Chapter 403 Dawn City, the forbidden area of ??death
There are countless traps buried in Thorn Ridge, which seriously hinder the march of the army.
In less than two hours of walking, more than a hundred people were stabbed to death by steel needles in the trap.
Even if the knight has fighting energy to protect his body, it will not work, because the needle tips are smeared with highly toxic poison, and it can kill people as long as the skin is slightly scratched.
Until now, only one percent of this thorny ridge has been covered. By the time it is completely covered, we don’t know how many casualties it will cause.
Benson thought hard about several ways to solve the problem. He first ordered people to capture a few pheasants and wild rabbits to explore the road ahead. Unfortunately, these little guys were too light to trigger the trap, so he had to give up.
Later, Benson called the human soldiers in charge of the baggage to come over and clear the way. This could indeed avoid the death and injury of the knights, but those ordinary people were not fools. They knew they were going to die in front, even if they put a knife on their necks.
No, it's all death anyway.
In the end, an earl came up with the idea of rounding the big stone and rolling it in front. This method was really good. Even if they fell into a trap, they could replace it with another stone.
However, this safe method had a fatal flaw, that is, the movement speed was too slow, almost like a turtle speed, which made Benson scratch his head anxiously.
In just half a day's journey, they walked for five days.
Benson cursed angrily in his heart: "Asshole Chris, when I get to Dawn City, I want you to look good!"
······
Reputation 3 from Biberon, 5 reputation from Potala, 4 reputation from Kantana...
Chris looked at the system prompts that kept popping up in front of him with a smile on his face.
He knew that those marquises had all won the battle.
In the past few days, Chris has been gaining reputation points continuously.
In border cities, everyone from noble knights to ordinary civilians can gain reputation after winning a battle.
"Next, it's my turn." Chris stood up and stretched. He sent people to dig hundreds of traps throughout the Thorn Ridge, seriously slowing down the little prince Shadow Leopard.
Of course, the locations of those traps are clearly marked on the unique map, so that they won't be trapped after the Expansion Order war is over.
On June 6, Benson arrived at Dawn City with more than 35,000 knights.
Chris had already assembled the city's defense equipment on the north wall and was personally in charge.
Finally arriving at the place where his grand plans were about to be revealed, Benson was not as excited as he had imagined, but rather very angry.
That despicable boy caused so much trouble for himself, it is simply unforgivable!
Benson stood at the front of the army and shouted energetically: "Chris, get out of here!"
Chris turned into a dragon and flew in the air. Looking at the boy opposite him who was several years younger than him, he touched his ears with his little finger, put it in front of his mouth and blew gently, mocking: "Where is this?"
The little fur baby here, have you been weaned?"
Benson was suddenly speechless, and his face turned blue and white.
As the little prince of the Shadow Leopard Kingdom, he has always been the target of people around him since he was born. How could he ever be so insulted?
He immediately became angry and shouted: "Give me the order and the whole army will attack!"
The nobleman next to him immediately persuaded him: "Your Highness, the army has been traveling for several days and needs to rest. This time is not suitable for attacking the city."
Benson kicked him away and said angrily: "When we attack Dawn City, I will let you play for ten days and ten nights. But now you must listen to me and start attacking the city. If anyone can capture Chris alive, I will give it to him."
Make him a count."
The horn of charge has sounded, and tens of thousands of troops are pouring into Dawn City like a tide.
"He's such an impulsive guy." Chris shook his head and whispered, "Then I'll give you some color to see."
As the royal capital of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom, Dawn City has the strongest defense force, with up to 800 artillery pieces and more than a thousand catapults.
The few people brought by Prince Benson are far behind Kiel.
Soon, the enemy troops entered the attack range.
"Boom boom boom!"
Cannon fire was fired from the city wall, and catapults and artillery launched their first round of firing.
The clay bomb exploded overhead, scattering countless pieces of iron like rain.
A large section of the knights who rushed at the front fell instantly, and only a few of the stronger ones were still standing.
The number of dead in this round of attacks was five to six hundred, and two to three thousand were injured, accounting for one-tenth of the total number of people.
Even those who were lucky enough to survive were lying on the ground wailing, obviously losing their ability to fight.
The noble knights were so frightened that they stopped and no longer dared to move forward.
A second round of firing started on the city wall, but most of the enemies were out of attack range, so the casualties this time were very few.
The troops of the Shadow Leopard Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief and stopped moving forward.
Do you think this is the end? Of course not!
More than a hundred hot air balloons rose in Dawn City, covering the sky and the sun, and connected together, blocking out the sun's rays and making the sky within a few kilometers around become dark.
These hot air balloons flew over the enemy troops and dropped countless clay bombs like fish laying eggs.
The noble knights below were blown away, and the originally neat team became chaotic.
After throwing away the bombs they carried, the hot-air balloon flew away. This wave of tactical bombings caused at least tens of thousands of casualties to the Shadow Leopard Kingdom, and the victims were everywhere.
Benson was simply shocked, what the hell is this?
He came here with his army full of enthusiasm, but he did not expect to encounter such a strange situation.
Without even touching the edge of the city wall, one-third of our own side was damaged. How should we fight this battle?
"Ouch!" With a loud roar, a huge red dragon nearly fifty meters long appeared in the air. His whole body was wrapped in blazing flames, which twisted the air.
Chris locked Benson's direction, flapped his wings and flew over, he was going to carry out the beheading operation.
Anyway, this is not the first time he has done it, so he is familiar with it.
As long as this annoying guy is eliminated, the entire army will be nothing more than a pile of loose sand.
Those who are willing to surrender can stay, and those who are not willing to surrender, haha...
The red dragon gradually enlarged in his pupils. Benson clenched his fists and dug his nails into his flesh. However, when he saw the two figures in the crowd, his mood softened slightly.
"Roar!" The scorching dragon flames spit out at Prince Benson and burned him to ashes in just a few seconds, leaving no bones or dregs behind.
At this moment, a white-haired old man stood in front of Benson, spread out his hands, and held up a huge shield more than ten meters high to block the dragon flame pillar.
