Chapter 1058: Rasha

There are many meanings in Roddy's words, and Jeremy didn't speak for a long time after hearing the words.

The waiter knocked lightly on the door, and then began to serve the dishes—the dishes here have begun to be divided into procedures like French cuisine, instead of being served all at once. After the appetizers and drinks were served, Jeremy didn't continue to exchange pleasantries, but talked about the situation of the battle with some complaints: "It is reasonable to say that Rahiman's army has not enjoyed peace for too long, and there is still some distance from 'abuse'. , but the current battle situation is something we never thought of..."

"I have seen the guards of Duriel City, and their strength is definitely not weak in the whole battle, so I am also curious about what made the battle so intense?" Rody took a sip of the fragrant fruit juice, "Mithlan The ambassador told me a little bit, but he obviously hasn't actually been on the battlefield, so a lot of the information sounds too vague."

When facing the ancient giant beast last time, the murloc army from the sea first attacked the city, and under the situation of being attacked from behind, Duriel City still quickly organized an effective resistance-of course, this kind of resistance faced The ancient behemoths are really stretched, but if it is a normal war, there is indeed something remarkable.

Jeremy smiled bitterly: "Mislan has made quite a lot of achievements in academics, but he really doesn't know anything about the battlefield."

He took a bite of the appetizer with a fork, and waited for a long time without hearing Roddy's response. In such an occasion, if the official topic is started first, the momentum will be a little weaker, but the speaker has no choice but to finally say: "The war ahead is more difficult than Ambassador Mithlan understands. We have already lost countless people. In an important city, the original line of defense is constantly being disintegrated..."

When Rody achieved his goal, he was no longer silent: "Is there a map?"

The speaker tapped the table with his finger, and the originally flat wooden table quickly condensed mist of different colors. Roddy could feel that this was pure elemental power, and they quickly formed a miniature sand table under the control of the speaker's mind—— Cities, rivers, woodlands, sand dunes, and even relief are all represented.

This move not only reflected the speaker's superb magic ability, but also made Rody understand that the opponent is also a general with commanding ability, because he not only showed the terrain, but also used a few simple symbols to mark the number of troops hoarded by both sides.

"It's defending here?"

Before Rody came, he got a rough map from Eveli, so he could match the number right away. He pointed to an area where the fronts of both sides were anxious—this city was built next to the river, named "Rasha", and was also called "Desert Pearl" by Evely.

The reason for this name is that one side of the river is the Rahiman territory with forest vegetation, while the other side is gradually barren, and after a hundred miles, it gradually becomes a desert... The entire city is the only populated area at the top of the green area.

"It's not... it's trying to retake the fallen Rasha.

"

Jeremy frowned: "It fell a week ago."

Rody frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of war, taking down Laxia City meant being able to control the entire river channel—whether it was defending the fortress or used as a logistics base to transport food, this place was definitely the best choice. And such an important place was captured by someone? If you are defending yourself, the main force must be piled here.

"I know the Prime Minister's doubts, but the fact is... the enemy's attack was unexpected."

The waiter served the second round of dishes and left. Jeremy organized his language in this moment, and described in detail the reasons for the fall of Rasha City-"unexpectedness" was obviously the first element, because whoever was in Rahiman's army I didn't expect that the enemy would suddenly cross the river and attack directly, so the preparations were not sufficient.

But the most important reason lies in the second point: the enemy has used a "cannonball" that can target the magician.

"They are still using very primitive catapults. The stones that can be projected have traumatized the collective spirits of the mages in the entire city of Rasha, and they cannot release spells in a certain area afterward-you must know that Rasha is an important defensive city. The proportion of mages is extremely high..."

Because there are many mages, the defense method is completely different from normal cold weapon troops. From the handling of materials to the stringing of the crossbow, even several expensive magic crystal cannons must be controlled and aimed by the mage. However, Rahiman ruled the country with a parliament, and the army must be controlled by the parliament—this led to the fact that the command staff were all mages... Therefore, when the enemy's trebuchet made the mages vomit blood and fell unconscious, the order of the entire defense line collapsed on the spot.

Rody raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It felt like an electronic information force had been hit by an EMP head-on. All the weapons and equipment in his hands were useless. If the command was completely silent, then the battle It's true that you can't win.

Jeremy's face was full of bitterness: "The council attaches great importance to this matter, but after recovering the catapult for research, they still don't know what the reason is. The current speculation may be related to those religious remnants."

"Divine power?"

"If it's divine power, of course we can identify it. After all, the council has fought with those divine sticks for many years." Jeremy sighed: "But the problem now is... this is something completely beyond the scope of our knowledge."

Roddy narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Jeremy continued to explain the current predicament: "So after the city fell, we immediately organized a counterattack to take it back, but the enemy kept guarding against it with the help of Rasha's city walls. Without the assistance of mages, the army's combat effectiveness was not even half— —So the result of the discussion in the parliament today is to try to prevent the enemy's follow-up troops from replenishing and continue the siege. After all...if they succeed in replenishing their troops, we can only shrink the entire front."

It is said that the snake hits seven inches. The enemy Rahiman faced was obviously very smart. The early multi-point blooming tactics paralyzed the commander. Consolidating the results of the battle, Rahiman will completely change from active to passive—in other words, it is true that Roddy arrived here so soon. If he comes back in three months, he will probably face a heavily guarded building. the enemy fortress...

"How many people are there now?"

"The enemy army is less than 2,000, and the ordinary people are more than 50,000. However, we have never known how those weapons that can ban magic are made, because every time they attack, they throw them out as if they are not afraid of consumption. A ball of fire can be thrown over a city wall."

The main course was served on the dinner table, and the sand table dissipated into a thick fog. Rody stared at the table in thought, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Can you borrow some mages?"
