Episode 10 Baruch Chapter 37 – The Power of the Magic Crystal Cannon

“Oh, denial?” Linley looked at this Watts suspiciously.

He thought that this suggestion was still relatively reasonable, the other party’s ranks were in disarray, and taking advantage of the chaos to take the initiative could indeed give the Illuminati and the Dark Clerics a blow to the head.

Watts respectfully replied, “Lord Linley, there are three main reasons why my subordinate negates this suggestion.”

Three more reasons?

Linley also admitted that for all aspects of war he himself was incapable, Linley listened carefully to this Watts’ reply.

“Firstly, the likelihood of this proposal being implemented successfully is not high. This is because there are also tens of miles from Korde County City to the Liuyan River. If we send an army over there, by the time we get to the other side. The other party’s men and horses crossing the river are estimated to be over a million. And some of the soldiers and horses have been restored to full strength.”

Barker shook his head and said, “Getting over a million people in position to be able to meet the battle at all times. It’s not an easy task.”

Watts nodded, “Indeed, I’m just saying that the other side should have some of their troops ready for battle. We have a total of half a million men, how many can we send out to sneak in? This is just the first point, the second point …… I believe that the commanders of the two parties, the Light Church and the Dark Church, will not make such a low level mistake.”

“If I were the other party’s commander.”

Watts smiled, “The first thing I would do is to send the elite team over first, and make a false impression of ‘chaos’ for the team crossing the river to attract the enemy to attack. When the enemy does come to attack, the elite team will immediately give the other side a headache.”

“Mind you, our greatest reliance is this fortified city!” Watts said in a proper voice, “With this city in place, if they want to kill one of us, we’re afraid that we’ve already killed three of them, and they’re just trying to lure us into fighting with them on the plains.”

Linley nodded approvingly.

Watts continued, “As for the third reason, this war. Tactics are secondary, strategy comes first, our goal is to defend the enemy outside of it and prevent them from breaking the city. This is the first point, as long as this is successful. We will have won this war.”

“So, we don’t need to pay attention to the ‘breakthroughs’ they reveal, who knows if they are done on purpose?”

Watts smiled faintly, “We only need to be in Cordshire City, relying on the city’s advantages, and defend it to the death. Without any surprises, the victory will be ours.”

The night passed and the sky dawned.

The black-robed Archbishop ‘Vespert’ rode a Dark Demon Tiger and looked in the direction of Corde County City from afar.

“Gilmer. I have a feeling that in this war, I’m afraid we’re going to have a grueling fight.” Vespert frowned, “I’ve already slowed down the speed at which we crossed the river as much as possible, and the opposite team also looks ‘chaotic’, but it’s as if this Corde County City didn’t realize it. It didn’t send anyone over to attack at all.”

Gilmer nodded.

They had long prepared a big meal and waited for the incoming enemy. Unfortunately, it failed.

The army had now all crossed the river and had rested for the whole night. Now it was heading towards the city of Cordshire at a steady pace. The Dark Cleric and Light Cleric sides had each gathered eight hundred thousand troops this time. Adding up to a whole 1.6 million troops. Such a terrifying army was spread across the sky that one could not see the end of it at a glance.

“I’m not afraid that the commander of Linley’s side is clever and cunning, I’m afraid that he’s cowering in that city like a turtle.” Vespert said.

Gilmer nodded as well.

Relying on the advantage of the city, even if they were able to break through the Cordage County City. I’m afraid that the losses of both of them would also be extremely high. Although they had a million and six hundred thousand troops, they were not willing to waste a large number of lives.

“Vespert.” Gilmer inquired. “Then what should we do?”

The chief commander of this battle was naturally the duo of Gilmer and Vespert. However, in terms of scheming, Gilmer was still weaker than Vespert. Visport smiled faintly, “There’s no other way, now let’s go and explore the other side’s reality first.”

Know your enemy and know yourself. Only then can we fight a hundred battles without danger.

……

The entire Korde County City had become a huge soldier city, and all the residents had been relocated long ago. A large number of houses have been remodeled, and a large number of soldiers have gathered on the walls of the South City and the East City …… while the number of soldiers on the walls of the West City and the North City are much sparser.

All sorts of implements had been transported to the city towers.

Linley and Barker were both wearing armor and pretending to be officers as they walked on the citadel of South City, which was in full swing, and the walls that stretched for dozens of miles were filled with people, and the number of soldiers on the walls of this South City alone exceeded as many as 100,000 people.

“So many people.” Linley and Barker looked into the distance.

As if densely packed like locusts, the one million and six hundred thousand troops of the Illuminati and the Dark Clerics covered the land and were continuously surging towards Cordage County City. A million and six hundred thousand! It was easy to say, but when so many people formed an army over.

Hearts trembled!

Even Linley felt that heavy oppression.

“I don’t know how many people are going to die in this battle.” Barker sighed in a low voice.

Linley looked at the densely packed soldiers on the city walls, and he also felt that this war was indeed brutal enough, but ever since human society had existed, this war hadn’t stopped. Although Linley and the others had seen the armies of the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness, in reality, the armies were far away from Linley and the others.

In reality, that army was still a long way away from Linley and the others.

It was just that this army on the other side was so huge, so far away that the soldiers on the city walls saw it.

“Let’s go over to Watts, he’s the commander, no matter what, no accidents.” Linley brought Barker with him to the city tower above the main gate of this southern city, that Watts was inside a small, inconspicuous corner building next to this city tower.

Watts immediately saluted when he saw Linley and Barker come.

“Watts, Lord Linley and I have come here to ensure your safety.” Barker laughed.

Watts, no matter how composed he was, looked a little agitated. Linley laughed, “Alright, you’d better focus on preparing to meet the enemy… any countermeasures to deal with this army of over a million?” Linley himself felt confused.

Watts laughed, “There’s no rush, whatever tactics they use, we’ll deal with them accordingly.”

“When do you estimate they’ll attack?” Barker inquired.

“They’ve just crossed the river

When they did, they didn’t rush to march but rested and waited for dawn before marching. In about an hour they should be under the city. Before noon, there should be the first wave of attack.” Watts smiled faintly.

“The first wave, shouldn’t be too strong, tentative mainly. How are you going to deal with it?” Buck inquired.

“Magic crystal cannons.”

Watts replied.

“Magic Crystal Cannon as soon as it comes?” Barker frowned, this magic crystal cannon was a killer weapon, it should be better to use it at a critical moment. Watts, on the other hand, affirmed, “Please don’t worry, Lord Marshal, feel free to enjoy it from the side. When the time comes, you will naturally understand.”

“You’re still pretending to be mysterious with me?” Buck shook his head and laughed.

Linley, on the other hand, sat quietly on the side, leaving this war aspect to these capable hands. When a long time had passed …… Linley’s eyes suddenly opened and he said to Watts, “Prepare to begin, that Light Cleric and Dark Cleric sides have already sent out two advance parties, preparing to attack.”

Watts looked at Linley in amazement.

Linley, however, didn’t say much, although he hadn’t exerted his soulforce to search, but with Linley’s comprehension of the elemental laws of wind, even thousands of meters away. If Linley had the presence of mind to feel it, he would still be able to clearly sense it.

“My lord, two enemy divisions of 20,000 men each are directly attacking towards our city gates.” An officer immediately ran in.

Although the city walls stretched for dozens of miles, the core of a general attack was still here at the city gates.

Watts gave Linley a look of respect, then immediately ordered, “Follow the original plan. Ten magic crystal cannons at the ready, give our guests a ‘meet and greet’.” Watts said with a faint smile, and there was a hint of excitement in that officer’s eyes, “Yes, my lord.”

“Go. Let’s go take a look.” Linley rose.

On the city floor, Linley and Barker looked downwards, only to see that a large number of people from the two divisions had immediately rushed over. Compared to a million and six hundred thousand people, forty thousand people didn’t seem like much. However, these forty thousand people rushing over still had the feeling of a sea of people.

“Kill–”

The tens of thousands of people below held up their shields. Armed with weapons, they rushed towards the city gates, their ground roars sounding like thunder. Some of the soldiers rushed over with huge ladders, and these ladder-carrying soldiers were most worried about the arrows coming from the city walls with bows and arrows.

However, to their surprise. No bows and arrows were shot.

“Shoot!” A furious shout rang out.

The magic marks on the body of those ten magic crystal cannons lit up almost simultaneously, terrifying elemental energies were brewing, and then, the magic crystal cannons let out a terrifying roar, and the ten balls of light blasted into the opposing legion’s camp almost one after the other.

“Magic Crystal Cannon!” A fearful voice rang out.

After one of the fiery red ball of light fell, several soldiers at the place of this fall were instantly transformed into burnt, as for the fiery red ball of light fell to the ground, it immediately transformed into a flaming ‘circle’, this flaming circle began to expand, as if the ripples of the water surface swung away in all directions, wherever this flaming circle rippled to the ground soldiers immediately screamed miserably, the whole person was burnt alive! immediately screamed miserably and were burned alive.

Fire magic – Blazing Ring of Fire!

In just one shot, more than a hundred people died.

As the greenish-white ball of light fell, the few soldiers that were covered were immediately frozen and then turned into smithereens. And this greenish-white light mass violently burst apart after it landed, unexpectedly turning into thousands of terrifyingly sharp arrows that shot in all directions. “Snort–” many soldiers’ bodies were directly penetrated, and under this cannon blast, there were screams of misery all around that area.

Water magic – Raging Sea Arrow Rain!

……

Different types of Magic Crystal Cannons, different attributes of Magic Crystal Stones, caused this Magic Crystal Cannon to exhibit different power. However, there was no doubt that with just the first strike of these ten magic crystal cannons, more than a thousand people died. Even more were injured.

However, immediately afterward, the magic crystal cannons lit up again.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” ……

Almost connected, ten magic crystal cannons blasted out almost simultaneously, or were burned by flames, or shot by ice arrows, or corroded to death, or electrocuted by thunderbolts …… Ten magic crystal cannons blasted out against the two divisions, and it was absolute doom for these two divisions.

The two of them, Vespert and Gilmer, were together.

“My lord.” An officer reported respectfully, “The two divisions that attacked the first wave of the south city gate have already retreated, and one division from the east city gate has also retreated. We found that there are ten magic crystal cannons on the south city wall. And there are five magic crystal cannons on the east gate wall. These magic crystal cannons all belong to large magic crystal cannons, with magic power close to level eight magic.”

Gilmer coldly grunted, “I was most worried that they had magic crystal cannons, but I didn’t expect that they really did! They are also all large magic crystal cannons, who sold them?”

Vespert smiled faintly, “That’s not our concern now, it’s in our expectation that they have magic crystal cannons, but since there are only five magic crystal cannons on that east gate wall, in this way, tomorrow, we will launch the first wave of the official general attack.”

“A general attack?” Gilmer looked towards Vespert.

Vespert nodded and said, “Yes, we’ll ostensibly focus on attacking the south city gate. At the same time, we send a small portion of men to attack the east city gate. However, this small portion of men must be the elite teams from both of our sides.” Vespert said forcefully.

“Vespert, what do you mean?” Gilmer looked at him, “Focus on attacking the east city gate?”

This ratio of men and horses didn’t mean which side was more powerful. Sending two elite teams, I’m afraid that the attack power of 100,000 people would be even more terrifying than the 400,000 of an ordinary standing army team.

“This is just a matter of deceiving our ground opponents. One hundred thousand elite teams attacking hard in one breath, if that east city isn’t too prepared, maybe we can attack in one breath.” Vespert said confidently.

Gilmer laughed, “If I were the opponent’s commander and saw that you had over a million troops outside the south city gates. Just sending 100,000 men to attack the east gate. I guess the attention would be focused on the south city gate as well.”
