Section 21 The general offensive begins
Greetings to the Venerable King of Pedi, the Kamok Khanate. Ribalo solemnly saluted the young king in accordance with the now unified bust of the Kamok Khanate, and then bowed his head respectfully.
Suddenly, Andy Barrett found himself a little out of place at the moment. He was like an outsider standing alone in the middle of the street, with representatives of the surrounding forces falling on him in one way or another, and the citizens of the city and the huge army in the distance shouting "Long live the king" were so harsh.
"Cousin..."Andy Barrett bowed his head and bowed, gave a knightly salute to Pedy, and then said with a joking smile, "You don't have time to drink afternoon tea every day in the future, do you?"
In the face of his cousin's teasing, Pedi smiled noncommittally, and handed the sword in his hand to the servant next to him, and then took two steps forward and grabbed Andy Barrett's hand and gave his cousin a hug, "It's a pleasure to see you here, my brother." ”
"You're more enthusiastic than I thought. Andy felt his cousin's heartbeat, looked at the rows of representatives of various forces behind him, and looked at the gazes of countless nobles and knights around him, and at this moment he seemed to understand what a king was.
"Welcome, Your Highness. Pedi quickly ended his hug with his cousin, and he patted his cousin on the shoulder and looked at the orc prince next to him, "I believe that your presence will promote the friendship between our two countries." ”
"Of course, our great Khan attaches great importance to friendship with the Kingdom of Kruria. The shrewd orc prince made a pun on his point.
"Haha!" Pedi pretended not to have the chill in his words, and he leaned over and invited, "We were discussing how to attack Lion Castle, you might be able to join in." ”
"Attack Lion Castle, I like to hear that. Andy Barrett stood beside his cousin and walked to the command room, "I've been thinking about how to destroy Lionburg for a long time, but you know... In the past, if someone did that, it was no different from looking for death. ”
"Haha!" Andy's words amused most people, and they also spoke to most people's hearts.
"We're not here to destroy Lionburg. Anse Zora remained calm, "We are here to end Penny Danediv's rule and bring peace to the region. ”
"Yes, we bring peace, not destruction. Pedi looked at the staff officers waiting in the headquarters and the battle map hanging high on the wall, and he felt that this sentence was full of hypocrisy, but he had to say it.
"Of course, we are here to bring peace to the city, but first we have to go to war. Andy Barrett seemed to be back to the way he was in the imperial capital five years ago, with a silly smile that only a child can appear.
This time, no one answered Andy's words again, and the group walked into the war room in silence.
Today's operational meeting was well attended, with the participation of the heads of the Allied ministries, including the logistics office, in addition to Bowenley, who had negotiated with Danfpat and Bivis in the town of Tyre, and the Fourth Army.
After everyone took their positions, Pedi first introduced them in turn.
When someone got to know each other, Pedi stood in front of his throne and looked around, "Everyone, let's end this farce as soon as possible, the people of the Suke Plains have gone through too much suffering, it's time to enjoy a peaceful life." After the solemn and solemn opening remarks, he pointed to Minnie Vatu, the intelligence officer of the kingdom, and ordered, "Knight Minnie, you first tell me about the information about the inner city that you have found over there. ”
"The MI has not received much information, and the agents we have arranged in advance in the inner city have basically lost all the information, and all the information we have now is partly brought out by McGonagall Tano, partly provided by Marquis Voz Pedro, and the rest is summarized by the recent battlefield scout observatory. Minnie Vatu explained a lot, and she seemed extraordinarily cautious under the gaze of so many people.
"There are now about 20,000 defenders in the inner city. Minnie Vatu took a deep breath, "But it's just a conservative estimate, because both Woz Pedro and Magagall Tano can prove that Penny Danedive is using evil powers, so... Maybe... Today's inner city may be a soldier for all. She said this with obvious uncertainty.
"I don't really understand. Andy Barrett looked at his cousin, "Did your intelligence officer mean that Penny became undead? ”
"That's an application of evil power. Pedi didn't hide it, "Evil power is not just used to spread plague and death, it has many effects, you can consult with Archmage Leah for details. He said, gesturing to Leah beside him, then at Minnie Vatu, "You continue. ”
Minnie Vatu nodded, "What I mean by 'all are soldiers' is just a metaphor, according to our intelligence, the remaining resources of the Lion Castle can only equip a maximum of 20,000 soldiers, but the mages have recently monitored the continuous fluctuation of the spatial nodes inside the Lion Castle, although our mages intercepted this, but it has no effect..."
"They have more teleportation magic than we do. Archmage Leah couldn't help but explain, "However, the spatial nodes in the Lion Castle are not very fluctuating, so I believe they don't have much to teleport. ”
"So... The final conclusion of the MI was that Penny Danediv had at his disposal at least less than 30,000 soldiers, but they had a very strong army of mages and controlled an even more powerful puppet army. Minnie Wattle's sentence is a summary of the previous explanation.
"Nearly two legions, a mage army, and an undetectable puppet army. Pedi looked around, "And the tight wall defense system of the inner city, and the possible forbidden spell attack in the lion castle at the end... That's what we're going to face. ”
"As strong as our enemies may seem, we are stronger, and we have enough power in our hands to crush them. Lundin Reagan deliberately said in a lighthearted tone, "This is a war that is destined to be won." ”
Lundin-Reagan's proclamation-like speech changed the slightly tense and solemn atmosphere, and when everyone was looking towards the word 'victory', Pedi looked at Anse Zora and asked, "When will the follow-up troops of the Mage Tower arrive?" I need your puppet troops to defend against the rock golems on the other side. ”
He deliberately asked in front of everyone.
"Our magical warriors need to be trimmed, so... Our troops will need at least a day to trim. "Ans-Zora has nothing to hide.
"Your Majesty is asking about the puppet troops. General Amos looked displeased.
"Your Excellency Botlem wants us to intend to mobilize our forces in unity. "I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”
With a "grace", Paddy stretched out his hand to stop Amos from continuing, and looked at Archmage Leah, "Have you researched a defense against the mage's new fire magic?"
"Your Majesty, this is not something that can be studied in a short period of time. ”
"How long will it take?"
"If you can catch a magician on the opposite side and ask them for their spellcasting circle, you can get it in half a month, if not, maybe there will be no results for several years. ”
"Your mage advisor town humor?" Andy Barrett chuckled.
Pedi frowned, although he was a little dissatisfied with Leah's answer, he didn't plan to make his mage advisor too bad in such a scene, so he turned to look at his cousin and the orc prince who were teasing him and asked, "When will your troops arrive?"
"Two days at the latest. Andy replied immediately, and Ribalo acquiesced in his answer.
Peddy looked at Andy Barrett for two seconds before looking at his logistics chief, Darick Danny, "I need enough explosives and artillery, as well as plenty of magic crystals and musket bullets. ”
Darek Danny said confidently: "The logistics department has specially set up a corresponding teleportation circle, and the strategic materials of the Klan Territory can be transported to Suke City in one day. ”
"Yes!" said Pedy, casually.
The casual answers of the two shocked Andy Barrett and Ribalo, who had just joined the Battle of Suker City, because their knowledge was still stuck in the knowledge of three years ago, which made it impossible for them to realize how huge the transportation circle was needed to transport supplies from Crewe to Suke City in one day.
"Lord Zora, can the forces of the Mage Tower reach Suker City in two days?" Pedi turned his gaze back to Anse Zora.
"The teleportation circle with the Tyre area has already been set up, and with the nod of Lord Botelem, our troops can reach Suker City within half a year. Ans-Zora answered the king's question.
"Can you teleport an entire legion?" asked Andy Barrett.
"Yes, but only if there is enough teleportation circle. Pedi explained, "Between Tyre and Suker, we have established no less than five hundred transit circles, and we also need thousands of magical devices to monitor spatial nodes. ”
"Unbelievable. ”
Pei Di ended the conversation with his cousin with a faint smile, looked around and said, "So... What do you think of the general attack the day after tomorrow?"
...
On July 28, the sky was clear in the Suke City area.
Early this morning, martial law began in the entire outer city, and the martial law decree prohibits any organization or individual other than the Allied Army from using energy elements, prohibits any non-Allied organization from entering and leaving the city, and only allows the passage of each block between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and prohibits the lights from being lit up after 8 p.m. at night.
The central street is close to the inner city wall area, and after two consecutive days of deployment, nearly 50,000 troops have been assembled here, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers in the east and west city districts respectively.
The streets outside the inner city gate were now full of soldiers armed to the teeth, there were no less than a hundred towering siege towers, there were too many ladders to count, and five heavy rushing carts were located at the very front of the central street, and in front of the rushing carts was the commander of the Confederate army, King Pedi Reagan of the Kingdom of Cruria.
Pedi was wearing heavy armor at the moment, wearing a gray cloak embroidered with a giant bear pattern, and next to him was a squadron of paladins, and a large area near it was soon lined with rows of magical golems that were more than three meters tall.
Andy Barrett stood with his cousin, looking at the elite soldiers around him, and suddenly felt how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.
"Let's put an end to this. Pedi stepped forward with the hammer on his shoulder.
"Whoosh" There was a sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow with a cold light was nailed to Pedi's path, but Pedi had no intention of stopping, he continued to move forward...
"Whoosh" was another unceremonious arrow that was about to focus on Pedy's knee when it was bounced off by a flash of shield.
"Your Majesty!" Willy-Jon stepped forward with his escort to form a shield wall.
"Don't worry, even their heavy crossbows won't kill me. Pedi pushed the knight in front of him, took two more steps before stopping, and then looked up at Karen-Sibo under the Battle Banner of the Gate Tower.
With no more arrows coming, Karen Sibo on the castle tower performed a standard knightly etiquette in the face of Pedi's gaze as a sign of her respect.
Pedi nodded lightly at the knightly salute of Karene Sibo, then raised his warhammer and pointed at the city gate, "Attack!"
The sound of the horn near the "buzz" was quickly sounded, followed by a response from the other neighborhoods, as if in the blink of an eye the horn echoed in all nearby areas.
More than ten seconds later, the entire city was surrounded by the echoes of war drums and horns.
"Advance!" the front-line officers roared, ordering their men to march towards the walls.
"Oh!" the soldiers roared in response to the officer's order.
As the low roars of soldiers echoed over the city, the huge army slowly advanced to the rhythm of the war drums.
Half an hour later,
After several rounds of arrows and muskets, the Allied siege carts, ladders, and carts approached the walls, and the Confederate soldiers began to land on the walls, while the defenders tried to cut off the Confederate landing.
Instead of taking the lead in storming the walls as he had done a few days earlier, Pedi stood quietly in front of the walls, watching the clash of muskets and magic, spears and swords near the walls.
"The defenders were tougher than they thought. Andy Barrett frowned, now he had some idea of what it meant to be a 'reformed soldier', "It's a very special power, but it's a bit costly, and his soul has become as pure as a baby." ”
Pedi had no intention of replying, and remained silent. Andy looked at his cousin's serious expression, pursed his lips, and didn't continue to speak.
Another half hour passed, and when the first wave of attacks was routed by the defenders, and the second wave of siege towers re-erected the walls, Archmage Leah appeared at Pedi's side.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready. ”
Pedi turned to look at Leah, "Let's get started, then." ”
"Yes!" Leah said, casting a teleportation spell and leaving.
