Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Fengyuan City is located in the central plain of the Principality of Saint Valen. The abundant tributaries of the Ralph River divide the entire city into two parts. The inner city and the military camp are located on the north bank, and the south across the river is an endless expanse of fertile farmland.

Many of the family branches of Duke Ralph also own fiefs in the south. Standing on the sentry tower of the city wall of Fengyuan City, you can see the scattered pastures and farms on the south bank at a glance.

Unlike other cities in the principality, Fengyuan City has been carefully managed by Duke Ralph for several generations. The old castle fortress has been expanded several times in the past and is divided into two parts, the inner and outer city. The walls of the outer city are not tall and strong, but are more for the purpose of demarcating the scope of the city and for the Duke's family to collect taxes for entering the city.

Around Fengyuan City, where there has been no large-scale war for decades, the war forts and sentries that originally played a role in early warning and defense have long lost their due functions. The small nobles and knights who were enfeoffed by the first generation of dukes when they followed the Grand Duke of Saint Valen to establish the country have also long retired and become leisurely landlords and wealthy people.

Fortunately, the contemporary Duke Ralph is still an excellent successor. Although the military preparations in the territory are in disrepair, the Duke's direct line of Fengyuan Knights still maintains a super high combat power. They have experienced countless battles of all sizes with the Duke himself, and their main achievements are to go north to resist the evil orcs who crossed the Divine Ridge Mountains and invaded the border of Saint Valen.

However, due to the flat terrain in the central part of Saint Valen, few cities have been invaded by foreign enemies using waterways as the main attack route. Therefore, the Fengyuan City Pier, which originally had no military defenses, was directly exposed to Harvey's armored fleet without any resistance.

Harvey's fleet sailed south from Grizzly Castle and arrived at Sancha Town in just one day. After a simple rest for one night, they immediately set off to the west, marching along the surging Ralph River at lightning speed. In the evening of that day, they saw the outline of the walls of Fengyuan City.

"Several villages and towns along the way should have discovered our fleet, but no one could have realized that it was an army attacking Fengyuan City, and no one would have come to the city to report the news." This was Wayne's second visit to Fengyuan City, and he was more familiar with the local situation than others.

"Even if they reported the news, what would it matter? Unless they use carrier pigeons and frost-winged eagles, by the time they arrive in Fengyuan City on horseback in the cold weather, we would have already blasted open the gates of the Duke's Mansion." This was not the first time that Duff went south to fight. During the Battle of Sancha Town, he had personally witnessed the incompetence of these southern nobles and knights.

Commander Pierce was silent for a moment, then looked up at Vaughn and asked, "Do you think we should directly control the dock, gather troops and wait until tomorrow to launch the attack... or take advantage of the cover of night to act directly?"

Vaughn stared at the simple map of Fengyuan City in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "According to the information provided by the intelligence personnel, the enemy is mainly concentrated near the inner city barracks and the Duke's Mansion. The outer city walls are guarded by the city defense army and patrol teams with poor armaments. There is nothing to be afraid of."

He paused, and pointed at the location of the dock with his thick fingers. "It only takes half an hour to control the dock. Our fleet should be deployed in this section of the river, and the two outer city gates in the southwest should be directly blocked with naval guns... and the main attack direction of the ground forces is the east gate closest to the inner city area!"

"Before Duke Ralph ran away, he took away all the bloodline knights and spellcasters of his direct lineage. At present, there are less than one in Fengyuan City. The Knights' garrison of a thousand people, perhaps they can temporarily gather some city defense forces, but the total number will not exceed two thousand. "

Pierce took two magic bullets, representing the offensive targets of his army, and placed them directly at the inner city barracks and the Duke's mansion. "Our artillery operations can only be carried out in these two places. The advancement of ground forces must be fast enough to avoid accidentally injuring civilians."

Wayne asked in a low voice, "The empty north gate..."

"The special operations team will ambush there in advance. This is a deliberate evacuation gap for the Duke's family. Otherwise, when we take over Fengyuan City, we will have to spend some time searching for them in the city."

Pierce is also experienced in setting traps to catch all the defeated nobles. The people in the southern border do not have magic ID cards like the pioneers. Just identifying and verifying the identities of those defeated nobles can make them anxious.

…

Captain Hansen of the city defense army was frightened by a loud horrible noise and fell directly from his chair to the ground. Before he could get up and rush out of the house to check the situation, the continuous rumbling accompanied by the shaking of the ground and the house almost made him lose his balance again.

“What happened!” Seeing the guard with blood on his face rushing in, Hansen grabbed the other party’s collar and asked, “Could it be that the spellcasters in the city accidentally cast spells into our city guards’ barracks?”

The guard looked terrified and confused, and trembled: “No… I don’t know, sir, some strange things fell from the sky, and we can’t see what they are. Not only the barracks, but also the city gates and the top of the wall were directly blown to pieces. The guards guarding nearby…”

Hansen pushed the guard away, took the sword from the wall and held it in his hand, and ran straight out of the barracks.

When I walked outside, I found that the entire city guard camp built beside the city wall was directly engulfed in flames. The heavy wooden city gate not far away was directly broken from the middle, tilting and tilting like two pieces of rags. Several unlucky guards were pinned down and kept screaming for help.

There were also several gaps in the wall above. Fortunately, when it was cold, there were no guards patrolling on the city wall for a long time, so there were no casualties.

"What the hell is going on! Who dares to attack the city guards!" Hansen felt extremely anxious, but fortunately he had some brains. He quickly called a guard and ordered, "Hurry to the knights' base in the inner city and ask them for help! There may be enemies in the city who are sneaking up to create chaos!"

Just as the guards mounted their horses and ran towards the inner city, a team of city guards who looked even more miserable ran towards Hansen crying, "Boss! It's bad! It's the enemy from Sancha Town!"

What? Sancha Town?

Hansen felt his heart sink, "They came by boat? Why didn't we receive a warning from the dock?"

"It was too late. They stopped the boat a long way away. We didn't even see who was coming. The whole dock suddenly exploded with a bang. The other side must have a spellcaster on the boat to attack us!"

Hansen immediately thought of the terrible rumor that the fleet full of elite knights sent by the Duke to Sancha Town did not return to Fengyuan City in the end.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

The border lord who openly opposed the entire Principality of Saint Valen came to the door so unscrupulously.

And they didn't receive any news or warnings. How did the other party do it?

Before he could think it through, there were several whistling sounds above his head, and the city defense soldiers almost subconsciously lay on the ground to avoid it.

This time Hansen finally figured out where the attack came from... The huge roar coming from the direction of the dock could not be completely covered by the tragic movement of people and horses in the camp at this moment.

"It's the dock! The enemy is attacking us at the dock!"

Oh my God... How did they manage to attack the city gate from such a distance?

These terrifying things that flew from the sky and exploded directly in the city, what kind of weird magic weapons are they!
