"Turns out it's Sir Thorne. I didn't know why you came here …" Lin Yun narrowed his eyes. He also noticed that Merlin Thorne was acting a bit strange.
"Haha, it's nothing, I just came to take a look …" Thorne Merlin chuckled and looked around. Facing the young mage with this kind of attitude made him feel very uncomfortable. After a few minutes, he turned to look at Lin Yun and said in a flat tone, "High Mage Merlin, I remember that you only had five hundred Great Mages here. How come there are suddenly fifty more High Mages? What's going on?"
Although Thorne Merlin looked very calm as he said this, his heart couldn't stay calm. He attentively watched the young mage's expression, as if trying to figure out something. But to his disappointment, the young mage remained calm and didn't panic like he had expected.
'Could it be that those fifty High Mages aren't the support of the Black Tower?'
'How could this be …'
'Otherwise, how could the origin of those High Mages be explained?'
He didn't believe that the young mage could do magic.
'No matter what, I have to figure out the origin of those High Mages!'
"Haha, nothing strange. A group of Great Mages recently advanced, so there are fifty more High Mages …" Lin Yun scratched his cheek and said with a smile. At the same time, he gave Thorne Merlin a profound look. Those fifty High Mages appeared in the camp less than two hours ago, and Thorne Merlin appeared at this time. He could easily guess that Thorne Merlin's goal was to investigate the origin of those High Mages.
He wasn't lying, those fifty High Mages had recently advanced.
"High Mage Merlin, don't joke around. Even if they advanced, it's hard to understand why so many people advanced in two months …" Thorne Merlin put on a fake smile, cursing inwardly. 'Even if you want to brush me off, you should at least find a decent reason. Only a fool would believe such a reason.'
"I'm not joking …" Lin Yun scratched his cheek and chuckled. He didn't say anything else, he didn't want to explain too much. This was related to the Natural Demiplane, as well as some outrageous things. Even if he told Thorne Merlin, the other side might not believe him.
"Alright …"
An angry expression appeared on Thorne Merlin's face as he looked at Lin Yun and sneered. "I see that you don't dare to say it. Could it be that there is some secret here … Is it related to the Black Tower?"
After some probing, Thorne was certain that the identities of those fifty High Mages of unknown origin couldn't be exposed, or else the young mage wouldn't have concealed them like this.
It was most likely related to the Black Tower.
Whether it was for official or private reasons, he had to find some clues and hand them over to the Ancestral Land.
After all, if the young Merlin really colluded with the Black Tower, it wouldn't be a trivial matter. It would inevitably endanger the interests of the Merlin Family.
"Haha …" Lin Yun rolled his eyes.
"Mafa Merlin, what do you mean by this? Do you dare to answer my question? Tell me the origins of those High Mages and use facts to prove whether or not you colluded with the Black Tower and betrayed the Merlin Family!" Thorne Merlin's sharp eyes were fixated on Lin Yun.
Lin Yun didn't even bother to roll his eyes this time.
The most hurtful thing wasn't being insulted or contradicted, but being ignored. The veins on Thorne Merlin 'forehead bulged as he was extremely angry. Just as he was about to flare up, a silhouette suddenly rushed in.
"High Mage Merlin, the Beastman army stationed near the Ghost Valley has launched an attack on the camp …" Yuri Merlin anxiously looked at Lin Yun. After saying that, he noticed Thorne Merlin on the side and an embarrassed expression flashed on his face.
"Alright, I know …" Lin Yun smiled and casually waved his hand. In fact, the Magic Array had already detected the Beastman army as they approached the camp.
He then led everyone out of the living quarters and prepared to command the army to meet the Beastman army.
Following the order, all the mages in the camp rushed out of their living quarters and gathered together as quickly as possible.
At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, the young Raging Flame Beastman, Yass, whose body was flickering with dark red runes, gave the order to attack. Immediately, all the strong Raging Flame Beastmen brandished their long blades and rode Ashen Wolves as they rushed out of the surrounding forest to attack the camp.
Close to a thousand Raging Flame Beastman Cavalrymen simultaneously rushed out of the forest with boundless momentum, submerging the entire camp.
The young Raging Flame Beastman Yass commanded the troops to charge. In his eyes, this battle was already destined to be victorious and annihilate these humans.
The Thawing Fire Tribe had always had a troop stationed near the Ghost Valley, in a deadlock with the Merlin Family's troops. In the past few years, the Merlin Family and the Thawing Fire Tribe had fought several fierce battles over the Ghost Valley, but no one had been able to seize control of the Ghost Valley in the end, leading to the deadlock.
As for the troop stationed in the Ghost Valley, it was led by his teacher, Lazart. In fact, over a month ago, as the humans frequently moved around the Ghost Valley, they discovered that something was wrong. After sending some people to investigate, they discovered that there was actually a troop of human mages stationed in the depths of the forest.
But during one of their operations, Yass inadvertently discovered that there were a few familiar faces among that troop of human mages. They were the ones he had met that night in the Ghost Valley. At the time, his teacher had said that he wasn't their match, which undoubtedly made Yass very unhappy.
This was simply impossible. Those human mages were only High Mages, he could easily kill them.
He had repeatedly suggested to his teacher to eliminate that troop of human mages, but his teacher hadn't agreed. Helplessly, Yass could only endure.
Up until a day ago, his teacher, Lazart, was recalled by the Tribal Chief, and the control of that troop naturally fell into his hands. After his teacher left, he made arrangements to eliminate that troop of human mages. He had already investigated the situation of that troop. There were about five hundred of them, and they were very weak. Almost all of them were Great Mages.
He was confident that he could eliminate such a terrible troop. After yesterday's deployment, he mobilized close to a thousand High Mages to surround the camp from four directions.
Moreover, he planned to capture those few High Mages and bring them back to the tribe. He wondered what expression his teacher would make when he recognized them.
Yass was looking forward to it.
"Rumble …"
Blazing air currents and dazzling spells collided, creating sparks on the battlefield. In an instant, close to a thousand Beastman Cavalrymen fought with the human mage army. But at this time, Yass, who was commanding the battle, suddenly felt that something was wrong. The strength of this troop of human mages didn't seem to be what he had expected.
Several dozen tyrannical auras rose up from the center of the camp, and one gorgeous spell after another swept towards the Beastman Cavalrymen. A large number of Beastman Cavalrymen didn't even have time to scream before turning to ashes.
Yass was thoroughly stunned. He simply didn't dare to believe it. Didn't the intelligence report say that this human mage army only had five hundred Great Mages and a pitiful few High Mages? He had clearly sensed that the masters of those several dozen tyrannical auras were all High Mages, and they were all very powerful existences in the High Mage realm.
"Damn …"
Yass cursed. He really wanted to die. He originally thought that this human mage army only had five hundred Great Mages and that they would definitely be wiped out under the attack of his cavalry, but a few dozen High Mages appeared out of nowhere.
That wasn't just eight or ten, but several dozen!
'How could there be so many powerhouses …'
But Yass didn't have time to think too much, because the battle was already very intense. As those High Mages made their moves, terrifying spells were like a flood washing over the Beastman Cavalrymen. A large number of Beastman Cavalrymen were dying at every moment. In his anxiety, Yass roared twice and gave the order to retreat. Then, he jumped down from the Ashen Demonic Wolf's back. His two-meter tall body shone with dark red runes, increasing his speed to the maximum.
Yass didn't even have the time to turn around as he ran. Ten minutes later, when there was no more movement, he finally stopped. Panting heavily, he turned around to look behind him, and his heart sank. This time, he was in big trouble. That was nearly a thousand cavalrymen, and they had participated in this battle for less than half an hour. Apart from him, no one had escaped.
Yass was deathly pale from fright, beads of cold sweat dripping down his back. Thinking that he was the one who caused such a huge loss, he almost couldn't stand straight.
Two hours later, the muddle-headed Yass returned to the Thawing Fire Tribe and found his teacher, Lazart.
"Yass, why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen in the Ghost Valley?" Lazart looked at Yass with a puzzled expression and asked in bewilderment. He had been summoned back by the Tribal Chief a day ago to discuss some matters in the Thawing Fire Tribe. Before leaving, he had given Yass control of the Cavalrymen and repeatedly warned him to be careful.
"Teacher, I, I …" Yass was pale and stuttered, unable to say anything. In fact, he was completely scared. He had always had a smooth sailing life since he was a child, how could he have experienced this kind of thing?
"What's going on? Tell me now …"
Seeing Yass' expression, Lazart's expression suddenly became gloomy. He realized that something big had happened, or else Yass wouldn't be like that. "The army was attacked by humans and suffered a huge loss? If that's the case, I won't blame you. After all, you are still young and unfamiliar with commanding battles … "
"That …"
Beads of sweat could be seen on Yass' forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them off. He nervously looked at Lazart and explained everything without holding anything back.
