After watching a group of people talk nonsense for a long time, President Cheng Guo? Eaton also felt tired. And the funniest thing is that these people know their position, but they deliberately say these words to disgust people.
It’s just that they’ve watched too many monkey shows, so it’s time for these people to stop. Uncontrolled behavior will only offend people. So the president only asked: "After so much discussion, have you decided who will lead the army when we go to the Tower of the Great Sage this time?"
In one word, everyone present was choked. Chengguo? Yidun was very interested, looking at everyone's faces as if they were eating shit.
The great magician who had been shouting the loudest now said hesitantly: "Mr. President, such an important coalition expedition is always led by you personally. What does it have to do with us? relation?"
"I don't agree with your opinions. So if I lead the army, I will only do things according to my own ideas, and I will not condone anyone to violate military discipline. After all, this time is to fight against the invasion of the abyss, not to bully the weak. In this country, the coalition forces will definitely win. This kind of understanding does not exist in this upcoming war." Cheng Guo Eaton made his attitude very clear, but he also saw a few unwilling ones. Man, that look of indignation. So he smiled and continued:
"But most of you have different opinions than mine, and of course I have to respect your opinions. So the best way is for me to appoint one of you to lead the army. And I will stay at the rear, arrange various logistics supplies, and become the leader of the army. With the help of Who is going to be this person?”
Everyone was silent, Cheng Guo? Eaton only thought it was funny. With a flimsy order, someone else's child is asked to fight to the death on the front line while he sits at home. This kind of situation can only happen in the world of aristocrats. In the world of magicians, this is not the case.
None of the magicians who can climb to high positions in the association and hold important leadership positions are because of their noble blood or the support of everyone. There is only one factor that can bring them status, and that is their ability to fight. And Cheng Guo? Eaton sat on the throne of president just because he was the best at fighting.
In other words, if magicians encounter a war and want to lead others, they cannot hide behind the battlefield. If you don't rush to the front, you are not a leader. Similarly, as long as the leader dares to rush, the people led will follow blindly.
This is because the loosely organized magicians formed an alliance for a certain purpose. If you want to quickly become a rope, the best way is to use strict military discipline. This military discipline can be said to completely exclude personal thoughts and ideas, and everything is based only on the opinions of the leader.
Therefore, the character of the leader will greatly affect the entire magician coalition. If the president is willing to give up this important position, under normal circumstances, this would be a coveted job, and everyone would be fighting for it. But if the opponent is the Tower of the Great Sage, the bloody list of the dead is a warning to everyone.
A Dharma sage once said this in history: No one is safe within my sight. This sentence explains the biggest difference between the war between magicians and the war between nobles or races.
In the latter war, even if the king comes to the battlefield in person, as long as he hides in a place surrounded by people, he can talk and laugh safely and enjoy a war up close. When it comes to magicians, as long as you are seen, you have to pay attention to the long-range magic that will fly over at any time and blur your face.
As we all know, for magic to be locked, it must be within the sight of the caster. Most of the strategic magics possessed by the magic tower are far more powerful than what an individual can cast.
However, the Tower of the Great Sage has the Arcane Eye, and proves that strategic light bomb attack arrays can be used in conjunction with it. This means that within the surveillance range of the Arcane Eye, you must be aware of being targeted and attacked by the strategic magic of the magic tower.
So to lead a coalition of magicians and blatantly show hostility, you must have the consciousness to attack a magic tower despite the overwhelming forbidden spells. And he did this on the eve of the abyss invasion.
Even if a surprise attack is launched, no one can guarantee that the tower master's counterattack before his death will remain intact. Even when you go out to capture the opponent, even if you are not present, you must have your own trusted followers to lead the people below to do what you want.
Just like when asking the tower owner to give up the tower, President Cheng Guo Eaton also agreed. The chief who sends his own students is an attitude. But everyone thought that this was a sign of the president's submission to everyone's opinions. When he asked to go further, the old man directly said that if you want to play, you can go and play by yourself, which was a huge embarrassment to everyone.
Dissatisfied? The illustrious reputation that the president has accumulated in the past is not a country story touted by bards, but a real achievement, which makes everyone have to be convinced, and they dare not not be convinced.
And magicians are not like warriors. Soldiers grow old and infirm, and the older they get, the less able they are to fight. The older the magician is, the more tricks he has. He can't kill you head-on, but there are many shady tricks. Therefore, no one dares to take it lightly, even if they are old and dying. Because a magician who is lying on the bed and living without a breath can still reward people with a big disintegration spell.
Therefore, even though the president is the oldest, he still has many difficulties in daily activities, and it is difficult to hide his old age. But in the face of the president's tough attitude, no one dared to say a word. That guy is really not afraid of fighting with others, and he has a good chance of winning.
Just like clamoring, no one dares to face the Tower of the Great Sage directly. Because of the various performances and achievements of that tower, no one dared to say that they could capture that antique tower from a thousand years ago at a small price.
For a group of people who are deeply dissatisfied with this approach but have no choice but to settle for the next best thing. He said without any confidence: "Even so, we cannot agree that the tower master should just leave. Everyone has a responsibility to fight against the invasion of the abyss, so why can he retreat to a safe place in the rear?"
"I know what you are planning. Many people are rumored that it is inevitable to miss the mark in the war, or the rescue is not enough. But have you ever thought that even if you hand over the identity of the tower owner, it does not mean that One person has completely lost control. As long as he is still within the range of the magic tower, we don't know what other methods he will use. If someone carelessly comes to trouble him while the war is in full swing, and That one is recklessly calling the magic tower to protect himself. Who can guarantee that doing so will not have any impact on the battlefield? If it makes things worse, who should I blame?"
For a reason that was so powerful that it left people speechless, all the magicians present fell silent. It is true that the magician has the power of life and death in the magic tower, but this does not mean that when people are outside the tower, they are soft persimmons at the mercy of others. Various control methods make the magician still threatening even if he is outside the tower.
As for the control of the magic tower, it cannot be completely taken away by handing over the talisman of the tower owner's identity. The magic technology in the Lost World has not advanced to that level yet. Except for the very powerful and intelligent tower spirit, which completely controls everything in the tower, the control of most magic towers is only firmly grasped by the people who live in it after years of transformation and familiarity.
The most useful moment for a tower owner is when he takes over the sealed and ownerless magic tower. To open the door and activate various functions of the entire tower, Jufan had to rely on the secret spell scroll provided by the association containing the tower owner's certification for the first time.
It is precisely because it is so difficult to completely take away control. In the world of magicians in the Lost World, there is a secret that most people know but are not allowed to disclose, that is, every magic tower has an association left behind. the back door. This is also the biggest reason why the inspectors dare to attack the tower with only a few people.
As for the successor of each tower owner, in the early stage, they mostly try to find the backdoor left by the association, repair it, or bypass it. In short, they want to avoid the situation of someone taking over the tower.
But no one stipulates that only one back door can be opened. Almost as soon as the Magic Tower falls into an ownerless situation, some special engineering teams will move in and do some things that are not humane to outsiders. Among the many measures and means, one or two will always work. This is the real reason why the Magician Association is not afraid of any tower master.
However, on the Tower of the Great Sage, the president could only smile three times.
The methods left behind by the association in secret are nothing more than interrupting the flow of mana and power to various parts of the magic tower, or seizing control of traps and access control, making the magic tower's defense measures equivalent to nothing. Various operations only target existing facilities and traps. Moreover, it is clear that each successive tower owner will not be able to abandon the original facilities of the magic tower in a short period of time. As time goes by, there will always be some omissions, which will become the killer of the association.
The original Tower of the Great Sage has been ranked at the bottom of the order of importance. In the records, magic traps and the like are in a semi-abandoned state, with no possibility of use, and of course no need to do anything. The secret hand behind the access control has never been passive. The previous tower owners came to this tower more like they were looking for a place to eat and wait to die.
Faced with this situation where the tower is not good enough and the people are not good enough, if the association wants to take down the magic tower, there is no need to use those secret hands. It can send a team of inspectors to make the tower owner kneel down.
But today's Tower of the Great Sage has been changed beyond recognition.
All kinds of unimaginable magic traps possess the huge power of forbidden spell level. The settings and measures that make people confused have the same effect that they don’t understand. Maybe the secret hand behind the access control is still there, but as long as you understand the methods of that tower, even if the door is open, who dares to enter? As for interrupting the energy supply, it is even more of a joke. How many of the original transmission channels for mana and power still exist?
Chengguo Eaton has no personal dislike for the tower owner. It can even be said that he admires him. But this feeling of being unable to control was what prompted him to decide to reclaim the magic tower.
