Chapter 177: The Offensive Begins
Where had the captive people seen such a scene, they fell to their knees in fright, and they all looked at the pyramid that rose into the sky in horror, and after several changes in their faces, they turned into a deep sense of happiness, and the eyes that looked at Rod and Jonny did not contain hatred.
Rod noticed the change in everyone's mood and nodded secretly, which was also the effect he wanted to see.
If the people of Leia oppose the annexation of the territory to the kingdom of Sartre and rebel because of it, then it is useless for Jonny to be Queen of Leia. A queen who can't control her subordinates is not a queen.
"Next, this is up to you, and when we return victoriously, it will be the day you become the lady of Leia." Jonny instructed the adjutant that she still had doubts, with a few of them, could they really capture Yalai? The pyramid gave her confidence.
"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Adjutant Joni shouted excitedly, and the moment she saw the pyramid rise into the air, she immediately extinguished her desire to leave a way back.
Daphne and Marianne had teleported into the pyramid, their malaise had completely disappeared, and they excitedly walked into the pyramid's control room.
"Wow!"
It was as if it had come to the sky all of a sudden, there were no stones, no pyramids, and when you looked up, you could see white clouds.
As if stepping on the air, the body slowly floated forward, and the surrounding 360 degrees were full of scenery outside the pyramid.
Above is the white clouds, below is an oasis that has been turned into a matchbox, and in the distance you can see an endless number of battle puppets rushing in the direction of the royal capital.
"Superb."
Marianne's large eyes burst into lilac flames.
"Don't think too highly of this thing, it looks good."
Rhodes walked in from the outside, looking helpless, if it weren't for the sake of deterring the captives, ensuring the stability of the rear, and being able to leave with peace of mind after subduing Laia, he would not have made this kind of thing, which was laborious and limited.
Combined with the existing siege plan and the infinite energy system, it will not necessarily be less powerful than this pyramid, and it can still be used even if it leaves the Northwest Desert.
But definitely not as shocking as this pyramid.
"Lord Rhodes is too modest, and you can be called a master with your ability to design this siege engine."
Jonny genuinely felt that Rhodes was too powerful, her rapid increase in strength, and her huge siege engine that could fly.
She felt that as long as she could master these two kinds of knowledge, it would be enough for her to enjoy it for the rest of her life.
"Now for the operational meeting."
Simone fiddled with it twice at will, and she already had a thorough understanding of the structure of the siege engine, and now Simona of this personality is completely unaffected by external objects.
"The teleporter is starting to recharge, and the scheduled location is directly above Yalai, and the estimated charging time is fifteen minutes."
There was a mechanical sound, and two infinite energy systems came into operation, and the magic light gradually enveloped the pyramid.
Simone waved her hand out of thin air, and a holographic map appeared in the center of the control room, a huge oasis on it, on which there was a large city no less than the city of Anlo, surrounded by an endless number of people who looked the same, so many that there were no gaps around the city.
Kilometers away, these people stared straight at the city, neither moving forward nor leaving, and at the end of the field of vision, more people with the same appearance rushed over.
"Fifty million battle puppets have completely surrounded Yalai, the roads have been cut off, there are no farmers in the fields, the defensive barrier has been expanded, the security monitoring system in the city is fully open, as long as King Leia is in charge of the city, even a shadow will be difficult to sneak into."
Of course, they didn't prepare siege engines and raid plans from the beginning, but according to Marian's idea, they used the shadow to create chaos, sneak attack the major dignitaries who controlled Leia, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill the fleeing settlement elders and the king of Leia, but the reality was not satisfactory.
When the king left the city, the shadows did manage to infiltrate the city and attack several important officials, but the moment the king noticed something strange and returned to the palace, all the shadows were discovered.
And it seems that only when the king stays in the palace can Leia's defenses be at their most effective.
It's as if there is a defense system connected to the king, and even spirits can easily detect it.
Perhaps because of this, after a few temptations, the king would not leave the palace, even if the battle puppets surrounded the city.
"So our plan now is simple, first to break the enemy's defensive barrier, and then we will take the opportunity to attack and kill the king of Arai and the two settlement elders."
Simone gave a brief overview of the details.
Finally, the light of the teleportation technique flashed, and a huge city appeared under the feet of several people, and Simone turned the hologram around, directly zooming in on the hologram.
The city was covered in a bowl-shaped defensive barrier, and three Settlement Elders and a group of Golden Light Settlement warriors fought unusually conspicuously on the city walls, cooperating with each other to guard against the battle puppets.
Together, they threw a golden fireball that instantly spanned a distance of kilometers.
Falling into the battle puppet, it exploded silently, and the golden flames spread outward in circles like water ripples, and the battle puppet ignited immediately when it touched it, and it would be burned to ashes in an instant.
More than 100,000 battle golems turned into air in a matter of seconds.
Strangely, these flames did not incinerate the Oasis plants, nor did they produce the shockwave that an explosion should have, only the battle golems were burned to ashes, but the Oasis was not damaged in the slightest.
"This is a Golden Flame Nova, and its power and range will increase with the depth of mana and the total amount of mana; The design standard for Yalai's urban defense enchantment is 100,000 soldiers. Jonny said with great certainty.
Suddenly, the inhabitants of Yalai fled in panic, and some of the children looked up at the sky, not understanding what was flying in the sky.
The three settlement elders raised their heads sharply and looked fiercely at the sky.
"Now, we have about 500,000 stone tablets engraved with forbidden demon runes, if we use a suicide attack, it is enough to break the defensive barrier in a short time, but you have also seen that even if the king does not make a move, the strength of these two elders is also very strong, and the 500,000 battle puppets are not enough for them to have a few Jin Yan Nova stars, and they must find a way to kill them."
Marianne showed a regretful expression: "It's a pity. "It would be nice if the king could get out of the city, then he could use the Privilege Divine Technique to restrain the other party, even if it was only 0.5 seconds enough to be killed by them together.
"What about the shelling of the pyramids?" Daphne was a little puzzled as to why not shelling the pyramids.
Rod coughed twice: "The maximum power of the pyramid artillery bombardment must rely on the dense elements of the Northwest Desert, in other words, either land to absorb the elemental attack, or wait for the sandstorm, but this is the great oasis where the royal capital is located, and the sandstorm cannot enter." ”
"There are so many restrictions...... It's just weak...... Isn't there a mana bombardment, just like the teleportation spell just now? Daphne looked at it with disdain and doubt.
"Yes, it's just that not only is the charging time slow, but the depth of mana is only about a hundred."
Simone nodded expressionlessly.
"Enough to lure the Settlement Elders out, and then take the opportunity to kill. If they don't come out, or if the defensive barrier is weaker than expected, then use the battle golem to break the defensive barrier, and the forbidden rune can be kept for the king best. ”
Simone looked up at Rod.
"Minister, please continue to summon battle golems, and cooperate with artillery bombardment and battle golems to impact the defensive enchantment."
Simone turned to look at Daphne and Marianne.
"The siege engine will be handed over to the two of you, and all you have to do is keep the artillery bombardment, and then control the gargoyles and ghosts to infiltrate the city at the right time, killing key personnel and causing chaos at the right time."
The attack of the pyramid is not only a deterrent, but also a powerful help to break through the defensive barrier, and the artillery bombardment with a depth of one hundred magic power is enough to withstand tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers.
At this time, Rhodes also secretly asked the intelligent core to scan the city.
[The city is guarded by unknown energy, and it is impossible to perform a full magic scan, is it possible to perform an energy scan?] Prompt! This scan is extremely energy-intensive. 】
A model of the city is displayed in front of Rhodes's eyes, but this city has a detailed street topographic map, but no interior map, indicating that there is an unknown energy guarding it.
In addition, the most conspicuous are the tower-shaped buildings marked by red dots on the city walls.
"No."
