Chapter 33: The Walls of the Noble District
Outside the walls of the aristocratic quarter of Versailles, Rahu's army was resting here.
Half an hour earlier, Rahu had managed to occupy the business district of Versailles.
After occupying the commercial area of the city of Versailles, Rahu only stopped for a short time before continuing to advance with his army towards the inner part of the city.
Then they stopped their advance outside the walls of the aristocratic quarter of Versailles, and rested here in the darkness of the eternal night.
The battle of the walls of the business district is easier than the battle of the outer walls.
In the battle of the outer city wall, Rahu's army also lost several hundred swordsmen before taking the outer city wall.
While at the walls of the business district, Rahu had his Sakura Shooters perform five rounds of non-stop shooting, and the priest used three area spell strikes.
Sakura Archer's five rounds of strikes and the priest's three area-of-effect spell strikes wiped out the guards on the walls of the business district by more than seven floors.
Among the remaining surviving guards, there are many native creatures and players, and these guards with their own wisdom have taken advantage of the chaos to flee when they see that something is impossible.
Now it's either in the aristocratic quarters or lost in the darkness.
After the deserters fled after the raids of the Rahu archers, less than a tenth of the remaining guards on the city walls.
For less than a tenth of the guards, Rahu naturally would not continue to waste the archer's ammunition, nor would he continue to waste the priest's already small mana.
He stopped the shooters and priests from continuing to shoot, and led the five hundred swordsmen behind him to force their way onto the city walls.
There is Rahu, a seventh-order creature that is a few points stronger than ordinary seventh-order creatures, and these swordsmen are relatively powerful existences in the fourth-order, so they can easily take down the city wall of the commercial district of Versailles.
And the price paid by Rahu was the loss of five rounds of ammunition for all the Sakura shooters, more than half of the priest's mana, and the injuries of dozens of swordsmen.
The city wall of the business district was very easy to take, because the guards of the business district were not much stronger than the outer city wall guards, and even a few points weaker than the outer city wall guards.
But the army guarding the walls of the aristocratic district that Rahu now has to face is different.
Before talking about the army guarding the walls of the noble district of Versailles, it is necessary to say who lives in the noble district of Versailles.
Judging by the name, the aristocratic district of Versailles was supposed to be inhabited by nobles.
This statement is correct, but there are errors.
In fact, in addition to the nobility, the aristocratic district of Versailles was inhabited by wealthy merchants in the city of Versailles and some well-known people living in the city.
The number of these people is about a few hundred people.
The vast majority of these hundreds of people can legally own their own army and have the capital to support it.
Rich businessmen, celebrities and the like are easy to say.
For such people, it doesn't matter who controls the city of Versailles.
Whoever gets the city of Versailles, as long as they don't die, their existence can bring certain benefits to the ruling class.
Wealthy merchants could contribute large amounts of tax revenue to the ruler and increase the wealth of Versailles, and prominent people could also facilitate the ruler's rule to a certain extent.
But the nobility of Versailles was different.
The reason why the nobles of Versailles can have noble status is that it all comes from the canonization of the lord of Versailles.
Without the lord of Versailles, there would be no appearance of these nobles.
Since they are nobles canonized by the lord of Versailles, it means that they are cronies of the lord of Versailles, even if they are not cronies, they must have made a certain contribution to the city of Versailles and the lord of Versailles, and they were canonized.
In many cases, the butt can decide the head, and the position of these nobles is the same as that of the lord of Versailles, and to maintain the position of the lord of Versailles is to maintain their own aristocratic status.
Therefore, the garrison army on the walls of the aristocratic district of Versailles was actually composed of three different armies.
Of the three armies, the most powerful was the garrison set up by the lord of Versailles, and then the army fed by the nobles themselves.
Finally, there is the army supported by some wealthy merchants and prominent personalities themselves.
These wealthy merchants and well-known people either have a deep relationship with the lord of Versailles, and once the lord of Versailles crosses the stage, they themselves will not be happy, or they are attracted by the interests offered by the lord of Versailles, so they join the garrison.
"Mr. Rahu, this time we are still using the archer unit to shoot on the wall of the business district just now, and then take the city wall in one fell swoop?" Yang Xiaoxiao came to Luo Hu's side again.
The battle on the wall of the business district just now left a deep impression on Yang Xiaoxiao.
Yang Xiaoxiao is a well-known reporter for the official satellite TV of Planting Flowers.
At the beginning of the battle where Liu He occupied Qingwu City, Yang Xiaoxiao had not yet entered the game world, but she had seen the video recorded at that time.
In that battle, Liu He's army, whether in terms of the number of troops or the quality of the army, was to crush Qingwu City in all directions.
An army of more than a million units, countless war machines such as catapults, siege bed crossbows, siege ladders, and rambling vehicles were all pulled into battle.
But even so, Liu Hejun still paid a huge price, and this price was even close to the value of an earl-level territory, so he took Qingwu City.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the price paid in that battle at that time was too huge, that video would have been released by the official flower planting to promote the strength of the flower planting official, and the whole world would have known about it.
And in the battle just now, the strength of the garrison army in the business district was much, much lower than the strength of the defenders of Qingwu City, this is a fact.
But don't forget, the strength of Rahu's army is also lower than that of Liu Hejun, and the gap between the two is far greater than the gap between the commercial district and Qingwu City.
Purely from the perspective of strength comparison and difficulty, the difficulty of Luo Hu's attack on the commercial area of Versailles City was far higher than that of Liu He's capture of Qingwu City.
In the case of lower difficulty than Rahu, Liu He paid a huge price.
In the case of higher difficulty than Liu He, the price paid by Rahu was only the injury of some soldiers.
The difference between the two.
Of course, the reason why Rahu was able to occupy the commercial area at such a small cost was mainly because of the geographical advantage.
If the darkness brought by the Eternal Night Chronicle had not provided cover for the Rahu army, the losses of the Rahu army might have been even greater than those of Liu Hejun.
For the sake of the generals, they are different from astronomy, they don't know the geographical advantages, they don't know the strange doors, they don't know the yin and yang, they don't look at the formation map, they don't know the troops, and they are mediocre.
Among the conditions for generals mentioned by Kong Ming, Rahu at least made reasonable use of reasonable advantages and gave full play to the strengths and weaknesses of soldiers.
