Chapter 90: The Way to Break the Door
The news that Xiao Chen brought back caused a storm within the high-level, and everyone who knew the news had an unbelievable feeling, but the evidence that Xiao Chen took out made them have to believe it. The gods came from the same place as them, and they were all ordinary people.
In particular, Liu Yisheng, who has experienced many divine wars, finds it even more incomprehensible: "Why is the god of nature, who was originally a human being like us, so cruel after becoming a god?
Luo Ling gave him such an answer: "Maybe it's not whether he is a god or not, but what kind of person he was originally." is also a god, He Xiaoxi is completely different, maybe this is the nature of that Spaniard. ”
However, it should be said that this is a good thing, at least everyone's fear of God is naturally a little less, as Xiao Chen said before, as long as it is a human being, it is easier to find weaknesses.

However, the discussion of the gods quickly subsided, because for the people of the Tower of China, the siege battle that was about to begin was the most important issue at the moment.
A large-scale operation like theirs quickly attracted the attention of the Imperial people, and as soon as they approached the Heimu Pass, there would be sporadic Imperial Scouts around them, and several Imperial Mage Eyes released by the Heavenly Masters were also laid down.
Earlier on, there began to be raiding groups of the Imperials, which were usually small in number, usually consisting of one or two detachments of more than a hundred people, and in order to delay the march of the convoys, the Imperials could be said to do everything they could. They had tried raiding in the woods, pretending to be caravans, and using mages to sneak up on them from a distance, but none of them had worked well in the face of the vigilant guards. It's not to be identified early and then wiped out by the mage's magic. It's just that I met the gun array of the guards and there was no return.
The convoy marched until it came to a stop more than a kilometer from Kuroki Pass, and the Imperial army was unable to deal them much of a blow.
Wang Jiyuan asked the guards to arrange artillery positions here, and more than 80 artillery pieces were lined up in turn in the face of Heimu Pass.
The distance of more than a kilometer is already more than the cast distance of a regular attack magic. However, the mages of the Tower of China were able to strike at the Blackwood Pass through joint spellcasting. Fighting here, you can reduce the number of mages used on defense, and use all the mages on offense as much as possible, and maximize the advantage of the number of mages in the Tower of China.
And the opposing mage must fly through the air if he wants to fight here. But then they would be exposed to the attacks of mages and archers.
It took about an hour for Wang Jiyuan's escorts to set up positions and set up defensive formations and facilities.
Due to the loss of Kuroki Pass last time, it was largely due to the surprise attack of the invisible enemy, and this time they have placed newly developed anti-stealth devices around the position.
This tower-like device that is more than one person tall combines several different anti-stealth principles, including the traditional magic detection anti-stealth array in this world, and the infrared detection principle of another world, through the newly developed infrared perception circle of the Ministry of Magic, to detect invisible enemies, and also contains soul scanning magic from the Spirit Tower, once it finds any suspicious situation, it will actively launch detection props from the Tower of Runes to carry out strong detection of the corresponding direction.
"Chairman Xiao, we have completed the combat preparations, and all the units have entered their respective combat positions, please give the battle order. Wang Jiyuan came to Xiao Chen's side and saluted and asked.
Xiao Chen glanced at the artillery regiments that were waiting solemnly around him, as well as the many magicians who had formed a joint spell casting formation, and couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart, he returned the salute to Wang Jiyuan, and then said: "I announce that the 'Thunderstorm Operation' attacking Heimu Pass will start now. ”

The black wood was closed, Emperor Alfred was wearing a battle robe, looking at the Chinese army in the distance with an angry face, the super vision given to him by the jade dragon bloodline made him even able to see the faces of those on the other side.
"Our plans have failed, Stuart, Webb, Gandath, and you all said that the previous strategy of spreading the plague was able to throw the interior of the Tower of China into chaos and allow our warriors to repair. But what did I see? Within a week they had gathered their troops and hit me. Why? Well, you say, why is that?"
Duke Stuart said: "Your Majesty, we didn't expect that the Chinese would control villages and towns so well in just a little time to occupy those places that originally belonged to the kingdom, not only did each village have militias led by veterans, but they also arranged magicians in each village!"
Our original plan was very good even for the Prime Minister in the Imperial Capital, but we didn't expect the other party's hidden strength to be so amazing, you know, in general, our Black Guards and Scouts will not use small villages in the enemy's territory as a target for detection. ”
Duke Webb also said: "Your Majesty, after all, the army of the empire has not set foot on the land south of Heimu Pass for many years, and it is not like the eastern front, where the infiltration of the enemy is very good. Our understanding of our surroundings was still at the time when the Kingdom of Iberia was in control of the area.
Can Chinese...... The Chinese are very different, they are neither a kingdom nor a union of mages, but they rule their lands in a strange way that we have never seen before. ”
"Excuses, excuses!" said Emperor Alfred's tone in a very unkind tone, "just like the harassment operation just now, it is wasting the lives of our warriors. ”
The emperor's palm slammed on the battlements and knocked two palm-sized stones flying, "Now I need a plan, how to deal with these Chinese." Look at how many cannons they've brought with them this time? This is what it looks like they won't stop until they knock down my gates!"
"Your Majesty, I just checked today, the magic circle on the gate below is extremely powerful, according to the power of the pneumatic cannons we know, even if the number of cannons is doubled, it will not be able to open the gate. Master Gandas said, "But ......"
"But if they don't get out of the way, they won't be there, will they?" asked Emperor Alfred.
"Yes, Your Majesty. "Most likely, they'll use their magic to destroy the circle here from a distance, and then use those pneumatic cannons to attack the gates. You know, they have a way for mages to join forces to increase the distance of spellcasting. ”
"Then how are we going to fight back, will you great magicians be able to hit their ground?" asked the Emperor.
