The two sides entangled for two days and two nights at the mouth of the Wuyin Lake and the Donau River. The number of elite soldiers paid by both sides was tens of thousands. When the river was again full of broken ships, corpses, and blood.
The gods crossed a foot, and it started to rain heavily.
In fact, the rain is not a coincidence.
But the fire on the west bank of Despair Swamp is spreading fiercely enough. Under the scorching sun, not only the traps laid by the crocodile tribe are constantly fermenting, but Despair Swamp itself is also constantly fermenting.
Because of the volatility of biogas, when the wind blows, it is a real fire wind, wherever it blows and where it burns.
If it weren’t for the fact that there is still a Donau River running across here, I’m afraid the entire Despair Swamp would be plunged into a sea of flames, and the two fighting parties would become kebabs in the big grill.
Rao is so, the air they breathe seemed to be hot in the end, from the moment they entered their mouths, it was hot, and the whole lungs were almost cooked through.
This situation completely surprised the elders of the Crocodile Clan. They hadn't seen a marsh marsh fire before, but they had never seen such a cruel one, which really shocked them.
Without the Kingsley family's invasion, the extremely hot and drier weather alone would have probably brewed a large marsh fire. If they were caught off guard, their crocodile tribe would suffer heavy casualties.
The Kingsley family's army, this helped them to prevent disasters to some extent.
But they didn't dare to have a fluke mentality. They still fought the Kingsley family fiercely. On the other side, they sent smart soldiers back to the ethnic group to conduct fire prevention and disaster prevention and clean up the biogas.
Fortunately, the Crocodile people have survived in the Swamp of Despair for many years. They have their own set of methods to deal with biogas. As long as they are prevented in advance, even if there is a fire, they will not be out of control.
The crazy fire will naturally dry the swamp further, and countless water vapor keeps rising, and it will be if there is no heavy rain.
This sudden torrential rain made Akmesser mixed.
Hi, the frantically rising water level of the Wuyin Lake helped them take this opportunity to rush out.
Worry, they dealt with the shipwrecks piled up in the river. The most advantageous method of fire attack would not take effect. The two banks would become muddy and muddy. They would be extremely slow and unable to cooperate with the actions in the river. What he did was to rush the water course.
As for the retreat, Akmesser didn't even think about it.
Because of this heavy rain, the fire on the shore has become smaller, but the biogas has not completely dissipated, and the way back is still unsafe.
The most important thing is that they went too far this time, and the way back is extremely long.
Crocodile tribe will not watch them slip away, they will certainly take advantage of the victory.
At that time, the retreat may become defeated.
After all, the size of their army is too big. When they retreat, the messy situation, the soldiers can't tell whether they are retreating or losing.
It's better to take advantage of the sorrowful aura they have now and execute the last fight to the end. Maybe it can break through the obstacles of the Crocodile tribe and reverse the whole battle.
It's not only Akmeser who is looking at the entire battlefield in the rain.
Across the river mouth, several crocodile elders gathered together, staring worriedly at the river.
What Akmesser can think of, the elders of the crocodile tribe can naturally also think of it.
This heavy rain caused a fierce battle that lasted two days and nights, and I pressed the pause button.
But both sides know that this is just the last calm before the arrival of a greater storm. The next round of fighting will only be more intense, cruel, and bloody.
Grand Elder Bishop, the smiling face that will never disappear all year round, gathered at this moment, gritted his teeth and said: "God thief, when it should rain, not a drop will arrive. When it should not rain, get up. It's endless. This is an eagerness to exterminate our crocodile clan. I just don’t like you. I organize the manpower. I personally take people up. Even if more warships are scuttled, I will block the river mouth and never give them Opportunity to rush over."
"In the first two days of the battle, we even lost nearly 30% of the warship on the water and used it as obstacles on the shore. We must use it sparingly and not be so reckless, otherwise we will face no warships. The situation." Elder Weber did not directly stop him, but spit out a thrilling number.
The battle damage of the warship is more than 30%. What about the soldiers?
Although there is no way to count the exact figures for the time being, the number is definitely not optimistic.
"The battle damage is so bad?" Not only the elder Bishop looked sideways in surprise, but the other two elders also stared with surprise.
They have been charging in front for the past two days, and they have not had time to exchange information in this regard.
"We have been using warships to block the estuary, and the loss is naturally more serious. The Kingsley family is probably not much better, but rest assured, I have sent people back to the race to raise more warships. We only need to hold on for another day. In two days, there will be more ships coming.
Elder Weber finally said a little good news.
Compared with the Kingsley family armies hanging alone, they have support and reinforcements.
Although the warships that the Crocodile people can bring, they have basically brought them out. The family gave birth to nothing more than small fishing boats and small sampans.
But the battle has been fought to the present level, and both sides are clenching their teeth.
If you can take a bite of milk at this critical moment, no matter how big or small, it may become the weight of overwhelming victory.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to them when they come to help." Grand Elder Bishop stared at the skyrocketing river surface with some worry.
The hidden mist lake was once connected with the Donau River, and the land surface that has just been exposed is not high.
Once this torrential rain lasts too long and the amount of rain is too heavy, the water level of the misty lake will rise, and there will be openings everywhere, and there will be no way to block it.
Once the Kingsley family rushed across the river, it would really become a big problem.
The opponent of Akmesser is really difficult to deal with. After shopping for so long, with such heavy casualties, the Kingsley family army in desperate situation still shows no sign of collapse.
On the contrary, on his side, the blood and bravery of the Crocodile Clan soldiers is being worn away little by little.
Because of the most brave part, it has been charging at the forefront, suffering heavy casualties, and the rest is either the old oilman with rich experience in the battlefield, or he just shrinks back and knows his life.
If it weren't for a group of elders who took the lead in the front line, I am afraid that deserters have already begun to appear among them.
"It's impossible, ask the Yongye Army for help! If you have their help, you can definitely eat the entire Kingsley family and never suffer from future troubles." An elder suggested.
"No way."
"No."
"Absolutely not."
Several great elders refused in unison.
What a joke.
I don’t know how easy it is to ask God to give it away.
Let the people led by the Yongye army come in, it is to drive away the wolf, the new tiger enters, their trouble is even greater.
If they were willing to lead the Eternal Night Army into the arena, they would invite them when the Kingsley family launched a full-scale invasion. Why bother to suffer until now?
What's more, the battle has been fought for this purpose, and it will be able to support it by biting the teeth, let alone making such a decision.
Great Elder Weber gritted his teeth and said: "It's really impossible. Let's fight a countercharge to entangle them and not give them a chance to breathe."
"Wait a little longer, and see if God is on our side." Elder Nitya looked more stable, "This kind of rainstorm usually comes quickly and goes quickly."
"I hope so!" The other elders were worried.
It is the most unreliable thing to place expectations on the moody God.
But at the moment they don't have a better way, they can only wait.
Facts have proved that things always oscillate between good and bad, and Nitya is only half accurate.
The duration of this torrential rain is indeed not long, only less than an hour, but the rain is big enough and fast enough to raise the water level of the misty lake.
Although it is not the peak water level, it is once again connected to the Donau River, but the width of the mouth of the river is nearly doubled.
This means that the Crocodile needs a defensive line of defense, which is twice as wide.
Akmeser couldn't wait for the rain to stop, so he beat the drums again.
It is a race against time. They must rush out before the water level drops. This is their best time.
It may be because of enough pre-war mobilization this time, or it may be that the Kingsley family soldiers are aware of the importance of this attack.
Therefore, this offense was far more fierce than any previous one, including the most tragic first.
The crocodile tribe still used their old tricks again, pressing up on the whole line, using the lives and blood of marine soldiers to once again build a line of defense on the river, blocking them firmly in the misty lake, and wanting to consume them alive.
At this time, there is no strategy to use, no strategy to use.
can only be used for shopping and life.
Either the Kingsley family has piled up a lively passage of flesh and blood.
Either the crocodile tribe used the warship and the blood corpse of the tribe to forge a steel city wall, preventing them from crossing a step.
If there is no external force, there are basically these two results, and there is no third result.
But.
just afraid of this but.
Just when the two sides fought the fiercest, a third-party force crossed its foot and broke in like a wild boar.
is not the leader of Yongye.
Although the army led by Yongye has assembled, and stared at the battle nervously from beginning to end, there is no intention to enter the arena for the time being, and there is even a slight worry.
It's not that they are worried that the Crocodile can't stand it, but that the Crocodile is about to win. For them, it will be the worst situation. Most of their previous layout and efforts will be lost.
The leaders of the Yongye Army, the meeting has been held one after another, and the discussion is about whether to send troops now.
, after all, involves a stop loss problem.
Cut in before the Kingsley family's defeat, even if the Crocodile family themselves are about to defeat the Kingsley family, but the Evernight Army leader still has a tiger skin to help them fight the enemy together.
When the Kingsley family is completely defeated, and then the army is dispatched, then it will be a complete military invasion.
The fire of the Crocodile tribe could actually burn Akermeshal into a desperate situation, which they hadn't expected before.
This makes them murmur, in order to build a good relationship with the crocodile tribe, is the benefit of feeding them a bit too much? The pigs are too fat and it takes a lot of trouble to slaughter them.
The mountain eagle that flew to the royal capital Valesta changed from the first three hours to half an hour.
In the end, it directly became a letter of urging urging Xiao En to come back and preside over the overall situation.
When Xiao En was in the military leadership, he kept silent in many military and political meetings from beginning to end. When the results of the discussions came out, he signed and implemented them.
It is for this reason that they are not very worried about Sean's mission to the capital Valesta at a critical moment. Anyway, they perform their duties, and they basically hold the palms of their hands in the desperate swamp situation.
But when Sean was really not at home, especially in the current dilemma, they realized the importance of Sean to the leader of Yongye. They are now as uncomfortable as they have drawn their hearts.
If Xiao En is in the territory at this moment, even if he sits there without saying a word, they will have a bit of confidence in their actions, because someone will help them support!
This kind of unconventional trust and confidence, of course, did not come out of thin air, but was built on a series of brilliant achievements that Shaun led Yongye.
Throughout the entire development process of the Yongye army leader, they may have encountered small setbacks, but in the general direction, they have never made mistakes, including the choice of the swamp of despair.
Although they chose the most difficult and unique invasion method, it was also the most suitable for the Yongye army leader. Once successful, the profit would be the greatest.
But the current situation is obviously out of control.
Is it a stop loss or continue to bet?
Always have an idea, no matter which option, the benefits involved are too great.
Even Tagore the Tiger, who has always been big-mouthed and likes to vent his guns, has died down. Even if he confesses his guns, he still knows a little bit in his heart. Now is not the time to promote his power.
They did not wait for Sean's return in the end, only one word of reply-wait.
I don’t know if it is Sean who has deep confidence in Akmesser? Still don't want the previous effort wasted.
Just as the Yongye army leader was still struggling, an unexpected spoiler appeared.
A fleet of eighteen warships, headed up against the current, aggressively pounced on the crocodile tribe.
This is a battleship in the true sense. The smallest one is no smaller than the building led by the Yongye Army. The three largest ones are nearly twice as big.
These warships are long and narrow, with high sides, deep drafts, and tall masts and heavy sails. They are definitely not prepared for inland rivers. They are out-and-out ocean ships.
They appeared so suddenly, they completely caught the Crocodile tribe by surprise.
"Damn it, where did these warships emerge from? How come there are so many big ships here? Could it be that Yongye Army led it?"
"The ship is not the right type. You have never seen the boats led by the Yongye Army. They are all relatively flat river boats. This kind of narrow long side and high, tall mast and heavy sails are clearly large sea boats prepared for long voyages. It’s not right. The Eternal Night Army leads us upstream, it is impossible to emerge from our downstream."
"Skull dragon head, this is the pirate flag, this is the flag of the Commons family in exile among the eight major families of the Byron Alliance. Damn, damn, the Kingsley family has joined forces with the pirate family and is preparing to join forces to carve up the swamp of despair. Completely exterminate our race."
"Stop them, send a warship to stop them, and don't let them attack our defense line."
"Block? How to block? Our warships are less than one-third taller than their ships. We are going to attack the city on the water!"
"Bump, hit them directly."
The entire crocodile tribe has become a pot of gruel, which can't react at all.
It's not that Elder Weber didn't try to deploy manpower to intercept it.
But the ships of the two sides are not at the same level at all. Let alone those large sea ships equipped with a large number of siege ballistas, the thickness of the ship's plate alone is not comparable to that of ordinary river ships.
The crocodile warship that went down the river tried to avoid the ballista and slammed into the opponent. The result was minimal damage to the opponent, but his warship was broken.
