There is more than one wall of Ken Fortress.

The walls of the entire fortress are ladder-shaped.

There are three lines of defense, that is, three city walls.

The outer city wall is the lowest, only fifty meters.

The second wall is twice as high as the outer wall.

The third wall is even higher, three times the length of the outer wall.

In fact, the second and third city walls were built to the same height as the first wall.

It’s just that the second city wall was built halfway up the mountain.

The height appears higher.

Subhuman coalition camp.

In a large tent.

"Ken Fortress is really tough. How should we fight this war?"

Zhu Dajin, who was sitting at the long table, looked at the commanders of the ratmen.

There are many commanders among the ratmen.

There were thirteen of them.

Each person represents a clan.

if you can.

Zhu Dajin never wants to sit at the same table with the Rat Man in his life.

He hated the rat-men.

Hate for no reason.

"Humans are not fools. Once the battle begins, the bridge over the moat will definitely be blown up. Without that bridge, the siege tower will never be able to get close to the walls of Kane Fortress."

Wolf Howl's attention was focused on the issue of siege.

"Hehe, why not just use magic to build a bridge?"

A Skaven commander suggested.

Margarita shook her head.

"Building a bridge isn't difficult. The moat has plenty of water, so using magic to create a giant ice bridge isn't a difficult task. However, human magicians won't just sit there and watch the ice bridge. They'll definitely find a way to destroy it. We can't completely protect the ice bridge. If the ice bridge is destroyed by human magicians during the siege, we'll suffer tremendous damage."

"Then dig a hole. Dig a tunnel from under the moat to the interior of Kane Fortress."

Digging a hole?

Margarita looked at the ratman commander who made the suggestion.

"how much time is required?"

"It's definitely not enough to dig just one tunnel. We'd have to dig dozens of tunnels, which would take about a month."

Margarita shook her head.

"A month is too long. The food consumed daily by a coalition of nearly 800,000 demihumans is an astronomical figure. Let alone a month, if we fail to capture Kane Fortress in half a month, the human territories we conquer won't be able to afford our logistical supplies. Shipping them from outside the territory is too time-consuming. Without sufficient logistical supplies, the army won't be able to win a quick victory."

"So what should we do? Should we ignore Kane Fortress and use airships to send the army to the Gallic Plains on the other side of Kane Fortress?"

Zhu Dajin was a little annoyed.

This was not the kind of war he liked.

War should be fought head-on.

Both sides should find a flat place to fight.

Margarita shook her head.

"Kane Fortress is heavily guarded by humans. If we ignore Kane Fortress, how will we transport our supplies? Airships alone cannot meet the army's massive logistical supply and transportation needs."

This combat meeting lasted for a long, long time.

By nightfall, the subhuman commander had not yet come up with a good siege strategy.

Ken Fortress is a tough nut to crack.

A head-on attack would come at a terrible price.

Although subhumans don't value their lives as much as humans do.

But I won't waste my life casually.

Meanwhile, at Ken Fortress.

The human side also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Thinking about how to defend against the enemy.

In the meeting hall.

Osmond, the supreme commander of Ken Fortress, was watching the lords quarreling in silence.

There were no nobles in the former Ken Fortress.

Whether it is an officer or the highest commander.

They all came from the Royal Guards.

The nobles on the Gallic plains all knew the importance of the Ken Fortress.

Therefore, after receiving the letter for help from Ken Fortress.

Lords from all over the country led their troops to Ken Fortress for support.

This made the military strength of Fort Ken the largest in history.

There were a total of more than 20 troops from lords from all over the country.

As for the quality of the lords' armies.

Osmond no longer expects any quality.

As long as you can pick up a weapon.

Once the number of people increases, morale will be boosted, right?

"Dong dong!"

Osmond didn't want to listen to the lords' arguments anymore.

This meeting is just a routine meeting.

In order to strengthen the relationship between the lords.

Meet up and get to know each other.

Also confirm the deployment of each lord on the city wall.

The "dong dong" sound of knocking silenced the lords sitting at the long table.

Everyone's eyes turned to Osmond.

"My lords, the only thing we must do now is to defend Kane Fortress with all our might. Kane Fortress is the kingdom's last line of defense. If we can't hold it, your lords' territories will become the primary target of the demihuman coalition. So, please give us your all and don't be stingy with the few gold coins in your pockets. Don't lose sight of the big picture. As long as everyone fights with all their might, I believe we can keep the enemy south of Kane Fortress. If we can hold out for a month, the kingdom's main force will arrive to support Kane Fortress."

Chapter 560 It’s Not That Easy

The war on the Altai Plateau is over.

Osmond had already received the news from there.

The three kingdoms assembled hundreds of thousands of troops.

A large amount of food and money was consumed.

But it didn't bring any results.

Osmond knew it well.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance has lost its hard-earned initiative.

Can only be forced into defense.

At this point, the outcome of the war is no longer important.

Osmond never thought that the Three Kingdoms Alliance had any chance of victory.

Even if the Three Kingdoms Alliance can occupy the Southern Continent, what can it do?

You must know that the Demon Cult rules the entire world.

Osmond never understood what the royal families of the Three Kingdoms were thinking.

Why do such a thing that will destroy the country and the race?

Unless the royal family has a backup plan.

The lords looked at each other.

The expressions on their faces varied.

They thought they were showing sincerity by leading their troops to support Fortress Ken.

They didn't expect that they would be responsible for the logistics of the entire Ken Fortress.

This was difficult for the lords to accept.

This is also why they quarrel.

They can provide money and food to fill the logistical gaps in Kane Fortress.

But how much to take is a matter of debate.

After all, lords are either rich or poor.

If all the lords contributed the same amount of money and food.

The poor lord would have something to say.

But now Osmond asked them to give it their all.

How could they accept this?

That was the wealth they had accumulated over several generations.

How can we plunge into the bottomless pit of war?

But when they thought about the fate of these lords if Ken Fortress was breached.

None of the lords at the long table dared to object.

"My lords, please return to your territories and take charge of the logistics of Ken Fortress. The troops can stay here!"

Osmond gave the lords a way out.

The battlefield is very dangerous.

I just want money and food.

You'd better keep your lives.

Osmond said this.

The lords' eyes lit up.

If they had a choice, they would not be willing to go to the battlefield themselves.

But in order to prevent the royal family from finding an excuse to confiscate the territory later.

They could only lead their troops into battle themselves.

Now we have General Osmond's words.

Then they would have an excuse to stay away from the battlefield.

A lord stood up.

He looked at Osmond with sparkling eyes.

"General Osmond, rest assured. My Henry family will support Ken Fortress even if it means spending all our wealth. I will return to the territory and personally handle the transportation of supplies. General Osmond, rest assured fighting on the front lines. There will be absolutely no logistical problems."
