Chapter 354. A castle built on a hill

Just a moment.

The terrain has been transformed, and the rules of the world have been firmly established.

But in this desert, the only oasis of water, it has changed dramatically!

The soft, tight layer of sand has been reduced to a solid rock formation, which rises directly from the rock layer underground, protruding from the ground level and turning into a hill, like an open palm, just enough to place a castle at the top.

Drehem Castle, once a military fortress on the banks of an oasis, has been transformed into a fortress on a hilltop.

The rock formations that rise from the ground turn into mountains.

It's like a pedestal.

The cliff face is nearly 90 degrees high, more than 10 meters high, and it looks like a knife and axe.

At the top of this cliff, there are also 10-meter-high thick walls, 15-meter-high towers and 20-meter-high arrow towers, plus a wooden attic built at the top of the wall, which adds to the difficulty of climbing.

In fact, the rock walls that currently appear at the base of the castle are not capable of being climbed by humans.

Not even the best climbers.

What's more, on the walls at the top, on the towers, and on the arrow towers, Svadia's crossbowmen, Vecchia's archers, and light infantry armed with swords and shields were all waiting for them.

Civilians transported well-polished stones and heavy logs.

and an iron pan that can be used to heat and pour hot oil at any time.

Of course, this method is obviously not very useful against the undead, but against enemies who are flesh and blood and nerves and know pain, it can produce miraculous results.

Hundreds of degrees of hot oil poured down and penetrated into the cracks of the armor, and the effect was stronger than beating stones and trees.

If it's more vicious.

Heat up the feces and splash them down.

Not only is the skin and flesh drenched, but the subsequent infection can also kill people!

The "golden juice" of an ancient country on the earth that has been tried and tested for a long time can still resist a large number of enemy troops if it is used well, after all, the hot feces that emit a foul smell are sprinkled down, and not everyone is willing to approach it.

And now, even if it doesn't have much effect on the undead, the height alone is not something the undead can climb.

Those skeletons are just skeletons of bones.

Individual strength is extremely weak.

Even the most ordinary skeleton can't beat even the most ordinary farmer.

Let's just say that the skeleton cavalry that attacked the salt mine post station before, and the surprise attack without the Swadia heavy cavalry noticing, did not cause much success, and was also killed by the heavy cavalry in the surrounding.

And during the pursuit, the heavy cavalry fought and retreated, and even the formation did not collapse.

Although the undead have no exhaustion limit.

But because there is less flesh and nerves, there is no so-called explosive power.

In wartime, the Swadia heavy cavalry galloped on horseback, and it was easy to get rid of these undead cavalry, and after a short rest, they met the enemy and continued to break through in a stalemate, and this is how they left and returned.

But now, the castle that has successfully renovated the sentry oasis is not something that can be captured by regular troops.

The 10-meter hill fits snugly around the base of the city wall.

The entire four walls are cliffs.

There is only a 5-meter-wide and 20-meter-long ramp in the direction of the city gate.

The slope is steep.

The 20-meter ramp leads directly to the top of the 10-meter cliff.

Even if there is a stone slab, if a normal fully loaded truck wants to go up this ramp, it must be helped by the pull force in front or the thrust in the rear, which is very troublesome.

The castle was originally a military complex, and everything was for military considerations.

Such a steep slope means that the attack is difficult.

It's not just an upside attack.

Even if you attack the city gate, you can't effectively attack the city gate!

The steep slope makes it impossible for the siege equipment to stop, and even if it is in a fixed way, if you want to break through the gate, you will have to withstand the attack at the same time, and you will not be able to use the best force on the flat ground.

And the biggest possibility may be that it will be destroyed in the middle of the attack.

The defenders at the city gates were condescending.

Whether it's throwing combustibles, or releasing rockets, it's a breeze.

It can be said that now Kant's "Drehem" Castle has completely become the most terrifying military fortress, even if tens of thousands of elite troops attack, as long as a small number of troops and a large amount of materials can be defended until old age.

As for the water source, the springs that communicate the water elemental plane are bubbling up the sweetest fresh water all the time.

The excess spring water was left in the drainage holes specially opened in the city walls.

It's like a waterfall.

It is easy to pour into the original lake under the western city walls and cliffs.

There was no problem with the canals that had been built in advance, including the agricultural and animal husbandry areas in the sentry oasis, and perhaps the only difference was that they were built from relying on the city walls to building on the cliffs.

But the height of 20 meters has skyrocketed, and this place has become an insurmountable moat!

Not to mention the Naren Desert, which has a cruel and complex environment.

Even if it is a plain with a good environment and sufficient logistical supplies, there is no possibility of conquering this castle built on a cliff at all!

Even the city gates on the southeast side, the 5-meter-wide and 20-meter-long ramps have to be piled up with human lives.

can be more likely.

Perhaps it was the death of countless elite infantry, who had just smashed open and destroyed the city gates, and fell into a new despair.

There is still a city gate inside the city gate, but the blow is twofold!

Because Kant built an urn city, and on the walls of the urn city, there are arrow towers and towers densely built, and more crossbowmen can be deployed at any time, and arrows will rain down like a torrent of rain in an instant!

Even digging pits in the urn city, so that the troops who attacked the city gate suffered more serious losses.

For example, the sharp spears and wooden spikes that cover the bottom of the pit.

Or a firewood poured with grease, just throw a torch down and it can turn into a fire dragon and sweep the inside of the urn city.

And put down the reserve iron gate at the top of the city gate and cut off the internal and external links, basically the troops attacking inside are fish on the chopping block, and the troops attacking outside will continue to suffer greater casualties.

The concept of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign city defense was implemented and arranged by Kant.

Add special means to the fantasy plane.

Even in the face of an army of millions, as long as there is no supernatural power or supernatural beings that are too excessive to be suppressed, then this castle built on the top of the mountain is equivalent to a peerless fortress!

No one can storm the castle head-on.

Kant had this self-confidence.

Even if you don't care about casualties for a few days, you can't continue to attack.

20 meters of city defense height.

Well-built and well-stocked castles.

Not to mention the fantasy era of cold weapons, even in the modern era of gunpowder weapons, digging a large number of trenches or building underground fortresses, relying on cold weapons, bows and crossbows and ordinary means can be defended.

The time and place are favorable, and Kant has already taken all three.

Look up.

In the sky, the Naron Sun Disc also rises as the castle rises.

At the top of the tower, a soft sun is hovering, as if waiting quietly.

But as soon as evil appears, the blazing purification from the sun will be sprinkled in an instant, purifying all evil enemies and driving out any foreign troops that are not part of Kant's forces.

At the moment, Drehem has been promoted to the extreme!

"Come on."

Kant inhaled slightly, his heart very calm.

He still has a God's perspective.

He looked in the direction of the north, and at the end of the horizon, there was a faint black that seemed to spread in this direction, boundless, and enveloping a great area.

And the Vekia archers stationed on the watchtower have also discovered the anomaly.

The news was passed on quickly.

In the direction of the four city walls, the crossbowmen, who were still half-rested and half-guarded, were ordered, quickly got up and returned to their posts, vigilantly looking at the north direction or the areas where they were stationed, and entered a state of war.

Even the bell tower was already ringing at this time.

Death Canopy! [.]
