Chapter 1439

Looking back, Palau, the Lord of the city in Paladin armour, with more than a dozen of his guards, came quickly and told him, "monsieur, the vanguard of the barbarians has arrived at the wall of hell.".

"Ah," said Strauss with a sigh. After giving the order to arm the knights, he looked at Palau who was respectful to him and asked, "what are you going to do with the nobles?"

Palau hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "there are about a thousand cavalry in the vanguard of the barbarians. Even if we go out of the city to fight, it is very difficult to annihilate these cavalry without saying the casualties.".

Strauss nodded. In the city states of Olympus, cavalry has never been the main force. In addition, there are only more than 2000 soldiers in the city. In addition, the 800 hell wall guards who defend one kilometer away from the city are less than 3000.

This man went out of the city to fight with a thousand barbarian cavalry. Instead of eating each other, he was badly hurt and then broke into the city.

"So, the nobles are going to close the wall of hell, and then drag down the logistics of the barbarians, or settle the problem through negotiation?"

Palau nodded, saying that there was a huge gap between the enemy and us, and defense was the right choice. The only thing that dissatisfied Palau was that the nobles had not made up their mind to mobilize the young men in the whole city to help Chengcheng guard the wall of hell.

However, to tell you the truth, the wall of hell is a super fortification with a height of more than 20 meters and a thickness of tens of meters based on the ten meter high mountain.

In this era, not to mention human beings, even the gods may not be able to break the wall.

As long as the three meter thick stone gate is put down from the mechanism, no one can break the stone gate unless it is chiseled a little bit.

On the other side of hell City, as long as you stand on the city wall more than 20 meters high, shoot arrows from a high position and guard 800 gates, you can really kill and injure barbarians and make the world helpless.

As for building siege tools, climbing ladders more than 20 meters high, that is, wood as high as eight stories, are not so easy to find.

Hell City, which had thought of this for a long time, cut down all the trees within a few kilometers outside the city wall. Within nearly 30 kilometers, there were no trees more than 10 meters high.

Even if you find the materials from a far away place, you can wait for them to be processed, manufactured, and then transported. Haha, don't think about it in a month.

What's more, just climbing up the eight story ladder consumes almost all of our physical strength. The number of giant ladders is less, which is no different from death.

As for the ladder car, it's still more than 20 meters high. The Greeks can't make it themselves, let alone the barbarians.

Even the ancient Chinese did not build such a large ladder car.

The safest way is to fill a huge ramp with a lot of soil, but it can't be done in one or two months.

Strauss and other 101 people, riding on the divine world horse sent by William, jogged for a few minutes to the wall of hell,

let most of the Knights stay. Palau, the city leader, led by Strauss and ten paladins, went through the tens of meters long gate hole to the outside of the city wall.

There were thousands of savage cavalry who didn't even have harness, waving spears and knives in their hands. They were eager to try, and wanted to rush up and kill the twelve Strauss.

But before the barbarians got up, someone yelled "stop.".

Semir, who was riding beside the Barbarian King Hein, said to Hein in the angry eyes of the surrounding barbarians, "Your Majesty, the gates of hell city have three layers,

the outermost layer and the third layer are all bronze clad wooden gates, which are easy to open. The second layer is a mechanism gate made of boulders. Once it is put down, even if the people of hell city want to open it again, it will cost a lot of money Huge manpower and time.

Let's talk to the people in hell city first and try to persuade them to surrender.

Hain nodded with a smile, "then you are responsible for the discussion, and you will be treated as a chieftain.".

This, this, this.

Semir scolded in his heart. Everyone could know that he was a serious Greek just by looking at his appearance.

In case the person on the other side becomes angry when he hears the words of persuading him to surrender, or cuts him directly without thinking, who should he go to?

No, the barbarians around won't mind cutting him down.

Semir regretted that he did not follow Theseus to lead a hundred cavalry to carry out the task of driving ordinary Greeks into hell city.

After the Barbarian King showed a meaningful smile, Semir had to harden his head and run to Strauss.

Five or six meters away, he grabbed the reins and yelled, "I am the messenger of Crete Kingdom, the great king Hain orders you to surrender, otherwise on the day of breaking the city, all the people in the city will be demoted into slaves.".

For his own small life, Semir dare not say that the barbarians will slaughter the city. Unfortunately, Strauss's mission to hell city is not only to help the Greeks defend the city, but also to ensure that the barbarians will attack the city.

As for the release of Titan, William did not tell Strauss.

After Semir threatened, Strauss wanted to kill Semir, but he was a traitor to the Greeks.While angering the barbarians, they also clean up the leading Party who is familiar with hell city.

But unless he is the decision-maker of hell City, the practice of killing the messenger at the first meeting is too conspicuous, which inevitably makes people suspect that the paladins are actively provoking war.

"Traitors are not qualified to negotiate with me.".

Showing a look of disdain, Strauss turned his horse around without any hesitation and took the lead to enter the gate hole more than ten meters away.

And the Barbarian King didn't care at all. He knelt down on the ground nervously.

With the bow of Epirus in his hand, whether it is a bronze gate or a huge stone mechanism, it is a decoration for him.

To let Semir negotiate is to delay time and avoid fighting with the Greeks before the next 50000 troops arrive.

With a thousand horsemen and the bow of Epirus, he can really attack the wall of hell, but he is a king. He can't let the cavalry dismount foolishly and be an infantry to fight against the Greek shield square.

After all, the cost of training an elite cavalry is enough to arm a small group of ordinary soldiers.

When Strauss rode into the wall of hell, he saw a dozen nobles coming from the city on horseback.

As soon as we met, some nobles asked anxiously, "how do barbarians say that?"

Palau looked at Strauss and saw that the old man didn't mean to speak, so he said, "let's surrender, or everyone will become slaves after the city is broken.".

When the nobles heard this, they were surprised and asked, "how could this be possible? How could there be a negotiation to let people surrender without any conditions.

And we are all aristocrats. Why don't we even have the chance to redeem ourselves with money? "

"It's not that the barbarians don't understand the rules, but that they didn't want to accept our surrender at all," Strauss took the opportunity to say,

"have you ever thought about why the barbarians have to spend more than ten days to avoid the nearest city-state, and have to come to hell city.".

There were not no smart people among the nobles. After a while, someone frowned and asked, "is that why you suddenly appear in hell city?"

This makes all nobles and soldiers around him stare at Strauss nervously.

Strauss nodded his head and said, "it is said that after 12 years of Titan war, Zeus and other gods' palaces, together with the Titans who are dissatisfied with the second generation God King, although they finally defeated the second generation God King Cronus,

they have no spare power to wipe out all the hostile Titans, and they can only watch a lot of Titans escape from the war The field.

And that's not the most troublesome.

Since the roots can not be removed, and the two sides of the Titan war are all related, the wounded and captured Titans can only be imprisoned, but not killed directly, so as to avoid the second Titan war and the dissatisfaction of the Titans who helped Zeus fight. Many hostile Titans can only be sealed and imprisoned.

Hearing this, the nobles exclaimed, "so Titan is locked up in hell?"
