"Tell me? Are you worthy?" The Storm Queen's silver hair moved automatically, and the terrifying magic power gathered around her. Because the speed was so fast, a whirlwind was formed at the center of it. This kind of magic power gathered at an appalling speed.
It seemed that in a single thought, all the magic power around her gathered around her, including those red-robed mages who were secretly vigilant and secretly gathering magic power. They felt that their control over magic power was greatly weakened, and many of them were forcibly taken away by the other party.
This is the most disgusting part of having a magical confrontation with these chosen ones of the Goddess of Magic.
No matter how high their magic career level is, they still belong to outsiders. The other person is their biological child. Their use of magic nets and affinity for magic are far beyond what they can match.
The same magic, whether it is cast speed or power, is naturally different.
Xinbu, whose figure was already enveloped by the thunderstorm, said extremely domineeringly, "Either let Sazas come here to meet me, or I will personally go to the highest peak of the Ser Mountains to meet him."
The entire Serre is pyramid-shaped, with the Serre Mountains in the center being the highest, surrounded by the Serre Plateau, and further down is the Serre Plain.
The headquarters of the Red Robe Mage is located on the highest peak of the Ser Mountain Range.
If other people said that they could conquer the Ser Mountains by themselves, they would definitely be laughed out of the room and regarded as an idiot.
But if the woman in front of him said it, no one would dare to think so, because the other party had indeed done it before, and the forced red-robed mage would adjust his defense measures.
But whether it can stop the opponent is still unknown.
Even if the opponent is the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, she will not be able to conquer the Kingdom of Ser on her own, but the destruction she will bring is absolutely astonishing.
All the red-robed mages present knew that the Storm Queen was making excuses. They were all the best among the best, and they had already guessed the purpose of this meeting before attending the meeting.
It is nothing more than holding back the core legendary power of the Kingdom of Ser under the guise of talks, making it impossible for them to support the Kingdom of Leatherman on a large scale, let alone the Lord of Blight who attacked Usmail City.
"The Queen is as impatient as ever, am I here?" A dark wind carried Charity's voice.
This evil wind didn't look strong, but it was on par with the storm rolled up by Xinbu. It kept hitting him, and then neutralized it, revealing the kind-hearted old scholar inside.
No one present would be deceived by his disguise, and everyone knew his true nature as a lich.
"First Chief."
All the red-robed mages present stood up to pay tribute at the same time, and then gave up their seats on the throne.
Regardless of whether they had any objections to Thazas's rule, at this moment, they were sincere.
Because the other party's appearance helped them resolve a fatal crisis.
This kind of negotiation is about balance of power. Once the other party has overwhelming power, why would they want to stalemate with you?
Wouldn't it be cleaner to kill them directly and be ready to support the battlefield at any time?
The five red-robed mages and the chief mages can compete with King Asan and the Palace Archmage, but with one more Storm Queen, the balance will be seriously imbalanced.
"Sazas, you are as hypocritical as ever. Since you have come early, why are you hiding? Who are you wearing this disguise for? It looks awkward!" The Storm Queen waved her hand, and a ball of terrifying magic power surged towards Sazas. .
"How dare you take action against the First Chief!"
"Queen Xinbu, you are provoking a war!"
The two chief red-robed mages worked together to form a spell shield, blocking the six chief red-robed mages. On the contrary, Sazas himself just stared at the Storm Queen coldly and did not take action.
puff!
When two magics collide, what is produced is not a violent explosion, but annihilation.
Whether it was the storm queen's impact magic or the mage shields of the two red-robed mages, they disappeared at the same time. Also disappearing was the magical disguise on Sazas, showing his sinister lich essence.
"Do you think I will be afraid of war?" The Storm Queen pursed her sexy red lips slightly and raised her sword eyebrows, full of provocation, "The war has come, and you idiots, for a little selfishness, chose to stand in the entire Eastern Region, and even The opposite of all of Faerûn.”
Sazas turned a blind eye to the Storm Queen's provocation. He cast an endless cold gaze on King Asan and asked, "King Asan, is this your way of hospitality?"
King Yasan coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty Xinbu, since the first chief is here, why don't we sit down and talk about how to reduce the use of weapons in the Eastern Region when facing foreign enemies? It’s better to use less weapons.”
"Since His Majesty Yasan said so, I will listen to their explanation." The Storm Queen waved her long skirt and sat down proudly. She also raised her knife and fork unceremoniously, and her eating appearance was even better than that of King Yasan. Be bold.
She was different from Sazas who was sneaking around and peeping. She had really just withdrawn from the extraterritorial front. She couldn't even remember the last time she had a meal.
Although eating is no longer a daily necessity for her, if she has the opportunity to enjoy delicious food, she will never let it go.
Sazas has no intention of fighting with Storm Queen Xinbu. This woman is a lunatic. She often does things that harm others and does not benefit herself, calling it a good cause.
King Yasan said straight to the point: "We have organized a Faerun coalition. I believe it cannot be hidden from the eyes of the chiefs. It won't be long before our army will arrive in the Kingdom of Sesk to fight against the countries in the Eastern Region. The barbaric invasion of the Tukan people, I wonder if you, Ser, are going to continue to stand stubbornly with those foreigners and fight against the entire continent? Or will you abandon the dark side and join the ranks of our coalition? "
"What is darkness? What is light?" Sazas asked coldly, "Don't whitewash your actions in such a high-sounding way. If you really repel those Tukan people, you will remove all the troops from Cesk as promised. Evacuate? Not occupy every city and town here?"
"I promise to withdraw all the troops from the Kingdom of Cormyr and not a single soldier will be retained." King Asan made an impassioned statement without even thinking about it.
"snort!"
The six chief red-robed mages couldn't help but snorted coldly. From childhood to adulthood, they grew up in a completely selfish environment. They could never truly understand the meaning of selflessness, let alone believe that someone would give money and effort purely for the sake of justice. .
"There is no need to tell them that these are useless. They will not believe any promises. In their eyes, the greatest value of a contract is to tear it up."
The Storm Queen, who was extremely familiar with the red-robed mage, said in a mocking tone, "You should tell them how to leave a way out for themselves.
If they follow those foreigners all the way to the dark side, once they are defeated, they can still retreat to the endless wilderness.
What should you do with the Kingdom of Ser? You can't run away. What will you do against the Faerun coalition then? "
"Aren't you a master of justice? How can you invade other countries?"
"If attacking other countries is called invasion, attacking you, Ser, is considered revenge. What? You are only allowed to invade other countries, and others are not allowed to declare war on you. There is a price to pay for everything you do." Queen Aglalon Pressing harder and harder.
King Asan remained silent and supported the Storm Queen with a tacit attitude. After all, she had been fighting with the red-robed mages for many years and knew their style of behavior very well. With her in charge, it would be easier for her to gain the upper hand.
"Don't be slanderous. We did not assist the Tukans in invading other countries this time. Up to now, our soldiers have not even taken a step outside the borders of Ser." Sazas responded without emotion, "On the contrary, Ms. Are you going to use the coalition forces to avenge your Aglalon private life?"
"Assisting the enemy does not necessarily have to involve sending troops. Please explain to me first what happened to the 10,000 tons of grain, 100,000 slaves and tens of thousands of magic wands that you traded to the Tukan people?"
"That was not what we traded to them, but when they came to the city, we had no choice but to make it. If not, it would not be the Leatherman Kingdom that is being penetrated through the country now, but us, Sel."
"You will disown the relationship, but who will believe this kind of rhetoric?"
"What I said is the truth. If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."
The two sides started a war of words. The chief red-robed mages of the Ser Kingdom refused to admit it even if they were killed. They formed an alliance with the Tukan people, claiming that they were also victims and did not send troops to invade the East with the Tukan people. Domain means invasion of Faerûn.
Although they do not believe in the so-called righteousness or the so-called justice, they will fully use them as tools to blackmail their enemies.
Some things can be done secretly, but they can never be acknowledged openly.
The situation of supporting the Tukan people to tear up the entire Eastern Region is such a situation.
Neither King Asan nor Queen Xinbu of Agolalon expected that the red-robed mage could change his mind and join their Faerun coalition through just one meeting.
Even if the other party really chooses to join, they don't dare to give the slightest trust to this evil force in their bones. Instead, they worry that the other party will stab them in the back.
Their main purpose is to contain the high-level legendary power of the red-robed mages, and their secondary purpose is to warn these red-robed mages so that they will be afraid to let go and fully assist the Tukan people.
Just like the Storm Queen had just threatened them, what would the Tukan people do if they were defeated?
In fact, Xinbu didn't need to remind him at all. The cunning red-robed mages had already considered this aspect.
This can be seen from their military operations. From beginning to end, they only provided material and momentum assistance to the Tukan people.
Although they have accumulated a large number of troops in the Chessel Province at the border with the Leatherman Kingdom, the explanation they gave was not to invade the Leatherman Kingdom, but to prevent the Tukan people from sending troops south again to attack them in Sessel. .
The Tukan people's arrogant military front was blocked by the second line of defense formed by the Leatherman Kingdom using Asen Lake.
Serge's movements became even smaller, almost extinct.
From beginning to end, Sayre's red-robed mages aimed to reap the benefits and use the help of the Tukan people to eradicate the old enemy of the Kingdom of Leatherman, rather than directly intervene in this war.
Whether it is the Leatherman Kingdom and the Tukan army who are fighting to the death in Assen Lake, or the Faerun coalition and the Ser Kingdom having a high-level meeting in the wilderness, they all know that they are the foil this time, and the real highlight is in Ukraine. Smel City.
The small city that was originally insignificant to this war has now become an extremely important breaking point for the Tukan people. Once this city is destroyed, it will not be as simple as the Leatherman Kingdom losing the possibility of supplying supplies from the Great Valley Road. Instead, the Tukan people planted a poisonous thorn in the back of the Leatherman Kingdom, and the war situation is likely to be reversed.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the attack and defense of this small town.
Only Gavin himself knows that this offensive and defensive battle is the reason why the power of his destiny is stirring. In his previous life, this army of withered demon trees did not exist. Usmail City has never been involved in the Tukan invasion from the beginning to the end. During the war.
Because the Faerun Alliance has never set foot here, but has set its sights on the Kingdom of Sesk.
Gavin had already been mentally prepared for this. His mentality had been adjusted as early as halfway through the road to conqueror. As his abilities continued to grow, the whirlpool of destiny stirred up became bigger and bigger, no matter who he was. Wherever he goes, he will change the fate of countless people.
The future in your own memory can only be used as a reference. You cannot trust it completely, otherwise it will only harm yourself.
Rather than believing this, it is better to use his own hands to fight and change the direction of the future. This is his ultimate goal.
As night fell, the hearts of all the defenders in Uxmail City rose again.
Every few minutes, several arrows with daylight attached to them will be shot out. They will cut through the darkness, attach to the location where the arrow lands, and illuminate the surrounding area of more than ten meters.
But the moment it hits the ground, it will be submerged.
This method of attaching daylight to arrows for long-distance lighting certainly breaks the restriction that daylight can only be used at close range, but it also has a new flaw. The arrow as a light source is easily blocked.
The daylight technique flies in the air, enough for the city defenders to see clearly the situation below.
Everyone who could see the situation clearly couldn't help but take a breath of air.
The withered army has pressed forward again under the cover of night, but the leader is no longer the withered branch monster, but the withered vine monster.
You can tell by the name, they look like countless vines put together.
They jumped directly into the pit and took root on the half-cooked carcasses of the beasts. Countless vines sprouted from their bodies and soon formed a network of vines above their heads, covering the pit. stand up.
The dead branch monsters stepped on these vine nets, easily crossed the pit, and rushed towards Uxmail City.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The enemy has launched a full-scale attack."
"Illuminating arrow, don't stop the illuminating arrow, illuminate the enemy's position."
"Fireball, maximum range, coverage attack."
"The fire glue bottle, throw the fire glue bottle quickly, and first illuminate the situation within a dozen meters below the city wall."
The city of Uxmail was fully prepared for the night attack.
They first used lighting arrows to determine the location of the withered army, and blazing fireballs flew out from the city wall.
The fireball technique has extraordinary lethality against these activated plants.
As long as the dead branch monsters within the impact point, even if they were swept by the flame shock wave, there was no possibility of surviving. They were all blasted into real dead branches and ignited.
In just one round, hundreds of rings of fire burst into flames, illuminating the surrounding environment.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of cocoa bottles were smashed not far from the city wall.
This kind of alchemical item is usually used as an offensive weapon. Once it hits the target, the flammable and extremely viscous fire glue inside will adhere to the body and burn for a long time, making it difficult to extinguish.
Now it is mainly used as a lighting tool to assist in identifying the attack progress of the withered army.
"Stop the attack, stop the attack, this is a feint, this is a feint, everyone obey orders and save ammunition."
After the city of Usmail was bombarded indiscriminately, it was discovered that the attack of the withered army was louder than thunder.
Those fireball spells seemed to be very fruitful. In fact, the number of burning blight monsters inside was no more than ten, and some even had only two or three groups, or even none. The more powerful wither vine monsters and wither branch monsters were even more. None seen.
This means that their formation is very sparse, and hundreds of dead branch monsters will be killed by hundreds of fireballs, which will definitely be a huge loss.
After the battlefield was lit up, the dead branch monsters immediately retreated like a tide and disappeared into the darkness again. They were waiting for the flames to extinguish before making a comeback.
Whether it is a ignited deadwood monster or fire glue, the burning time will not last too long.
This was repeated three times, and only an hour had passed.
Several commanders in Usmail City suddenly became a little anxious and gathered together in unison.
"I didn't expect that the withered army with command and the army without command are completely two kinds of armies. Not only did they maximize their own advantages, but they were also able to use feint tactics. It seems that I underestimated them a bit." When we met, Ge Wen immediately took the initiative to admit his mistake.
According to the previous progress, he thought he could kill this withered army alive under the city of Usmail.
After all, the magical power they hold in their hands is considerable. If they attack head-on, even if their number is doubled, they will not be able to withstand their indiscriminate bombardment.
Who would have thought that the other party was just using a simple feint tactic, and it would cause them a big headache.
"We have only considered how to deal with the all-out attack of the withered army, but we have not considered what to do if they choose to besiege the city for a long time. They are a group of activated plants that require neither logistical supplies nor rest. We cannot consume them." Archdruid Hanso put forward another possibility with a sad face.
