But Lin Yun clearly understood that these High Mages had only displayed a very small portion of their fighting potential. After all, these people had advanced to the High Mage realm not long ago, and their usage of the Blazing Storm Magic Conducting Rune wasn't perfect enough. Their coordination was far from tacit.
Naturally, this wasn't a problem, they only needed a lot of actual combat experience and time.
And during this time, those fifty High Mages didn't disappoint Lin Yun, they displayed extraordinary strength.
The Ghost Valley was an extremely special environment, the mana density was close to a mist-like level, thus creating countless powerful magic beasts. High-tier magic beasts over level 20 were very common, and the most frightening one was on the second day of the Ghost Valley. Over twenty magic beasts rushed out of the jungle, all of them above level 20. But even so, those magic beasts didn't even get within thirty meters of the team before being killed by the fifty High Mages.
As they fought, those High Mages became more and more proficient in using the Blazing Storm Magic Conducting Rune. They would have a clear improvement in every large-scale battle. After all, they had been meditating in the Natural Demiplane and absorbed the mana of the Demiplane. Everyone's body had condensed the aura of an Ancient God, and their talent had already undergone earth-shattering changes. Their comprehension was a lot higher than that of ordinary people, and they weren't inferior to those so-called young geniuses.
As they approached the depths of the Ghost Valley, a terrifying battle occurred. A level 35 magic beast appeared, and the battle lasted for over twenty minutes. Under the siege of the fifty High Mages, that tyrannical magic beast unwillingly fell. Although it took a long time, those High Mages were calm and unruffled, and no one was injured from start to finish.
The performance of these fifty High Mages undoubtedly amazed everyone, including Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin. Perhaps only Lin Yun knew that level 35 wasn't the limit of that group of High Mages.
As night fell, the mage army stopped advancing and found an open space to set up camp. At this time, Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin had worried expressions as they arrived at Lin Yun's living quarters.
"High Mage Merlin, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest …"
"Haha, it's fine, Sirs came so late at night, is there something you need from me?" Lin Yun smiled as he looked at Ida Merlin and Yuri, not paying much attention.
"Yes …"
Ida took a deep breath, looking somewhat hesitant. After a few minutes, he made up his mind and said, "High Mage Merlin, the Thawing Fire Tribe must have already been aware of such a big event. Reinforcements might even be on the way and will soon arrive at the Ghost Valley. We took such a huge advantage this time, eliminating most of the Beastmen and controlling most of the Ghost Valley. Shouldn't we stop advancing and enter a defensive state to resist the Thawing Fire Tribe's reinforcements?"
In his eyes, this was indeed necessary. If he was the commander, he would definitely do so.
The current mage army only had three powerhouses above the Archmage realm, him, Yuri Merlin, and the young mage. There were only about sixty High Mages, and the rest were Great Mages. Although this force was very powerful, it couldn't withstand a single blow from the Thawing Fire Tribe.
Ida Merlin, who had participated in several battles over the Raging Flame Plane, naturally knew that the true strength of the Thawing Fire Tribe was very frightening. In addition to the six Great Prophets and the mysterious Tribal Chief, the tribe also had a large number of powerhouses and elites. Even if the Thawing Fire Tribe suffered disastrous losses in the Ghost Valley, the Thawing Fire Tribe couldn't just watch as the Ghost Valley fell into their hands.
There was no doubt that they would send reinforcements, it was only a matter of time.
At this time, the mage army had eliminated most of the Beastman army and occupied most of the Ghost Valley. In fact, this was already a huge advantage. It could even be said to be the greatest harvest of the Merlin Family in the decades they had been in the Raging Flame Plane. If they started defending now and obtained the support of Thorne Merlin's Planar Legion, they would be able to thoroughly control most of the Ghost Valley.
But if they were greedy and kept going deeper, they might encounter the reinforcements of the Thawing Fire Tribe. At that time, the entire mage army would fall into a predicament, and they might even face the danger of being destroyed.
Because of this, Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin spent the whole day worrying. They only ran over to persuade the young mage when they set up camp at night.
If the mage army continued like this, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.
"High Mage Merlin, you should know that our Merlin Family and the Thawing Fire Tribe have been in a deadlock over the Ghost Valley for close to a hundred years. The Thawing Fire Tribe has never given up. Although their forces stationed here suffered disastrous losses and can't stop us, the Thawing Fire Tribe's reinforcements will arrive sooner or later. I think it's better to be cautious …" Yuri Merlin earnestly tried to persuade him.
"Haha, we don't need to defend for the time being. Keep going deeper, the further the better …" Lin Yun had an indifferent expression as he casually waved his hand.
"This … How could this be!"
Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin choked on the young mage's words, their complexions turning deathly pale. They looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. 'What should we do?'
In the end, they could only try to persuade him, the final decision was in the hands of the young mage.
But if the young mage insisted on going his own way, something big was bound to happen.
All their previous gains would be for naught. The gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
Just as Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin wanted to continue persuading him, they suddenly discovered the young mage frowning. The two were so scared that they swallowed the words they had prepared, not daring to say anything.
After being in contact with the young mage for a few months, they clearly understood that even if the young mage looked easy to get along with and always had a faint smile on his face, it would be a terrible disaster for them if they made him unhappy.
"Sirs, did you hear that sound?"
Seeing the expressions of Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin, he couldn't help scratching his nose and bitterly smiling. He naturally knew that these two were thinking too much.
"Sound? That, that … What is that? "
Hearing Lin Yun's reminder, Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin didn't dare to be careless. After carefully listening, they discovered some sounds coming from a few hundred meters away from the camp, followed by a large amount of mana fluctuations. They were suddenly scared out of their wits and looked at Lin Yun in panic.
"The Thawing Fire Tribe's reinforcements …" Lin Yun still had a faint smile on his face. In fact, after discovering the movements, he roused his Magic Array to its pinnacle, and everything within several kilometers was within his observation range. He then discovered that there was an army approaching a few hundred meters away from the camp.
The strength of this army could only be described as frightening.
Several thousand Raging Flame Beastmen were riding on Ashen Wolves, eyeing the camp like tigers watching their prey, as if they would rush over at any time. Their momentum was quite great. And there were close to a hundred huge Wyverns floating in the air. The Wyverns of the Raging Flame Plane were a bit different from Noscent's Wyverns. The Wyverns that appeared were fiery red and were engulfed in a blazing aura.
Lin Yun had learned about this kind of Wyvern beforehand. The Draconic Bloodline they contained was a lot purer than the Wyverns of Noscent. They could spurt out fierce poisonous flames that could be treated as a weakened Dragon Breath. The weakest of these magic beasts was close to level 20.
In the Raging Flame Plane, if one didn't have the strength of an Archmage or a Sword Saint, they would definitely die if they encountered a large number of Wyverns.
But now, close to a hundred had appeared.
Tall and sturdy Raging Flame Beastmen were sitting on the backs of those Wyverns, holding spears flickering with cold light. With Lin Yun's eyesight, he could naturally see that these Raging Flame Beastmen had innate divine power. Just by relying on their physical strength, they were comparable to Expert Swordsmen. If they threw their spears from the sky, anyone below the High Mage realm would definitely be pierced.
At the forefront of the army stood forty to fifty Raging Flame Beastmen. These Beastmen didn't have powerful physiques, but their bodies were flickering with exceptionally dazzling dark-red runes, as well as blazing hot mana fluctuations. Lin Yun, who had been in contact with the Raging Flame Beastmen many times, could see that these Raging Flame Beastmen were the most powerful Beastman Mages of the Thawing Fire Tribe. They could summon all kinds of Fire Elemental lifeforms to fight, and getting entangled would mean endless trouble.
When he first arrived at the Flame Demon Fort, Lin Yun had experienced the power of these Beastman Mages. Just a dozen Beastman Mages were causing trouble in the dark, yet they were able to put the entire Merlin Family's Planar Legion under pressure. If he hadn't been able to pinpoint the exact location of the Beastman Mages, the Flame Demon Fort might have already fallen.
Lin Yun was inwardly startled. He hadn't expected the Thawing Fire Tribe to be so rich. There were close to fifty Beastman Mages, and they were all powerhouses above the High Mage realm. Among them, there were more than ten Beastman Mages standing at the peak of the High Mage realm, and there were even three Beastman Mages emitting extremely frightening mana fluctuations that weren't weaker than Archmages.
This army could be described as luxurious, and they already had the power to attack the Flame Demon Fort. If he wasn't there, the Flame Demon Fort would most likely fall.
In contrast, the gap between the camp's mage army was too obvious.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yun led Ida and Merlin out of the living quarters and then sounded the alarm. One mage after another came out of the living quarters and quickly assembled. It only took three minutes.
Just as the mage army finished assembling, a loud and arrogant voice came from the opposing Beastman army. "Where is your commander? Have him come out to see me!"
