Chapter 1,337 The second line of defense is broken
After hearing the Ice God's explanation, the God of Waves, God of Wind and God of War also looked at the puddle in front of the second line of defense.
"It's really possible. There are puddles there, so that boy Nalant still attacks with lightning."
"But there are no puddles in the trenches on both sides. With the mine-drawing wooden pole, Narant is no longer needed."
"Otherwise the lethality of lightning is so great, how could that Nalant not use lightning!"
After seeing the puddle, several gods immediately felt that what the Ice God said was very reasonable.
After this layer of window paper was punctured, several gods naturally came up with ways to deal with it.
"Then let's drain the water in the puddle immediately. Then we will know whether the problem is caused by rainwater!"
"Yes, we will send someone to do it immediately!"
Immediately, several gods quickly issued orders to their respective subordinates.
Following the order, the Allied Forces of Gods sent a total of five thousand people, and then went to the edge of the second puddle.
Because Nalant had only dug a shallow pit before, it was very easy to drain the rainwater in front.
Five thousand soldiers from the Allied Forces of Gods were seen holding iron tools and began to dig out drainage ditches one after another.
As the drainage ditch was opened, the water level in the puddle soon began to drop.
In less than fifteen minutes, the puddle that was originally submerged up to the knees had been completely drained.
Only the bodies of the fallen Divine Alliance soldiers were left, plus the muddy ground.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the five thousand divine coalition troops are still working.
They excavated the surrounding dry soil and loaded it into trucks, then dumped the truckloads into muddy puddles.
As the dry soil covered it, the puddles outside the wall were soon filled up.
Although this also took the coalition of gods more than an hour, several gods felt that it was very worthwhile.
"Everyone, now that the puddle has been filled, we should try to guess whether it is true or false!"
"OK!"
Although I feel that my speculation is pretty close, it is the first time I have encountered such a situation, and such confirmation is definitely needed.
In this way, several legions of gods each sent 2,500 soldiers.
It's not that they don't want to send fewer soldiers to attack, but they are worried that if they guess wrong, they will lose tens of thousands of soldiers in vain.
In this way, these tens of thousands of people can just put pressure on the wall, but they can prevent too much damage.
The actions of the Allied Forces of Gods naturally fell into Nalant's eyes.
In fact, Nalant wanted to laugh when the Divine Army actually dug dry soil to fill puddles in the past.
Because as long as the water is drained, the mud will not allow the current to conduct too far.
I didn't expect these gods to be so cautious, which shows that these gods are also afraid.
And now, they have only sent a team of ten thousand people to test, which shows that they still dare not be 100% sure of their judgment.
In this case, it was naturally impossible for Nalant to verify it for them.
"Even if you have already guessed it, if I don't give you a chance to verify it, I will disgust you to death!"
As a result, Nalant immediately sent someone to convey orders to the two thousand gifted girls behind the wall.
After receiving Nalant's order, the girls stopped releasing lightning and began to summon strong winds.
And when the tens of thousands of soldiers from the coalition of gods arrived under the wall, they were naturally destroyed by the long archers on the wall under the raging wind.
"Damn it, this guy doesn't use lightning anymore, he uses blowing air instead!"
"Yeah, this damn boy, how can he not use lightning?"
Several gods not far away noticed that the dark clouds above the wall dispersed and turned into strong winds.
But this scene made several gods a little unhappy.
They did so much and sent tens of thousands of soldiers there just to confirm 100% the speculations of themselves and others.
And Narant didn't give them a chance to verify. It's like I have all the paper ready, and you just show me this?
The feeling of being neither up nor down, even the gods couldn't help but curse.
"Sir, you are so bad. Those gods must be very angry right now!"
At this time, little Shirley covered her mouth with her little hand and kept laughing.
The main reason is that my master's idea is really too bad. Even she, Shirley, can sympathize with the mood of several gods at this time.
"Shirley, those guys didn't quit the Flame Continent honestly, but they still want to cause trouble for us. It's just that they are disgusted, which is not a big deal!"
Narant said with a smile.
"Sir, now that the lightning attack has been broken by those gods, I am afraid that the second line of defense will also be broken. Do you have any other preparations?"
Although there was a strong wind, the attack speed of the divine army was slow, and it also required huge casualties.
But they were surrounded on the mountain at this time, and the enemy had a numerical advantage. It was only a matter of time before the second line of defense was breached.
"There is a way, but it is only a temporary delay. We still have no clue if we really want to solve this crisis!"
I don’t hide anything about little Lolita Narante.
"Sir, you are the wisest one. Shirley thinks you can lead us to defeat the enemy. You have to work hard!"
Shirley didn't look worried at all when she heard this. Instead, she cheered up Nalant.
"Haha, Shirley has grown up and knows how to praise others!" Nalant laughed heartily.
Immediately, Vivian was called, and then began to instruct the third line of defense.
Although the second line of defense can still last for some time, it must be prepared for a rainy day.
Vivian received the order and went to arrange it.
The battle below is still fierce.
Although several gods could not verify their speculations with their own eyes because of the lack of lightning, the answer is actually certain.
In this way, several gods did not delay anymore and sent another hundred thousand legion soldiers towards the walled area.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! With the addition of one hundred thousand legionnaires, the defensive pressure in the walled area has been challenged as never before.
After all, there were trenches and wooden piles arranged on both sides of the surrounding area. If the enemy wanted to attack, he would first have to use a large number of soldier lives to slowly fill in the trenches and dig out the wooden piles.
The wallable area has flat terrain and only needs to be carried out according to the normal siege spread.
Although the Flame Legion soldiers on the wall put up a tenacious resistance, it was ultimately due to the gap in strength.
Finally, it became shaky on the second day.
"Lord Narant, we are useless, the second line of defense is about to be breached!" Soon, the commander of the Acropolis ran to the top of the mountain to report to Narant.
"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. It is already very good to be able to stop the enemy for one night, and you have at least consumed more than 100,000 of the enemy's active forces."
Nalant patted the shoulder of the commander of the West Asian city to comfort him.
In fact, the reason why the first and second lines of defense were so difficult to defend after losing lightning was not entirely due to the fact that the Flame Legion was too weak.
The main reason is that the bottom of the hill is too gentle, making defense naturally more difficult.
And because it is a temporary wall position that is not even comparable to that of a small town, it is not easy to withstand it for one night.
However, once you reach the third line of defense, the slope of the hill will begin to increase.
And because of more time for repairs, the trenches at the rear became deeper and the walls became stronger and higher.
When the commander of West Asia City heard this, his eyes showed gratitude and guilt.
Narant said: "Go ahead and listen to the instructions later. If you hear the retreat horn, don't be reluctant to fight. Let the soldiers retreat immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
The commander of West Asia City left after hearing this.
Not long after the leader of West Asia City left, Vivian came to Nalant to report.
"Sir, according to your instructions, the soil slope outside the third line of defense has been dug steeper, and the Lightning Legion has also rained down it, completely eroding it, and now the soil above has become extremely muddy."
It turns out that the arrangement of this third line of defense is to make it steeper and use rainwater to make it equally full of water.
"Sir, are you planning to use a silky steep slope to make it more difficult for the enemy to climb, making it difficult to attack?"
Shirley was beside Nalant at this time. After hearing Vivian's report, she felt that she understood Nalant's preparations for the third line of defense.
"Although Shirley, your guess is pretty much the same, but there is still a missing next step. If there is no next step, even if the land becomes muddy, the enemy will still be able to dig out steps."
"Have you seen the second line of defense below? The enemy can directly fill up the muddy puddles."
Nalant smiled and shook his head.
"Sir, what steps are missing? Is there a way to prevent the enemy from digging the soil?" After hearing this, Shirley felt that it made sense, but she didn't know how to prevent the enemy from digging up the steep slope.
"It's very simple, it's just ice. As long as the ground freezes, even if the enemy wants to dig it out, the difficulty will increase dozens of times!"
Narant gave the answer directly.
"Ice cubes?" Shirley thought for a moment after hearing this, and remembered that the city she attacked before could freeze even the water in the city.
"In this way, if the soil slope is frozen so thickly, the enemy will really not be able to dig any more.
"Sir, you are so wise!" Shirley offered the horse again.
"Oh, of course, otherwise how could I become your adult?"
Nalant nodded with great satisfaction.
And these lucky girls are the only ones he doesn't pretend to be low-key.
Because he really regards these girls as his relatives, so he doesn't need to wear a mask in front of them.
"Vivian, let's take the next step now, let the girls start to cool down, and at the same time prepare the army to prevent the cold."
"Remember, once you see ice forming on the surface of the slope, continue pouring water down from above. I want to make the ice that breaks through the ice as thick as possible. Then I will see if the enemy dares to dig!"
Nalant ordered towards Vivian.
"Yes, sir!"
"By the way, remember to temporarily leave a road for the retreating soldiers. Once all the soldiers on the second line of defense have retreated, the road will be completely frozen."
"Yes, sir!"
After saying that, seeing that Nalant did not give any instructions, Vivian immediately went to take care of it.
And as Vivian conveyed the order, the weather on the hillside immediately changed.
The weather that could only be considered cool at first suddenly started to cool down.
Heavy snow began to fall from the sky, and the howling cold wind made people's faces hurt.
And on the second line of defense below, everyone, whether enemy or friend, felt the chill instantly, and their faces turned red as they fought.
This is the expression caused by the cold wind blowing on one side and the intense exercise on the other side.
"Hey, look, it's starting to snow over there!"
"Yes, the gifted girl is really magical. It's autumn, but it can snow heavily."
"Haha, that Nalant from Io continent finally thought of a new way. I'm really looking forward to how he defends the third line of defense."
"I'm also looking forward to it. We shouldn't have to wait too long. The second line of defense wall is already in danger, and the surrounding trenches have finally been filled in. The Divine Legion will definitely launch a general attack later."
Not far away, the inner domain envoys who had been squatting all night saw the new changes on the battlefield, and all of them suddenly became energetic.
Originally, after the lightning disappeared yesterday, they felt bored. After all, ordinary offensive and defensive battles were not unusual for them.
But now it started to snow and blow cold wind on the hills over there, which made the angels think that there must be something new in Nalant.
Everyone is very much looking forward to what sparks will come out of the battle between the two sides.
This is considered a big deal just to watch the excitement.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the battlefield direction below is just as one of the divine envoys said, the offensive and defensive battle of the second line of defense will soon come to an end.
At this time, the God of Waves and others also saw snowflakes starting to fall around them.
"That damn boy must be preparing some new tricks. Everyone, the trench over there is almost cleared. It's time to start launching the attack!"
"Yes, this second line of defense must be taken down as soon as possible, otherwise when the weather continues to get colder, we will have to withdraw the soldiers above who are not wearing winter clothes. In that case, the enemy will have another chance to breathe!"
"Then let's get started and take down this second line of defense in one go!"
Woohoo!
As several gods unified their opinions, the sound of horns soon sounded at the foot of the mountain.
In the camp of the Allied Forces of Gods, 600,000 troops were once again dispatched.
"kill!"
With the cry of killing, 600,000 additional coalition soldiers began to attack both sides of the second line of defense, which had been basically disintegrated.
"Order, the second line of defense retreats!"
When Narant saw the situation, he didn't delay any longer.
There is no need to linger on this second line of defense, because it is destined to be undefendable. If it is delayed any longer, it will only increase losses without any other benefits.
Woohoo!
In this way, the retreat horn also sounded on the mountain.
"Retreat, everyone in the Flame Legion retreats to the third line of defense!"
Following the shouts of the Acropolis commander, the Flame Legion also began an orderly retreat.
About half an hour later, all the Flame Legion soldiers safely retreated through the reserved passage to the third line of defense.
When Vivian saw this, she immediately asked the people who had been prepared to pour rainwater on these few passages.
As buckets of rain poured down, the only weak link outside the third line of defense was erased.
