"We actually lost 100,000 escorts. This time our coalition forces to the east are really..."
After the battle, a group of coalition high priests immediately counted their losses.
After counting, the eastern coalition forces lost nearly 100,000 people from the time they were besieged until the end of the battle today.
If you add in the 150,000 to 60,000 coalition troops who went to encircle and suppress the Sun God Kingdom's harassing team before, and were ambushed.
So this time the coalition forces had suffered more than half casualties, which can be said to have been a heavy loss.
The high priests of the eastern coalition also looked gloomy.
However, at the end, everyone couldn't help but look at Nalant.
"However, even so, I still have to thank Baron Nalant this time."
"If it weren't for Baron Nalant, then we would not only have suffered losses today, but the entire coalition would have been annihilated by the Kingdom of the Sun!"
"That's right, the support from Baron Nalant and the southern coalition forces is so timely!"
Several high priests from the Kingdom of God to the east changed the topic and began to express their gratitude towards Nalant.
At this time, Dagmar also took over the words out of curiosity.
"Baron Nalant, haven't you always been in the Holy Continent? Why did you suddenly come to the Io Continent and take soldiers to participate in the battle!"
"In addition, the coalition forces in the south are not close to us, and they are blocked by the mountains of the Kingdom of the Sun. How can you come so quickly to support us!"
The question of High Priest Dagmar also brought out the thoughts of other high priests of the Kingdom of God to the east.
They were also watching Nalant, wanting to hear how Nalant joined the war.
Moreover, the coalition forces from the south arrived too fast.
From the time they sent out a courier to ask for help until they received it today, it has only been more than ten days at most.
The time it takes to go back and forth like this is not enough just to go around the mountains.
"High Priest Dagmar, last month I heard from you that the Kingdom of the Sun had recruited a large number of foreign soldiers to join the war."
"I know that the allied forces of the Kingdom of God will definitely be under a lot of pressure when facing these alien races."
"So, I remembered the foreign legion that I had just recruited and trained recently, and simply came to Io continent to support the coalition forces."
"After all, if the Holy Continent wants to be stable, then the Kingdom of the Sun God must not exist on the Io Continent."
"As for why the support from the southern coalition forces was so fast, it was also thanks to the efforts of the high priests of the southern coalition forces."
"After receiving the report from the courier and learning about the crisis in the east, a group of southern coalition forces traveled day and night in order to reach Pilka City as soon as possible."
"Of course, apart from that, it's because we have just broken through the gap in the mountains of the Kingdom of the Sun."
"So, there is no need to go around the mountains. Instead, we can come directly by relying on the original roads of the Kingdom of the Sun."
Narante smiled and explained.
"I see, Baron Nalant, you are really thoughtful."
"In addition, the offensive of the coalition forces in the south was so fast that it even broke through the gap in the mountains of the Kingdom of the Sun."
"I'm not afraid of jokes. We originally thought that the eastern coalition forces might be stuck by the mountains of the Kingdom of the Sun."
"At that time, we have to wait until we capture the city of Pilka, then rush to the back of the mountains, and cooperate with the southern coalition forces to finally repel the Sun God Kingdom coalition forces on duty."
"Who would have thought that our eastern coalition forces were plotted against us and were almost wiped out."
The high priests of the Eastern Allied Forces were speechless. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but they also lost a lot of face.
"High Priest Dagmar, actually...our southern coalition forces were similar to yours."
At this moment, a group of high priests from the southern coalition forces blushed and spoke to Dagma and the others.
"Huh?" Dagmar and other high priests from the eastern coalition were a little confused when they heard this.
Their attack speed is so fast, how can it be similar to them?
"Actually, before we attacked Carlos City, we were ambushed by the Sun Kingdom Guards in an open area."
"At that time, the Kingdom of the Sun God ambushed a large number of beast tribes and black crow wing tribes."
"When our coalition attacked, these two alien armies suddenly appeared, catching us off guard and making it impossible for us to even completely retreat."
"Fortunately, Baron Nalant appeared at this time. His appearance directly caused the Black Crow Wings of the Sun God Kingdom to lose their advantage."
"Then the Orcs were also severely damaged by Baron Nalant's alien army."
"In this way, the situation in which we might have lost at least tens of thousands of troops has been changed. Instead, we have killed the Sun Kingdom Guards and abandoned their armor."
"As for the subsequent reason why we were able to capture Carlos City and the mountain gap so quickly, we actually relied on Baron Nalant!"
"So, whether it's our offensive in the south or today's support, all the credit still belongs to Baron Nalant!"
"We dare not claim this credit."
"Yes, the credit belongs to Baron Nalant, we dare not take this honor!"
The high priest of the southern coalition finally finished his explanation.
However, a group of high priests from the Eastern Allied Forces were extremely surprised.
Unexpectedly, the southern coalition forces also encountered a crisis, which was also solved by Baron Nalant.
"Haha, high priests, you don't have to look at me like this, I'm a thin-skinned person!"
"Also, what the high priest said is too absolute. I, Nalant, do have the merit of supporting."
"But whether it's the southern coalition or the eastern coalition, all the divine kingdoms have shown absolute bravery."
Nalant was very humble and waved his hands towards the high priests of the Kingdom of God.
And with his humble words and attitude, it would be better not to say anything.
As soon as he finished speaking, the high priests of the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God were inexplicably moved.
Especially the high priest of the coalition forces in the south.
Narant had shared the credit with them before.
In their opinion, this Narant is not only brave in battle, but also strong enough.
The most important thing is his human quality, which can really be called a model of nobility and a model of knights.
In the past, whether they were nobles or priests of the Kingdom of God, whoever had a little bit of glory and merit would get it at all costs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If anyone dares to share more profits, they will probably fight to the death.
How can one be as humble and neither arrogant nor impetuous as Baron Narante.
"Baron Nalant, you are too humble. Without you, to be honest, our southern and eastern coalition forces would have suffered huge losses!"
"Yes, Baron Nalant, please stop being modest!"
"Everyone, no matter what, we must hold a good banquet today to thank Baron Nalant."
Next, comes the favorite part of the nobles and those in power.
That's the celebration part.
Although there were no supplies in Pilka City, Nalant and others came here lightly packed.
However, as the eastern armies of the Kingdom of the Sun were annihilated, the large amount of supplies they left behind naturally became the property of the coalition forces.
Therefore, the eastern coalition forces can directly obtain a large amount of supplies without having to worry about material shortages.
Of course, this celebration banquet is not just for a group of high priests.
After such heavy losses, the convoys below also need to be comforted.
Therefore, the high priests also relaxed the supplies as much as possible to allow the guards of the Kingdom of God to eat and drink.
After three consecutive days of rest, the Divine Guards in the east finally regained their morale.
After this brief three-day rest, the Kingdom of God’s Guards no longer delayed and set off again toward the Holy Capital of the Kingdom of Sun God.
Even with such heavy losses, the coalition forces did not extinguish their determination to take over the Kingdom of the Sun God in one fell swoop.
Because this battle is no longer just the decision of a group of high priests.
But it is the will of those who believe in gods.
When the Sun God planned to expose the gods, these gods felt a deep sense of crisis.
Therefore, this is destined to be a life-and-death battle.
After reorganization, the strength of the eastern and southern coalition forces was nearly 600,000.
Although one-third has been lost, if everything goes well for the western coalition, they will still be able to gather a million troops.
In addition, a group of high priests have actively sent people back to recruit ordinary guards, and more troops will come by then.
Although the combat effectiveness and equipment of ordinary escorts cannot be compared with elite escorts.
But in a meat grinding ground like siege warfare, numerical superiority is always the last word.
Nalant also continued northward with the coalition forces, preparing to return after the battle to annihilate the Kingdom of the Sun God was over.
In this battle at Kapil City, Narant did not gain much spoils in terms of supplies.
But in terms of population, they gained another 50,000 prisoners of the Sun Kingdom coalition forces.
In order to express their gratitude to Nalant, a group of gods gave most of their captives to him.
And these prisoners were still escorted back to the territory by a group of coalition forces.
…
Time flies to half a month later.
In this half month, the coalition forces captured three more cities in the Kingdom of the Sun.
However, these three cities are all small and medium-sized towns and have no strategic significance.
Therefore, the battle was not intense, and Narant did not participate in it.
Only the Eagle Beast team and the long-range attack team were dispatched to assist.
The direction of the coalition forces at this time is not to go to the Holy City immediately, because they have not yet joined up with the coalition forces of the Kingdom of God to the west.
In this way, the movement of the coalition forces is heading towards the west, preparing to unite with the army of the Kingdom of God in the west.
Originally, the high priests thought that they would have to go further into the west, which would take at least ten days.
But just a day or two later, they discovered that the coalition forces from the west were heading in their direction.
When the armies of both sides merged.
Only then did everyone realize that the original coalition forces to the west were indeed unable to move forward due to the resistance of the Kingdom of the Sun.
They can only occupy the originally captured city and wait for the breakthrough of the coalition forces from the south and east.
Just over a week ago, the Sun God Kingdom's army stationed in the west suddenly began to retreat.
In this way, the coalition forces in the west speculated that the friendly forces in the east or south must have achieved the victory.
So they started marching cautiously, heading directly towards the meeting point negotiated with the other two coalition forces.
There were no dangers along the way and no resistance was encountered.
"It seems that Silas knows that he cannot continue to disperse the resistance, so he is preparing to gather all his strength to fight us to the death!"
The high priests were not surprised by Sun God Kingdom’s choice.
Now that the east and south have been opened up by them, if the Sun God Kingdom guard in the west does not retreat, they may only be surrounded and annihilated.
Therefore, the Kingdom of the Sun God is now searching for defense lines and accumulating all its strength.
"Everyone, if that's the case, let's head towards the holy city of the Kingdom of the Sun God!"
"good!"
The faces of the high priests showed excitement, and without any further hesitation, the army then headed straight for the Holy City of the Kingdom of the Sun God.
After joining the coalition forces in the west, the number of the coalition forces of the Kingdom of God could reach one million.
Because the fighting in the west was not as intense as in the east and south, the losses on both sides were minimal.
This is also because the west side is vast and sparsely populated, but the checkpoints and fortresses are the strongest.
The Western Allied Forces did not plan to capture the western fortress entirely on their own from the beginning.
Therefore, the strength to go long is preserved instead.
…
Next, a group of coalition forces marched north for another seven or eight days.
Seven or eight days later, the coalition forces finally arrived outside the Holy City of the Kingdom of the Sun.
"Is this the holy city of the Sun God Kingdom?"
Nalant has been to the Io continent very few times, so he doesn’t actually know much about the humanistic features of the Io continent.
I have only been to the land of the goddess of genius.
The cities in the Kingdom of Talented Goddess, whether they are ordinary cities or holy cities, are actually similar to the Holy Continent.
But the holy city of the Kingdom of the Sun God is extremely different from the Kingdom of the Goddess of Talent.
Because the size of the holy city of the Kingdom of the Sun God is actually several times larger than that of the Kingdom of the Goddess of Talent.
This holy city of the Kingdom of the Sun God is also built on a mountain, a towering mountain range that stretches for dozens of miles.
The mountain range presents a semi-arc shape, forming a natural towering barrier.
In front of the mountain range, there is a towering city wall that cannot be seen from the top.
The city wall is more than fifty meters high, and the moat outside the gate is even more than a hundred meters wide.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just standing five or six miles away and looking at the city, Nalant could imagine what a brutal battle it would take to capture it.
However, I saw the eyes of the high priests of the coalition forces.
Narant also knew that no matter how brutal the battle was, this battle must go on.
The coalition forces did not launch an attack rashly.
Instead, they set up camp on a high ground outside the holy city.
Moreover, the camp this time was built with great care, and it was obvious that the allied forces of the Kingdom of God had also planned a protracted siege.
For a week, one million troops spent their time building camps.
Although the walls of the camp are still made of logs, they are as thick as six or seven meters.
First of all, the outermost wall of the wooden wall is built with two large wooden piles one meter in diameter.
Then, two meters of soil were laid inside the wooden pile.
After the soil is laid, there are two large wooden piles in the innermost layer.
Unless you are a very powerful person, or a knight with the title of knight, you cannot enter such a wooden wall by simply destroying it.
Coupled with the width above the wooden wall that can accommodate two carriages running side by side, it is actually no different from an ordinary city.
The only weakness to mention is that the height of the wooden wall cannot be compared with that of the big city.
Because the height of the wooden wall itself is only about ten meters.
Of course, in order to improve the defense as much as possible, a group of coalition forces worked tirelessly to hollow out the soil around the highlands.
In this way, the breakthrough that originally had a height of more than ten or twenty meters naturally formed a vertical drop of eight or nine meters.
In this way, add the height of the wooden wall.
The total height of the camp wall is 189 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a medium-sized city.
