Chapter 354: The Castle Built on the Mountain

In a short while.

The terrain had been transformed, and the rules of the world were stabilized again.

However, in this desert, the only oasis had undergone an earth-shaking change!

The soft and dense sand layer had turned into solid rock layers, which rose directly from the underground rock layers. The protruding surface of the ground turned into a mountain mausoleum, just like an open palm, placing a castle at the top.

“Drondheim” castle, once a military fortress by the oasis, had now turned into a fortress at the peak of the mountain.

The rock layer that rose from the underground turned into a hill.

It was like a base.

The cliff that was close to 90 degrees was more than 10 meters high, as if it was cut by a knife or an axe.

At the top of this cliff, there was also a wide and thick city wall that was 10 meters high. There were towers that were 15 meters high and arrow towers that were 20 meters high. In addition, there was a wooden attic built at the top of the city wall, which made it even more difficult to climb.

In fact, the rock wall that appeared at the bottom of the castle could not be climbed by humans.

Even a top-notch climbing master could not do it.

Moreover, on the top of the city wall, on the towers, and arrow towers, the crossbowmen of Swadia, the archers of Veruga, and the light infantrymen who were armed with swords and shields were all ready for battle.

The civilians carried stones and heavy logs that were neatly polished.

There was also an iron pot that could be heated to pour hot oil at any time.

Of course, this method was obviously not very effective against the undead. However, it was effective against enemies who had blood, flesh, and nerves. They knew the feeling of pain.

The effect of pouring hundreds of degrees of hot oil into the gaps of the armor was even better than beating rocks and smashing wood.

If it was a bit more brutal.

After heating up the fecal water, they poured it down.

Not only would it be drenched until the skin was split open, the subsequent infection would also be fatal!

A certain ancient country on earth’s “Golden Juice”, which had never failed, would be able to resist a large number of enemy troops if used properly. After all, not everyone was willing to get close to the stinky, scalding feces.

And now, even if it was not of much use to the undead, just the heights alone was not something that the undead could climb up.

Those skeletons were just skeletons.

Their individual strength was extremely weak.

The most ordinary skeletons could not even defeat the most ordinary peasant.

For example, the skeleton cavalry that ambushed the posthouse of the salt mine did not cause much of a result even when the Swdian man-at-arms did not notice it. They were even surrounded by the heavy cavalry and fought their way out alive.

Furthermore, as the heavy cavalry chased after them, they fought and retreated. Even their formation did not fall apart.

Although the undead did not have any restrictions of fatigue.

However, due to the lack of flesh and blood and nerves, they did not have any explosive force.

During the war, the Swadian man-at-arms rode their horses and easily shook off the undead cavalry. After resting for a while, they faced the enemy and continued to break out of the encirclement in a stalemate. That was how they left and returned.

But now, the castle that had been successfully transformed into the Oasis Lookout was not something that regular troops could capture.

The 10-meter-long hill was closely attached to the base of the city wall.

The entirety of the four walls were steep cliffs.

There were only two sides to the southeast, a 5-meter-wide and 20-meter-long ramp in the direction of the city gate.

The slope was very steep.

The 20-meter-long ramp rose directly to the top of the 10-meter-long cliff.

Even if it was paved with stone slabs, it was very troublesome for an ordinary fully loaded truck to climb up this slope. It required the help of a pulling force at the front or a pushing force at the back.

The castle was a military complex. Everything was for military considerations.

Such a steep slope meant that it was difficult to attack.

Not only was it an upward attack.

Even if they reached the bottom of the city gate, they would not be able to effectively attack the city gate!

The steep slope made it impossible for the siege weapons to stop. Even if they used a fixed method, they would have to bear the attack if they wanted to break through the city gate. They would not be able to use their best strength on flat ground.

The biggest possibility was that they would be destroyed during the attack.

The defenders on the city gate looked down from above.

Whether it was throwing combustibles or releasing rockets, it was easy.

It could be said that Kant’s “Drondheim” castle had completely become the most terrifying military fortress. Even if tens of thousands of elite troops attacked, as long as they had a small number of troops and a large number of resources, they could defend the city forever.

As for the water source, the spring that connected to the water elemental plane was constantly emitting the sweetest fresh water.

The excess spring water was left behind in the drainage hole that the city wall had specially opened.

It was like a waterfall.

It easily poured into the original lake under the west side of the city wall and the cliff.

There was no problem with the pre-built water channel, including the agricultural area and the livestock area within the Oasis Lookout. Perhaps the only difference was that they have changed from relying on the city wall to relying on the cliff.

However, it had increased to a height of 20 meters, making this place an insurmountable natural moat!

Not to mention the Nahrin desert, which had a cruel and complicated environment.

Even if it was a plain with a good environment and sufficient logistical supplies, they would still be helpless against this castle built on a cliff. There was simply no possibility of conquering it!

Even the city gates on both sides of the southeast and the ramps that were 5 meters wide and 20 meters long would have to be piled up with human lives.

However, it was more likely.

Perhaps it was because countless elite infantrymen had died, and they had just smashed open the city gates and destroyed it, causing them to fall into a new kind of despair.

There was still a city gate inside the city gates, but the attacks they suffered were twofold!

This was because Kant had built an urn city, and on the walls of the urn city, there were arrow towers and turrets. He could deploy more archers at any time, and in an instant, arrows rained down like torrential rain!

He even dug a pit in the urn city, causing the troops that attacked the city gate to suffer even more serious losses.

For example, there were sharp spears and wooden thorns all over the bottom of the pit.

Or, there were firewood that had been poured with grease. He could casually throw a torch, and it would turn into a fire dragon that would engulf the inner side of the urn city.

He also lowered the backup iron gate at the top of the city gate, cutting off the connection between the inside and the outside. Basically, the troops that attacked from the inside were like fish on a chopping board. The troops that had to attack from the outside would also have to continue to suffer even more casualties.

Kant carried out the concept of city defense in ancient and modern times and arranged for it to be built.

He added a special method from the fantasy plane.

Even if they were facing an army of a million people, as long as there weren’t any extraordinary powers or extraordinary creatures that were too excessive to be restrained, then the castle built on the mountain peak was equivalent to a peerless fortress that was absolutely safe!

No one could directly attack and take down this castle.

Kant was confident.

Even if he did not care about casualties and continued to attack, he would not be able to do so.

A 20-meter defense height.

A well-built and well-supplied castle.

Not to mention the era of fancy cold weapons, even in the modern era when gunpowder weapons were used, digging a large number of trenches or constructing underground fortresses and relying on cold weapons such as bows and crossbows would suffice to defend.

Kant already had all three.

He raised his head.

In the sky, the Nalan Sun disk also rose with the castle.

At the top of the towering watchtower, a gentle sun was suspended there, as if waiting quietly.

But as long as evil showed up, the blazing purification from the sun would instantly sprinkle down, purifying all evil enemies, and expelling any foreign troop class that did not belong to Kant’s force.

From the looks of it, “Drondheim” had already been raised to the limit!

“Come.”

Kant inhaled slightly, his heart very calm.

He still maintained his god’s perspective.

He looked towards the north. At the end of the horizon, there was a faint black color spreading, seemingly in this direction. It was boundless and covered an extremely large area.

The archers of Veruga who were guarding the watchtower had also noticed the abnormal situation.

The news was quickly passed down.

In the direction of the four city walls, the archers who were half-resting and half-on-guard had received the order. They quickly got up and returned to their posts. They looked towards the north or at their respective garrisons with vigilance. They had entered a state of war.

Even the bell tower had already sounded the urgent bell.

The curtain of death!
