Chapter 1439 Both sides are waiting to break the city

Looking back, he saw the city lord Palau, wearing a paladin armor, and a dozen city lord guards, walking quickly to report,

"Your Excellency the Bishop, the vanguard of the barbarians has arrived at the wall of hell."

"Hey," Strauss sighed, and after giving the knights the order to arm, he looked at Palau who was respectful to him and asked, "What are you and the nobles going to do?"

"This..." Palau hesitated for a while, frowned and said, "The vanguard of the barbarians has about a thousand cavalry. Even if we go out of the city to fight, it will be difficult to annihilate these cavalry, not to mention the casualties."

Strauss nodded. Among the city-states of Olympus, cavalry has never been the main force, and there are only more than 2,000 soldiers in the city, plus the 800 hell wall guards defending one kilometer away from the city, there are only less than 3,000.

This number of people went out of the city to fight against a thousand barbarian cavalry. Don't eat the other side, but be severely injured, and then break into the city.

"So, the nobles plan to close the Hell Wall and then drag down the barbarians' logistics, or solve the problem through negotiation?"

Palau nodded. The enemy and us have a huge disparity in strength, so defense is the right choice. The only thing that makes him dissatisfied is that

the nobles have not yet made up their minds to mobilize the young and strong in the whole city to help the Chengcheng Guards to guard the Hell Wall.

However, to be honest, the Hell Wall is a super defensive fortification based on a mountain of more than ten meters high, expanded to a height of more than twenty meters, and the wall is tens of meters thick.

In this era, let alone humans, even the gods may not be able to break this wall head-on.

As long as the three-meter-thick giant stone gate is lowered from the mechanism, no one can break through this stone gate unless it is chiseled a little bit.

And on the Hell City side, as long as you stand on the more than 20-meter-high wall and shoot arrows from a high position, the 800 gate guards can really cause heavy casualties to the barbarians, and the world is helpless.

As for building siege tools, ladders over 20 meters high, which is the same as the wood of an eight-story building, are not so easy to find.

Hell City, which had thought of this early, cut down all the trees within a few kilometers outside the city wall. There were no trees over 10 meters high within a range of nearly 30 kilometers.

Even if the materials were found from farther away, it would take more than a month to process, build, and transport them here.

Moreover, climbing up the eight-story ladder almost exhausted the physical strength. The number of giant ladders was small, which was no different from sending oneself to death.

As for the ladder truck, it was a ladder truck over 20 meters high. The Greeks themselves could not build this thing, let alone the barbarians.

Even the ancient Chinese had never built such a large ladder truck.

The safest way is to fill a huge ramp with a lot of soil, but this is not something that can be done in one or two months.

Strauss and 101 other people rode on the divine warhorses sent by William, and trotted for a few minutes to the wall of Hell.

Let most of the knights stay, and Palau, the city lord, led the way. Strauss led ten paladins and passed through the dozens of meters long city gate and came to the outside of the city wall.

There were thousands of barbarian cavalrymen without even horse gear, waving their spears and swords, eager to rush up and kill Strauss and his twelve men.

But before the barbarians sprinted, someone shouted "stop".

Semier, who was riding a horse beside the barbarian king Hain, said to Hain in the angry eyes of the surrounding barbarians, "Your Majesty, there are three gates in Hell City.

The outermost and third gates are bronze-clad wood, which are easy to open. The second gate is a mechanical gate made of huge stones. Once it is lowered, even if the people of Hell City want to open it again, it will take a lot of manpower and time.

Let's talk to the people of Hell City first and try to persuade them to surrender."

Hein smiled and nodded, "Then you are responsible for the negotiation. If the negotiation is successful, you will be treated as a centurion."

"This..."

Semir cursed in his heart. Just by looking at his appearance, anyone can tell that he is a serious Greek.

What if the other party gets angry after hearing the words of persuasion to surrender, or cuts him directly without thinking, who can he complain to?

If he doesn't go, the barbarians around him won't mind cutting him.

Semir regretted that he didn't follow Theseus to lead a hundred cavalrymen to carry out the task of driving ordinary Greeks into the city of hell.

After the barbarian king showed a meaningful smile, Semir could only bite the bullet and drive his horse to Strauss.

Five or six meters away, he pulled the reins and shouted, "I am a messenger from the Kingdom of Crete. The great King Hein ordered you to surrender, otherwise everyone in the city will be reduced to slaves on the day of the city's destruction."

For the sake of his own life, Semir did not dare to say that the barbarians would massacre the city. Unfortunately, Strauss's mission to Hell City was not only to help the Greeks defend the city, but also to ensure that the barbarians would attack the city.

As for the release of Titan, William did not tell Strauss.

After Semir's threat, although Strauss wanted to kill Semir, he was obviously a traitor to the Greeks.

While angering the barbarians, he also cleared out the guides who were familiar with Hell City.

But unless he was the decision-maker of Hell City, killing the messenger as soon as he met was too conspicuous, and it would inevitably make people suspect that the Paladin was actively provoking a war.

"Traitors are not qualified to negotiate with me."

With a contemptuous expression, Strauss turned his horse's head without any hesitation and led the way into the city gate more than ten meters away.

The barbarian king didn't care at all, and he was anxious to kneel on the ground, who was anxiously kneeling on the ground.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

The Bow of Iproz is in hand, whether it is the Bronze City Gate or the Boulder Organ, it is a furnishings for him.

It will let Cemeir negotiate, nothing more than wanting to delay time. Before the 50,000 troops behind arrived, avoid fighting with the Greeks.

Relying on a thousand cavalry and Bow of Epurus, he can indeed attack the wall of hell, but he is a king, and it is impossible to make the cavalry dismiss stupidly and consume the infantry as the Greek shield square array.

After all, the cost of cultivating a elite cavalry is enough for an ordinary soldier of a team.

Strauss rode into the wall of hell, and saw more than a dozen nobles rushed from the distant city.

As soon as I met, the nobles asked anxiously, "What do the barbarians say?"

Palau glanced at Strauss, and when he saw the old guy didn't mean to speak, he said, "Let us surrender, otherwise everyone will become a slave after breaking the city."

As soon as the nobles heard, they asked in surprise, "How can this, how can there be no conditions, it will make people surrender.

And we are all nobles. Why don't we even give us the opportunity to use money? "

"Not a barbarian does not understand the rules, but they never thought of accepting our surrender at all." Strauss took the opportunity to say,

"Have you ever thought about why the barbarians spent more than ten days and bypass the closest city -state without fighting, and have to come to Hell City."

There are not no smart people among the nobles present. Someone frowned in a while. "Is this why you suddenly appear in hell city?"

This immediately stared nervously at Strauss.

Strauss nodded with a face, saying, "In the legend, after the Titan War, which had been twelve years, Zeus and other gods, coupled with the Titans who were dissatisfied with the second generation of the gods, finally defeated the first victory over the first victory over the first generation. The second -generation king Kronos,

However, there is no extra power to eliminate all the hostile Titan, and can only watch many Titans from the battlefield at the level of the main god.

And this is not the most troublesome.

Now that the two sides who cannot cut grass and remove the roots, and the two sides of the Titan battle are all relative relationships, then the injured and captured Titan can only be detained and cannot kill directly.

It is not that the dissatisfaction of the Titan in the Second Titan and the Titan who helped Zeus fight, many hostile Titan can only seal and detain. "

Hearing this, the nobles exclaimed, "So, Titan is locked in hell city?"
