Roddy had his doubts about the ban on spell-casting, but he was obviously more cautious. Previously, he would rather believe in Houdini's unreliable dream. Now, he was willing to follow Edith's kind advice.
Initially, they thought that the two of them would be facing the Magic Tower and the remaining Holy Assembly mages. However, when Kardashian flew close to the target, she suddenly lowered her flying altitude and silently landed on the ground …
"What's wrong?"
"There are people in front, and there are quite a few of them."
Kardashian's expression turned slightly solemn. Roddy tightened his grip on the quiver and followed up with the bow in his hand.
Three hundred meters away, the Holy Assembly elder Kyle's team had already arrived in front of the Magic Tower.
The mages who were monitoring the exterior of the Magic Tower, of course, recognized the identity of the elder. As Dominic's right-hand man, the mage named Dana was quite powerful. At the same time, he was also one of the most famous think tanks in the Holy Assembly. Before Dominic seized the Magic Tower, he had listened to Dana's suggestion and used all his assets to control the core of the Magic Tower. Because of this, he had been able to advance rapidly and become an elder for more than ten years.
Now that another elder had suddenly appeared beside the Magic Tower, Dana was shocked and immediately realized that something big had happened. However, he still pretended to be calm and asked even though he already knew the answer, "Elder Kyle? May I know the reason for your sudden visit? Elder Dominic is out on a mission and has yet to return to the Magic Tower. "
He was standing in front of the window on the second floor of the Magic Tower as he spoke. Due to the effect of the Concealment Barrier, the others could not see the appearance of the Magic Tower. In their vision, Dana had suddenly appeared five meters above the ground. It was obvious that he was on guard against them.
"So Mage Dana is here."
Elder Kyle's words were not domineering at all. Instead, he was very polite. That was because he did not believe that the other elders would be able to find the devil tower as quickly as he did. So, at this time, his mind was full of thinking about how to "outsmart" the devil tower … After all, as a member of the "Holy Assembly", he did not think of mobilizing troops against his own people who had already suffered heavy losses.
"Perhaps the report from the frontline hasn't reached here yet, so I'm here to inform you that Elder Dominic's team encountered fierce resistance in Elsen City and was eventually killed."
Although his words were within Dana's expectations, it still made this mage feel dizzy … After all, it was Elder Dominic who had personally come, and all the people he brought were elites. How could they die just like that?
Then why did they come here?
Daena narrowed his eyes and quickly understood the intentions of Kyle and the others. As a mage, of course, he knew how important this Magic Tower was. If it wasn't for his lack of strength, he would definitely want to take the Magic Tower for himself. However, as one of the most famous think tanks of the Holy Assembly, he naturally wouldn't be controlled by this simple desire.
The more he understood this Magic Tower, the more Daena felt an indescribable awe towards it. At the same time, he gradually understood a fact: Even Dominic hadn't completely controlled all the spaces in the Magic Tower after so many years … It could even be said that this elder had only touched the surface of the Magic Tower, and was still a distance away from "controlling" it.
Although he was in the Magic Tower and had a small part of the authority, Dominic himself and all his subordinates could only be considered as "temporary" members of the Magic Tower. They couldn't be called "masters" at all.
Now that Kyle had come here, naturally, he wanted to take the Magic Tower for himself. In terms of strength, the mages in Elder Dominic's faction were seriously injured. Even if they fought for it, they wouldn't be able to. If Daena had the authority to "attack" the Magic Tower, he would be more than happy to solve this problem. Unfortunately, he only had the authority to open the door of the Magic Tower and a very small part of it …
Daena had considered the possibility of the other party cheating, but the elders weren't blindly confident. They clearly knew how powerful the Magic Tower would be in the hands of the controller. If the controller was still alive, it wouldn't be easy to strip the identity of the Tower Master. So in the end, there was a 99% chance that Dominic was really dead.
After weighing the pros and cons, Daena felt that his best choice now was to change his course. However, he also knew that he couldn't be too happy, so he said, "Elder Kyle, then why did you bring these people here?"
"This place is too close to Elsen City. After the attack, the castellan is frantically searching for traces of this Magic Tower. So the Holy Assembly has decided to immediately take back control of the Magic Tower to prevent it from being used by the enemy."
Kyle had prepared this speech a long time ago. Anyway, the mages in the Magic Tower had blocked the information. Taking advantage of the asymmetry of information, whatever he said could not be verified by the other party, so he could only choose to believe it.
But he didn't expect that he was right.
"What happens after the Magic Tower is taken back? Elder Kyle, please forgive my rudeness. After all, I have to consider the other members in the Magic Tower. "
Daena naturally had to leave a way out for his people. After all, he was quite famous in the Holy Assembly. As a counselor, he didn't have to worry about personal development. However, the people he had spent a lot of time to build up would not be able to survive in such a drastic change. If he wanted to stand out, he couldn't just rely on himself. He knew this a long time ago.
"Mage Daena is very familiar with every part of the Magic Tower. After the Magic Tower is taken back by the Holy Assembly, we will naturally have to rely on the mages to control it."
Kyle spoke very politely and even took out a scroll. "If you don't trust me, here is a magic contract you can sign."
This showed that he was very sincere. Daena narrowed his eyes. He could clearly feel that the other party was a little anxious. He thoughtfully raised his head and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he said, "Elder Kyle, is that your team over there?"
These words made Kyle's expression change. He turned his head and found that there was indeed a team approaching from the forest behind him. Seeing this, he didn't want to waste time with Daena. He immediately shouted, "Let me in now. In the future, you will be my first assistant!"
As he spoke, he directly led the team towards the door of the Magic Tower. It was obvious that he wanted to occupy the Magic Tower as soon as possible. Daena knew that those who were easily swayed would not have a good ending. If he didn't open the door now, he would definitely become enemies with this elder. Therefore, after fighting for the biggest benefit, he didn't waste time talking nonsense. He chanted a spell to make the invisible barrier of the Magic Tower disappear. Then he opened the door of the Magic Tower. "Elder Kyle! After entering the Magic Tower, remember to not cast any spells and avoid conflict with others! "
Kyle didn't reply. He had already realized that the team behind him was Elder Aubrey's team. The other team had a high ratio of mages. Everyone had cast all kinds of spells and rushed inside with all their might. Kyle's own team had the highest ratio of arcane warriors. Although they were full of stamina and could move fast, their explosive speed in a short period of time was obviously not as fast as those who had the support of spells.
Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to do his best to charge forward and lead everyone into the Magic Tower. After all, the internal decision of the "Holy Assembly" was that whoever controlled the Magic Tower first would be the one to control it. The earlier they entered, the earlier they would have the hope of controlling the core area.
His thoughts were not wrong. However, he had clearly underestimated Elder Aubrey's determination towards the Magic Tower. Using several scrolls to speed up, he brought the eight mages with him and flew close to the ground. In the blink of an eye, they had rushed from a hundred meters away to behind Kyle and the others.
"Buzz."
A large barrier appeared in front of everyone. Of course, Aubrey didn't want Kyle to enter first. He cast a spell with the intention of stopping him.
"Damn it!"
Kehr cursed angrily as he unsheathed his sword and slashed forward. A bright blue light instantly struck the barrier, but it only managed to leave a large crack. Seeing this, all the Arcane Warriors in the team unsheathed their swords in unison and finally managed to break the barrier. However, the light did not lose its momentum as it struck the demon tower, causing it to hum.
The window that Dana had opened above disappeared at the same time.
Kyle did not notice this. He only stared at the door and shouted without turning his head, "Charge forward! Obstruct us at the back! "
In the next moment, he and the Arcane Warriors behind him collectively activated the "Dash" skill. Every step they took covered a distance of almost 15 meters, forcibly leaving the Mages who were chasing after them behind. They took the lead and stepped onto the top of the magic tower's base, directly rushing through the door.
The soldiers at the back formed a "human wall" to block them. Although the two sides did not fight, Aubrey, who had to go around, was naturally slowed down again.
"Shameless Kyle!"
Elder Aubrey, who was following behind, was flustered and exasperated. He knew that he was indeed a step too late. He glared fiercely at the arcane warriors in front of him. He also did not notice the abnormality of the Magic Tower after it was attacked. At this time, he was thinking about the composition of Kyle's team. That guy was not proficient in magic. In the Magic Tower of a Grand Arcanist, how could this "illiterate" guy have an advantage?
Thinking of this, Aubrey felt a lot better. He slowed down his flying speed and quickly said to the eight mages beside him, "Don't get separated after entering! Get into formation and wait for me! "
After saying this, he turned to the fifteen arcane warriors in front of him. "Kyle is already in the lead. Everyone, stop here."
He knew that there were still some sappers and five arcanists behind Kyle who had not entered, so he raised his hand and cast a giant barrier, blocking the arcane warriors and these people outside.
"Sorry, everyone."
As elders of the "Holy Assembly", there was naturally no need to fight to the death in the internal competition. Aubrey's words naturally gave them a way out. The arcane warriors and arcanists who were blocked also understood that there was no need for them to struggle, so they all raised their hands to indicate that they had given up.
In order to increase his chances of seizing the Magic Tower, Elder Aubrey naturally wanted everyone to rush into the tower. He had always been calm and meticulous in his work. Because he had some understanding of the Magic Tower, he knew that the complexity inside was far from what a dabbler like Kyle could handle … That guy did not bring arcanists in, which was basically equivalent to cutting off an arm. Even if Aubrey was left alone to search, it would be difficult for him to find the core.
"Crawford fell behind this time. It is already a matter of time before I get the Magic Tower!"
