The cracks on the Tower of Ashes are becoming more dense.
The scene where Sean directly attacked the Tower of Ashes appeared again.
The severely damaged Ash Bone Tower directly affected the high-level undead associated with it, thereby affecting the stability of the energy head.
In normal times, this fleeting impact would not pose much of a threat to Chief Majira.
But at this critical moment of confrontation with the sacred spear, it is very fatal.
It didn't matter if he lost control, the sacred spear that was drilling crazily took advantage of the situation.
With a pop, the energy head was penetrated to the core.
For a pure energy body, this is still not a fatal wound.
But Marshal Di Kelong's follow-up action came immediately. He slammed the Heroic Soul Army flag hard and shouted: "Explode!"
boom!
The sacred spear exploded.
This is a standard energy blast, and it is also an internal blast with the power of double restraint.
The energy head could no longer maintain its integrity and was blown to pieces on the spot.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The high-level undead Chief Majira obviously did not receive any blows, but his mummy-like body suffered a series of internal explosions. Not only his chest was blown to pieces, but one of his arms was blown away.
The connection between this energy head and him is higher than expected.
When the energy head was fatally destroyed, even he, the commander, also suffered energy backlash.
"No...no...no..." Chief Majira let out a howl, and the panic revealed in it could be clearly discerned even from a distance of hundreds of meters.
Sean clearly sensed something, with a look of horror on his face, and ordered loudly: "Lie down, everyone, lie down, wall of ice!"
The Spear of the Ancestral Spirit pointed forward, cold air spurted out wildly, and a wall of ice more than four meters high and thirty centimeters thick spread rapidly to both sides, trying to protect the Guards Corps behind him.
boom!
Then there was a violent explosion, the intensity of which was far greater than a salvo from a mortar position.
A powerful shadow energy vibrated.
What exploded just now was none other than a fragment of the shadow energy head blown out.
Chief Majila, the manipulator of these energies, was so traumatized that he began to lose control of this powerful energy.
"Blasphemer! You actually destroyed the sacred sanctuary of the true God... Since I can't live forever in the kingdom of the true god, you have to follow me to hell and die together!" The high-level undead, who knew he would die, fell into a trap.
Madness.
Instead of trying to regain control of the out-of-control shadow energy, he used his last strength to control these shadow energy fragments and floated towards the Guards Corps, preparing to use the energy to explode when it was out of control, killing them all together.
"Mortar, mortar, kill that controller, kill that controller quickly!" Sean didn't care about condensing the ice wall anymore, and he changed his hands and started condensing ice to throw spears again.
This time, there was no way of waiting for the hundreds of ice spears to gather together. Instead, when one appeared, he threw it out.
The targets were all aimed at the high-level undead.
Without even needing to be greeted by Sean, the mortar artillerymen had already automatically targeted Chief Majila.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Sean used the ice-throwing spear controlled by the Spear of the Ancestral Spirit to move faster and hit the high-level undead first.
It's still the same problem as before, the Ice Throwing Spear is a bit wrong, it can only cause some damage and obstruction to Chief Majira, but it can't completely kill him.
The shadow energy on his body surged, seemingly trying to repair his sieve-like body.
The Ice Throwing Spear is not without any effect.
Soon Chief Majira's body was covered with a layer of frost, and his ability to control the shadow energy fragments became even weaker.
Some shadow energy fragments slightly farther away from him exploded on the spot.
Compared to the Guards Corps, these shadow energy fragments were closer to him and the Ashbone Tower.
The impact of this kind of explosion made no distinction between friend and foe. The Tower of Ashes was immediately shaken by the impact. Chief Majira was further affected and traumatized, and his control over the shadow energy fragments became even weaker.
This is an out-and-out vicious cycle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Guards Corps mortar bombardment finally arrived.
The high-level undead man and his throne were directly submerged by shells and explosions.
"The Queen will avenge me! The wrath of the True God will burn you! Long live the Queen! Long live the True God!" Chief Majila's fanatical shouting seemed so weak and powerless amidst the series of explosions.
It was not the shelling of the Guards Corps that destroyed the Tower of Ashes, but the explosion caused by out-of-control shadow energy.
This kind of explosion lasted for half a minute.
The entire Guards Corps was so bombed that they could not hold their heads up. They could only bring down their horses and lie down on the ground.
Although the explosion did not explode directly above their heads, the lethality of the mud and rocks ejected by the explosion, especially those of gray bones, was still considerable. Being hit by them was definitely uncomfortable.
The horrific explosion not only collapsed the Tower of Ashes, but also dispersed the surrounding shadow energy, allowing the scorching sun to shine in, making the Guards Corps soldiers feel as if they were in another world. They almost
I have forgotten that it is noon when the sun is shining brightly.
The high-level undead named Chief Majira was completely blown into ashes, and not even a single bone fragment was found.
Everyone else was staying as far away from the Tower of Ashes as possible, away from the center of the explosion.
Sean, on the other hand, was on the contrary, holding on to the ice shield, looking for the right moment, and ran towards the Tower of Ashes.
He needs to collect as much information as possible about the Tower of Ashes, both before and after its destruction.
Fortunately, he is sensitive enough to the energy of the spell, and can easily sense the abnormal energy fluctuations, and try to avoid the center point of the explosion as much as possible.
This Tower of Ashes is indeed very similar to the Mage Tower.
The bones on it are not piled up randomly, but form mysterious runic circuits.
There is no doubt that these runic circuits are the key to drawing shadow energy directly from the shadow plane.
Sean recorded them as much as possible, maybe it would be helpful to the ancestors and their research.
When the explosion completely destroyed the integrity of the Ashes Tower, Sean vaguely saw the endless void behind the Ashes Tower.
Immediately afterwards, the first large-scale release of souls reappeared, and mysterious runes of laws appeared in front of Sean's eyes, just like weaving cloth, weaving the cloth of laws, and once again blocking the spells created by the Tower of Ashes.
gap.
In front of these law runes, shadow energy is like encountering a natural enemy.
Black smoke was rising.
Some parts simply disappear and become invisible.
Some of this becomes the purest form of magical energy.
Some of it turned into strands of golden substance. That golden substance has a special name for Sean - the power of law.
The power of law analyzed from the shadow energy was not recovered by the plane law, but floated towards Sean and the others.
There was no need for Sean to control it at all. The law rune in his body automatically sensed it and jumped directly from the main body of the Northern Fortress to the energy clone.
It was like a shining beacon. Most of the power of law turned around and floated towards Sean at a very fast speed.
Sean's power of law was almost exhausted, and he started a new round of crazy jumping.
When the sacrifice ended, he had already jumped more than 800 points. It was not completely over yet. Based on the current situation, it was estimated that Sean would be able to account for at least about 1,200 points of law power this time.
A tower of ashen bones can cause far more damage to the laws of the plane than a legendary lich.
Due to the existence of the law runes, Sean absorbed a large part of the power of the law, but some of it was scattered freely.
These are freely dispersed and obviously have their own tendencies.
Among them, items such as the handsome military flag and the sacred military emblem, which Sean has originally infused with the power of law, are like magnets, more attractive to these ownerless power of law.
Secondly, strong men like Marshal Dikron are obviously more favored by the power of law.
As for other soldiers, there is obviously a random element.
Sean could clearly see that there was originally a bit of law power flowing towards a soldier who was relatively close to him, but a soldier happened to be passing by and bumped into that bit of law power, and that bit of law power was naturally absorbed.
into the soldier's body.
From this point of view, Sean's original guess that he would be rewarded with the power of the law for helping him work for the laws of the plane was not entirely correct.
I obviously overestimated the intelligence of plane laws.
The power of these laws is more like the magical by-product produced by the plane laws in the process of purifying and absorbing these souls or energy.
It can only be absorbed by people present.
What if you didn't send an energy clone to accompany you, but just stayed behind.
The power of these laws will never fly all the way to the northern fortress and be owned by you. Instead, it will be divided directly by the soldiers of the Guards Corps present.
Moreover, the absorption and utilization rate is very low. Many of the powers of the laws are gone as they fly. They are obviously absorbed by the laws of the plane.
Now it seems that the biggest gain from shelling the God of Death was the law rune in his soul.
This is the key to harvesting a large amount of the power of the law. Otherwise, even if he holds a large amount of the power of the law, Sean will not be able to eat it all.
In all future wars with the Undead Empire, especially in counterattacks like the Tower of Ashes, it is very necessary to send soul war beasts to accompany them.
With these thousand points of law power in his account, Sean can undoubtedly do a lot more.
It was obvious that only Sean was witness to the unique situation just now.
In the eyes of other Guards soldiers, they only felt that the sun was particularly bright at this moment, and it shone on their bodies, giving them a warm and comfortable feeling.
Although the power of law is a good thing, its effect is subtle and does not cause a sudden increase in strength.
Sean silently wrote down the appearance of those soldiers who had absorbed more power from the Law, preparing to list them as key objects of observation in the future.
He is also very curious about what kind of impact the power of law can have on people.
"Treat the wounded and clean the battlefield. These skeletons, especially those with a darker gray color, should be packed and taken away as much as possible. Those that cannot be taken away should be piled up, poured with fuel, and burned on the spot. They must not be left behind by the other side!"
On the other hand, Marshal Dikron has already directed the clean-up work.
"The enemy is far more powerful than we imagined. Just the first tower forced us to use all our methods." Sean's expression was a bit solemn, "How many casualties are there among the soldiers?"
"At least two hundred." Marshal Dikron's face also looked a little heavy.
The reason why he came up with the casualty figures so quickly was not because the Guards Corps' work efficiency was so terrible, but because he took advantage of the Heroic Soul Army Flag.
Through the souls of the soldiers collected above, the approximate number of killed in the entire Guards Corps can be directly calculated.
"Lord, you must not give up halfway just because of a little difficulty. We suffered a bit this time because we don't know the opponent's situation very well. I believe it will be much easier next time to formulate targeted tactics based on the opponent's situation." Dick
Marshal Long advised, "Next time, the opponent will adjust their tactics and it will be harder to fight!"
"I understand, I have no intention of giving up halfway." Sean nodded and said, "I am considering how to further adjust and strengthen our attack methods."
"Strengthen the attack methods? How to strengthen it?" Marshal Diklong was stunned.
"Let's talk about it on the way. We don't have much time left. These bone towers are obviously sensitive, and the undead defenders on both sides of the bone towers are starting to react." Sean pondered for a moment and said, "There is no death under these bone towers.
The strength of the corps is not particularly strong. What is really scary is the extraordinary power exerted by those undead relying on the bone tower. Let's divide the troops. Leave one corps here to clean the battlefield, set up a position by the way, and ambush the reinforcements of the undead corps behind.
It should be enough for the corps to attack the next bone tower."
"Okay!" Marshal Dikron nodded and said, "Captain Bowen."
"Here." An officer in his early thirties responded and came out.
"I'll leave this place to you and your regiment. I'll leave you with ten mortars, not only to keep the enemy here as much as possible, but also to clean up the battlefield as much as possible." Marshal Dikron gave the order.
road.
"Lords and marshals, please rest assured. Even if I risk my life, I will ensure that I complete the mission." Captain Bowen replied loudly.
"You delay them here for an hour, that's enough." Sean added the order, "After that, whether to fight or retreat, you can flexibly control it and bring them back alive as much as possible."
"Understood." Captain Bowen nodded heavily.
A series of orders were quickly conveyed.
The entire Guards Corps was divided into two.
The First Corps, led by Captain Bowen, was cleaning the battlefield while building defensive positions, preparing to block the undead regiments coming from the rear after hearing the news.
Sean's supplementary order just now was more because he was worried that Captain Bowen would offend himself and waste too much time here. As for the interception of himself this time, he was not too worried.
He had already explored the surrounding Ash Bones Tower before and found that their garrison numbers were very even.
The undead stationed at the Tower of Ashes still have guarding responsibilities, and it is impossible to send out all the troops to reinforce the investigation.
When the time comes, facing one or two thousand ordinary undead soldiers, the First Corps will still have a strength advantage.
After a short rest, the Guards Corps went straight to the next Tower of Ashes.
