Chapter 257 Beiyi City - Nobles ready to buy their lives

"My general, when are you going to take action?" Weilin asked while looking at the roasted meat on the wooden stick.

Dredd 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 surrounding situation. I believe they will make the right choice."

"Isn't there an ambush in the north?" Weilin asked curiously.

"Sir, our goal is to occupy Beiyi City, not to cause the other party to resist to the death. As long as we achieve our goal and let the other party leave, our army's casualties can also be reduced."

"Then follow the general's wishes." Weilin said, then looked at the other person and warned, "General Endeke, after the city is broken, you will lead the second battalion to the Beiyi Palace Complex and blockade the surrounding areas. Don't Keep people close.”

"Yes." Endek nodded.

As the attack date was determined, the troops blocking the city slowly began to move.

During the past few months of blockade, the siege equipment has been completed. There are various magic circles carved by magic craftsmen on it. The materials used in key places are also extremely strong. It is even more difficult for the city wall defenders to destroy these things.

Beiyi City's magical defense canopy has a more powerful ability than Huoye City, which is enough to withstand damage from the outside by soul-level experts. It also suppresses soul-level extraordinary beings within the covered area, preventing them from exerting their full potential. strength, so the army could only conduct a strong attack from the ground and seize the city wall.

At the end of December, the atmosphere in Beiyi City became increasingly weird. In the name of a banquet, the three earls of the Duke of Bogonghan met again to discuss countermeasures.

On the ground, the stand-ins of the three earls took the place of themselves, talking to each other and sending signals to the outside world.

There is a dark room located thirty meters underground. The surrounding magic circle is lit, 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 while watching the message from the army outside the city.

"The message given to me from outside the city is very clear. Let us not resist tenaciously. As an internal response, this should be the meaning." A man in black robe looked at the sentence on the paper, "Those who understand current affairs are heroes" and explained to the two .

After hearing this, the man in black robe on the left said: "Important places in Beiyi City are defended by Heloise's army, including the mage tower, Beiyi palace complex, the city lord's palace, and the granary. There are no more than four places in Beiyi City. Thousands of people, the fighting power is obvious to all. With our army, we cannot shake these four places. "

"What I want is to wait for the army outside the city to attack, and let our people take advantage of the chaos to defect and help them break the city." The man in black on the right thought for a while and replied.

"This method won't work. A month ago, Heloise had intended to mix her army with ours to defend the city, and at the same time install supervisors in our army. The most important thing is that the magic cannon operators are all loyal to her. If we take advantage of the chaos and defect, no matter what the outcome, we will definitely die first.”

After the two listened, the three of them fell silent.

They didn't have to go up to the walls to fight, but they were inside the city.

If that woman was desperate and fired into the city, with their strength, it would be questionable whether they could block a few magic energy cannons or even an energy ball.

"Who would have thought that the strength of the Bahio Kingdom's expeditionary force was lower than we expected. If we had favored the third prince at that time, we might not have faced this dilemma."

"You are right, but the eldest prince, His Highness Kaia, had the upper hand at that time. The third prince, His Highness Allen, retreated to the southern region. The central region fell directly into the hands of His Highness Kaia. If we do not fall to His Highness Kaia, we may die inexplicably. In the territory, people who are close to each other will succeed us in the title," the man in black said, his tone full of helplessness.

The man in black on the left said with difficulty: "The leader is the heir of the Eagle Count of the Kingdom of Ilia. When he attacked Fire Leaf City, Icaron paid the fine and pardoned his crime. The family was able to retain the right to rule the territory. It has also been preserved and we can reproduce it.”

"Have you ever thought that our territory has been captured, and now we are like homeless wild dogs." The man in black on the right said with a bitter smile.

"Wild dogs, such a vivid metaphor!" The man in black in the middle had a bitter look on his face, and only they themselves knew what they were feeling.

"Then buy your life with money. We are all sensible people. I don't believe you don't have a few secret treasures. Who is the commander outside the city? Everyone knows that his father is a high-ranking member of the expeditionary force. He is offering our wealth to us." , as long as the territory can be taken back, everything can be "taken back."

After some struggle, the other two finally decided to use money to buy their lives.

However, when the opponent attacks the city, they must 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 Beiyi City, the city's copper bell rang, the 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 walked out of the city lord's mansion fully armed. Her red armor was very dazzling. She was surrounded by dozens of guards. She was followed by a soul-level female swordsman and walked towards the city wall.

Climbing up the east city wall, looking at the enemy troops arrayed, 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. This is a typical situation of being surrounded on three sides and missing one. It disrupts our morale and forces someone to hope that you will break through and give up Beiyi City." A middle-aged general came to Heloise and reported to her loudly.

The three earls standing not far away stopped and did not step forward.

They originally came forward to advise the other party with this idea, but someone pointed it out, so it was useless.

"General Qien, I know all this. The city defense is handed over to you. If there are those who disobey orders and disrupt the order in the city, you don't need to report to me. Just put them out and kill them all."

"Yes."

Heloise's voice was not loud, but the nobles around her could hear it clearly.

This was a glaring threat. Due to the female swordsman beside the other party, everyone lowered their heads and looked at the stone bricks on the ground, admiring the texture on them.

"Attack."

Outside the east city wall, Draid 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 wall, and Endek, who was in charge of the south wall, issued an attack order and began to attack the city.

Due to the existence of the magic defense sky curtain, the siege army lost the ability to attack from a distance and could only attack from the ground.

A large number of soldiers died under the attack of the magic cannon, their limbs flew in the air, and their blood dyed the ground red.
