In the next two centuries, the residents who were harassed by the nomads in the northwest moved here one after another, and the first governor--Earl of Clearwater was born here.

With the rise of the Rodenk Kingdom, Clear Water City gradually became a center of trade and military affairs.After the first Grand Duke Violet inherited the title of Earl of Clear Water, he began to establish a business station for duty-free business, and the city on the water gradually began to expand.

The economy brought about by the rich trade has made this place bigger and bigger.Several North-South wars have gradually consolidated the position here.

Now on the Long Island, it has been divided into five areas by the interspersed Gulf Stream, and this huge Clear Water City encompasses these five areas together.

To the north of the city is its natural moat, and to the south is its huge port.In human wars, keeping this city is mainly about keeping water.And as long as the surrounding Acropolis is still there, any army that wants to attack this place directly will be attacked by the river and water.

Clear Water City and the surrounding counties where the Acropolis is located formed an extremely complicated environment.Politics with border countries is also delicate.

To some extent, it can be said that this is the Jingzhou of the Rodenk Kingdom.

And the city at the core is the unsinkable ship of the Rodenk Kingdom, and also a throat between north and south, and east and west.

In this battle of the Kuroshio, neighboring countries have come here to support, and the three countries have never stood together so concertedly.This makes it look like an impregnable city.

And for those zombies, it is even more difficult to break through this floating city by themselves than breaking through Wing Feng City.Because it is in the south of the sub-frigid zone, no matter how cold the weather is, the river will not freeze.

The troops stationed here only need to guard the city wall to the north.The city is safe and sound.The troops in the city travel by boat, and they can attack the Kuroshio in the north from various positions.

It can be said that even if all the acropolis in the northeast direction fell, it would be easy to defend the entire city-state of clear water—the zombies would not even be able to cross the turbulent moat.

But on the majestic city wall on the north side, there are now many scorched spots, some are traces left by the fire of war, and some are slowly blackened by burning corpses later.

At this time, several suspension bridges have been put down at several city gates in the north, connecting with several bridges on the moat.Lots of vehicles passed by in an endless stream, but many of the vehicles were not loaded with cargo, but mud and corpses.

On both sides of the moat, people's heads surged, and countless laborers were busy there.There is still a lot of burning things on this side of the river bank.

"Master Wallace, why is there no water in this moat?" Looking at the moat in the distance, George frowned.He confirmed again and again that he should have seen it right—it seemed that there were two huge gates at the two ends of the city.This river has been blocked.And the laborers seem to be expanding this natural moat!

"Everyone used to think that the river was a bit wide, so each generation of Grand Duke Violet organized people to fill both ends of the river every year. But now everyone thinks it is narrow." Wallace stroked the beard on his chin , looking at the things fished out from the bottom of the moat, he couldn't help sighing and said: "It's been half a year since the Battle of Clear Water City ended, but the corpses in the river silt are still not cleaned up yet."

The young man who followed George also sighed: "There has never been such a cold winter before."

Seeing George's gaze turned, 'John Siwan' explained: "My lord, remember that it was still winter when my father and I first came here, and the moat was half frozen at that time, and the center of the river was full of frozen corpses. The entire river had already been filled with corpses. At that time, the corpses near the city wall had piled up almost as high as the city wall. They piled up with the ice and snow, forming a slope. The monsters stepped lightly on the mountain of burning corpses. With a light leap, he jumped onto the city wall."

That scene reappeared in the mind of 'Siwang': "It was snowing at that time, and there were burning fires everywhere around the city. The wind, snow and ashes mixed together, covering the sky."

'Si Wang' is the illegitimate son of the viscount. They were the first group of people to arrive in the coalition army, and they followed the Thorn Bird troops and participated in that battle.

Siwan, most of the illegitimate children in the eastern part of Elda, will have this surname—there is beautiful water and mountains, and many areas are related to "swans", and the surname "Siwang" is also related to swans.

Siwang, who has experienced that battle, can be regarded as a veteran.And only the lord who had experienced that battle like his father would have the courage to stand up at the most critical moment.Leave a chance to live for your son and His Royal Highness the Prince.

Because Siwan had a lot of experience in the battle of the Kuroshio and was about the same age as Aji, George always reminded George of the little John who was following behind him, so he often called this brave knight to the team Ahead, let's talk a few words.

At that time, when John's coalition of nobles arrived here, the heroes who guarded the city had already resisted for 49 consecutive days in this final battle.

Therefore, the natural geographical advantage for it has long since ceased to exist.

At the beginning, the soldiers who rushed out of the river broke through the water again and again. Afterwards, no one was able to get down to the city, and the river ice was burned several times through fires.But as the battle spread, the north side was completely filled with corpses, and a terrifying mountain of corpses was piled up in front of the city wall.

That day, Grand Duke Yongfeng stood at the forefront of the city wall, his tall body was carrying the banner of 'Windsinger', and he was holding a warhammer tightly in his hand.And behind him is the future of the entire Rodunk Kingdom!

He was already exhausted after seven days of sleepless nights. Perhaps it was because of this belief that he, and the entire army he led, persisted until now.

Therefore, in the minds of all the people who experienced the siege, it was not the Thorn Bird who became the God of the Battle of Clear Water, but this Grand Duke Adeline.

This made 'Adeline Wharton Winsinger' a candidate for the throne of Narotunk as a person with a foreign surname.

Even the 'Phillips Delondakens' who asked for help, persuaded and led the noble coalition to return, had to admit that perhaps 'Adeline' should lead Rodunk's future.

('Wensinger' is translated into the common language as 'Wind Singer'. The first builder of the city was the first generation of Wind Singer Grand Duke. After the completion of the Wind Singer City, the Grand Duke changed his original surname to 'Wind Song' '.'Dakens' is the name of the first king of Rodunk, and later the capital of Rodenk and the surname of the royal family are all called by this.)

But it was this Grand Duke Yongfeng who turned the tide, and finally elected his best friend to the throne with his own hands, and he served as the "Hand of the King"—that is, the prime minister of the newly formed royal court.

Rodunk's spine and mind are connected together, and the belief of the Rodunk nobleman thousands of years ago was regained on that day-as long as Adeline and Phillips are there, the kingdom will exist!

It is said that now, Grand Duke Adeline has moved all of her family into Clear Water City. On the one hand, she expressed her firmest support to His Majesty, and on the other hand, she expressed her determination to defend it to the death.

After hearing this story from 'Si Wang', George re-acquainted with the Grand Duke Yongfeng who had been hacked many times by him, and his position in his heart also turned upside down.

George sometimes wondered.Perhaps it was precisely because of the guarding war that Grand Duke Adeline, a staunch 'defender', finally compromised with Phillips, a 'battle faction'-maybe blindly defending really couldn't stop the Kuroshio Outside the city of clear water

This can't help but remind him of the valley surrounded by mountains. Compared with this place, it probably doesn't have such a big advantage.And the big city wall that is being built is not comparable to the copper and iron walls built by the city-state of Clear Water over the centuries.

Blind defense is definitely not enough, and at critical moments, some external forces are needed to help behind the Kuroshio.

The Campbell family is considered one, following the Danube River in the valley to the south, and the junction of the Danube River and the "Senus Long River" in the outer south of the valley is the hinterland of this family.A lot of materials flow into the valley through the two rivers, one big and one small.

The princes in the west and the south of the west can no longer be referred to. At that time, these areas had been submerged by the part of the black tide heading west.But to the south of the long river of Senas in the south of the Western Territory, there are many territories of the Kingdom of Eldar.These places border on the west of Rodenk, and are mostly composed of mountains, lakes, and swamps.Coupled with the endlessly flowing Senas River, it is inconvenient for many monsters to cross.At least in the early stage of the Kuroshio, as long as the army of the Eldar Kingdom guards some key areas, then by virtue of these geographical advantages and the containment of the valley, the Kuroshio can be resisted in the western border.

At the same time, as long as these lords dare to muster up the courage to cross the long river to the north, they can attack and harass the hinterland of the Kuroshio in the western region.This will provide great pressure relief for the Valley.

If Valley and its allies can cooperate well in the west before the black tide in the east penetrates deep into the hinterland, Valley and the kingdom of Eldar will survive for a long time.And if the Valley and the Eldar Kingdom can accumulate enough power before the fall of the Landry Kingdom, they will have the opportunity to counterattack the western border, preventing the main force of the Kuroshio in the east from advancing and retreating, and sharing great pressure for the southern countries.

Of course, this is the best case scenario.If the main force of the Kuroshio southward attack poured into the plain south of the Clear Water City, it would be unstoppable all the way south.Then, in the continuous spread, the entire eastern part of Landry and Eldar Kingdom would be submerged.At that time, what the valley had to consider was not only to guard the valley entrance on the side of the Wind City, but also to consider how to guard the south of the valley between the plain in the southwest of the Ratland and the Danube before the fall of the Kingdom of Eldar. Here comes the Kuroshio

The blood moon is approaching, and Clear Water City is doomed to fall.The only thing that can be done now is to reduce the nutrients of the Kuroshio.

And in this entire city-state of clear water, there are millions of people, and gold diggers from various countries in the south are still gathering here.

Before this city gate, what George saw was full of merchants laden with goods and treasures, a team of nobles, and wandering warblers who wanted to enter the city to make a fortune every day.The entire trading city has become more vibrant with this war.

If the lords who poured into the city were like Adeline's Iron Wall Knights, then the Clearwater City-State might still have a chance.But after seeing these 'star teams' among them, George has no illusions about the place.

"Boss Adeline, I'm a little more negative than you think. If the millions of people around this city-state of clear water are all turned into the nutrients of the Kuroshio, they will all stop eating."

George felt it was time to meet the Grand Duke.

But in the end what to talk about, we have to meet and see.

The order in Clear Water City is much stricter than that in Fallen Leaf City, George and his team don't have the chance to show off at all this time.

However, because Wallace had already dispatched two 'guardian knights' to inform the city in advance on the way, someone was waiting outside the city to welcome the team.

The leader is called 'Count Fernando'. Before Phillips was enthroned, he was a confidant. He was mainly responsible for the business and economy of this land, and he was a very powerful person.Because he is well-informed and has contacts all over the world.When Phillips called for help, he did his best.So now he has become an important minister in the royal court - if there is no Grand Duke Yongfeng, he must be the prime minister.

Basically, most of the nobles who came to the city-state of clear water knew him, so he would show up when the king and the king's hand were not showing up.

"His Royal Highness Robert, Father Wallace, Miss Tanya, and all the lords, the 'Prime Minister' asked me to take him to express my sincere greetings and apologies. Originally, he planned to meet him in person, but because of a temporary emergency, I can only go first. Come—come with us, please."

On the way, Udland mentioned to George that in the outer city of Clearwater City, there were several barracks specially prepared for the defenders. After the coalition forces came, the Duke divided several areas around there.After the lords and mercenaries from various places came, these places were expanded again.Enough to house 30 people.

Because of the plague, all the troops will be stationed there after they return, so they should go there first.

In addition, outsiders without a 'seal' will temporarily stay there for a period of time before officially entering the city.And the church is also nearby—in fact, this area close to the barracks and guarded by soldiers to maintain order has already been counted as a quarantine area.
