Although the Crocodile Tribe Elders Council has tried its best to withdraw the Crocodile Tribe people from the west bank.
However, the shortcomings of their weak control were undoubtedly exposed at this time. Many smaller or remote villages and gathering places were not notified at all, let alone those savages who were not within their jurisdiction in the first place.
Regardless of the east coast or the west coast, more or less, there will be crocodile tribesmen left behind.
The Kingsley family had no time to pay attention to them before, but now that they are in need, they naturally think of them.
"Send people back to the border city to recruit mercenaries, and the price will be doubled from last time." Akmesser once again set his sights on the criminal alliance.
They were used as cannon fodder last time.
This time, because the Kingsley family was well prepared and pushed the whole process, they did not spend any money to hire them.
Now that there is a shortage of cannon fodder, naturally I thought of them immediately.
Due to the reputation of the Criminal Alliance, even if it is already under the rule of the Kingsley family, there are still many criminals who come to seek refuge every day for one reason or another.
Maybe it’s because I’m marching into the swamp of despair and I don’t want to create branches.
Perhaps out of the idea of recruiting a group of mercenaries when necessary.
The Kingsley family did not set out to clean up the criminal alliance.
Now it seems that this choice is correct.
There is no problem in recruiting 30,000 to 40,000 mercenaries using the heavy rewards.
Compared to the crocodile tribesmen who were driven here, these are high-level cannon fodder with some combat effectiveness. There are many brave people among them, and they may bring quite a surprise.
"Do you need to discuss this matter with His Majesty?" A general reminded in a very weak voice.
"I understand." Akmeser's face turned slightly dark, and he waved his hands and said, with an unconcealable impatience in his tone.
In the past, Akmesser had absolute control over this kind of matter. After all, this is the philosophy advocated by the Kingsley family. Things that can be solved with money should be given priority, especially those that reduce the mortality rate of our own elite soldiers.
Under the premise.
However, with the widespread use of the Messaging Eagle, the power of control in Acmeser's hands has become smaller and smaller. Unless it is particularly urgent, you need to ask Archduke Buck for instructions first, especially when a large amount of money is spent.
What's more, Archduke Buck is very close now, on the Commons family's dragon battleship.
After hastily ending the military meeting here, Akmesser went straight to Steubin's dragon-wrapped battleship.
The two families moved side by side by land and water, with a straight-line distance of no more than five kilometers. They were also operating in small groups, so there was no need for Akmesser to take a detour.
Akmeiser told Archduke Buck exactly what he had discovered in the past few days: "There is no better strategy at the moment, so we can only take the path of attacking the city with ants, but with our current manpower, it will be very difficult for us to do so."
It’s hard to crack this hard nut. Even if we crack it hard, we will suffer heavy casualties and affect our next plan. So I wonder if we can bring in a group of mercenaries from the border city to serve as the vanguard of the siege.
.”
"The difficulty of Commander Yong Ye is far beyond our expectations." Grand Duke Buck took a long breath, nodded and said, "You are the supreme commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, and you have the highest decision-making power.
You decide this matter, and I will give my full support. Not only can we recruit mercenaries from those border cities, but we can also offer heavy profits from the grain transport teams from the Bryan family to see if we can recruit some brave people from them."
Akmeser's eyes lit up and he said: "Your Majesty has thought carefully. Maybe we can really get some help from them."
Most of the people who are out doing business these days are somewhat brave, or have special escorts, and these businessmen are big on profits. As long as they are promised big profits, there is nothing they dare not do, including going to the battlefield.
Anyway, what the Kingsley family needs is siege cannon fodder, quantity rather than quality, regardless of whether their combat effectiveness is good or bad. When the time comes, it will be good to even help consume a few more arrows from the Evernight Army leader.
If it hadn't been for Archduke Buck's reminder, Akmesser would never have thought of this.
Perhaps Archduke Buck had already considered this step when he lured them with large profits to deliver food.
Take one step and see three steps. It's not that Archduke Buck can't do this kind of thing.
"In addition, I will send a message to the territory and organize another 50,000 slave soldiers to come out, plus 20,000 elites. When the time comes, we must capture this brotherly port at once." After thinking for a few seconds, Grand Duke Buck continued.
.
"Yes." Akmeser was overjoyed. He originally just wanted to recruit a group of mercenaries, but unexpectedly he actually got a large number of reinforcements.
If this series of troops are gathered together, the number of elites and cannon fodder he can mobilize will exceed 250,000.
If he still doesn't have the confidence to take over this city with less than a third of it built, he doesn't have to hang around and just take the blame and resign.
There were disadvantages and advantages to Archduke Buck's joining the army.
The disadvantage is of course that Akmesse will feel constrained by many things. Many things that he can obviously decide on, he has to go through an extra procedure. If the two parties can reach an agreement, it will be okay, but if they cannot reach an agreement, it will be terrible.
Although Archduke Buck was more sensible and let go most of the time, there were times when he was stubborn, and it was still difficult to reverse. Every time, it gave Akmer a headache, and he couldn't tell him directly that you can play politics.
But in a battle, if you are really far behind, don't give in blindly.
The advantage is that in this situation, he can directly observe the battlefield, have a more intuitive feeling, and give more support.
With the follow-up support promised by Archduke Buck, Akmesser was not in a hurry to attack the city.
Build a camp outside Brother Port, clear roads, establish safer logistics supply lines, or transport from the rear or cut solid wood from further away to build siege equipment.
In terms of recruiting troops, three parties are involved.
Akmesser didn't need to worry about the troops mobilized from the Carter military leaders, he just waited to receive them.
But the matter of sending troops to drive away the Crocodile tribesmen as cannon fodder and hiring border city citizens and Black people as mercenaries still required him to send people personally.
As time went by, the Kingsley family gathered more and more troops outside Brother Port.
While the Kingsley family was making frequent moves.
The Yongye military leaders are not idle either. Not only are various materials constantly being transported over, but the unfinished parts of Brother Port are also stepping up construction.
If you sharpen your gun in the face of battle, you will lose your happiness if you are not happy.
It would be nice to be able to build a little more now.
"We can't just sit here and wait, right? How about we take the opportunity to rush in at night." Tagore, the Andis Tiger, squatting on the top of the city and looking at the Kingsley family camp said whimsically.
The previous sniping on the river beach was just an appetizer to him, not satisfying at all.
"Just stay there honestly. It won't take long before there will be endless battles for you. By then, you won't be able to fight even if you don't want to. Now that your hands are itchy, go to the arena and find someone to spar with." Sean
She rolled her eyes angrily, not taking his thoughtless opinions to heart at all.
Everyone in the Yongye Army knows that the Kingsley family is currently dispatching troops and generals to prepare for the attack by the ants.
But there is nothing to do but wait patiently.
Compared to the Kingsley family's Eastern Expedition Army, the three main armies led by the Yongye Army are elite, but their numbers are too small.
The Alligator Tribe's previous bloody battle at the entrance to the Misty Hidden Lake had damaged their vitality. The remaining troops were asked to help defend the city wall and shoot arrows.
Drag them out to fight the Kingsley family in a field battle. They can fight, but the leader of Yongye Army is still worried!
Previously, they were able to rely on the terrain to carry out sniper attacks on the Kingsley family, but now such snipers are carried out as little as possible.
Because no one knew whether this was the bait dropped by Akmeser to lure them into the trap.
There were already three groups of Crocodile tribesmen soldiers who were ambushed by Akmeser and were eaten because they wanted to rescue the driven tribesmen.
Although the leader of the Yongye Army has air superiority, Sean is alone, facing an army of hundreds of thousands, and has no skills. He can only focus on the big targets, and the small situations still depend on the parties themselves.
Now the situation has been reversed. It is not the leader of the Eternal Night Army who consumes the vitality of the Kingsley family, but Akmeser who is trying every means to consume the leader of the Eternal Night Army and the Crocodile clan members.
Compared to attacking a city with ants, especially a fortified city, Akmesser preferred that they go out and fight a field battle with him. Even if the casualty rate was high, he would admit it. After all, no matter how high the casualty rate was, it would be impossible.
It's not bigger than ants attacking a city.
"That won't work. Even if I find someone to discuss with, I have to wait until my turn is over." Tagore said very principledly, "I'm just talking. It's not against the law to talk!"
"If you don't change your ways after repeated admonitions, you will suffer from your bad words sooner or later. You can go and do your business. I will just hang around and leave after a while." Sean did not give Tagore a good look.
This guy has now completely integrated into the Yongye Army. He is performing well in other aspects, but he has a habit of talking nonsense that he has not changed despite repeated admonitions.
Sometimes he can make someone so popular that he wants to be hung up and whipped twice.
However, anyone who knows him knows that when he speaks, he does not use his brain at all. If you are angry with him because of this, you are simply making yourself uncomfortable.
"How come? You are a lord patrolling, and I, the city defense general, have to follow you anyway. What if you find something wrong?" Tagore shook his head repeatedly.
"You are trying to drive me away in disguise!" Sean glanced at him sideways, feeling that he was just a fault-finder when he came here.
"No way, it's our honor for your lord to come to the front line to inspect." Tagore obviously didn't mean what he said.
"Stop talking nonsense here. This sentence coming out of your mouth is true or false." Sean laughed and scolded, "You are professionals in this regard. If I find faults, I will really add trouble. I am not
Those who came to inspect the defense just encountered problems in research, so they came out for a walk to change their mood."
"Oh?" Tagore followed Xiaon step by step as if he only believed in you.
It’s not that I’m really afraid of Sean finding fault, but this is the front line. What if the other party sends an assassin to assassinate me?
The tall city walls can stop ordinary people, but they cannot stop those great knights and champion knights.
Although this kind of thing is trivial, after all, Sean's appearance here is completely a temporary decision, but be careful and there is no big mistake.
In normal times, the defense of Brothers Port is presided over by the commanders of the three main legions led by the Yongye Army, with the Military Staff as an auxiliary.
Although Sean is now in charge of Brother Port, he rarely interferes in this aspect.
Industry specializing in surgery.
It's not that he has no talent in this area, but there are too many things that require his energy, and he no longer has any more energy to devote to it.
Rather than giving half-hearted commands, it is better to delegate power to these generals. You only need to firmly grasp the overall situation and coordinate and supervise various departments.
If Black Collar hadn't been so arrogant and wouldn't let anyone else ride it now, Sean would have even wanted to hand over the aerial reconnaissance aspect.
Fortunately, there is good news from the Biological Anomaly Research Institute.
The seven Sanset giant eagle eggs nourished by the energy reaction chamber reacted.
After receiving the news, Sean flew back to the Northern Fortress to personally witness the birth of these little guys who were of strategic significance to the Yong Ye Army Leader.
Unfortunately, only three of the seven giant eagle eggs survived, and the four had completely lost signs of life and turned into outright dead eggs.
To be more precise, they failed to return to ancient times in the eggs and became out-and-out deformed children, commonly known as hairy eggs. They were not even valuable for follow-up research. After all, they were not fully formed yet and could only be reduced to
Nutrients in the mouths of gluttonous people.
In terms of nutritional value, they are far superior to ordinary eggs. Even ordinary eggs become extraordinary after being nourished in an energy reaction chamber for two or three months, let alone the extremely rare Sanset Giant.
Eagle eggs.
Fortunately, with the help of humans, several Sanset giant eagles have successfully paired up and started laying eggs. It may be because of the abundant food. They have laid a lot of eggs. There are more than twenty eggs in total, which is enough for the Eternal Night Army.
Lead the next wave of trial incubation.
The three little guys who successfully hatched not only survived, but also successfully returned to ancient times just as the leader of the Yongye Army originally expected.
However, the three present three completely different states.
When one was just born, it was covered with electric light and the whole body was translucent.
One has abnormal air flow around its body and is covered in fluff, so it can glide over a short distance with fluttering flutters. As long as its wings are stronger, it can fly directly without any problem.
The last one, however, did not show any extraordinary abilities. It was neither possessed by lightning nor capable of controlling wind. It seemed to be no different from an ordinary Sanset eagle.
Of course, this just seems to be hatched after being nourished in an energy reaction chamber for half a year. This alone is a bit unusual.
In fact, this was proved in the following period. This little guy who looks the most inconspicuous has the largest appetite among the three. The appetite of the other two brothers and sisters is twice as much as that of the other two brothers and sisters combined. It seems that the magic on it is
All its strength was spent on growth and development. In just half a month, its size was already three times the size of the other two.
It is not obesity, but overall rapid growth. The Biological Anomaly Research Institute can still distinguish this clearly.
There is such a big difference between the ones coming out of the same nest. It can only be said that their bloodline is not pure. It may not only be the thundering golden eagle, but they may also contain the bloodline of other birds in their bodies.
However, they are only in their infancy now. What they will look like when they grow up is still unknown. The black collar is just an example and does not have much reference value.
On the contrary, recording their growth process will become the first-hand information for the study of biological anomalies, which will facilitate the subsequent hatching and raising of their brothers and sisters.
In addition, another reason why Sean went there personally was to select manpower and secretly establish another secret unit of the Yongye Army - the air formation.
Air formations are different from Night Leopard Marines.
The combat effectiveness of the staff is secondary. The most important thing is whether they can adapt to high-altitude operations, as well as other factors such as body shape.
Fear of heights is something that is sometimes beyond human control.
At first, Sean thought he had already adapted to flying at high altitudes because he had been operating the Thundering Golden Eagle for a long time.
As a result, after riding the black collar into the air, I discovered that this was not the case at all.
