Chapter 899 Hidden Secret of Thegiant City



Chapter 899 Hidden Secret of Thegiant City

Yarol's words attracted Jack, Debut and Cole's attention.

Only Achilles stood still and smiled.

Four of them laid and looked down from the battlements.

To Jack, Debut and Cole, apart from potholes created by cannon attacked, there was nothing unusual

about the wall.

Yarol touched the rough outer layer of the wall gently and said.

"I knew it that the Dragon Cavalry couldn't have defended a city with cold weapons such as spears and

swords."

"Yarol, what did you mean by that?" Debut asked.

Both Jack and Cole looked at Yarol in puzzlement too.

The Dragon Cavalry was a powerful troop well known for battling using cold weapons, what Yarol was

saying was like a slap on the Dragon Cavalry.

Yarol smiled lightly, his right hand was still touching the wall at the same time wiping off the snow layers

on it.

When all the snows were almost wiped off, visible cracks could be seen on the wall.

Yarol pointed at the cracks and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Thegiant city is transformed into a robotic city

right?"

Robotic city? Jack stunned, he couldn't get it.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Debut and Cole were in puzzlement too.

"Don't play hide and seek, tell us straight, what is a robotic city?"

Debut was a little annoyed and threw a light punch in Yarol's chest. He urged, "The cracks you are

pointing at could be found on almost all the forts and walls in the ancient times."

"Yes, but the cracks here are standardized and neatly arranged in a certain shape."

Yarol smiled, his fingers moved around the cracks under the thin layer of snow and said. "Look at the

cracks I moved my fingers on, it formed a square. What if I tell you that the walls around here could

collapse and then we could see artilleries cannon?"

What? Jack and the other two were shocked.

Jack took a closer look at the shape of Yarol's touch, he then frowned.

Not only the outer wall had numerous potholes caused by artillery fire, but it was also full of cracks.

If one looked at the shape made by Yarol, it was indeed looked like multiple squares that were hidden

under the messy cracks, he wouldn't have noticed if Yarol hadn't mentioned it.

Because those squares were well hidden.

"The robotic city you meant is that Thegiant city is actually manmade, it's built to look like an ancient

building but there is a hidden secret, when the city is attacked, it could fire up thousands of cannon?"

Jack thought and said at the same time.

"Yes, that's right. The entire City was manmade, disregard the city town, the walls surrounding it were

built at an unthinkable cost." Yarol said confidently.

He was a researcher of weapons and machinery in the previous troop, hence, he could utter the words

in confidence.

"Oh crap! If it is really manmade, then Thegiant city is a horrific arsenal?"

"In addition, defence of cold weapons is no doubt no match to hot weapons, I think Yarol made a point

here."

Debut was in awe, Cole on the other hand agreed with Yarol calmly.

At this moment, Achilles who kept silenced came forward and smiled. "Yarol was right, the surrounding

walls were manmade, if the city is under attack, the walls could fire up thousands of artilleries. The

walls consist of any hot weapon that you could think of."

"Nuclear bomb?" Debut blinked and asked Achilles with his eyebrow raised.

Achilles, "..."

What the heck…

But the revelation from Achilles put them at ease.

However, Jack's feeling towards Thegiant city changed.

It was obvious how much effort Zenith put into making Thegiant city the only natural defence in the

northern territory.

This was a natural defence built bit by bit using manpower.

Defending the frontier from all attacks!

The potholes on the outer walls were the results of artillery fires. It showed how many battles Thegiant

city had won after it was built.

"But we won't let the battle enter the town, the normal drill is fighting the opponent outside the frontier."

Achilles added.

Jack rubbed his nose. "This was indeed the battling strategy of The Dragon Cavalry. But why were

there potholes on the wall then?"

Achilles' face stiffened and smiled bitterly. "It was caused by a few huge battles, over ten foreign joint

forces travelled down south and attacked Thegiant city. They wanted to get rid of the obstacle that was

blocking their way to the south!"

Jack nodded. It was the same as the ancient time, attack and takedown each city along the way.

The foreign troops could bypass Thegiant city when they marched south.

But it won't be an easy march, they had to face attacks from three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry

waiting in Thegiant city, along with neighbouring troops.

Hence, taking down Thegiant city was the best way to march south!

Regardless, Achilles' sight made Jack skipped a heartbeat.

To Debut and the two, what Achilles said put them in astonishment, a complete astonishment.

But to Jack, it had a different meaning.

"It only took less than twenty foreign joint forces to attack near the frontier, what about hundreds?"

This was what Jack was thinking.

Coalition Order flashed across his mind out of a sudden.

An ordinary insignia with a hidden meaning behind it. It was like a sword hovering in the air above

Thegiant city, it could fall anytime and destroyed the city!

"Alright, we are done talking, take your position now and begin our 24 hours watch!"

Achilles removed his sight from Jack.

And the group of five each took their position hearing the order.

Regardless of the snowstorm that blurred the vision of the area beyond the wall.

The five of them stood still in their position at the top of the wall.

That was a soldier's job!

Time passed slowly.

Apart from a short mealtime where they sat and rested, Jack and the group stood still on top of the wall

at all time.

Time passed as they stood still.

The night was falling and the temperature dropping.

The body consumed a lot of energy when one stood still for a prolonged period.

With the temperature down, the icing feeling in the body grew stronger.

The freezing winds were like swords slashing on their bodies. While the snowstorm slowly swallowing

them.

Jack had predicted this, even with the beast fur robe on, he was still freezing.

But his stamina allowed him to go on.

While for Debut, Yarol and Cole, with the night falling and the temperature dropping, their endurance

almost hit the limit.

When midnight hit, the snowstorm generated a creepy wheezing sound.

Thick snow kept falling from above.

Jack's entire body was freezing, his right hand holding the long spears was almost frozen. Despite the

handle was specially made but it was still like holding an ice cube in hand.

It was hard even for him. Not to mentioned Yarol and Cole who were weaker, they were shaking in

cold.

Even the big sized Debut cursed. "Fuck! I took it too lightly. It's insanely cold to stand still like this whole

night. It would be great if we could fight."

Whoosh!

The sound of an arrow fired out echoed around the wall.

This sound awakened and alerted Jack and three others.

Jack turned immediately and saw Achilles raise his bow with an arrow aimed at the snowstorm, intent

to kill…
