Chapter 550: Break Through the War Temple
Boom!
Boom!
Rhodok Sergeants carried two siege logs with a diameter of three meters and a length of more than ten meters, they bombarded the gate of the War Temple fiercely.
No matter how strong the gate was, it could not withstand the continuous impact of the two siege logs.
The gate of the War Temple collapsed after being bombarded for ten minutes by 300 Rhodok Sergeants carrying siege logs.
Behind the collapsed gate was a long corridor. Through the corridor, one could see the knights who were ready to leave.
“Hmm, there are knights hidden in the War Temple?”
Kant thought that besides the priests on the second floor of War Temple, had all the fighting forces in War Temple been emptied by him?
“Lord, these knights are arranged in the square of War Temple. They are definitely not here for us to watch.”
Baheshtur looked at the knights and thought for a while. Suddenly, he said to Kant with a serious expression.
Seeing that Kant had turned his attention to him, Baheshtur continued, “In my opinion, these knights will definitely launch a fierce charge when we enter the tunnel of the guard hall. After learning a lesson from the battle with our knights yesterday, they will definitely not charge like yesterday.”
Kant frowned slightly, “I can see that the people of War Temple seem to have the determination to die. I’m afraid that they want to wait until we enter the tunnel before they launch an attack, turning themselves into a torrent of steel to deal a fatal blow to us.”
Baheshtur nodded, “Lord, you are wise!”
Kant looked at the knights on the opposite side of the tunnel and felt a slight headache.
The other party was obviously scheming. If they wanted to enter War Temple, they had to pass through the tunnel on the first floor of the guard hall of War Temple.
“I can let the mages use Nature Summon and let the golems be cannon fodders. However, these spells are reserved for the True God, the God of War. It would be a waste to use them here.”
For a moment, Kant, who was unwilling to let his army suffer too many losses, could not think of any effective methods.
“Baheshtur, do you have any good suggestions that can prevent our army from suffering too much loss and successfully pass through this tunnel?”
Baheshtur frowned and pondered for a moment. He said with some hesitation, “Can we send the Rhodok Sharpshooters into the tunnel and wait until the distance is right before directly firing the siege crossbow?”
Kant shook his head and said, “This tunnel is only 15 meters wide. The enemy’s 15 knights can occupy the entire tunnel. Look at the knights in the front row. They are all wrapped in iron armor and have extremely strong defense. The Rhodok Sharpshooters can only kill them within 50 meters. Moreover, I am sure that the 15 knights in the front row are all grand knights. In this way, at a distance of 50 meters, they are very likely to be able to block the arrows of the Rhodok Sharpshooters.”
“This method of yours won’t work. This is sending Rhodok Sharpshooters to death.”
Every Rhodok Sharpshooter held a siege crossbow, and their attacks were extremely powerful. Kant would never allow them to be buried together with the war knight order of War Temple so easily.
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
“With only two of us, we are short-sighted. With a group of people, we might be able to think of a way. Baheshtur, spread this problem to the entire army. See if anyone can think of another method?”
“If they have a good idea, get that soldier to come over and explain it to me directly!”
“Yes, Lord Kant!”
Baheshtur received the order and left.
Soon, the entire army knew of the difficulties they were facing. Kant and his army were just outside the War Temple’s main hall, trying to think of a way to break the situation.
Soon, a mage walked over and said respectfully to Kant, “My lord, I have a way!”
“Speak!”
“As long as we, the mages, cast the Nature Summon and let the golems walk in front of the army, we don’t have to be afraid of the enemy’s desperate charge!”
Kant smiled and shook his head, saying, “Although this method is feasible, I need you to keep this last Nature Summon and not use it lightly.”
The mage was disappointed and respectfully took his leave.
After a while, a Ravenstern Ranger came over and respectfully said to Kant, “Respected Lord Kant, I have an idea!”
“Oh, tell me about it!”
“We Ravenstern Rangers can ride on warhorses and retreat into the tunnel. When the war knight order charge to 100 meters, we can turn around and shoot them with extreme precision. At the same time, we can urge the horses to run so that the enemy can’t catch up to us. When they charge out of the tunnel, that will be the end of them.”
Kant thought this was a good idea and gave it a try.
However, it was not feasible.
The tunnel was only 15 meters wide. The horses had to go backwards, which needed more space, so it could only fit 10 horses side by side. Moreover, only the last row of Raventern Rangers could shoot arrows. The rest of the Raventern Rangers needed to make space for the horses to accelerate, so they were further apart from each other.
The horses slowly retreated into the tunnel. It didn’t take long for the Raventern Rangers to notice this problem.
They left dejectedly.
After a while, a Swadian Royal Knight came to Kant’s side.
“My lord, I have thought of an idea. I wonder if it will work?”
“Tell me first!”
“This War Temple is so big. Can we push it to a section of the wall and open a gap to enter from there?”
Kant shook his head after hearing this, “The walls of the War Temple are ten meters tall and five meters thick. There are hard rocks inside. With our siege weapons, it will be difficult to push it in.”
The Swadian Royal Knight returned to the army in disappointment.
After that, no soldier had thought of a way.
Kant thought to himself, “Should we use the mages’ Natural Summon?”
But Kant was a little unwilling.
If he used the mages’ natural summon, what else he could use as cannon fodder and shield when facing the God of War? Could he use the level 5 troop class, Rhodok Sergeants?
Kant, who was in a dilemma, looked up and immediately saw the two pieces of siege logs that Rhodok Sergeants had unloaded.
Instantly, his eyes lit up!
Got It!
Got the method!
The siege log was three meters in diameter and ten meters in length. It was extremely thick and heavy.
It required 150 Rhodok Sergeants to lift it easily. Rhodok Sergeant was a level 5 troop class soldier, and their strength was as great as an ox.
