I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1385 - A Determined Adonis

Everett nodded in satisfaction, listening to the situation outside.

"Your holiness, the Battlefords under my Holy Generals, are now preparing for phase 2. It shouldn't be long before we can enter the city!"

"Good...."

The air was already thick with the foul stench of old blood.

And right in his tent, he could already smell the heavy aftermath from a week-long battle.

Everett's expression was chill

Getting to this point was not without a few sacrifices.

Scattered across the battlefield were his dead battle fords

At present, because they hadn't infiltrated the city, their enemy had the advantage of attacking from above without carrying about attacks from them.

One should recall that even though Morgany was about to create the first Ballista, it wasn't long ago.

Again, it wasn't long ago that their hidden Lampe prince had stolen the design from Alexander's person.

So it would take a while to reach Lampe.

That said, they over here didn't know about it.

In short, they couldn't imagine such long-range weapons could exist.

That is... Wasn't it just a fairytale?

The way of battle had always been like this, to minimize the death rate before the barred city gates got destroyed.

If they also knew that stone-throwers, A.K.A, Catapults were also made in Pyno, many would no doubt open their mouths wide in shock and delight.

Such Godly things was what they needed!

(*?*)

However, even though they couldn't fathom the idea of having long-ranged weapons, they still managed to find several ways of protecting themselves during battle.

"Monkard Joshua... How is the 'Holy Home' coming up?"

Joshua chuckled playfully.

"Your holiness, they are all ready for infiltration!"

.

The Home!

In essence, they were wooden structures created at Adonis war sights that could cover a total of 10 horses with the riders, only leaving the horses' hoofs exposed.

Of course, to support the frame, there are several support systems that are worn by the horses to keep things steady.

And the wooden structures are built so tightly together to avoid flying arrows penetrating the structure.

Of course, there are peep/arrow holes for those inside to release their own attacks on the enemies.

And when they had to leave the device, there was a door at the corners with a latch on the inside.

This was why it was called a home.

And there were 2 types.

One could be held up by10 horses in 2 rows. And another that could be held by men as though they were in a rectangular formation.

And if worse comes to the worst, they would drop their feet, covering their weaknesses, if the rain of attack was too heavy.

It should be noted that both types were the same size, length and width.

One could take up to 10 horses, and another could take up to 20~25 men. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovel(F)ɪre

The men moving the structure weren't entirely the same as the men shooting from within.

Everyone worked together to create a balance to things.

And of course, outlined and attached to the exterior of these Holy Homes, we're multiple shields too.

Hey...

One had to get many forms of protection, alight?

After all, wood had its own damage capacity too.

If they allowed too many arrows to pierce the wood more and more, it would soon begin to cream and open, leaving room for enemy arrows to penetrate and kill them from within.

That said, the Holy Home was designed to look roughly similar to how knights move in formation, with their armors covering all sides.

They stoop when they can and advance when necessary.

.

Everett was very pleased with the overall situation. However, how could he make his men feel happy with this much?

He tapped the paper before him with bloodshot eyes.

"It's been a week. And looking at these merry results, do you expect me to be happy?

Our Basic Troops, Auxiliaries and Legions have all been lost by 1/30th.

Tell me! We still have other areas to claim after this. So if we keep losing this much, do you expect me to be happy?

Our Calvary, Spearmen, advanced Militia… we lost so much before we could even enter the city.

So should I be happy?

ANSWER ME!!"

Bam!

Everest smashed his table into pieces right before their very eyes.

Everyone sucked in their breath, feel g the heavy tension in the air

Strong. . strong...

How could they forget that their Kardinal was a Skull Crusher?

Though fewer people died than they expected, a loss of people was still a loss.

Luckily, after finishing things up here, they just had to conquer and control the following 3 towns and 16 villages, followed by the next big City.

And by then, backup should've arrived at the scene.

That's right.

They were expecting Backup by October of this year.

One shouldn't think that it was far away.

For one, just transitioning to the nearby village took a day and a half.

If they were just traveling to the next Big City with no intention of fighting, the journey alone would take 3.5~4 weeks… a month.

However, now that they were fighting, this alone would prolong things.

.

For one, before they could leave this city, they would have to stay here for another month or 2 to subdue and control things completely.

They had to look for all hidden enemies in the city and quad the place too, before moving on to the next.

This was the Omanian Empire of Klain, one of the most fertile empires with all sorts of strong metal ores.

Omania as a whole had numerous uncountable resources.

But Klain was a good start if Adonis wanted to own and rule over the entire continent of Omania.

They will conquer the region and claim Omania as theirs.

However, what they didn't know was that Morgany had long been eyeing Omania too.

The reason why they hadn't been able to conquer the place for the specs was because of too much division of labor.

It was true.

Because Morgany was focusing on too many, if not all projects in this world, they couldn't commit to a full-scale war at present.

But Adonis was different.

All their forces were strategically targeted to expand their influence.

Unlike Morgany, who was busy guarding the seas, going here and there, and even doing things Adonis found meaningless.

Of course, all that Morgany had done was still great, seeing that they are able to always be on top in this world.

In truth, Morgany was sneaky, making everyone feel like they needed Morgany. They almost hypnotized the world to see their continent as a place where the Gods lived.

But Lampe was more direct rather than tricking many. Lampe was a true tyrant.

And in terms of strength, it wasn't bad either.

There was a reason why they were the 2nd strongest force in this world.

However, even if Morgany couldn't make a move on Omania now... Who said they would ever allow Lampe to take over?

NAIVE!
