Unfortunately, no matter how outstanding Bifano was, he wasn't even one-tenth as good as Rex. It was Rex who wanted to take down the castle, but now it was Bifano begging her.
After all, Rex would definitely have to cross the Redwater River on her way back. This was the most convenient route. There were many uncertainties downstream. Destroying the stone statue castle, obtaining the alchemy mold inside, and opening up an escape route at the same time. In the end, Bifano would have to pay the price.
No matter how she thought about it, this was a good deal.
There would be large amounts of food in the warehouses of the two cities. Once the war started, it would be difficult to buy food. Kushui Commandery was fine. It was remote and couldn't be affected by the war. They could rely on the surrounding land to be self-sufficient. Metatlin City couldn't. It was surrounded by wilderness. It would take two to three years to be suitable for farming.
"Give me fifty men of sacrifice." Rex looked at the blueprint and asked Bifano. Bifano didn't hesitate. He nodded and agreed.
"All horses and soldiers, put on heavy armor. When I break the gate, we'll rush in. These fifty men of sacrifice will protect the chariot and attack here. " Rex pointed at the center of the stone statue castle. There was a magnificent building there. Mages and gargoyles were gathered there. Although there weren't any level-six Mages, Rex didn't know the exact number of gargoyles. She needed the men of sacrifice to open up a path for her Mages.
Only by killing the Mages controlling the gargoyles could they stop. This building was Rex's target. It was below the building and also the entrance to the old castle. The alchemy lab was below.
Bifano knew why Rex wanted the men of sacrifice. He called over fifty shield bearers. Rex took out armor and put it on for the fifty shield bearers. She'd robbed the armor from Dragon Tooth Town. It had been soaked in dragon blood and could barely be considered magic armor. It was very strong against low-level magic.
Every shield bearer changed to a scimitar made by Salin. This scimitar had reverse serrations and was the best weapon against Mages. The shield bearers' original round shields were replaced by Rex, and each of the 50 soldiers had a rectangular shield. This shield was stabbed into the ground, only revealing the soldier's head. With a dozen shields linked together, they could seal off a narrow street.
The stone statue castle was indeed hard to attack, but its weakness was too obvious. The wooden gate …
After making arrangements for these Death Warriors and letting them familiarize themselves with the equipment, Rex started to use the materials in the God Sifting Ring to assemble a massive war chariot.
This chariot looked like a low-level magical beast. Its head was sharp, and its entire body was covered in steel scales. There were eight wide wheels under the chariot. This war chariot was thick and heavy. The completely enclosed compartment was extremely small, and there was only one person hidden inside — Violent Bear.
This war chariot was originally used to break down doors, but it was only used to deal with small towns. Large cities basically didn't have pure wooden doors like the stone castle. Wrapping the city gates in steel had already become the habit of all the countries on the continent. The wooden door was wrapped in steel, which could effectively prevent fire attacks from the enemy. Even magic attacks would be greatly reduced.
"My men will break down the gate. Your men will rush in and clear the space in front of the gate. Then my chariot will enter and deal with the gargoyles. Since the other side doesn't have an Advanced Mage, it'll be easier. "
Rex's words made Bivano very depressed. If he had suitable equipment, he would only need 2,000 people to take down this castle. Unfortunately, he didn't have anything. His light troops advanced and were blocked here. He had no choice but to borrow Rex's strength.
Rex had learned this method from Daniel. Although it was violent, it was effective. The guards in the stone castle weren't of one mind at all. Other than the 1,000 people under the count, the remaining five flag regiments were still leaning towards the Agares Family.
If the gate wasn't broken, those 5,000 people would be the enemy. Once the gate was broken, the five flag regiments immediately lost their will to fight. Rex was very familiar with how the nobles controlled the army. Although the Titan Duchy wasn't a match for Yun Liu, it would still take a long time for Jupiter the Great to completely control it. This was the reason why she dared to stay here.
Of course, Rex wasn't done yet. She took out a large number of weapons and asked Bivano to distribute them. These weapons were used to destroy the arrow towers and catapults. The catapults were fine. After they rushed into the castle, they were no longer a threat to Bivano's soldiers. However, the arrow towers could shoot down from any angle. They were very destructive to Bivano's army.
Finally, Rex took out two construction puppets and said to Salin, "You'll be in charge of these two things. The arrow towers won't be cut down so easily. Just let the puppets destroy them with brute force."
Salin nodded. Only a small amount of metal was used at the bottom of the arrow towers. In fact, Shika could go up and push them down. However, that would be risky, and Salin had no intention of taking the risk.
Seeing Rex's siege vehicles and construction puppets, Bivano was very jealous. The Titans had warhorses, and Qin Yin had mages. He would never be able to compete with Rex in terms of magic equipment.
After distributing the equipment and scrolls one by one, Bivano finally felt a little better. Rex had invested a lot. These siege vehicles were very sharp and could definitely break the wooden gate. However, they had many other uses besides breaking the gate. After one attack, the vehicle would be useless.
Rex also distributed hundreds of scrolls to the mages, which made Bivano very confident. He was worried about the gargoyles at first, but seeing that Rex had so many scrolls, he knew there wouldn't be too much trouble, unless there was a Magic Shooter hiding in the castle.
While the sky was still dark, Bivano commanded his army to follow behind Rex's siege vehicle.
The vehicle was pulled by four warhorses and headed towards the stone castle along the straight road. There was a watchtower in the stone castle. When they were two miles away, they discovered the enemies that had reappeared in their line of sight.
However, the quality of alchemy binoculars was very different. Although the alchemy binoculars in the stone castle could see three to five miles away, the image was very blurry. It was only when the vehicle was half a mile away that they could tell what it was.
The Titans didn't have such things at all. The siege vehicles were made of a large amount of metal and were shockingly heavy. Without high-level alchemy, it was impossible to make them. Even if they were made, the warhorses wouldn't be able to pull them.
The Siege Chariots charged from 800 meters away, and four horses pulled the tens of thousands of kilograms heavy chariots towards the gates of the Castle. Before this, the Siege Chariots had already accelerated for half a kilometer before reaching their maximum speed.
The magic formation in the siege vehicle operated steadily, and the magic cores embedded in it were quickly consumed. Without the magic formation, the four warhorses wouldn't be able to move such a heavy metal lump.
The warhorses wearing blindfolds and enchanted with magic crashed into the gate. With a loud bang, the siege vehicle smashed the gate and the four warhorses into pieces at the same time due to the huge inertia. The six-meter-long slender vehicle crashed into the gate, and the entire tower shook.
From accelerating to breaking through the gate, the siege vehicle only took a little more than a minute. The catapults in the castle didn't even have time to react. By the time the gate was destroyed and Bivano's cavalry appeared in sight, the gate had already been smashed into pieces.
The piercing sound of the metal whistle spread throughout the entire castle. The siege vehicle split in the middle, and the magic formation operated according to the pattern. The cracked metal vehicle rolled up to the sides, and turned into a metal bridge that was about four meters wide. The wheels of the vehicle had already been blown off. Even Grizzly Bear couldn't pull it away from the gate.
However, the design of the vehicle had already considered this situation. After the transformation, it became a wide and stable metal bridge that led directly into the castle.
There was another gate inside the castle, but it was even more fragile. Grizzly Bear jumped out of the vehicle with his warhammer in hand. He looked up and saw that there was no Dragon Breaker Stone inside the gate, so he immediately rushed towards the second gate with his giant warhammer.
The castle was already in chaos. The five flag regiments knew that it was the young duke who was attacking the castle, so they didn't have the mood to continue fighting. As soon as the gate was broken, the soldiers guarding the gate scattered, and no one bothered to care about the second gate.
Grizzly Bear's warhammer flew out, and with a thin metal chain, it smashed towards the axle of the second gate.
This kind of wooden gate wasn't enchanted, so it was no different from a piece of paper to Grizzly Bear. The giant warhammer broke the axle, and Grizzly Bear gave it a shove, and the second gate fell inwards.
Grizzly Bear threw the warhammer directly into the castle, took the giant shield and scimitar from his back, and jumped in.
Two hundred meters ahead was an arrow tower. Grizzly Bear raised his shield and madly ran. Dozens of arrows were shot from the arrow tower, but because he couldn't adjust the angle in time, only the small steel crossbows were blocked by Grizzly Bear's giant shield.
If there were a large number of soldiers in front of the gate, Grizzly Bear would immediately fall into a bitter battle. However, there were only a dozen soldiers supervising the battle, and they were the count's trusted aides. Half of them were sent flying by Grizzly Bear's shield. It only took the Grizzly Bear less than 20 seconds to reach the bottom of the arrow tower.
He calmly used his scimitar to hack at the arrow tower. The arrow tower was made of giant wood, and there was no one nearby to harass Grizzly Bear. Grizzly Bear's sword clattered as it cut down a pillar. The remaining soldiers didn't dare to approach, and they took out their hand crossbows to shoot at him.
Grizzly Bear put the shield on his back, too lazy to look at the soldiers, and continued to deal with the second pillar. The soldiers' hand crossbows weren't accurate at all. Only two or three arrows hit the shield behind Grizzly Bear and were directly bounced off.
The gate was broken, and Bifano's cavalry stepped over the iron bridge formed by the deformed chariots and rushed into the castle.
The count's trusted aides were all controlling the catapults and arrow towers. Most of the soldiers guarding the gate scattered in confusion. Some even took off their badges and threw them on the ground. They followed behind Bifano's cavalry and rushed to the center of the castle.
Salin's magic chariot followed the cavalry into the castle. Seeing this, he finally understood why the emperor attacked the Agares Family.
The Agares Family had too much influence on the locals, just like the Phoenix Family. When the emperor needed to gather all his forces, he couldn't allow such a family to exist.
