The siege is progressing well.

No matter how much the Rat King encouraged his subordinates, he couldn't reverse the decline.

Because, the data gap is here, and the fact that the rat man can gain any advantage is not in line with the objective conditions.

So Luo Zixuan concluded from the beginning that it was impossible for the rat people to win.

If it continues to fight, it will only increase casualties for the rat people, and it is simply meaningless.

The most rational way is to recognize the difference in strength, and then surrender and swear to convert, and the whole clan can join the Cult of the Machine God and be continued.

However, it's a pity.

It is impossible to expect carbon-based organisms to remain rational.

Luo Zixuan judged that unless he suffered heavy casualties or killed the Rat King, who gave them the support of their faith, they would not be able to end the war in a short time.

The Cult of the Mechanics continues to blast through the steel barricades that block the main entrance.

Finally, the destruction of the city gates began.

It was a grid-like iron gate that made it easy for the defenders to poke with spears in the rear.

It is quite heavy and sturdy, and it is difficult to destroy the gate if it were to be bombarded directly with a grenade.

However, there is simply no need to do so much. In the face of a phenomenon, we must directly see through the essence behind it.

The fundamental reason why the gate was able to seal the entrance was that it was embedded in the narrow space of the gate and fixed with a pointed tip pierced into the ground.

Then, as long as the top of the gate or the surrounding area is destroyed, so that it can no longer provide a fulcrum for the gate, it is natural that it can directly fall to the ground without destroying the gate, and clear an effective offensive route.

Of course, Luo Zixuan did not directly tell the believers how to solve this little trouble, but only witnessed them bombing towards the gate one after another in vain, leaving only some shrapnel scratches and charred black.

Even after watching some believers begin to be killed by the spears thrown by the rat people from the city wall as the front advanced, Luo Zixuan remained silent.

He didn't care about the lives of his followers, in fact, he valued every warrior who believed in him.

However, that doesn't mean he will easily ask them what to do.

There is no chance of defeat in this invasion, so minor casualties are acceptable and fully within the expected range.

This is the price that must be paid for the progress of the army.

They have to overcome obstacles on their own in order to grow.

As gods, it's impossible to tell them every step of the way.

Not only does this lose the majesty of God, but it also causes believers to lose their ability to think for themselves and become unable to withstand blows, and when they encounter a little setback, they will only ask the gods for help, and if they do not get a response, they will become discouraged.

In Luo Zixuan's view, such believers are no different from waste and worthless.

The battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

Fortunately, Luo Zixuan's believers finally reacted.

Under the instructions of the priest, they began to change the direction of the grenades, concentrating on bombarding the area of the jamb around the gate.

Finally, gradually, with the crushing and splashing of bricks and tiles, the gate began to become more and more unable to maintain stability.

Eventually, under another grenade attack aimed at its body, it could not withstand the impact and collapsed with a bang!

The collapse of the gate means that the defense line of the rat people's city wall has lost its function.

It can even be said that the entire courtyard of the settlement has been lost.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the rats, and their morale suffered a serious blow again.

If it weren't for the existence of the Rat King, their mentality would definitely collapse on the spot!

The Rat King shouted and ordered a retreat, and then dodged and rushed into the castle tower.

Suddenly, a herald raised a retreating gong.

I saw that all the rat men on the city wall left their posts one after another, rushed down the steps, and fled to the fortress a hundred meters away from the gate.

"Do you still have to resist? What stupidity! When the priest saw this, he immediately ordered the pursuit: "Catch up!" Take the castle and they will have nowhere to hide! Dedicate a glorious victory to the god of machines! ”

When the congregants heard this, they all burst into cheers.

However, after all, they were still cautious first, and did not blindly rush through the city gate directly, but chose to advance in small detachments first, and the large army kept a distance in the rear to keep up.

All this is because of the city gate area, which is located under the city tower.

And this kind of city tower has a "killing hole".

In an area in front of the gate, the tower will make a hole in the top of the doorway, so that the defenders can attack the enemy below from above.

This includes, but is not limited to, the use of ranged weapons, as well as dumping hot oil, throwing powder kegs, falling rocks, and more.

Once the army advances, it may be ambushed and cause a large number of casualties.

In siege warfare, many attackers died in this area, often turning into a sea of blood and flesh, so this doorway area and the hole at the top are called murder holes.

Seeing that his disciples attached so much importance to tactics and didn't abandon their minds as soon as their brains were hot, Luo Zixuan was very satisfied.

He doesn't need irrational believers.

As a god of machines, he values reason above all else.

As expected, they were ambushed in the killing hole.

Even though they had raised their guns and aimed high in advance, the five vanguard soldiers still lost two of them under the attack of spears, bows and arrows, and falling rocks.

Fortunately, the suppressive power of bullets and grenades is by no means comparable to the attack methods of the rat people.

The defenders were quickly swept away.

But just when the pioneers thought that the threat had been swept away, Luo Zixuan did not think so.

He assessed a greater threat.

Regrettably, believers who fail to accurately assess this risk factor and let their guard down at will have to pay the price.

Because, at the top of this murder hole, the city tower is connected.

And the Rat King has been commanding in the city tower before.

When he shouted for his people to retreat, he also dodged and hid in the tower.

In this way, when judging a potential threat, it is logical to consider whether the Rat King may also be ambushed in the area.

This is a huge risk.

can't pass people, Luo Zixuan's judgment is accurate.

The remaining three vanguard soldiers paid the price for their immature tactical logical thinking.

Just as they were about to rush through the killing hole at the top of the area ahead, the Rat King suddenly held a giant axe, jumped down suddenly, and slashed!

At that moment, the Mechanicus cultists who rushed to the front were caught off guard and were split in half by the giant axe.

The remaining two soldiers were immediately panicked and hurriedly retreated and opened fire on them.

However, it didn't work - the Rat King was so agile that he would immediately catch up with him at such a close distance!

This prevents them from firing grenades to attack the Rat King. You're going to hurt yourself by mistake.

The Rat King's extremely heavy armor is still in good condition, and the bullets can only make holes, not penetrate them.

As for the main force of the Mechanics Cult in the rear, although they reacted quickly and immediately raised their rifles, it was difficult to provide fire support because of the narrow space of the cave hall and the soldiers' concealment of the Rat King's body!

In less than two seconds, the Rat King used his great axe to cut off the second soldier.

The metal suit could not withstand such a violent damage.

The last soldier died in the fifth second - he tried to draw the chainsaw sword and fight it, but was brutally knocked to the ground because he could not parry the slashing force of the great axe.

Immediately, he was jumped up by the Rat King and stepped on his head!
