Chapter 158 Finalizing the Siege Plan
Rhodes Territory is the core territory near the royal capital. Its ruler is the Marquis of Rhodes, and his Rhodes City is impregnable.
The entire city of Rhodes is pentagonal, with a total of two city gates. The city walls are ten meters high. Each city wall is equipped with ten destruction-level magic cannons and is equipped with a tracking array.
These destruction-level magic cannons are extremely powerful. Four or five cannons can kill a Sky Knight. The disadvantage is that the reloading speed is very slow.
If most of the troops were not transferred to the royal capital, it would be really difficult for Xiwei to attack Rhodes City with the 30,000 people he currently has.
But now is a perfect opportunity.
Currently, according to the information given by Calante, there are only three sky knights and one legion-level great mage in Rhodes City.
What Xiwei has to do is to execute the beheading plan and kill the command level of Rhodes City, especially the legion-level great magicians, to disrupt the defense of the city wall and reduce the difficulty of siege.
The question before us now is how to get close to the city wall without anyone noticing and still sneak in when Rhodes City is under complete martial law.
But before that, what Xiwei had to do was report the progress to Kalant.
Now is not the time to rebel, you still have to do what you should do.
He took out the communication crystal. This blue crystal has a simple crystal button on it, which can be activated by pressing it.
Its use is similar to that of a walkie-talkie, but there are differences.
After pressing the spar button, Kalant had received a prompt, and soon a message was cast in front of Xiwei through the communication crystal.
[Report your situation, Earl Eagle]
"I have arrived at the attack point, but there are ten destruction-level magic cannons on each wall of Rhodes City, making it very difficult to attack the city." Xiwei told the communication crystal.
[This is true for all the city walls in the core territory of the royal capital. Use the lives of soldiers to fill them. These magic cannons are very heavy.]
[You can launch an siege now. I only need you to gather at the designated location in three days, no matter what method you use]
The communication ended here, and Kalant took the initiative to cut off the contact.
Xiwei curled his lips and felt very unhappy. He originally wanted to see if he could get some benefits.
"Lord, I think I should be able to solve your problem." Roy came to Xiwei and winked at him playfully.
When she was outside, she always regarded herself as Xi Wei's subordinate, behaved very well, and always looked respectful, far from the charm and sweetness between the bed.
It's not because of seeing outsiders.
Mainly, she hoped that even if something unexpected happened, it would not become Xiwei's weakness.
"Oh? What's the point of my Time Knight?"
Xiwei smiled slightly, looked at the beautiful fox-eared girl beside him, and said jokingly.
Hearing this, Ruoyi rolled her eyes charmingly and said seriously:
"If we can get close to the city wall, I can use time stasis to slow down the time. This range has a maximum radius of ten meters, which should be enough for us to enter Rhodes City."
"But your body..."
Ruoyi smiled softly when she heard this, raised her slender and tender hands and gently covered Xi Wei's mouth.
"Let me help you, okay?"
Just a few words contained all of Roy's emotions.
Facing Zoe's pleading eyes, Xiwei frowned and her throat rolled, unable to refuse after all.
Although she usually looks easy to bully, she actually has a more stubborn temper than Luo Li.
Moreover, the method she proposed is indeed feasible.
But for the sake of safety, and also for the safety of Roy and Lori.
Xiwei developed a new plan based on Roy's plan.
Currently, Rhodes City has insufficient troops, and it is difficult for soldiers to guard every city wall.
So he planned to let the players and the soldiers under Most's command launch an all-out attack on a city wall to attract firepower.
When most of the troops in Rhode City were concentrated on one city wall, he led a group of sky knights such as the Frightening Ghost Rider and quickly broke through the other city wall with the help of Ruoyi's time-stopping ability.
Anyway, Most’s soldiers don’t feel bad if they die, the players will be resurrected, they are the best cannon fodder.
Thinking of this, in order to mobilize the players' fearless spirit, Xiwei immediately began to issue tasks to the players through the system:
【Ding--】
[The epic war mission has been triggered: Attack Rhodes City]
[Task description: Since there is a destruction-level magic cannon on Rhodes City, in order to complete the decapitation plan, the Eagle Lord needs you to lead Most's army to attract the attention of a city wall]
[Mission Objective: Launch a death-defying all-out attack on the main wall of Rhodes City]
[Task limit: no limit]
[Task rewards: experience points, equipment enhancement coupons, equipment lottery tickets]
[Task tip: Please be careful to avoid the attacks of magic cannons, they will cause you huge losses]
[Mission Tip 2: The risk of death in this mission is extremely high, please try to drive Most’s men away to attack first]
…
Road Town Castle Conference Hall.
The Marquis of Rhodes, Rod Frieza was sitting at his desk, looking down at the information brought by the spies.
Suddenly a soldier staggered to the door and reported loudly:
"Lord, there is new information!"
"Bring it up."
Rhodes' face darkened, he estimated that Graycastle had already launched an operation.
Unfolding the information handed over by the soldiers, he read it roughly, his expression gradually relaxed, and he couldn't help but sneer:
"More than 10,000 soldiers want to capture Rhodes City. Is this old bastard Kalant's brain trapped in the door? It's simply fantastic."
"Lord, is there any fraud here?" the soldier asked hesitantly.
Rhodes nodded after hearing this and said:
"There must be fraud, but on the other hand, it also shows that the opponent's troops are not strong enough to capture Rhodes City head-on. In this case, we only need to hold on to the city wall."
"No matter what happens, don't go out of the city to fight. Now most of our troops are in the royal capital. The destruction-level magic cannon on the city wall is our biggest support."
Rhodes smiled confidently. He had already seen the enemy's tactics, which was probably to show their weakness and try to lure them out of the city.
It was impossible to leave the city. The reason why Rhodes was able to achieve the position of Marquis was because he was cautious enough.
Rhodes thought about it carefully, but still felt that it was not safe, so he ordered the soldiers: "Ask the great wizard Mels to go to the city wall and watch. I allow him to take the woman up with him, but what needs to be done must be done as well.
You have to do it for me, otherwise I will take back all the women given to him."
"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left.
Rhodes was the only one left in the conference hall.
He frowned and thought for a while, simulating more than a dozen possible plans of the enemy in his mind.
He even considered the situation where the enemy rode a dragon into Rhodes City.
"What if? What if they don't want to sacrifice blood to summon the demon king?"
"No, no, it's still not safe."
Marquis Rhodes thought over and over again, packed up some valuable supplies, and brought a horse and tied it in the cellar of the castle.
There is a secret passage here that leads to the outer suburbs of the royal capital.
If there was really a one-in-a-million chance that Rhodes City was attacked by a group of dragon knights, or a group of evil soldiers sacrificed themselves to summon the Demon King, then he would immediately hide in the cellar and escape.
