Chapter 1496 – The First Battle (8)
The victory of the four-nation alliance did not bring joy to anyone.
Even the arrogant Qu Xun felt that this time was a big loss. The only thing to be thankful for was that Del City was
not owned by the Lan Yue Dynasty. Even if it was destroyed, the people of Long Xuan Empire should be the ones
feeling distressed.
At the end of the first battle, the four countries reorganized.
Yao Ji and Du Lang snuck through the underground passage and returned to The Rising Sun City with the remaining
demons.
“Lord, I am incompetent; I was not able to destroy more than a few siege weapons.” Yao Ji appeared in the City
Lord Residence and suddenly kneeled in front of Shen Yanxiao to humbly apologize.
Shen Yanxiao immediately stood and helped Yao Ji up.
“I was already very surprised by the fact that you were able to do that.” When Du Lang and the others returned, they
reported the situation of the four-nation alliance to Shen Yanxiao
Shen Yanxiao was shocked when she heard the report.
According to Xiu, the walls made by obsidian should not be broken in such a short period of time.
“The siege weapons are that powerful? Can they break the obsidian walls of The Rising Sun City?” Shen Yanxiao
was very concerned about the information she had received.
Yang Xi looked at Shen Yanxiao and replied, “With more than a thousand siege weapons bombing in succession, the
fact that Del City could hold on for a day is already rare. If it were an ordinary city wall, they would just need an
hour to blast a hole in it.”
“Xiu has told me before that the human siege weapons are not so ferocious.” Shen Yanxiao stated.
Yang Xi sighed and said, “If I remember correctly, the War God entered a deep slumber nearly 10,000 years ago.
His understanding of human siege weapons should come from that time.”
Shen Yanxiao froze, then immediately understood the meaning of Yang Xi’s words.
Xiu had been sleeping all this time, and it was impossible for him to achieve a current understanding of the human
siege weapons.
It was not surprising that after thousands of years, more powerful weapons had been developed, given the wisdom
of human beings.
“It seems that we must find a way to destroy those siege weapons. If we let them drive up to The Rising Sun City,
I’m afraid it will not be able to hold on for long.” Shen Yanxiao stroked her chin. About these little siege weapons,
she really had little understanding.
“The destructive power of a siege weapon is great, but it has a fatal weakness.” Yang Xi, as the successor of the
family known for its forging department, immediately said.
“What weakness?”
“Slow movement. Because the siege weapon is too huge, the rate of advancement is very slow. According to Yao Ji,
the four-nation alliance is using magical beasts to pull them; even so, it is not that fast. Plus, the range of the siege
weapons is fixed and cannot be adjusted, unlike artillery; so, once you get close to a siege weapon, its attacks will
be ineffective.” Yang Xi explained.
“You mean, we can mount a sneak attack on the siege weapons?” Tang Nazhi raised his eyebrows and very much
liked the words “sneak attack”.
“In theory, yes. But do you think the alliance of the four countries are fools? The security around the siege weapons
must be very tight. If we want to sneak into where they are, it will not be so easy. And even if we can sneak in and
destroy a siege weapon, it will immediately attract their attention, so that it will be too difficult to do the same thing
again.” Qi Xia shook his head. Tang Nazhi’s method was not feasible.
Shen Yanxiao did not speak; she just squinted her eyes and thought deeply. Was there a way to destroy the siege
weapons of the four-nation alliance?
The destructive power of the siege weapons was too fierce for the city walls. If they could not be destroyed before
they reached The Rising Sun City, then it was definitely a disaster for them
