“Experintal Siege Warfare”
[Objective]: To capture Perugia City (forrly one of the secondary important human cities, now corresponding to a dium-sized land deed)
Perugia is also the capital of the province with the sa na and the capital of the Umbria region, a historic cultural city of great antiquity.
It is situated on a mountain at an altitude of about 500 ters,
with beautiful scenery, overlooking the Tiber Valley and Lake Trasino, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack, its strategic location is quite significant.
For over two hundred years, steam train tracks and transit stations have been set up at the foot of the mountain, providing excellent preservation for the ancient city of Perugia built at the mountain’s end.
The winding streets and highways that climb upwards and the tiered ancient architecture are a major feature of Perugia City.
[Troop Deploynt]:
1. Siege Commanding Officer: One Soldier-level Knight
2. Besieging Knights: Around five hundred (including mbers of special forces)
Recruitnt will be on a voluntary basis, without any limit to the number of participants.
At that ti, “Eye of the Expedition” will be used to carry out preliminary reconnaissance of the target city.
Based on the comprehensive information about Perugia City, the most suitable siege troops will be selected.
[Rewards]:
Knight who achieves victory in the siege will be awarded a “Third-Class Ribbon”, enjoying priority access to supplies and healing in subsequent expeditions.
“We will reach Perugia City within two hours. Knights who wish to participate in the siege, please gather inside the Demon King Castle within ten minutes.”
In an instant, the formation of the Expeditionary Army underwent a certain degree of change.
About seven hundred knights registered to participate in the first siege battle of the Big Expedition.
(Inside the Demon King Castle)
A demon Perception Officer responsible for liaison was reporting the scouted intelligence to the Great Demon Leader.
“Leader… When attempting to peer at Perugia City through the ‘Eye of the Expedition’, there was a strong psychic backlash that caused five perception personnel to fall into a state of deep pollution. They have been sent to the Moving Sanctuary for treatnt.
The information we managed to gather did not et our expectations.
The city retains a vast amount of the original humans’ architecture,
and the ntal contamination suffusing the city is extrely high,
the demons nestled inside demonstrate highly chaotic traits,
and there is a possibility that the uneven ancient structures contain nurous overlapping spaces.
Additionally, we obtained the keyword ‘Mouse’.
We were unable to perceive any information about the Lord… after analyzing the chaotic properties, there is a high probability that this city is backed by [Upper Old King].
Leader, should we deploy the Eternal Night Wolves for an ultra-fast close-distance reconnaissance?”
“A city with ntal contamination chaos? The wolves are not very strong in psychic defense either, so it would be quite dangerous to send them for reconnaissance.”
“Then… should we abandon the siege plan? Change our route, choosing to detour around… After all, the Old King corresponding to this city is not the ultimate target of this Big Expedition.”
“Hahaha! Why abandon such a good opportunity?
If this city is indeed backed by an [Upper Old King], by simply adhering to the ‘rules’, the probability of the Old King himself descending will be completely reduced to zero.
It’s mostly the [Lower Old Kings] who like to ddle.
How many knights registered for the siege? Have they all arrived?”
“A total of 782 people, all gathered in the hall.”
“Hmm… Directly manipulate the magic crystals within the castle to create a potent ntal Storm.
Those knights who can withstand it shall join the siege warfare.
At the sa ti, try to involve as many ‘Fighting Nuns’ as possible… I want to see just how capable these demon killers produced by the Holy Knights Group really are.”
“Yes.”
For a mont,
the Magic Crystal Stone that served as the main building material of the castle lit up with a purple glow.
Dumps reminded Han Dong, who was by his side, imdiately, “A ntal Storm is imminent… It seems that the Great Demon Leader has already scoped out the special traits of Perugia City.”
“Hmm.”
For a mont,
a ntal Storm generated by Nether Essence swept through the brains of all the knights present.
Many knights collapsed to the ground.
The storm of Nether Essence did not have a negative impact on individuals, and the fainting was only temporary; rather, it could replenish individuals with enough energy.
Han Dong was not affected ntally at all, but he pretended to be sowhat affected and propped himself up with one hand on the ground.
After all, there were other knights around him in a similar posture… If he seed too unaffected and got assigned a special task, that would be troubleso. Han Dong only wanted to quietly be an idle fish during the siege battle.
“As you have experienced with the ntal Storm,
Perugia City is a Demon City whose main feature is spiritual contamination. Only those who pass the ntal defense test are qualified to participate in this siege battle.
Congratulations on being selected for the vanguard of this trial siege battle.
The siege will be commanded by , Platoon Leader of the Doomsday Knight Brigade – Arthur. Demon Converter.
Your core objective is to, under the leadership of Arthur, ‘wage war’ against the Lord Demon who occupies the city, annihilate all demons entrenched within by a frontal assault, behead the Lord, and seize the ‘Land Deed’.”
“At your command!”
Kneeling at the forefront, the Commander – Arthur. Demon Converter, had almost the sa Demon skin as the Great Demon Leader.
However, his white skin was covered with nurous ‘impurities’ – black veins and stripes that showed on the surface of his skin.
He had an even larger stature and more pronounced muscular contours.
He usually invested all his Fate Points into ‘Demonic Material,’ constantly pursuing the endless power of Demons. Underneath what seed to be raging muscles, however, he possessed a very ticulous heart, which was highly valued by the Great Demon Leader.
The Great Demon Leader stared at the besieging knights kneeling in the main hall, his gaze lingering on Dumps for a long ti.
Then he continued:
“The reason this siege battle has the prefix ‘trial’ is that we need to assess the ‘probability of the Old King’s arrival’ by directly besieging, as well as confirm so of the ‘world rules’ that exist among demons.
According to the joint divination of several of the highest-ranking Prophets of the Holy City and the intelligence collected from past expeditionary actions,
after Demons occupied the world, they established a ‘world rule’ that all demons, including the King, must follow this rule.
We as living beings are also included in this rule.
As long as we follow the rule and initiate the siege, the corresponding Old King in the background will not be able to intervene personally.
I have already told Arthur the specifics in advance, and I believe among you there are so knights with rich experience, who have participated in dium-scale expeditions and know what ‘the rule’ is.
I wish you a triumphant return.”
One and a half hours passed.
The ancient city in the mountains, shrouded in gray fog, slowly ca into the view of the Expeditionary Army.
“Great Demon Leader! A spirit-based Demon ssenger has appeared at the foot of the mountain, attempting to connect to ‘Eye of the Expedition’ to negotiate with us.”
“Let it connect directly into the Demon King Castle.”
Squeak, squeak, squeak~~
For a mont,
the screeching sound of mice rose in the castle hall.
A Demon cloaked in a gray robe appeared in the center of the hall, with hordes of mice scurrying around beneath him.
