Chapter 709: Attack the City (Part 1)

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

"Brother, we..."

"Shh——"

The black-haired boy put his finger in front and whispered: "Don't say it yet, let's talk about it after we go back."

"Yeah."

The silver-haired girl nodded, hugged 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 professions, but their individual combat power is very strong. They are not very useful for defending the city, but they are more than enough for assault troops.

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

If the war is over, if these people survive and come to him to ask for rewards, then they will all be killed in the name of treason.

As long as there is no one who knows, no one will know his verbal check, and he will not ruin his reputation.

"Gold coins will be distributed according to strength."

The two six-seal knights standing behind Irus saw this and ordered their subordinates to lift the treasure chest and open 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 rapidly.

"Distribute."

With an order, 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. Wait until the enemy is defeated, and there will be a big reward."

"Thank you, Marquis."

"Marquis, don't worry, it's just a foreign god army. Under your leadership, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory."

"My Lord..."

Many adventurers began to praise Marquis Irus loudly. Anyway, talking doesn't cost money, so what's the harm in saying a few more words.

Looking at the group of hyenas below, Irus nodded with satisfaction, and 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 they stayed there temporarily.

As for the other adventurers, they all looked for suitable accommodation in the military camp in small teams or groups.

…

On March 23, 9755 of the Glorious Calendar, 60,000 troops lined up at the east gate of Soller City.

The armor flashed with cold light, and the flags fluttered.

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

In the central army, 150 medium-sized magic cannons were ready, waiting for the order to fire.

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

This attack on the North Sea Region was led by Kyle, and this siege campaign was naturally commanded by him.

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

The voice echoed in the ears of the magic cannon officers, and hundreds of soldiers began to load intermediate magic crystals.

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

In less than half an hour, 1,800 intermediate magic crystals were consumed, and the magic shield over Soller City was still strong, without any signs of breaking.

Seeing this, Kyle ordered the first battalion of the Badak Army to start the siege.

Under the leadership of the officers, thousands of soldiers pushed the siege equipment and advanced towards Soller City.

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

With feather arrows and musket projectiles flying all over the sky, sixteen iron bridges and eight siege vehicles slowly advanced.

A distance of three thousand meters, at the cost of more than four hundred soldiers' lives, they reached the outside of the moat.

Passing through the divine shield, a pressure appeared out of thin air, pressing on the soldiers of the Badak Army.

"Build a bridge."

Under the order of the officer, more than a thousand soldiers tied the ropes of the iron bridge to their bodies, took 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 feather arrows in the sky, monsters under the water, and heavy pressure on their backs. Under the triple crisis, they remembered the promise made by the commander and their families detained in the logistics camp, gritted their teeth, and walked to the other side with difficulty.

Under the divine shield, it became more and more difficult for the magic energy in the body to circulate.

In the distance, Kyle looked at the bodies floating on the moat, without any fluctuation in his eyes, and waved his hand to let more than 3,000 people from the second battalion of the Badak Army to supplement.

With his strength, he could not destroy the magic shield of Soller City now. He could only rely on the army to forcibly build an iron bridge and push the siege vehicle under the city wall to form a gentle slope to provide an attack path for the follow-up army.

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 were torn apart and became food in the mouths of monsters, and the blood dyed the river red.

On the wall of Soller City, the deputy general of the Tenth Legion, Gleif, watched the traitors desperately crossing the river, his eyes full of anger and strong sadness.

Under the current system of the kingdom, those who do not become seven-seal warriors or above can only succumb to the power of the nobles. They will either become adventurers like hyenas and live a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, or become minions and running dogs of the nobles and be driven by them.

"General Gleif, General Gleif..."

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

"It's okay, after defeating the armies of these alien gods, it will be time to settle accounts."

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

Under the auspices of Archbishop Badaletaf of the Church of the God of Beasts, the divine shield of Soller City can be said to be indestructible.

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

At the moment when the iron bridge was carried to the other side, more than a dozen officers took out the intermediate magic crystals stored close to their bodies and put them into 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 crystals.

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

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

Withstanding twice the pressure, hundreds of soldiers pushed the siege vehicles and walked to the plane.

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

In the shocked eyes of the enemy, eight siege vehicles were pushed across the moat and approached the walls of Soller City.
