Chapter 1061 The Forgotten Violence
On the most dangerous charge road, the silent magic tower still brings considerable psychological pressure to people. Until they rushed to the gate of the magic tower, the battering ram slammed open the gate with a sharp blow, and cheers suddenly sounded among the legion soldiers. At the same time, the news that there was a traitor inside the Tower of the Great Sage spread among the army.
The reason why this good news was not notified to the soldiers as soon as possible, and only a few officers knew about it, was to prevent the traitor from being able to play a role, and if there were a large number of casualties, the morale of the legion would collapse faster. By seeing a little hope and then watching it disillusioned, the strong contrast will indeed make people more desperate.
In this case, let everyone be prepared to sacrifice from the beginning, and the answer will be revealed later. On the contrary, this will make people feel that the person leading this attack has already secured the victory, and they only need to follow to pick up the sweet fruits of victory. In this way, courage will grow along with greed and desire.
Even though the door was smashed open, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Magicians are all familiar with this set of tricks. It is a magic that is not difficult - the dark field. The name sounds very high-end, but in fact it just blocks people's sight and prevents them from seeing things beyond the distance of their arms. There's no point in bringing a torch.
This level of defensive trap can only be regarded as entry level for the magic tower. If ordinary soldiers broke in, I'm afraid they would have to scramble for a while before they would get used to it.
But those who rushed into the Tower of the Great Sage were all proud mages. Even if they don't dispel the effect of this magic, they still have many ways to move freely in the dark realm. So the people in front didn't care, and under the command of the officer, they rushed into the magic tower.
As for the army's battle against the magic tower, as long as they can attack the tower, the outcome will be determined. Because no matter how many traps there are in the magic tower, it can still work wonders against a small number of opponents, such as a team of five or six adventurers. But if the army is used as the opponent, they can overcome most difficulties by just using the method of stacking corpses, and finally kill the tower owner with the sword.
At this stage, no matter whether there are early casualties or not, it is very easy for the attacker who is holding back his energy to take down the magic tower in one go. So as long as they can enter the tower, everyone is convinced that victory is within their grasp. The difference lies in how much loot he can get from this victory.
Even in the regular army, generals sometimes use indulgent methods to stimulate the morale of the army; not to mention their temporarily recruited army. Basically, once 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 various places in the southwest of Midi to resist the invasion of the Abyss a few years ago.
It was supposed to be an outpost to resist the invasion of the abyss, and it was unknown how long it would last, so the supplies gathered at that time were quite large. But because the battle was hasty, the Gate of the Abyss was closed again on the day it was opened; and the Midi Army did not cause many casualties, so there was no need for compensation. Supplies that have not had time to be consumed, those that are easy to transport and those that are rare are returned to the donors.
As for those things that are not easy to transport, or have little value, and are relatively expensive to transport back, they are all left to the Tower of the Great Sage for war reserves. After all, in areas where the Gate of the Abyss has been opened, it is easy for demons to open it again. Everyone left supplies to prepare for the future.
The items left behind may have been considered useless at the time, and the donors were unwilling to take them away. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t good things inside that are expensive for ordinary people.
Military robbery is like locusts crossing the border. If there is a little bit of value, it will be poached and turned into trophies for the soldiers. This is also the reason why so many magicians can be recruited in this crusade against the Tower of the Great Sage.
Except for the Xijia District branch under the leadership of the new president who was willing to give up money, the association did not take any of the frivolous wealth from the Tower of the Great Sage. As long as the soldiers do not kill each other because of competition, whoever grabs something will own it. The Magician Association only needs the magic tower, the most precious item.
So with victory in sight, the soldiers rushed into the tower one after another. I'm afraid that if I'm too late for others, the most valuable things will be taken away by others first.
Two large groups of magicians rushed into the tower. Although they are auxiliary soldiers, there are many people who are followers of the magician. Under the hint of their master intentionally or unintentionally, these people seize the opportunity and rush into the magic tower.
As long as someone starts, someone will follow. In the end, when the Great Sage's Tower opened its door, it was like a robber's feast was being held inside. Everyone rushed in to grab a seat and get some benefits.
Not to mention the soldiers going crazy, even some low-level officers were caught up in the atmosphere of carnival. Only those few were leading the war, and those who were truly in power spat on the ground unceremoniously at the greed shown by their subordinates.
Perhaps some of these people regretted allowing the soldiers to collect the spoils of war. But now, the unbridled wild horse is not so easy to tame. Everyone can only wait for the war to end, someone to come out with the head of the damn tower master, and then use severe measures to restore this disordered behavior.
But...how many people rushed in? That small three-story magic tower has no special space technology that can expand the capacity of the tower. Under normal circumstances, let alone a thousand people, maybe three to five hundred people, standing side by side in the tower, would be so crowded that no one could see the floor.
However, the reality is that more than half of the legion, including the two thousand regular magicians, rushed into the tower and fell silent. No one came out of the tower anymore, so naturally no one knew what happened inside the tower.
When the madness passed, everyone who was still outside looked at each other. They were at a loss. They didn't know whether to continue rushing into the tower and face the unknown danger, or to simply go home and pretend that this incident never happened.
When the light and shadow of five upright hexagram magic arrays condensed on the top of the Great Sage's Tower, the remaining soldiers of the legion exploded. Most of them had participated in the abyss invasion war a few years ago, and of course they had witnessed how that farce ended. No one was not impressed by the conspicuous attack preparations of the Tower of the Great Sage.
It's just...this time the enemy is them.
The originally high morale fell to the bottom in an instant. The magician officer who had not yet broken into the tower could not restrain the soldiers' behavior. Even these officers did not think of restraining the soldiers, and everyone turned around and ran away.
But the two-legged one, even if he added the auxiliary magic of acceleration, could not outrun the light bullet attack of the Tower of the Great Sage. Their actions only caused them to be attacked from behind, leaving a mark of shame at the end of their lives.
The rolling six-pointed star magic array is like a six-barreled Gatling gun-style attack, which can fire three thousand to four thousand rounds of guided light bombs every minute. This means that the Tower of the Great Sage has been exerting all its power from the beginning to massacre the remaining half of the legion.
In less than a minute, there were no more survivors around the Tower of the Great Sage, leaving only a pile of corpses. Just like the days when it was raging, there were no injuries, only killings, using blood to create an image that everyone feared.
