Chapter 267: The Tower of Dawn (1)
The deep-blue Tower of Dawn stood tall in the heart of the desolate wilderness. Several soldiers stood in front of it, shouting at the top of their lungs."In the name of the Seven Goddesses!"
"Surrender peacefully, Diogres Kolon!"
"How can you not feel shame after committing such great sin!"
They were yelling toward the Tower of Dawn, but the shouting wasn’t really meant for the tower’s mages to hear. Thousands of soldiers were gathered here, and all of them now faced the dreadful fate of confronting the mighty Master of the Tower, Diogres Kolon.
Naturally, the soldiers needed some explanation as to why they were risking their lives against an archmage. Only then could morale be maintained. No one actually believed Diogres would surrender at their cries.
So, when the gates of the Tower of Dawn truly opened, the very soldiers who had been shouting moments earlier shrieked and fled without a second glance. After all, if someone who wouldn’t surrender opened their gates, it could mean only one thing.
Nearly a hundred iron puppets surged out of the tower, brandishing spears and blades. Each stood nearly two meters tall, hulking in size. The knights shouted in alarm.
"What are those?"
"Puppet soldiers!"
"All units, prepare for battle!"
Among the various schools of magic was a technique to summon and control golems from the earth. But it wasn’t a widely used form of combat magic. The reason was simple: Even the most skilled mage could only manage to control one or two golems at a time.
