Winner Takes All novel Chapter 899

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.

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!
