"Chapter 309: The Anxiety Caused by the War"
The sacrifice of our three Skeleton Giants (though nothing for the infinitely resurrected Skeleton Giants) and the cooperation of a large number of troops finally opened the gate for us, and the iron fence behind the gate was torn by the steel padak with double pincers, and the giant's giant fist smashed down the pile of obstacles behind the gate that was blocking us, and the army finally rushed into the city.

But the rest of the battle was far from what I had imagined, and I thought that once the army entered the city, it would be able to destroy the kingdom's defenses, crush their army, win the battle, and win the war. For us, take this place, and we will succeed in this war.
In the previous battle, once our combined army entered the city, the battle was over, and we were able to take the city in no time.
But when our giants broke through the defenses and stormed into the city, I found that the troops were not as smooth as I had imagined.
Relying on my decent strength, and Mei Long's protection, I walked as far as I could, until the crossbow bolts had reached my feet. Although I can easily handle these crossbow arrows with my strength, I still feel very bad. My appearance is already special, and it is even more conspicuous among these yellow-haired and white-boned armies. If I accidentally find out that the other party's strong man is desperate to kill me, I may really die.
I picked up my binoculars and took a closer look at the city walls and gates.
“MD! Didn't hit it far at all! ”
I am a little dissatisfied, it has been almost half an hour since the city gate was broken, but the defenders at the head of the city have not been reduced much, and there are even new troops, which means that our troops who attacked the city have not taken the city defense line at all, and have been fighting at the city gate.
I looked through my binoculars and found that the troops on the other side of the city gate did not go very far, and there seemed to be some metal spires in the inner city blocking the front of the giants, with a height of more than three meters, thicker than a human arm, and it must be a difficult city defense weapon.
I asked the goblin team to scout, and though I was reluctant, they agreed despite my threats and promises of interest, and they did their best.
When they returned, I learned that the gates of the city were full of blade-shaped steel pillars and shards, and even giants could easily prick their fingers when they touched them, and the slightest mistake would cut their skin and muscles. I wondered about this, because even if it was made of steel, I am afraid that a chainsaw would not hurt the giant. However, after careful inspection, it was discovered that those steel spikes had a magic coating on them, and these magical effects with stimulating elemental power could increase the damage of these steel thorns several times.
However, this level of attack alone can't stop the footsteps of the giants and our army, but the kingdom must have put a lot of effort into the inner city, according to the report of the returning undead reconnaissance team, now all the defenses in the inner city have been activated, all kinds of attack methods have appeared, and the magic element has spread everywhere, causing great trouble to the advance of our troops. Even a powerful combat unit like Steel Padak, under the encounter of a large number of magic arrays of defensive weapons and lightning attacks that have an obstruction effect, Steel Padak was trapped between the steel thorn jungle, and his mobility was greatly weakened.
"It looks like it's another endless street fight." I sighed and said to Mei Long helplessly.
"My lord, in the current situation, we can only attack head-on, what can be changed is the cooperation of the troops, but the attack method basically cannot be changed." Mei Long also carefully observed the form of the battlefield and told me. Of course, he also mentioned another place: "If the princes can win the initiative on the battlefield of the strong, or if we can dismantle the opponent's magic offensive, we can all gain the initiative and end the battle as soon as possible." ”
Mei Long is right, but it is also difficult to achieve. Although we have always had an advantage in terms of the strong, we have more combat masters, and the number of sky battle masters is not so obvious. And although our Sky Battle Master also has the advantage, the opponent's fighting method is simply dragging, and he has been fighting above the inner city, within the range of their anti-aircraft fire, which has caused great trouble to our princes. On the magic battlefield, we have always been on par with each other, and a high-level magic power close to the witch cannot gain an advantage over the other party, and the master is reluctant to attack the kingdom's army because of his friendship with Salondron and his good father, so we can't achieve our ideal results on the magic battlefield.
The princess is not dispatched, and we really don't have an advantage in the confrontation of high-level combat power. Of course, we can also send these junior Sky Battle Masters like the Royal Knights in our hands, but none of the three of us want to see that kind of loss, and if we push the other party into a hurry, something may happen, and it won't do us any good. Although the supplies are no longer able to keep up, we don't want to save a day or two on the siege. Even if we occupy this place, it will be difficult to move on, and I think the kingdom is well aware of this problem, so although we must capture this fortress city, the goal is only that.
Supplies were running out, and I was starting to get tired of the endless battles. I was the first to start the fight, but now I realize that something is wrong. In the beginning, we fought for self-preservation, to create a safe environment for us to live, for me to develop everything that the system gave me. But then after I got the power, I needed more space, more land, from passive to active, and began to lead a large army to constantly attack the territory of the kingdom, and my army was constantly consumed and renewed. I began to realize that I had already seen the sacrifice of soldiers as a number, as Fang Zi and Zeng Qiang had also mentioned to me. The way the Grand Legion fought made our army recover so quickly that I didn't care less and less about the sacrifices of battle. I hate kings who wage war only for their own benefit, but I find myself becoming one of them.
The land we occupy is enough for us to gain a foothold in this world, even if Wang Shengzhe declares that he has established a country in the world call, I envy and desire that I will stop this war. There is no end to fighting, and there is no end to killing. The most important thing is that if we continue to fight, it will not only be supplies, but also those areas that have just been captured by us will be a mess. We were really negligent in managing the post-occupation situation, and if we continued in this way, the chaos in the rear would collapse our plans entirely. I have to end this war as soon as possible, but I still need to take the city down and get all the mission parts that Fang Zi needs.
