"In a word, we have no money now. We have used the treasury accumulated over the years. We must end this war as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer it takes, the smaller our chance of success will be."

Akmesser still clearly remembers the helplessness and embarrassment he felt when Archduke Buck, the current head of the Kingsley family and leader of the Carter Army, said these words to him.

Who would have thought that the Kingsley family, which is famous for its wealth, would one day face financial crisis.

Believe it or not, the fact was placed in front of Akmesser, which could support the arrogant Archduke Buck, indicating that the financial crisis of the Kingsley family has reached a very serious level, far exceeding the dignity of Archduke Buck.

, Akmeiser even suspected that the Kingsley family's financial deficit was more serious than what Archduke Buck said, and that the pressure on the other party was greater than he imagined.

At least Akmesser's enemies are now clearly visible, and he only needs to think about how to defeat them.

The enemies faced by Archduke Buck are dormant in the dark, and no one knows what methods they will use.

Nowadays, the military strength of the Carter military leaders is extremely powerful, and the private unions organized voluntarily by the mine slaves have become extremely active one by one.

Fortunately, Akmeser was decisive enough when facing the situation after the remnants of the slave rebel army retreated, and sorted out the unrest factors. He killed those who could and chopped down those who could. Now, the evil reputation is still there, and those rebel forces,

I couldn't organize myself for a while, and I didn't dare to show my face easily.

No matter which way you look at it, this battle must be won quickly.

No matter how powerful the leader of the Yongye Army is, he cannot change God's will, at least not yet.

Whether they want it or not.

The first comprehensive snowfall in the Swamp of Despair has arrived.

And it lasted for three days at a time.

The pattering at first was just rain and sleet, which melted as soon as it hit the ground.

The next day it started to turn into light snow, which barely covered the ground.

On the third day, it turned into heavy snow. It only fell for half a day, and everything inside and outside Brother Port was covered with a layer of heavy snow one foot thick.

The elders of the crocodile tribe couldn't help but curse out bad luck.

In their words, this is definitely a heavy snowfall that has not happened in Despair Swamp for a hundred years. Even if it snowed before, it would be very remarkable if it could cover the ground.

Eighty percent of it is the abnormal weather caused by the weather changes in the Swamp of Despair in the past few years. The Kingsley family is just unlucky.

It’s not cold when it snows, it’s cold when it melts.

When the snow stops and the sun comes out, the real cold comes.

However, Akmesser did not wait for the coldest moment to arrive. After confirming that the Danube River was covered with a thin layer of ice, the Kingsley family launched a full-scale attack.

In a true all-out attack, they were all present on the long defense line of Brother Port City. In the vast white snow, they were like floods.

When the snow continued to fall, the Yongye army leaders mobilized their troops and prepared their troops vigorously, waiting for the Kingsley family's full-scale attack.

The first thing that started to attack was the siege equipment of both sides.

"Prepare all the large trebuchets, load the black powder barrels, and release them!"

"Prepare all the large trebuchets, load the black powder barrels, and release them!"

"Prepare all the large trebuchets, load the black powder barrels, and release them!"

The orders on the walls of Brother Port are uniform.

Countless special ammunition soared into the sky.

The goal is very clear.

The mound where the Kingsleys mounted their siege engines.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the billowing smoke, there was a loud sound of landslides and ground cracking.

"What's going on? Why is it snowing and thundering?"

"It's not thunder, it's the attack from the leader of the Yongye Army. With the True God above, how can manpower achieve this level? This is the roar of the True God. The True God is angry. The leader of the Yongye Army has been blessed by the True God. There is no way to fight this battle.

, let’s find a way to escape!”

"Shut up, you are disturbing the morale of the army. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will be dragged out and beheaded."

"The Andis people are out-and-out savages. The Holy See doesn't even bother to send missionaries. Even if the true God comes, he is still on our side."

"It's not the wrath of the true god, so what was it just now?"

"How do I know what it is? It's definitely not the true God's anger!"

"No, the mound where we installed the siege equipment collapsed, and most of the siege equipment was damaged."

"Hell, how can we attack a city without the cover of long-range siege equipment?"

The world seemed to be shaking. This extraordinary explosion caused the Kingsley family's siege soldiers to flip over. They couldn't help but stop and looked at each other for a while. This kind of attack shook even the mounds.

If it collapses, what will happen if it falls on someone?

Just thinking about it makes people shudder and fear fills their hearts.

"The one who attacked our food line earlier was indeed the leader of the Yongye Army." This was Grand Duke Buck's first reaction after hearing the familiar sound.

He would never forget this loud noise. If it hadn't been for the ancient artifact Golden Armor, he would have been blown into pieces, and all his plans and dreams would have been in vain.

"These guys actually have some tricks up their sleeves." This was Akmeser's first reaction.

For the sake of safety, when Akmesser set up the mound of siege equipment, he retreated tens of meters beyond the maximum range displayed by the leader of the Yongye Army to prevent fraud.

In the end, he still underestimated the cunning and forbearance of the Yongye military leader.

They would rather endure the Kingsley family's indiscriminate bombardment for more than half a month, with several sections of the city wall being smashed to the point of being in danger, and they would rather hold back until they launch a full-line attack, and then launch a fatal attack on their siege equipment.

Without giving the Kingsley family any time to react, the leader of the Yongye Army returned the energy of the bombing that he had suffered during this period to the Kingsley family intact.

In less than an hour, 80% of the Kingsley family's siege equipment was destroyed. The mound platform they had built up with so much time and effort was also blown up by four to five meters.

Even if the Kingsley family still has spare siege equipment, they won't be able to use it in a short period of time.

The offensive and defensive situation at this moment has once again changed to what it was before.

The Kingsley family's long-range firepower was almost zero, and they had to endure the indiscriminate bombardment from the Yong Ye army leader and rush towards the city wall.

The only good news is that due to the relatively slow water flow, the moat of Brother Port has become frozen solid. The fleet led by the Yongye Army cannot enter. They have one less line of defense to overcome.

"Report to the Marshal that all our trebuchets have been destroyed and we are no longer able to provide long-range support."

"We worked overnight to repair it, set up protective barriers, and transport new siege equipment."

"Report to the marshal that the enemy's long-range firepower is too strong. The soldiers in front suffered heavy casualties and cannot charge forward."

"Rush again."

Akmesser had a cold face and showed no intention of stopping the attack.

If you want to take advantage of the weather, you must race against time.

Who knows when the next severe cold will come after this heavy snow?

What if after these few days, the rest is a warm winter?

The Kingsley family doesn't have time to stay here for another year.

What we are fighting for now is just these few days, and we can no longer take care of the casualties.

The soldiers of the Kingsley family were like a tide, one after another, coming towards Brother Port.

Huge boulders and arrows were flying all over the sky.

Shouting and screaming in unison.

Blood and corpses were everywhere.

One kilometer outside the city wall of Brother Port has turned into a hell on earth.

At first, the Kingsley family's siege team couldn't even touch the city wall of Brother Port, and then they got closer and closer. Until now, there were brave soldiers who were not afraid of death. They followed the ladder to the top of the city and had to use it. Close combat troops defending the city.

It's not that the soldiers of the Kingsley family have suddenly become stronger, but that the soldiers of the Yongye army and the Alligator tribe have all been rotated. They are exhausted and the frequency of bow shooting is obviously not as high as before.

Many soldiers, even with the help of bow and arrow finger pullers, still collapsed with blood due to pulling the string too frequently.

Even the bow strings and ropes of the city defense equipment, which are known for their stability and reliability, have been replaced several times.

In other words, they are now tired of killing people.

But imagine how frequent the Kingsley family's attacks were, and how terrifying the number of corpses piled up under the city was.

The Kingsley family is now using wheel tactics to maximize their numerical advantage.

"kill!"

After a short rest, the Kingsley family army came forward again with great force.

This time not only were more siege equipment used, but the cannon fodder was also mixed with a large number of armored soldiers, and the regular army of the Kingsley family was dispatched.

"It's time." Dikron nodded gently to Sean.

Sean nodded clearly and said to the messenger: "Inform the generals to activate the first set of defense plans."

As the order was passed down, the beacon fire rose.
