Chapter 105: Decision (Subscription Requested!) Fourth Update! )
"Nolan, what's going on now?"
Sean asked, a little confused.
It is not uncommon for the city walls to fall, but the city of Lane has not been taken for a long time.
"Hey...... It's not a made by that group of nobles. ”
Nolan frowned a little, "I heard that you lived in Ryan City for a while before, so you should know how complicated this goddamn city is, right?" ”
"The various hidden alleys, and the tunnels that I don't know when, and the civilians who helped hide the defenders......"
"My God, I thought that after taking the city wall, this would be the end of it, but I didn't expect the situation in this city to be even more troublesome, and I don't know how many losses will occur if I attack it."
He sighed softly, looking very helpless.
"That's ......"
Sean replied, then suddenly pondered.
It's a troublesome thing, but it's probably not unsolvable.
There is a way to break the game directly by violence, and no matter what tactics the enemy uses, it will completely fail in the face of absolute power.
This method was very simple, he thought of it at once, and Sean believed that among so many generals present, there must have been many people who had figured out the key to the matter, but no one wanted to be the first to say it.
After that, the discussion went on for a while, and Sean was a little impatient to watch, and almost wanted to take the initiative to lead the conversation to that direction.
Looking at the expressions of this group of guys, it is obvious that they all know it, but they just don't want to take this responsibility, so they pretend not to know.
Finally, seeing that no one had come up with a reliable solution after talking for a long time, Camillo, who was sitting in the center, sighed and spoke helplessly.
"Guys, it's not interesting to push back and forth like this, since everyone is unwilling to take the lead, then it's up to me."
"But I said in advance, when the battle is over, I will take more military merits, is anyone against it?"
He glanced around with his sharp eyes, and the generals of the legions of the Connelly Kingdom nodded one after another, obviously not wanting to continue arguing.
"Very well, in that case, then I am the commander-in-chief of this operation."
Camillo stood up suddenly, his hands slammed on the table, and a bloodlust flashed in his eyes.
"Pass my orders!"
"Set fire!"
"Slaughter the city!"
……
……
With a heavy expression, Sean walked to the city wall.
Stepping on the blood-soaked ground, Sean looked at the mountains in the distance and suddenly sighed.
Although the population of Lane City moved out in large numbers after the war began, even so, there are still hundreds of thousands of civilians in Lane City.
Unlike those of the Connery Kingdom, the Silver Eagle Legion was not an official unit of the state, but a private soldier of the official powerhouse Mikhaili Strickland.
Generals of other legions may also be impeached for fear that others will use it as a justification, or they may be used as scapegoats to quell popular anger, but Camillo is not afraid.
Official-level powerhouses are above ordinary people, and no matter how angry or talked about by others, it is impossible to influence Mikhaili Strickland's decision-making.
Even if Camillo led the massacre and arson, Mikhaili would at most symbolically punish him, and the reason for this punishment was not the massacre, but the destruction of the booty that should have been obtained!
High-level professionals have never taken the lower class people into account, they have great strength and a long life, so why should they care about the attitude of these ants?
Of course, it is impossible for Camillo to agree too quickly, he needs some time to fight for his own interests, no one has too much military merit, as long as this battle is fought beautifully, he can get some extra reward.
However, their behavior still has some impact on Sean.
Because the effect of slaughtering the city alone is not so good, even if there are no civilians to cover it, the enemy army may suddenly jump out of the hidden place to attack.
So they also need the aid of the flame.
After setting everything in the city on fire, the flames will consume the lives of the defenders, and unless they are professionals, ordinary people can only die in despair.
However, the death energy will not increase because of such a miserable death, but will be burned in the flames a little bit, and when all the dust settles, Sean can collect even less.
Therefore, instead of waiting until it was all over and collecting it slowly, he should follow the army that set fire to and slaughtered the city, and incorporate the death energy into the Death Bone Bracelet when it was just born, so as to maximize his own benefits.
With this in mind, Sean jumped down from the city wall, and when he was about to land, he used his mana to slow down his speed, and quickly came to his horse.
He had to prepare some materials to set up a ritual circle, so that he could help the Reincarnation Staff quickly absorb the death energy stored in the bracelet and make room for the later collection.
If I'm not mistaken, Sean remembers that there seemed to be the right materials on the logistics side, and they happened to be available now.
……
When Sean left on the Scarlet Horse and returned on the Scarlet Warhorse, he already had an extra bag of all sorts of things in his hand.
After returning to the city walls, Sean walked back and forth at the head of the city with his staff in hand, absorbing all the death energy from a distance into the Death Bone Bracelet.
The city wall is the place where the battle is most intense, and the concentration and quality of death energy here are correspondingly higher, even if Sean has done some compression and purification, it still can't be collected all at once.
Reluctantly finding a relatively secluded place, Sean prepares to perform a ritual magic first.
The first is to depict the ritual circle, this kind of auxiliary absorption circle is very simple, and even the apprentice-level can complete it, and it is even easier to put it now.
Then there is the arrangement of various materials according to the rules, these auxiliary materials are not necessary, but without them, the effect of the circle may be reduced to a certain extent.
When all was done, Sean hovered the staff in the center of the circle and slowly chanted the incantation.
Rich and pure death energy poured out of the bracelet, and quickly poured into the staff, carefully monitoring the flow of energy inside the staff, and the joy on Sean's face became stronger and stronger.
It didn't take long for the staff of reincarnation to absorb the death energy in the bracelet, and because the level of materials used at the beginning was not low, plus Sean's later enhancements along the way, the growth ceiling of this staff was very high, and such a little death energy would not satisfy it at all.
