City-State Supremacy: The Deluded Monarch

Because he was good at gaming, Xia Zhe was able to transmigrate to an ancient city-state world and became the king of a small city-state.

However, he soon discovered that being a king was a h...

Chapter 52: The Flames of Hell

These infantrymen all look very imposing and indeed have the demeanor of a great power.

The most eye-catching among them was a team of heavy infantry armed with several-meter-long spears and huge silver shields.

Their weapons were so exaggerated, and each of them looked so sturdy that one would never want to look away after just one glance.

"Is that the legendary Silver Shield Spearman?"

Xia Zhe speculated and swallowed a biscuit with a crunch.

We're all going to die anyway, so we might as well take a look at something new.

This calm attitude made the Prime Minister, who had just returned to the terrace and was planning to report the entire defense situation to the king in detail, sigh again.

"Your Majesty, our army's deployment has been completed. Please listen to my detailed introduction..." said the Prime Minister.

"No need to say more! Just do whatever you want! Don't disturb me from watching the show!" Xia Zhe raised his hand to interrupt the Prime Minister.

I say, you traitor, what are you doing?

After all this trouble, won’t you die in the end?

Instead of wasting time on you, I might as well enjoy my last days!

The king doesn't listen to my report!

The king let me figure it out myself!

If the Prime Minister hadn't seen Xia Zhe so calm, he would have thought that the king had given up!

Of course Wang didn’t give up!

He showed great trust in me as the Prime Minister!

The Prime Minister originally thought that he and Archimedes were the only ones in the city who were confident in defending the city.

Because only two people know the true power of Greek fire!

However, seeing that the king was so casual in handing over the command to him, the Prime Minister became a little uncertain.

Does Wang really know nothing?

If Wang Ruo knew nothing, why did he support me so firmly that day?

Could it be that Wang simply felt that this battle was a foregone conclusion and that winning would be easy?

So, is that why you are so free and easy?

"May I ask you, my king. Are you aware of the power of Greek fire?"

Thinking this in his mind, the Prime Minister asked subconsciously.

The Prime Minister regretted the words as soon as they came out of his mouth.

You can try to figure out the king's thoughts, but you must never let him know you're trying!

I was also facing a powerful enemy and was too nervous, so I spoke out of turn.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? You don't know the power of Greek fire, and I would exchange it for a big city? Go away and deal with your Greek fire! If you waste my time here again, I will make you pay!" Xia Zhe said angrily.

Greek fire, that was the ultimate weapon for defending the city in that game.

No matter how powerful a legion is, it will collapse instantly under the attack of Greek fire.

I agreed to exchange cities with the Treae envoy just to make a fuss.

But deep down, I also wanted to see the real power of Greek fire and satisfy my eyes.

Now that he was about to die, the Prime Minister reminded him of this, and this thought became even stronger.

While Xia Zhe was telling the Prime Minister to open fire quickly with some annoyance, he was staring closely at the outside of the city wall.

He saw that the Macedonian army had completed its battle array and was about to launch an attack.

"Yes! I understand! I'll go right away!"

After hearing Xia Zhe's words, the Prime Minister instantly became happy.

Sure enough, Wang knew it from the beginning!

Greek fire has been in Wang's plan since the decision was made to introduce it!

Wang knew very well what happened afterwards!

In that case, what is there to hesitate about?

Just do it!

Give me ten thousand and burn him ten thousand!

Give me 100,000 and burn him for 100,000!

Burn until the Macedonian army collapses!

After a hasty bow and departure, the Prime Minister quickly rushed to the center of the city, to the top floor of the tall clock tower!

A large number of observers, messengers, and staff officers had already gathered there. Archimedes, the inventor of Greek fire, also stood there with an excited look on his face.

As for the generals, they had already climbed up the four city walls and were commanding close to the city.

"Two enemy phalanxes of 10,000 people are approaching area No. 7 in the south of the city!" an observer reported.

"Greek fire No. 35 and No. 36, fire from the front! Greek fire No. 34 and No. 37, sweep the enemy's flanks!" The Prime Minister ordered calmly.

"Remember! When firing from the front, burn from the front to the back! When sweeping the wings, burn from the outside to the inside!" Archimedes added.

"Understood!"

The messenger answered loudly, and then began to issue orders using flag signals and the sound of bells and drums.

boom……

Received the order, four-step Greek fire, start firing!

Like giant flamethrowers, the Greek fire's huge black barrels spewed out flames that were hundreds of meters long, continuously.

With the help of the tall towers of Stobi, the flames poured down, covering the center and both wings of the two legions of 10,000 people who were preparing to attack the city.

Ah…, ah…

Thick smoke billowed and wailing was heard everywhere!

The scene was simply horrific!

One or two thousand Macedonian warriors were burned to ashes in an instant and fell down in large numbers!

What’s even more terrifying is that the retreat route of 20,000 people has been blocked by two huge tongues of fire.

And in front of them was a towering city wall.

The soldiers who were burned to death at the beginning were actually lucky.

The rest of the people could only watch the flames burn towards them, without any way to deal with it.

He couldn't even make the shameful choice of running away!

The despair that came from the heart turned into sharp howls, irritating the nerves of soldiers on both sides in the distance!

The high morale of the Macedonian soldiers lined up far away outside the city instantly dropped to freezing point.

Oh my god!

Is this still a human weapon?

It is clearly the underworld fire sent down by Hades, the god of the underworld!

How can a mortal possibly contend with the flames of hell?

I thought that killing Stoby would be like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, and it would definitely be an easy task!
