How to wear a goddess statue

To deal with a heavy city like Digbia, if you want to forcefully attack it, you must pay a heavy price-just like Sanur before.

They quickly captured the city within a few days, not only taking advantage of the defenders' unpreparedness, but also filling the road with flesh and blood, causing countless losses.

There is also Kasne in the south, and rebellion may break out in the territory, so Solancia naturally cannot squander its troops like this.

Apart from storming, the best way is to besiege the city, cut off the transportation routes of food, grass and armaments, and wait for the opponent to run out of ammunition and food, and can only choose to surrender or be trapped to death.

But when the opponent is Sanur, the decision to siege the city will be particularly cruel.

Everyone knows what is included in the food list of the Sanur tribe. If the besieged city runs out of food, the other party can rely on this feature to last longer. When the Solan army retakes Tigbia, what they see may be an empty city.

In other words, it is no different from letting the Sanurians massacre the city.

Attack or siege, in this situation, has become a difficult multiple choice question.

The generals were arguing aside, but Eleuil did not participate.

In front of her, there were three dark brown papers full of patterns.

One is the topographic map provided by the defenders of Sutton City, the other is the layout of troops in the city drawn by Ahino with his memory, and the last one is different from the previous two. This is a more precise and detailed drawing of the city defense fortifications .

The self-respect of the border guards has always been a worrying issue for the kings of Sauran in all dynasties.

The stronger the city wall of Digbia was built, the harder it would be for foreigners to capture it. On the contrary, if the army stationed here rebelled, it would be harder for the anti-insurgency army from the royal city to break through the city.

When designing and building the fortifications of the city of Digbia, the incumbent King Solan thought of an idea-he asked the architect to leave a defense gap that was not easy to be discovered.

Secret passages or weak points, as long as they are built secretly, even the defenders who will be stationed here in the future will not know.

This idea really came true, and the architect tried his best to meet this requirement. As a result, after the city wall was built and it was confirmed that there was no problem, the Soran king mercilessly sent him to see the god of death.

Cruel and ruthless, it can be described as a model of killing donkeys, but this does make the secret road of Digbia a secret known only to the royal family, and even the previous defenders have not discovered it.

But now, this blueprint marked with secret passages is placed in front of Eleuil, and she found it in the dark layer of Horst's desk.

The question is, what can a secret passage do?

It would have a miraculous effect if it was used to break through and evacuate. For example, Horst, he escaped from the king's city by the secret passage in the bedroom, and he didn't know where to jump at the moment.

But if it is to attack the city, it is impossible for all the troops to pass through such a narrow and secret passage.

If there are too many people, it will attract the attention of the Sanur defenders, and they will cut one at the exit;

The number of people is small and it can't play its due role. Is it possible to expect these tens of hundreds of people to swarm up and defeat the heavy soldiers at the gate of the city, so that they can open the gate and enlarge the troops to come in?

Aleuil stared at the blueprint, not moving for a long time.

Suddenly, the princess raised her hand and tapped her forehead, just like the usual action of some priests and scribes when they were thinking.

Under normal circumstances, Eleuil's subconscious movements when she was thinking were far from so great. When Rhodes saw her, he guessed that she had something to say, so he floated over.

"What did you think of?"

Eleuil: "Assassination."

The tone is as light as a cloud, only Rhodes can hear it.

Rhodes repeated this short word, looked down at the blueprint: "...you want to assassinate Prince Sanur?"

Prince Sanur, especially the one shrunk in the city of Digbia.

Of the ten sons of Harmonge, one was killed in a night attack on the Sutton City barracks, and one was killed in a duel outside the city. Seven of them were targeted on the battlefield—in fact, even if Aleuil was excellent at archery, It is also impossible to shoot these guys through heavy defenses, and there is not much protection around them. It can be seen that Prince Lengtouqing has not been on the battlefield a few times.

In the end, of the two who escaped, one withdrew back to Digbia, and the other fled abroad.

The latter has nothing to do with him for the time being, but the former is different.

Rhodes observed the expression of the princess again, and found that she was actually very serious.

"Thanks to Horst, I have been assassinated since I was a child, and I have never experienced what it feels like to assassinate others." Aleuil made a voice of emotion, "Isn't this a very suitable opportunity?"

It is very suitable to have a secret passage and know the layout of the city defense.

But who has ever seen the Lord assassinate Himself?

If there is a mistake in the plan, it will not be Sanur who loses the leader and leaderless, but Solancia!

Aleuil didn't insist, and settled for the next best thing: "Then change the method, as long as it can make them mess up."

She looked at Rhodes and blinked.

Rhodes: "...?"

During the daytime of the second day, a group of blue herons flew over Tigbia.

Flying further north in this season is somewhat against their migratory habits, but the Sanur people don't know that there has never been such a water-living bird in the place where they live.

"What kind of bird is this?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it."

"But it looks edible."

The ones who were talking were the infantry guarding the city wall. They did not participate in yesterday's cavalry melee. They were guarding here from beginning to end, watching the battle nervously.

Although I don't know the blue heron, but this kind of large bird can always be eaten, right?

If the Solan people were to besiege the city next, the more food the better, with this in mind, a soldier drew his bow and shot an arrow at the birds in the sky.

They missed the shot, and these large birds flew higher than expected. Before the Sanur soldiers regretted it, the blue herons responded.

These beautiful and big water birds flapped their wings and uttered high-pitched calls to the Sanur people, as if extremely angry, and then flew higher and farther away, and soon disappeared.

Some Sanur people don't know what it is, but the people of Solan know!

The messenger of the goddess Iru, the water spirit, was offended by the arrows of these aliens.

Somehow, rumors spread among the Sanur army too: that invaders offended the messengers of the river goddess and tried to hunt them down, which would arouse the wrath of the god, who would inflict punishment on the offender.

At first, not many people took it seriously, but that night, someone in the barracks died strangely.

The state of death was very miserable. The strange thing is that his corpse seemed to have been sacrificed. His head was chopped off, his heart was dug out, and the blood flowed out, condensing into strange symbols on the ground beside him.

And so new rumors spread again, and it was believed that revenge had begun and would not stop until the gods were appeased.

Prince Sanur stayed in the city, and before he could catch his breath, he heard these whispering rumors, and immediately arrested and questioned the local civilians who spread the rumors, but the answer he got was only the word "God's Wrath".

The despondent prince climbed up the city wall to refute the rumors.

"The blue heron doesn't possess mysterious power. The vulture eagle in the field is the king of all birds. It is the manifestation of the power of the gods and the companion of the great wolf god!"

"There is no revenge from alien gods, this must be the Solan people playing tricks!"

However, this cannot explain the cause of the soldier's death. The city of Digbia is strictly guarded, and it is impossible for the other party to send people in.

Prince Sanur suspected that the soldier who was killed had an enemy within the ethnic group, and the enemy took the opportunity to kill him, and then pushed it to God for punishment.

That night, the same events repeated themselves.

This time the situation was more serious, and more people died, and the soldiers living in the nearby camp did not hear the slightest movement, as if—as if it was really a silent wrath of the gods.

Prince Sanur had no choice but to carry out small sacrificial ceremonies during the day, praying to the wolf god and the vulture god for help, expelling the mysterious power of the alien race, and protecting the race.

This high-expected sacrifice did not have any effect. After several days of going back and forth like this, the Sanur army was in a state of chaos.

Why does death continue?

Why didn't the great wolf god stop the enemy heretic gods?

Why can't we stop the bizarre death even if we intensify the inspections, even if we stay up all night?

If it is said that the Solan people pretended to be gods and ghosts through some means, and it can be explained by cutting off the head and digging out the heart, what about the symbols made of blood?

That doesn't look like a human being can do it at all!

In such an atmosphere of terror, the Sanur tribe, which lacked a strong leader, began to become chaotic.

Those soldiers who followed the prince back to the city but did not belong to the forces under his control, as well as soldiers from other tribes, were the first group of people to cause chaos.

Some people even tried to escape from the city privately, and were executed immediately after being caught. The original intention was to deter soldiers who had the same idea, but it made more people's minds flutter.

Finally, Solancia began to attack the city.

Fighting against the visible and tangible Solan army relieved the Sanur people, but they lost their trust in the prince and did not have a unified command to serve the people. Coupled with the instability of the army, the strength of the city defense Like a plate of loose sand.

When the Solan soldiers who entered the city from the secret passage appeared before him, Prince Sanur opened his bloodshot eyes wide, and finally realized that what happened these days was not God's punishment, but man-made disaster.

Unlike his eldest brother, this prince didn't speak the language of Solancia very well. He muttered something in a shocked tone, and then charged forward with a machete, slashing and killing Solan soldiers frantically.

This was his last struggle, because the next moment, the long sword fell from behind, splitting his back.

Prince Sanur made a last effort to turn back.

In the blurred vision, there is only a pair of golden eyes shining like the sun, shining brightly.

Under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, the gate of Digbia was broken.

The Solancian army poured into the city gate, fighting fiercely in the streets and alleys.

The battle did not last long, and the Sanur people quickly fled to the other side of the city gate. Although a small number of them were intercepted and killed by the Solan soldiers who blocked there, more people fled on horses, just like the other side a few days ago. Like a cavalry team led by a prince, they escaped from the territory of Solancia and fled to the wilderness.

No army can chase into the wilderness. Only Sanur people are familiar with the highland grassland. As long as they return to their own territory, they will be safe.

When the Sanur riders escaped beyond the range of their bows and arrows, Eleuil reined in his horses and motioned for the pursuers to return to the city.

In this incident, Luo Dasi actively provided the bloody symbol to pretend to be a ghost, but otherwise watched the whole process.

She looked back at the Sanur cavalrymen who were rushing away: "Will these people come again?"

It's not easy to say that they are deserters, but if you really want to describe the opponent's actions, they are closer to breaking out. They have retained the main force in the city, and most of them successfully broke through.

The reason why he did not continue to resist may be that he found that Prince Sanur was dead and had no intention of fighting, or it may be that he was afraid of the so-called divine punishment and felt more at ease returning to his homeland first.

Aleuil nodded: "Yes, but at least for a short period of time, Sanur dare not take any more actions."

The highland wilderness is their natural umbrella, no matter how harsh the environment, these Sanur people can always recover.

The last son of Harmonger would be the pole of their assembly, and then, like wolves in the night, would continue to spy on the frontier, waiting to return.

Sanur is annoying here.

As Eleuil spoke, his expression could be called happy.

Rhodes watched her silently.

The princess said slowly: "I just have an idea, I have time to ask Ahino... But even if it comes true, it will be after Kasner is no longer a threat."

Luotus said quietly: "Don't talk about your thoughts, why don't you look at the left shoulder and think about these things."

Eleuil heard the sound and looked.

I saw the armor under the shoulder split, and a small stream of blood gushed out of the crack, probably the wound left by a Sanurian who fought desperately.

It didn't hurt too much, so the princess didn't care, and chased out of the city gate for a mile with the wound.

At this moment, when Rhodes pointed it out, Ailu Yidun nodded and lowered his eyes: "It hurts so much, I need to be bandaged."

Rhodes: "..."

I should put away the smile on my face before talking about the pain!
