"Chapter 302: White Oak's Defense Crisis"
In the inner city of White Oak, the towering minarets still stand as usual, but the people who live in the city look at it differently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the days before, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the towers in their city. Indeed, he was grandiose and tall, and the hundred-meter-high tower had always been a symbol of the city, and anyone who could see the scattered branches and leaves of the oak trees made of metal and magic crystals on the tower for five kilometers would be seen, but nothing more. For the locals, the minaret is just a decoration and has no special significance. Just like the defenders of the city, they used to joke about the spire, "Are you waiting for the tower to help you fend off the enemy?" ”
But the funny thing is that their words came true, the White Oak Tower of Honor (the full name of the Spire) really helped them stop the enemy attack this time, and after that powerful arcane impact, everyone was shocked, and those who had lived in the city for decades had just discovered that the spire in their city was so powerful, which shocked and excited them.
For a time, the minaret became the focus of the whole city, and people were talking about why this minaret, which had not changed for hundreds of years, had such a powerful attack, and many people attributed it to the construction of successive monarchs, who praised the foresight of Salondron the Great, and also praised the minaret, hoping that it would stand. For the first time in their lives, the inhabitants of the fortified city who had lived in this fortified city had taken the minaret so seriously, and they had even grown tired of seeing it every day, affecting their mood.
Human emotions and changes, how interesting.
The army outside the city stopped attacking, and although the residents of the inner city already knew the news that the outer city had fallen and the other party had arrived at their doorstep, they were no longer afraid, with the previous two victories, plus the above propaganda, they also believed that the other side would retreat on their own in a week, and the victory would return to them.
However, just as the residents praised their spires and thought they were safe, in the magic circle under the spire, several magicians sitting in the center suddenly woke up from meditation, and they clearly felt that the magical energy from the underground had suddenly decreased somewhat, and that part of the elemental absorption engine had also lost contact with them. The leading mage didn't panic too much, now the spire was absorbing energy and transforming arcane energy, this stage would take a long time, and any of them, especially his absence, would seriously affect the speed at which mana was gathered. Eventually, he sent a high-ranking official magician who was waiting outside to General Seon Horner and report the situation to him and the commanders of the army.
In the city's barracks command post, General Seon Horner was still sitting in front of the map, discussing the defense with the other two generals. After this blow, they believed that the other side would not last long, and with the kingdom stepping up the collection and opening of important war storehouses, the military rations in the city could hold out for another two months, and victory seemed to be within reach.
However, Seon Horner did not relax, he knew that the other party's strength was strong, and the army was not much food, and there were many holy waters to heal the wounded, and the speed of army expansion was terrifying. In the next period of time, the opponent may attack the inner city in a frenzy, and if they can't hold it, then everything before will be in vain.
However, just when the three of them were discussing how to deal with each other's strong men and fight for their own strength, a magician suddenly came to the door and brought an urgent message.
"Magical equipment underground has been discovered?! How can it be! How they did it! ”
As a young man, Margor Subic's emotions are more likely to get out of control, and he slapped the table directly, and his complexion changed greatly.
"Let's leave it alone how they did it, even if they stumbled into it by mistake, it says two things. First, the other side has a way to get these instruments, and second, it is very likely that they have already guessed the use of our engine. Barod Trevor held out two fingers and tapped a few times on two other locations on the map, both of which were near the outtown.
"If they find the first one, then the remaining three will also be very dangerous, and if we don't hide or remove the instruments as soon as possible, then within three days, these two engines will be discovered and dug up by the other party, and then the Arcane Tower will not know how long it will take to gather energy." Barold said solemnly.
"We have to keep them underground, even if the inner city is stronger, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them. By the time they got to the rock layer below and couldn't dig anymore, we had lost at least three engines. If there were no engines, the Arcane Energy Conversion would be insufficient, and it would be almost impossible for us to activate the Arcane Tower. Margor added.
At this time, the two men looked at Seon Horner, who was still looking at the map; The old general, I hope that he will give the order as soon as possible and save important city defense buildings.
"Either way, it's bad news, and it seems that we are underestimating them, not only are they strong in the military, but they are also very good in engineering." Seon Horner didn't seem to particularly care about the tower, but talked about the opposing troops.
"This is important news, and we have to be prepared to defend the city in case they use similar tactics to cause us more problems." General Seon still said this, seemingly unconcerned about the city's most powerful defensive structure.
Margor seemed to have some confusion about what the teacher meant, and Barrod was thinking about what General Seon should be thinking.
"I'm not worried about the tower being recharged, because I know that even if we give us three more engines, it will be difficult for us to launch the next attack before the opponent retreats. I have to tell you that our predictions were wrong, and that the Arcane Tower requires far more energy than we thought. General Theon said, glancing up at the magician.
"Did that engine cut off?"
"When it's taken out, the engine cuts off the supply on its own." The magician replied in the affirmative.
"Well, I'm more worried about what they're doing with our engines than if our tower doesn't start. The tower's engines were in the best position, but it was also a little far from the inner city, and this situation was still not expected. Since this has happened, and the arcane attacks cannot be used soon, we should develop new ways to deal with their possible attacks as soon as possible, and it is not wise to blindly compete for the engine. With that, Seonhorner asked the magician to leave, and devoted himself to thinking about the defense of the city.
After listening to General Seon's words, Margor and Barrod thought carefully for a moment, and finally shook their heads and continued to formulate a defensive plan.
