Chapter 1248 Attacking Maichel City

Because, after the God of Fire was completely occupied by their one-god continent, it was the turn of their god-continent to face off.

This duel may end in a few months, but it may also take hundreds or even thousands of years.

Therefore, occupying more cities means gaining more believers.

At that time, divine power and soldiers will have an advantage over other aspects.

For this reason, these beings who claim to be powerful gods are already trying every means to capture every city as quickly as possible.

For example, in massacre, a few cities with fierce resistance were specifically found and then slaughtered.

Of course, during this period, one or two thousand people will be let go.

The purpose was to let them spread the news about the massacre of this city.

So as to intimidate other cities and see if other cities still dare to resist.

Under such circumstances, soldiers in many cities and the chief priests guarding the city would not dare to resist.

After all, if surrender can save one's life, resisting will mean that no one in the city will be spared.

This will allow these Kingdom of God legions to capture some cities at extremely fast speeds.

Of course, there are actually pros and cons to such a thing.

If there are cities that are timid and surrender, they will naturally encounter those who would rather die than surrender.

And often when you encounter someone who would rather die than surrender, that is definitely the hardest nut to crack.

After all, being breached means massacre of the city. No matter whether it is the soldiers or civilians in the city, they will not fight to the death.

Anyway, you will die once, and you can earn another by killing more enemies.

If the city is breached and massacred, there will be no way to take revenge.

…

Compared to these gods, they are ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals.

Narant, however, still maintained his benevolent behavior.

After a day and a half of marching, his army arrived at the city of Maichel.

When Maichel City saw the army outside the city, alarm bells in the city immediately rang throughout the city.

Maichel City was built on a mound and was considered an important place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

More importantly, there are 500,000 permanent civilians in Maichel City, and 400,000 garrison troops.

It is more difficult to deal with than the previous South Carolina City.

But after Nalant came to this flame continent, he never thought of hiding when he saw a strong bone.

In this way, even if the city of Maichel is difficult to deal with, he is bound to win it.

As per management, Narant sent Arnold to persuade them to surrender.

What surprised him was that the captured commander who had remained silent also wanted to follow Arnold.

Nalant did not stop him and allowed the two of them to go forward.

"The commander-in-chief of Maichel City, I am Arnold, the commander-in-chief of the Flame Legion."

"I came here today to tell you that now our Flame Continent has encountered the biggest crisis."

"You should also know that the other four armies of the Kingdom of God are already invading our Holy Continent."

"And the crimes they committed against our Flame Continent are even more heinous."

"If they are allowed to continue their occupation like this, the civilians in our Flame Continent will be slaughtered by them."

"So, I am here to propose to you that you surrender to Lord Nalant behind me."

"Because Lord Nalant is different from those gods. He does not kill innocent people indiscriminately and will not harm the civilians of our Flame Continent."

"More importantly, Baron Narante will not force us to change our beliefs."

"In this way, we can still serve the God of Fire and wait for the day when the God of Fire can revive again."

"Commanders and priests in Maichel City, I wonder if you heard my words."

"If you hear this, please accept my request!"

Arnold stood more than two hundred meters outside the city wall, shouting to the defenders in the city with an extremely sincere expression.

Arnold's sincerity comes from the heart, because he has really seen the difference between Nalant and those gods.

In this way, he has decided that letting the Fire God Continent be occupied by Nalant is the best outcome.

"Bah, Arnold, you traitor, how dare you persuade us to surrender here."

"You are the most trusted general under the God of Fire, but now you have betrayed the God of Fire."

"And he wants to trick us into surrendering!"

However, the defenders on the city wall did not believe what Arnold said.

On the contrary, he despised Arnold as a seller seeking glory.

"Everyone, I, Arnold, swear here that I am really not afraid of death, but I want our God of Fire to survive this catastrophe."

"You can scold me, or you can spurn me, but please seriously consider my suggestion, because you can't defend Lord Nalant's army!"

Arnold was not angry, but continued to persuade him earnestly.

Whoosh whoosh!

"You traitor, shut up!"

Unfortunately, Arnold's response from the city wall this time was a few arrows.

Although it no longer has much lethality due to its remote distance, its attitude is already very clear.

"Dorie, Mike, I'm Cullen!"

At this moment, to Arnold's surprise, the captured leader Cullen also spoke.

"Cullen, are you still alive?"

Nalant and others rested for the night, and many soldiers and civilians had escaped from South Carlo City before.

In this way, the city of Maichel naturally knew that the city of South Carolina had been breached.

But they obviously didn't expect that Cullen, who was on duty in South Carolina City, would be alive.

"That's right, Dori, Mike, I'm alive!"

"It's just that I have become their prisoner now."

"But even so, I still have something to say to you!"

"Then I hope you can carefully consider Arnold's proposal."

"Because as far as I can tell, this invasion team did not do anything malicious in breaking the city."

"This army from the continent of Io didn't even collect gold, and it also preserved the temple of the God of Fire."

"If they can continue like this, then I guess surrendering to them is not necessarily a bad thing."

Cullen immediately began to shout to the top of the city wall.

Of course, he did not persuade the people on the wall to surrender like Arnold did. ,

Because his contact with Narant was too brief, although Narant did very well in South Carolina.

But who knows if he is acting, so after he explained the situation, the decision-making power still lies with the defenders in the city to decide whether to surrender.

"Cullen, we will never surrender."

"If you haven't betrayed the God of Fire, then take this Arnold and leave here. Otherwise, we will be blamed for being rude."

Obviously, the people on the city wall were familiar with Cullen and had some friendship with him.

Even Cullen was suspected of trying to persuade him to surrender, but his words were not as harsh as Arnold's.

Cullen didn't say anything after hearing this, and immediately nodded and returned with Arnold.

"Lord Nalant, I'm sorry, we still failed to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender!"

Before Arnold returned to the formation, he immediately apologized to Nalant.

Narant actually knew that in such a big city, it was not easy to persuade them to surrender.

After all, such a city is considered an important battleground for military strategists.

And those who can serve as leaders here must have enough loyalty and courage.

The God of Fire will definitely not be left to a weakling to guard him.

"Well, please step back!"

Nalant nodded.

After the two people retreated, Nalant said to the messenger on the side: "Then let's start!"

"Yes, sir!"

Woohoo!

The messenger immediately blew the horn.

Immediately, Nalant's army began to move.

The beginning of today's battle is no different from the previous one in South Carolina.

Three hundred magic armored vehicles and fifty trebuchets took the lead in launching an attack on the enemy.

However, Maichel City obviously has more supplies than South Carolina City.

There was also an immediate counterattack in the city.

Hundreds of magic cannons and dozens of trebuchets began to bombard Nalant outside the city.

However, the opponent's magic cannon has a limited range, but it cannot hit the trebuchet.

The only option is to fire at the magic armored vehicle.

But the magic armored vehicle has outer armor.

Even though the armor is not too thick, it can still carry one or two guns.

And these one or two shots are crucial.

Even if the two sides exchange each other, the defenders in the city will lose.

Although they had a commanding advantage, Nalant also had a numerical advantage.

In this way, in less than half an hour, the magic energy cannon on the city wall basically failed to fire, and all the trebuchets were destroyed.

On Nalant's side, ten magic armored vehicles and two trebuchets were lost.

When the defenders on the opposite side lost the ability to counterattack from a distance, they had to make the same decision as the defenders of South Carolina to temporarily withdraw most of their personnel.

For such a strategy, Narant naturally used feints to force them to increase manpower for defense.

However, the defenders in Maichel City must have known that Nalant's catapult could also throw powerful magic bombs.

In this way, even though Nalant's pretend siege army was almost at the bottom of the city, only half of the defenders remained on the wall.

"Haha, do these guys from Io Continent really think we don't know they have that powerful bomb?"

"The strategy used in South Carolina City, now that it wants to be used on us."

"If you have the ability, let these soldiers really attack."

"When his team really climbs the city wall, I will start to counterattack. If he really dares to release the bomb, then it will only explode his own soldiers as well."

The commander of Maichel City could not help but sneer at Nalant's siege strategy.

Because how Nan Carlo City was breached, he had already known how Nan Carlo City was breached from the defeat of some people who retreated to their Maichel City.

In this way, they have already thought of countermeasures.

Because the strength of Nalant's soldiers is not high.

Even if they briefly attack the city wall, they are confident that they can directly drive the enemy back down again.

In this way, they did not have to place a large number of soldiers on the city wall immediately to avoid being overwhelmed by the enemy.

However, the commander of Maichel City had a good plan.

But will Naranter really attack the city of Mitchell as he planned to attack South Carolina?

Apparently Narant is not that stupid.

Because he knew that the enemy already knew his previous offensive methods, and if he didn't change it, the soldiers would probably die in vain.

Ever since, the wrath of magic energy prepared by Nalant this time was not thrown by a catapult.

Instead, the land was prepared and sent under the city wall.

He had used this method several times in the past, and it always worked.

But this was the first time in the God of Fire Continent, and it was obviously impossible for the other party to predict it.

Moreover, because this Maichel City was built on a mound, it did not have the moat of a general city.

This is more suitable for digging tunnels.

At this time, among Nalant's army, in an area covered by tents, thousands of goblins plus tens of thousands of soldiers were digging tunnels.

The goblins were digging in front, and these soldiers were constantly transporting soil out of the tunnel.

The progress of this tunnel is very fast.

Although Nalant's camp is nearly three miles away from Maichel City.

But Goblin Lumba assured him that with the Goblin's mining talent, it would only take half a day at most to complete it.

When Narant heard this, he didn't urge him. Instead, he put safety first, and it didn't matter if the excavation speed was slower than a day and a half.

It's already afternoon anyway, and if we really wait for the tunnel to be dug, we won't be able to really attack until tomorrow.

In this way, except for pouring stone bullets and magic light groups at the city wall and the city, Nalant's army did not really start to attack the city all afternoon.

Although the soldiers pretending to attack ran back and forth more than ten times in the afternoon, these soldiers did not even touch the corners of the city wall.

At night, Narante tried to avoid digging tunnels from being discovered by the city.

Immediately, many soldiers were sent as scouts and ran wild outside the city wall all night.

In this way, at noon the next day, the tunnel was dug under the wall of Maichel without any accident.

"Your Excellency, we goblins have dug the tunnel!"

The Goblin leader Lumba informed Narant as soon as the tunnel was dug.

"Very good, let's get started. Fight as quickly as possible, otherwise the consumption of magic energy shells and stone bullets will be too great!"

Nalant nodded.

"Yes, my lord!"

Then, the goblin immediately started making arrangements.

At the same time, Nalant also issued an order to Quick and others to form formations and prepare to charge at any time.

When Quick went to take stock of his subordinates, magic armored vehicles that were close to being scrapped were driven over.

This magic armored vehicle was damaged during the bombardment in the city yesterday.

The magic cannon above the magic armored vehicle has been destroyed.

There is also a hole of more than 20 centimeters on the surface of the car body.

However, these damaged areas have all been repaired at this time.

The entire magic energy truck was filled with more than ten barrels of Glory's Fury with added ingredients.

It only took ten minutes for the magic armored vehicle to be installed.

The long lead also extends to the tunnel entrance.

"ignition!"

Narant directly gave the order to light the fire.

Bah, bah, bah!

As the fuse was ignited, the fast fuse quickly burned toward the tunnel.

"Look, the invaders in the city have begun to form formations again!"

"Hey, why have the teams assembled by these invaders changed this time?"

"Are you ready to start a real attack?"

The city guard commander and the priest also saw the cross-dressing outside the city and immediately became vigilant.

Because Nalant had only used the Divine Kingdom Guards to feign attacks before.

But this time, the Storm Knights and the Orc Legion were assembled.

Moreover, hundreds of hawks appeared in the sky.

"Priest Duoli, you can rest easy."

"As long as there is no chance of being used by their powerful bombs."

"Then these enemies will never be able to defeat our dangerous Maichel!" (End of Chapter)
