Dongjun collar was very quiet in the night.
On the Reese Niston River in the distance, occasionally there is a fleet of lighted ships, marching in a row, splitting the waves and spray, sailing in the dark, and rushing to the South County of the Lion Principality to sell goods and buy supplies.
As the lifeblood of the human kingdoms, the Reese Niston River will never be quiet.
This is a vital channel.
In fact.
Even if the human nations go to war with each other, this river will not be blocked.
Those aristocrats with caravans and a lot of wealth will not easily touch this river even if they fight each other, because it represents the interests of the nobles as a whole. s failure.
No one will pass up the guy who breaks the rules, not even the opportunity to come back after failure.
It is more cruel than war.
Kant understood.
Even if all these are not the rules on the surface, they are no longer explained by the hidden rules.
He was sitting on the bank of the Reese Niston River, just at the mouth of the tributary estuary extended by the ancient passage, looking at the vast river surface with waves in front of him under the light of the stars and the moon, thinking deeply.
This can be said to be the Reese Niston River that nurtured human civilization, leaving indelible traces in history.
But he has other ideas.
For example.
Transport troops to break through the defense line and attack key strongholds.
There are also attacks from east to west and feint attacks, all of which can be realized with the help of this river.
Especially after he already has a navy mainly composed of Nords, the use of this river is no less than the use of heavy cavalry by the Swadians.
The classic battle example of the Nords is to take a warship and storm the coast of the Kingdom of Swadia like a storm.
It even broke through Sagos, the capital of the former Swadia Kingdom, allowing the forces of the Nords to truly set foot on the Calradia continent, and even have the ability to unify the continent!
Now.
Kant also had the Nords.
This group of born merchants, sailors, and warriors who are good at fighting.
As long as they have them, it is possible to take a warship and directly raid the South County Territory of the Lion Principality.
Wait, this is not a possibility, but a reality. If Kant thinks, Wocheze, which has been successfully upgraded to a fortress and is still starting to build towards the castle, can really build a group of elite sailors!
Especially after more than half of the water thieves on the Reese Niston River were wiped out, their strength can be fully filled.
Kant turned his head and looked back.
The hills not far away are brightly lit.
A brand new fortress is being built around the hill in a short period of time.
The 6-meter-high stone city wall encloses the entire area of 500 square meters. There are many sentry towers and arrow towers. Based on the ruling hall at the top of the most central hill, a complete defense network is arranged.
And in the surrounding wilderness, the desert robbers in a team of three were also sent out to investigate.
The defense of the entire fortress is extremely tight.
but.
What is striking is a small river flowing out of the fortress.
It is the small tributary next to Kant that flows into the Reese Niston River, but the river is only 10 meters wide, and the depth is only about 2 to 3 meters. It is just a larger stream no matter how you look at it.
But just beside this small river, there is a wooden pier nearly 100 meters long.
Many people are still busy there.
Nail the wooden pillars in the middle of the river and fix them with planks and hemp ropes.
There are also wooden pillars for boats to be tied to the shore, which show that after the successful construction of this pier, it will connect to the Reese Niston River and become a fulcrum for the prosperous business of this river.
At least right next to the river, and the Nords were pounding the ground with stones.
This is to strengthen the soil layer.
next.
It is to lay stone slabs on the reinforced soil layer.
Then the open-air warehouse will appear. No matter what goods are placed, they can be connected with the merchant ships docking at the dock very quickly, and all loading and unloading can be completed quickly, and then they drive out of this small river.
The Nords have always been excellent businessmen, and their pursuit of business is no less than their enthusiasm for fighting.
Money can win wars.
And the victory of the war will bring more money!
This is their code of conduct, which is why the Nords are keen on business and conquest.
Even becoming a pirate is better than staying at home and waiting to die. This is the aggressive culture formed by the social atmosphere of the Nords. The reason for standing firm is that they are extremely cohesive!
Even if the Nord Kingdom and the Nord land behind them were cut off due to power struggles, ordinary people continued to come to the Calradia continent, which is incomparable to the Vikiers and Kujit.
Right behind him, someone walked quickly, it was Bestur.
"What's wrong?" Kant asked.
"The supplies from Aaron have arrived." Bestur replied, "5 wagons of grain, 2 wagons of salt, and 1 wagon of honey."
"Very good." Kant nodded: "All are used as material reserves for the fortress."
"yes."
Bestur nodded.
Soon, the desert robbers behind him as messengers walked back.
"What else is there?" Kant looked at Bestur who was still behind him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "I see you are also very restless recently. Hasn't it calmed down after that battle?"
"No." Bestur smiled, with a serious look in his eyes: "My lord, since those water thieves have already said it, we can let the warship take us to the South County. There is still a Lion Castle left, which is not an obstacle at all to us."
"Well, I understand your plan."
Kant nodded.
Since they wiped out the water pirates and the tentacles of the Silver Plate Kingdom on the banks of the Resniston River 7 days ago, this Bestur, a young Kugit who is passionate about war, has already ignited his fighting spirit in his chest. flame.
They had discussed tactics before, which was to directly surprise the largest city in the Principality of Lions—Lion Heart City.
It is also the most important trading city in South County.
Capturing this place is tantamount to cutting off the economic lifeline of the Lion Principality.
And relying on the Nord warships and the tactical advantages brought by the surprise attack, coupled with the powerful combat capabilities of the Nord infantry, capturing Lionheart City is almost as easy as flipping one's palm!
It's just that Kant is still a little worried now, and has not launched a bigger offensive and completely set off a new battle.
The situation in the North County Territory is still at a stalemate.
The East County leader has just been pacified.
It would be a little indigestion for Kant if he rashly started the battle in the South County Territory.
The North County Territory has been convened to guard against the Stone Pass. A mercenary regiment of nearly 10,000 people, led by Viscount Wayne, is also under great pressure from Fatis there.
Wocheze here is adjacent to the Yinpan Kingdom and is the hub of the three forces.
The situation is even more dangerous.
Kant needed to make a choice.
