Chapter 98 The Siege of Andalus

Among the people attending the siege war meeting in the kingdom's camp, some were worried that there would be supernormal beings involved in the war. However, the person who asked this question here was just someone who was far away from the discussion circle of the great nobles.

"We are talking about human affairs now. When it comes to gods and dragon kings, the main premise is wrong." Borolop said impatiently.

"But if someone who doesn't know the basics takes action against the temple and offends..."

"Whether it's a temple or a temple, in the end they all rely on the tribute from us humans, right? At the worst, we can just use some more wealth from the occupied territories as tribute." Borolop's words were not taken lightly. The kingdom wants to fight the empire.

Internal investigation is also necessary.

"Hell Goblins" is the state religion of the Bahas Empire and has developed many believers, but it does not particularly protect the imperial government itself. What the goblins mainly do to humans and demi-humans is to get what they want from them.

Borolop's territory is rich in alchemical materials, although ordinary people cannot use them. After managing to obtain the empire's technology, his territory has become the largest thermal weapons manufacturing site in the kingdom.

The agricultural yield per mu in many places also has considerable advantages compared with neighboring countries.

Bolumula's family territory is home to quite large deposits of magical metals such as mithril and considerable precious metal minerals. The total amount is probably more valuable than the naturally rich mineral deposits in the mountains of the Dwarf Kingdom. At the same time, the family also plays games with other

The high-level officials of the country secretly communicate with each other in order to obtain benefits. Although it does not go deep into the core, it can be done by asking about the attitudes of some people in the empire.

Therefore, the great nobles of the kingdom are confident because their territory and national resources are richer than those of the empire. They will definitely not offend the Fairy Temple. On the contrary, they can obtain greater benefits from the Fairy Temple than the empire.

If Crounpis, Luna, and Star heard this, they would probably laugh it off, because that’s really what they thought. But the premise is that the kingdom can really do it. After the spies have analyzed the kingdom’s system and scientific research level,

According to the investigation, they do not think that the Kingdom can please them more than the Empire.

But regardless of whether they could please him at the moment, the Royal Army relied on its absolute superiority in strength and began a siege.

Through the monocular telescope of the commander on the wall of Andalu, he saw pieces of "wooden boxes" in front of the enemy's formation being dismantled, revealing cannons. He was surprised that the kingdom could prepare such a large number of cannons.

Although some towers on Andalu City Wall also have cannons installed, the number is probably only a fraction of the opponent's. There are more giant ballistae, but their power is somewhat insufficient compared to the cannons.

He was a little confused as to why the Royal Army would start attacking at this early hour of night. If they were to attack at night, it would be too early, and if they planned to use artillery fire from the beginning, it would not be of much significance for a surprise attack.

In short? Be the first to order the cannon!

Although the weapon technology is somewhat confused due to the crooked technology tree, when the combat distance is only a few hundred meters to a thousand meters? Can the cannon be completely capable of direct fire? It does not take a lot of time.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

In an instant, the entire city wall was enveloped by the white gas ejected by the spiral propelling wind, and the rotating cone-shaped warheads flew towards the artillery group transported by the Royal Army to the front of the formation.

The Royal Army pushed the cannon within the range of the Imperial Army? It’s not that the commander was crazy, the range of their artillery was only half as good as the opponent’s? And? They were already prepared for this situation.

The angels flew over the Royal Army's artillery group with a "hoorah".

These are the angels summoned by the temple army. They are just the first-level little angels, but they move forward directly. The holy attributes of angels are what the undead hate and avoid the most? And the cannonballs used by the empire contain the undead.

Guidance attribute? Facing the angel, I subconsciously wanted to avoid it. The artillery shells that could not significantly change the flight path immediately fell ahead of schedule, setting off clusters of purple-black explosions in the open space between the two armies.

The guidance of the undead is also mixed. Some missile guides regard angels as "enemies" and fly over like crazy? They hit the angels and detonated, but they were the lowest-ranking angels? They both died on the spot. But one shell killed one.

The exchange ratio for little angels is really bad.

The angels continued to advance, were any angels shot down? There were new angels constantly being summoned to charge, and the angels that were shot down? Did they fall to the ground before completely dissipating? There were bursts of explosions.

"That's it!" The empire's city defense commander discovered that all those angels had burning barrels on them!

No time to hesitate? He ordered the ballistae and archers to join the battle immediately. All those angels must be shot down. The number of magic casters was insufficient, only a few dozen, and they were already used in more critical places.

At the same time, all city defense artillery were ordered to switch to incendiary bombs and explosive grenades to bombard the Royal Army's artillery group. This was a city facing the Kaz Plains, so artillery shells targeting the weaknesses of the undead would inevitably be prepared. All living things were afraid of fire, and so were humans.

At this time, the Royal Army's artillery group was deployed. The loaders, who probably had no other strengths except for their strength, worked together to use levers to send more than a hundred kilograms of artillery shells into the barrel. With a "bang", the gunners

Then the cannonball was sent into the air.

Cannonballs and ballistae were being fired with all their strength, and the Andalu City Wall was instantly covered with a large number of explosions.

However, many of the city walls and the soldiers on them were safe for the time being. The current task of the magic casters used by the Imperial Army was to intercept and prevent the Royal Army's bombing as much as possible.

At the same time, the exchange of bombardments between the two sides was by no means a "fireworks salute" without casualties. The range of the ballistae was sufficient, and there were unguided self-explosion undead made of small animal carcasses tied to them, causing a small swarm of fire among the royal army.

The clever guys might have dodged the explosion, but the unlucky ones were stabbed into skewers by the giant javelins fired by the cannon, and then died without any body parts in the explosion; incendiary bombs and grenades that also had no guidance capabilities also

Falling into the Royal Army, some were intercepted by the defensive magic cast by the priests, and some successfully destroyed the Kingdom's cannons. Even if they failed to hit, because the Royal Army was denser, it was enough to make some lives fly up in the explosion.

The Imperial Army was also unable to defend against all the artillery shells and the "bomb" attacks carried by the angels. Some of the strong female walls were defeated, and the soldiers who were shooting arrows above were thrown out. Some of the artillery shells fell at the base of the city wall.

The foundation was shaken. The ring tower in the corner of the city had four cannons placed on it and was hit by so many cannonballs that it was crumbling and on the verge of collapse. Even if there were magic casters engaged in construction among the magic casters, they could not proceed.

Instant repair work.
