The East Commander was very quiet at night.

In the distance, on the Resniston River, a fleet of boats with occasional lights marched in rows, splitting the waves and sprays, and taking advantage of the darkness to rush to the southern county of the Duchy of Lion to sell goods and buy supplies.

As the lifeblood river of human nations, this Resniston River will never be quiet.

This is a crucial channel.

In fact.

Even if the human nations go to war with each other, this river will not be blocked.

Those nobles who have caravans and have a lot of wealth, even if they fight each other's heads, will not easily touch this river, because it represents the interests of the nobles as a whole, and whoever wants to touch it will represent complete defeat.

No one will let go of the guy who breaks the rules, and he won't even leave a chance to make a comeback after a defeat.

It's even more brutal than war.

Kant understood.

All this, even if it is not an explicit rule, is no longer an unspoken rule that can explain it.

He sat on the banks of the Resneston River, right at the mouth of a tributary of the ancient passage, and by the light of the stars and moon, he looked at the vast river before him, and thought in thought.

The Resneston River, which can be said to have nurtured human civilization, has left an indelible mark on history.

But he had something else in mind.

For example.

Transporting troops to break through the defensive line and storm key strongholds.

There are also sound attacks from the east to the west, feints and attacks, all of which can be achieved with the help of this river.

Especially after he already had a naval army, mainly composed of Nords, the use of this river was no less than the use of heavy cavalry by the Swadians.

The classic example of the Nords is to take a warship and storm the shores of the Svadia kingdom.

He even broke through the former capital of the Svadia Kingdom, Sagoth, so that the forces of the Nords really set foot on the Karadia continent, and even have the ability to unify the continent!

Right now.

Kant also had Nords.

This group of born merchants, sailors, and warriors who are good at fighting.

As long as there are them, then it is possible to take a warship and directly raid the southern county of the Lion Principality.

Wait, this is not a possibility, but a reality, if Kant wants to, the nest that has now been successfully upgraded to a fortress and is still being built towards the castle can really build a group of elite sailors!

Especially after most of the water thieves on the Resniston River have been wiped out, their power is completely filled.

Kant turned his head to look back.

Not far from the hills, the lights are bright.

A brand new fortress is being built in a short period of time around the hills.

The 500-square-meter area is enclosed by a 6-meter-high stone wall, with watchtowers and arrow towers, and a well-established defensive network based on the Consulate Hall at the top of the central hill.

And in the surrounding wilderness, the desert bandits with a team of 3 people were also scattered to investigate.

The entire fortress was extremely well defended.

But.

The striking thing is the small river that flows out of the Seyne.

It is a small tributary of the Resniston River next to Kant, but the river is only 10 meters wide and about 2 to 3 meters deep, so it is only a large stream.

But just on the side of this small river, there is a wooden pier nearly 100 meters long.

A lot of people are still busy there.

Wooden pillars were nailed into the river and fixed with planks and hemp rope.

There are also wooden pillars for ships to tie up when they dock, suggesting that the wharf will be connected to the Reston River and become a fulcrum for the river's thriving commerce.

At least on the side of the river, there are Nords smashing stones on the ground.

This is to strengthen the soil layer.

Next.

It is to lay the stone slab on the reinforced soil layer.

Then the open-air warehouse will appear, and whatever goods are placed can be quickly connected with the merchant ships docked at the dock, whether it is loading and unloading, it can be completed quickly, and then sail out of the small river.

The Nords have always been excellent merchants, and they are as interested in commerce as they are in combat.

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 if you become a pirate and a bandit, it is better than eating and waiting for death at home, this is the aggressive culture composed of the social atmosphere of the Nords, and it is also why the kingdom of the Nords can gain a foothold in the Calradia continent in a short period of time, that is, it is extremely cohesive!

Even though the Nord Kingdom and the Nord Mainland behind them were cut off due to the struggle for power, ordinary people kept coming to the Calradia continent, which was incomparable to both the Wikiians and the Kujits.

Just behind him, someone walked briskly, it was Bestur.

"What's wrong?" Kant asked.

"Supplies from Aaron have arrived." "Five wagons of grain, two wagons of salt, and one wagon of honey were brought in," Besture replied. ”

"Good." Kant nodded: "All as a reserve of supplies for the fortress." ”

"Yes."

Besture nodded.

Soon, the desert bandits, who were heralds behind him, walked back.

"What else?" Kant looked at Besture still behind him, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Recently, I see that you are also very restless, haven't you calmed down after that battle?" ”

"Nope." Bestur smiled, with Sen Ran in his eyes: "My lord, since those water thieves have already said it, we can completely let the warship take us to the Southern County Territory, as long as we capture Lionheart City, even if there is still a Lion Fort left, it will not be an obstacle for us at all." ”

"Well, I understand your plan."

Kant nodded.

Ever since they had wiped out the tentacles of the water thieves and the Silverplate Kingdom on the banks of the Restiston River seven days earlier, the flames of fighting spirit had burned in the chest of this Bestul, a young man of Kugit who was keen on war.

They had discussed tactics before, which was to directly attack Lionheart, the largest city in the Lion Principality.

It is also the most important trading city in the southern county.

To capture this place is to cut off the economic lifeline of the Duchy of Lion.

And relying on the Nord warships, the tactical advantage brought by the surprise attack, and the strong combat ability of the Nord infantry, the capture of Lionheart City is almost as easy as a snap!

It's just that Kant is still a little worried, and he did not launch a bigger offensive and completely set off a new campaign.

The situation in the Northern Commandery is still deadlocked.

The Eastern Commander has just been pacified.

If he rashly starts the battle situation in the southern county territory, it will be a little indigestion for Kant.

At the strongstone pass, it is necessary to guard against the fact that the Northern County Commander has been assembled, with Viscount Wayne as the main body, a mercenary group of nearly 10,000 people, and the pressure on Fatis there is also very heavy.

The Woche here, adjacent to the Yinpan Kingdom, is the key point of the three forces.

The situation is even more dangerous.

Kant had a choice to make.
