Rise of the Plants

"Hey, I really don't know why we came to attack Red Stone City. Isn't life over there in Hongsha Ridge very good? Who are we going to rescue?" A group of soldiers looked at the city wall in front of them, confused.

A recruit next to him said loudly: "Of course we must save us humans. How can humans be ruled by half-elves? We must save our compatriots." Another brainwashed guy.

The previous soldier ignored him and said to the others: "Besides, Hongsha Ridge is not that easy to attack. I heard that most of the weapons we used came from Hongsha Ridge. I'm worried that this will If the fight continues, we are no match at all." The soldier looked melancholy.

"Don't be stupid, the people above won't care about us. We can only pray for victory in the war. If we lose, haha..."

At this time, the leader of the team also came over: "Don't think nonsense, our weapons are indeed made by Hongshaling, no, to be exact, they are made by Lord Chinan. If Lord Chinan is here, we The weapon will be ineffective immediately, but he is not here now."

"Then where is he?" the young soldier asked curiously.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. This is not our business." The officer said angrily.

"Boss, just tell us. We can't say this, but there is always something we can say. For example, why we attacked Hongshaling." The soldiers still couldn't figure out the reason.

The captain sneered: "Why? Of course it's for the golden dragon and power. As long as we conquer the Red Sand Ridge and get all the materials in the Red Sand Ridge, then the nobles will have money and strength, and there will be no need to be afraid of anyone." ." In the face of interests, any covenant or friendship, everything is fake.

Seeing those soldiers who couldn't understand, the captain shook his head and ignored them. Thinking back to the beginning, I was just like them. I followed what was said above and had a progressive heart.

"Quick, quick, it's your turn, don't hold back." Suddenly, a herald came running from a distance.

The soldiers quickly stood up and ran to the predetermined position. In the past few days, this kind of offensive and defensive battles have been experienced many times.

First, the cannons fired at each other, and then people using old-fashioned pea cannons rushed up and launched a volley attack. Some of the people who stayed on the city wall attacked them with fourth-generation pea cannons.

After leaving a large number of corpses, they also consumed a large number of pea cannon bullets from the opposite side. Then, under the protection of the shield, the attackers equipped with the new pea cannons approached and fired at the people on the city wall.

Then, their artillery slowly approached under cover and continuously attacked the interior of the city. In the past few days, no one knew how many people had been killed in Red Rock City because of their attacks.

Because of their attack, even Remas's business came to a standstill. Under this situation, not a single noble came out to object. If you still can't figure this out, then the officials of Hongshaling are idiots.

Because Hongshaling has a system of council management by officials, the response speed is very fast. Before the siege was formed, most of the nearby civilians had been evacuated, and now it has finally entered a state of war.

Inside the city, countless soldiers and civilians were busy, constantly moving things. "Hmph, we can finally use it. Let those idiots see our power."

Following the general's order inside the city, the pneumatic cannon was activated again. This time, the fired shells turned into red shells. The shells rose into the air and fell into the crowd, spraying kerosene and igniting fires. The soldiers at the front kept struggling and running around with their bodies covered in flames, igniting the flames on more people.

The neat shield formation was suddenly broken. Even some of the pneumatic cannons that were approaching were retreating under the impact of the flames. But in front of the cannon, a large shield was erected, blocking a large amount of flames.

"Fire bombs, you damn half-elf, you have such a powerful weapon and you don't even sell it to us, otherwise we would have captured Red Rock City by now." A figure said with gritted teeth as he looked at the front line.

If someone heard such shameless words, they would probably be stunned. The invaders who couldn't beat them actually blamed the invaded for not selling them good weapons. It's just that some people's logic is destined to be different from ordinary people. "Retreat, that's it for today, the harassment continues, don't let them stop."

It is really satisfying to think that the people from Hongsha Ridge have harassed me and now they can finally take revenge.

"Others' supplies must also be caught up quickly. If I want this Baron to take the lead, there is no benefit. We don't have too many soldiers. Are the soldiers from other territories in place?"

A figure from behind said cautiously: "A large number of elite refugees from other territories have recently joined our army and have adapted to the current rhythm of war."

Yes, they were elite refugees, he didn't dare to say anything else. The leader said with disdain: "Isn't it just an army? It's really boring to do so many tricks. When the Red Sand Ridge is destroyed, what will happen even if the half-elf comes back? What will happen even if he knows it? Like this, now that the empire is in chaos, who will take care of us?"

Everyone knows in their hearts that those refugees are actually troops. They just come here pretending to be refugees, and then they are led, then armed, and then "trained" again into an elite army.

But it’s not good to say it directly like this. The man behind him lowered his head as if I didn't hear anything.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of this and that. What's the use of you? Hurry up and discuss with the people below how to deal with those damn kerosene bombs." They already knew about the kerosene bombs. exist.

It's just that these special artillery shells, because Chi Nan was worried that they would be too powerful and would threaten him, so he had no intention of selling them before upgrading them. I didn’t expect that it would play such a big role today.

Kerosene bombs are a powerful weapon for siege. If they also had kerosene bombs, it might not be possible for Red Rock City to be able to withstand the first siege. The interior and exterior of Red Stone City are all made of wood. Except for the treated hardwood of the city walls, other wood is not fireproof. Ordinary flames have nothing to do with it, but kerosene bombs may not be able to block it.

Soon, plans were created one after another, and then sent to the army for discussion again. But none of them knew that Chi Nan, who was far away on the western front line of the empire, was returning quickly in a way they could not imagine.
