At night, in the newly occupied city.
The leaders of the Holy Egyptian League gathered together.
The meeting was held in a ruined building in the center of the city. This was originally the territory of the Hebrew city lord, and there were even some dried bloodstains on the ground.
But no one cares about that.
Here, Marasia, Arthas, Montezuma, Bigtik, the Succubus, the Barbarian King and the Goliath Giant all gathered here.
Of course, the giant Goliath stayed on the broken, open side of the stone fortress so that it could accommodate his huge body.
And Malacia, at this time, slowly spoke.
"Gentlemen, the five cities of Philistia have been temporarily occupied by the Holy Egyptian Alliance."
"This is the glory of the Holy Egyptian Alliance, it is our glory!"
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh will surely be proud of us!"
Malacia paused, then continued.
"Our next target is the city of Laji."
“It is located about 40 kilometers southwest of Jerusalem and is a key location leading to the Hebrew heartland.”
"This city is like a gate to the heart of the Hebrew Empire. If we take it, we can continue to advance!"
"So, we have to take it down!"
She turned to the giant Goliath and said, "Goliath, what do you know about Lachish? Tell me about the city."
The Goliath nodded slightly and spoke slowly.
"Rach is not an ordinary city, it is a fortress city with very strong defenses."
"This city was originally built to defend against the Philistines and the ancient Egyptians."
"Its original purpose was to guard against foreign enemies, so this city is very strong."
"The city wall is thirty meters high and made entirely of huge stones. I heard that it seems to be able to resist magic."
"In addition, there is a moat that is 20 meters wide. The water in the river is deep enough to drown your giant elephants."
"Also, there are three main towers in the city, with heavy crossbows on top that can shoot through iron armor."
"Not only that, the city's garrison is also very strong."
"The commander of Lachish is called Joshua, and he is a very cunning man."
When the giant Goliath said this, he paused for a moment, and anger flashed in his eyes.
"My people were trapped there, and the Hebrews slaughtered half of our giants with Lachish's ballistas!"
“The Holy Egyptian Alliance is indeed powerful, but don’t underestimate this man named Joshua.”
Marasia frowned slightly when she heard this.
"A fortress city?"
"I'm afraid this battle will be a fierce one."
Arthas nodded: "That's right, Lord Marasia."
“But how do we solve the problem of Raj’s moat?”
"If that's the case, our elephants and heavy infantry won't be able to charge directly. We have to find a way to fill the river or go around it first."
Montezuma was a little more serious: "I'm afraid filling the river is too slow, King Alsace."
"Our Aztec warriors are good at night attacks. I suggest that we try to send a small team to sneak in and destroy their ballistae."
Bigtik immediately shook his head: "A night attack is too risky, and besides, that is a fortress city."
"I suggest using the power of God to attack the fortress directly."
"Now is the time to use this power."
The crowd did not object immediately at this time. They all knew that without the help of the power of God, it would be almost a pipe dream to capture the city.
Just as Malacia was about to continue speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.
That's the soldier in charge of reconnaissance coming back.
"Master! Dear leaders! We have just returned from our reconnaissance mission in Laji and have new intelligence!"
Marasia motioned for him to stand up: "Okay, go ahead."
But the soldier's expression was slightly frightened.
"The walls of Laji are covered with strange rose-patterned flags, with black flowers on a red background. Perhaps that means the Rose Cult is also stationed here!"
"There are soldiers patrolling the city walls. There are a lot of them. It is estimated that there are at least 5,000 soldiers."
"There is a huge mechanical longbow on the tower. It is bigger than the crossbow we have seen. The arrows are as thick as spears. It seems to be specially designed to deal with our giant elephants!"
When everyone heard this, there was silence for a while.
"That's a crossbow used to deal with giants, but it's also fully capable of dealing with giant elephants."
"Speaking of the giant crossbow...I have something else to report to you all."
At this time, everyone focused their attention on the giant Goliath.
They just listened quietly.
"We also have a giant crossbow. It is in the city of Gath."
"I believe that all the leaders have already seen it, but it seems that because it has no extra arrows and is too heavy, it has not been moved here."
Malacia nodded upon hearing this.
"You are right."
"It would take at least several hundred people to coordinate and move the giant crossbow, and it would have to be pulled by a giant elephant, otherwise it would be impossible to move it at all."
"Besides, without spare arrows, such weapons would do more harm than good to us."
"But why did you mention this suddenly?"
When the giant Goliath heard what the other party said, he quickly added.
"That's not the case, Lord Malacia!"
"The longbow on that giant crossbow is made of precious obsidian."
"Besides, that longbow, only a giant could carry and pull it."
When everyone heard the word obsidian, they all narrowed their eyes slightly.
They knew that it was a valuable material used to make shields and armor for the magic shield soldiers.
And the arrows of that giant crossbow are actually made of obsidian?
"Made of obsidian? That's used to deal with super-large magicians with powerful magic, right?"
"Besides, there is only one arrow. What use can it have?"
But Goliath's next words shocked everyone present.
"That's not an ordinary crossbow."
"The arrows it carries are used to hunt gods."
"That's the God-killing Longbow."
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened.
The first thing they thought of was not what the God-killing Longbow was useful for.
Instead, when they were preparing to attack the city of Gath, they said they wanted to use the power of God.
"If I had used the power of God at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
"Fortunately, we listened to the leader of the Malacia tribe and did not use the power of the gods!"
Bigtik and Montezuma said, with fear in their eyes.
If a god is defeated, it will be a serious matter.
That would mean that for a long time, the gods would be completely disconnected from this civilization.
And the giant Goliath continued.
"Please let our giant carry this longbow over here."
"I think it will definitely be able to provide assistance to the leaders at a critical moment."
