The Magi of the central continent were not stupid.
They could tell that the invasion at the Deep Ink Valley had exceeded the scope of an ordinary plane invasion. It was a little like a war of laws.
The biggest difference between a war of laws and a war of planes was that the former was purer and more direct.
A war of planes might involve a lot of interests, resources, population, and knowledge, but a war of laws was purely a battle between factions.
In the entire multiverse, the Magi civilization was seen as the source of evil along with the calamities, abyssal creatures, subterranean creatures, and undead creatures. But in essence, they were still in completely different camps.
Magi and undead were seen as the representatives of lawful evil. They did things by hook or by crook, only seeking the final result. However, within the group, there was a strict hierarchy. When there was no direct conflict of interest, the higher-ups had a weak duty to protect and take care of the weaker ones, while the lower-ups had to follow the wishes of the higher-ups.
As for the calamities and abyssal creatures, they were the typical representatives of chaotic evil. In their camps, the superior had absolute control over the inferior, and the inferior did not have any individual power. Both sides were in a position of dominance and being dominated.
Moreover, chaotic evil creatures did not have any rules to speak of. Sometimes, even they could not completely control their next move.
At least the Magi still followed the basic rules of 'fair trade, equivalent exchange', and other rules. But the abyssal demons and calamities all believed in the bloody and barbaric rule of 'whoever has the bigger fist takes everything'. They would not make any deals or negotiations with others at all.
Killing and plundering occupied almost all of their minds!
Therefore, when the Abyss invaded the Planar World, there was no possibility of negotiation between the two sides. It was impossible for each side to take a step back. They did not care how much land they occupied, nor did they care how rich the land was. They risked their lives to invade other planes just to kill and plunder.
Kill all targets that can be killed, and plunder all resources that can be plundered!
From life to soul, they would not let a single one of them go.
Until that place became a paradise of death, and even the plane origin was plundered. In the end, the broken continent would also be dragged back to the abyss plane, becoming a part of the extremely huge abyss.
The calamities were no different from the abyssal demons.
They liked to invade one plane after another, using their powerful evil consciousness to pollute the plane origin, thus turning it into their new territory. The corrupted origin of the plane also lost control of itself, distorting all the living creatures living within it into terrifying mutated beasts.
Through this method, the Lords of Calamity would have an entire plane's supply of new soldiers!
Then, they would order these new subordinates to invade even larger planes, expanding the territory of chaotic laws like a rolling snowball.
Therefore, the reason why the calamities chose to invade the Magus World was because of the conflict between the laws of chaos and the laws of order!
Thus, the reason why the calamities chose to invade the Magus World was ultimately because of the conflict between the laws of chaos and the laws of order! However, in the face of such a collision and invasion of the Laws, both sides had no leeway at all. They could only fight with force and see whose fist was tougher in the end.
Although the wizards of the central continent were not enthusiastic about helping the Sorcerer Association, they could not resist the hatred and rage of the Sorcerer's Will towards the creatures of disaster.
Hence, under the influence of the plane's consciousness, all Magi hated these creatures of calamity from the bottom of their hearts. Coupled with the association's enticement, eight out of the thirteen rank 4 Magi from the central continent chose the aid plan.
Andrews, Milva, Mila, Ashton, and Aderick were firmly against sending reinforcements.
At a glance, the objectors were all people who were facing huge challenges within their families.
With such a big space crack in Andrews' territory, it was destined that he would have to tremble with fear during the entire period of the demonic tide, not daring to relax even a little.
Milva was no better off than Andrews. His Annemdor Academy was at war with the underworld. The evil creatures that had been hiding in the dark and gloomy underground space all year round were affected by the magic tide and wanted to come to the surface to plunder.
Naturally, Annemdor Academy, which was blocking the exit to the surface, became their primary target.
It was said that the two sides had already fought two or three times on the shallow surface of the underground, and both sides had suffered considerable losses. However, the Annemdor Academy relied on the spell facilities and dense spell traps that had been carefully built over hundreds of years to keep the subterranean creatures at bay.
However, relying on their own strength to fight against the entire underworld, no one knew how long Annemdor Academy could last.
As for the other three, Mila, Ashton, and Aderick, they were all unlucky fellows whose territories were facing a severe beast tide or invasion from another plane. Before putting out the fire in their territories, they obviously did not want to invest their strength in Moyuan Valley, which was completely out of reach.
Calamity invasion? Then let them invade!
With the Magus Association at the front, no matter how terrifying the Calamity Lords were, it would be difficult for them to pass through hundreds of thousands of miles of Black Forest and wreak havoc in the central continent.
It was this dark mentality that made them make the choice that best suited their own interests.
Out of the thirteen rank 4 Magi, eight were willing to fight, while five were against it. The remaining choices were left to Grim and Mary.
As the leaders of the central continent's Magi, they had the power to suppress everyone else. Naturally, their choice would represent the entire central continent.
Grim's gaze swept across the faces of the Magi, and a strange expression appeared on his face. He knew that almost half of the eight Magi who agreed to fight were just there to make up the numbers.
They did not really want to help the Magus Association, but they thought that Grim would never agree to the Association's conditions. This way, even if they patted their chests and stood up, they would not have to fight because of Grim's veto.
This way, both sides would owe each other a favour, and it would undoubtedly bring them additional benefits.
Grim laughed involuntarily, and then his expression turned serious as he said in a low voice, "Considering the development of the Magus World, allowing the calamity creatures to invade is clearly not in the interest of the Magus civilization as a whole. Thus, I've decided to … send troops to help the Magus Association! "
It was as if a huge bomb had been dropped into the depths of a frozen abyss, and the expressions of the Magi present all changed.
"Since most of you have agreed to fight, I'll distribute the tasks …"
"The spatial crack cannot be guarded by powerhouses. While I'm leading people to fight, Mary and Andrews will be in charge here to ensure the stability of the plane …"
"Mirva, I don't care how you fight with the subterranean world, but I won't allow any subterranean creatures to appear in the central continent during this period …"
"Yes! I'll definitely guard the exit! " Mirva hurriedly wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling a little glad that he had not chosen to fight because of the temptation of benefits.
The situation in Anemundo Academy was not looking too good recently. The subterranean creatures were like madmen, constantly attacking the exit on the surface. If he, the person in charge, was transferred to the east, the academy would no longer be able to suppress the rampaging dark creatures.
"Mira, Ashton and Aderick, stay in your family's territory and continue to resist the beast tide. Do not let them break through your defences and wreak havoc in the central continent …"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! "The three nodded in unison, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat.
"Monash? Gaia, although you've chosen to fight, the central continent needs powerhouses to hold down the fort. While I'm gone, you'll be in charge of the coordination and safety of the entire central continent. I'll get Meryl and Emelia to work with you! "
"Yes!" The gold tribe leader took a step forward and nodded in agreement.
"As for the rest of the Magi …" Grimm looked around and said indifferently, "Since you're all so enthusiastic, come with me to fight!"
The Magi looked at each other and could only bow their heads and accept the order.
In the crowd, the weaker ones like Matthew, Nicholas and the others all had bitter expressions on their faces, as if they had swallowed a gall bladder. Indescribable resentment and grievance burned their souls like wildfire.
If they were given another chance, they would never covet that 'insignificant' little benefit and place themselves in the middle of a terrifying clash of laws.
Pfft … That bastard Germaine, he's done me in!
Right, doesn't Grimm have a grudge against the Magus Association? Why did he agree to help them? Is there some secret that we don't know about?
"Everyone, get ready. We'll set off tomorrow! Alright, you guys can go now … "
Hearing Grimm's order, the Magi from the central continent could only bow and return to the Wizard's Pagoda. Looking at their bitter and resentful expressions before they left, it was obvious that they wanted to 'treat' Wizard Germaine who had led them into a trap.
As for the Magi with ulterior motives, they were curious about Grimm's sudden actions. As soon as the meeting was adjourned, they gathered together and discussed Grimm's intentions behind his actions.
Was Grimm a fool?
If Grimm was a fool, then the Magi from the central continent who had been suppressed by him were a bunch of idiots who were worse than fools …
Was the Magus Association willing to give them enough benefits?
As long as Grimm was not crazy, he would not give up on the chance to weaken the Magus Association just because of some external benefits …
What were benefits compared to the bigger picture? Even if the Magus Association brought out a mountain of Magical Crystals, treasures and resources, it would not be as good as the opportunity to watch the Magus Association suffer a great loss of power and allow the other organizations to rise!
Therefore, no matter how much they analyzed, they could not find a reason to change Grimm's mind and help the Magus Association!
