The Origin of Arcane

At the beginning of the establishment of Brother Port, the defense function on the river was naturally fully considered.

The number of giant trebuchets as tall as a city wall is frightening.

The location of the Brothers Port was carefully selected. It is at the intersection of two rivers. After the diversion, the water flow is relatively narrow, and some shoals have been artificially filled by the leader of the Yong Ye army, forming a relatively large area. Narrow water portal.

How narrow is it?

The huge trebuchet was so narrow that Yongye Army Leader customized it, and it could blast from one side of the river to the other side of the river.

No matter how strong the big ship of the Commons family is, it cannot withstand the bombardment of a huge boulder weighing hundreds of kilograms.

It's not that the Commons family has tried this place before, but after seeing the power of the giant catapult led by the Yongye army, they turned around and ran away without saying a word.

This kind of fixed trebuchet must have been calibrated with a special attack range, and its accuracy is terrible. Before it was fully prepared, the Commons family did not dare to force it.

In other words, if you want to take Brother Port, the fleet of the Commons family alone is not enough. You must cooperate with the infantry. Truly reign supreme on the Donau.

The other crocodile people who hadn't had time to go to Brothers Port, under the cooperation of Yong Ye's army leader, kept them away from the flames of war as much as possible.

The Kingsley family should not launch a full-scale attack on the east bank of the Swamp of Despair until the strategic goal of Brother Port is taken down.

Because it doesn't make much sense, the criss-crossing waterways will become a convenient channel for the Yongye army leader and the crocodile tribe to harass them continuously, and the fleet of the Commons family can't sail in, and they have powerful force, but they can't help them. busy.

Both Archduke Buck and Ake Messer are smart people one by one. Even the seemingly reckless Commander of the Third Fleet of the Commons family, Stubin, is a bit of a fool.

When these people get together, they can naturally distinguish which is more important, and know what kind of choice is the best.

For the next period of time, both parties worked hard for the same goal.

After the leader of the Yongye Army transported all the crocodile people stranded in Brother Port to the Andes Mountains, a steady stream of supplies flowed from the leader of the Yongye Army to Brother Port.

Not only the arrows support food, but also countless giant trees, flowing down the river.

They are not only replacements for giant trebuchets, many of them will be fixed on the surface of the Donau River by ropes and become obstacles on the water to make up for the lack of water combat power of the Eternal Night Army.

Even the relatively rare boulders in the Swamp of Despair are being transported here.

However, the number is relatively small, and more of them come from the coal mines of the Manyu Army.

Compared with the time-consuming and laborious transportation of stones, it is better to directly open the furnace and burn bricks. When they are packed together, the lethality of throwing them out is not much less than that of boulders. After a violent impact, they will directly become shotguns.

As for black fire oil and black gunpowder, let alone, such weapons of war are naturally indispensable.

For the Kingsley family, after signing a formal covenant with the Commons family, formal water training began. At the same time, the Kingsley family's food and timber were continuously transported up and transformed into rafts and warships.

Although the large ships of the Commons family have strong combat effectiveness, in order to adapt to the strong winds and waves at sea, their shape is much smaller than that of river ships, and their transportation volume is obviously much smaller.

Eighteen ships were sent out together, and they could transport five or six thousand people at a time. They couldn't get close to the shoals and landed on the beach. They couldn't be counted on at all, and they had to rely on the small boats built by the Kingsley family themselves.

Suddenly, the entire Swamp of Despair fell into an unprecedented state of tranquility.

But everyone knows that this is the last calm before the storm.

Byron calendar 382, ​​end of summer.

This was the third summer in which the Swamp of Despair fell into an abnormal climate, and it was also the most chaotic and turbulent summer.

The battle situation here has turned around several times.

First, the Kingsley family's steady push seemed to take down the entire Swamp of Despair in one fell swoop.

When the crocodile people took advantage of the trap formed by the Swamp of Despair, a fire burned the Kingsley family to the ground, almost failing to completely defeat them.

Then the third fleet of the Commons family suddenly intervened without warning, causing the crocodiles to fall short and be defeated.

But now, the Yongye army leader who had just become a part of the Byron Alliance officially intervened, and the two sides faced off in a full-scale confrontation in the Swamp of Despair.

Among them, the rapid changes and the complexity of the situation are dazzling.

But these are only the forces involved in this war on the surface, and there are countless hidden forces behind it.

For example, the Black family, which provided a large amount of food for the Kingsley family, and the Lancelot royal family, who cut off the food supply in order to stop the Kingsley family, instead opened an unlimited supply of food to the leader of the Eternal Night Army.

Even the Holy See of Saint Ether and the Secret Council of Witches, who seem to be inactive, are paying close attention to this battle through their own methods.

No matter which side wins the Swamp of Despair, it will have an impact on the current structure of the Byron Alliance.

If the Kingsley family wins the Swamp of Despair, they will break free from the ropes that the Lancelot royal family controls them. According to the character of Grand Duke Buck, the title of the royal family of the Byron Alliance may change.

The eight great duke families of the Byron Alliance have no direct allegiance, and no one stipulates that the royal family is static, right?

If the Eternal Night army leader takes over the Swamp of Despair, then the Byron Alliance will no longer be the eight army leaders, but the out-and-out nine army leaders.

Regardless of whether other grand duke families are willing or not, the rise of a brand new grand duke family is inevitable.

This decisive battle, which will have a profound impact on the structure of the Byron League, started on the last day of this summer.

The reason why the attack was launched on this day was because of the large-scale rainfall in the Swamp of Despair for three consecutive days, which caused the water level of the Donau River to rise sharply, which was most suitable for the actions of the Commons family fleet.

Under the cover of the Third Fleet of the Commons family, thousands of rafts and warships of the Kingsley family rushed towards the east bank of the Donau River. horizontal beach.

This is not a natural port, but it is most conducive to the spread of the Kingsley family's army. Kingsley soldiers in heavy armor don't have to worry about falling into the water here. The deepest part of the water here is only to the chest. Can't struggle out.

Array, array, with the flag as the center, the eighth squadron array, heavy equipment in front, archers behind, form a defensive formation. After the low-level officers of the Kingsley family climbed ashore, they immediately commanded their squadron. The flag stood up, and he greeted his soldiers hoarsely.

The Kingsley family and the Commons family took part in this joint operation, not to mention the fact that the Yong Ye army leader may have unknown air force, even under normal circumstances, it is impossible to hide it from the enemy's eyes.

Halfway across is the weakest moment for an army. They must race against time to stand on their heels before the coalition forces of the Yongye Army leader and the Crocodile tribe launch an attack.

In order to grab the beach, the Kingsley family's army is based on squadrons.

A squadron of thirty or forty people is most suitable. Even if it is heavily loaded, three or four rafts can be loaded.

The smaller the number of people, the easier it is to assemble. After rushing ashore, and forming a team, they can form a certain combat effectiveness.

When hundreds of squadrons are connected together, they will be the vanguard of the Kingsley family's entire landing force.

Although the area of ​​this shoal is not small, it is also relative. It can accommodate two or three hundred rafts and warships at a time, which is already the limit.

What made these low-level officers of the Kingsley family anxious the most was that there were people swaying in the reeds by the river, and it was unknown how many people were hiding.

The Yongye army leader and the crocodile tribe did not turn a blind eye to the Kingsley family's landing.

It is true that they are on the defensive now, but it does not mean that they must stick to Brother Port and wait for the Kingsley family to attack.

It is the most correct choice to carry out all-round sniping with the help of all the geography that is beneficial to one's own side.

Their convenience is no worse than that of the Kingsley family.

Although the Commons family blocked the Danube River, the tributaries on the east bank are still dominated by the Yongye army leader and the crocodile tribe. Through the complex water network here, their infantry can appear in the fastest speed. any one position.

Fire the arrows! Just before the first group of soldiers from the Kingsley family landed on the dry land, arrows rained down fiercely.

All of a sudden, there was an endless sound of puffing.

Those Kingsley soldiers in heavy armor would not even have a chance to hum if they were hit on the front door, or on the neck where the armor could not protect, and they fell into the water on the spot.

There is no doubt that this is the Andis longbow produced by the leader of the Yongye army, all of which are armor-piercing heavy arrows.

Although the Andis Longbow has not yet reached the level of world-famous, but in a small area, it can be called prestigious.

Ultra-long range and brutal power, even the heavy armored infantry of the Kingsley family were terrified when they heard it.

Because they have seen their power in the hands of the crocodile tribe before.

But compared to this time, the last time was still pediatrics.

This time, the number of arrows was so dense that the sky was covered by them, no matter how they moved and dodged, they were all within the envelope of the arrows.

What's more, they are now either on a warship or in waistless water, wearing heavy armor, it is very difficult to move, let alone dodge.

The only thing they can do is to raise their shields or arms to protect their weaker vital points.

However, the chain mail, which is so powerful in front of ordinary bows and arrows, is not enough to look at the armor-piercing heavy arrows of Andis' longbow. Many soldiers of the Kingsley family have their arms nailed through, but they can't take their arms away. Grit your teeth and resist.

Soon those Jinsili heavy armored soldiers were covered with arrows, each with no less than five arrows.

Fortunately, the Kingsley family had made preparations for this from the very beginning. Those who landed on the beach were all heavily armored soldiers. Otherwise, with this wave of arrows alone, the vanguard would be completely wiped out.

Even so, many people are still suppressed and unable to lift their heads, let alone rush forward.

Don't stop, all rush forward, make room for the brothers behind, stay here, just wait for death. The low-level officer of the Kingsley family shouted hoarsely.

These low-level officers are often veterans with rich combat experience, and they are the real front-line commanders. They know very well what kind of approach has the highest chance of saving their lives.

The so-called family glory is all false, used to shout slogans before the war, or to brag and show off after the war.

When they actually go to the battlefield, only a few knights who have been brainwashed by religion or family will fight for glory, and more of them will fight for survival.

Why do many veterans look more heroic than recruits and take the lead in charging.

Having experienced many wars, it is only one aspect that they ignore life and death, and it is because they know that if they do not move forward, they will only die faster.

If they were blocked on this river beach, it would be a dead end.

I will become an out-and-out obstacle, my friendly troops will have no way to land, and the enemy's attacks will continue. In the end, if I don't die in the hands of the enemy, I will be squeezed and trampled to death by the friendly troops behind me.

Instead, he rushed forward, looking extremely dangerous, but there was a glimmer of life.

Because after the road gets out of the way, there will be a steady stream of friendly troops starting to land.

After the number advantage is formed, not only can a counterattack be formed, but the probability of hitting the arrow will be much smaller when facing the same number of arrows, right?

Those who can be selected as the vanguard are naturally the elite among the elite, and their reaction speed is not unreasonable. Many people have already roared and accelerated their progress.

Use rafts, use rafts as shields, and protect the formation. Among Kingsley's soldiers, there were also smart people, who called out to their comrades, and erected the means of transport they had come to cover in front of them.

Needless to say, these rafts look extremely rough, but they are very useful.

Even the armor-piercing heavy arrows of the Andis Longbow Team don't want to nail through these log rafts. This is similar to how the logs were bundled up as shields when the mountainous Kentana barbarians invaded. .

It's just that these rafts are bigger and require four or five people to lift them up at the same time, but they can cover more people. Three log rafts can cover a squadron.

Others also followed suit, and soon there were countless shelters erected in the shallows, and the casualty rate dropped significantly. At the same time, it also cleared the obstacles for the subsequent landing soldiers, allowing them to use more Get close at a fast speed and proceed to land.

Soon there was a group of Kingsley soldiers set foot on the shore.

Using the brigade as a unit, start to assemble and form a defensive front. The orders of the lower-level officers of the Kingsley family were quickly adjusted. With the log raft as a shield, they were not as eager to launch an attack as they were at the beginning , to disturb the enemy's archers, but to organize defenses on the spot to provide cover for the brother troops who landed later.

The leader of the Yongye army and the crocodile tribe who organized the interception this time also had a deep understanding of strategy and tactics. Seeing that the bows and arrows could no longer pose a big threat to them, the bows and arrows falling on them became sparse, Moved back, covering behind them, the soldiers of the Kingsley family who were still struggling in the water.

Moreover, the joint interception force of the Yong Ye army leader and the crocodile tribe is far more than the Andis longbowman.

Attack! In the reeds, there was a loud and clear sound of war drums.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

The roar of wild beasts came and went.

The reeds swayed wildly for a while, and huge monsters in heavy armor stepped on the passages and got out of them, like heavy armored tanks, facing the formation that Kingsley's soldiers had just formed, rushing crazily. up.

Andis the giant bear.

Andis giant bear after returning to ancient times.

A retro Andean bear in heavy armor.

Less than one-tenth of these ancient Andis bears have activated spell-like abilities, but their sizes are without exception, huge and terrifying.

The shortest one, with a shoulder height of more than two meters and a weight of more than two thousand kilograms, plus a bear armor of more than one hundred kilograms, when it runs, the ground seems to tremble.

The name of the giant bear is on them, and it is worthy of the name.

They now have a special name in the Eternal Night Army - Armored War Bear.

When thirty-six armored war bears charged at the same time, even the elite veterans of the Kingsley family changed their expressions drastically.

Don't wait, let's release it together. Originally, the best-selling selection was finished, and it was necessary to add another week, but the big push syndrome came.

After the big push, the subscription results were not very satisfactory, and I fell into a state of self-denial, and I felt awkward no matter how I wrote it.

In the past few days, I have been in a state of salty fish with basically not writing much, and it is all supported by saving manuscripts!

So, let's not play dead and add updates, let me adjust and talk about it!
