Chapter 171 Long-range Attack (1)
"Doing so will cause considerable losses to our side. It is best to avoid it as much as possible."
“But if you’re afraid of losing…”
"No, we are not going to charge, how about we use ranged magic attacks?"
“There are magic defensive charms on the city walls.”
“Compared to doing nothing, the mental toll is calculable.”
Various opinions began to emerge.
"So, what if we combine long-range magic attacks with fast cavalry?"
"But the cavalry's ability to attack the city walls is almost zero, right?"
"Then attack with arrows."
“Oh, I see.”
"If we attack with a cavalry force of a thousand men, the enemy will be under considerable pressure, right, Your Highness?"
General opinions were put forward and then adjustments were made.
“Yeah, that’s about it, right?”
"Secretary of Military Affairs, in addition to long-range attacks, can we have magicians ride on horses to provide support?"
“Of course it’s possible, but it’s a pity.”
It was difficult to commit valuable magician troops to the attack on the city walls when one had to prepare for a certain degree of losses.
"Fino, if you get close to the city wall, can you add damage to the defense charm?"
"Um?"
Fino was confused by Galatea's sudden question, but after a moment's thought, he replied, "If I am completely protected and can focus my most powerful magic on the same spot multiple times, I might be able to cause some damage to the wall."
"So, if I just rest and repeat a few times, I can make a hole?"
"Wait a moment."
When an effective attack method seemed to have emerged, Ye Kai stopped.
“We are facing a serious problem now.”
"...! "
The atmosphere was tense, and when Klein was about to order the troops to disband, Ye Kai continued, "We are almost out of food. We need emergency supplies!"
"Don't worry, I can provide you with endless amounts of food as long as you can eat."
Galatea was exhausted and could only say these words.
"Then I will work as agreed, Miss Galatea."
"What are your plans, Ye Kai?"
Klein was also discouraged, but responded to his equivocal words: "We will not attack Loazin directly. There are more innocent people among the citizens there. If we attack there, it will inevitably result in the sacrifice of citizens."
"But the enemy has already retreated. Are we helpless?"
"Not really. There is a way. Please prepare for a field battle and develop a strategy."
"Field battle?" When Galatea asked suspiciously, Ye Kai smiled confidently and replied, "We will lure them into chaos."

"The Kingdom of God Treba does not need to treat the generals of the Demon Realm Mountains like a wall of flesh." The words of the ruthless Emperor Lu Fan caused an uproar in the palace.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty! On the Phrygian front, we just received news that General Concrete was killed. If we lose another general, our army will not be able to function properly."
"Well, let's ask this. What is the duty of a general? Isn't it their responsibility to lead the army, and if they fail, to offer their heads and ask God for forgiveness?"
(So aren't you responsible for Treba's situation?)
Although Minister of Military Affairs Kursas had such thoughts in mind, he did not show it and continued to argue: "Loajin still has 30,000 soldiers. If we mobilize from the city, it may reach 50,000. If we cannot use these legions effectively, we will not only fail to defend Loajin, but also fail to expect victory. Please think again."
"Well, then, are you saying that with 50,000 men, we can present victory to me?"
"Yes, if Your Majesty allows, Yagar and I will go all out to pursue victory at the cost of this life. Please have mercy on us once."
"Very well. If you can present your victory to me, God will surely bless you."
"Thank you very much. Our divine soldiers will definitely bring back the barbarian's head for Your Majesty. Please give us some time."
(Anyway, it’s time to fight to the bitter end.)
Kursas thought so in his heart.
If they failed here, even if they negotiated peace, Treba would become a vassal of Holzlein and Phrygia, and those responsible for the war would be beheaded and their bodies exposed in the wild.
What was the point of risking one's life on the battlefield if one was doomed to fail? Victory must now be won at all costs. Everyone would fight desperately. The Holzlein soldiers had to experience firsthand the horror of being cornered.
Kurthas believed this. Until the next moment.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! But the city wall... the city wall has been destroyed!"
The news that shattered all hope echoed in the palace.
----------------
Back in time.
In the morning mist, the Senel bird walked slowly, and the four horses seemed to be taking a stroll, their eyes sweeping across the walls of Loatzin.
Just five hours had passed, and the area around Loajin was shrouded in morning mist. The last time they came here, they also approached in the morning mist. This time, the morning mist hid their figures again.
“Is this okay?”
Ye Kai got off Purple's horse and stabbed the ground with the claws of his multifunctional gloves to conduct a wide-area search. There was no response from anyone on the surrounding walls. Although some people had woken up, it would take some time for them to appear on the street corner.
"Are you ready, Fino?"
"OK."
She thought of her conversation with Ye Kai last night.
"If we want to use remote control magic to destroy the city wall, is it easier to use the wind system or the earth system?" Ye Kai asked.
"We discussed this during the day. Even with my maximum output of magic, I could only leave a few scratches on the wall."
"I'll take care of the defensive seal. So, what kind of magic is more suitable for destroying the wall without letting it fall apart?"
After a moment's thought, she replied, "Long-range magic, right? Even if you use wind blades, it would be extremely difficult to control something as solid as the street wall in order to cut through it and determine the direction of collapse."
“Oh, sorry. I don’t think that’s possible.”
"At this point, if we use the earth-based Houkai Shatter, we only need to embed the occurrence coordinate setting, and it will be effective even from a distance. However, a small hill of sand may form below."
"Well, let's choose that one. Have you considered what kind of structure we should adopt?"
"Okay, I got it." Ye Kai sat cross-legged and pointed the multifunctional gloves at the city wall. Pop, pop, pop, the usual sound was heard, and the bluish-white laser stretched out towards the city wall.
