Chapter 230: The Tin Knight and The Tower of Greed (10)
“…Balascamb… has fallen.”
Though not even the shadow of the enemy’s sword had been seen.
The atmosphere in the command center was already as if the enemy had invaded.
“From a dizzying height where attack magic couldn’t reach, they summoned undead solely for the purpose of mass attack. It seems they crushed the castle with that.”
“The high-ranking mages and numerous troops in the main castle died instantly without even being able to fight properly. Forces outside the main castle were also annihilated after being attacked in the chaotic situation, and the remaining personnel all surrendered and were taken prisoner.”
“This is nonsense! Undead are fundamentally a technique that uses existing corpses. To suddenly summon undead large enough to crush a castle from thin air, you’d first need to summon that many corpses into the air. How is that possible?”
“There’s also a method of inflating the size of undead using mana, isn’t there?”
“That’s armchair theory. Unless hundreds of necromancers simultaneously poured in mana. No, even then, there wouldn’t be enough mana.”
“Isn’t Gale Elilaz famous for her large mana capacity? Could she have possibly helped?”
“No, even then it’s impossible!”
“Isn’t how they did it not important right now!? We should be discussing how to recapture it immediately!”
“The Tower of Protection side is launching a major offensive! The frontlines are collapsing quickly, and at this rate, all our forward units will be devoured! If we’re to save them, we must recapture Balascamb as soon as possible!”
