"Connected to other underground water veins, the power of nature can wash away the curse entrenched in this land. But to be on the safe side, it is best not to drink Qiaoya's water in the past two days."

"There is an independent water vein not far outside the city, which is enough for the army." The person responsible for purifying the water source is of course Hohenheim.

In addition to being an army magician, he can even serve as an army doctor.

Kazama nodded slightly. In addition to Hohenheim, Kazama was also surrounded by Spartacus, Avis Bronn, Bai Mian, and Lancelot.

Now all the servants summoned by Humanity are gathered in the legion.With the addition of the most elite United Roman Legions and the Solemn Knights, this camp is nothing short of luxurious.

If he had such power when he just walked out of the Forbidden Land, then facing the Three Stone City, it would be the result of a direct push.

"There is still no movement from Yanan..."

The distance between Qiao Ya and Yanan is very close, even if they walk, they are only an hour away.It stands to reason that Yanan would be able to detect such a big movement of settling in Qiao Ya.

After the last temptation of Archbishop Lawrence of the Healing Church, Kazama determined that Yanan was preparing something now, and most of his energy was attracted by Gen.

Yanan's reaction deepened Kazama's thoughts. Perhaps Yanan was attracted more energy by what they were planning than imagined.

The army has just settled in Qiaoya. What they need to do now is to settle down here and at the same time transform and strengthen the city defense to serve as a stronghold.

There are generals who are good at fighting, not to mention Lancelot, who is full of command and combat effectiveness.Everything about setting up camp was going on in an orderly manner.

At noon, Arash, who led a team of scouts to investigate Yanan's situation, returned to the military camp.

Arash, who possesses clairvoyance, is absolutely invincible as a scout.Just like the eye of the sky, things far away can be clearly reflected in the eyes.

"Some trouble..."

Just after returning, Arash went straight to the city lord's palace to report the situation without even stopping for a moment's rest.There was a serious expression on the bronze face.

"I took a look at Yharnam...first of all, its gates."

The construction of Yannan City is different from the classical city-states like the Three Stone City, and there are no bloated facilities like the outer city.

Instead, relying on the valley, thick stone walls and metal gates were built at the only ridge entrance to the valley.

It can be said that it is a standard situation that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as it relies on the defense of the city wall, it can easily resist dozens of times the enemy's attack.

But the trouble Arash mentioned was not that, on the contrary...

"There are no guards on the city wall. Even if we attack here, there will be no obstruction. As long as we use siege equipment to open the solid city gate, we will immediately open it."

"The trouble lies behind the city gate..."

Urban construction after the Middle Ages gave rise to castles and fortress buildings.A moat will be built to block enemy attacks.

The defense system of Yannan City is quite special, except for the tall and thick city walls built based on the terrain.Behind the city wall is the 'moat'.

It is actually a valley with a height difference of more than 30 meters, and leading to the interior of Yanan is a [-]-meter stone bridge.

"But the stone bridge was destroyed...the only road in and out of Yharnan was destroyed."

Arash's words surprised everyone present.

That bridge is the only way Yanan leads to the outside world. Blowing up the bridge not only blocks the only way for foreign enemies to invade, but also blocks its own way out.

"You did it so decisively..."

Yanan could obviously defend for a long time relying on the city wall, but he gave up resolutely, as if he wanted to use all his power in one place.

As for destroying the bridge, Yanan's purpose was not to stop foreign enemies, but simply to delay time.

"If the city wall is breached, how long will it take to repair the bridge?"

Kazama asked Avisbronn.

If Hohenheim was serving as a marching doctor, then Avisbron was the chief engineer.By making a large number of golems, you can create fortifications in various environments.

There are topographic and architectural drawings of the city of Yharnam on the human side. Relying on the drawings, Avisbron considered the needs for construction.

"Three days... The location of that bridge is quite special. Even if it is to build a temporary Resolute Bridge, it will take at least three days."

"Three days..."

Kazama frowned and looked at Arash again:

"Arash, what else have been discovered through observation? Is there any other way to Yharnan?"

"I'm sorry, Master Kazama, as far as I can see, there is no more."

"The city is located at a key transportation link between Slaver's Bay and the continent."

"Although it is possible to go around to the rear by sea, it is not suitable for launching an attack. Moreover, taking the sea route also takes time."

While Kazama was thinking about his choice, from the corner of his eye he saw the cold-faced huntress slowly raising her arm:

"I have a piece of information here..."

Chapter 164 Secret Road

Everyone's eyes focused on the crow hunter Erin.

Erin was the only Aboriginal participant in this meeting.As a hunter who is familiar with Yanan's situation, she certainly has this qualification.

Being focused on by so many eyes, Irene suddenly felt a little embarrassed and nervous.

Ever since her lycanthropic features faded away, she no longer wore the Sharp-billed Crow mask.

However, suddenly taking off the mask also brought some sequelae. For example, Miss Irene had some mild social fears.

But now Erin's embarrassment is not due to social fear, but from the people in the room.

Two unfathomable master spellcasters, a top assassin with an obscure aura, and three powerful warriors.

Except for Spartacus, who he had fought against before, Arash and Lancelot were the only ones he had met not long ago.But the feeling the latter two brought to her was even more oppressive than Spartacus's.

This force from the Forbidden Land was more powerful than she imagined.

It wasn't until the young lord, the master of these powerful men, spoke that Irene's embarrassment eased slightly.

"Please tell me...Miss Erin."

Eileen nodded slightly: "Normally speaking, there is really only one way to connect to the outside world..."

Irene escaped from Yharnam via that road, escaping by deceiving the guards at the city walls.

"However, there has always been a saying in Yanan City that there is a secret passage connecting to the outside world somewhere in Yanan."

Fengjian listened quietly. It wasn't until Irene paused that he spoke:

"Is that a difficult road to follow? Or should we say that there are only clues, but we haven't really found them yet?"

Otherwise, there would be no need for Eileen to take the dangerous path when leaving Yanan.

"Yes..."

Eileen nodded and said:

"I think the credibility of this statement is very high, and I have explored it before."

"It's just that that road is in the lower city of Yanan."

Yharnam recognized slavery in the Three Stones and purchased slaves.But there are actually no slaves in Yharnam.

But even if there were no slaves, there was another class model, and free people who looked like slaves were not uncommon.

Yanan built a city based on the valley, and the internal topography is quite different. The area on the slope is the upper city, and the area down the slope is the lower city.Xiacheng District is shrouded in darkness all year round, with no sunlight.

Generally speaking, the hunters' work scope is in the upper city area, and the lower city area is rarely involved.

"The lower city is very dangerous. Although the teacher will regularly lead us to the lower city to clean up the beast shifters. But the beast shifters in the lower city cannot be eliminated completely."

"In other words, everyone in the lower city is potential, a poor person who is only one step away from being a human to a beast."

Everyone in Yanan is burdened with the curse of lycanthropy, and the only thing that can suppress the curse is the potion produced by the Healing Church.This is also the reason why the Healing Church’s position in Yanam City is unshakable.After all, the church that controls the potion has a hold on everyone's life.

However, the production of pharmaceuticals is limited after all, and demand exceeds supply, so it is destined to be impossible to distribute evenly.Under order, people at the bottom of the class would naturally have difficulty obtaining this life-saving medicine.

"So, even if the possibility of that road being there is high, I wouldn't dare go there."

The further you go into the lower city, the more lycanthrope beasts you will find. Although Irene is a hunter who specializes in dealing with beasts, she will still suffer from the attacks of multiple beasts at the same time.

"I know the general direction of the road there. Perhaps we can take that road. Enter Yharnam from the outside."

Fengjian nodded slightly.

The information Erin said is valuable, but there are two issues to consider.

One is the specific location of that road.

Since Irene knew the general direction, it would be easy to ask Arash to search there. If there was one, Arash would definitely be able to see it.

The second problem is that that road must be very dangerous.

The hostile force you may encounter when walking through the main entrance is the hunter organization of Yanan.

More than three hundred extraordinary warriors with at least one baptismal power.

It is very difficult for ordinary armies, but the solemn knights in the formation can handle it.

According to Irene, even hunters would not dare to go deep into the depths of the Lower City even if they were dispatched en masse.This means that the threats that may be encountered on that road will definitely exceed the hunter organization of Yanan.

Now two choices are before Kazama.

One is to break through the main gate, then let Avisbron repair the strong beam, and then directly attack it.

This choice will be relatively easy, but it will waste at least three days.

The second option is to directly look for the secret road that Irene mentioned.

If it really connects to Yanan City, it will take at most half a day to arrive.Of course, while it saves time, going that route is certainly more difficult.

Choose time or choose difficulty...

Kazama didn't think about it for long before he made his decision. He chose time.

Yanan's approach is to buy time. Kazama still doesn't know what Yanan wants to do, but as an enemy, it must be what the other party wants, and he cannot get what he wants.

Moreover, Kazama had a hunch that if Yanan really completed his arrangement, the subsequent troubles would definitely be greater than this choice.

After thinking about this, Kazama nodded to Arash: "Arash, I'm going to trouble you again."

"It's within my responsibilities, no trouble..."

Arash smiled, then looked at Irene:

"Miss Eileen, I would like to ask you to accompany me for a while."

"After all, time waits for no one. This war is a race against time. We have to hurry up."

Afterwards, Arash took Erin and left the camp again, and returned again after an hour or two. This time, the news Arash brought back was good.

"There is indeed a small road. The road is a bit winding, and there are some man-made obstacles built a long time ago. It's just that it's very old and can be broken through easily."

"That road is very small. It is absolutely impossible to let a legion enter it. Only a small elite force can be sent."

"I see."

Since that path really exists and the choice has been made, Kazama will naturally not hesitate anymore.

"Just take the Solemn Knights and a few others with you, and we will go together when the time comes."

"Start preparing the necessary supplies and set off early tomorrow morning."

"As for the remaining legions... attack the city gate in front and be ready to respond at any time."

Kazama gave the order, and then looked at Irene:

"Miss Eileen, we need you to be with us tomorrow too."

Erin nodded: "This is natural. I hope you can lead me to defeat the Healing Church, obtain the real truth, and find a way to unlock this curse."

Chapter 165 Distorted Ecology

Yanan's attack battle will be a tough battle, Kazama has such a premonition, and it is also true.

The beast shifter curse in Yanan is deeper than the one spread by Qiao Ya. Under the influence of some high-level power, the beast shifters there will be even more powerful.

After the lycanthropes there is the armed force of the Healing Church, the Hunter Organization.According to Irene, the leader of the hunter organization and her teacher was a strong man who had completed three secret medicine baptisms.This is already the limit of the human race, touching the upper limit of bloodline.

Erin thought she could convince her teacher that as long as the truth about lycanthropy was revealed, the Holy Sword Ludwig would be willing to switch sides and help humanity deal with the Healing Church.

Kazama refused to comment on this.Perhaps the Healing Church has hidden itself well over the past few hundred years.No one knows it was the source of the Yharnam disaster.But now that Yanan's plan has been launched, it cannot be hidden from the knowledgeable people in Yanan.
