Urban Sims

Chapter 720
Twenty miles west of the fort.

The side of the Legion of Light.

In the command base camp at the rear of the battlefield.

Hilbert met Archbishop Obalch in red and made a request to dispatch the trump card troops.

"My lord bishop, that fortress has blocked us for three months, we can't delay any longer! I request the dispatch of the Paladins to destroy that fortress!"

As soon as he saw the Archbishop, Hilbert knelt down and begged.

Send out the Holy Knights?

Just to take down that seemingly insignificant fortress?

Hearing Hilbert's request, Auberger frowned.

In fact, during the past three months, Aubalkh heard this kind of request no less than a hundred times through the mouths of different generals, at most four or five times a day.

But they were rejected by him.

He didn't want to use the ace force so early.

Because the most common common sense is: the trump card should be saved for the last shot, and the trump card should be used at the beginning, so what kind of trump card is it?
The more important reason is: the Holy Knights are an offensive force suitable for use on flat terrain, but now they are used to attack cities. Isn't this a good weapon and cheap to use?
Moreover, the casualty rate in siege battles is extremely high, and the training of each paladin is expensive. It is too extravagant for a paladin to do the work of siege.

This is not appropriate.

So Archbishop Aubalkh repeatedly refused to send the Paladins.

So what about the Saint Mages?
Isn't there still a group of holy mages with more than 3 people?
The holy mage can release a variety of long-range attack magic. If you send the holy mage to go out and release a few more powerful long-range attack magic in groups, won't the fortress in front of you be finished soon?
The truth is this truth.

only……

In the opposite fortress, there are also a large number of legendary mages sent by the Magic Association, as many as 100!
With so many legendary mages, the mass attacks released by the holy mage group were basically blocked above the fortress, making it impossible to damage the buildings and personnel inside the fortress.

In addition, the terrain of the fort is condescending, and there are hundreds of cannons erected. The shells fired by each cannon can reach a distance of ten miles. Each of the powerful flowering shells is no less than level 5 magic... and the holy mage The body of a person is generally relatively weak. Once the shield is smashed or the defense is not complete, the consequences are not difficult to imagine.

In order to avoid the bombardment of the fortress, the Holy Mages were required to release spell attacks ten miles away.

But the spell released at this distance, even if it is the "Holy Light Burst" released by the eighth-level holy mage, after flying ten miles away, not to mention how much the accuracy will drop, how much power will remain?
What if the holy mages don't form a group to attack?
That's not even the opponent of the fortress opposite. There are 100 legendary mages in the fortress. Dealing with a small number of holy mages is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

Therefore, after nearly 2000 heavy casualties, the Saint Mage Corps had to be hidden by the snow.

As a cavalry unit, the Holy Knights are not suitable for attacking cities.

So you can only use the heads of ordinary soldiers to pile up and consume the opponent's weapons and ammunition!

But three months have passed, is this approach useful?
"My lord bishop, we can't go on like this! Even if our troops die, I'm afraid we won't be able to take down that fortress. It's time to dispatch the Paladins!" Hilbert said anxiously.

But Aubalkh still shook his head: "That's not how the Holy Knights are used. We haven't reached the Yadud Kingdom yet. Let's order the frontline troops to increase the attack. Send 5 people every day! Attack for ten days in a row! I guess The fort is almost failing, and their casualties are at least over half."

Half the casualties?
Hilbert was stunned, and quickly asked: "Master Bishop, who told you that the defenders in that fortress suffered more than half of the casualties? Who said that?"

"General Bannon told me." Obalhe said.

"Bannon? That incompetent idiot who only knows how to flatter?"

Hilbert muttered, and then said: "My lord, General Bannon is too optimistic. If you believe him, we will die millions more!"

He solemnly said: "Actually, the enemy casualties in that fortress were not more than 671%, or less than 7%. In the past three months, they have killed a total of [-] people! An average of [-] people died every day! "

"But we have to die more than 1 people every day! Calculated on the basis of 1428 people, for every unbelievers we kill, [-] people will die!"

"My lord bishop, if things go on like this, even if we fill in 1000 million people, we still won't be able to take down that fortress!"

Hilbert's mathematics is good, and he immediately calculated the exchange ratio between the enemy and the enemy. Finally, he knelt down on one knee and cried out in pain: "Master Bishop, please send out the Paladins!"

what?
Hearing Hilbert's words, Aubalkh was taken aback!
"They only killed 671 people, an average of seven deaths a day, and we die [-] people a day. This..."

How can this be? !
This exchange ratio is too ugly, isn't it?

Although there are countless believers in the Holy See of Light, and the number of troops that can be recruited is also unlimited, but it cannot withstand such consumption, right?

Tens of millions of people will die if a fortress with a garrison of [-] troops is taken down. What if there are more such fortresses?

Does the crowd tactics of the Holy See still work?
Thinking of this, Aubalkh couldn't help shivering, his confidence was shaken violently!

Of course, for that fortress, the defenders only had 671 deaths, and Aubalkh also had a slight doubt. It is impossible for the opponent to die so few people, right?How can this war go on if the opponent doesn't die with 5000 people?
However, Hilbert drew a reasonable conclusion based on his own observations on the front line, letters sent by his opponents, and statistics from various parties: the number of casualties of the defenders in that fortress never exceeded [-]%. !
The casualties of millions of people on one's own side are only exchanged for less than [-]% of the opponent's casualty rate.

Facing this iron-clad fact, Archbishop Aubalkh remained silent, and finally began to consider: should we use the Paladins?

In fact, there is another plan, which is to detour, avoid that fortress, detour for more than a thousand miles, and take other roads to attack the Yadude Kingdom... It only takes two more months.

However, a small fortress stopped millions of the Legion of Light. If the news got out, others would probably laugh out loud, and the Holy See of Light would not be ashamed of that!

In addition, if this fortress is not breached, future military operations will still be greatly affected and hindered. The nails will not be pulled out, the rear will be unstable, and the elimination of all rebellious unbelievers and god-rebels will become a big empty talk, making everyone ridicule!

Therefore, no matter what, the fortress in front must be completely removed!

Thinking of this, Aubalkh finally spoke:

"Proceed with the order, dispatch the Holy Mages and Holy Knights, at all costs! Step down the obstacles ahead!"
