It is not just a matter of how long the Yongye Army Leader has been established, but also a matter of support.

Even with the wealth of the Kingsley family, supporting 50,000 heavy armored infantry is already the limit of what they can do.

This is the result of their accumulation over countless years.

Only lords who have actually supported heavy armored infantry will know that this thing is completely made of money.

Not to mention the heavy armor they are wearing, it is something that even ten low-income families cannot afford. Many knights of modest means want to buy a new heavy armor for themselves, and they have to sell iron for sale.

On the verge of bankruptcy, more are passed down from generation to generation.

Let’s just talk about the heavy armored infantry itself.

Those who can wear heavy armor must be strong people, which also means they can eat. Especially when training with heavy armor, one person consumes three to five times the daily food of ordinary people. Don't be too simple.

Once they become professional, not only do they have to be paid a salary, they are basically out of work and have no way to create material value for the territory.

With many first-level barons and a territory of more than ten thousand people, it is already quite impressive to be able to support a small group of heavily armored soldiers.

How many people can the Eternal Night Army Leader have now?

No matter how aggressive they are, they will never be able to arm a hundred thousand soldiers.

The leader of the Yongye Army has always shown that he is working step by step. Although their leader is young, he is horribly experienced in all aspects and should not make such a low-level mistake.

However, Akmesser still tried his best to be as careful as possible.

Akmeser's reconnaissance of the temporary camp of the Yong Ye Army leader yielded very little results. Their commander was also an extremely cautious person. He took away all the things that could be taken away, and piled up the things that could not be taken away.

Burned to the ground.

It's really hard to find useful information from a pile of burned remains.

The only gain is that Akmesel found a way for them to move quickly.

There is a small lake just five kilometers away, which can directly cut into the water network on the east bank of the Despair Swamp. After they retreated here, they took a boat directly, and Akmesser and the others couldn't pursue them even if they wanted to.

Without the cover of the Commons family battleship, the Kingsley family wading alone was simply seeking death.

According to the original plan, the Commons family fleet took the water route, and the Kingsley family pushed up along the banks of the Donau River, advancing both by land and water, until it reached the port of Brothers.

First, the Kingsley family destroyed all the giant trebuchets along the coast of Brother Port, and then the Commons family launched a full-scale attack, blocking the waterways and completely blocking the routes in and out of the Eternal Night Army, leaving the Crocodile tribe isolated and helpless. The Kingsley family then launched a full-scale attack

Attack and kill them all.

Although the process was a bit complicated and the casualties were a bit heavy, they had already completed the first step, right?

After the Eastern Expeditionary Army landed, they did not set off immediately, but waited for a large amount of supplies to be delivered.

The soldiers and horses will move forward before food and grass are moved.

The Kingsley family is now deep in the enemy's heartland. If they continue to stretch their supply lines like before, it will only take a matter of minutes for them to be robbed.

Letting him move with the army is the most correct choice.

This wait lasted another three days.

The landing site chosen by the Kingsley family is not far from Brother Port, with a straight-line distance of no more than 20 kilometers.

But when you start walking, that's not the case anymore.

Along the way, the Yong Ye Army Leader was full of surprises for them.

They used the trick that belonged to the hunters again, laying traps all along the way.

Most of these traps are not fatal, but they can injure people.

Once a heavily armored soldier injures his leg or foot, the war will basically end, and he will become an outright burden, slowing down their already slow progress.

If you pass by a place with water, you should be even more careful.

Maybe a few or even a dozen warships would appear and rain down arrows on them.

Night attacks came one after another.

There are truths and lies.

When they were careless, soldiers from the Yongye Army actually rushed out and killed them.

When they tensed their nerves, most of them were bluffing, and there were a few Yongye soldiers or Crocodile tribesmen beating gongs and drums to scare them.

It's hard to guard against the false and true, and it can take more than a dozen sessions a night, making them exhausted.

The entire army dragged on for two days over a short distance of twenty kilometers.

It's only twenty kilometers, which is really not far.

No matter how much harassment the Yongye military leaders tried, they still could not stop the Kingsley family from encircling Brother Port.

Seeing the target they were about to attack, even Akmesser, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but take a breath of air. He couldn't help but ask, did the opponent really only build this city for two years?

No wonder Akmesser has such doubts. Even if only a quarter of the Brother Port is completed, it is still majestic and frightening. Many city castles that have been built for decades or even hundreds of years are not as large as it is now.

As mentioned before, the location of Brother Port is at the intersection of a tributary of the Donau River.

The built part belongs to the lower half of the intersection.

The leader of the Yongye Army and the Crocodile Tribe cut off the entire tip of the intersection and enclosed it within Brother Port, forming an irregular triangle.

Whether it is the river bank near the Donau River in the west or the river bank near the Bazhu River in the north, they have filled it with earth and dug it deeply, turning it into a harbor for berthing ships.

Visual inspection shows that the length of these two ports is no less than five kilometers.

This is only one-third of the planned Brother Port. If it is fully built, how grand will it be?

How many ships can be berthed at one time?

However, from the perspective of geographical location, the Yongye Army Leader definitely has a strategic vision. It is not only a military chokepoint, but also an economic chokepoint.

Through the Bazhu River, they can enter the complex water network of the Despair Swamp, and all kinds of boats can travel unimpeded, and can even reach the coastal areas directly.
