The Origin of Arcane

The engineering regiment of the Yongye Group Army acts as the coordinating commander.

Felling, transporting, piling up.

Weaving sacks, packing sand and soil, immersing in water and freezing.

Layers of stacking, secondary sanding, water splashing and wind freezing.

Everything is in an orderly manner, regardless of day and night, the lights are turned on and off.

The first designer and commander-in-chief of this project was none other than Ferdinand. When he received the order from the Yongye Army, he jumped three feet high excitedly.

Such a construction method is simply unimaginable, and I have never even heard of it.

The challenge was too high, and what he liked most was the challenge.

He directly brought over the surveying and mapping team that was surveying the terrain in the Three Cave League. Many basic things were already designed halfway, and the vanguard of the Yongye Army started preparations through Shanying's letter.

Such as log materials, sacks filled with sand, frozen sand bagged.

After they arrived, after simple surveying and mapping, construction began.

Good looks and durability are not in the scope of consideration. In the spring of next year, without the ice as the adhesive, this sandy city will be ruined.

Rugged efficiency is the most important thing.

They must dare to build a worthy war fortress before the mountain Kentana barbarians come to kill them.

On the bustling construction site, Ferdinand's roars and urging voices resounded. For this week, he slept no more than two hours a day, and his eyes were already boiled like rabbits, which made the already bad temper , becoming more irritable, but looking at the city wall that can be two meters higher every day, my heart is filled with an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Now it has come to the closing stage, and a large number of defense equipment is being transported to the top of the city for installation.

In order to increase the strength of the fortress, Ferdinand had a whim and asked people to keep watering the outer layer from top to bottom along the city wall, dry one layer and water one layer after another. One day and one night, an extra layer of three or four centimeters was added. Thick ice armor, slippery and strong.

This temporary fortress is really extremely simple, except for the two city gates, the rest are two earth and stone walls standing parallel to the mountain, one side is backed by the mountain, and the other side is deep into the bottomless lake.

One tall and one short.

The side facing Sishui City is about fifteen meters high.

The side facing the mountain Kentana savages was shorter, less than twelve meters.

There are two layers of consideration in doing so.

First of all, the Yongye Group Army and the Walled City Alliance have not been close enough to hand over their backs to each other unprepared. If they are stabbed in the back by their allies at a critical moment, that would be a sad reminder.

The second is the strategic depth, which can not only form a three-dimensional defense, but if the first city wall is really unable to defend, it can also withdraw to the second city wall and defend it.

The Yongye Army never underestimated the fighting power of its opponents.

The height of the city wall is not particularly ideal. According to Ferdinand's vision, to deal with the mountain Kentana barbarians with an average height of more than 2 meters, the first city wall should be at least 15 or 16 meters high, and the second city wall should be more than 20 meters high. .

It's a pity that he didn't have that much time. The advancing speed of the mountain Kentana barbarians was neither the fastest nor the slowest as expected.

Back and forth, it took nearly two weeks to sweep the gathering points of the mountain villages along the inland lake of Andis, and there was even a division of troops in the later stage, ranging from three to five hundred people to as many as thousands of people , Like locusts crossing the border, burning, killing and looting.

All wars are cruel, and even wars with a cloak of justice can easily seduce the evil in people's hearts.

Not to mention these mountain Kentana savages, the clan is supreme, and there is no moral constraint in their hearts. Other races are just two-legged sheep, and many clans have not yet gotten rid of the habit of cannibalism.

By the time they met the army sent by Ban Hebrew to make a last-ditch effort, there were already tens of thousands of mountain militiamen behind the barbarians in the mountain Kentana.

Human nature is complex, and it is vividly displayed in the face of war.

Before the war, these mountain slave soldiers may be good fathers, good husbands, good leaders, and good hunters, but in the face of death, they are indeed cowards. In order to survive, they gave up their dignity .

And the only way to win the trust of the barbarians of Kentana in the mountains and escape from their slaughter is to raise the butcher knife against your own people.

When they were driven to a dead end and released the evil in human nature, their brutality was not much worse than those savages.

Under the wild charge of the barbarians in Kentana in the mountains, nearly 20,000 soldiers selected by Ban Hebrew, relying on the favorable location and carefully organized sniping, were defeated and retreated one after another without resisting even a day The morale of less than half of those who survived was completely destroyed, and they could not be reused in a short period of time.

It seemed that they knew that Sishui City was their biggest target. The vanguard of the barbarians did not come over immediately, but stayed in place. When the scattered troops gathered together again, they came to attack in a mighty manner, preparing to take down Sishui City in one go. water city.

When they saw an unexpected city blocking their way, these barbarians were a little confused.

Xiong Yale, the supreme commander of the barbarians in Kentana in the mountainous area, carried Gergild like a chicken, and roared: Didn't you say that the next road will be smooth, and you can go directly to Sishui City? Then tell me, this What is it?

Not only those savages stared at the glittering ice city in the sun, but even Gergild couldn't help but widen his eyes, with a look of incredulity on his face, the mountain god, what did he see?

A city!

A city made of ice.

The flags above are waving, the voices are buzzing, and there seems to be cold light reflected by the arrows, all of which show that this ice city is not a decoration for bluffing.

But a month ago, there was still nothing here.

Could it be that Ban Hebrew had already expected that he would join forces with the mountain Kentana barbarians and made preparations in advance?

No, no, before this, I should have received the wind, and Ban Hebrew didn't have that much skill and courage.

The flag on the top of the city is not Ban Hebrew, but the black flag of the Eternal Night Army.

Could it be that Sishui City has already been captured by the Yongye Army?

Or is Ban Hebrew and the Yongye Army joining forces?

The latter should be more likely. After all, it is not an easy task to win a city with a population of 200,000 or more in such a short period of time, let alone build a fortress here. Made of ice, it's not that simple.

The other party should be prepared, as I said earlier, we should raid Sishui City as soon as possible. As long as Sishui City is taken down, we will wait until the snake head of the Walled City Alliance is smashed, and then go to take over other It's not too late for the village. Gergild sneered unceremoniously.

Now that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, he knows that he is still useful to these barbarians, and he will not kill himself unless it is absolutely necessary.

But Gergild did not remind the other party of the possibility of joining forces between the Walled City Alliance and the Yongye Army, and the difference between the Yongye Army and the Walled City Alliance.

He now hopes that these bastards will suffer a lot in the confrontation of the Yongye Army, and it is best to fight for both sides, so that he can reap the benefits when the time comes.

Haha... A small ice city wants to block the footsteps of the cliff clan fighters. This is wishful thinking. The brave and fearless cliff clan fighters will let you know what it means to be unstoppable. We will crush all those who stand in our way.

Bear Yalu laughed wildly, threw Gergild aside, and strode towards the clan warrior leaders to discuss the siege of the city.

The barbarians in the mountain Kentana have small brains, so it's not that they are really brainless, and they didn't rush towards the city wall more than ten meters high with their bare hands.

Instead, they stationed at the same place, driving those mountain people to log and build engineering equipment. Except for a main force stationed outside the ice city, the rest were scattered into a team of hundreds of people, attacking everywhere to investigate the situation around the ice city. At the same time, drive and gather the mountain people who are hiding in the surrounding mountains to prepare for the ants to attack the city.

Although the Yongye Army knew this, there was nothing they could do.

After seeing the tall and burly savages in Kentana in the mountains, the Yongye Army really didn't have the confidence to go out and fight the opponent.

The racial differences are too obvious.

In front of these big tall men with an average height of 2 meters and 23, the Andis people with an average height of only 1.67 meters are a group of halflings.

In terms of strength and physique, he was completely crushed, and it was difficult to make up for it even with equipment.

The mountain Kentana savages with impure blood, with such virtues, what kind of perverted real barbarians who live on the Kentana Ice Field with pure blood?

Fortunately, those guys have been stuck on the huge ice sheet, otherwise this world doesn't know what it will become.

Gergild was completely blinded by hatred, which is why he let such a group of people enter the mountain to disrupt the situation.

The soldiers of the Yongye Army secretly praised the wise decision of the higher-ups. Fortunately, they came up with such a clever solution, otherwise the Yongye Army would definitely be in danger of destroying the regiment and the army.

The only thing the Yongye Army can do now is to keep clamoring and provoking on the city wall, trying to lure the mountain Kentana barbarians to attack the city ahead of time.

Not to mention, this trick is really useful for these barbarians with low anger points.

Many barbarians knew that the other party did it on purpose, and their eyes were red with anger, screaming, and rushed out of the camp single-handedly, trying to charge the ice city.

But as soon as they rushed out, they were thrown back one by one by the giant Xiong Yalu.

In front of this powerful clan warrior, those irascible barbarians also had to lower their noble heads to show their respect for power.

Bear Yale is far more restrained and calm than he shows, especially when facing war.

But the siege was still inevitable.

Bear Yale's calm and restraint is to wait for the gathering of power, to attack at the moment when he is most powerful, not because he is afraid of attacking the city.

Just like what he said to Gegild, the warriors of the Cliff Clan are fearless, and no city can stop them.

In fact, Xiong Yale and the others also know that they only need to wait patiently for a few months, and this ice city will collapse on its own.

But they have no way to wait, because they also lack time.

Don't look at their unstoppable appearance now, but they are very aware of their own shortcomings, that is the number of people.

Those Andis people are like mice, no matter how clean they are, if you go back and walk around, new ones will emerge.

And the seven or eight thousand clan warriors here are already as strong as they can get, and it's really a loss of one and one less.

Before all the Andis people reacted, they had to tear up their vitality, so that the entire mountain could be controlled by them and become the foundation for the development and growth of their clan.

To tear up the thing that the enemy is most proud of, bloody, and put it in front of the opponent is the best blow to the enemy's spirit.

This was originally Dad's life philosophy, but now it has become Xiong Yale's.

Not to mention that he hasn't found another way out for the time being, even if he finds another way to go around, Bear Yale is not going to do it.

Flattening this ice city and tearing apart all the enemies on it has become his primary goal.

The siege began in the early morning of the fifth day, with sparse snowflakes floating in the sky.

The collected mountain people were like driven pigs, equipped with crude equipment, carrying a ladder (a long ladder) and a crash cart (a sharpened log), and launched an attack on the ice city.

I beg you, open the city gate and let us pass, we are all innocent, we don't want to do this.

Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows, we are all our own people.

There are still old people and children here.

Help us, please, save us, we don't want to die, we want to live!

Those Andis people who were driven by the mountain Kentana barbarians left the city tremblingly under the opponent's butcher's knife.

Seeing that the barbarians did not follow up immediately, they dropped their crude weapons and siege equipment, and ran towards the direction of the ice city. While running, they shouted loudly, hoping that the people of the city wall could open the gate, Save their lives.

Let the arrow!

Let the arrow!

Let the arrow!

The orders of the Yongye officers on the city wall came one after another, but a large part of the Yongye soldiers who had always ordered and prohibited orders showed hesitation, and did not let go of the bowstring in their hands for a long time.

At this moment, the shortcomings of the Yongye Army's lack of war experience were undoubtedly exposed.

Regardless of whether they faced the Andes or not, they could be 100% sure that they were the enemy, and there was nothing wrong with attacking the enemy without any psychological burden.

The attack against the Walled City Alliance was even more overwhelming. The generals and leaders did not drive away the ordinary mountain people to defend, or more precisely, they had no chance.

At this moment, they were facing innocent mountain people who were driven away by those barbarians. Many people couldn't get over the psychological hurdle, and couldn't let go. Even before this, the captain and deputy captain had repeatedly done ideological work on them.

Let the arrows! Let the arrows! Let the arrows! I order you to let the arrows go, don't you hear me? Soldiers, carry out the order!

Those captains and vice-captains were furious and kicked at those hesitant Yongye soldiers, while their regiment commanders and generals were watching from behind, their faces were humiliated by these idiots.

Captain, I can't do anything, they are all innocent mountain people, why don't we open the city gate and let them in!

A Yongye soldier looked at his captain pleadingly and said.

Bastard, you bastard, as long as you are kind, we are all a bunch of cold-blooded bastards?

If you don't look at the situation on the other side, once the city gate is opened, not only will they not be able to survive, but we will also have to be buried with them, and the hundreds of thousands of people behind us will all have to be buried with them.

Soldier, pick up your bow and arrow. Shoot, this is an order. I will bear all the sins and all the debts. It has nothing to do with you. You just follow the order!

With a dark face, the captain pointed at the barbarian army outside the city, and roared hoarsely.

Although the mountain Kentana savages did not follow directly, they were all ready to charge. Once there was a sign of a breach or the city gate opened, they would rush over like a flood.

Fire the arrows, soldier, don't force me to enforce the military law! In the end, the captain's Yongye saber was unsheathed.

I'm sorry! The Yongye soldier could only close his eyes in the end, and let go of the bowstring in his hand.
