Chapter seven hundred and sixty-four?(1/2)
As mentioned before, the Undead Empire built an Undead Canopy Passage that leads directly to the northern fortress of the Eternal Night Army.
The Guards Corps was not pushing forward, attacking the Tower of Ashes at the forefront.
Instead, they circled back to their side and directly attacked their third Ash Bones Tower.
There are two purposes for doing this.
First, the Bone Tower at the front seems to have no cover around it and is the weakest.
Neither Sean nor Marshal Dixon think so. On the contrary, this is probably an important place that the other party has sent heavy troops to guard.
On the contrary, several nodes in the rear may become the opponent's weak points due to various reasons such as troop deployment and barriers in the front.
Secondly, they wanted to cut off the opponent's connection with the main force and prepare to conquer three cities in a row.
Although there were some twists and turns in the plan at the beginning, it was not to an unacceptable level for Sean and Dixon, so they kept the original plan unchanged and went straight to the second target.
As they moved forward quickly, they took stock of the materials consumed and harvested in the previous battle.
Although the first battle just did not last long, it consumed a lot of military supplies carried by the Guards Corps, especially the Holy Light grenades and Holy Light shells, which accounted for a full third, let alone repaying them.
A regiment went out to block the attack.
However, in the following war, the Guards Corps had a big advantage - they had an understanding of the Undead Empire's defense situation and their main methods, and could steer the situation to their advantage whether they calculated it mentally or not.
side.
Along the way, Sean and Marshal Dixon reached a consensus.
That is to destroy the undead manipulating the Tower of Ashes as quickly as possible without giving him the chance to fully mobilize the shadow energy for his own use.
The biggest threat to them before was the energy giant that the undead tried to condense using shadow energy.
A completely unformed energy giant is so terrifying. Once it is allowed to take shape, it will definitely be a disaster for the Guards Corps. If you are not careful, there will be a lot of casualties.
However, according to Sean's speculation, there is no way to maintain this kind of super energy giant for a long time, even if it relies on the Ash Bones Tower.
Take his soul beast as an example. The basis of its existence is the energy skeleton.
Without the energy skeleton, Sean would have no way to maintain the magic energy in the same form for how long before it would collapse.
Let’s use a very simple metaphor.
If the magic energy is regarded as water, the energy skeleton is a bucket.
Putting water into a bucket is a very simple matter. As long as the bucket does not fall apart, the water will not flow around.
As for evaporation in this process, it is inevitable.
Even if there is no bucket, you still want the water to keep the shape of the bucket.
It's not that it's impossible to do at all, but the consumption inside is not that big at all, and it's the kind that continuously consumes mental energy.
The super energy giant controlled by the undead before was not in a pure barrelless state, but somewhere between barreled and barrelless.
The barrel he used to control the super energy giant was temporarily pieced together using the soul fire extracted from the undead, and glued together with his own thoughts.
That's why.
When the super energy giant was blown apart, the undead also suffered heavy losses.
Although Sean is not sure about this speculation, he is still close to it.
In this way, the Guards Corps did not have to worry. After they rushed to the Tower of Ashes, there was already a super energy giant waiting for them there.
If this happens, it will be easier to handle.
All they had to do was turn around and leave.
The existence of the super energy giant relies on the undead who control the Tower of Ashes, and there is no way to hunt down the Guards Corps.
It would take him half a day to kill another carbine. At that time, the entire Tower of Ashes would probably be in an undefended state - the energy of the undead had been drained by the super energy giant.
To be on the safe side, Sean temporarily increased the firepower of the Guards Corps.
The way to increase firepower is, of course, not to mobilize more firepower from the territory.
It only takes them half an hour to reach the second Ash Bones Tower. Even if they send the Thundering Golden Eagle back to transport more artillery from the northern fortress, it will be too late.
Sean was manipulating the existing equipment of the Guards Corps and spending the more than a thousand points of law power he had just received.
He chose to try to infuse the power of law into the mortars to change the nature of their existence, and see if they could undergo qualitative changes like the sacred military emblem.
Unexpectedly, after one try, it actually succeeded.
After absorbing fifty points of law power in a row, the mortar immediately became gleaming with golden light, and even an inexperienced person could tell that it was different.
After this mortar was recognized by the laws of the plane, Sean decisively stopped it. It would be a waste to continue investing in it.
Fifty points per door is far cheaper than the 100 points per door that Sean initially estimated.
Therefore, Sean created ten sacred mortars as soon as he got started.
After ten doors, Sean stopped.
First, this amount is enough to cope with the current war.
Secondly, these mortars are different from the Holy Light Military Emblem. They are only made of ordinary metal and cannot fully exert the power of the law.
What is produced now is just an emergency product. The real sacred mortar has to be produced from the arsenal.
Now that he has a stable and reliable source of the power of law, Sean does not continue to be stingy with the power of law in his hands.
Together with the 1,000 points originally in stock, and the more than 1,200 points I just acquired, they were all squandered.
Five hundred points were used to create the Holy Mortar, and the other 800 points were poured into the Heroic Soul Banner.
The legion attack using it as a medium has fully demonstrated its lethality against extraordinary enemies such as super energy giants.
It is boosted by the Heroic Soul Banner, and coupled with the Heroic Soul Banner's unique effect in storing the souls of dead warriors, continuing to invest in it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.
Originally, Sean planned to inject all the power of law at hand into the Heroic Soul Banner.
I just didn't expect that after just absorbing 800 points, it would enter a saturated state. There was no way to artificially inject it anymore. It could only absorb it by itself and slowly increase the upper limit.
In addition, when the Tower of Ashes was destroyed previously, the power of the Free Law absorbed by the Heroic Soul Banner itself.
This Guards Heroic Soul Army Flag contains a total of 1,500 points of law power.
Just like the original Law Gold Coin, when the power of Law in the Heroic Soul Army Flag is fully infused, it no longer looks like a shiny golden showman. It is no different from an ordinary military flag that hides its capabilities and bides its time.
But if you stare at it for a long time, you will find that it is different.
It gives people the illusion that it is not just a military flag, but a living thing.
When it starts to take effect, it will be even more incredible, it will really shine brightly.
If he were to use his legion combat skills again, there would definitely be two situations.
Although there is no test on its performance in absorbing the souls of dead warriors, there must be a step-like growth.
Because the Guards Cavalry who left their soul mark on the Heroic Soul Flag clearly felt the connection with the flag, they even vaguely felt some of the strong thoughts of the controller of the Heroic Soul Flag.
This kind of information feedback made Sean, the instigator, somewhat unexpected.
If this ability continues to increase as the power of the law on the heroic soul flag increases.
Then the role of the Heroic Soul Army Flag is not limited to storing war spirits and serving as a medium for performing legion joint attacks, it can even serve as a command medium.
If the supreme commander's order can be transmitted to the ears of every soldier under his command, it goes without saying what it means.
At that time, the entire legion will become a true unit and perform some incredible extreme command and operations.
Sean didn't save any of the nearly a thousand points of law power left, and directly upgraded some soldiers' holy light military emblems to holy military emblems.
In the previous raid, the two most useful tools among ordinary soldiers were the Holy Light Grenade and the Holy Military Emblem.
Especially the Holy Light grenade is very powerful and more flexible than the mortar.
It's just that the Holy Light Grenade is a one-time consumable product, and it would be too extravagant to invest the power of law into it and upgrade it to a Holy Grenade.
Sean only spent ten points of law power to experimentally create ten of them.
Relatively speaking, a permanent sacred military emblem is more cost-effective.
In the future, as the power of law increases in the accounts, it will also be a major trend to inject the power of law into the main battle weapons of soldiers and transform them into sacred weapons.
During the march, the true role of the Holy Light Chariot was revealed - to replenish the consumed magic energy for the soldiers.
Wait until the next Tower of Ashes appears in front of the Guards Corps.
The soldiers' previous consumption has been replenished by 7788.
Therefore, although the Guards Corps separated a corps of soldiers and went out, its strength has not decreased but increased compared to before.
The guardian of the Gray Bones Tower clearly noticed that there was something wrong with the Gray Bones Tower behind him, and sent more than 500 undead souls to support him, including many Gray Bones Undead, Gray Bones Elites and Gray Bones Knights.
But facing the heavily armed Guards Corps, they were crushed into the dirt after just one encounter.
The Guards Corps rumbled towards the Tower of Ashes.
"Holy Light Grenade!"
"Holy Charge!"
