Chapter 667 Siege of Baiqiao City
While the Grand Duke of Cheese and his entourage were still discussing matters in the council hall, the counter-offensive force of the Kingdom's army had already arrived outside White Chocolate City and surrounded this strategic location.
"All units are ready and can launch an attack at any time..."
Inside a military camp at the heart of the army, a Sweetheart officer is reporting the battlefield situation to Lieutenant Colonel Macaron, the supreme commander of the battle.
Because Marshal Carlo needed to be stationed in the capital to oversee the overall situation, under his appointment, Lieutenant Colonel Macaron was promoted several ranks to become a general in this battle, as he was tasked with leading the allied insect demons to change the battlefield situation. He will also command this battle to bring victory to the kingdom.
The kingdom has given him a total of 4 available troops and countless pieces of equipment, all in order to ensure victory in this battle.
As for this important battle, Admiral Macaron naturally dared not slack off and began to seriously plan the battle.
First, it is necessary to investigate the enemy's strength, and Admiral Macaron naturally has his own special methods for this.
"Report, they're here..."
With a report, several figures dressed entirely in white and looking incredibly light slowly flew into the military tent from outside.
Humans, one of the kingdom's minority groups, can fly to heights that are difficult for ordinary people to reach due to their lighter bodies. Although they are not strong in combat, this ability alone allows them to carry out many reconnaissance missions.
According to reports, the White Chocolate Factory is stationed with approximately 20,000 troops, which is far fewer than theirs in terms of sheer numbers.
However, General Macaron knew that in a siege, the defenders would have to commit far fewer troops than the attackers, and the natural advantage that the city walls gave them allowed them to win with fewer troops.
Therefore, even though your forces are twice the size of the enemy's, it's hard to say whether you can actually win in a real battle.
Moreover, there is also the special unit of Toothworms here, making the battlefield extremely unpredictable. If one is not careful, one could fall into an abyss of no return.
Therefore, General Macaron had to carefully deploy his forces, not to guarantee absolute victory, but at least to greatly increase the odds of winning.
Fortunately, although the opposing side had terrifying Fang Bugs, they also had a special support force. Thinking of this, General Macaron couldn't help but look at the bored Bug Captain beside him.
"The attack is about to begin. Are your men ready?"
"Don't worry, we're not the kind of people who drag their feet..."
After receiving the insect captain's reply, General Macaron breathed a sigh of relief. He knew how important the insect demons had been in the battles along the way.
It's fair to say that without those insect demons, it would have been impossible to achieve those victories, let alone launch a counterattack.
Therefore, the help from the insect demons is irreplaceable.
"Speaking of which, I don't recall seeing your lord?"
During this period of battle, the insect demons gathered in greater and greater numbers, and General Macaron only then realized that the one commanding them was not the tall figure in front of him, but a mysterious figure dressed in black robes who was rarely seen.
This guy rarely interacted with them, and he hadn't met General Macaron much either. All they knew was that he was the commander of those insect demons, but he rarely got involved in combat matters.
But this is almost the final battle, and the opponent still hasn't shown up. That's a bit strange.
"You don't need to know the master's whereabouts; he has his own things to do. You just need to launch the attack. As for the battle, we'll help you..."
The insect captain didn't seem to have any intention of explaining the leader's whereabouts, which left General Macaron somewhat helpless. However, he quickly let it go, since for this battle, having one more or one less person didn't make much difference.
In his view, one person's efforts could not change the entire course of the battle, so there was no need to worry about it too much...
"Alright, the mission has been assigned. This will be a decisive battle. I hope everyone will give it their all and defeat all the rebels from those cholera-ridden countries!"
"Attack!"
As soon as General Macaron uttered his last words, the entire besieging force quickly sprang into action. With the army pressing in, the rebels inside the city felt a sense of pressure.
"They're here..."
A garrison officer, peering through binoculars at the advancing troops, grew serious. They knew they had to act quickly once the enemy began their attack.
As orders were issued, the city defense troops quickly began to move into action, and almost the instant they took their positions, a huge cannonball was fired from a distance.
boom! ! ! ! !
With the deafening roar of exploding cannonballs, the decisive battle that would determine the fate of the kingdom began.
As the attacking side, General Macaron and his men naturally spared no effort in their attack, bombarding the walls of White Chocolate City with cannonballs, while the enemy retaliated in kind.
For a time, the city walls were also engulfed in a hail of cannon fire, with the constant buzzing of bombs. Although White Chocolate City was inferior to its opponent in terms of the number of cannons, as a military stronghold, White Chocolate City naturally had its own unique advantages.
That was his incredibly sturdy city wall. Even when hundreds or thousands of cannonballs bombarded the wall, it remained standing without suffering much damage.
It was obvious that taking over this city would not be easy, but General Macaron was very patient. He had brought a lot of shells this time, enough to clear out the city before the battle even began.
To put it bluntly, war is the art of firepower; the greater the firepower, the stronger the combat power.
However, both the attacking Macaron side and the defending rebel side possessed considerable firepower, and in theory, they should have been engaged in a prolonged exchange of fire.
Unexpectedly, in this protracted battle, the defending side couldn't hold back any longer.
Click!
With a loud bang, the gates of White Chocolate City opened, and swarms of Toothworms poured out, launching an attack on the enemy's positions.
The tooth worm only reveals its powerful strength when it attacks, especially when its numbers reach a certain scale, it can be equivalent to an offensive tank force.
As the final battle, the number of tooth-toothed worms that appeared this time was greater than all the previous battles combined. Countless tooth-toothed worms kept rushing out of the city, which looked quite terrifying.
Upon witnessing this horrifying scene, the Sweethearts were momentarily stunned into stopping, but General Macaron quickly made a decision, ordering his special reinforcements to intervene in the battle.
