After hearing the news, no matter how exquisite the food was, it no longer tasted good, the banquet could not be held, and all the nobles present became very panicked.
Sri Lanka took a deep breath and encouraged: "Don't be afraid, we have a tall city wall, and they will never be able to attack it with just four thousand people."
The nobles calmed down a little. Since ancient times, the attacking party has to have several times more fighting power than the defenders to succeed.
Moreover, the enemy's powerful weapons are likely to be fixed on the city wall and cannot be brought over.
As for that big thing flying in the sky, the nobles didn't believe that it could fly all the way from Taote City to here.
That being the case, what else is there to worry about?
Sri Lanka shouted: "Take up arms, defend our city, and drive the enemy back!"
"Drive the enemy back!" The nobles clenched their fists one by one, with high enthusiasm.
"Let's go to the city wall!" Sri Lanka waved his hand.
The entire city of Mifa became active, and the knights made preparations for the battle, moving huge stones to the wall and preparing to drop them.
Sri Lanka led the nobles to climb the city wall, and sure enough they saw an army appearing in the distance.

"Your Majesty, Marquis, we are here, do we want to camp where we are?" Earl Robinson asked respectfully.
Bibron smiled and said: "No, why don't we go to the city to rest?"
"But, it is a big city after all, and I'm afraid it can't be captured without a ten-day or eight-day attack." Robinson said that he was already very conservative. In the previous development orders, only two or three cities were captured in two months.
.
Biblon held out three fingers.
"Three days? Isn't that too short?" Robinson couldn't believe it.
"It's three hours." Bibron said confidently, "You underestimate the weapons provided by His Majesty, and you underestimate the knights in the city. Those cowards, as long as we break through the city gate, they will probably be defeated."
They will try their best to escape instead of resisting desperately and just wait and see."
More than 500 oxcarts were driven over, loaded with gunpowder and clay pot bombs, as well as folded hot-air balloons, gun barrels and projectiles.
These things are very heavy and cannot be moved by horses, so only oxen can be used, which will be much slower.
What was originally a one-day journey took them four days.
Most of the time is spent on the road.
Biberon began to issue orders: "Set up the artillery for me, and launch all the hot-air balloons into the sky, ready to attack the city!"
"Yes!" The Blazing Dragon Kingdom took action in an orderly manner. They were already familiar with the road and moved very quickly.
But for Mifa City, this turned into a fright.
"Oh my god, how did they bring those big guys here?"
"Everyone, run quickly, the enemy is going to drop those terrifying things again."
Twenty-five hot air balloons hovered overhead, dropping countless clay bombs.
The knights of Mipha City were hiding here and there, looking for cover everywhere.
After several rounds of attacks, although no casualties were caused, no one could stand on the city wall anymore.
This world doesn't understand what air supremacy is. They only know that they are overwhelmed by the enemy and cannot raise their heads.
At the same time, thirty artillery pieces were set up outside the city, changing their angles and directions to aim at the city gate.
"Boom boom boom..."
The fire was rising, and apart from a few missed targets, there were more than twenty projectiles embedded in the door.
And this is far from the end, just the beginning.
A second round of shelling soon followed, this time all hits were hit, and fine cracks appeared on the tall and solid city gate.
Sri Lanka covered his ears with both hands, but the noise outside was so loud that his ears were buzzing.
There was only one thought in his mind: "It's over!"
The third round of bombardment began, and the city gate was crumbling, as if it would collapse with a slight push.
I have to say that the quality of these two doors is quite good, having survived more than eighty rounds.
Biberon kept His Majesty's advice in mind, and after firing three cannons, he temporarily stopped to cool down the barrels.
In the city, a viscount came to Sri Lanka and said urgently: "Your Highness, the city of Mifa can no longer be defended. Please retreat through the back door. I will cover you."
The iron rhinoceros prince's eyes were dull, and he was held up like a puppet and fled far away.
Not only him, but many nobles in the city also packed up their money and ran away.
Without the protection of the city wall, no one could stop the seventh-level marquis.
The knights were divided into two groups, and some chose to run away. No one knew what kind of crazy behavior the enemy would do when they entered the city; a small number of people decided to stay and surrender. Anyway, they were alone and had neither title nor title.
Without a fiefdom, you are at the bottom everywhere, so you might as well be loyal to the strong.
After the barrel cooled down, Bibron immediately sent someone to fire the fourth round.
The huge city wall collapsed after being hit by more than a dozen rounds, throwing up a lot of dust.
Biberon drew his long sword and roared: "Leave three hundred men to guard the ox cart, and the rest will follow me into the city."
"kill!"
The momentum displayed by the 3,700 people was stronger than the tens of thousands of enemy troops. They followed the Marquis and attacked Mifa City.
Biberon and his men rushed into the city, but they did not encounter effective resistance because all the enemies had fled.
An hour later, he was sitting in the city lord's mansion drinking tea.
Earl Robinson trotted over and flattered him: "Sir, you are really good at predicting things. We captured this big city easily."
It only took two and a half hours from the beginning to the end of the siege, thirty minutes earlier than Bibron had guessed.
Biberon asked: "What's the situation in the city now?"
He is only responsible for leading troops to fight, so naturally someone will help him understand such small things.
"There are about 90,000 residents living in Mifa City. Prince Iron Rhinoceros fled with 15,000 noble knights. In addition, 3,000 people are willing to surrender and be loyal to us." Robinson asked with a smile on his face, "Sir, these surrenders
How to deal with the knight?"
Biberon thought for a while and said: "First form a formation and let you lead it. Let the people outside drive the ox cart into Mifa City and rest here for a night. Tomorrow we will continue to the next city."
"yes!"

Benson, the little prince of the Shadow Leopard, was very depressed. He entered the Thorn Ridge with full enthusiasm, but encountered a lot of trouble.
In this desolate territory, if you are not careful, you will fall into a large pit dug by the enemy, and there are densely packed sharp steel needles standing at the bottom of the pit.
These traps are so well disguised that it is difficult to spot them from the outside.
Benson was the first person to fall into the pit. Fortunately, the armor he wore was specially made for him by the kingdom's high-level blacksmith, and it had very good defense.
Otherwise, he would die before reaching Dawn City.
