Chapter 1124: Soldiers Arrive at the Holy City(2/2)
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.
