The defense of the Tower of the Great Sage can be said to be lax──from the perspective of outsiders.
The precedent of the noble coalition attacking the tower also allows those who are interested to see some opportunities. Strategic-level magic that can distinguish between friend and foe sounds powerful, and it is actually very powerful. However, according to discussions on the forum, there is an obvious prelude, which is the activation of the Arcane Eye.
And for some reason in the Tower of the Great Sage - others don't know the inside story about the lack of auxiliary materials, but they can probably guess it - now the arcane eye cannot be opened around the clock, and the one hanging on the top of the tower can't be opened around the clock. The big eyes are a reminder that the attack is about to begin. If there is such an obvious sign, then the best tactic for the attacking party is to choose a silent surprise attack.
This is also what the Marquis of Mesaroche did.
In order to maintain concealment, he did not even allow his men to attack the town outside the tower first. They were afraid that the residents inside would report the news as soon as possible, disturbing the tower owner and causing his plan to launch a surprise attack to fail. Although the town residents had no means to contact the tower owner, even if they shouted loudly, Lin could at most just glance at them and continue to ignore them.
But what they didn't expect was that as early as a large number of dark creatures appeared within X ten kilometers (10 kilometers) of the Great Sage's Tower, the two girls hurriedly ran down the second floor and broke into the tower. In the open-air hot spring pool with a sign saying "In use".
"Teacher, teacher, there are many, many people breaking in and they don't know what to do."
Lin, who was naked buttocks, looked helplessly at Halumi, whose eyes were shining and excited, and Kaya, who had dead fish eyes and was so calm that it made people's scalp numb. Silently he sat back in the bath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Lin lowered his voice and said, "Maybe they were just passing by."
"Oh, I'm just passing by. But looking at the marks on the surveillance map, many of them are creatures with red letters specially noted by the teacher."
The wavelength of biological aura emitted by each species is slightly different. If it is a creature on the magic side, the proportions of the eight mana powers in the body will also have different emphasis, thus forming a distinguishability similar to fingerprints. Lin also made a rough distinction between the observation targets according to race. It cannot be called accurate or inaccurate because there are not enough samples observed at present.
The group of dangerous creatures with special markings are the vampires who previously tried to assassinate the owner of the magic tower and gain the legendary title of 'Killing God'. Being at both ends of the food chain, Lin Ke had never thought about coexisting peacefully with vampires. As for having a relationship with a vampire princess, Lin thinks he is not as handsome as Ning Caichen.
With a wave of his hand, Lin pulled out a water mirror by the pool, and Lin used the tower master's authority to call out the surveillance map from Halumi's mouth. With a few commands, the suspected enemies who invaded the tower's territory were counted once, totaling 971 people. Among them, there are 233 people who should belong to the vampire group, and the remaining unknown groups are seen for the first time. It can only be roughly observed that they are divided into three broad categories.
Do you want to open the Arcane Eyes to confirm? Lin thought about it in his mind for a while, then ordered the two apprentices: "You go back to the core room to make preparations, and I will arrive soon. If there is an accident, attack directly without hesitation. Before that, don't make any noise to the outside world. If the other party is really just passing by, just pretend you didn’t see it.”
"Yes, teacher." Although they answered like this, the two girls had sly smiles on their faces and squatted by the pool with no intention of leaving. Lin Ke unceremoniously stretched out his hand to push the water surface, and shouted at the same time: "Get out!" He splashed the two dead girls all over, and then they left unwillingly.
Damn it, these two ladies are becoming more and more lawless. After the two dogs talked about it once, they didn't dare to step into this holy place. Why did these two girls refuse to listen no matter what they said? They were worse than dogs.
Speaking of those two dogs, they were useless in the previous conflicts. In order to save trouble and avoid being distracted by worrying about them, I sent them away long ago. What about this time? After calling up the surveillance video outside the tower, Lin saw two dogs sleeping on their bellies under the shed, with a tongue hanging from their mouth. Looking at that fat body, he should be ready for stew.
In the eyes of the attacking party, the Tower of the Great Sage remained silent. The Marquis of Mesaroche looked at the dark coalition in front of him. In addition to being loyal to his own clan, there were also werewolf-turned-servants, dark elves and gray dwarves as allies. There are nearly a thousand people, but the individual strength is so strong that it is still effortless to deal with the human army with one against ten.
And this coalition is not a ragtag group. After several conquests in the underground world and plunder on the surface, under their own command, they were quite familiar with the tactics of cooperation. If his reputation hadn't plummeted these days, and in order to keep it secret, he only selected people who were loyal enough to go on the expedition, otherwise he could have organized a larger army to crush this inconspicuous little tower.
Now, the leaders of each tribe hold a magical scroll that shakes the earth, and are ready to surround them from all sides. According to the plan, there is no need to test or feint, just attack with all strength. Four earth-shaking magics were activated at the same time. Even if the tower did not turn into a mound, it would still collapse in half.
As for the magician inside, he will be taken back to serve as a blood slave, tortured and sucked blood every day. Let those bastards who despise themselves understand that the majesty of an ancient being cannot be violated lightly.
The Marquis of Mesaroche activated the Water Mirror Technique on the forum, and in a private discussion section, he kept pressing the 'Refresh' icon to refresh the page. One after another, other people left messages, indicating that the team had been brought to their position.
The Marquis thought to himself that maybe the tower owner never thought that the magic he had researched would become the best tool in this raid. As long as I can capture that damn guy alive, I must tell him about this and see what kind of regretful expression he will show.
In fact, if he had the opportunity to say these words to someone face to face, someone would answer him: This is why no matter how much resentment he has, he has not come up with software like Instant Messenger. Although there is a reason for the huge project, the more reason is that that thing will once again subvert the world, especially in the field of war. For a time traveler, that is an uncontrollable factor and is best avoided.
While the Marquis of Mesaroche waited for the coalition forces to move into position and hide their whereabouts through the woods, Lin put on his robe and walked back to the core room slowly, wiping his still wet hair carelessly. He thought to himself whether he should follow the example of the Earth Age and shave his hair into a square inch, or even straighten it. That would make it much easier to organize.
The two girls sat on the special computer chair at the same time, half of each other, spinning around boredly. After Lin entered the door, he asked casually: "Have those people left?"
"No, we are about to be surrounded." The girl who stopped spinning happened to be Kaya facing the surveillance map, so she pointed with her hand. Halumi from behind answered with a calm tone, not considering the enemy outside as a threat at all.
Throwing the hair towel on the two girls' heads, just covering them, Lin looked at the distribution of biological auras on the map. The enemy is divided into four parts, and it seems that they want to surround the Tower of the Great Sage from the four directions of east, west, north and south. The furthest group was still marching in a circuitous way through the woods.
Because he was already at the edge of the woods, Lin turned on the surveillance screen outside the tower to see if he could identify the enemy.
The full moon was shining brightly in the sky. However, under the cover of the tree shades, there are only black shadows moving through the trees on the screen, and it is difficult to distinguish the identity and race of the shadows. The branches swayed lightly, and it seemed that a rustling sound could be heard. They move flexibly and quickly, and they should not be new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. It is said that the individual strength of dark creatures is on average higher than that of humans, and it seems true.
As the first direction to arrive, the group of light points that did not move anymore was the Vampire Department with a red letter warning. They occupied the east side and looked like they were trying to get straight to the core room on the third floor through the gap outside the tower.
I thought they would move quickly and attack in silence. Unexpectedly, after all four parts moved to the fixed point, they remained calm and waited. There was nothing unusual on the surveillance screen. Just like countless nights in the past, the trees were swaying in the wind and their branches and leaves were swaying slightly.
Lin touched his slightly bearded chin, thinking about the other party's intentions. Did they know that I would go to the observatory to observe astronomy at night, so they planned to attack me while I was exposed and not in front of the core room console? In other words, they are sure to make a time difference and rush into the tower before they run back to the console to activate the magic circle; or even directly capture me alive when I am exposed?
After thinking for a while, Lin picked up the helmet that controlled three-dimensional imaging. After putting it on, the mask-type goggles immediately appeared in a long list of menus. There are many pre-recorded action modes on it. They were originally designed to use clones to deceive the enemy. They are just used at this time.
While controlling the clone, the main body can also perform different actions, but it is ultimately a dual purpose. Lin is just a magician who has transferred from a fat house to another, not an expert like Zhou Botong, Guo Jing, or Xiao Longnu. The result of multitasking is that whether his body or his clone, there will be some incoordination, which will inevitably make people confused. See the flaw.
So for some conventional actions, the clone can reproduce them like a video playback. When you walk out of the portal on the third floor and stand in front of the astronomical telescope to gaze at the stars, this set of actions is the clone of the video.
Sure enough, while the tower owner, Guybrash Tripwood, was concentrating on observing the celestial phenomena, enemies from all directions launched an attack. There was no roaring, no shouting to kill, just a model of a night raid with a horse picking a bell and a man holding a bell. Lin Duan sat in front of the console, watching the surveillance map and pictures, and couldn't help but admire the beautiful attack from all directions.
Only then did Lin see the appearance of the other three forces on the screen. There are gray dwarves with short legs, werewolves who are covered in hair and have a wolf head, and a race with black skin and pointed ears.
Looking at the leaders in the four directions, magic aura was rippling in their hands. On the surveillance map, you can also see that the colors of the light spots at the tips of the four directions are getting darker and darker, which means that huge mana and power are condensing, which immediately makes Lin's sense of crisis greatly increase.
No matter what, the enemy cannot be allowed to easily complete the spellcasting. This is the most important principle in the battle between magicians. This principle also applies to enemies who are preparing to use magic scrolls.
