HBWnovel Chapter 137 Wall of Sighs
Chapter 137 Wall of Sighs
Early in the morning, the orcs began to besiege the city.
A large number of orc troops appeared around the imperial capital.
But Lyon wasn't worried at all.
Because in addition to the 20 imperial troops, there is also a Dayan Infantry Division in the city.
Moreover, the city walls of the imperial capital are so impressive that even Leon, a time traveler, is amazed by them.
The first is the main city wall which is 25 meters high.
This height is considered very high among the city walls.
Next are the twelve city gates and their fortresses.
Not only that, in addition to the main city wall, there is an outer city wall in front that is 15 meters high.
There is a loft every 100 meters.
Below the outer city wall is the moat, and the area near the moat and the outer city wall is a slope with an angle greater than 60 degrees.
This slope can increase the power of the rolling stone.
The outer wall is six meters wide, the inner wall is eight meters wide, and the moat is five meters wide.
The Imperial City is the pinnacle of cities in the Holy Empire.
Since its establishment, it has been besieged three times, but failed every time.
After suffering heavy casualties, they breached the outer city wall, only to be faced with the higher inner wall.
No one can accept this fact.
Barudi looked at the majestic imperial capital and couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that I can't take this city.
That’s right, after all, this is the Holy Empire!
However, a symbolic attack must be launched, otherwise there will be no retreat, and those parasites in the empire will not let themselves and these soldiers go.
Inside the orc army.
An orc boy who was forcibly conscripted into the vanguard camp was stunned when he saw the magnificent city wall in front of him.
He couldn't imagine that he would have to use his flesh and blood to capture this city that seemed impossible to take.
Looking at the other people around me, many of them had the same expression as me.
The boy was scared. His name was Urus. He was afraid that he would die here. He was the only male in the family. His father died in the war to invade the Violet Principality more than ten years ago.
Over the years, my mother raised me and my sister alone.
When I was caught and conscripted that day, my mother cried heartbreakingly.
I must go back alive!
My mother and sister are still waiting for me!
By chance, Urus saw Barudi who had just come out of the camp.
Barudi saw that the eyes of the young man from the vanguard camp were filled with a desire to survive.
Then, Barudi looked elsewhere.
He didn't dare to keep his eyes on the young man.
Because he had fought in countless battles and met many people who were as eager to survive as Urus.
But their end was all to be buried in a foreign land.
It has been more than 30 years since the orcs conquered the West by Alexander the Great.
In just over thirty years, the Orc Empire had three emperors.
But none of these three emperors was a peace-loving person.
Always trying to start wars and expand territory.
There is nothing wrong with launching a war if there is strong economic support.
However, the economy of the Orc Empire has been sluggish in recent years and has not improved.
But the emperor always wanted to launch a war southward.
Fortunately, the emperor now has some brains and is not in a hurry to start a war.
After a few years of recuperation, the war was launched.
However, decades of continuous war were about to destroy the Orc Empire.
The war potential has been exhausted.
This war was forced by the Orc Empire.
If it fails, the empire will fall into endless crisis.
So Barudi has made preparations and is determined to preserve some of his manpower at all costs.
At least we must save the Orc Empire.
He didn't want to see the Orc Empire destroyed.
But these are all later stories. The current task is to siege the city...
"Woo~"
As the attack horn sounded.
The 50,000-man vanguard battalion began their meaningless death.
However, although they were going to die, Barudi was a good commander.
He assembled all the magicians and the latest creations of the Orc Empire.
Magic crystal cannon!
Looking at the cannon that is more than four meters long.
Lyon suddenly felt worried about the walls of the imperial capital.
Seeing such abundant firepower, the Orc Vanguard Battalion couldn't help but feel more at ease.
"Boom boom boom!"
The orc army's magicians and magic crystal cannons began to cover the infantry's attack.
After being severely beaten, they finally learned how to coordinate infantry and artillery.
And he learned it in a very good manner.
The horrific attack fired by the magic crystal cannon hit the outer city wall.
Terrifying magic soared into the sky.
Many soldiers on the city walls were turned into gas.
But the city wall is still strong, but it is covered with cracks.
Seeing the puzzled Leon, Cadis explained to him why such a terrifying magic crystal cannon could not destroy the city wall.
“This is because the outer wall is connected to a huge magic circle. If a certain part of the wall is attacked, the power will be evenly distributed throughout the entire outer wall.
At the same time, the defensive magic circle of the outer city wall and the defensive magic circle of the inner city wall are separate.
That is to say, if the orcs used all their strength to destroy the outer wall, the inner wall could still hold out for a long time."
After hearing Cadis' explanation, Leon couldn't help but touch his chin.
This is not a city wall, it is the Wall of Sighs!
However, if Dayan attacks this city, the outcome will be unknown.
After all, the big baby with a caliber of 800mm will be unveiled soon.
Leon is using it to deal with the demon army on the Western Front that has been in a stalemate for a long time.
The demons saw that they could not push their defense line forward, and at the same time, the army was too large.
Supplies in the rear were in short supply, so the demons withdrew from the front line, and a considerable number of troops returned to the rear to engage in production.
And in order to prevent the Elf Empire and the Dwarf Empire from launching an offensive.
The Demon Empire built a huge defense system.
He also mobilized several ninth-level magicians to activate forbidden magic.
A fortress defense line of hundreds of kilometers was successfully built.
Even the 355mm howitzers were unable to inflict effective damage on some of these fortresses.
As a result, the war on the Western Front has gradually stabilized, and the two sides are basically in a stalemate across a no-man's land of several hundred meters.
The elves' side is full of machine gun bunkers and barbed wire. As long as the demons dare to launch an attack, they will be ruthlessly shot.
So everyone is concerned about the Orc Empire's siege of the Holy Empire's capital.
Once the Orc Empire succeeds, the coalition forces of Demons and Orcs can break in from the Holy Empire.
Once the Orc Empire fails, humans and elves and dwarves can launch a counterattack.
Success or failure depends on this one move...
After the attack lasted nearly several hours.
The outer city wall of the imperial capital is already covered with cracks and is on the verge of crumbling.
The orc vanguard battalion also began its attack.
Urus looked at the city wall in front of him and swallowed.
The sergeant at the side patted him on the shoulder and said.
"We will go back, the Wolf God will protect us!"
