Chapter 47: The Battle of Iron Wing Fort (Part II)

A few days later, a mighty army assembled in front of the Iron Wing. On the city wall, the Duke of Arman and the princess not far away looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

Isabella had nothing to say about the betrayer, and she knew Arman well enough to make such sinister remarks as persuasion.

And the Duke of Arman also had the same idea, although he was full of emotion in the face of the object of his allegiance, whether it was apology or provocative words, it was not necessary.

If there is anything to say, it will be after the end of the war.

Leah stood quietly on the chariot, starting from the Cold Lake Mine, her equestrian lessons had not started because of various things, so she could only watch with envy Isabella riding on a tall snow-white war horse, wearing a cloak embroidered with a griffin pattern, walking majestically back and forth between the troops, discussing strategy with the generals, or making morale-boosting speeches.

She was not the protagonist of today's battle, and the princess planned to try a few more simple sieges without the protection of the hymn. Even if it's just a little bit, she doesn't want little Lori to suffer health damage because of this. And, in Isabella's opinion, it's time to get the nobles who have been lying down to win, and just listening to the good news will weaken their will.

What's more, if the soldiers are only training and not accepting the baptism of war, they will always be just new soldiers' eggs. No, if they continue to win like this, maybe they will even have the terrible idea that even training is unnecessary.

It is naturally best for the kingdom and its people to be forever immersed in peace, but once the army is soaked in it, it will quickly become moldy and spoiled.

With the sound of the horn, the winch characteristic of trebuchets was heard in the camp. Then the sound of the projectile.

Crunch-crunch-swish-boom-!!

These war machines, specially enhanced by Jessica, are both powerful and accurate. Even the range has increased slightly. What's even more lethal is that what they throw is not ordinary rocks. Rather, it is a masterpiece of all kinds of alchemy - oil canisters and acid mist bottles.

Flames and poisonous fog spread across the city walls, harvesting the lives of the soldiers in large areas.

Boom - !!

This was followed by artillery, these siege weapons, also enhanced by alchemists, let out a terrifying roar, slamming huge projectiles into the thick walls.

The old duke's mage team also stepped forward, and they began to cast the magic that Leah had created, the Arcanon Impact! It was with this powerful artillery attack that Randall destroyed the gates of Salman's Holy Cult.

However, both the projectile and the magic cannon were defeated by the impregnable Iron Wing Fortress.

[The entire city has been enchanted with enhanced magic!?]

The best way to deal with magic is magic, and this weathered ancient city serves as one of the three nobles, the base of the Britt family, from every brick inside. And the solid gate is attached to the impact-resistant and corrosion-resistant magic array. Projectiles and magic cannons bombarded it and could not achieve good results at all.

Not to be outdone, the enemy then set fire and fired countless huge stones wrapped in grease-soaked cloth. On the city walls, rows of artillery let out a neat roar, spewing out deadly tongues of fire.

Although theoretically, due to the lack of effective range, these munitions must lose some accuracy. Surprisingly, however, they were in fact able to strike steadily and fiercely through the crowd - not a technological innovation, but the result of the long experience of the Iron Wing Knights' gunners.

[It is worthy of being one of the most powerful armies in the kingdom.] It's a shame to be an enemy. 】

Leah used her farsightedness magic to look at those experienced warriors, and she couldn't help but think of it in her heart.

"Send the order down, send out the siege towers and siege engines!, the infantry and archers take cover, and let Master Brown cast fire resistance magic on the siege machine and the soldiers inside!"

Isabella ordered.

A siege tower is a type of giant tower that is as tall as a city wall. Underneath it were rows of wheels, which could be propelled by human power, and the soldiers rode this huge structure close to the castle. Then, with the help of the treads on the tower, he went directly into the city walls to engage the enemy. Disrupt or seize control of the Guards.

"Ceasefire - !! then stabilize - !!"

The huge siege weapons caused fear and confusion among the soldiers. Duke Arman held the scene as steady as he could, and waved his hand to signal the siege weapons on his side to stop attacking.

"Steady, steady!"

He's waiting. Wait for the opponent to come within effective range of artillery and trebuchets.

"It's !! now, fire-!!"

The soldiers, under the leadership of the Duke, resisted firing cannonballs in advance to destroy those huge weapons as far away as possible. And then finally, they waited for this moment!

"Fire - !!"

"Fire !!"

"Fire!"

The sound of commands passed from one person to another, followed by the cracking of various shells.

For a moment, huge projectiles whistled and flew in the air, and the soldiers could only pray in the siege engines, praying that those terrible big guys would not run to their doors.

However, there are always unlucky people.

Boom - !!

A siege engine was struck by a boulder, and the powerful impact made the entire tower appear to burst from within, and countless limbs, torsos, and heads mixed with fragments of wood flew into the air, and then fell with the remains of the tower.

"Shoot the Arrows - !! Shoot the Arrows - !!"

Not only these people, but the soldiers below the siege towers were the best targets, and the archers threw deadly arrows like a torrential rain. Soldiers with shields in their hands weaved from battlefield to battlefield, and when someone fell, someone made up for it.

Eventually, a siege engine approached the walls, but what awaited those inside were flying oil cans, acid bottles, and countless arrows. Even if the magic to prevent burning is applied, fire, acid, poison, physical strikes, not every attack can be perfectly guarded.

Especially Catravade, when Duke Arman lifted the legendary artifact, and then inspired the fighting spirit and slashed it, the power of the fighting energy turned into a blazing light, and the weapon of the god made the battle-hardened knight burst like Kalian! The huge pillar of light only took a moment to destroy two towers in succession.

Then, the siege engine also came to the city gate, but before the poor machine could knock on the gate a few times, it was smashed by the fire oil, acid, and boulders that fell from the sky.

The Iron Wing Knights are like an iron bucket, firmly guarding this fortress. (To be continued......)
