1103 or ......
When the waiters found out that Beta and the others were missing the next day, it was almost noon.
Looking at the empty floor, the leader of the waiters was almost frightened. When the situation was reported to the Pope's Hall, the Pope was arguing with the archbishops at this time, and he, who was already extremely agitated, almost fainted on the spot when he heard the news.
Leaning on the edge of the table and barely standing up straight, Pope Gus asked with a blushing face, "How could it have disappeared, how did they do it?" Our barrier is activating, and even if they can break it with brute force, it should cause the barrier to shake. But now that the enchantment is good, their people are gone! ”
"Could it be teleportation?" An archbishop said, "Beta is very good at teleportation magic, and the large teleportation arrays in our Holevon are his handiwork. ”
"Even teleportation magic has to be based on the fundamentals of magic." An archbishop said: "Magical enchantments can affect space, and teleportation magic, whether in or out of the enchantment, will cause obvious waves of space, space and magic, as long as you are not an idiot who casts spells, you can feel it." ”
Gus looked left and right, and said, "He must still be in the city, search, find a way to find him." ”
Several archbishops nodded at the same time.
Over the next two days, Nata City conducted an intensive search, but even after turning the city upside down, Beta and his three women were still not found.
The Cult of Fortune army outside the city has begun to advance towards the city of Nata.
"What the hell is going on?" Pope Gus was incredulous: "Someone else should be in our city, but why no one can find him, I even used a little luck trick, but it didn't work." ”
The so-called little luck technique is actually a kind of causal magic, which can solve some very weird and strange problems, after all, it is said to ask people for directions, ask about the future, and so on.
Although it is said to be a small luck technique, it is actually a fifth-order magic, which is quite advanced.
The reason why it is called 'Little Luck Technique' is because there is also a 'Great Luck Technique', which can even be done by resurrecting the dead, and it belongs to the forbidden technique of the law level, and only people above the demigod level can master it, even if it is a god, there are many people who cannot learn the 'Great Luck Technique'.
Beta doesn't know how to be lucky, she doesn't have that talent. And Gus became the Pope and mastered the little luck technique, but when he used it, it was at the cost of his own life, so he rarely used it.
Two days later, the Cult of Fortune completed the siege of Nata City, with nearly 10,000 troops stationed outside the city.
A letter of war was handed to Pope Gus, to the effect that Pope Beta had not been in contact with them for three days, and that they suspected that they had been detained by the city of Nata, so they had to release the Pope as soon as possible, or they would immediately attack the city of Nata.
"These shitty bastards." Gus angrily tore the war book to shreds: "They themselves are gone, what does it matter to us!" We also want to know where they went. No wonder it disappeared, was it for this excuse? ”
A group of archbishops stood, looking at the angry Pope Gus.
After a while, it was Philip who took the initiative to say: "Let's fight, war is coming, and it is useless for us to just retreat." Your Majesty, make a decision at once, for every day that passes, the soldiers of our soldiers will drop one point, and if it goes on like this, it will not take ten days, and we will have nothing to fight back. ”
Philip was quite popular among the archbishops, and his opinions could, to a certain extent, lead to the ideas and concepts of other archbishops.
There was some silence in the house, and Gus's panting was very noticeable.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we can't just admit defeat, otherwise what will others think of our Storm God Cult in the future." ”
The archbishops nodded, no matter what they say, they have to symbolically resist for five or six days, otherwise how can they get by on face.
And in the mansion space, Emma looked at Beta speechlessly: "You are too bad, you deliberately hide so that no one can find it, and use this method to give your army captain a reason to attack the Storm Temple." ”
Beta chuckled: "There is no way, the Storm God Cult and the Zoroastrian Sect are secretly allied, if we don't settle the Storm God Cult, when we deal with the Zoroastrians, we will also be distracted to guard against sneak attacks from behind, it is too troublesome, just take this opportunity and do it once and for all." ”
Emma thought for a moment and asked, "So, how many days do you estimate the Storm Temple can last?" ”
"No more than ten days."
In fact, Beta overestimated the resilience of the Cult of Storms.
The war book was handed out, but the Pope was still not seen, and the army of the Temple of Waujin immediately launched an attack early the next morning.
Huge boulders and giant wooden spears were thrown at the city from three directions, and although they were blocked by the magic barrier of Nata City, the people in the city could feel that every stone that hit the magic barrier would make a thunderous sound.
And the continuous throwing of boulders and wooden spears sounded a thunder that seemed to never stop.
The Cult of Fortune was not in a hurry to send soldiers to attack the city, and after bombarding it with huge trees and boulders for almost a day, they temporarily retreated a kilometer and camped to rest.
However, the internal magic stone reserves of the magic enchantment in Nata City have disappeared by nearly a quarter.
The next day, the bombardment continued.
Although there is no giant wooden gun, such things as boulders are extremely easy to get. The military priest can easily make it with a 'mud into stone', and then it is thrown out by a trebuchet, saving time and effort. Some gifted priests can also 'turn mud into stone' to make stone guns.
Another day of continuous bombardment.
The tactics of the Temple of Fortune's army were formulated by Beta himself.
The Fortune God Cult is very rich, so naturally it will not treat its own people badly in terms of armaments. The guards and priests of the Fortune God Cult use the best standard equipment, and the logistics are also the best, and the dry food is not only varied, but also can be eaten with a free belly. And most importantly...... Siege armaments.
Beta stipulated that any field unit, with the exception of special forces, must be equipped with a crossbow and trebuchet. For every fifty people on average, one trebuchet and a lathe crossbow must be owned.
Moreover, the trebuchet and the bed crossbow have been modified to not only make them smaller, but also to be able to transport them separately. Divided into ten parts, each part is only about fifteen kilograms, much lighter than armor, and a soldier with greater strength can run all over the mountain on his back.
Once at the destination, it can be reassembled in three minutes.
Therefore, any field force of the Temple of Fortune has long-range firepower not far away.
Beta's philosophy is that if you can overwhelm an enemy with long-range fire, you will never engage in hand-to-hand combat.
With this in mind, the Cult of Fortune has a high proportion of ranged weapons, and he even encourages melee classes to carry an easy-to-use ranged weapon, such as a crossbow.
Reality is not a game, there is a career balance. For example, melee soldiers have higher health and damage, ranged soldiers have higher mobility, and have weaker defense.
Maybe there is a certain amount of science in the data, but the reality is really not that calculated.
The game can be tried and tested countless times, and in reality there is only one life, you can fight others, others can't beat you, this is the advantage.
All in all, the soldiers of the Wealth God Cult are not much more expensive, and the military expenses of each soldier are as high as five to eight of the other forces.
At the same time, this is also a military training, and it is the first time that the Fortune God Cult has dispatched such a large-scale army.
Compared to the ease of the Cult of Fortune Legion, the atmosphere in Nata City is quite bad.
After being bombarded by the 'barrage' that lasted all day, the amount of magic crystals in the entire city is now less than half, that is to say...... In two days at most, the city of Nata will be destroyed.
"They may run out of ammunition."
"How is that possible! There are stones all over the ground, and it's really not good, and it's no problem to cast spells and turn them into a pile. ”
"The problem is trebuchets, where did they get so many trebuchets?"
As we all know, trebuchets are expensive and huge, and they are not easy to transport, and only those armies with strong logistics can transport a dozen of them to the front line. And according to the number of stones thrown by the opponent, there are at least between 100 and 200.
And that's not even counting the bed crossbows that come out from time to time.
Magic enchantments have good resistance to both physics and magic, especially to magicians, after all, magicians' mental power is limited, and the number is scarce, and it is impossible to compare the magic capacity with a large reserve of magic crystals.
And the physical means of attack are relatively weak...... In general, the number of trebuchets and bed crossbows determines the quality of the siege.
Rain of arrows and such a thing...... Has little effect on magical enchantments.
It's just that the army of the Cult of Fortune is an exception.
On average, a miniaturized trebuchet and bed crossbow for fifty people, and the operation does not require a few people, and it can be completely covered by barrage.
"Regardless of how their trebuchet came about, we have two days left and we have to figure out a way."
The conference room was noisy again.
Gus felt his head start to ache.
This is a sign of too much pressure.
"Is it possible to ask Zoroastrian for help?"
"Far water can't save near fire." Philip said in an indifferent tone: "We have no way back now, Pope, let's fight, at least we can retain our dignity." ”
Dignity preserved. In other words, Philip no longer had any hope for this war.
Thinking about it, it is indeed true, the high-end combat power is not superior, and the strength of the army is far inferior, and there is no way to fight this battle.
It's just that Gus always felt that there would be some chance.
"I'm sure I can think of a way out of this situation." Gus pressed his head and continued: "Everyone, please do what you can, we will work together to get out of the current crisis, any way. ”
"Surrender ...... or," finally an archbishop said.
Gus's expression suddenly became extremely cold.
"Rommel, what do you mean by that?" Gus stared viciously at the archbishop who had just spoken: "Don't you even want the last dignity?" ”
"But I don't think we can anger the Fortune God Cult too much, they are a member of the neutral order, as long as we show sincerity, they will not do anything to us!"
