"I, General, when are you going to take action?" Velin asked Yu while looking at the grilled meat on the wooden stick.
Draide did not hesitate and gave the answer directly, "On the first day of next year, we will attack from three directions: east, west and south. I, Lord Migos, and Endek will each be responsible for one wall."
"In addition, my subordinates will tell the nobles in the city about this time and the recent situation around them. I believe they will make the right choice."
"Isn't there an ambush in the north?" Velin asked curiously.
"Sir, our goal is to occupy North Yi City, not to cause the other party to resist to the death. As long as the goal is achieved, and letting the other party leave, it can also reduce the casualties of our army."
"Then follow the general's wishes." After Velin said that, he looked at the other person and told you, "General Endek, after the city is broken, you will lead Second Camp to North Yi Palace Complex. Seal the surrounding area and keep people away."
"Yes." Endek nodded in reply.
As the attack date was determined, the Outside the City blockade army slowly took action.
In the past few months of blockade, the siege equipment has been completed. It has Magic Craftsman depicting various magic formations, and the materials in key places are also extremely strong. It is even more difficult for the city wall defenders to destroy these things.
Compared with Fire Leaf City, North Yi City's magical defense canopy has a more powerful ability, which is enough to withstand Soul Intent-tier's destruction from the outside. Soul Intent-tier Transcendent's internal coverage also suppresses Soul Intent-tier Transcendent's full strength, so the army can only attack from the ground and seize the city wall.
At the end of October, the atmosphere in North Yi City became increasingly weird. The three Duke Gonghan Duchy and Count met again in the name of Banquet to discuss countermeasures.
On the ground, three Count stand-ins took the place of themselves, chatting with each other and sending signals to the outside world.
There is a dark room located thirty meters underground. The surrounding array is lit up, isolating the inside and outside, forming a secret space.
The three of them were wearing black robes, sitting on a round table, and fell into silence as they watched the news from the army outside the city.
"The message Outside the City gave me is clear. Let us not resist tenaciously. As an internal response, that's what it means." A Black Robe looked at the message on the paper and said, "Knowing the current situation is a hero." He explained to the two of them.
Black Robe, who was on the left, listened and said, "North Yi City Heloise's troops are defending all important places, including Mage Tower, North Yi Palace Complex, City Lord's Mansion, the four places of the granary, each place has no less than a thousand people, and you and I can see their fighting power. With our army, we cannot shake these four places."
"According to what I think, when the Outside the City army attacks, let us people take advantage of the chaos to defect and help them break the city." Black-clad Figure on the right thought for a while and answered you.
"This method won't work. A month ago, Heloise intended to let her army mix with ours to defend the city, and at the same time install supervisors in our army. The most important thing is that Magic Energy Cannon's soldiers are all loyal to her. If she takes advantage of the chaos and rebels, no matter what the alliance is, we will die first."
After the two listened, the three of them fell silent.
They didn't fight on the city walls, but they were inside the city.
If that woman was desperate and fired into the city, with their strength, they would be able to block a few rounds of Magic Energy Cannon, or even an energy ball.
"Who would have thought that Bashio Kingdom Expeditionary Force's strength was lower than our estimate. If we had favored Third Prince at that time, we might not have faced this dilemma."
"You are right, but at that time First Prince Kaiya Your Highness had the upper hand, Third Prince Allen Your Highness retreated to the southern region, and Central Region fell directly into the hands of His Highness Kaiya. If we don't fall to His Highness Kaiya, we may die in the territory inexplicably, and someone close to the other party will succeed us Peerage." Black-clad Figure in the middle said, his tone full of helplessness.
Black-clad Figure on the left said with difficulty, "The leader is Isia Kingdom Eagle Count's descendant, when Fire Leaf City was first defeated, Ikalon paid the fine and his crime was pardoned. The family can be retained, and the right to rule the territory must also be retained. Can we restore it?"
"Have you ever thought that our territory has been captured, and now we are like homeless wild dogs." Black-clad Figure on the right said with a bitter smile.
"Wild dog, it's a very vivid metaphor!" Black-clad Figure in the middle had a bitter look on his face, and only they knew what they felt in their hearts.
"Then money buys life. We are all sensible people. I don't believe you don't have a few secrets about who the commander Treasure Vault and Outside the City is. Everyone knows that his father is a senior executive of Expeditionary Force. He gave us his wealth. As long as we can get the territory back, we can "get" everything back."
After some struggle, the other two finally decided to buy their lives with money.
However, when the opponent attacks the city, they must also make some contributions, otherwise it will be difficult to get on the line with the opponent.
On January 1, 9727 in the glorious calendar, the sun was shining brightly.
Tens of thousands of troops from three directions gathered here, waiting for orders.
In North Yi City, Bronze Bell was sounded in the city. Mage Tower was activated immediately, and a light blue sky enveloped the entire city.
In the military camp, countless troops lined up and walked up the city wall, looking at the enemy troops outside the city with fear in their eyes.
Heloise came out of the City Lord's Mansion fully armed, wearing a very dazzling red armor, surrounded by dozens of guards, followed by Soul Intent-tier Swordswoman, walking towards the city wall.
Boarding the East City Wall, looking at the enemy troops in formation, my face was filled with frost.
"Sir, there are enemy troops in the west, south, and east, but there are no enemy troops in the north. A typical enemy encirclement is missing one of the three. It disturbs our morale and forces some people to hope that you can break out of the encirclement and give up North Yi City." A Chinese general came to Heloise and reported to him loudly.
The three Count standing not far away stopped and did not step forward.
They originally approached each other with this idea in mind, but when someone pointed it out, it was over.
"General Qien, I know this. I will leave the city defense to you. If you disobey orders and disrupt the order in the city, and do not report to me, I will directly attack them and kill them all."
"Yes."
Heloise said that his voice was not loud, and the surrounding nobles could hear him clearly.
This was a clear threat. Due to the Swordswoman around them, everyone lowered their heads and looked at the stone tiles on the ground, admiring the texture on them.
"Attack."
Outside East City Wall, Draide gave an order, and 20,000 troops began to approach the city wall, preparing to attack the city.
At the same time, Migos, who was in charge of the west city wall, and Endeke, who was in charge of the south city wall, issued an attack order and began to attack the city.
Due to the existence of the magical defensive canopy, the siege army lost the ability to attack remotely and could only attack from the ground.
A large number of soldiers died under the attack of Magic Energy Cannon, their limbs were flying in the air, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
