Chapter 696 Battle of Multiscale City

In addition to Solomon, other people were also busy recruiting during this time.

It took nearly a month for Ge Wen of the Figuerola family to barely gather 8000 people.

The main reason is that there are indeed no fighters left in the families in the western region, and Ge Wen is unwilling to let Ilea intervene, fearing that the latter will steal the credit and limelight.

He would rather find a vassal who was farther away to borrow someone, so that the journey would waste a lot of time.

Of course, Herodotus will not be idle, it is said that he did the same old thing again, pulling up a new army in the multi-scale city.

And this time, it is said that it has also received the support of many nobles, but those nobles are all notorious guys without exception.

Among them, the two traitors, Hugo and Ilkander, are the most eye-catching. The latter is now called the Kingslayer by the people in the West.

In addition, there is Blanco from the Arias family. According to the Blood Moon Society, Blanco should be the real head of the Arias family.

It was just that in that fateful election, his position as head of the family was snatched away by Ilea and the Shuangxiu Cult using despicable means.

But now that the Blood Moon Society and Herodotus are making decisions for him, Blanco is already confidently saying that he wants to regain the position of master from his sister.

Let the people living in the green field return to the embrace of the Silver Moon Goddess again.

Although the nobles who heard this thought that the child was probably out of his mind, with Ilea's current prestige, no matter how she became the head of the family in the first place, it was obviously impossible for her to lose to her younger brother.

However, seeing that so many nobles suddenly began to support the Blood Moon Society, the morale of the civilians in the city, especially the new army newly formed by Herodotus, was still boosted.

Ge Wen didn't want to wait any longer, watching Herodotus, a clown, continue to show off his might.

Therefore, although he did not pull up an army of tens of thousands of people as expected, and most of them were just militiamen, Ge Wen decided to lead the army to the outside of Multiscale City.

In Ge Wen's opinion, there is no reason why he cannot do what the female lord can do.

And compared to the dwarf army in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, those guys from the Blood Moon Society are just a bunch of mobs.

Herodotus is good at deceiving people, but he has never proved that he has any military talents. Every time he faces a tough battle, he will only choose to escape, and this time is probably no exception.

Moreover, the Figueirola family's name is known to everyone in the western region.

As long as the despicable means of poisoning and assassination by the Blood Moon Society can be guarded against, there is not much suspense in this battle. Even the so-called army in the city, hearing that it has been surrounded by the army of the Figuerola family, might be surrounded by the army of the Figuerola family. Scared out and surrendered.

Ge Wen's strong self-confidence made Quintus who was accompanying him somewhat at a loss as to what to say.

He wanted to remind Gwen Herodotus and the Blood Moon Society that they were not what they used to be, and with the previous example of the massacre of 2 people, the new army in the city would definitely fight to the last moment.

In addition, Hugo and Blanco don't matter, they really belong to the wave of nobles who are not very good, but Ilkander is a real fighter.

If he sincerely joined the Blood Moon Society, then the next battle might not be easy.

However, Ge Wen didn't listen to Quintus' advice at all, and he couldn't wait to start arranging the first wave of attack as soon as he arrived at the city.

The multi-scale city has high walls and strong walls. Ge Wen plans to attack with the whole army tomorrow morning, and attack from all directions. However, the army is only a feint attack, and it is a 300-man vanguard group that really decides the outcome of the battle.

As long as the next city wall can be captured, the soldiers behind can be transported up continuously until the city gate is completely captured.

After Ge Wen and a dozen vassals finalized the details of tomorrow's action, they looked up and saw Quintus still standing silently on the side.

"High Priest Quintus, didn't you say that you would contact people in the city, what happened?"

Quintus cheered up when he heard the words, "I did contact a few priests, and they told me that although the Blood Moon Society has controlled Multiscale City, there are still people who are secretly resisting Herodotus."

"Really?" Ge Wen became interested, "How many of them are there and what can they do for us?"

"There are about one or two hundred of them, and many of them had to join Herodotus' new army in order to survive," Quintus replied.

"As long as they can stand firmly with us in this battle and demonstrate their value, I can pardon them after the battle," Ge Wen said. "If they perform well, additional rewards are not unnegotiable."

"They also have the will in this regard, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that Herodotus has always been very demagogic. I worry that they have been instigated by Herodotus. This is Herodotus' trick." Quintus said honestly.

Ge Wen didn't take it seriously, "What can Herodotus give them? Let's see who they are who will join the Blood Moon Society. The traitor in the western region, and a kid who failed in the family struggle and wandered outside for several years. He is a desperate loser, why would anyone else want to work for Herodotus?"

Quintus had to admit that what Ge Wen said was also reasonable, and the high priest of the Silver Moon Church continued, "They are willing to secretly open a city gate for us when the war happens."

"Oh? Which city gate is it?"

"The little door to the south."

Ge Wen nodded, "Then I will arrange 1000 people to wait at the south gate tomorrow. If the gate is opened there, I can just send people to kill it. If it is not opened, it doesn't matter. Just follow the plan to grab a city wall. Lincheng is also in our pocket."

Quintus was born in a peasant family and had no military experience. Hearing what Ge Wen said, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.

So early the next morning, Ge Wen launched an attack on Multiscale City as planned.

The army rushed down the city like a tide, and the militiamen braved the arrow rain on the city and began to build ladders to climb to the top of the city.

Ge Wen was wearing armor and riding a horse to personally supervise the battle at the front, but the progress of the battle was not very smooth.

The tenacity of the defenders was a bit beyond Ge Wen's expectations. Those guys on the wall were obviously not real fighters, but they fought desperately. people back up.

There were also civilians who didn't wear any armor, and they also helped to pick up stones and throw them down the city. It was only after Ge Wen captured a few prisoners that he realized that it was because Herodotus had performed a miracle in front of the believers before the war.

Let a stone float on the water.

This is considered to be the oracle of Pythia, heralding that the blood moon of the next war will be victorious.
