In the first battle of the fortress of glory, the Snowton South Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses.

The legendary warrior Carter Roman was wounded, and the dragon knight Davide was seriously injured and unconscious, and attacked the two squadrons of the "Horizontal Sword Battalion" at the head of the city, and almost wiped out the entire army. This made the entire middle route army look a little demoralized. King Nacini and the middle and senior military officials convened a meeting of the General Staff and civilian and military officials to discuss the next response.

"The range of an ordinary catapult is two hundred to three hundred steps, and even if it depends on the terrain, it is only five hundred steps," the sharp-eyed young staff officer stood up and introduced, "And this kind of magic ballista of the Bright Sect is far beyond this range...... According to our estimates, there is also more than a mile from the north wall of Severa to the fortress of glory, but those light spears can hit the top of the fortress neatly, which must be calculated according to the maximum distance......"

"Conclusion. Seeing that he was about to go on and on, Cattroman interrupted directly. The defeat in the battle, the slight injuries, and the loss of the "Horizontal Sword Battalion" under his command made the legendary warrior's face gloomy to the extreme.

"At least fifteen hundred steps, maybe even two thousand. The young staff officer didn't dare to talk nonsense, and bowed back.

All the people in the tent looked at each other. You must know that the camp of the Middle Route Army is only 2,500 steps away from the city of Severa. In the usual siege battles, this is an absolutely safe distance. After the battle, they had to advance to within 500 paces of the city wall in order to provide fire support for the besieging troops.

"Is the White Tower behind it?" asked King Nacini as he turned to Villanoo.

"No, I don't see any signs of White Tower's move. The old magician shook his head and replied, "They should have directly called on the power of faith stored in the Divine Array of the City Wall to provide energy for those ballistas. ”

"Master, how long do those divine powers last?" asked the commander of the Third Legion, a tall old man. The sideburns are gray, but the eyes are bright, and the strength is obviously good.

"If it's Frodo's kind of county, it won't take long," Bilanoo sighed helplessly, "but this is Severa, which has a longer history than Ranken, and is a place where the Church of Light is painstakingly managed, and there are many believers...... One or two thousand years of accumulation. The power of faith is as vast as the sea, and I am afraid that it will not be exhausted in a moment. ”

The generals and officials present fell silent again. Storming the city with the "Bright Ballista" is not enough to fill even if there are 100,000 people, and if more than half of the battle losses are lost, how can we talk about the southern expedition to Lancoln and the unification of the mainland?

"General Carter Roman. What do you think?" King Nacini first asked for the opinion of the commander-in-chief of the front.

"I wonder if the other walls have ballistae?" said Cartroman, nodding to the king. Fang turned his head and asked the Ranger commander in charge of spying on the military. The "Bright Ballista" is fixed on the castle tower and connected to the Divine Array, which is very troublesome to move, and if you can't attack from the north, then you have to choose three other directions, even if the terrain there is not suitable for large-scale legion combat.

"Yes. But rarely," replied the Ranger Commander, whose eyes were as narrow as eagles, after a moment's remark, affirmatively, "on the other walls. There are also tarpaulin covered machines, about one or two of each tower, of course, it is not ruled out that the other party has a suspicious array. ”

"Your Majesty, Marshal, Your Subordinates......" The young staff officer suddenly said respectfully, and stopped talking.

"It doesn't hurt to be outspoken. King Nacini looked at him and nodded in agreement.

"That kind of ballista is amazingly powerful, but it is not easy to disassemble, and it can only be defended, not attacked," the young staff officer said eloquently on the military map, "We can mobilize the second-line army to blockade the city of Severa from all sides, and the elite troops will divide into several routes and take the opportunity to take advantage of the entire Northwest Theater of Operations......."

"What's the point of capturing the Northwest Theater without taking Severa?" said King Nacini waving his hand in annoyance, he didn't like the feeling of being stuck in his throat.

"According to the intelligence of the secret agents in the city, the priest of the church has been organizing the residents of the city to pray collectively," the eyes of the young staff officer flashed with confidence, "The Holy See of Light has always been good at inspiring people, and there is a precedent for gathering the power of all people during Lanken's offensive and defensive wars, so I speculate that the power of the Divine Array may be somehow related to the ups and downs of the hearts of the people in the city......" The staff has access to most of the military information, so it was not surprising for him to learn about this, but there are very few people who will dig deep into the information contained in it.

"Are you speculating again?" the old chief of staff interrupted him coldly, "what if your guess is wrong?"

"Then it is better for us to capture the Northwest Theater than to waste time under the city of Severa," the young staff officer immediately retorted, "and at that time, the desperate hearts of the people may bring unexpected results." ”

Seeing that they still wanted to quarrel, Carter Roman coughed lightly and said, "Let the king decide." ”

"This is a feasible plan," said King Nacini, who was resolute by nature, and after only a little thought, he decided, "Generals, reorganize your troops and prepare for battle." ”

While the Central Route Army hit a wall, the Western Route Army advanced smoothly.

The Dominion of Ferenman was a noble domain that was later attached to the Duchy of Ian, and although there were several cities in the territory that were not inferior to the county towns, their walls were not supported by a magic array. This gave Allegri and Vulcan Fury a chance to play to their heart's content.

With the magic array as the tactical core, Albert swung his army south, and attacked three large cities and more than a dozen small cities in a row. Because there were too many soldiers and prisoners, he had to divide two divisions and regiments to be in charge of detention work. Later, the prisoner camp was overcrowded, and the entire Seventh Regiment became a guard. For this reason, Ebert had to send the recruits who had been forcibly recruited by the Holy See back home, so as not to waste his food and grass.

Soon, the Western Route Army was less than 100 miles away from Ferenc Manchester City. Unlike the strong-walled Xilin County, the enemy forces constantly sent small units to harass their flanks and rear. It was the enemy's commander who knew the horrors of the "Vulcan's Fury", so he tried to delay its progress. Otherwise, without the blessing of divine power, Ferendum Manchester City can only watch the other party break through the wall.

"Capture this city, and our mission will be completed," said Ebert, who raised his whip and pointed in a deep voice on the hill, "Our army is stationed here, and if you prevent Torm from advancing eastward and the Holy See army from making a detour, the king will be able to storm the city of Severa." ”

"yes. Allegri echoed with a smile, and the two rode forward, the banner flying behind them.
