Chapter 299 Urgent move (for the head of the supernatural continent 5/5)
The Crocodile tribesmen, who looked very weak and were not taken seriously by the Kingsley family at all, gave them a slap in the face.
A fire burned them to a pulp and almost wiped out the whole army here. Akmesser was confident in front of Steubin. He would not lose the battle even if he lost. However, he continued to fight like this, even if Akmesser still had some weapons in his hands.
There are one or two trump cards that have not been fully used, and the outcome is still unknown.
This battle was definitely the one with the heaviest losses for the Kingsley family in the past hundred years. In order to break the formation, those who charged forward were all the most elite and brave members of the Kingsley family.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers have fallen here forever. If Archduke Buck heard about it, he would just stomp his feet in distress.
Most importantly, the warship originally prepared by the Kingsley family was damaged by more than 60 to 70%. During the subsequent invasion of the Swamp of Despair, they had to rely on the Commons family.
The more you rely on them, the more powerful the pirate family will be in extorting money.
Fortunately, it was not all without gain. The price paid by the Crocodile Tribe was no less than theirs. Those who were wasted were also the most elite and most courageous members of their tribe.
They shoulder the spirit of a nation. Without their support, the Crocodile tribe may not be able to withstand such a tough battle again.
Then there was the Commons family's little calculation, which exposed them in advance and lost the opportunity to sneak attack on the leader of the Evernight Army. This made the situation in the Swamp of Despair more complicated.
But what has happened has already happened, and it is useless to say more.
Akmeiser was not the kind of person who was greedy for words. After expressing a few words of dissatisfaction, he changed the topic to the cooperation between the two parties.
The most important thing at the moment is for both parties to work together to swallow the swamp of despair.
However, for Akmeser, the most important thing is to lick his wounds, repair his team, and reopen the road with the Carter military leader to allow subsequent supplies of food and grass to be shipped up.
Three consecutive days and three nights of fierce fighting are a challenge and torture for any army.
Both the Kingsley family and the Crocodile tribe are overloaded.
It's just that one side is fighting to the bitter end. If they don't advance, they will die.
The other side is relying on its homeland, and if it cannot hold it, it will perish.
If it were in a normal state, they would have been defeated long ago due to the collective psychological collapse of the soldiers on one side.
When the tightly clenched breath was released, all the soldiers seemed to be exhausted, or yelled excitedly, or roared crazily, or cried loudly, and some even had a complete psychological collapse and fell into half stupidity and half madness. It was really incredible.
One is enough.
Without a period of repair, it is really a question of how much combat effectiveness they can exert.
Steubin really wanted to act alone, but without the cooperation of the Kingsley family, the few sailors they had on board the ship would not be enough to fill the teeth of the Crocodile Tribe if they were to go ashore.
Their big ship has become their biggest obstacle again. Not to mention the inaccessibility of various branch roads, even the two sides of the Donau River do not dare to get too close.
The only thing he can do is to show off his power on the Donau River, intimidate the crocodile tribesmen, and feel the water conditions of the Donau River at the same time.
Otherwise, when a fight actually breaks out and someone lures you into a shallow shoal that looks very deep, it will be a tragedy.
If you want to launch a full-scale invasion of the Swamp of Despair again, you must wait until the Kingsley family's army has been adjusted.
However, with such an invincible fleet roaming the Donau River, the west bank of the Despair Swamp must be cut off from the Crocodile tribe. If they are not defeated, there will be no way to conquer their homeland.
When the Commons family fleet entered the Donau River and the news of the complete defeat of the Crocodile tribe was sent to the Yongye Army leader, all the senior leaders of the Yongye Army were surprised and then overjoyed.
"That old viper is really good at scheming. The reinforcements he invited are probably for us. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be a pig teammate, but they actually helped us. Hehe, I see those elders,
Can you still bear it now?" Even a rough man like Andis Tiger Tagore, who didn't like to use his brain, saw through Archduke Buck's plan at a glance.
However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, the situation that was already somewhat destructive for the Yong Ye military leader was completely reversed and turned into the one that was most beneficial to them.
The powerful fleet brought by the Commons family is certainly a new threat, but it is far less beneficial than it is.
When they originally faced the Kingsley family, even though they were at a disadvantage, the Crocodile tribe always had a sense of luck.
If they couldn't hold it any longer, they still had a water advantage and could retreat to the Donau River and tangle with the Kingsley family on the river.
It is precisely because of this mentality that they have always refused to bow their heads and asked the Yongye Army to take action.
If this consumption continues, the elite members of the Crocodile tribe will be completely exhausted. At that time, it will be somewhat meaningless to ask the leader of the Yongye Army to take action.
In fact, the leader of the Yongye Army has already prepared for the worst and is preparing to use some relatively inferior means, such as using the elders who have been bribed by them to lie about the military situation and invite themselves into the game.
However, the leader of the Yongye Army did not want to use this method unless it was absolutely necessary.
It's different now that the Commons family has joined. Their powerful fleet has directly shattered the last psychological defense line of the Crocodile tribe, leaving them with powerless despair.
In this case, the Eternal Night Army Leader will be their only choice.
"As expected of the ruler of a territory, his methods are really vicious. If it weren't for the lack of tacit understanding between them, we would have suffered a big loss." Ban Hebrew, a person with rich associative abilities, did not look particularly special.
It looks good, but it has obviously been associated with the most terrible consequences.
"If the execution is not in place, what's the use of even the best calculations?" Skullcrusher Mikey grinned, "The lord has been telling us to wait, isn't it possible that we are waiting for the opportunity now? Could it be that he
Have you already received information about this?"
When he said this, his eyes had already fallen on Ralph, the first person in charge of intelligence in the Evernight Army.
The news that Sean knew, he probably also knew.
Seeing everyone's eyes falling on him, Ralph spread his hands and said: "We know that Lord Buck was negotiating with the Commons family to purchase a ship, but was blackmailed by the pirate family. However, they reached a secret agreement in private and sent a team of pirates.
A fleet of ships detoured thousands of miles from the sea to sneak attack on us, but they knew nothing about it. Our Eagle Eyes of the Eagle Eye Special Service are also made of flesh and blood. We can only see with our own eyes and listen with our ears. We cannot
Conjuring magic out of thin air.”
"The situation of the Commons family is too special and very exclusive. Our people have never been involved in it. Our understanding of this family is completely hearsay, and nothing comes from within them. Anyway, I don't know about this matter.
"
Anyone who knows something about the Commons family will know that Ralph is telling the truth.
Since this family lost the Miracle Peninsula and fled to the sea, they can only make islands and boats their home. Many people will never have the opportunity to set foot on the mainland throughout their lives.
Half of the population comes from self-reproduction, and the other half comes from plundering at sea. Once you get on their ship, there are only two ways to go, either join them, or turn into a dead body and sink to the bottom of the sea.
This is also the origin of their pirate name.
Even if the Eagle Eyes of the Eagle Eye Special Service managed to sneak in, they were probably the lowest level of ship slaves, tied by their feet with iron chains and rocking the oars, and had no chance to collect or pass on the information.
"Whether the lord knows it or not, please send this information over first and see what instructions he has." Erikson, who has a steady temperament, has the same steady opinion as always, "Before this, let us be fully prepared, and the war will be over.
It’s coming, no matter who it is, they can’t take the swamp of despair away from our hands, the swamp of despair belongs to us.”
"Huha!" Everyone couldn't help shouting excitedly. There was no fear at all for the coming war, only enthusiasm and excitement.
They have been operating in the Despair Swamp for such a long time, opening up trade, transporting food, exporting weapons, and helping the Crocodile tribe train new troops. They have been studying for so long, and finally it is harvest time.
Don't get me wrong, they are not learning, they are just a disguised investment.
When Sean received the news, he was entertaining the elders of the Andis descendants of Valesta at a banquet.
Due to their skin color and race, the descendants of the Andis people in the Byron League usually protect themselves through associations, and the most commonly used one is the Chamber of Commerce.
Because most of the Andis descendants do not have land, some narrow-minded local lords and nobles do not recognize their identity and are unwilling to allocate it to them even if the land is barren.
In order to survive, they can only do some menial jobs, and doing business is one of them.
The Byron Alliance is now an out-and-out agricultural economy. In the eyes of the lords, land is above all else, at least most of the lords do. Those like the Princess Regent who admire the New Deal and pay attention to business are the minority among the minority and are deviant.
Seniors, even if they are in a high and powerful position, if they want to implement the New Deal, there will be many obstacles.
No one wants to engage in the dangerous business of doing business unless absolutely necessary.
These days, traveling far away is an extremely dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you will never come back, let alone traveling around the world with goods. There is no way to help people who do this.
Only one person is tall.
Gathering in groups and doing business collectively is the right way.
This is what the descendants of the Andis people did.
However, compared to the lavish spending of Yongye Army Leader, he is taking the high-end luxury route and building his own restaurant and shop.
The descendants of the Andis people of the Byron Alliance undoubtedly run some businesses that are not on the table. Most of them are the most inconspicuous, low-profit and risky businesses that are looked down upon by the noble agents, just to make a living.
.
They also dare not get involved in businesses that make money too quickly. Being wealthy is a very dangerous thing for them. Not to mention the nobles and nobles, even those ruffians can kill their whole family at will.
Seeking legal protection?
Yes, the legal provisions of the Lancelot royal family clearly stipulate that they are free people and have the same status and rights as the Byrons.
But the law is still enforced by people.
Since human factors are involved, there is no real fairness and justice.
These descendants of the Andis people have already understood this, so they have been living cautiously and humbly.
When they heard that an Andis, an Andis with pure blood from the Andis Mountains, accepted the canonization of the Princess Regent and became the Baron of Evernight.
You can imagine how happy they were in their hearts. They rushed to tell each other and looked forward to it.
This kind of feeling is not just as simple as the promotion of a relative from the same race.
Also because they saw hope in it and the hope of being protected.
After all, there is a natural connection between the two parties. They do not expect Baron Yongye to do anything for them. As long as he does not discriminate against them and provides them with the justice they deserve at the critical moment, they will be satisfied. They can use the rest.
Create with your own hard-working hands.
They originally thought that it was just a small leg. After all, the position of baron was numerous in the Byron League, especially in Valesta. If a stone fell from the sky and hit anyone casually, it might be the same as the baron.
Nobles are involved.
But judging from the momentum created by the Baron Evernight when he came to Valesta, there is no way to measure it with ordinary barons. Even those powerful earls with hundreds of years of historical heritage may not be able to create such a big thing.
The battle is coming.
These descendants of the Andis people were happy but also a little worried.
The more powerful Baron Yongye is, the more powerful they can borrow from him.
But the same problem is that the more powerful the other party is, the higher the threshold is, so you may not be able to like them.
If the other party doesn't want to see you at all, all your excitement and excitement will be in vain.
This worry reached its extreme after the other party rejected his invitation one after another.
If they have never seen hope, they may still be willing to just go on like this.
Now that we have seen the light and hope, it is hard to accept that they are being snuffed out.
The only good thing is that Baron Yongye's rejection was not a rejection of contempt, but the kind of rejection that had other plans.
When Valesta opened a store, it had already shown goodwill to the descendants of the Andis people. Many of the store staff were recruited from among them, and the salaries given made many Byron people feel attracted to them.
His eyes are red.
This is something they never dreamed of before.
Therefore, when Sean sent out invitations, naturally no one was absent.
The banquet organized by Sean was not the buffet banquet that was very popular among the nobles of the Byron Alliance. Both men and women held wine glasses and strolled around and chatted casually at the banquet.
Eating and drinking are just trivial things to add to the fun, while socializing, chatting, and secretly dealing are its main purposes.
Sean didn't like this kind of banquet very much. He always felt that this kind of banquet was a bit alienated and wary, and everyone was wearing a mask.
What he likes is the feeling of gathering at a table.
But it's not an aristocratic oak table.
That kind of table is often three to four meters long, and some are even more than ten meters long. The older the family, the longer the oak table.
I don’t know since when, the production of oak tables also had strict regulations among the nobles.
Not only are there regulations for inlaying copper, silver, gold, and hollow patterns, but there are also regulations for size, which are closely related to the time of family inheritance, the rank of nobles, and the number of clan members.
If the oak table used for family dinners is of the wrong specifications, it will be ridiculed by everyone, and 80% of the time it will be labeled a nouveau riche.
But one thing is certain, the longer it is passed down, the longer the family’s oak table will be. The current record holder is undoubtedly the Lancelot royal family.
Sean had the privilege of visiting that oak table. From one end to the other, even a nimble waiter would have to walk for several seconds.
If you were sitting at both ends of the table and having a conversation, you would probably be shouting at the top of your lungs.
It is said that this table has the highest record of accommodating 123 members of the royal family at the same time, sharing dinner.
This kind of table is not so much a dining table as it is an extension of power.
When dining here, not only are there strict restrictions on seating, but also all kinds of etiquette are clearly stipulated and must not be exceeded in the slightest.
Sean is now also eligible to have his own oak table, which can be two to three meters long.
