Normal humans would never be able to understand the thoughts of a Legendary powerhouse. Even if the three elders held high positions in the Malfa Family, and could even accuse the patriarch of wrongdoing, it was all meaningless in front of a Legendary powerhouse. The slightest mistake could cause them to be doomed eternally. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the study became silent. The three elders who had come to denounce the Malfa Family now stood there timidly, not even daring to breathe loudly …
"I allowed Hutton to form an alliance in the Blackstone Mountains. Don't mention this again …" Cheyenne's voice sounded very calm. It was as if he was not talking about an alliance that concerned the survival of the Malfa Family, but a burnt piece of bread in the morning.
"Yes." However, when these plain words entered the ears of the three elders, they did not dare to neglect them at all. They hurriedly and respectfully agreed to it.
"Alright, Sorenson. Show me the letter from the Tower of Dusk." After resolving Sorenson's predicament with a few words, Cheyenne finally took the letter from the Tower of Dusk that was requesting for help.
The content of the letter was not very long. It was only a few hundred words. In fact, if not for Beckley's superfluous words, the content of the letter would have been even shorter …
In just a short while, Cheyenne had finished reading the letter. Then, a rare smile appeared on his cold, marble-like face.
"Hehe, this President Felic is really interesting …"
"Teacher …" Hutton opened his mouth, wanting to explain on behalf of that President Felic. He had no choice, as he had read the letter before. Although the wording was rather tactful, there was an aggressive and forceful tone in the words that could not be concealed. Even he could see this. How could a smart person like Cheyenne not see the true meaning of the letter?
This was going to cause big trouble. Which powerhouse who could step into the Legendary-realm was not arrogant to the core? How could they tolerate such coercion?
"It's nothing …" Cheyenne smiled and shook his head. He did not look as angry as Hutton had imagined. "This President Felic is only in his twenties, but he has already stepped into the Legendary-realm. This is indeed shocking. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is unprecedented. It is normal for him to have a temper … Don't worry, I will not stop the Malfa Family from forming an alliance with the Tower of Dusk because of this letter. Only youths like you would be impulsive to reject a powerful ally just because of a moment of anger. I have long passed the age of being impulsive …"
When Cheyenne said that, there was an undisguised sense of admiration in his smile. It was unknown whether he was admiring the young President's talent or the power revealed in the letter.
"Alright, Hutton, you will be in charge of supporting the Tower of Dusk this time. You decide when to set off and who we need."
"Yes, Teacher."
"Big Brother …" Grom panicked when he saw that the reinforcements were about to come. "We can't do that. We still don't know where the Tower of Dusk came from. We can't bet the future of the Malfa Family on them so easily. Why don't we wait a little longer? Let's wait until they are done with the Syer Bandits. If they can really wipe out the Syer Bandits, it would mean that they are really qualified to form an alliance with the Malfa Family … "
"Qualified? Haha … "Cheyenne was still smiling, but this time, Grom felt his hair stand on end." Grom, I think you're getting more and more muddle-headed as you get older … "Cheyenne was still smiling, but Grom didn't know why.
"Wh … What …?" Grom was shocked.
"Did you not hear what I said just now? The President of the Guild of Magic that you said might not be qualified to form an alliance with the Malfa Family is a Legendary-mage in his twenties. Do you know what it means to be a Legendary-mage in his twenties? It means that he is destined to enter the Sanctuary-realm in his lifetime … That is the Sanctuary-realm, a powerful existence that even I am afraid of. Have you not thought about what it means for the future of the Malfa Family to offend such a young Legendary-mage with a bright future? "
"I … I only suggested that we wait and see. I did not really want to offend them …"
"Wait and see? Hehe, wait and see now? Grom, should I call you naive or stupid? Have you not thought about why this President Felic wrote this letter? Do you think that the power of a Legendary-mage is not enough to wipe out the Syer Bandits? Do you think that such a talented mage would only have ambitions for the Syer Bandits or a small Doland? "
"Big Brother, you … What do you mean?"
"Just wait and see, this is just the beginning. The destruction of the Syer Bandits is just a welcome gift from President Felic to all the forces in the Breezy Plains … Trust me, Grom, the Tower of Dusk that you speak of with only a few dozen people is destined to become one of the strongest forces in the Breezy Plains. Forces like the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade are nothing to them … Why don't you use your brain and think about what the Tower of Dusk will set its sights on when it dominates Doland? Obviously, it will be Roland City, which is right next to Doland. After that, it will be Aminya. If we reject the Tower of Dusk's offer of assistance today, then there will be no possibility of an alliance between us. Perhaps they will join forces with the Dark Blade and take over the entire Malfa Family easily. Or perhaps they will not even let the Dark Blade off, and take over the entire Aminya … "
"The point of this letter is not about any assistance, but to let the Malfa Family see clearly where we should stand!"
Finally, Cheyenne ended the meeting with a sentence that would boost the morale of others and belittle his own.
…
At this time, Lin Li had already arrived at the Dragon Mountains. With his strong mental strength, he quickly found the campsite of the mages of the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li's descent from the sky immediately attracted the attention of the mages who were on guard. Gerian and the other mages came out of their tents, and looked at the sky warily.
"It's … Felic? Haha, why are you only here now? "Gerian's eyesight was not bad, and he quickly recognized Lin Li who was in the sky.
Lin Li landed, and greeted Gerian before entering the campsite with the other mages.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Lin Li asked as soon as he entered the tent.
"Those bastards from the Syer Bandits attacked Black Clouds Town when we left the Tower of Dusk. I heard that they dug something out of the church, and many of the villagers in Black Clouds Town were killed. And Old Salatt … "The fat on Gerian's chubby face was trembling with anger, and he looked like he could not wait to turn the bandits into ashes.
Actually, Gerian did not know much, and it was the same as what Lin Li had heard from Beckley. Lin Li waited for Gerian to catch his breath before asking, "Seems like the Syer Bandits are only left with a few small fries. Vanskore brought 300 men with him and claimed to be elites, but they were all annihilated by me in the Blackstone Mountains. What took you so long?"
"Exactly, when we first entered the Dragon Mountains, we beat them up so badly that they scurried away like rats, and could not retaliate at all. We were about to attack their lair, but who would have thought that they would suddenly become fiercer and fiercer, as if they had eaten something indigestible. Our hundreds of mages attacked for a few days, but we did not advance a single step. What was even more ridiculous was that there were actually 10 level-18 Archmages among them. Damn it, if not for my quick reflexes, I would have lost to them, "Gerian said indignantly.
"What, 10 level-18 Archmages?" Lin Li could not help but be shocked, and thought to himself that it must have been tough for Gerian and his men to deal with them for so long. 10 level-18 Archmages were a force that was not inferior to any Guild of Magic.
"Hmm, I've never seen them before. I reckon there are other forces involved," Gerian said angrily.
"Other forces …" Lin Li could not understand. The Syer Bandits were already at their wits' end with Vanskore dead and the 300 elites dead. Although the Tower of Dusk had not been established for long, everyone could see the potential of the Tower of Dusk's development. It was like a rising star in the Breezy Plains. Which force was so stupid as to risk becoming enemies with the Tower of Dusk to help the notorious Syer Bandits?
"I suspect it might be because of a cave," Gerian voiced out his speculation.
"Cave?" Lin Li was confused.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this first …" After Gerian sat down, he kept pouring out his grievances to Lin Li. "At the beginning, it was quite smooth. It's all thanks to your previous efforts that we managed to find out the lair of this bunch of scumbags. Damn it, no wonder the castellan of Roland City could not destroy these scumbags even after sending out his troops. Look at the unlucky place they chose. "
Lin Li looked at the direction Gerian was pointing, and saw a newly drawn map on the table in the middle of the tent. The map was rough, and the area depicted was not big. It mainly showed the lair of the Syer Bandits and the surrounding areas.
"Look, here …" Gerian stood up and beckoned Lin Li over. He pointed at the map with his finger that was as thick as a mallet, and said, "There's a canyon here. We speculate that it should be where their kennel is. Outside the canyon, here, and here, they have set up a total of three lines of defense. It's almost like a damn military fortress. Especially this line of defense, there are six ballistae and two catapults. "
