For the three people who were at war with each other, the magicians from the Sijia District and Cadiz District to which they belonged stood clearly on two sides, assisting with magic. Although their usual weapons were not in their hands, they were placed in appropriate positions. As soon as there is movement, it can be easily pulled out.
Other forces have retreated to the corners to avoid being affected. But everyone was vaguely far away from the people in the Cadiz area, and they expressed their opinions in a subtle way.
After all, it is about the unforgivable sin of summoning demons and opening the door to the abyss. The evidence seen now points to the identity of the conspirator to the president of the Cadiz District Chapter. Regardless of whether these accusations are true, no one is willing to support President Gray Otto unless he can present other evidence to prove his innocence.
However, it seems that this gentleman does not intend to clear up his grievances. As the saying goes, if the problem cannot be solved, solve the person who asked the problem. Gray Otto made no secret of his intention to attack, and Chengguo Eaton also faced a powerful enemy in order to protect his students.
For magicians at their level, the first strike is the most important thing to ignore and the most difficult to prevent, because it is impossible to know what kind of method the opponent will use and who will be targeted.
Although Gray Otto is ready to go, Orange Eaton is also an opponent that cannot be underestimated. Even if he can succeed with the first blow, he can't say that he has a guaranteed chance of victory in the expected counterattack. So he first said to Chuck Weiss: "Young man, retract your false accusations, maybe I can spare your life."
Chuck Weiss said with disdain, "You think--" It was too late to speak, but then, Gray Otto was covered in magic aura and was killing at lightning speed. The previous words were actually just a tactic to divert attention, "──Where are you staying?"
With just a snap of his fingers, Chuck Weiss did not show any panic, nor did he care about the president who bypassed his teacher and killed him. Just watching with cold eyes, the beam of light shot from the ceiling of the core room of the Tower of the Great Sage made a whirlpool-like trajectory in a clockwise direction, penetrating through the back of a long-famous great magician and dismembering his body.
Death was so sudden. It was so fast that even the magicians of the Cadiz District Chapter had no time to react, and their teacher and president died right in front of them. And just by taking such a slow step, the result is already determined, which makes everyone afraid to take any action.
Only then did they realize the meaning of Chuck Weiss's words. They were in someone else's tower, and it was also a notorious magic tower. Not to mention the power of life and death possessed by the tower, the power displayed by the Tower of the Great Sage can be said to be inexplicable. In such a dangerous place, turning against someone is no different than seeking death.
This bad mood and sense of crisis also made the magicians in Leon District and Noonan District aware of their situation.
What is the position of the president?
Perhaps the strongest magician in any branch may not be interested in the position of branch president. But the person who can sit on this chair must be the strongest among the interested people.
Now the Cadiz District Chapter, the representative of the strongest, President Gray Otto, did not have the ability to resist at all, and even a little protective magic did not work, so he died here. This reality made all the magicians present who were confident in their strength feel a bit sad.
If such an attack were directed at me, would the result be any different?
No……
"Oh, look, look, the battle situation outside has changed again. It doesn't look good."
The person who broke the silence was Juan Javier, the most famous young magician in the Southwest Peninsula and the disciple of President Jose Carlos of the Leon District Chapter.
Outside the tower, ten minutes ago.
Located at the center of the second line of defense to the east are DCXLVI (646) temple warriors led by Queen Julia III, and MCC (1200) Frank Kingdom soldiers. And just based on the gathering of more than 600 temple warriors from various gods' churches, it can be said that this place is the strongest force besides the magician alliance of the four regional branches.
And this reputation as the strongest is also reflected in their discipline. Although it was a temporarily organized team of temple warriors from all over the country, they had long been accustomed to discipline and order. After determining the status of superiors and subordinates, everyone understood that obedience was the only way to protect themselves and win.
So long before the war started, they were fully armed, organized, and fully prepared to face the devil. Except for a few officers who were leading the team and riding horses, the others stood as tightly as iron towers, with weapons and shields on the ground, ready to fight on foot at any time.
The MCC (1,200) ordinary soldiers in the rear were, after all, from the country of Yulia III, who came here to support under his instructions, and this group of people can also be regarded as the direct army of the royal family. Therefore, the temple warrior chief who doubled as the queen did not leave these soldiers to fend for themselves in the upcoming brutal battle. But take them with you. After the war started, the flanks responsible for guarding the temple warriors could be considered to have exerted their value.
When news came from the front that demons began to descend on this land, everyone cheered up and paid attention to the back of the magician coalition in Xijia District not far ahead. Whether it's a battle, or the magicians are defeated and it's their turn, you can get a glimpse of the situation behind the front line.
At the same time, the strategic magic of the Great Sage's Tower began to operate. The improved light bomb attack array struck the invading demons at an unhurried speed.
Although she had experienced the baptism of strategic magic from the Tower of the Great Sage, Yulia III had never seen the attack of the magic tower with her own eyes. So before officially engaging the demon, she, riding on the horse, looked curiously at the top of the tower, where the attack was launched.
Although the light bomb attack array in the first stage is also threatening, it has not surpassed the general perception of the Lost World. Therefore, Julia III, who was watching, wondered how such an attack could defeat the original Marquis Neumann and the nobles he led.
Before the Queen could find a reasonable answer to this situation, the attack mode at the top of the tower suddenly changed. Six light bomb attack arrays work together and increase the rate of fire to the limit. The attack speed of about two thousand rounds per minute should have stopped the devil's offensive.
However, this change, as well as the fact that a small wave of light bombs did not hit the gap in the plane, but flew in a slightly northerly direction, this abnormality made Yulia III feel uneasy. She pointed to the direction above her head and then to the northwest, which was the only Frank Kingdom soldier who was following her, all on horseback. Then she pointed to the northwest. The soldiers immediately understood.
This group of soldiers will stay with the Queen, not for fighting, but to carry out orders and other chores. Like now, they erected a siege ladder and tied four ropes to the top. The four people below tightened and fixed it, turning it into a simple watchtower. The smallest soldier climbed to the top of the ladder nimbly and looked in the direction indicated by the queen.
"Your Majesty." The soldier stood at the top of the ladder and shouted downwards: "The magician coalition in the north is missing."
It was a strange return, but Yulia III still tried hard to think about various possibilities, which would lead to such a thing as the 'disappearance' of an army. On the contrary, it was the maid who was accompanying her and one of her team members in the church sequence. Zhe Xiang shouted fiercely: "What do you mean by missing? See clearly."
"It's really missing. The entire northern defense line is empty, not a single person."
"Where are the demons? Are they mainly attacking the north and killing those magicians?"
"Probably not. The demon was still suppressed by the attack magic of the Great Sage's Tower, and did not fight any of the defense lines. Moreover, the defense line to the north seems to be intact, but there is no one there."
"What the hell, what's going on?" Zhe Xiang kicked the ground uneasily and cursed. At the same time, several representatives from the leading officers of the temple warriors and the leading nobles of the rear soldiers came and gathered around the queen.
Instructing everyone not to ask questions yet, Yulia III personally asked the soldiers on the lookout: "What is the situation of the second and third lines of defense in the north? Is there any chaos?"
"Your Majesty, it doesn't look like there's much movement. You should stay where you are."
The old knight who was loyal to the royal family suggested at this time: "Your Majesty, should we move the defense line back a little?"
"Back off? Why?" Yulia III asked.
The old knight said: "That magician coalition has disappeared. No matter what the reason is, the gap in the defense line will inevitably be broken through by demons, which will cause greater chaos. By then, we may not be able to leave even if we want to. So retreat now. The distance is so long that if you want to leave then, you won’t be delayed by the chaotic situation, Your Majesty.”
"Yeah~, rejected." Yulia III readily refused. She looked at the gray-haired old knight and said: "If we retreat based on this kind of intelligence without the commander's instructions, then we will become the laughing stock of others. Don't worry, just do what we can. Just do it. If it really comes time to retreat, I guarantee that most of you can go back alive."
"Your Majesty!" The old knight seemed to still want to struggle. But Yulia III waved her hand and stopped looking at this subordinate, and the matter was considered decided.
Several other leaders of the temple warriors rode horses and came to the side of the temple warrior chief. "Your Majesty, should we push the front a little further so that we can support the magician coalition in front in time?"
"First of all, they didn't ask for support and we stepped forward without permission. The most likely scenario would be to beat us up as well. At least I would do that. Secondly, with the strategic magic of the Tower of the Great Sage, the demons were temporarily suppressed. , is not a problem yet, but this situation will not last long. Except for some special individuals whose strength is indeed higher than that of humans, the most frightening thing about the demon army is their number. When the attack of the magic tower is at full capacity, It's our turn. I think the chaos in the north is inevitable, but at least we have to be stable."
