Chapter 709 Siege (Part )

Among the crowd, the black-haired boy and the silver-haired girl were very low-key, listening silently to Marquis Irus's speech with vigilance in their eyes.

"Brother, we..."

"Shh-"

The black-haired boy put his finger in front and whispered, "Don't tell me yet, we'll tell you after we get back."

"kindness."

The silver-haired girl nodded, held her brother's hand and buried her head.

Looking at the expressions of the adventurers below, Irus was very satisfied.

These people have different strengths and occupations, but their individual combat power is very strong. They are not very useful for defending the city, but they are more than enough to be used as assault troops.

In addition, these people only need to be hired with money, and they may not even be hired if they die. They are simply the perfect cannon fodder.

If the war ends and these people survive and come to me to ask for rewards, I will kill them all on charges of treason.

As long as there is no one who knows about it, no one will know about your verbal promise and your reputation will not be ruined.

"Gold coins will be distributed according to strength."

Seeing this, the two Six-Seal Knights standing behind Irus ordered their subordinates to carry the treasure chest over and opened it in front of the adventurers, revealing the gold coins inside.

Looking at the glittering gold coins, the adventurers standing in the front row began to breathe faster.

"hair."

At a command, more than ten soldiers began to distribute gold coins to each adventurer.

After a while, the black-haired boy looked at the fifty gold coins in his hand, thirty of which belonged to him and the other twenty belonged to his sister.

"Everyone, please rest in the barracks. Once you defeat the enemy, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"My Lord Marquis, don't worry. This is just a group of alien gods. Under your leadership, we will surely be able to turn defeat into victory."

"grown ups……"

Many adventurers began to loudly praise Marquis Irus. After all, talking was free, so why not say a few more words?

Looking at the group of hyenas below, Irus nodded with satisfaction, then left the barracks with his guards.

After Irus left, the black-haired boy and the silver-haired girl found a remote and small tent and stayed there temporarily.

As for other adventurers, they formed teams or groups to look for suitable accommodation in the military camp.

……

On March 9755rd of the Glorious Year , an army of soldiers lined up at the east gate of Soller City.

The armor gleamed coldly and the flags fluttered.

Twenty thousand Badak soldiers stood in the front row, armed with guns and swords, and suppressed their inner restlessness under the scolding of officers at all levels.

In the center, one hundred and fifty medium-sized magic cannons are ready, waiting for the order to fire.

Weilin stood on the left, looked at Kyle and nodded to him.

The attack on the North Sea Region was led by Kyle, and naturally he was also in charge of commanding this siege.

Seeing this, Kyle nodded slightly, looked at the magic artillery troops, and ordered: "Begin."

The sound echoed in the ears of the officers of the magic artillery unit, and hundreds of soldiers began to load intermediate magic crystals.

In less than a moment, hundreds of energy balls smashed into the magic shield, causing waves, but the magic shield remained strong.

Less than half an hour later, 1,800 intermediate magic crystals were used up, but the divine shield above Soller City remained strong, with no signs of breaking.

Seeing this, Kyle ordered the First Battalion of the Badak Army to begin attacking the city.

Led by officers, thousands of soldiers pushed siege equipment and advanced towards the city of Soller.

On the tower, more than a thousand archers and several thousand musketeers gathered on the wall, and under the orders of the officers, began to fire projectiles and arrows at the enemy.

Under the rain of arrows and musket balls, sixteen iron bridges and eight siege vehicles slowly advanced.

The distance was three thousand meters, and more than four hundred soldiers sacrificed their lives to reach the outside of the moat.

Passing through the divine shield, a pressure appeared out of nowhere and pressed down on the soldiers of the Badak army.

"Build a bridge."

Under the order of the officers, more than a thousand soldiers tied the ropes of the iron bridge to their bodies, took up their weapons, and jumped into the river.

A large number of aquatic monsters looked at the humans floating on the water, roared, and gathered on the surface of the moat.

There were arrows in the sky, monsters underwater, and a heavy pressure on his back. Faced with the triple crisis, he remembered the promise made by the commander and his family who were detained in the logistics camp. He gritted his teeth and walked to the other side with difficulty.

Under the cover of the divine shield, it became increasingly difficult for the magic energy in the body to circulate.

In the distance, Kyle looked at the corpses floating on the moat without any fluctuation in his eyes. He waved his hand and asked more than 3,000 people from the Second Battalion of the Badak Army to reinforce.

With his strength, he is unable to destroy the magical shield of Soller City. He can only rely on the army to forcibly build an iron bridge and push the siege vehicles under the city wall to form a gentle slope, providing an attack road for subsequent troops.

Groups of soldiers jumped into the river and swam to the other side, pulling the iron bridge.

In the battle with the aquatic monsters, a large number of Badak soldiers had their bodies torn apart and became food in the monsters' mouths, and their blood dyed the river red.

On the wall of Soller City, the Tenth Legion's deputy general Gref watched the traitors desperately trying to cross the river, his eyes filled with anger and intense sadness.

Under the current system of the kingdom, those who do not become Seven Seal Warriors or above will eventually succumb to the power of the nobles. They will either become hyena-like adventurers, living on the edge of a knife, or become the minions of the nobles and be driven by them.

"General Gref, General Gref..."

Hearing Irus's shout, Gref came back to his senses, with an apologetic look on his face: "Lord Marquis Irus, I'm sorry, I was a little overwhelmed by anger when I saw these traitors."

"Nothing to worry about. After we defeat the armies of these alien gods, it will be time to settle the accounts."

Irus looked calm and did not blame Gref for his rudeness.

Under the auspices of Archbishop Badaletaf of the Church of the God of Beasts, the divine shield of Soller City is virtually indestructible.

Three hours later, at the cost of more than 2,000 Badak soldiers dying in the moat of Soller City, sixteen iron bridges were pulled to the other side.

At the moment when the iron bridge reached the other side, more than ten officers took out the intermediate magic crystals they kept close to them and placed them in the groove at the starting end of the iron bridge.

The next moment, a large number of magic arrays emerged, madly absorbing the magic energy in the intermediate magic crystal.

In less than a moment, the iron bridge began to expand, growing thousands of spikes that penetrated deep into the ground.

Ten minutes later, sixteen sturdy flat bridges spanning 300 meters wide appeared in front of everyone.

Resisting pressure that was twice their own, hundreds of soldiers pushed siege vehicles and stepped onto the plane.

Under the plane bridge, the corpses of monsters and the bodies of soldiers were intertwined, dyeing the moat blood red.

Under the shocked gaze of the enemy, eight siege vehicles were pushed across the moat and approached the walls of Soller.
