Chapter 1127 Burning the City Wall

Just standing still on this high platform, a group of high priests came forward to ask about it.

Although after the siege began, only the mana armored vehicles in Nalante's team were dispatched to fight.

But this can't change Nalante's position in the hearts of the high priests of the Allied Forces of God.

And Nalante's actions just now made them wonder why Nalante suddenly approached the walls of the holy city.

"You high priests, I understand this, so don't worry!"

"In addition, the reason why I got close to the walls of the holy city is because I discovered a secret about the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom!"

"And this secret is likely to help our Divine Kingdom coalition forces break through this holy city and gain the power of war!"

Nalante could hear the concern and curiosity of the high priests of the coalition army, so he smiled without being wordy, and directly stated his purpose for doing so.

"What, discovered the secret of the holy city, can it help us break through the holy city?"

All the high priests of the Kingdom of God were shocked, showing unbelievable expressions.

They have lost hundreds of thousands of hands in this holy city, but it is still far away when they will be able to break through.

So if what Nalante said is true, it is definitely great news.

"Baron Narante, what is this secret, please tell us!"

After the high priests of the coalition army came to their senses, they were no longer calm, and hurriedly asked questions.

Nalan nodded, "All high priests, take a look at the corner of the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom, do you find anything?"

Nalante pointed directly at the walls of the holy city and asked the high priests.

A few of them immediately looked towards the corner of the Holy City and searched carefully.

But after watching for a while, they all frowned, with doubts in their eyes.

"Baron Narante, we... haven't found anything!"

The city wall is still the same city wall, and the corner of the city wall is also protected by a magic circle. They pay attention to the army's siege every day these days, and they are more familiar with it than Narante.

"Everyone, although it's not obvious, take a look at the scratches on the foot of the city wall." Narante reminded.

Only then did the high priests pay attention to the traces that were originally sparse and ordinary.

There are indeed many scratches, some new and some old, but they are all very slight. If Narante hadn't pointed it out directly, they probably wouldn't have cared about it at all.

"Baron Narante, there are indeed a lot of scratches on the corner of the wall, and some of them are brand new. They should be hit by soldiers or stones when they fell... wait..."

"There... there are new scratches on the corner of the wall, what's going on?"

A coalition high priest immediately nodded in response to Narante.

But halfway through the speech, the words stopped abruptly.

Those who can become the high priests of the kingdom of God are naturally not stupid.

I just didn't pay attention before, but now that Nalante pointed it out, I immediately discovered the problem.

"That's right, how did this happen? There are really scratches..."

The other High Priests of the Allied Forces of the Divine Kingdom also became suspicious.

Nalante continued to smile and nodded, "It seems that the high priests have also discovered it."

"There is a magic array on the walls of this holy city, not to mention trebuchets and arrows, even magic cannons can't leave the slightest mark!"

"So, the scars on the corner of the wall that were scratched by soldiers' corpses or stones are obviously very incredible."

"The reason why I was close to the city wall just now is that I discovered this problem, so I went to verify it myself."

"And after my verification, I came to a conclusion, that is, the walls of the Holy City are not 100% indestructible."

"As long as the magic circle doesn't take effect, the city wall can be easily destroyed."

"However, if the magic circle is not effective, the attack power can only be below the extraordinary power."

"Even the power of the Bronze Knight will make the magic circle effective!"

"It turned out to be like this. Only ordinary power can destroy the city wall. So this is really a flaw in the city wall of the Holy City!"

After listening to Narante's explanation, the high priests of the coalition army suddenly felt admiration for Narante, and they could even pay attention to such an inconspicuous matter.

"It's just Baron Nalante. If it is true that only ordinary people can destroy the city wall, should we send tens of thousands of ordinary people here to dig through the city wall?"

"It's probably not easy, because ordinary people are too weak to survive the attack of the Sun God Kingdom."

"Also, the thickness of the base of the Holy City is probably more than ten meters. It would take a lot of manpower and time to dig through!"

At this time, a high priest of the Kingdom of God thought that he had figured out the method Nalante had said to break through the holy city.

Rather, he raised his own point of view.

Of course, this is not a question of Nalante, but a habitual discussion.

Immediately, the High Priest of the Kingdom of God said: "Ordinary people really don't have much resistance to the attacks of the Sun God Kingdom Guard."

"However, as long as we have tight protection and cover, it is not impossible."

"Besides, although the city wall is hard and its thickness is unimaginable, as long as you work hard, it is not impossible to dig through the city wall of the Sun God Kingdom."

"At that time, we only need to dig a few passages two or three meters wide that can accommodate the team to enter the city, and then cooperate with other teams to climb and attack the city."

"Then the chance of this holy city being captured by us will be several times higher."

"Baron Narant's method is indeed an opportunity, and I think it is feasible."

"After all, it is definitely easier to dig out the stone caves in the city wall than to attack the city for several months regardless of losses!"

The High Priest of the Kingdom of God explained clearly and logically.

After hearing his explanation, the other high priests of the Kingdom of God couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Indeed, although it is difficult for ordinary people to dig a hard wall hole, it is more cost-effective than letting the guards forcefully attack the city.

Although ordinary people have poor defense, then do more defense and recruit more ordinary people.

Although the walls of the holy city are deep, more people should be able to dig at the same time. Without the walls, it is impossible to dig through.

"..."

But Nalante was a little speechless when he saw the high priests of the Kingdom of God who were getting more and more energetic as they talked.

This is obviously your own idea, and it will be mine when it comes to it.

I just said that I discovered the weakness of this holy city, but I didn't say how to break it.

"Baron Narante, what's the matter with you, is there anything else that needs to be added?"

"Although you say, we will go back and recruit ordinary people as soon as possible."

"With this method, we hope to break through the Holy City within a month and a half!"

Seeing Nalante's strange expression, the high priests of the coalition army thought that he had something to add.

"Everyone, I didn't think about the method you just did."

"After all, that would be too time-consuming and manpower-consuming!" Nalante shook his head helplessly, expressing his true thoughts.

All the high priests of the coalition army immediately showed embarrassment when they heard the words.

Seeing this, Nalante continued, "Actually, I have a better idea. If I can succeed, I will be more confident of breaking into the walls of the Holy City..."

"Really, Baron Narante?"

Hearing Narante's words, the high priests of the coalition army immediately forgot their embarrassment, and hurriedly asked Narante.

"That's true. However, I haven't tried this method, and I can't be sure that it will be 100% effective."

"So, if you really choose this method, the real result will be determined at the end." Nalante nodded and continued.

"Baron Narante, tell me."

"No matter what, we are all willing to give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, we will definitely not blame Baron Nalante!"

The high priest of the Kingdom of God heard the words but automatically ignored the second half of Nalante's words.

Because in their view, the method that Nalante can come up with may really succeed.

After all, Nalante has been creating miracles since the Dry Bones Hills.

"Then thank you high priests for your trust!" Nalante nodded.

"Baron Narante, tell me what we need to do, what to prepare, and how many people to deploy."

At present, all the high priests showed solemn faces, and they were all ready to cooperate at all costs.

Seeing that they were so solemn, as if they were making a big move, Nalante smiled.

"Actually, there are not many things prepared, just wood and stakes."

"As for manpower, only 50,000 coolies are needed!"

"Wood and stakes, fifty thousand coolies?"

"Baron Nalante, is the number too small, why don't we mobilize another 200,000 ordinary guards?"

All the High Priests of the Kingdom of God were startled, and felt guilty for no reason when they heard Narante's request.

After all, the better the method, the more preparatory work must be done.

Among other things, 50,000 people might not be enough food in front of this holy city, right?

"Guards are also fine, but let's send 20,000 to 30,000, just longbowmen are enough!"

Seeing the expressions of the high priests of the kingdom of God, Nalante did not explain carefully.

Longbowmen do need some, though.

Seeing that everyone still wanted to talk, Nalante waved his hand, "Everyone, I really don't need more manpower and materials for this method!"

"Okay, then we all listen to Baron Narante!"

All the high priests of the Kingdom of God finally gave up.

"Very well, high priests, then stop your siege battles for the next few days!"

"Give me a week, if my method can't break through the city wall after a week, then follow your previous method!"

Narante said.

"Okay, Baron Narante!"

The high priests naturally had no objections.

The attack was soon stopped.

After the offensive stopped, a group of allied high priests dispatched 50,000 serfs and coolies according to Nalante's instructions.

Nalante divided the 50,000 serf coolies into two teams.

A party of 30,000 men went to fell the shackles for timber and long stakes.

The other 20,000 people were sent to the upper reaches of the river on the left side of the holy city to look for mud flats.

A day passed quickly, and with 50,000 people, the timber and stakes were ready immediately.

"Baron Narante, what should we do next?"

A group of high priests of the Kingdom of God have been surrounding Nalante since yesterday.

It seemed that after the siege stopped, they became idle.

Nalante, on the other hand, looked helpless, "Let the longbowmen take cover now, and let the coolies transport the wood to the foot of the holy city wall and ignite it."

"Use wood to burn the walls of the Holy City?"

All the high priests were stunned.

"That's right, it's burning the walls of the Holy City!"

Nalante smiled and nodded.

"Okay...Okay, Baron Narante!"

Although they had doubts, the high priests of the Kingdom of God endured their curiosity and followed Nalante's instructions.

Soon, under the cover of longbowmen and mana armored vehicles, the coolies transported the wood to the lower part of the city wall for ignition.

After a while, the walls of the Holy City could be seen shrouded in flames and smoke.

Of course, because of the height of the city wall, the burning of the flames can only affect the height of the holy city of more than ten meters in the end.

Nalante also told the high priests that the flames in the corners of the city walls must continue to burn and not be extinguished.

After explaining, he personally rushed to the upper reaches of the river on the left side of the holy city.

At this time, 20,000 coolies were already waiting again.

"Rumba, take a look at this terrain and direct these coolies to build a water-retaining dam."

"It doesn't need to be too strong, it just needs to be able to guarantee water storage for more than ten days."

"Other than that, the only requirement is to be fast, and finally it can be built within two days!"

Nalante brought the goblin Rumba over, and immediately began to order the task.

"Yes, my lord, this matter is on Lumbard."

"Such a simple dam, with 20,000 people and enough wooden piles, can be completed in just one day and one night."

Rumba looked at the shallows ahead and patted his chest for reassurance.

The reason why we chose to build a dam in this shoal is to reduce the difficulty of construction.

Otherwise, if it is at a depth of three or four meters, a lot of preliminary preparations are required.

But for this shoal, a temporary dam can be easily completed by placing large wooden piles more than ten meters long and then reinforcing them with sand and gravel.

"Okay, Rumba, then I'll leave it to you!"

Nalan nodded, he was very relieved to hand over such a simple task to Lunba.

After returning to the camp, the front of the holy city and the right wall were still in fierce fire.

A group of high priests are always watching the fire. Once the fire is weak, they will direct the coolies to continue to add fire.

Of course, the burning city wall is not the whole section, but only about one mile wide.

In this way, it is very easy to maintain the burning of the fire.

If it really works, the width of this mile is completely sufficient.

Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to plan, Nalante stopped paying attention and went back to his tent to start practicing.

...

And Narante can rest easily.

But this move he proposed made the Sun God Kingdom a little confused.

Silas originally estimated the days, but now more than half of the half a year that the Sun God needs has passed.

And according to the current form, he can definitely defend until that time.

Therefore, he is also relaxed.

But just yesterday, the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God suddenly made a strange move.

They actually stopped attacking the city. Instead, they set up firewood at the bottom of the city wall and burned the city wall with fire.

Are they thinking of melting rocks with fire?

Is this a no brainer?

Or whimsical?

Everyone knows that unless it is iron ore or copper ore, ordinary stones cannot be melted even if you burn them for a lifetime.
