Wonders useless?My wonders come from China through the ages

The battle of Silver Scale City ended with the complete annihilation of the demon coalition forces, and all reconstruction work in the city is proceeding in an orderly manner.

And thanks to Yin Ruizhi's contact with Kong Fantian, who expanded the talent effect to the lord responsible for rebuilding the city-state, the progress of the restoration of Silver Scale City has taken off, and a large area has been restored soon.

It seems that the entire city can be restored to its original state within half a day.

As for Lin Ye, he had nothing to do at the moment, so he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he followed the generals around the city to check the situation.

"In fact, the reason why Silver Scale City was caught in a tough battle and almost fell was because the city lord was unable to come to help. Otherwise, no matter how many corrupted demons came, it would be useless."

As she walked, Guan Xiu couldn't help but speak with some emotion.

It is well known that within the city-state, the city lord possesses fighting power comparable to that of a strong man in adversity.

So under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to capture a city-state.

Unless you can control the lord of this city-state through other means before attacking this city-state, it will be possible to capture or even seize this city-state.

Just like when Lin Ye was in the level 60 war zone, the lord of Shanyi City was killed in a surprise attack, and the entire city was directly seized by the demon lord.

Although they managed to recapture Shanyi City without any danger in the end, it also left a deep impression on Lin Ye.

It is indeed difficult to conquer a city-state!

In the abyss, the simplest way is to attack the city lord.

Just as Guan Xiu said, the Lord of Silver Scale City was killed by the enemy in the battle and entered a state of resurrection, which allowed the Corrupted Demons to see an opportunity and directly launched an attack on Silver Scale City.

Because in this state, the city lord cannot come back to defend the city-state, and that is when the city-state is the weakest.

As for waiting for the Lord of Silver Scale City to be resurrected, the core of Silver Scale City had already changed hands, and it would be very difficult to take it back.

"It's lucky to say that the city lord chose to commit suicide at the critical moment... Otherwise, if he died at the hands of those corrupt demons, he wouldn't even have the chance to be resurrected." Guan Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This situation is unprecedented.

In many cases, most lords are willing to fight to the death, especially soldiers. Although they will be imprisoned and resurrected if killed, they will never really die.

Therefore, many people are unwilling to bow to their opponents even if they are killed and resurrected.

After all, if you are resurrected and imprisoned, it would only take a month at most, but if you act like a coward, you will be criticized for the rest of your life.

It is still easy to distinguish which is more important.

Except for some rare cases, where a lord knows that he will die once he is killed, basically no lord will beg for mercy in battle.

As for suicide...

It is also very rare, because everyone has the mentality that the worst that can happen is resurrection, so why not cause more damage to the opponent before resurrecting?
Isn't it more honorable to die in battle than to commit suicide?
Therefore, suicide has never been considered a glorious thing among the lords.

But now, facing this plague of corruption, suicide has become the only way to survive...

After all, if you do it yourself, you may still be resurrected, but if you are killed by the corrupted demons, you will directly become a void creature and disappear.

After weighing the two evils, killing oneself becomes a final resort that is not difficult to accept.

It’s just that it’s very difficult to grasp to this extent… because some people, even if they kill themselves, will still be directly corrupted into void creatures and die immediately.

Only those who are not deeply contaminated by the void can be resurrected through this method...

"Yes, it's because the city lord acted decisively and cut off his arm. Otherwise..."

"But why did I hear that the Purple Gold Pavilion wanted to investigate his behavior of deserting the battlefield?"

"I also received news that the city lord was in charge of the battle at that time. As long as he held on a little longer, he could have waited for reinforcements. But he surrendered first, causing great chaos in the army, leading to a disastrous defeat, with nearly 50,000 casualties..."

"He was able to revive after planting himself. This shows how much effort he put in during the battle, right?"

Several stronghold commanders were discussing this at this time.

Lin Ye listened calmly on the side.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. In previous battles, even if you were killed, you still had a chance to be resurrected.

Therefore, as long as they are not too unlucky, most soldiers can live safely until retirement. Many brave soldiers in combat are not afraid of death, but they know that they will not die.

However, the current battle with the corrupted demons has completely changed the war mode of the past.

The shadow of death has never been so directly hanging over the heads of soldiers...

Therefore, those soldiers who seemed brave and fearless in the past suddenly revealed their true colors. At best, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and at worst, they fled in battle.

The Lord of Silver Scale City, seeing that the situation on the battlefield was not going well, abandoned his army without hesitation and chose to resurrect as soon as possible to avoid being contaminated by too much power of the void, which would lead to a failure of resurrection.

Although the matter is still unclear, judging from the fact that Zijin Pavilion has opened a case to investigate him, we know that this is probably the case.

These generals did not have much sympathy for the Lord of Silver Scale City, and one could even hear deep disdain in the words of some commanders.

Firstly, the Lord of Silver Scale City was just an ordinary colleague to them, and they didn’t get along particularly well.

Secondly, judging from the performance of the generals present, none of them were the type of people that the Lord of Silver Scale City was, so it was normal for them to despise such acts of living in disgrace.

But when Guan Xiu mentioned this matter at this time, it was obvious that he was not really concerned about whether the city lord was dead or not, but just wanted to bring up a topic.

"If our human army had a City God Temple, then this plague would probably not be a threat." Guan Xiu scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly.

Obviously, he also knew what he was talking about, and his old face turned red and he looked a little embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, General Guan is right. I think the drawings of the City God Temple can be appropriately released under the current circumstances..."

"I don't mind. It's mainly because of the soldiers under my command. They are all excellent guys... I have lost a lot of new recruits during this period of time. Alas!"

"Who isn't? Those children are all good children of our human race..."

As they spoke, several commanders became emotional, with red eyes.

After hearing this, Lin Ye understood what these veterans meant. (End of this chapter)
