Section 16
"Stand down. β
While waving his hand to rebuke Don Wright, he stood up and picked up the crumpled map that Don Wright had just put down, glanced at it and handed it to Anse Zora, and re-placed the confrontation mark on the battle map of Suk City.
"These two pieces of information were deliberately placed in front of us. Anse Zora whispered a reminder after Don Wright left.
"I know... Our opponents want to disrupt my thoughts and make us hesitate to attack Sukh City. Pedi seemed calm, and his casual tone made his confidence palpable to outsiders.
Ans-Zora glanced earnestly at the young king in front of him, but remained silent.
"How's McGonagall Tano doing?" Pedi abruptly shifted the subject, as the thought of these two pieces of information made his head ache even harder.
"A few more days..."
"Try to keep him a little longer. β
"Count McGonagall Tano has an unrivalled reputation among the citizens of Souk, and the city council's propaganda power is too powerful to verbally attack him, and his speeches over the past two days have helped us to stabilize the chaotic situation in the various districts. Anse Zora casually placed the crumpled map in his hand in the stack of papers in the filing cabinet next to him, "Now, we are completely free to attack the inner city walls. β
"What do you think of the information provided by MIA?" Pedi stopped fiddling with the logo in his hand and looked at Anse Zora and suddenly turned the subject back to Feld Collar, who had been avoiding it before, "Can the elves withstand the massive attack of the undead army?"
"I want to... It shouldn't be too much of a problem in the short term. Anse Zora replied cautiously, and after that, he paused and thought for more than ten seconds before continuing: "We still have an army of 100,000 orcs in the north, and if the war led by Feld is tight, Shikan-Silveraxe should not sit idly by, after all, if the elves are defeated, we will lose the initiative in the war against the undead legions." β
"I hope so. Pedi nodded in agreement with Anse Zora's opinion, "The undead legion has a stronger mobilization ability than ours, and if Minnie Knight's intelligence is accurate, the undead legion may launch a large-scale attack on Feld Territory in half a month at most." β
"We need to end the war on the Suker Plains as soon as possible and gather a stronger army!" Pedi pointed to the location of the Lion Fort on the map, "It is not an easy matter to capture the heavily guarded Lion Fort in half a month. "And after the capture of Suk City, we will have to deal with the aftermath of the war, and the raging undead in the north will also need to be cleared." β
"Someone has set up a bureau," Anse-Zora thought with a frown, "Her Highness Penny and we are both under this man's calculations, and the real purpose of the person who set up the bureau is the elven army led by Feld. β
Anse Zora's slightly solemn words made Pedi's scalp tingle, and he remembered the scene of the huge undead army heading south to flood the elven kingdom when the Suk Plains was in chaos.
"Do you have any good advice?" asked Pedy.
"End the negotiations in Tyre as soon as possible, concentrate on taking Suk City, and control the entire Suk Plain. Anse Zora replied quickly, "If the Elven Kingdom needs help when we are consolidating the forces of the Suk Plains, I suggest that we want to do it immediately. β
The sound of a knock on the door interrupts Peddy as he is about to think about Anse Zora's suggestion, and when Peddy casts a slightly annoyed look, the door is pushed open and Minnie Vatu returns.
The door was carefully closed by Minnie Wattle, and then walked briskly to the king's side.
"Your Majesty, the latest news... The undead army led by Felder suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the army of the Elven Kingdom. Minnie Vatu spoke in a low voice.
"How fast?" said Pedy's face changed slightly, and he froze in place.
"When, exactly?" asked Anse Zola.
"Four o'clock in the morning this morning!"
"So... Battlefield announcements from the elves should come soon. Anse Zora muttered to himself, "We've all been tricked by the undead legion. β
Minnie Vatu kept her head down and didn't speak, she had nothing to say about this intelligence incident.
"Go down first, knight. Pedi wasn't angry with Minnie Vatu.
"Wolf!" said Minnie Vatu as she slowly stepped back as the king called out to his secretary-general.
"Your Majesty!" the orc, who had been standing next to the statue, immediately bowed and saluted.
"Tell Bowen Wright to end the negotiations in two days. β
"Your Majestyβ" Wolf Ma didn't take the order immediately this time, he obviously wanted to persuade something, but he couldn't say it because of his position.
"Don't worry, Dempto is a smart man, he doesn't dare to make excessive demands, andβ" Pedi buried the latter words in his heart, "Anyway, tell Bowen Wright... I need the plains of Sooke, not the town of Tyre. β
"Yes!" Seeing that the king was so confident, Wolf Ma no longer hesitated.
As Wolfma turned to walk away quickly, Pedi looked at Anse Zora again, "You go and talk to Mondstadt Jean yourself, I hope the army of Fort Norma will not delay." β
"Yes. β
"Knights of the reorganized heavy cavalry corps, I need a strong attack team all the time!"
"Yes!"
"The teleportation array prioritizes the use of the Paladin's Legion... Two days from now, I'm going to see my paladin legion appear in Suker City, and three days later I'll need the puppet troops of the Mage Tower to join the siege. β
"Yes!"
"Inform the whole city that in two days I will personally lead the attacking team to attack the inner city gate station on Central Street. β
"Yes!"
"I need to be quiet now. β
With the departure of Anse Zora, the war room, which had been full of people and noisy just now, fell completely silent. Pedi took two steps back and sat down, looking at the messy logo on the desktop map and the cluttered papers in the filing cabinet next to him, took a deep breath, and leaned back in his chair to pretend to sleep.
Boom, lightning exploded in the sky, causing the gloomy sky to flicker with white light, and the wind poured into the room through the cracks in the windows, causing the lights in the room to shake back and forth.
The torrential rain that has been transporting grain for a long time has finally fallen.
Pedi opened his eyes and walked to the window, looking at the inner city walls that had become hazy under the rainstorm and fell into thought.
...
On the morning of July 22, the sky was overcast.
The day before yesterday's rainstorm was followed by two consecutive days of light rain in Suke City. According to the monitoring reports of the magicians, this light rain will last for nearly half a month.
The rain was deadly for the besieging side, but Pedi did not heed Anse Zola's advice to abandon the attack plan scheduled for this morning. Because the Elven Kingdom sent an official announcement yesterday, asking Pedi to end the war on the Suker Plains as soon as possible and support the Felder Territory.
"Hum... Hum..."
The horn of the attack was long and agitated, and Pedi looked up at the raindrops floating in the air, stretched out his hand to wipe the rain from his face, took the helmet strap handed over by Hu Cong, and looked at Ans-Zora in the distance from the command platform, and then looked at the command flag in the hands of the nearby flag bearer.
"Click" Pei Di put down the armor and raised the war hammer as the holy power surged, "Attack!"
"Attack!"
The herald received the order and immediately ran in all directions, and the still command flag began to dance as Pedi's shouting hit the ground.
"Oh!" shouted the soldiers to cheer themselves on.
The snare drums and organists next to the "Knock Knock" queue immediately began to play rhythmic war music, and the officers drew their short swords at their waists and pointed at the wall in front of them and shouted: "Forward!"
The "gurgling" heavy siege tower vehicles slowly moved forward in the rotation of huge gears, and the rushing trucks pressed through the wide gravel road of Central Avenue under the vigorous push of the soldiers, making a dull sound of "boom".
Due to the limitations of the terrain, there were only five routes to attack the city wall on the Central Avenue front, and the narrow alleys of the other four except Central Street could only be passed by a siege tower car, and even this was the result of demolishing a large number of houses.
Pedi's offensive line is naturally the easiest to look at, but it is also the most difficult to break.
After two rounds of arrows and countless heavy crossbows roared by, the besieging army advanced under the city wall, and the siege tower carts on both sides lowered the passage inlaid with iron hooks and set up on the city wall after a loud "boom", and the soldiers on both sides immediately roared and fought each other.
"Quick! stir the gears...", the officer near the rushing car instructed the soldiers to stir the huge handle, causing the stout, steel-clad giant log to slowly rise backwards.
Pedi was next to the rushing car, and the shield in his hand was specially modified, activating not a magic shield in the ordinary sense, but a holy shield formed by absorbing holy power, and at this moment he held the shield to resist the arrows and stones that fell from time to time above his head.
Suddenly, there was a scorching breath in the otherwise cold air.
"Beware of magical attacks!" Pei Di subconsciously shouted, "Raise the shield!" As soon as his words fell, a cloud of green flames fell from the shooting port above the mouth of the city wall, and the originally outlined magic shield wrapped in cowhide above the rushing car was instantly activated.
The green flame immediately attached to the shield like flowing magma, and quickly corroded the surface of the shield like elemental venom, and when the charging shield was about to finish, two identical green flames fell from the firing port above the head.
While Peidi's face changed slightly, countless green flames followed.
"Ahh
The only survivors of the fire were Pedi and the two soldiers beside him.
"Evil magic!" Pedi's holy power sensed the obvious evil energy, and as he retreated with two soldiers, a golden flame generated at his feet and continued to devour the green flames that spread in all directions.
"Powerful hybrid magic, an energy that has never been seen before. Samhill lifted his visor and stared coldly at the green flames engulfed by the divine flames, "The mage has to be busy again, if we can't study a limited restraint circle in a short period of time, our attack..."
"Divide the Paladins into squads and lead the charge!" Peddy stared at the siege tower on his left, which was ignited by green flames, "Your paladin squad is responsible for treating wounded soldiers. β
"I'll give it my all. Samhill wasn't verbose at this time.
Pei Di didn't talk nonsense anymore, he took two steps towards the siege tower cart on his right hand and raised the two-handed war hammer in his hand, at this moment, the holy power on his body turned milky white, and the gloomy sky seemed to become clear again, and the golden light projected from the thick clouds fell vertically, illuminating a large area near the siege tower cart.
The green flames attached to the nearby area immediately faded as if they had never appeared before, and the wounds of the soldiers in the area illuminated by the Holy Power were visibly healed.
"Keep attacking!" Pedi climbed aboard the siege tower and pushed away the soldiers who were in front of him to climb the stairwell inside the tower as fast as he could. The nearby soldiers, perhaps inspired by the king or blessed by the holy power, all quickened their pace.
By the time Pedi reached the entrance to the tower chariot, a squad of orc warriors had already stormed the walls and engaged the defenders in the most conventional hand-to-hand combat. Pedi turned on the shield device on his wrist again, covering his body with the Holy Shield, and then smashed directly into the dense formation of the defenders of the city wall with a jump.
"Bang" Under the action of the holy power, Pedi's body was like a boulder, directly smashing at least three defenders, and the surrounding city wall defenders reacted like the most elite soldiers, they seemed to be unsurprised by Pedi's sudden fall from the sky, and when Pedi's blood fell and spilled on their bodies, they raised their spears and stabbed fiercely.
More than a dozen spears stained with rain and blood were blocked from the holy shield, and the warhammer full of holy power in Peidi's hand swept backhand. The vibration of the blow in his hand made Pedi frown, as he felt as if his hammer was hitting solid stones.
"Die!" With a low roar, Pedi saw the emotionless bloodthirsty gaze shrouded under the helmet, "when" the spear sparked through the shield and stabbed through his shoulder armor.
"Pounce" Pedi once again held up the shield, and used his hammer to smash the heads of the soldiers who attacked him, and knocked the other defenders of the wall that followed. Only then did he have time to observe the battle of the other orc squads next to him, which were already in a bitter battle.
"Please forgive me for killing..."Pedi took a deep breath and raised the hammer in his hand, the holy power quickly gathering around his body, and in the blink of an eye, it was as dazzling as the rising sun. The rain around "Sneer" was turned into water vapor, the golden flame of the Holy Power Change City, it had no heat but a warm comfort, and the power of the "Holy Flame" was covered in the center of Peidi at this moment, spreading towards the surroundings, and all the defenders who came into contact with the flames were burned into ashes.
It becomes strange to die under this power, and when a warm sense of comfort envelops it, life disappears.
