Chapter 832 - 377: Siege? No, Burn the City! (Part 3)
"Not only from the northwest direction, but also from the west and north sides, they have flanked us!"
"There are not just ordinary ghouls inside; I’ve seen thousands of giant ghouls!"
"Hmm."
Luo De nodded and stood on the high platform, overlooking the burning Ancient Wood City in the distance.
The orange flames danced on the horizon.
Siege?
What a joke.
What’s the value of a city occupied and ravaged countless times by ghouls?
Land, items, houses, even the flowers and plants are polluted by necromantic energy; even if taken, it’s uninhabitable.
Luo De certainly doesn’t want such a broken city.
Burning it down is the right choice.
After the flames purify everything, the ashes of hordes of ghouls will nurture fertile soils.
Perhaps in the future, this place can become a vast fertile land for magic plants.
"Inform the stone-throwing squad, have them throw all the jars out for me."
"Those things aren’t valuable; we can have as many as we want later."
He paused, his voice becoming more stern.
"Also, the Celestial Fire Legion, empty all the fire jars they carried, create a flame defense line!"
"Yes, Emperor!"
The messenger immediately received the order and ran to convey the command.
"Order!"
Luo De commanded, "Order the Growl Bear and Golden Knights Legion to hold their ground, trap the ghouls on both sides in the ravine; the archers and spear throwers will deal with them!"
"Understood, Emperor!" the two messengers simultaneously replied.
"Sao!"
Luo De’s voice echoed in the air, and Sao immediately knelt on one knee.
"Order the Frost Winter Knights and the reserve officer Knights Legion to prepare, pay attention to clearing those giant ghouls!"
"Tell those guys in the reserve officer Knights Legion this is their promotion battle."
Luo De’s voice was serious, "Whether they can obtain the Seed of Nature and Knight Roar Potion depends on how many they can kill."
"Knights Legion has received the order!"
Sao nodded forcefully, quickly getting up to convey the command.
The reserve officer Knights Legion is composed of knights under various lords.
They come from different territories and have formerly pledged loyalty to various nobles.
Luo De did not have extra time to distinguish their loyalty and ability, so he could only let the battlefield assess these intermediate knights.
The messengers and officers successively received orders and left.
Luo De’s gaze fell on Lusen,
"Is the Empire’s Royal Family Wizard Corps ready?"
Luo De asked.
The Royal Family Wizard Corps is an extra wizard team assembled by Luo De, directly managed by Emperor Luo De himself.
Compared to the Imperial Secret Magic Guild, the Wizard Corps is more militarized, always ready to follow orders.
Every member of the Wizard Corps belongs to the Secret Magic Guild, possessing the Seed of Nature, with fixed monthly points and training resources.
The number is only fifteen, but all are intermediate wizard apprentices, equipped with legion-standard magic gear.
Five magic jewelry, one Magic Staff, thirty units of Magic Crystal Stone, five bottles of magic potion, and three bottles of Strong Life Potion tactical reserves.
"Yes, Emperor."
Lusen responded respectfully, "They all wish to show themselves in this war."
"Let them support the Knights Legion."
Luo De calmly said, "Coordinate the battle, minimize casualties as much as possible."
"Yes, Emperor."
Lusen nodded, turning to leave.
But at this moment, Macao’s figure appeared below the hillside, stopped by the guards.
"Let him come over."
Luo De said to the guard.
The guard nodded and quickly stepped forward to escort Macao over.
"Honored Emperor."
Macao saluted respectfully, holding a Magic Staff embedded with a Life Gem.
"Emperor, please allow us to contribute."
Macao’s voice carried a bit of earnestness,
"Additionally, we hope to join your Imperial Magic Association."
"We hope for the opportunity to earn contribution points to exchange for the essence of nature."
"Ah, no, the Seed of Nature."
After rescuing the people of the Life and Nature Church, Luo De did not pay much attention.
Originally intending to establish a Life Tree seedling base in the Empire.
But due to the magic energy network, Luo De temporarily decided to keep it with him.
Replaced the Life Gem in the flowerpot, and occasionally fed it a Seed of Nature, it was not about to wither again.
"You may."
Luo De nodded slightly.
Macao volunteered, Luo De had no reason to refuse.
"You are in charge of the main battlefield, responsible for restoring the energy and stamina of the frontline legion."
"Prevent their line from being breached."
"As for the Seed of Nature you mentioned, I will consider it."
"Thank you for your generosity, Emperor."
Macao saluted respectfully, a hint of joy appearing on his face.
Then, Luo De glanced at Chris.
"This matter is entrusted to you, ensure the protection of these spellcasters."
"Don’t allow any enemies to approach them."
Chris solemnly nodded, "I will have the personal guard responsible for their safety."
Macao and Chris exchanged a glance, then saluted Luo De and retreated, each going to arrange the legion.
A moment later, the howls of ghouls came from afar.
The war erupted.
