin pointed his thumb at Akmeser and said meaningfully: "You are so brave. You dare to board a pirate's ship alone. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get off?"
The rough-and-tumble sailors surrounded him with ferocious smiles on their faces. As long as their captain gave the order, they would immediately capture Akmesse.
Akmeser said calmly: "There is no point in taking me down. Without our cooperation, there is no way to take down the Swamp of Despair with just your few ships. Your hometown is too far away from here."
"Haha..." Steubin laughed loudly and waved his hands to ask the sailors to move away. "Not only are you brave, but you are also knowledgeable. It seems that you are the real Akmer. Let's get to know each other again, Steubin?
Commons, captain of the Third Dragon Fleet of the Commons family, I hope that our relationship will not be so bad in the future."
"Ackermesser? Kingsley." Ackermesser simply shook hands with him and said with a cold face, "You are here early, you should wait until our signal before entering the Danube River.
"
"Are you here early?" Steubin was obviously not a polite gentleman, and would not save face for Akmeser at all. He said unceremoniously, "I think it's just the right time to come. We have traveled thousands of miles to come here, but
I’m not here to collect corpses for you.”
"Our situation just looks dangerous. I have my own way to defeat the enemy." Akmeiser replied expressionlessly.
I don’t know if Akmesser really has a backup plan? Or is he just a stubborn duck?
Steubin snorted and did not refute Akmesser in this regard. After all, he was just on the battleship. He had a sudden glimpse and saw Akmesser and the crocodile tribesmen. They fought a tragic battle. He did not know the specific situation.
.
They appeared here not purely to rescue Akmesse, but because they were attracted by the fire on the west bank of the Swamp of Despair and couldn't help it. It just happened to happen.
Of course, there is some concern that the Kingsley family's troops will be too fierce and they will directly capture the Swamp of Despair, and then they will have nothing to do.
"You have just seen the fighting power of the Crocodile tribe. They are powerless to fight back in front of our invincible fleet. When the time comes, our two families will join forces and march forward together. It will not be an easy task to take down the Swamp of Despair." Shi Du.
The object language is full of confidence.
Not to mention that you have just seen the combat power of the Crocodile tribe's warship, even if you have never seen it, you don't take it to heart at all.
The Commons family's invincible fleet has been traversing the sea for so many years, and even the fleet of the Witches' Conclave has been half overwhelmed by them, let alone a group of indigenous people who have been isolated from the world for many years.
If it weren't for the fact that the home base of the Commons family was too far away from here, requiring nearly 4,000 nautical miles to travel along the continental shelf, it would take a month and a half even with smooth sailing, and there would be no way for the infantry to transport them here on a large scale.
They won't cooperate with the Kingsley family at all, and they have already taken over the entire Swamp of Despair.
The Kingsley family has been seeking a piece of grain-producing land of their own to get rid of the control of the Lancelot royal family.
Over the years, the Commons family has been pursuing a new territory where they can settle down again.
Therefore, even if there is no geographical advantage, they still can't help but keep their greedy eyes on the Swamp of Despair.
"Our biggest enemy is not the Crocodile Tribe, but the leader of the Yongye Army. Your early action completely destroyed the initial cooperation plan between the two parties." Akmesser was obviously not as optimistic as Stubin.
When he received a letter from Archduke Buck, saying that the Kingsley family would cooperate with the Commons family to plot the Swamp of Despair, Acmeser was not too surprised.
Obviously, the strength shown by the Yongye Army Leader has far exceeded imagination. Archduke Buck had to prepare a back-up plan and gave up the original idea of monopolizing the Swamp of Despair and cooperated with the Commons family.
If you get rid of the desire for exclusivity, the Commons family is a good partner for the Kingsley family.
They have a powerful fleet that the Kingsley family does not have, which will make up for their shortcomings in this aspect.
At the same time, they are far enough away from the Swamp of Despair that it is impossible to transport so many territorial citizens. When the time comes to divide the spoils, even if the Commons family has territorial interests, they are powerless and will have to listen to the Kings.
At the mercy of the Lee family.
Grand Duke Buck's golden abacus made a snapping sound.
According to their original plan, the infantry of the Kingsley family led by Akmeser should have pushed forward, pushing down the indigenous Crocodile tribesmen in the Despair Swamp. The Yongye Army leader who wanted to reap the benefits was behind.
When I can't help but pick fruits.
The Commons family's invincible fleet will catch the Eternal Night Army by surprise. The Kingsley family will cooperate from the side to determine the outcome in one battle and capture the Swamp of Despair.
