Chapter 1061: Forgotten Tyranny
On the most dangerous of the charges, the silent magic tower still brings considerable psychological pressure. Until they rushed to the gate of the magic tower, the battering ram slammed open the gate with a neat halt, and cheers broke out among the soldiers of the legion. At the same time, the news of the existence of a traitor inside the Tower of the Great Sage spread among the army.
The reason why only a few officers knew about this good news without informing the soldiers at the first time was to avoid the failure of the mole and the large number of casualties, which would cause the morale of the regiment to collapse faster. From seeing a little hope to watching it disillusioned, the strong contrast will indeed make people more desperate.
In this case, let everyone be prepared for sacrifice at the beginning, and then reveal the answer. Instead, it makes people feel that the person who is leading the attack is already in control, and he just needs to follow and pick up the sweet fruits of victory. In this way, courage grows with greed and desire.
Even if the door was smashed open, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. This set is familiar to magicians. It was a not-so-difficult magic, the Dark Realm, with a high-sounding name, but it was just obscuring one's view from seeing beyond the distance of one's arm. It's useless to bring torches.
This level of defense trap can only be regarded as an entry level for the magic tower. If ordinary soldiers break in, I'm afraid they will have to be scrambling for a while before they can get used to it.
But those who rushed into the tower of the great sage before the fight were all proud masters. Even if they don't dispel the effects of this magic, there are many ways for them to move freely in the dark realm. So the people in front didn't care, and under the command of the officer, they broke into the magic tower.
And the army's battle against the magic tower, as long as it can attack the tower, the victory or defeat is known. Because there are many traps in the magic tower, it can still work wonders against a small number of opponents, such as a team of adventurers of five to six people. However, if the army is the opponent, just by using the method of piling up corpses, you can overcome most of the difficulties, and finally kill the tower master under the sword.
At this stage, regardless of whether there were early casualties or not, it would be easy for the attackers who were holding back their strength to take the magic tower in one go. So as long as they can enter the tower, everyone is convinced that victory is in hand. The difference is how much loot they can get in this victory.
Even in the regular army, sometimes the generals will use indulgence to stimulate the morale of the army; Not to mention their improvised legion. Basically, as long as something goes into a private pocket, it is impossible to spit it out. The wealth in the Tower of the Great Sage was mainly transported from all over the southwest of the Lost Land a few years ago in order to defend against the invasion of the Abyss.
It was supposed to be an outpost against the invasion of the Abyss, and I don't know how long it would last, so the materials gathered at that time were quite large. But because the battle was hasty, on the day it opened, the gate of the abyss was closed again; And the Lost Land Army did not have many casualties, so there was no need for compensation. The materials that have not had time to be consumed, those that are easy to transport and rare, are returned to the donors.
As for those things that are not easy to transport, or do not have much value, and choose to transport them back and are more expensive, they are all left to the Great Sage's Tower as a war reserve. After all, the area where the Abyss Gate had been opened was easy for the demons to open again. Everyone left supplies to prepare for the future.
The items that were left behind might have been seen as chicken ribs at the time, and the donors were reluctant to take them away. But it doesn't mean that there are no good things that are high-priced for ordinary people.
And army robbery is like locusts crossing the border, but as long as there is a little value, it will be dug up and stolen away, and it will become the spoils of war for soldiers. This is also the reason why this crusade against the Great Sage's Tower can recruit so many mages.
In addition to the money given by the Sijia branch in charge of the new president, the association did not take any of the floating wealth of the Great Sage's Tower. As long as the soldiers do not fight each other because of the scramble, whoever grabs something, that thing belongs to whoever owns it. The Mage's Guild only needs that magic tower, the most precious of things.
So with victory in sight, the soldiers rushed into the tower one after another. For fear that if you are one step slower than others, the most valuable things will be snatched away by others first.
The two armies of magicians rushed into the tower. Although they are auxiliaries, there are many followers of the magician, and these people, under the hint of their master, intentionally or unintentionally, also rush into the magic tower.
As long as someone starts, someone will follow. In the end, the Great Sage Tower, which opened its gates, was like a robber's feast, and everyone rushed in to grab a seat and take some advantage.
Not to mention the madness of the soldiers, even some low-ranking officers fell into the atmosphere of revelry. Only the few who led the war, and the real rulers, spat unceremoniously on the ground for the greed shown by their subordinates.
Perhaps some of these people regretted allowing the soldiers to collect the booty. But now, the wild horse that has taken off the reins is not so easy to tame. Everyone can only wait for the battle to end, someone will come out with the head of the damned tower master, and then use harsh means to resume this disorderly behavior.
But...... How many people rushed in? That small three-story magic tower, I have never heard of any special space technology that can expand the capacity of the tower. Under normal circumstances, let alone a thousand people, I am afraid that three or five hundred people standing side by side in the tower would be able to squeeze until no one could see the floor.
However, the reality was that more than half a legion, including the 2,000 mage soldiers, rushed into the tower and fell silent. No one came out of that tower again, and naturally no one knew what was going on inside the tower.
When the madness passed, all the people who remained outside looked at each other. They were at a loss as to what to do, not knowing whether to continue rushing into the tower and face the unknown danger, or simply go home, as if nothing had happened today.
When the top of the Great Sage's Tower condensed the light and shadow of five upright six-pointed star magic arrays, the remaining soldiers of the legion exploded. Most of them had been involved in the Abyss Invasion a few years earlier, and of course they had seen for themselves how the farce would end. For the conspicuous preparation for the attack of the Great Sage's Tower, there is no one who is not impressed.
It's just that...... This time, they were the enemies.
The originally high morale collapsed to the bottom in an instant. The mage officers who had not yet broken into the tower could not restrain the behavior of the soldiers. Even these officers did not think to restrain the soldiers, and everyone turned around and fled.
But the two-legged one, even if he adds an acceleration auxiliary magic to himself, can't outrun the light bullet attack of the Great Sage's Tower. Their actions only put them under attack behind their backs, leaving a mark of shame at the end of their lives.
The rolling six-pointed star magic array is like a six-barreled Grimm machine gun-style attack, which can fire 3,000 to 4,000 guided light bullets per minute. This means that the Great Sage's Tower, from the very beginning, was at full strength, slaughtering the remaining half of the legions.
In less than a minute, there was no living mouth around the Great Sage's Tower, only corpses. Just like the days when it was raging in the past, there was no injury, only killing, and the image of the people was feared with blood.
