Chapter 265: Interception on the river

"Elder Weber, the other party's messenger has always been greeted by you. It is up to you to come forward and make preliminary negotiations with him. Elder Bishop will assist you. What do you think?" Netia said to the five-member council of elders. The identity of the chief assigns tasks.
"no problem."
"It's my honor."
　　 Weber and Bishop responded one after another.
Nidia’s face is shining with wisdom: "Although we are asking for others, we should not put our attitude too low, otherwise it will be self-deprecating. Even if we really want to sell it, we must sell it at a reasonable high price? Haven't fallen into this situation, the bottom line of the crocodile clan maintaining independence should not easily be lost."
　　 "Understand." Weber and Bishop are both old foxes, and they make it through.
　　 In fact, they all know that there is nothing to talk about with Bran.
　　 He is just a messenger, and many things can't be the master at all, let alone he has been detained by the Crocodile people in disguise for nearly half a year, and his understanding of the situation is seriously out of touch. Bran will never promise anything.
　　 The council of elders just wanted to send a signal to the Yongye army leader through Bran. Both parties have made certain preparations before they formally come forward to negotiate. That way, the chances of meeting are greater.
　　 Like Bran, he took the initiative to come to the door and let the crocodile tribe join the leader of the Evernight. That was the most nonsense. The possibility of success was almost zero. This was just a strategy that attracted the attention of the other party.
　　The attitude of the Crocodile tribe’s reversal really made Bran a bit of joy. He released the mountain eagle for the first time, packed his luggage, and embarked on the way back to the voyage.
　　 It took five months and twenty-three days. His mission finally had a relatively perfect result.
　　 Although he knew that this result had little to do with him, it was more of a comprehensive result of the various layouts led by Yong Yejun. He was in a foreign country, and he really didn't have much energy.
The biggest gain should be the contact with the people of Lausanne Castle, especially the young people. In the imperceptibility, he output the unique views of the Yongye Army leader. Among them, two young people left a deep impression on him. Because of their identities, but their insights, they are people who have gone out to see the outside world.
Such people’s racial concepts are usually not so narrow, and their xenophobia is not so strong. After the initial hostility is resolved, they talked happily. Bran instilled a lot of things unique to the Yongye Army. .
　　 Now the other party is not seeing these things, but as time goes by, these seeds of thought will take root and sprout on their own and grow strong.
　　 And these ideas usually represent the progress of civilization, even if they realize it, there is no way to refuse.
　　 Brann felt the same way before, knowing the power of this invisible weapon.
　　 There is no harm without contrast.
　　 When he was in the leader of Yongye, Bran hadn't felt how fast they were developing.
　　 When he was among the crocodile people, the contrast was clear.
Compared with the flourishing leader of the Eternal Night, the Crocodile tribe is just like the environment in which they live, exuding a decayed smell from the inside out. Even in the face of changes in the world and foreign invasions, the reaction speed is slow. Brann felt incredible.
If it is replaced by the leader of Yongye, no matter the information is true or false, the eagle eye will be dispatched and the mountain eagle flying in the sky will be investigated and verified. If there is no way to kill it, various emergency plans must be prepared in advance.
　　 Crocodile people are better. Apart from convening a meeting of the elders, it is a meeting. Even if this kind of wrangling meeting is held for ten or eight years, there are only a handful of things that can be solved.
　　 Even Webber, the leader of the Lausanne tribe who claims to be determined, has not been able to escape the limits of this circle at all.
　　 But in this way, Brann has stronger confidence in the annexation plan of the Yongye Army leader, because many things on both sides are not at the same level.
　　Branen boarded the assault ship Envoy, which was specially allocated by the army leader for this mission, and sailed directly from Lausanne Castle, diverted to a tributary, and entered the Donau River.
　　 Compared to when it first arrived, the water level surrounding Lausanne Castle has dropped a lot. Originally only half of it was exposed, but now it has exposed two thirds.
　　It won’t take long for the tributary that flows into the lake where Lausanne Castle is located. At that time, the castle that has been immersed in water for hundreds of years will be seen again.
　　 "Please get out of the channel. We are the envoys from the Yongye army leader. We are ordered to return to the territory. We have a pass signed by the Great Elder Council." The captain shouted from the bow of the envoy.
　　 Brann's heart beat, he walked out of the cabin quickly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
　　 "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is an unknown ship blocking the channel ahead. I don't know which tribe belongs to. I am trying to communicate with them." The Captain of the Messenger replied.
　　 Watching intently for a few seconds, Bran yelled: "They are intercepting intentionally, and the boat is moving at full speed and rushing over."
　　 Hundreds of meters away on the river, there are seven crocodile warships parked there at random, filling up the tributaries that have entered the dry season.
　　 The seven warships looked messy, but in fact, their bows all rushed in one direction, and they were in a relatively narrow section of the river.
　　 from the inside out, there is a breath of targeting.
　　 "This is not appropriate. If you rush into it, it may cause the relationship between the two parties to deteriorate." The Captain of the Envoy was hesitant.
"What happened, I am responsible, and quickly give the order, everyone enters the fighting position, raises the sails and shakes the oars, and advances at full speed. All those who dare to stop us will crash." Bran's face was gloomy and surprised. Chaos.
　　 Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, especially the disagreement rumors of the Council of the Elders on the leader of Yongye.
　　 Some people would like to see Yong Ye Jun's intervention, but some people don't.
　　 It is very possible that someone took the opportunity to set their eyes on him, if he had an accident on his way back to the Yongye Army to lead his life.
　　The relationship between the two parties will deteriorate rapidly, and it is very likely that the Council of Elders will be completely opposed to the leader of the Eternal Night.
　　 Of course, this may also be Brann’s own suspicious guess.
　　 But he couldn't bear this risk. His life and death were small, and it would be a big deal to let the Yongye Army Leader Project go bankrupt.
After staring at Bran for a few seconds, the captain of the messenger gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Since the chief of staff talks about this, I will believe you once, but this is my ship, even if something goes wrong. I am also responsible. This chief of staff can't be robbed. All the staff will enter combat positions and move forward at full speed."
　　 With the sails pulled up and the oars turned, the messenger began to accelerate, even if it was moving upstream, the speed was still fast and frightening.
　　At this time, the seven crocodile warships that were blocking the road also moved, and rushed toward the messenger aggressively. There were many people on it, but no one came out to talk.
　　 This all confirms that Bran's guess is correct. The other party is very purposeful and is directed at him.
　　 "Everyone prepares for the impact." The captain of the messenger shouted.
　　 The distance between the two sides looks quite long, but the two are at full speed and oppose each other, but the time is very short, so short that both sides can save long-range attacks, and getting started is the most direct head-on collision.
　　 Click!
　　 The terrifying cracking sound is clearly distinguishable.
The crocodile warship that was hit head-on by the Envoy had its head broken on the spot, and the remaining half of its body was rolled directly into the water. The crocodile soldiers on it had no chance to dive. Brought into the water.
　　 The two sides are not a heavyweight at all.
The messenger is the largest type of assault warships led by the Eternal Night Army. It is no longer a pure assault warship. In addition to its size, there is also a part of the structure of the ship on it. Although it is only a single layer, it makes Its weight has greatly increased, and its impact is full of power.
　　The crocodile clan warship didn't even have one-third of its size, and it faced each other head-on, only the portion that was crushed, and even the more deadly damage was left.
However, the crocodile warships did not fight alone. There were six other ships hitting them one after another. Because of their downstream advantages, even if they were small in size, the collision force was quite terrible. Once they were hit by their horns. In fact, it is very possible to directly hit the hull of the messenger. At that time, even if they had a large body, it was useless.
At this time, the commanding ability of the Captain of the Envoy was tested. He was able to stand out from the many captains and serve as the captain of the mission warship. He was naturally unique. In just a few short collisions, he frantically hit the rudder. Fine-tuned the direction four times.
　　 Each fine-tuning represented a collision with several crocodile warships, which made the angle between the messenger and their collision angles smaller, and a large part of the force was offset, and there was even a perfect dodge once.
The crocodile warship rushed directly against the narrow hull of the messenger, and was thrown tens of meters away. The furious roar of the commander of the warship seemed to be clearly heard, they wanted Turn the bow to catch up, I'm afraid it can't be done in a minute or two.
　　 After all the collisions were completed, the messenger survived miraculously, not to mention that the hull was not fatally injured, there were three leaks, and there were no major problems. In a few minutes, the ship's craftsmen would complete the repair.
　　 On the other hand, on the side of the Crocodile Clan warship, another one was overturned, and the other had its horns cut off and stayed on the ship of the Messenger.
This is just the beginning. These crocodile warships obviously still have their backs to prepare. When they collided, countless hooks were thrown up to connect them together. A famous crocodile soldier swung over like an ape and prepared to meet in short order. .
　　 "Let the arrow go."
　　 There is no need for the captain to speak at all this time, the first officer and the captain have already issued orders.
Countless sharp arrows smashed down fiercely. Although the rate of fire is not very fast, the accuracy of the head is scary. The long arrows are also specially made, thick and long, and some of the short spears. Once they are hit in the air, they will be powerful. The kinetic energy took him to fly a few meters away and died on the spot.
　　 This is not the power that the Andis longbow should have, but the rapid-fire continuous crossbow led by the Yongye Army.
　　 These small bed crossbows have been developed to the extreme by Yongyejun. The rate of fire, range of attack, and accuracy of the head have become quite terrible. The only drawback is that they are relatively bulky and inconvenient to move.
　　 This shortcoming does not exist on the battleship, they have become the first choice of close defense weapons for the warships of the Eternal Night Army.
　　Those crocodile soldiers who tried to grab the board, like dumplings, fell into the water in pieces, and disappeared after a few ups and downs. When they came up again, it was a dead body.
"Cut the ropes, hurry, cut all these ropes, don't stop, and then rush, as long as you enter the Donau River, there will be our merchant ship." Brann kicked a crocodile soldier who had successfully climbed down. Cut off the rope securing the two ships on one side.
　　 No one knows how many warships these forces that want to destroy the relationship between the two sides have prepared, and the longer they drag, the more disadvantaged they will be.
"Ah!" Bran yelled, an unusually dim light flashed on the armor, and a translucent shield appeared behind him, and then the whole person was bombarded like a cannonball, slamming into the hull firmly. Just stopped, he involuntarily ran a bit of blood, gritted his teeth and said: "Champion Knight, you are Elder Klein!"
Even after killing Bran, he did not expect that among the soldiers rushed by the opponent, there was a champion knight hidden. If he was not wearing the enchanted armor of the Yongye Army leader, the guard was activated at the critical moment, which offset the sneak attack. Most of the strength, otherwise this one will kill him.
　　 Champion knight is not a cat or dog, especially in the elder council system of the crocodile tribe, it is impossible to be unknown, even if he no longer has the leadership ability, even if he is alone, he will inevitably be elected to the council of elders.
　　 What's more, in this age when you like to depend on the strong, as long as you achieve a certain level of ability, the vassals will naturally come like a cloud.
The strong can absorb more resources from nature, whether it is his own power or individual hunting, this is an unbreakable truth, because he himself is a big resource consuming person, if he does not have enough resources, let alone a champion knight, become a knight and Great knights are difficult.
　　The top powerhouse of the crocodile tribe, Bran has all met ~EbookFREE.me~ for the first time to connect the image of the other party with the person in memory.
　　 However, the champion knight didn't answer at all, and immediately launched a stormy attack.
　　 "Protect the Chief of Staff." After such a delay, the Eternal Night soldiers on the Envoy rushed up in fear.
It's just that the strength between the two is too great. Regardless of speed or strength, their only role is to fight the opponent's punch as a flesh shield, and then fly out with blood spurting out, and the sound of bone breaking and tendon cracking is clear. After falling to the ground, he couldn't get up again.
　　 But none of these eternal night soldiers had a feeling of fear, and they still rushed to the champion knight assassin continuously, and didn't care about death with one punch, because this was their task, and their duty must be defended with their lives.
"Flee!" An eternal night knight who also wore a guardian enchanted armor, resisted the champion knight assassin, and dragged his half-crippled body. He clung to the opponent's leg and refused to let go. Screamed, "Go!"
　　Although he didn't say his name or surname, he didn't even rush to himself, but Bran knew that he was talking to himself. At this moment, his body showed a double sky of ice and fire.
　　 The body is hot, the blood is swollen, and the whole person seems to be burning, resounding and howling in anger, and wants to win the opponent.
However, the consciousness was cold, and this impulse was blocked abruptly. The other party’s sacrifice was to give him time to escape. He must not die, at least not here. In this way, he became the leader of the eternal night. It is not their mission to be the fuse for the all-round development of the Crocodile tribe. They have completed their duties and missions, and they should also complete their own.
