In order to successfully build the siege equipment, when they were about to approach the city wall of the royal capital, the man specifically ordered the entire army to slow down and rest in the surrounding area, build a camp, cut down surrounding trees, and assemble parts.
When the man lived in the Royal Capital for several years, he observed the terrain of the Royal Capital and clearly remembered that there were several high hills near the Royal Capital, covered with woods.
After the scout's report was confirmed, the man decisively stationed himself on that mountain and hoarded enough food and grass by harvesting the granaries and money of the nobles along the way.
As for the water source, the royal capital was originally built near several rivers, otherwise it would have been difficult to develop to such a large scale. The man stationed more than 500 people on the upper reaches of the river. He was very familiar with this routine. When Ailan Biyin expanded , in order to avoid the loss of storming castles, legions would often force the enemy to surrender by cutting off and holding on to water sources.
The camp was not built on the top of a mountain, but on a gentle half-slope to the north, which happened to be aligned with the shortest southern city wall of the royal capital.
During the day, the city-state legions did not set up tents. This was to prevent the enemy from noticing their arrival, because the groups of tents were too conspicuous.
After the city-state army firmly built its skeleton, under the man's order and personal supervision, they worked non-stop to cut down trees and build siege equipment.
At this time, the more than fifty craftsmen accompanying the army played a huge role. Although the march was fast and the road was long and bumpy, the craftsmen made carriages, and the food was not only guaranteed first, but also the best among all, with only more than one After an hour's rest, these young and experienced craftsmen raised their morale.
Timbers, bolts, nails and various tools kicked up dust. In the camp where sawdust was flying, craftsmen and military servants processed sections of logs and measured the height to avoid being too high or too short.
Due to sufficient preparation and reasonable scheduling in advance, the two ladders were set up before nightfall. They were set up on the west-south side of the hill. This was all to hide the enemy's eyes and ears.
Before nightfall, with the dim light of dusk, the soldiers took action and put up the tents on the skeleton. There was no chaos among the thousands of city-state legions, and everything went on in an orderly manner.
The dusk was about to go away. A man stood on a high rock on a mountain peak and picked up a lookout tube to observe the situation in the royal capital. Everything in the royal capital was as before. All kinds of slaves were wandering on the streets. At this time, they were preparing for the curfew. The guards drove them away. In the center of the royal capital There are several tall and majestic mansions, as well as a majestic palace that leans on high walls and clings to the terrain. There are singing and dancing, and the lights are bright, so dazzling, even if the rest is dark.
The defense of the royal capital was relaxed. The man did not see the movement of large-scale slave soldiers, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the king had not noticed the movement here, and the defeated warrior had not yet had time to reach the throne of the palace.
The man saw the towering white tower in the north of the royal capital, near the city wall. It had been built two-thirds of its height, and was getting closer and closer to the mantle. It was unknown how many times the tower had been built. The man thought of the giant worm beast. , if it continues to be built, it will emerge from the ground soon, knock down the giant tower, and feast on the sacrificed slaves.
"But this time the city-state army will knock down the giant tower first and completely destroy it. It will never be built again." The man said to himself.
At night, it is forbidden to light braziers in the entire legion camp, and soldiers must stay quietly in their tents. Only soldiers on night watch are allowed to wear torches.
On the other side of the hill, the construction of siege equipment did not stop. The craftsmen used a small number of torches for lighting and began to build counterweight trebuchets overnight. Time was very tight and they had to work all night.
Cassel and the men who inspected the place said that the craftsmen were more energetic than during the day.
Soon, the night was over. The soldiers set out at dawn to remove the leather from the tents. Half an hour later, only nearly a thousand bare skeletons were left in the entire camp.
The craftsmen were still working hard. The man personally went to inspect their camp. More than fifty craftsmen worked all day and night, but only two of them couldn't hold on any longer and temporarily left to rest.
"How long will the trebuchet last?" the man asked the leader of the craftsmen.
"It may take another day." The leader of the craftsmen said, grabbing the hammer.
"Then the attack will have to wait for another day..." the man murmured.
However, the leader of the craftsmen looked back at the craftsmen behind him, then turned around and smiled: "Consul, since you are here to supervise in person, it may only take half a day."
The man's eyes lit up and he looked up at the craftsmen who were working hard. Because of his arrival, they were more energetic and faster.
In the afternoon, the counterweight trebuchet was finally built.
The man immediately ordered the ladder and counterweight trebuchet to be transported down the hill to the designated location.
Cassel, Keck and others also started to take action. They mobilized more than 7,000 people from the entire city-state army, each wearing armor and weapons, and gathered at the foot of the hillside.
A man rides a war horse.
The entire city-state army has more than 7,000 people, ready to go. The men are walking from west to east, from the beginning to the end of the army, looking at the resolute faces with one after another. Profuse sweat.
The man raised his voice for this crucial pre-war speech, which may also be his last.
In the name of the Lord and the city-state of Aylan Biyin, he first stated the goal of the army, which was to break through the city wall and then attack the palace as quickly as possible, thereby occupying the entire royal capital.
Then, the man personally handed the battle flag to several leading officers. The golden flag spikes swayed in the wind, along with the long sword symbolizing command authority. Then, the man explained that after this battle, everyone's salary would be tripled, and the spoils from the nobles' warehouses in the royal capital would be distributed to everyone, which caused the entire legion to cheer in unison.
Finally, the man pulled the reins of the war horse and raised its head toward the capital.
"All soldiers.
Remember what I told you? When we step into the courts of nobles, they will judge us by the old law, driving us to build that tower, to build statues of slave heroes, to oppress ourselves and oppress others.
They want to put shackles on us! Enslave us and teach us to submit!
I want to say,
At this moment we raise the sword, this is also a trial.
It is the judgment of the Lord of salvation on suffering,
It is conscience and righteousness, judgment against oppression,
Come forward!
Calling for blood with blood,
Call for liberation with the sword!
We will come out of hell and cut off all the chains! "
At the foot of the hillside, all the citizens roared in unison. The united voice was overwhelming and enough to shake the heaven and the earth. There is endless power behind these extremely high voices.
From the city-state of Alambiin to under the walls of the royal capital, in the six hundred and seventy-five kingdoms, from old law to new law, from old faith to new faith, from suffering to salvation...
Almost everyone is united under the banner of this man who has experienced all the suffering in the world.
These saved people,
These people who have not lost hope,
We are united in calling for liberation.
The boy who once cried while hugging the candlestick is no longer alone and will never be alone.
