Chapter 1123 Soldiers Approaching the Holy City

"We actually lost a hundred thousand guards. This time our coalition forces in the east are really..."

After the battle, the high priests of the coalition immediately counted their losses.

After counting, the coalition forces in the east have lost nearly 100,000 people from the time they were besieged to the end of the battle today.

If you add the 150,000 to 60,000 coalition forces that went to encircle and suppress the Sun God Kingdom's harassing team before, and then were ambushed.

Then the coalition forces have already suffered more than half of the casualties this time, and it can be said that they have suffered heavy losses.

The high priests of the Eastern Allied Forces were also frowning.

However, at the end, everyone couldn't help but look at Nalante.

"However, even so, I still have to thank Baron Nalante this time."

"If it wasn't for Baron Nalante, then we would not only have suffered a loss today, but the entire coalition army would be annihilated by the Sun God Kingdom!"

"That's right, the support from Baron Narante and the Southern Allied Forces is really timely!"

The high priests of the Kingdom of God in the east changed their subject and began to express their gratitude to Nalante.

At this time, Dagmar also accepted the words curiously.

"Baron Nalante, haven't you been in the Holy Continent all this time? Why did you suddenly come to the Io Continent and bring soldiers into battle!"

"In addition, the southern coalition forces are not close to us, and there are mountains in the Sun God Kingdom to block them. How could you come to support so quickly!"

The question asked by the high priest of Dagmar also expressed the aspirations of the other high priests of the kingdom of God in the east.

They were also looking at Nalante, wanting to hear how Nalante joined the war.

Moreover, the coalition forces from the south came too fast.

It has only been more than ten days since they sent a messenger to ask for help and received assistance today.

Such a time to go back and forth is not enough just to go around the mountains.

"High Priest Dagmar, I heard from you last month that the Sun God Kingdom recruited a large number of foreign soldiers to join the war."

"I know that all the allied forces of the Kingdom of God will definitely have a lot of pressure to face these alien races."

"So, I remembered that I had just recruited and trained the alien legion, so I simply came to the Io continent to support the coalition forces."

"After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the Holy Continent wants to be stable, then the Io Continent must not have the Sun God Kingdom."

"As for why the support of the Southern Allied Forces is so fast, it is thanks to the efforts of all the High Priests of the Southern Allied Forces."

"After receiving the report from the courier, after learning of the crisis in the east, a group of coalition troops from the south traveled day and night, just to get to Pirka City as soon as possible."

"Of course, other than that, it's the reason why we just broke through the gap in the Sun God Kingdom's mountain range."

"Therefore, there is no need to detour around the mountains, but rely on the original road of the Sun God Kingdom to come directly."

Narant smiled and explained.

"I see, Baron Narante, you really have a heart."

"In addition, the offensive of the coalition forces in the south is so fast that they even broke through the gap in the mountains of the Sun God Kingdom."

"It's not afraid of jokes when we say it. We originally thought that the coalition forces in the east might be trapped by the mountains of the Sun God Kingdom."

"At that time, we will have to wait for us to take down the city of Pirka, then rush to the back of the mountain range, and cooperate with the coalition forces in the south before we can finally repel the coalition forces of the Sun God Kingdom on duty."

"Where would we have thought that our eastern coalition forces were being plotted against themselves, and the entire army was almost wiped out."

All the high priests of the Eastern Allied Forces couldn't say a word, not only suffered heavy losses, but also lost a lot of face.

"High Priest Dagmar, in fact... our southern coalition forces were similar to yours."

At this moment, the high priests of the coalition army in the south blushed and spoke to Dagmar and the others.

"Huh?" Dagmar and other high priests of the Eastern Allied Forces were a little puzzled when they heard this.

Their attack speed is so fast, how can they be similar to them.

"Actually, before we attacked Carlos City, we were ambushed by the Sun God Kingdom guards in an open area."

"At that time, the Sun God Kingdom ambushed a large number of orcs and black crowwings."

"When our coalition forces were attacking, these two alien armies suddenly appeared, and we were caught off guard, and we couldn't even retreat completely."

"Fortunately, Baron Nalante appeared at this time, and his appearance directly made the Black Ravenwings of the Sun God Kingdom lose their advantage."

"Then the orcs were also hit hard by Baron Narant's alien legion."

"In this way, the original situation that we might lose at least tens of thousands of troops will be changed. Instead, we will kill the Sun God Kingdom guards to lose their helmets and armor."

"As for the reason why we were able to take Carlos City and the gap in the mountains so quickly in the follow-up, it was actually all relying on Baron Narant!"

"So, whether it's our offensive in the south or today's support, in fact, all the credit still belongs to Baron Nalante!"

"We dare not take the credit."

"That's right, the credit belongs to Baron Narante, we dare not take this honor!"

The High Priest of the Southern Alliance finally finished his explanation.

However, the high priests of the Eastern Allied Forces were surprised when they heard it.

Unexpectedly, the coalition forces in the south also encountered a crisis, which was also solved by Baron Nalante.

"Hehe, high priests, you don't have to look at me like this, I have a thin skin!"

"Also, what the high priest said is too absolute. I, Nalante, do have the credit for supporting me."

"But whether it's the coalition forces in the south or the coalition forces in the east, all the kingdoms of God have shown absolute heroism."

Nalante was very humble, and waved to the high priests of the Kingdom of God.

And his humble words and attitude, it's okay not to say.

As soon as he finished speaking, the high priests of the Allied Forces of the Divine Kingdom were moved inexplicably.

Especially the Allied High Priest in the south.

Nalante had shared the credit with them before.

In their view, this Nalante is not only brave in battle, but also strong enough.

The most important thing is the quality of his personality, which can really be called a model of nobility and a model of knights.

In the past, no matter whether it was a nobleman or a priest of the kingdom of God, whoever had a little glory and merit, they had to take it from themselves at all costs.

If anyone dares to share more, it is estimated that they can fight to the death.

How can he be as humble as Baron Nalante, without arrogance or impetuosity.

"Baron Narante, you are too humble. Without you, to be honest, our coalition forces in the south and east would definitely suffer huge losses!"

"Yes, Baron Narante, don't be humble!"

"Everyone, no matter what, we must hold a proper banquet today to thank Baron Nalante."

Next, came the favorite link of the nobles and those in power.

That's the celebration part.

Although there were no supplies in the city of Pirka, Narante and others also came here with light clothes.

However, as the eastern army of the Sun God Kingdom was wiped out, the large amount of supplies they left behind naturally belonged to the coalition forces.

Therefore, the coalition forces in the east can directly obtain a large amount of supplies without worrying about the shortage of supplies.

Of course, this celebration banquet was not just a group of high priests.

After such a heavy loss, the guards below also need to be appeased.

Therefore, the high priests also relaxed their supplies as much as possible, allowing the guards of the Kingdom of God to eat and drink.

After resting for three days in a row, the guards of the Kingdom of God in the east finally recovered their morale.

After this short three-day rest, the Divine Kingdom Guards did not delay and set off again towards the Holy Capital of the Sun Divine Kingdom.

Even with such a huge loss, the coalition forces did not extinguish their determination to take the Sun God Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Because this battle is no longer just the decision of a group of high priests.

It is their will to believe in the gods.

When the sun god plotted against a group of gods and exposed them, these gods felt a deep sense of crisis.

Therefore, this is destined to be a life-and-death battle.

After reorganization, the strength of the Eastern Coalition Army and the Southern Coalition Army is nearly 600,000.

Although one-third has been lost, if all goes well for the Western Allied Forces, it will still be able to gather a million troops.

Coupled with the fact that a group of high priests have actively sent people back to recruit ordinary guards, there will be more troops coming by then.

Although the combat effectiveness and equipment of ordinary guards cannot be compared with elite guards.

But in a meat grinder like a siege battle, the advantage of numbers is always the last word.

And Nalante also followed the coalition forces and continued to go north, planning to return after the battle to destroy the Sun God Kingdom was over.

And in the battle of Kapil City, Narante did not get much spoils in terms of supplies.

However, in terms of population, another 50,000 prisoners of the Sun God Kingdom coalition forces were obtained.

In order to express their gratitude to Nalante, all the gods gave him most of the captives.

And these captives are still escorted back to the territory by a group of coalition forces.

...

Time turned to half a month later.

During this half month, the coalition forces captured three more cities in the Sun God Kingdom.

However, these three cities are all small and medium-sized towns, and they have no strategic significance.

So the battle was not too intense, and Narante didn't take part in it.

Only the hawk beast team and the long-range attack team were dispatched to assist.

The direction of the coalition forces at this time is not to go to the holy city immediately, because they have not yet joined the coalition forces of the kingdom of God to the west.

In this way, the movement of the coalition forces is heading towards the west, preparing to unite with the army of the Kingdom of God in the west.

Originally, the high priests thought that they would have to go further to the west, at least ten days away.

But just a day or two later, they discovered that the Western Allied Forces were heading in their direction.

When the armies of both sides converge.

Everyone knew that the Western Allied Forces were indeed unable to move forward because of the resistance of the Sun God Kingdom.

It can only occupy the originally captured city and wait for the breakthrough of the coalition forces from the south and east.

Just over a week ago, the Sun God Kingdom's army stationed in the west suddenly began to retreat.

In this way, the western allied forces guessed that the friendly forces in the east or south must have achieved the results.

So they began to march cautiously, heading directly towards the meeting point negotiated with the other two coalition forces.

And there was no danger along the way, and no resistance was encountered.

"It seems that Silas knows that he can't continue to disperse the resistance, so he is ready to gather all his forces to fight us to the death!"

The high priests were not surprised by the choice of the Sun God Kingdom.

Now that the east and south sides have been opened up by them, if the guards of the Sun God Kingdom in the west do not retreat, they may only be surrounded and wiped out by them.

Therefore, the Sun God Nation is now searching for the line of defense and accumulating all its strength.

"Everyone, since this is the case, let's head towards the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom!"

"good!"

The faces of the high priests showed excitement, without any further hesitation, and then the army pointed directly at the Holy City of the Sun God Kingdom.

After merging the coalition forces in the west, the allied forces of the Kingdom of God could reach a million.

Because the fighting in the west is not as fierce as that in the east and south, the losses on both sides are also minimal.

This is also because the west side is sparsely populated, but the checkpoint fortress is the strongest.

From the very beginning, the Western Allied Forces did not think about taking the fortress in the west completely on their own.

So on the contrary, it retains the strength to do more.

...

Next, a group of allied forces marched northward for another seven or eight days.

After seven or eight days, the coalition forces finally arrived outside the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom.

"Is this the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom?"

Nalante came to Io Continent very few times, so he doesn't know much about the humanities and features of Io Continent.

I have only been to the Goddess Kingdom.

And the cities of Goddess Goddess Country, whether they are ordinary cities or holy cities, are actually similar to the Holy Land.

However, the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom is very different from that of the Goddess of Heaven.

Because the scale of the Holy City of the Sun God Kingdom is several times larger than that of the Goddess of Talent Kingdom.

The holy city of the Sun God Kingdom is also built on the mountain, a towering mountain range that stretches for tens of miles.

The mountains present a semi-arc shape, forming a natural towering barrier.

In front of the mountains, there is a towering city wall that cannot see the top.

The city wall is more than 50 meters high, and the moat outside the gate is as wide as 100 meters.

Just standing five or six miles away and looking at the city, Narante could imagine how fierce the battle would be if he was to be captured.

However, I saw the eyes of the high priests of the coalition army.

Nalante also knows that no matter how fierce the battle is, this battle must be fought.

The coalition forces did not rush to attack.

Instead, they set up camp on a high ground outside the holy city.

And this time the camp was built with great care. Obviously, all the allied forces of the Kingdom of God have also planned a protracted siege.

It took a week in a row, and the army of one million spent in the construction of the camp.

Although the walls of the camp were still made of logs, their thickness reached six to seven meters.

First of all, the outermost city of the wooden wall is built by two large wooden piles with a diameter of one meter.

Then, a two-meter-thick soil was laid inside the stake.

After the soil was laid, there were still two large wooden piles in the innermost layer.

Such a wooden wall of the camp, unless it is the strongest, or the title of knight, it cannot be entered by simple destruction anyway.

Coupled with the width above the wooden wall that can already accommodate two carriages running side by side, it is actually no different from an ordinary city.

The only weakness to say is that the height of the wooden wall cannot be compared with that of the big city.

Because the height of the wooden wall itself is only about ten meters.

Of course, in order to improve the defense as much as possible, the coalition forces worked tirelessly to hollow out the soil around the highland.

In this way, a vertical drop of eight or nine meters naturally formed around the breakthrough that originally had a height of more than ten or twenty meters.

In this way, add the height of the wooden wall.

The total height of the camp's walls was eighteen or nineteen meters, equivalent to the height of a medium-sized city.
