Unlike the several newly promoted senior executives, the two veterans of the Tower of Dusk, Gavin and Alan, would naturally not cower at such a juncture because of the strength of the enemy. However, they were also worried that if the news were to spread, the mages of the Tower of Dusk would be in a state of panic.
Seeing that Gavin and Alan were about to speak, Lin Li waved his hand and stopped them from persuading him. He said, "Okay, let's stop talking about this matter. As for the problems that we've encountered recently, they won't last for too long. Go back and think of a temporary solution."
In fact, although the opponents had caused some trouble for the Tower of Dusk recently, it was far from enough to destroy the Tower of Dusk. The Tower of Dusk did not rely solely on the Breezy Plains in all aspects. The herbs were supplied by the Elven Kingdom of the Emerald Forest, and the ores were supplied by the Ledin Kingdom. Those were not things that the so-called traditional forces of the Breezy Plains could control.
Actually, the Tower of Dusk could afford to waste time, but the forces that wanted to destroy the Tower of Dusk might not be able to. At the end of the day, the traditional forces would still have to rely on their fists if they really wanted to deal with the Tower of Dusk. Hence, the current situation was just an appetizer, and it definitely wouldn't last for long.
"Hey, do you know why we haven't been doing well recently? I heard that we seem to have gotten into big trouble this time." Several mages gathered together in their spare time to talk about the recent events of the Tower of Dusk.
"Of course I know. I've also specially read some books about the history of the Breezy Plains recently. To be honest, if it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a terrifying force hidden in the Breezy Plains, "a middle-aged mage said with a sigh while shaking his head.
The trouble that the Tower of Dusk had encountered this time was almost no secret to the mages. With Lin Li's tacit approval, the news of the three top forces that the higher-ups had speculated about quickly spread among the mages below. Although they had only gotten the names of the three forces in the beginning, if they really wanted to search for information, they would be able to find some information about the three powerful forces that were manipulating the Breezy Plains behind the scenes. At the very least, the mages of the Tower of Dusk soon found out that their opponent this time was stronger than the Dark Blade. In fact, it might even be a colossus that was on the same level as the Glittergold Trade Union.
However, although some of the mages were indeed worried about the future of the Tower of Dusk in the beginning, the thing that really worried them did not happen. As the mages discussed among themselves, the impact of this matter on the Tower of Dusk had unknowingly shifted in the opposite direction.
"So what? What mastermind of the Breezy Plains? That's just because the Tower of Dusk wasn't here in the past. If they were really that powerful, why didn't they do anything when the Retribution Knight wreaked havoc in the Breezy Plains? On the other hand, the President of the Tower of Dusk personally took action this time, and completely eliminated the Retribution Knight known as the Demon God. " It was a young mage who had also participated in the battle in the underground palace, and was a member of the mages of the Tower of Dusk.
"But maybe they were conserving their strength back then. After all, to them, their own interests are the only things that are worth caring about. They might even be happy to see the Retribution Knight wreak havoc in the Breezy Plains and clear a place for them," the middle-aged mage immediately retorted.
"If the Breezy Plains really becomes a wasteland, what benefits would they have to speak of!? Besides, even if they were conserving their strength back then, I don't believe that they're really stronger than the Tower of Dusk. Especially our President. You didn't participate in this operation, so you can't imagine how powerful he is, "the young mage said while raising his chin smugly. There was some disdain in his eyes for the so-called mastermind of the Breezy Plains, and he seemed to be full of confidence in the future of the Tower of Dusk.
The middle-aged mage did not get angry because of Lin Li's attitude. Instead, he became extremely curious about what Lin Li had to say. He frantically asked, "Are you that confident? I know that Mr. President only used one magic spell to subdue the two Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade, but you mean that wasn't Mr. President's full strength? "
"Hey, that's nothing. Can the two Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade compare to the Retribution Knight? Putting aside the fact that Mr. President single-handedly dealt with the Retribution Knight, the strength of Mr. President's subordinates is definitely beyond your imagination. If you want to know why I'm so confident, let me do some calculations for you. " Due to the fact that Lin Li did not order the mages who went with him to keep quiet after the operation, the young mage did not have any scruples, and simply told his companions about what he had seen.
"You should all know about the two Undead servants of Mr. President, the Lich Ujfalusi and the Vampire Norfeller. Both of them are in the Legendary-level, and are definitely experienced Legendary powerhouses. Mr. President also has a magical item that can summon a Legendary-level Demon Lord and a real adult Crimson Dragon. Those are two Legendary-level combat powers. There's also Lord Connoris, who single-handedly withstood the siege of 20 Death Knights. He's probably the strongest after Mr. President. "
"Also, you definitely won't be able to imagine that Mr. President also has a team of 40 Paladins. I think the strength of that team of Paladins is enough to deal with three or four Legendary powerhouses like the leaders of the Dark Blade. In addition, there's also an unknown magical beast. Although it's petite, it can infinitely cast Legendary magic spells instantaneously. The magic storm formed by Legendary magic spells is not something that ordinary Legendary-mages can cast. "
"Do some calculations. Just the power of Mr. President's subordinates alone is comparable to many Legendary powerhouses. Even at the very least, I think he's comparable to fifteen or sixteen real Legendary powerhouses. Think about it carefully. Apart from the Supreme Council, the Brilliance Shrine, and the Darkness Shrine, which other force can produce such power? If the so-called masterminds of the Breezy Plains could really produce such power, I'm afraid they wouldn't have to hide behind the scenes anymore. "
The few mages who did not participate in the battle in the underground palace were already dumbfounded. Their companion's words were indeed beyond their imagination. They knew that Lin Li was very powerful, and that the two Undead servants were also Legendary powerhouses. However, they definitely did not expect Lin Li to have an even more powerful force. Being able to match the strength of 15 to 16 Legendary powerhouses sounded incredible, but they couldn't help but believe that it was true when it came from the mouth of their companion.
Legendary powerhouses were already god-like existences in the eyes of ordinary people, and a Legendary powerhouse was enough to support a powerful force. A top force like the Malfa Family only had Master Cheyenne, who was a Legendary-mage. However, they owned Aminya City, and at least on the surface, were the top family in the Breezy Plains. On the other hand, the Dark Blade had three Legendary powerhouses, and was the leader of the top 10 bandit groups in the Breezy Plains. In the past, they were vaguely known as the strongest force in the Breezy Plains.
Although the Tower of Dusk had just been established, and Alan was the only mage who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm, they had yet to nurture a talent who could hold his own. However, the power of Lin Li's subordinates alone was comparable to that of 15 or 16 Legendary powerhouses. With such a powerful force, what else did the Tower of Dusk have to fear?
"This … is impossible." The few mages gasped at the same time. With their level of vision, it was indeed impossible for them to imagine what kind of force could possess such a powerful force.
"What's impossible about it!? Besides, the Tower of Dusk has a close partnership with the Brilliance Shrine and Darkness Shrine, and we have a good relationship with the elves. There's also the royal family of the Felan Kingdom and the Ledin Kingdom. Even if the opponent can control the various forces of the Breezy Plains, can he still affect them? Don't forget that the last time Lin Li went to the Brilliance Shrine, he was personally invited by Archbishop Martin of the Brilliance Shrine. That shows how much the Brilliance Shrine values Lin Li. Tell me, if the Tower of Dusk encounters any trouble, will these forces that are cooperating with us just stand by and watch? "
Initially, after learning about the strength of their opponents, there were indeed some pessimistic and negative emotions among the mages of the Tower of Dusk. Some were worried, and some wanted to quit out of fear. However, the mages who participated in the battle of the underground palace revealed the strength that Lin Li had displayed that day, and the various advantages that the Tower of Dusk currently had. The atmosphere in the Tower of Dusk immediately changed drastically.
Of course, there were also some mages who thought that they were rational, but they did not fully believe what the mages said, and were still worried about the future of the Tower of Dusk. However, there were very few mages who chose to quit out of fear. Most of them still wanted to wait and see. After all, if they really chose to quit at this time, it would affect their reputation greatly. In the future, which force would want to hire people who would flee when they encountered difficulties?
Seeing such a situation, the senior executives of the Tower of Dusk finally felt a little relieved, and finally focused all their attention on the confrontation with the other forces in terms of business. The truth was just like what Lin Li had said. It was basically impossible to defeat the Tower of Dusk financially now.
