"Why hasn't the situation made any progress yet?" Emperor Otto asked coldly.
The dukes looked at each other.
"Verona City has recently received a batch of Troonus heavy smoothbore mortars." The Duke of Bavaria said, "Since many trenches were blown down, our offensive has been curbed to a certain extent."
"Then don't go through the trench! Can't we go around it if there is a landslide?" The emperor waved his hands impatiently.
"If we don't take the trenches and go directly across the open area, won't we become sitting ducks for mortars?" The Duke of Franconia sneered. "How about this? Send out your majesty's two dragons. One dragon can breathe out a breath of law to destroy the mortar position first, and then we can launch an all-out attack."
"Their mortar camp is too close to the city. The conspiracy is self-evident, Conrad." The Duke of Bavaria said, "The defenders only need to expand the anti-magic magnetic field and pull out anti-aircraft guns from the city to threaten the safety of the dragon. After all, no one knows what the city is equipped with now."
"What if the city is full of nuclear bombs? We won't attack Verona?" the Duke of Franconia said sarcastically.
"The nuclear bomb production line cannot be restored so quickly." said Duke Rudolf of the Wolf family.
"But for every day we delay, the Holy See will have more powerful weapons coming off the production line!" The emperor angrily slammed the desk in front of him, "Our advantage is being lost! We must speed up the siege!"
The dukes said nothing.
Of course, facing the Templars' artillery fire blocking the door, everyone is not completely helpless. All the major families need to do is to put together a team of demigods to be responsible for charging.
Power armor cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery fire, but demigods do not have these concerns. As long as they act quickly enough, they can open the field at the cost of some spiritual power and destroy the mortar position in an instant.
However, what the Duke of Franconia said was what everyone was really worried about - no one knew what the situation was in the city.
For example, what if the city is filled with mortars
At that time, we will launch a saturation fire bombardment on the demigods who have just captured the mortar positions outside the city...
Indeed, the realm of a demigod is almost equivalent to a small world, and mortars are unlikely to break through this layer of defense.
However, the demigod cannot open the domain endlessly. The current level cap is Lv.15. The demigod will die if the domain is opened for a few seconds. Given the industrial strength of the Holy See, it is difficult to say how many weapons are lurking in the city.
Therefore, no matter whether there are targeted traps in the city or not, no one wants their family's demigod to go to the battlefield... If they really have to go, why don't you send your family's demigod, Emperor
As if seeing through the dukes' resistance, the Acid Dragon Hedwig stood up and said:
"Let's do this."
"Please persuade your knights, and we will continue the assault for two more days."
"If we don't take Verona within two days, each family will send out a demigod, and I and the Illusionary Dragon will lead the charge."
The Dukes had no way to refute His Excellency the Acid Dragon's words. Since the Royal Saxon Family took the lead in sending two demigods, and the major families only needed to send one to the battlefield, if they still hesitated, it would really be cowardice.
