However, Connoris was different. Joseph knew from the news that Connoris could no longer exert the power of the Sanctuary-realm after possessing the perfect body. However, that perfect body was created by Highlord Osric, after all. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a divine body. Even if Connoris could not reach the Sanctuary-realm in terms of level, the combat power that he could exert was still rather terrifying.
After seeing the situation at the Tower of Dusk's side, Joseph felt that he had a good understanding of the Tower of Dusk's strength. At the same time, he knew that it was impossible to see the Tower of Dusk make a fool of itself. Hence, he turned to Claus, and said, "Patriarch Claus, this is only the second level of the mausoleum. I think we shouldn't waste too much time here."
Although the Ghost Warriors were very strong, the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family had not given their all. At least, the two Legendary powerhouses, Joseph and Claus, had yet to make a move. They were just waiting for the Tower of Dusk to ask for help so that they could raise the price and take advantage of the Tower of Dusk. But now, it was obvious that this wish could not be fulfilled. Hence, what was the point of delaying?
After speaking to Claus, Joseph took out the King of Flames' Staff and released a huge Fire Dragon towards the Ghost Warriors. Then, he flew towards the Ghost Warriors and engaged them in battle.
Looking at Joseph's back view, Claus revealed an inexplicable smile on his face. He turned around and joined the battle with the Caesar Family. He was rather thankful that the Caesar Family did not charge forward under Joseph's persuasion during the battle with the Tower of Dusk. Although there were still some conflicts between the Caesar Family and the Tower of Dusk, at least they did not fall out with each other.
On the side of the Tower of Dusk and the Glittergold Trade Union, Lin Li and Hoffman did not attack immediately. They floated in the air and observed the situation on the battlefield. To a certain extent, the attack of the Ghost Warriors was actually a good thing for the expedition. No matter how much he reminded everyone to be vigilant, it was very difficult for them to truly enter a battle-ready state. However, a well-timed attack like this could allow them to enter a battle-ready state as soon as possible, so as to avoid accidents when they suddenly encountered an even stronger enemy.
"Felic, I didn't expect your people to be so familiar with the Magic Net Array. I think Joseph must be very disappointed now." Hoffman squinted his eyes. Although he was talking about Joseph, he was actually filled with shock too.
In the past two years since the rise of the Tower of Dusk, their business had expanded at an alarming rate, and the mages who joined the Tower of Dusk seemed to have suddenly become geniuses that were hard to come by in a hundred years. Their abilities had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, even magic arrays, which needed time to be honed the most, had achieved so much in such a short time. Hoffman could not help but sigh in his heart. What else could this young Mage Felic not do!?
Lin Li could naturally guess the thoughts of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family, but he could not be bothered. Hence, when he heard Hoffman's words, he only smiled, and said, "Master Hoffman, the battle array used by your subordinates allows magic and martial arts to be perfectly combined through the tacit cooperation between mages and Warriors. Not only does it have magical attacks and physical attacks, it also has the effect of complementing each other. It looks very unusual."
Lin Li was not being polite. The battle array used by the Glittergold Trade Union was indeed commendable. Although it was not like a magic array that could connect the mana of the mages, the smooth cooperation between the mages and Warriors, coupled with their exquisite positioning, allowed the entire battle array to become one, complementing each other's weaknesses. It was truly the epitome of cooperation.
The dozen or so Ghost Warriors were surrounded in the middle by the Glittergold Trade Union's battle formation. Then, as the formation changed continuously, they were separated again and again. Soon, every Ghost Warrior had to face the attacks of the entire team. If the Ghost Warriors could use their Magical Domains, they might be able to suppress the Glittergold Trade Union's team. However, it would be difficult to turn the situation around with only the attacks of magic and martial arts.
"Hehe, this battle array was found by Master Thomas in a High Elves' relic. The owner of the relic was said to be an expert in war games during the Dark Age. This battle array was actually designed by him for war games. It's called the Magic and Martial Double Kill Battle Array. " At this point, Hoffman could not help but smile bitterly. The Tower of Dusk was using a magic array created by the God of Mages, Geresco, while his team was using something designed for war games by the High Elves. One could imagine the difference between them.
Lin Li smiled, and did not say anything else. He turned his attention to the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family. Lin Li had read about the war games that Hoffman was talking about in many historical documents. It could be said to be a crime to prove the cruel rule of the High Elves.
The High Elves had an extremely long lifespan. After the High Elves completely dominated the entire Anril during the middle and later stages of the Dark Age, there were no longer any wars to pass the time of boredom. Hence, there were all kinds of games. The so-called war games were a popular game among the High Elves. Both sides would form a team and let them fight on the battlefield to determine the winner. It could be considered a variant of gladiatorial combat.
Of course, the people who formed such teams were races that were ruled by the High Elves, such as humans, orcs, and dwarves. The High Elves would definitely not join in as it was equivalent to cheating. Although humans could also learn magic during that period, the environment for learning magic was still very harsh. There were very few human mages, and naturally, they could not form a pure team of mages. Hence, most of them had to cooperate with other professions.
The High Elves were a rather stubborn race. They were very stubborn about winning in any situation, even if it was a game between their own race. Hence, they would also spend a lot of energy on research on a game. Anyway, they had a long lifespan, and did not know what a waste of time was.
Seeing that Lin Li was looking at the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family, Hoffman touched his almost invisible chin, and said, "The battle formation they are using is also passed down from the war games of the High Elves. It is said that during the Dark Age, the 13 families of the Mithril Alliance specialized in providing war games for the High Elves as entertainment. It was just like running a gladiatorial arena. "
In fact, Lin Li could indeed see some traces of gladiatorial combat from the formation of the Mithril Alliance. The Caesar Family was originally a member of the Mithril Alliance. Although they had left the Mithril Alliance, there were still many similarities between the battle formations used by the two forces.
In the battle formations of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family, there was a strict division of everyone's functions. For example, there were Warriors who were in charge of blocking, Warriors with Giant Shields who were in charge of attacking, Warriors with Axes who were in charge of attacking, Warriors with Spears and Warriors with Shields and Swords who were in charge of support. As for the mages, not all magic spells were released casually. There were mages who were the main attackers, and there were supporting mages who were in charge of enhancing the Warriors with magic. As for the assassins, there were those who lurked at the side, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at any time. There were also those who held crossbows and stood behind the Warriors to assist in the attack.
Every profession had its own functions, and everyone was doing their own things meticulously. However, when combined as a whole, they were really like a precise machine that operated with high efficiency without any delay. Although such a battle formation might be less flexible and flexible, it was still stable. Although there were no obvious advantages, it was not easy for others to take advantage of its weaknesses.
However, the battle formations of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family were slightly inferior to the Magic and Warrior Double-kill Formation of the Glittergold Trade Union, not to mention the Net Array of the Tower of Dusk. Lin Li could see some problems with just a few glances. What really deserved his attention was the strength of the few Legendary powerhouses in the upper echelons of the two forces.
The Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family had more than 20 Legendary powerhouses in total. However, Lin Li could tell that a few of them had just entered the Legendary-realm not long ago, and were probably around level-20 or level-21. With the current strength of Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk, those low-level Legendary powerhouses were no longer a threat to them.
Of course, the fact that the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family could become the top forces of the Breezy Plains for thousands of years meant that they were not to be underestimated. The first person that caught Lin Li's attention was Elvis, who had suggested the collaboration first. Although he was old and blind, he was definitely not weak.
At this moment, Elvis no longer looked old and frail. His white beard and hair were fluttering in the wind, and the ebony Dragon's Eye Staff in his hand was emitting a dazzling light. The Magical Domain that he had created was the Magical Domain of Snow and Storm. Streaks of silver-white hurricanes moved continuously in the domain, trapping the six Ghost Warriors in it and using the snow and storm to whittle away their strength.
In terms of combat power, the six Ghost Warriors were not weaker than the six Legendary powerhouses. However, in the midst of the snow and storm, they were like lost lambs, and could only keep circling on the spot. Their powerful attacks, be it martial arts or magic, would be nullified by the power of the storm as soon as they were released. Their strong magical defense seemed to be unable to withstand the slowing effect of the snow and ice, and their movements gradually became less agile.
If one did not consider the issue of trump cards, Elvis could be considered the strongest among the Legendary powerhouses of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family. Of course, Joseph and Claus were not fools, and it was impossible for them not to keep a few trump cards for such an important matter.
It was said that Elvis had put aside everything a few years ago, and was ready to break through to the Sanctuary-realm with all his might. Now that Lin Li saw it, Elvis did indeed have the ability to break through to the Sanctuary-realm. However, it was a different matter as to how far he was from the Sanctuary-realm.
Many mages who had just entered the Legendary-realm would first choose to build their own Magical Domain with the laws of ice. One reason was that the power of ice magic was not weak, and most people liked to use ice magic before entering the Legendary-realm. Hence, it was easier for them to understand the laws of ice. Another reason was that the laws of ice were derived from the laws of water. Apart from the fact that they conflicted with the laws of fire, they had a strong tolerance for other laws.
Of course, it was not impossible to use the laws of ice and fire to create a Magical Domain. After all, Lin Li could also create a Magical Domain of light and darkness, which was even more opposing. However, it was not something that ordinary people could handle. After creating a Magical Domain with the laws of ice, most Legendary-mages could continue to strengthen and perfect their own Magical Domain by understanding other laws other than the laws of fire.
This was considered a more traditional path for the masses. Although it did not have many advantages, it would not lead people astray. When Lin Li first entered the Legendary-realm, he also used the laws of ice as a foundation to build his Magical Domain. However, he had Holy Light and Gloomy Dark at that time. With the help of these two pieces of the debris of the stars, he created the Magical Domain of Ice, Light, and Darkness.
Obviously, Elvis should have taken this path as well. He first used the laws of ice as a foundation to build his Magical Domain, and then added his own understanding of the laws of storm to form the Magical Domain of Ice and Storm.
However, in Lin Li's opinion, Elvis's steps were a little too cautious. Although Lin Li himself used the laws of ice as a stepping stone to enter the Legendary-realm, he had long given up on the laws of ice. Even without the help of Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, he had the ability to create a Magical Domain of Light and Darkness.
After all, the laws of ice were only derived laws. Unless he could further understand the laws of water, it would be wishful thinking to enter the Sanctuary-realm with the derived laws of ice. As for Elvis, not only did he not give up on the laws of ice, but he also changed his understanding of the laws of wind into the derived laws of storm. Although he did not deviate from the direction of the Sanctuary-realm, the progress was too small. He might not be able to enter the Sanctuary-realm even if he had another 1,000 years.
Apart from Elvis, the other people in the Mithril Alliance who were worthy of Lin Li's attention were the patriarchs of the four major clans, including Joseph, and an elder of the Dida Family. However, Lin Li could clearly see that they had held back during the battle with the Ghost Warriors, and did not fully display their abilities. Even so, the abilities that they had displayed were rather powerful in the eyes of ordinary people. It was obvious that the Ghost Warriors were at a disadvantage.
