As soon as he stood on the high platform, a group of high priests approached him with concern and asked.
Although after the siege began, only the magic armored vehicles in Nalant's team went out to fight.
But this cannot change Nalant's status in the hearts of the high priests of the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God.
And what Nalant did just now made them even more curious as to why Narant suddenly approached the wall of the Holy City.
"High Priests, I understand this, so don't worry!"
"In addition, the reason why I am close to the wall of the Holy City is because I discovered a secret about the Holy City of the Kingdom of the Sun!"
"And this secret is likely to help our Kingdom of God coalition attack this holy city and gain the power of war!"
Nalant could hear the concern and curiosity of the high priests of the coalition forces, so he smiled and directly stated his purpose of doing so without being verbose.
"What? Discovering the secret of the Holy City can help us conquer the Holy City?"
All the high priests of the Kingdom of God were shocked, showing expressions of disbelief.
They have already lost hundreds of thousands of people in this holy city, but it is still unclear when they can break through.
So if what Narant said is true, it is definitely great news.
"Baron Nalant, what is this secret? Please tell us!"
After the high priests of the coalition forces came to their senses, they no longer hesitated and asked questions quickly.
Nalant nodded, "High Priests, take a look at the corners of the Holy City of the Kingdom of the Sun. Do you find anything?"
Nalant immediately pointed directly at the wall of the Holy City and asked the high priests.
The few people immediately looked towards the corner of the Holy City and searched carefully.
But after looking at it for a while, they all frowned, with doubts in their eyes.
"Baron Nalant, we... found nothing!"
The city wall is still the same city wall, and the corners of the city wall are also protected by magic circles. They have been paying attention to the army's siege every day, and they are more familiar with it than Nalant.
"Everyone, although it is not obvious, take a look at the scratches on the foot of the city wall." Narant reminded.
Only then did the high priests pay attention to those traces that were originally sparse and ordinary.
There were indeed a lot of scratches, some were new and some were old, but they were all very minor. If Narant hadn't pointed it out directly, they probably wouldn't have cared at all.
"Baron Nalant, there are indeed a lot of scratches on the corners of the wall, and some of them are brand new. They should have been hit by soldiers or stones when they fell...wait..."
"There...there are new scratches on this corner of the wall. What's going on?"
A coalition high priest immediately nodded in response to Nalant.
But halfway through, the words stopped abruptly.
Those who can become the high priests of the Kingdom of God are naturally not stupid either.
I just didn't pay attention to it before, but now that Nalant has pointed it out, I immediately discovered the problem.
"That's right, how could this happen? There are actually scratches..."
The other high priests of the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God also became suspicious.
Nalant then continued to smile and nod, "It seems that the high priests have also discovered it."
"There is a magic circle on the wall of this holy city. Let alone the trebuchet and arrows, even the magic cannon cannot leave the slightest mark!"
"So, the marks scratched by the corpses of soldiers or stones on the corners of the wall are obviously very incredible."
"And the reason why I was close to the city wall just now was because I discovered this problem, so I went to verify it myself."
"And after my verification, I came to the conclusion that the walls of the Holy City are not 100% indestructible."
"As long as the magic circle is not effective, the city wall can be easily destroyed."
"However, if you want the magic circle to be ineffective, the attack power can only be below extraordinary power."
"Even the power of the Bronze Knight will cause the magic circle to take effect!"
"It turns out that only ordinary power can destroy the city wall. So this is really a flaw in the wall of the Holy City!"
After listening to Nalant's explanation, the high priests of the coalition forces immediately admired Nalant for being able to pay attention to such an inconspicuous thing.
"Just Baron Nalant, if it is true that only ordinary people can destroy the city wall, do we have to send tens of thousands of ordinary people to come and then cut open the city wall?"
"I'm afraid this will not be easy, because ordinary people are too weak to survive the attack of the Kingdom of the Sun."
"Moreover, the thickness of the base of the holy city is probably more than ten meters. It will take a lot of manpower and time to dig through it!"
At this time, a high priest of the Kingdom of God thought he had figured out the way Nalant had previously mentioned to break the Holy City.
He did put forward his own point of view a little bit.
Of course, this is not a question of Narant, but a habitual discussion.
Immediately, the high priest of the Kingdom of God said: "Ordinary people do not have much resistance to the attack of the Sun Kingdom Guards."
"However, as long as we take strict protection and cover, there is no chance."
"In addition, although the city wall is hard and its thickness is unimaginable, as long as we work hard to dig through it, there is still a chance to penetrate the city wall of the Kingdom of the Sun God."
"At that time, we only need to dig a few two- or three-meter-wide passages that can accommodate teams entering the city, and then cooperate with other teams to climb up and attack the city."
"Then the chance that this holy city will be captured by us will be several times higher."
"This method proposed by Baron Nalant is indeed an opportunity. I think it is feasible."
"After all, it is definitely easier to dig caves in the city wall than to attack the city regardless of losses for several months!"
The high priest of the Kingdom of God explained clearly and logically.
When the other high priests of the Kingdom of God heard his explanation, they couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Indeed, although it is difficult for ordinary people to dig hard wall holes, it is more cost-effective than asking the escort to forcibly attack the city.
Although ordinary people have poor defense, we should do more protection and recruit more ordinary people.
Although the walls of the Holy City are deep, if more people are digging at the same time, it will be impossible to dig through without the walls.
"..."
But looking at the high priests of the Kingdom of God who were getting more energetic as they talked, Nalant was a little speechless.
This is obviously your own idea, when did it become my idea?
I just said that I discovered the weakness of this holy city, but I didn't say how to break it.
"Baron Nalant, what's wrong with you? Is there anything else you need to add?"
"Just tell us, we will go back and recruit ordinary people as soon as possible."
"With this method, we hope to capture the Holy City within one and a half months!"
Seeing Nalant's strange expression, the high priests of the coalition forces thought he had something to add.
"Everyone, I have never thought of the method you just did."
"After all, that is too time-consuming and labor-intensive!" Nalant shook his head helplessly and expressed his true thoughts.
The high priests of the coalition forces immediately looked embarrassed after hearing this.
Upon seeing this, Nalant continued: "Actually, I have a better idea. If it succeeds, I will be more confident about breaking into the wall of the Holy City..."
"Really, Baron Narante?"
Upon hearing Nalant's words, the high priests of the coalition forces immediately forgot their embarrassment and quickly asked Nalant.
"That's true, but I haven't tested this method, and I can't be sure it's 100% effective."
"So, if we really choose this method, the real result will not be determined until the end." Nalant nodded and continued to speak.
"Baron Narante, tell me"
"No matter what, we are willing to give it a try. Even if it doesn't succeed, we will never blame Baron Nalant!"
When the high priest of the Kingdom of God heard this, he automatically ignored the second half of Nalant's words.
Because in their opinion, whatever method Nalant can come up with might actually succeed.
After all, Nalant has been creating miracles since the beginning of Dry Bone Hills.
"Then thank you high priests for your trust!" Nalant nodded.
"Baron Narant, tell me what we need to do, what we need to prepare, and how many manpower we need to dispatch."
All the high priests looked solemn at the moment, and they were all ready to cooperate at all costs.
Seeing how solemn they were, as if they were making a big move, Narant smiled.
"Actually, there aren't many things prepared, just wood and wooden stakes."
"As for manpower, we only need 50,000 coolies!"
"Timber and stakes, fifty thousand coolies?"
"Baron Narant, the number is too small. Why don't we mobilize another 200,000 ordinary guards?"
All the high priests of the Kingdom of God were shocked. When they heard Nalant's request, they felt a little guilty for no reason.
After all, the better the method, the more preparation work must be done.
If nothing else, 50,000 people might not be enough to serve as food in front of this holy city, right?
"The escort is also fine, but let's send 20,000 to 30,000 people. We only need long archers!"
Seeing the expressions of the high priests of the Kingdom of God, Nalant did not explain in detail.
However, longbowmen do still need some.
Seeing that everyone wanted to talk, Nalant waved his hand, "Everyone, my method really doesn't require more manpower and materials!"
"Okay, then we all listen to Baron Nalant!"
Only then did the high priests of the Kingdom of God finally give up.
"Very well, high priests, please stop your siege battles in the next few days!"
"Give me a week. If my method cannot break through the city wall after a week, then follow your previous method!"
Narante spoke.
"Okay, Baron Narante!"
Naturally, the high priests had no objection.
The attack was quickly stopped.
After the attack stopped, a group of allied high priests dispatched 50,000 serf coolies according to Nalant's instructions.
Narant divided the 50,000 serf coolies into two teams.
A detachment of thirty thousand men went to cut down the chains and obtain timber and long stakes.
The other 20,000 people were sent to the upper reaches of the river on the left side of the Holy City to search for tidal flats.
Soon a day passed and with 50,000 people, the wood and stakes were immediately ready.
"Baron Narante, what should we do next?"
A group of high priests from the Kingdom of God have been surrounding Nalant since yesterday.
It seemed that after they stopped attacking the city, they had nothing to do.
Nalant, on the other hand, looked helpless, "Now let the longbowmen provide cover and let the coolies transport the wood to the foot of the holy city wall and light it on fire."
"Use wood to burn the walls of the Holy City?"
All the high priests were stunned.
"That's right, burning the walls of the Holy City!"
Narante smiled and nodded.
"Okay... okay, Baron Narante!"
Although they had doubts, the high priests of the Kingdom of God tolerated their curiosity and followed Nalant's instructions.
Soon, the coolies, under the cover of longbowmen and magic armored vehicles, transported the wood to the lower part of the city wall for ignition.
After a while, you can see the walls of the Holy City shrouded in flames and smoke.
Of course, because of the height of the city wall, the burning of the flames would ultimately only affect a height of more than ten meters in the Holy City.
Nalant also told the high priests to keep the flames burning in the corners of the city wall and not extinguish them.
After explaining, he personally rushed to the upper reaches of the river on the left side of the Holy City.
At this time, 20,000 coolies were already waiting again.
"Lumba, take a look at this terrain and instruct these coolies to build a water dam."
"It doesn't need to be too strong, it just needs to be able to maintain water storage for more than ten days."
"Other than that, the only requirement is to be fast, and it can be built within two days!"
Nalant brought the goblin Lumba over and immediately began to give instructions.
"Yes, your noble lord, this matter is taken care of by Lumba."
"Such a simple dam, with 20,000 people and enough wooden piles, can be completed in just one day and one night."
Lumba looked at the shallows ahead and patted his chest in assurance.
The reason why we chose to build a dam in this shoal is to reduce the difficulty of construction.
Otherwise, if you are at a depth of three to four meters, you still need to make a lot of preliminary preparations.
But in this shoal, a temporary dam can be easily completed by inserting large wooden piles more than ten meters long and then reinforcing them with sand, gravel and soil.
"Okay, Rumba, then I'll leave this place to you!"
Nalant nodded. He felt relieved to leave such a simple task to Lumba.
After returning to the camp, the front and right wall of the Holy City were still in fierce flames.
A group of high priests are always paying attention to the fire. Once the fire is weak, they will direct the coolies to continue to add fire.
Of course, the burning city wall is not the entire section, but only about a mile wide.
In this way, it is very easy to keep the fire burning.
If it really works, the width here is completely enough.
Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner and according to plan, Nalant stopped paying attention and went back to his tent to start practicing.
…
And Narant can rest easily.
But his proposed move left the Sun God Kingdom a little confused.
Silas originally estimated the days, but now more than half of the half-year required by the Sun God has passed.
And according to the current form, he can definitely defend until then.
Therefore, he is also in a relaxed mood.
But just yesterday, the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God suddenly made a strange move.
They actually stopped attacking the city. Instead, they set up firewood under the city wall and burned the wall with fire.
Are they planning to use fire to melt the rocks?
Is this mindless?
Or is it whimsical?
Everyone knows that unless it is iron ore or copper ore, you cannot melt ordinary stone even if you burn it for a lifetime.
