When the supply fleet from Degen Port arrived at the port of White Sands, it immediately caused a sensation.

The crew and army that stayed behind happily welcomed the brothers from their hometown.

A large amount of supplies were unloaded, including even a hundred-man team and some slaves.

Then the fleet will rest here for two days and then return.

They will leave a gunboat and several cargo ships to improve the transportation and guard force of White Sand Port.

The next leg of transportation is the task of White Sand Port itself.

They only need to deliver the supplies to the next supply port.

However, for the Southern Chamber of Commerce that monitors the port, this result is very unacceptable.

Knight George, who is in charge of this supply point, heard the report from the monitoring ship and smashed his favorite red coral ornaments.

"Where is Jones? Didn't he ask him to intercept the Yankees?"

This is a task from the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce. How dare that stinky pirate be so lazy?

Although Knight George is just a down-and-out knight, he still stands at the top of the contempt chain when facing pirates like Captain Jones.

"Send someone to find Jones, the scumbag, and tell the headquarters that I will definitely file a complaint against him."

After a roar, Knight George could only be furious and could not do anything else.

It's okay to scold Jones, a low-class person, but to fight the northerners with real swords and guns? He didn't dare.

It's not that there is absolutely no chance of winning. In fact, he looked down on the northerners. Do you really think that building a port will make you safe?

What he feared was the other party's subsequent reaction. It was easy to occupy this port, but then what?

If you anger the northerners, your family is still in Locke Kingdom. Do you want to reimburse the entire household registration book?

In Baisha Port, the location of the first berth was very clever, right on the edge of a cliff.

During the days of waiting, the slaves of Baisha Port had built several fortifications on the cliff.

The cement made by the native method was laid layer by layer, and at the bottom was a whole big stone.

Then six cannons were pulled down from the merchant ship.

The craftsmen installed the cannons in the fortifications, and even thought of the possible counterattack of the other party.

From the beginning, the fort was built according to high standards.

Anyway, the work is done with black tools, so it doesn't matter if you die of exhaustion.

The new centurion team was stationed directly near the fort, and the gunners were in place.

After firing a few shots tentatively, the knight who lost an arm grinned.

"Good stuff, with these treasures, I'm not afraid of more people coming."

As a disabled knight, he has seen big scenes.

He is not afraid of sacrifice, but he is afraid of delaying the Duke's business.

Now it's good, there are artillery, but if there are no ten times more ships and people, don't think about attacking.

It's not that he looks down on these guys on the sea, he really doesn't have the strength.

It's extremely difficult to organize a legion of 10,000 people on land, and it's even more difficult on the sea.

A stable stronghold is already invincible.

The captain is also a knight from the North, and the two naturally feel close.

Hearing this, he glanced at the empty sleeves of the senior and said, "This knight, the current artillery production is limited, and the Little Duke-class gunboats are in the greatest demand. I will bring you a few more artillery next time."

"That's great. I'll treat you to seafood today. This thing is not common in my hometown."

"No, no, no, I almost vomited after eating it, and there's nothing delicious."

"Hahaha, then have a drink with me to get rid of the moisture."

………

The southern nobles suffered a big loss and didn't understand it. The army from Augusta's territory was already marching in the wind and snow.

There is no war in winter, which is almost an iron rule tacitly accepted by everyone.

This is due to various factors, including the soldiers' tolerance.

Without fighting, naturally even the reconnaissance and intelligence work will be put down.

When the nobles invited by the Duke returned to the territory, winter had begun to gradually pass.

The soldiers of the Holy Cross Kingdom were still huddled in the barracks, and the occasional patrol missions were regarded as torture by the soldiers.

In this case, Leopold's soldiers were quietly arrived at the reserved location.

Derek left Swan Castle secretly, without even taking the Knights with him.

The general troop movements could be concealed by the winter wind and snow, but the movement of the Knights would immediately attract attention.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of elite troops in the army, and it was not difficult to temporarily mobilize a force.

Intelligence from the Holy Cross Kingdom began to gather.

People with tasks like Viscount Yanes did not move for the time being.

Baron Balin was very active, and his messengers traveled between the two places, revealing all the military deployments of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

This was partly helped by his father, and partly he figured it out himself.

For his own future, he even deceived Earl Connor.

So much so that His Excellency the Sword of God thought it was just a simple leak of information, and the leak was limited.

"The armies of local nobles are scattered, mostly around their own territories. It's still winter now, so no one will run around.

They are numerous, but we don't need to worry about them for now.

There are two main targets. One is the private army of the Bruno family, which is directly sent by the king as a frontline reserve.

The second is the regular army of the Holy Cross Kingdom, which is stationed here... here... these important locations."

Derrick marked the positions of all the Holy Cross troops on the map.

Interestingly, the position of the royal private army is close to the middle line of defense, not far back at all.

On the contrary, Count Connor's army has distinct layers and echoes from front to back.

That is, it takes into account the width of the defense line and arranges strategic depth.

If you arbitrarily break into the opponent's defense line, the front and back armies echo each other, plus the local noble army, it will definitely be a big trouble.

Although Count Connor and the local nobles are very cautious in private, once they go deep into the kingdom, everyone will stick to the bottom line.

They know where their capital is. Only by defending it can they have the capital to negotiate with Rockman.

But now, the cold winter has caused flaws in this defense line.

Lines have now become points.

The reality that has not been extended can no longer form a network.

"Cut, advance, and then divide."

Derek drew a road line, which just tore the arrangement of the Holy Cross.

"First kill the private army of the Bruno family, and then hinder the kingdom army under Count Connor. Those nobles naturally know the wind direction."

Derek set the tone for the war.

Then the officers perfected the plan, which army would move and complete which tasks.

How to make up for the unexpected, when to launch the attack.

These cumbersome plans and orders were dismantled one by one, and each army only needed to follow the instructions.

When the wind and snow stopped and the weather was good, Derek finally moved.

The army of the Holy Cross Kingdom has not yet awakened from the long winter, and inertia maintains the previous behavior pattern.

But the army from Leopold has passed through the loophole and headed straight for the destination.

The army responsible for sniping is in place, and the superior force has reached the target.

Baron Barin also appeared in the barracks, accompanying his old father.

Although no one came to attack here, there should be no danger.

His purpose was actually to influence Earl Connor's reaction.
