Chapter 831 - 377: Siege? No, Burn the City! (Part 2)
By noon, the army still hadn’t moved.
Lomisa was already weary.
"Let them stay there if they want."
Lomisa waved a hand, "Keep an eye on them."
Her tone was filled with indifferent disdain.
Ghouls don’t need food.
When they get too hungry, they’ll devour each other.
But the human army is different.
Those soldiers need to eat every day, requiring a huge consumption of provisions.
Osca didn’t think so, hesitated for a moment, then spoke,
"My lord, do you think they might have some kind of plot?"
The spies Osca had sent out before were all captured, and now there was no information.
Osca thought that Luo De wouldn’t do anything meaningless.
"It doesn’t matter."
Lomisa was indifferent, gave a light snort,
"After our Corpse Witches are successfully refined, it doesn’t matter if we give them these ghouls."
Osca nodded, but still felt uneasy,
"My lord, should we consult our God Lord and dispatch more ghouls here?"
"That way, we could attack Luo De’s army from both sides?" Osca suggested.
"As you wish, go if you want."
Lomisa said indifferently: "If you get absorbed by the God Lord as sustenance then, I can’t help you."
Osca immediately closed his mouth, daring not to speak again.
The great God Lord is currently repairing himself, needing a massive amount of necromantic energy.
The God Lord might not care about the one or two thousand ghoul materials.
But if I rashly disturb him and anger him, my soul may be completely destroyed.
"Since you’re worried, get all our ghouls onto the walls."
Lomisa added: "Have the giant ghouls block the city gates."
"Send the winged ghouls to find their supply convoys and contaminate all their food."
"For now, that’s it."
Lomisa stood up, "I’m going to rest, don’t disturb me unless it’s important."
"Alright, my lord."
Osca had no choice but to respond respectfully.
Lomisa didn’t concern herself further, donned a cloak, and walked out of the tower.
At this moment, giant eagles descended from the sky.
Subsequently, dozens of clay jars trailing fire fell from the sky in succession.
As they hit the walls, flames soared into the sky.
Within moments, multiple fires appeared on the southeastern walls and the houses inside the city.
"It’s these guys again."
Before Lomisa’s voice fell, the giant eagles were already flapping their wings and quickly flying away from the city.
"They sure run fast."
Lomisa had witnessed these flame-throwing giant eagles.
But Lomisa didn’t care.
These few fires at most kill a few hundred ghouls, not much damage.
Unless those giant eagles keep dropping flames from above, they couldn’t pose a threat to Lomisa.
Otherwise, these small fires wouldn’t pose much of a threat.
"Really boring."
Lomisa shook her head, withdrew her gaze, and walked toward the castle along the eaves’ shadow.
But at this moment, a sudden whistling sound arose in the sky.
Lomisa looked up, dense black dots streaked across the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The sound of clay jars shattering echoed continuously.
"What are they throwing now?"
Lomisa squinted her eyes.
In the distance, Osca sensed a pungent smell permeating the air, frowning.
At this point, the silhouette of the giant eagles appeared again.
Clay jars trailing fire fell from the sky once more.
Bang!
A crisp sound!
The flames on the walls that were about to extinguish suddenly surged!
The inferno quickly spread over the walls, forming a sea of fire!
The ghouls on the walls were completely engulfed by the flames!
They struggled amidst the flames, screaming and running in all directions!
Stepping over places hit by the clay jars, the fires reignited!
"Something’s wrong!"
Lomisa looked at the rapidly spreading flames, her face changed dramatically, "Those jars are filled with tar!"
"Damn it!"
Lomisa suddenly understood Luo De’s plan.
They weren’t trying to siege the city.
They wanted to turn the whole city into a sea of fire!
Burn everything down!
"Stop them!"
Lomisa turned around, roaring at Osca: "All ghouls attack Luo De’s army!"
"Deploy all giant ghouls and winged ghouls!"
"Deploy our Black Knights!"
"The flames can’t spread!"
Lomisa didn’t care about the ghouls!
Didn’t care about Ancient Wood City!
But those yet-to-be-refined Church bodies couldn’t be destroyed!
Ancient Wood City could turn into a sea of fire, but only after the Church bodies are completely refined!"
Lomisa couldn’t bother resting, rushed back to the tower observing the flames on the walls.
The orange-red light reflected on her pale face made her expression appear particularly twisted.
At this moment, a clay jar flew through the air, aiming directly at the tower’s observation window!
Lomisa’s expression turned cold, a blast of cold air appeared, darting swiftly toward the jar.
Bang!
A crisp sound, the clay jar exploded mid-air!
Shards and tar splattered, falling outside the tower, intensifying the flames!
Even the stone exterior of the tower caught fire!
"Damn it!"
Lomisa gritted her teeth, muttering a spell under her breath.
Gray necromantic energy poured from her hands, quickly gathering into a cloud.
Soon, countless raindrops fell from the cloud, dousing into the inferno.
But the flames showed no sign of extinguishing.
"Luo De!"
A cold voice gritted out from Lomisa, she then raised her head and stared at the battle formations outside the city, her gaze full of hatred.
...
...
Flame Dragon Empire, behind the Seventh to Twenty-Third Legions of Dragon’s Breath, on a hill.
"They’re getting anxious."
Gala stood beside Luo De, shouting excitedly.
He then opened his eyes, reporting: "Your Majesty, the ghouls in the city have stopped defending, they’re all swarming toward us!"
