Chapter 52: The Next City
It was only three days before news of the fall of Dora City was heard
"What?
Dora City was defeated like this? ”
The ministers looked at each other, and the king, who was still thinking about how to defend himself, was very surprised to hear the news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I didn't expect Taridov to capture a town so quickly, and although Ressen's army was dragged by me, it was too fast."
The ministers talked a lot, they felt that the matter was in their favor, and no one thought that it was an increase in the strength of Taridov's army, they thought it was luck.
"Now that they've taken the city of Doro, it's time to step up the border defenses in the last few days to prevent Risen from taking his wrath out of us."
As a result, the Royal Guards entered the city of Wisson, which was confronting Ryson's army
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Ryson's whole army attacked directly to the city of Wiesen.
"Our territory has been robbed of a city, now let's take Wiesen City!"
"Kill!"
Rather than being deterred by the loss of the territory, Wissen's army attacked the city with an indomitable momentum.
Relying on the defense of the sword and shield warriors, Ryson's army soon rushed to the city walls and fought the enemy.
Seeing that the defenses on the city walls were getting worse and worse, the attack of Risson's army became more and more fierce.
"The Second Guard goes to the city wall for defense!"
Another force from under the walls rushed up to the walls and drove down the Risen army, which had managed to gain a foothold on the walls.
Then Risen withdrew his troops
"Lord Count, why don't we continue to attack?"
"Now that we have been driven off the walls, it is not in our interest to continue the attack."
"As long as I am allowed to go up the wall, I promise to hold a section of the wall, so that our soldiers can continue to attack it."
"But the king also has high-level magic warriors, and when you are tired, he sends someone to sneak attack, won't I lose a general?"
"So we'll leave it at that?"
"How can this be counted, even the loss of Doro City in the back is also a matter of the king, today's temptation I already know the king's arrangement, we can take a city in ten days at most!"
Risen looks very confident
Soon the news of the fall of the city of Doro to Taridov spread throughout the Lion Empire
The commoners didn't know much about it, they just thought that Ryson rebelled against the king, and then Taridov helped the king deal with him.
But what does this have to do with them?
Except for the civilians in the cities that were at war, the civilians in the other cities had not changed at all, and the battle of the nobles was not an important thing for them, at most there was one more topic to talk about.
"In just a few days, how did Taridov take it?"
The nobles knew that the Risen army failed to take the city of Wiesen, and although the defense strength of the city of Wiesen and the city of Doro was different, the strength of the two armies was also different.
"Is there a gap in absolute strength with the benefit of the city wall, how did Doro City change hands so quickly?"
"Maybe it's luck, it's a coincidence."
"Maybe it's Taridov's strength"
"It's likely that someone with at least S-level strength will make a move"
"Could it be the people in the seal?"
These nobles are becoming more and more greedy for what is in the seal
"Will we be stronger when we get it?"
But no one dares to make the first move, which means that they will be attacked on their backs.
The real reason would not have been known to these nobles, and no one would have thought that Taridov had not relied on a powerful individual to achieve this victory at all, but a large magical power item.
"It's a magic power item you made"
Taridov sighed as he touched the large siege magic power props beside him
"Of course, catapults are not really powerful, this kind of thing has long been eliminated by us."
"Although the catapult has long been eliminated by us, it is a normal version, not a magic version."
"And that energy source, although it is much worse than the magic energy factory, but it is mobile, and it provides a lot of convenience when attacking."
"This kind of thing is actually a small magic energy factory, but the power is not so great, and the efficiency is not so high."
"It's nice to have an ally like yours, what do we do next?"
"Continuing the offensive before the news gets out, of course"
So Taridov's army left some to guard the city of Doro, and the rest went straight to the next city.
"Shoot!"
The soldiers on the city wall shot arrows at the enemy troops below the city walls, and the arrows flew away, and just when the soldiers thought that Taridov's army was nothing more than that, one by one magical shields appeared, blocking all the bows and arrows.
"Shield?"
It's not that no one in history has ever tried to use a magic shield to rain arrows, unless there is a huge difference in the level of magic energy, otherwise it is not cost-effective to do so.
"Keep shooting, the enemy's shield can't be there forever!"
Another rain of arrows flew out, but the shield attacked by the arrows showed no signs of lack of magical power.
"W, how is this done?"
No matter how many waves of arrows rained down, the shield didn't fluctuate in the slightest
"Even if there was such a thing, I wouldn't let you break into the town so easily!"
Soon he saw the big guys behind the army
"What are those things?
Is that the secret of the shield on their bodies?"
No one could answer the question in his mind
"What is the maximum range of our ranged attacks?"
The city guard officer sent the captain of the bow and asked him
"If you do more than 100 meters or so, it will be impossible to go farther."
Looking at the distance that was obviously more than a few hundred meters, the city guard officer had to give up the idea of long-range strikes.
"Sir, that big guy looks like he's firing something at us!"
A bow and arrow shouted as he pointed at something flying from the sky
"What's that?"
"It looks like there's a big rock."
"Stones?"
"And there are also magic energy fluctuations, most likely their long-range attack!
And the landing point looks like the city wall! ”
"Everyone go down the wall, and then we'll wait for this wave of long-range attacks to pass before going up the wall!"
"And many Luo cities were lost because of these things
No, it can't stop Taridov's army from attacking the town, but the more time the better, so that the towns behind will be ready."
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and a huge crack appeared in the city wall.
"This!"
"Boom!
Boom! ”
Most of the stones that came one after another smashed on the city wall, and the cracks in the wall became more and more until one wall collapsed, and the flying rubble killed many soldiers.
The city guard stared blankly at everything in front of him
"This attack strength is SS-level, right?"
Soon Taridov's army rushed into the city from the collapsed walls, without any resistance, and all the soldiers were taken into custody.
The city guard, who was pressed in front of Taridov, shouted
"I'm willing to surrender!"
Although the city guard officer was single-handedly drawn out by Ruisen, he was still loyal, but in the face of such a powerful army, if he didn't surrender again, wouldn't he have to be a civilian for the rest of his life?
He didn't think that such a powerful army would have any comparable power in the Lion Empire
"Are you willing to surrender?"
Zhou Yi looked at the city guard officer with interest
"Yes, although I am a subordinate of Earl Ryson and have sworn allegiance to him, I do not think that your army has no rival in the Lion Empire, and I do not want to be a civilian."
"Yes, you still manage the town, but by your side"
"Please send someone to spy on me."
"It's not just about surveillance, it's about delivering orders."
Taridov glanced at Zhou Yi in surprise
"Okay, give him the treatment he deserves as a city guard officer."
The soldiers untied the city guard and took him aside for tea and went away.
"Is it okay to just appoint those who surrendered to us?"
"We're going to make a statement that we welcome anyone who is willing to surrender.
And we have absolute strength, these people are just hired by us like employees, as long as the army is in our hands, he can't make any waves. ”
