Chapter 1061 -652: The True Face of the Commander_1
Under the city walls, the air was filled with boiling energy particles.
With the sudden bombardment of the magic cannons, wave after wave of sharp magic shockwaves, like a violent hurricane, swept furiously towards the heavy infantry and longbowmen positioned at the rear.
The unsuspecting siege soldiers had no time to react and were torn into the vortex’s center.
Of course, even if they reacted in advance, it would be of no avail.
In the face of the magic power unleashed by the magic cannons, far stronger than ordinary mages.
The ordinary heavy armor on the knights and even the magic-resistant heavy shields in their hands provided almost no defense, being instantly reduced to a mass of broken iron by the overwhelming force.
The longbowmen, who wore only leather armor, were even more like dead leaves in a storm, being blown away and even disintegrating in mid-air, just like the wildflowers and grasses they had just trampled on.
As everything happened in a flash, the soldiers’ faces still had traces of greed and arrogance for the treasures within the city, but it was forever frozen in the roar of the magic cannons.
Under Leo Ray’s command, to preserve their strength, Cyan Town’s magic cannons fired only ordinary Tier 1 shots, yet it still achieved the desired effect.
“During the Mountain Fortress defense battle, although I also provided a large number of magic cannons, I had repeatedly told Lord White to keep the secret, only saying that it was secretly returned by the Third Princess of the Unfallen Fortress.”
Feeling the energy fluctuations from the city below, Leo Ray continued to think: “In this way, we can both deter the Saint Night Army and preserve our strength to the maximum extent. After all, no one would believe that the weak Ariel could produce so many magic cannons.”
“With the princes’ attitudes, they naturally wouldn’t seek verification from Ariel’s sister, Coldflame’s Third Princess who guarded the Invincible Northern Fortress. They would rather see this trouble and Ariel disappear.”
With this in mind, Leo Ray brought his thoughts back to reality and focused on the present situation.
Under the fierce attack, the headless siege soldiers under the city walls almost had no power to fight back. The scattered counterattack arrows were mostly blocked by our front-row heavy infantry.
Meanwhile, on the city walls, our archers continued to pour down dense arrow rain and the magic cannons blocked the enemy soldiers’ escape route.
For a while, wails and curses were incessant, but they were soon drowned out by the roar of the magic cannons.
Thus, being attacked from both sides, the battlefield under the city walls soon became quiet again.
At this time, the smoke that filled the Cyan Town city walls had dispersed. Only the rising smoke from the burning gunpowder could be seen.
“Reporting to Lord, the vanguard legion of the Great Prince’s main force has been annihilated!”
After a brief period, Rhizoma Drynariae reappeared in front of Leo Ray, bowing excitedly and reporting: “Originally, three cavalry corps of another cavalry legion were also eager to move nearby, but seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately fled.”
“It was expected.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly, walked out of the arrow tower, and looked at the many soldiers injured by stray arrows. “Alright, let’s hurry up and treat the wounded first.”
“Understood, Lord. As for the specific battle results, they are being further counted!”
As the crisp sound of armor collision sounded, Rhizoma Drynariae saluted and hurriedly went to work.
Leaving Joshua to supervise the treatment, Leo Ray and his party immediately returned to the City Lord Mansion in the city center.
According to the battle reports that followed, Leo Ray learned further details.
In the north of Cyan Town, on the side of the city wall where the opponents were active, more than 5,000 siege soldiers were almost wiped out, leaving only a few scattered remnants who escaped by a fluke under the magic cannons’ coverage.
As for the other three city walls, a total of over 5,000 soldiers were mostly wiped out, with a small part of about 1,000 soldiers eventually becoming our captives.
“Very good, there’s no need to execute those captives. Imprison them all in the dungeon, guarded by heavy troops, and provide enough food and drink. The huge dungeon built by the former city lord hasn’t been put to use yet.”
In the City Lord Mansion’s castle hall, Leo Ray, sitting on his throne, pondered and ordered after hearing the reports from Burt, Rhizoma Drynariae, Linda, and Mason Banks: “After the war, I want to release all these soldiers and give them enough Gold Dragon coins.”
“As expected of Lord! In this way, once we control Vilun City and Zem Town in the future, we won’t arouse too much hostility, and these released soldiers will undoubtedly be the best propaganda!”
Ariel’s eyes lit up, and she said cheerfully, “Even the free farmers at the bottom rung will fully support us!”
“Indeed, the cost of dissolving hatred for us is far less than creating new hatred.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “Ariel, you’re in charge of appeasing these soldiers. Let them feel the generosity and tolerance of you, Princess Cold Flame. It’s also a crucial part of our plan.”
