The first thousand two hundred and sixty-six chapters seize power
On the wall of the earth city, Wolfe looked gloomily at the nomadic army attacking the city.
The Golden Wolf Flag and the Sand Scorpion Flag are flying high. This is the army of the Golden Wolf Khanate and the Sand Scorpion Khanate joining forces to attack. The Golden Wolf Khanate is the most powerful country under the rule of the Grassland Temple, while the Sand Scorpion Khanate is
One of the great empires under the jurisdiction of the Desert Temple, both countries have hundreds of millions of people, and all nomadic people are soldiers, and any adult man is a qualified warrior.
Precisely because they are nomads, the armies of these countries live scattered among the people and are only recruited into the army when a war breaks out. Therefore, they are essentially a group of fierce thugs and do not have the so-called military discipline of a regular army.
.
When they attacked the city, they did not use the regular siege methods of various countries in the Western continent, and they did not even prepare a trebuchet. Tens of thousands of nomadic cavalry lazily rode forward slowly on their mounts. In front of them, there were countless
An old and frail man with a numb expression and a look of despair in his eyes.
These people were all plundered people from various countries in the Eastern Great Plains. They carried heavy straw bags on their shoulders, filled with heavy soil, and marched forward with expressionless faces. They walked to the city wall and threw the straw bags away.
Entering the ditch outside the city, and then swaying back, there were more straw bags waiting for them over there.
Wolfe was dumbfounded, the Caesar officers and soldiers of the Dragon Horn Legion were dumbfounded, the special envoys from the Peak Kingdom and other three kingdoms on the city were dumbfounded, and the clergy of the church looked at each other in silence.
This kind of thing has never happened in the history of the Western Continent to drive the people of the enemy country to serve as the vanguard of the siege. After all, the Western Continent is a place that pays attention to the honor of knights. The wars in various countries are also wars between kings and lords. The people of Li are extremely
Less likely to be involved in the flames of war.
What's more, there is still a church suppressing each country, and the church will not allow countries to use such cruel siege methods.
Regardless of whether they are aliens or nomads, they have never invaded the hinterland of the mainland before. They have never had the opportunity to rob civilians in large numbers, so they have never seen such inhumane siege behavior.
.
The city walls were lined with archers, and there were groups of powerful fire and thunder mages, but no archers fired arrows, and no magician dared to release the magic they had been preparing for a long time. They all turned to look.
He turned to Wolfe and waited blankly for his military order.
Wolfe looked blankly at the people below the city who were as busy as ants moving. They staggered back and forth carrying straw bags, throwing bags of soil into the trench outside the city. Soon a trench with a width of ten meters was opened.
It was filled with soil, and a thoroughfare with a width of more than 300 meters was created. Then these people were driven by nomadic cavalry and continued to advance towards the second trench.
A total of three trenches were created with magic outside the Tucheng. If the nomadic cavalry dared to attack the city, they would not be able to get close to the city wall without losing hundreds of thousands of lives under the attack of the archers, magicians and city defense weapons on top of the city.
of.
However, with tens of thousands of people rushing back and forth, the three trenches were filled in just a quarter of an hour. Then the people looked at the heavily armed soldiers on the city wall in horror while carrying heavy straw bags to the city wall.
Next, the straw bags filled with soil were stacked under the city wall.
In just a quarter of an hour, a huge earth slope was almost taking shape.
Seeing that if these people are given a certain amount of time, the nomadic cavalry will be able to rush to the top of the city on the artificially laid earth slopes. By that time, the earth city that Wolfe asked those earth mages to build with so much hard work will still be there.
What is it for?
Wolf raised his right hand high, but was unable to order the archers and magicians to massacre these innocent civilians.
As an aristocratic general from the most orthodox military family in the Caesar Empire, all kinds of chivalry principles have been deeply imprinted into Wolfe's soul. Although he can mingle happily with the most basic soldiers on weekdays, although he is slovenly, it seems that
He looks like a sloppy middle-aged uncle, but his code of conduct is enough to become an example of knightly code.
Wolfe's hand seemed to be fixed in the air, and he could not issue that damn order.
A ferocious smile appeared on the faces of the nomadic cavalry. They slowly rode closer to the city wall, shouting loudly in a language that was very different from the mainland's lingua franca. Occasionally, a few cavalry would kick hard around them.
People coming and going asked them to speed up.
As long as this large slope can reach the top of the city, tens of thousands of nomadic cavalry can swarm up the city wall and chop Caesar's soldiers on the wall into pieces with their scimitars. There are even a few powerful nomadic generals at the level of the Great Knight of Heaven.
They had already looked at Wolfe and others with evil intentions. The uniforms they wore revealed their identities. Whoever could kill Wolfe would definitely have a huge achievement.
The special envoy of the Peak Kingdom shouted in a low voice: "Lieutenant General Wolf, they... they... are about to attack!"
Wolfe shook his head bitterly. He still couldn't issue that damn order. Instead of killing a single enemy, he killed tens of thousands of ordinary civilians first? As soon as this reputation spread, not only Wolfe himself,
His family, and even the entire Caesar Empire's military, would be unable to hold their heads high in front of their counterparts across the continent.
The low howl of wolves could be heard in the distance, and tens of thousands of giant gray-black prairie wolves were already charging towards the city wall with bared teeth. The earth slope was about to take shape, and these giant prairie wolves could rush up the city wall along the grass slope at any time.
When these fierce and fearless beasts disrupt the defenders' positions on the city wall, the nomadic cavalry can swarm forward.
If the city wall cannot be defended, Wolfe's Dragon Horn Legion will still have to fight a war of attrition on the plains with these damn nomadic cavalry, and this is something Wolfe and Caesar's generals cannot accept under any circumstances.
Just when Wolfe was at a loss during the battle, a clear, high-pitched voice came from high in the sky: "All soldiers listen to the order, and in the name of the God of Punishment, punish these human traitors who have taken refuge in the alien race! I pronounce the sentence
They are guilty, and they will all be sent to the stake! Anyone who kills them will receive the favor of the God of Punishment!"
The archers on the city wall suddenly heard the sound. They didn't even know who the sound came from. They seemed to have suddenly found the best excuse for killing. They loosened their bowstrings at the same time and fired one wave after another.
The arrows poured down.
Thousands of civilians closest to the city wall howled miserably and were shot into sieves by arrows, followed by large fireballs and large thunders roaring down. As soon as the fireballs hit the ground, they exploded violently, blasting holes deep into the ground.
A large crater several meters wide. The bodies of civilians were blown to pieces, and lightning flashed back and forth in the blood mist, hitting all the civilians who were lucky enough to escape the attacks of arrows and fireballs until electric sparks appeared all over their bodies.
Several earth mages cast the magic of clay puppets at the same time, and the straw bags piled under the city wall exploded one after another. Dozens of huge clay puppets slowly stood up in the mountains of dirt.
When the clay puppet magic took effect, a team of magicians from the desert temple in the distance raised their magic wands. They chanted spells loudly, and streaks of magic light sprinkled on the clay puppets. The newly formed puppets scattered again.
Piles of soil were piled under the city wall.
The people outside the city were running in embarrassment, screaming at the top of their lungs and running in panic.
But those giant prairie wolves immediately pounced on them, and large groups of nomadic cavalry also rode around them. The fleeing people were forced to gather together before they could run very far, and then the nomadic cavalry mingled in with ferocious smiles.
He walked among these civilians and walked slowly towards the city wall.
When passing the corpses of civilians who were shot by bows and arrows, the nomadic cavalry also picked up the corpses and filled the corpses into the trenches as they passed by. Some people simply carried the corpses and went straight to the city wall.
Come, obviously they want to throw these corpses under the city wall and pile up a hillside composed of corpses so that they can continue to attack the city.
"Keep shooting! Shoot these damn untouchables!" The clear voice sounded again, and at this time, everyone including Wolfe raised his head and looked over in horror.
Diogo was suspended in mid-air. He had restored the body of the three-headed demon dragon king. On his huge body stood three hundred strong demon dragons, including Arthur and Didi. Arthur looked down at the crowd arrogantly, holding his hands
He was frivolously playing with a scepter representing the high-ranking clergy of the Temple of Punishment. Look at the magic patterns engraved on the scepter and the red ruby inlaid on the top of the scepter. This is a scepter belonging to the cardinal red-clothed god.
Crown Archbishop's scepter.
Wolfe screamed angrily: "Who are you? What authority do you have to issue such an order?"
Didi jumped down, pushed away the guard next to Wolfe, and punched Wolfe cleanly in the stomach. The heavy blow hit Wolfe's liver just in time, and Wolfe was hit hard.
Wolf's vision went dark and he was punched until he fainted on the spot.
Although Wolff, whose strength is not at the peak of the heavenly realm, is a good hand in commanding large groups of troops, when it comes to personal strength, how can he be the opponent of Didi, a demigod-level abyss dragon?
Grabbing Wolf by the neck and lifting him up, Didi said in a deep voice: "Obey the orders of our Prince! Or, I will kill all of you!"
With a casual wave of his hand, a heavy scimitar suddenly appeared in Didi's hand. The twenty-odd Caesar soldiers who rushed towards him like wolves and tigers were chopped into two pieces by his knife, leaving dozens of corpses in pieces.
Blood was thrown everywhere, and the shrill screams made everyone who was about to move stop their movements.
Arthur waved his hand slowly: "With all your strength, at full speed, shoot everyone outside the city to death! If you disobey my order, do you want to be burned on the stake?"
The sound of "Chi Chi" was heard endlessly, and another wave of arrows was shot crazily towards the city wall. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (this site) to subscribe and reward. Your support is mine.
