Chapter 677: The Fall of Libek City (Part 1)

Two days later, Weilin led 30,000 troops to the outskirts of Libek.

In the camp, more than 10,000 young men who were forcibly conscripted were building the camp and setting up the camp.

Weilin took a look at this scene and stopped paying attention.

It was common to forcibly conscript local young men during marches and battles. Some armies even used them as cannon fodder for sieges after they finished their work.

In the central tent, two guards saw the arrival of the lord, lifted the curtain, and saluted respectfully.

Seeing this, Weilin nodded and entered the tent.

"My lord, after conquering Libek, we are only away from the Algeciras fortress group in the central area of ​​Solomon City in Stovia." Kyle sat on Weilin's left, pointed to the direction on the map, and said.

Weilin looked down and nodded, saying, "It is said that there are a thousand fortresses in the Algeciras Fortress Group. I don't know if it is an exaggeration or true."

"As long as you capture this place, you will know whether it is true or not."

Neither Weilin nor Kyle took the Algeciras Fortress Group seriously.

In the afternoon, the pre-war meeting was held in the central tent.

"Carlisle."

Carlisle, who was sitting in the last seat on the left, stood up immediately after hearing his name, saluted respectfully, and said, "Lord Weilin, please give your instructions."

"Can the Black Rock Army be competent for the first attack here?"

Faced with Weilin's inquiry, Carlisle's expression did not change at all, and he said what he was thinking.

"Sir, the six thousand soldiers of the Black Rock Army, as the most determined warriors of the Goddess of Life, have long been unable to hold back and are eager to fight for you. In this siege, the Black Rock Army will prove its loyalty to you with the blood of the enemy."

"Very good, it is indeed right to hand over the Black Rock Army to you. This time, I will allow you to freely plunder the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city for one day after conquering the city of Libek, but you cannot touch the civilians who do not resist, because they are potential believers of the Goddess of Life."

"Yes, sir."

After Carlisle sat down, Weilin turned his head to look at Greg, and finally looked at Hebrew, and said, "Hebrew."

"My Lord."

Hebrew stood up and saluted with a face full of joy.

"The second battalion is the second-tier siege force. After conquering the city of Libek, I will give it a name."

"Thank you, my Lord."

Hebrew said loudly, his tone full of joy.

After the Qixing Battalion and the Lansha Battalion, the second battalion he commanded will become the third named standing army in Qixing Territory.

Seeing the boy's complacency, Weilin was somewhat helpless. He waved his hand to signal him to sit down, then looked at Greg and Isius and said, "I have seen the performance of the Fourth and Fifth Battalions. After conquering Solomon City, I will reward them."

"Thank you, Lord." The two stood up and saluted.

As for the commander of the Eighth Battalion, Imogen, his face was calm. He did not show obvious competitive awareness about the naming of the troops. It was not that he did not want to, but that the combat effectiveness of his troops was insufficient and the overall cultivation of the soldiers was not enough.

However, not wanting now does not mean not wanting in the future.

According to the characteristics of each unit, Weilin deployed combat tasks separately.

In this siege, the infantry is still the protagonist, and the Knights can only play the role of roaming.

As the order was issued, the magic craftsman began to command the soldiers to build siege vehicles.

The city of Libeko is 21 meters high and has a no-fly ban. The Church of the God of Beasts in the city provides a divine shield covering the entire city, so it can only be attacked from the ground.

Five days later, the army left the camp and lined up outside the city of Libek.

With a thousand men in each formation, thirty square formations marched in neat steps towards the western wall of Libek.

Outside the army formation, thousands of knights roamed in the wilderness, driving away wild beasts, clearing scouts, and guarding the flanks of the army.

On the walls of Libek, the city garrison general Fei Rui accompanied the city lord Harvey to observe the enemy's deployment, his eyes full of horror.

"General Fei Rui, this place is left to you." Harvey pretended to be calm and ordered.

"Yes, sir."

Seeing the city lord who was determined to leave, Fei Rui could only accept the order.

Seeing this, Harvey led the guards to leave the city wall and return to the city.

His family and treasures had already been sent out of Libek. Once the city fell, he would burn the city lord's mansion and leave here through the tunnel.

Although this move betrayed the trust of His Majesty the King, it was more important to save his family and life.

When the army arrived three kilometers outside the city of Libek, a blood-red shield rose from the center of the city, covering the entire city.

Above the shield, more than a thousand kinds of wild beasts loomed, representing the incarnation of the God of Beasts.

In the middle of the army, Weilin looked up and a breath of wilderness came to his face.

In less than a moment, he looked away, raised his right hand, and waved his hand.

The magic artillery unit received the order and began to bombard Libek City.

At the same time, Carlisle commanded the Black Rock Army soldiers to push the heavy siege vehicle towards Libek City.

The energy ball hit the blood-red shield, and a huge explosion sounded, and the magic energy dissipated in all directions.

In the city of Libek, in the Church of the God of Beasts, the bishop of Libek City watched the power on the statue being consumed, and Gu Bo's face gradually became gloomy.

"Tata."

Outside the temple, a Nine Seal warrior wearing a half-mask heard his name, entered the temple, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and saluted: "Bishop, please give me your orders."

"In the church, except for the beast maid, let everyone else go to the west wall to assist the garrison in defending the city."

"Yes, Bishop."

As Tata left, there was a noisy sound in the temple, which soon subsided.

More than 300 clergymen and more than 1,000 war beasts, led by Tata, left the church and climbed the west wall to help the defenders defend the city.

Fei Rui looked at Tata, nodded, and did not speak, continuing to command archers and musketeers to block the enemy's advance.

The Black Rock Army, bearing huge casualties, pushed six siege vehicles and continued to approach Libek City.

At a distance of 1,300 meters, more than 500 soldiers had fallen on the way to attack.

"Put on my armor."

Seeing this, the guards standing behind Carlisle took off their armor and put it on their general.

Entering the range of the blood-colored shield, Carlisle felt that his strength was rapidly draining.

Without time to think about it, he came to a siege vehicle and pushed the siege vehicle weighing hundreds of tons to advance towards the west wall.

Ten minutes later, the siege vehicle arrived at the west wall, and the magic circle inside was activated, madly absorbing the magic energy in three intermediate magic crystals, and embedded them into the twenty-meter-high wall with petrified wood.

"Attack."

The war drums sounded, and the Black Rock Army in the front line charged forward.

Half a month ago, when they left this city, they were warmly entertained.

Today, they attacked this city with spears and swords.

Hundreds of Black Rock Army soldiers climbed the west wall and continued to fight fiercely with the defenders.

The ground was covered with broken limbs and blood.

Half an hour later, Hebrew stood in front of the formation, drew the knight's sword, and ordered his three thousand soldiers to attack.
