Chapter 1496: The First Battle (8)

The victory of the four-nation alliance did not bring joy to anyone.
Even Qu Xun, who had always been arrogant, felt that he had suffered a huge loss. The only thing he rejoiced about was that Del City did not belong to the Blue Moon Dynasty. The people of the Longxuan Empire should feel heartache to see it destroyed.
After the battle ended, the four-nation alliance began to reorganize themselves.
Enchantress and Du Lang snuck into the passage and returned to Sun Never Sets with the remaining demons.
“My lord, I was incompetent and failed to destroy a few more siege weapons.” As soon as Enchantress appeared in the City Lord’s Mansion, she knelt on one knee and apologized to Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao immediately stood up and helped Enchantress up.
“I am already surprised that you can accomplish this much.” When Du Lang and the rest returned, they had already reported the situation of the four-nation alliance to Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao was shocked when she heard that.
According to Xiu, city walls built with obsidian should not have been breached in such a short amount of time.
“Are the siege weapons that powerful? They could actually break the city walls built with obsidian in one day?” Shen Yanxiao was very concerned about this news.
Yang Xi looked at Shen Yanxiao and said, “It’s rare for Del City to be able to hold on for a day with more than a thousand siege weapons. If it were an ordinary city wall, it would only take an hour for a hole to be created.”
“Xiu once told me that human siege weapons are not that strong.” Shen Yanxiao said.
Yang Xi sighed and said, “If my memory serves me right, the War God had entered a deep slumber nearly ten thousand years ago. His understanding of human siege weapons should still be at the level of the past.”
Shen Yanxiao was surprised and immediately understood Yang Xi’s meaning.
Xiu had been in a deep sleep, so it was impossible for him to have a real-time understanding of human weapons.
It was not unusual for humans to develop more powerful weapons after thousands of years.
“It seems like we have to find a way to destroy those siege weapons. If we allow them to reach Sun Never Sets, I’m afraid Sun Never Sets will not be able to withstand it for long.” Shen Yanxiao touched her chin. She did not know much about siege weapons.
“Even though the destructive power of a siege weapon is very strong, it has a fatal weakness.” As the successor of a forging family, Yang Xi immediately said.
“What weakness?”
“Their movements are slow. As the siege weapons are too large, the progress of the army would be very slow. According to Enchantress and the others, the four-nation alliance is using magical beasts to transport the weapons. Even then, their speed will not be very fast. Moreover, the range of the siege weapons is fixed and cannot be adjusted like artillery. Therefore, once the siege weapons are destroyed, their army will be ineffective,” Yang Xi said.
“You mean, we should launch a sneak attack on the siege weapons?” Tang Nazhi raised his eyebrows. He liked the word ‘sneak attack ‘.
“In theory, yes. But do you think the four-nation alliance are fools? They must have a tight watch over the siege weapons. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for us to sneak in. Moreover, even if we could sneak in and destroy a siege weapon, it would immediately attract their attention, making it difficult to attack them again.” Qi Xia shook his head. Tang Nazhi’s method was not feasible.
Shen Yanxiao said nothing. She merely narrowed her eyes and pondered if there was a way to destroy the siege weapons of the four-nation alliance.
The destructive power of the siege weapons was too great. If they could not destroy the siege weapons before they arrived at Sun Never Sets, then it would be a disaster for Shen Yanxiao and the rest.
