Chapter 180 The Fishman Army (1 update)
The thick city wall is 4 meters wide, enough for two rows of fully armed soldiers to fight in formation.

The top of the city wall is covered with eaves supported by shelves.

This is to block the moonlight at night.

Matthew never places his hope on default rules.

On the circular city wall.

There are 8 bastions protruding outwards, with staggered teeth.

There are three-story buildings built on the bastion, with shooting ports all over it, and heavy crossbows are placed here.

It can not only isolate the enemy's long-range and crossbow attacks, but also suppress the shooting without restraint.

At the top of the bastion, there is also a towering observation tower.

There is a wall outside to block the enemy's view.

Behind the wall, there is a second row of walls standing, a circular urn city, blocking behind the three city gates.

The 1st row of walls is lost, and there is a stronger 2nd row!
Even the underground has made full preparations.

Thanks to the excellent digging ability of the kobolds, the newly built wall actually has a foundation nearly ten meters deep.

Only then did Matthew understand why Pfizer built the castle here.

Looking at the entire area within 10 kilometers nearby, only the narrow roads and the hills here have solid ground.

The rest is all soft mud.

If you want to build a camp or building in the mud, you can understand it just by looking at how unlucky the Carlisle family team is.

Although there are still many areas that need to be improved, and the detailed work will take at least two months, it can already play a defensive role.

Take the 500 soldiers stationed at the Murloc camp as an example.

Matthew believed that they could hold off the attack of more than 3000 elite troops and hold on for several months without falling.

With heavy crossbows and teleportation array supplies, it can even severely damage attacking enemies!
As long as the enemy cannot remove the murloc castle, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to cross the vast misty swamp and attack the Gulf Territory.

It is precisely because of this that Matthew is ready to fight with the Carlisle family.

The appearance of the Gulf Territory was too sudden. Even though it had the reputation of "solving" the Mahogany Chamber of Commerce before, it was all based on rumors.

For other lords and nobles, it does not have much deterrence.

For example, the Carlisle family in front of us!

If the Gulf Territory wants to gain a foothold here and spread a greater reputation, and prepare for Wei Matthew's follow-up plan, it must deal with these provocative guys one by one.

Let’s start with the Carlisle family!
this night.

In the Carlisle family camp.

Some soldiers plugged their ears and slept soundly. This was to prevent the Gulf Territory from harassing them at night.

There were also some soldiers who were gathered together and hidden at the entrance of the camp.

However, just like a few days ago, your soldiers came over and harassed them, but in the end they still did not launch an attack.

These soldiers were quite helpless and felt a little headache at the Gulf Territory's dirty tactics.

Many people were dejected and felt unspeakably aggrieved.

However, no one dares to go out and launch an attack!

Brown rubbed his eyebrows, hesitated for a while and then continued:
"Inform all soldiers that we will be able to dig out the entrance to the ruins in 10 days at most."

"Everyone, please hold on a little longer. As long as the ruins are taken care of, I will definitely lead everyone to avenge and retaliate!"

The officers naturally heard what Brown meant, their eyes lit up, and they quickly explained to their soldiers.

The soldiers who were already holding their breath had ferocious expressions on their faces, obviously very interested in Brown's "proposal".

Most of the time, they were soldiers of nobles.

But these days, who hasn’t started a side job yet?The soldiers of the Carlisle family spent another difficult night.

Early morning on day 2.

Brown rubbed his red eyes and waved the impatient soldiers to rest.

He couldn't sleep yet, and a group of soldiers who had rested last night had to be arranged to guard him.

The Gulf Territory may not dare to launch a frontal attack, but maybe what tricks will it use?

To judge others by oneself, Brown felt that it was better for him to be more vigilant.

After a while, a shrill sound broke through the air above the camp.

The harassment from the Gulf Territory soldiers has apparently started again!

What Brown didn't know was that Matthew had never been interested in them!
About 50 kilometers away from the Fisherman's Castle, a convoy of about 2000 people was preparing to set off.

The person leading the team is the Hawk Knight of the Carlisle family.

As a high-ranking knight loyal to the Carlisle family, Hawke has nearly 20 years of experience in delivering supplies and manpower.

Whether in the dangerous northern wilderness, the mountains of Falsico in the south, or even the flat meadows of Locke, he has left his mark.

He is also deeply trusted by the Carlisle family because of his steady behavior.

Not only did they invest considerable resources in cultivating his strength, but they also gave him the title of knight and his own manor.

Hawke is no stranger to the Misty Swamp.

The Carlisle family also had several small ruins in the past, which were excavated in the misty swamp.

In his opinion, there is not much danger in the Misty Swamp. Apart from the smell, it is basically a relatively easy journey.

As long as you are careful about the giant crocodiles in the misty swamp, there will be no casualties.

The only thing that caused Hawke some criticism was that there were no resting spots on the entire Misty Swamp road.

Especially last night, Hawke had to lead people to spend the night in the temporary camp built in the previous trips.

Fortunately, there were no attacks at night, except for those annoying fishmen.

Putting on the polished chainmail that had been maintained, he put on another layer of armor with the help of his attendants. After checking, he walked out of the tent.

The smell of cooking food came, mixed with the stench of the swamp.

Hawke just frowned. He could still tolerate this level. Looking at the somewhat lazy guards and cart drivers, he shouted without hesitation:
"Hurry up, we have a heavy task today."

"After delivering the supplies to the camp, we have to rush back here to rest!"

"There are no goods to bring back on this trip, so everyone will feel much more relaxed..."

The familiar guard soldiers spread his words while using their feet and whips to remind those who were still lazy.

About half an hour later, the transport team had breakfast and set off again.

They slowly left the temporary camp and entered the surging fog little by little.

Hawke and others had no idea. Many pairs of eyes had already spotted their movements.

Seeing them getting into the fog, they rushed into the empty temporary camp screaming "Wow!"

Soon, a "cracking" fire appeared.

The blazing flames spread out in all directions.

The billowing smoke rose into the sky, but was shrouded in the rolling fog, unknown to anyone, and disappeared.

About half an hour into the march, Hawke, who was leading the team in front, suddenly pulled his horse back and stared in disbelief at the figure rushing out of the fog in front of him.

Countless fishmen!
As you look around, there are countless!
This was extremely ridiculous when Hawke came over. The moment he pulled out his sword, only one thought flashed through his mind:
"Where are the scouts who went to explore the road?"

　Ask for a follow-up order, ask for a monthly ticket!
