That Beastman was the young genius of the Thawing Fire Tribe, Yass. In the battle a few days ago, the army he led was destroyed and he was captured alive. He had been imprisoned by Lin Yun.
The current Yass was no longer as elegant as before. His body was riddled with scars and his aura was weak. Any High Mage could easily deal with him.
"Rumble!"
Just as Yass was cursing, a Flame Burst exploded in front of him. In a flash, the entire world seemed to calm down. Yass was sent flying and heavily fell to the ground, becoming even weaker. But Raging Flame Beastmen had an extremely high resistance to fire magic. After being hit by Lin Yun's Flame Burst, Yass was barely able to maintain his condition.
"I hope you can honestly answer my questions …" Lin Yun expressionlessly said as he looked at Yass, who was lying on the ground with a large burn mark on his chest.
How could Yass dare to say no after suffering so much? He looked at Lin Yun with fear. He couldn't understand how this seemingly harmless human could be so ruthless. In the end, he powerlessly nodded.
"How much do you know about the Ghost Valley? It would be best if you could tell me everything you know … "
"Ah … The Ghost Valley is very rich in mana. If we Raging Flame Beastmen cultivate here, we'll grow very quickly." After saying that, Yass cautiously glanced at Lin Yun, only to discover that the other side was frowning and looking at him with a cold gaze. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he promptly said, "I, I also know a legend!"
"Speak …"
"A long time ago, there was a rumor circulating in our Thawing Fire Tribe. It was said that there was a terrifying Demon hidden in the Ghost Valley, and when that Demon came out, it would be a disaster! "And our Thawing Fire Tribe seems to have something that can release the Demon from the valley. That thing is in the Holy Mountain, but I really don't know what it is …" Yass cowered as he said this.
"There's something that can release demons, the Sacred Mountain …"
Lin Yun waved his hand and had someone carry Yass away. Then he quietly pondered to the side. Perhaps the legend that Yass spoke of was an important clue. He could try to go to the Holy Mountain and find that thing. He could see if it had any connection to the Raising Dragon Array. After all, the Chromatic Dragon Crystal was very important. He couldn't let go of any clues.
After removing those soundproof force fields and arrays, Lin Yun led the fifty High Mages back to camp.
Nothing major happened in the next five days. Lin Yun and Whis would occasionally discuss some details of their cooperation, and this huge allied army was resting and reorganizing.
Soon, the majestic allied army advanced towards the Thawing Fire Tribe's headquarters, the Sacred Mountain. To be honest, this allied army was very powerful. There were over ten Archmages, and there were also peak powerhouses like Lin Yun, Weiss, Suval, Thorne, and Merlin. There was no need to mention High Mages. The Merlin Family's Planar Legion had several hundred High Mages, and the Black Tower had brought this time were all High Mages.
Such a terrifying allied army simply wasn't something the Beastmen could resist. In ten days, the allied army obtained a huge harvest and captured four forts in a row.
These four forts were originally controlled by the Thawing Fire Tribe and had always been garrisoned by powerful forces, making them very difficult to capture. Whether it was the Black Tower or the Merlin Family, both of them had set their sights on these forts many times, but they had never succeeded. But in this joint operation, they triumphantly broke through four forts in a short ten days.
This kind of result would make any force in the Raging Flame Plane jealous.
This could be said to be the biggest victory the two forces had ever had in the Raging Flame Plane. The Merlin Family had operated in the Raging Flame Plane for several hundred years, yet they only had three forts. But now, they seized four from the hands of the Thawing Fire Tribe. This kind of victory couldn't be described as generous.
In fact, these four forts were the only way to the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Mountain. They were also the four natural barriers protecting the Holy Mountain. Each fort was heavily garrisoned, but the allied army formed by the Merlin Family and the Black Tower was too powerful. The Beastmen garrisoned in the forts didn't last long before the forts were breached.
The allied army didn't give the Thawing Fire Tribe any chance to catch their breath. On the second day after breaking through the four forts, the allied army rested and reorganized before advancing towards the Holy Mountain in a grandiose manner. After spending half a day, the allied army set up camp thirty kilometers away from the Holy Mountain. Everyone understood that a world-shaking battle would soon take place. That was the decisive battle between the allied army and the Thawing Fire Tribe.
If the Thawing Fire Tribe lost this battle, then there would only be twelve Beastman Tribes left in the Raging Flame Plane. This was the most crucial battle. The Thawing Fire Tribe would inevitably dispatch all their powerhouses and gather at the foot of the Holy Mountain to stop the allied army. This would be the most difficult battle for the allied army.
Winning this battle would be equivalent to eliminating the Thawing Fire Tribe. Those four forts as well as the Ghost Valley would fall into the hands of the Black Tower and the Merlin Family. These two forces would inevitably gain a huge advantage in the future contest over the Raging Flame Plane.
At this time, the final pre-war meeting was being held in the camp. Some time ago, before attacking the four forts, there would be a meeting mainly between the Merlin Family and the Black Tower. The two forces would discuss the details of the battle, as well as some battle deployments. Only four people were qualified to participate in this meeting: Lin Yun, Thorne, Merlin, Weiss, and Suval.
This was a temporary meeting room. It looked somewhat simple and crude, but no one cared about these details.
Although Lin Yun would participate in every meeting, he rarely spoke because commanding wasn't his forte. He even took the initiative to relinquish the command of the Merlin Family's Planar Legion. In the previous battles, he had given the command to Thorne, Merlin, and the pre-war meetings were the same. Thorne, Merlin, and Weiss would mostly discuss it.
Although Suval, the Representative of the Black Tower, wasn't like Lin Yun, he rarely spoke. Every meeting was like a formality. But today, this aged Representative's eyes were bright and full of expression.
Just as Thorne, Merlin, and Weiss were spitting saliva, Suval put down the cup in his hand and swept the audience with his gaze before saying, "I'll say a few words. This battle is the final confrontation between our two forces and the Thawing Fire Tribe. It is the most crucial battle, so we can't make any mistakes. I have a proposal I'd like to share with everyone. You should know that in the previous battles, our two forces had each commanded their own legions, causing some unavoidable losses. Thus, I propose that this final battle be commanded by one person."
After saying this, Suval's expression didn't change as he moistened his throat with the cup of water. He looked at Thorne, Merlin, and said, "Thorne, Merlin, the forces dispatched by our Black Tower are far stronger than your Merlin Family. Moreover, I'm a 7th Rank Archmage. Is there anyone stronger than me here? "I was already a Representative of the Black Tower three hundred years ago and have commanded countless battles. In the current Black Tower, besides Sir Hören, no one is more qualified than me. Thus, I feel that I should be the one to command the forces of the Merlin Family and the Black Tower in the final battle."
Recently, Suval's mood had been very gloomy. After the four forts were breached and the troops arrived at the Holy Mountain, he had become somewhat restless. He was truly unwilling. If he didn't do something and smoothly eliminate the Thawing Fire Tribe, the Merlin Family would obtain indescribable benefits. This wasn't something he wanted to see.
But after thinking about it, it seemed that he could only think of a solution in the final battle.
In fact, the solution was very simple. Just as he had said, the final battle was bound to be very difficult. He would be facing the strongest force of the Thawing Fire Tribe, and if there was a mistake in command, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.
If he could obtain the command of the two major forces, it would be a lot easier to deal with the Merlin Family. During the battle, he would just have to give some orders and the Merlin Family's Planar Legion would suffer huge losses.
It was for this reason that Suval wanted to ask for the command of the two major forces in the final meeting. In fact, he wasn't interested in commanding the battle, but in order to deal with the Merlin Family, he could only do this.
"Sir Suval, this isn't too good …"
Thorne Merlin, who was sitting across from Suval, had an unsightly expression. Although the final battle was crucial, he didn't want to give the command to someone from the Black Tower. If the other side harbored selfish motives and deliberately made a wrong decision against the Merlin Family's Planar Legion, then the Planar Legion would inevitably suffer unimaginable losses. After all, this battle wasn't a small matter, and they would be facing the strongest force of the Thawing Fire Tribe.
He had heard that this Representative of the Black Tower named Suval had a grudge with Thornton Merlin.
"Thorne Merlin, do you think that I, Suval, am not qualified, or do you want the command?" Hearing Thorne Merlin's tactful refusal, Suval's expression suddenly turned cold, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"No, no … Sir Suval, you misunderstand." Thorne Merlin was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat, but he couldn't be bothered to wipe it. Just by looking at Suval's expression, he could see that this aloof Representative of the Black Tower was dissatisfied with him.
To tell the truth, Thorne Merlin truly didn't dare to offend Suval.
Even if he had a high status and was a 5th Rank Sword Saint as the Commander of the Raging Flame Plane, he was far inferior to Suval. The latter was a Representative of the Black Tower's Council of Seven, and he was a lot stronger than him.
"Since you don't object, then I'll command the troops of the Black Tower and the Merlin Family …" Suval expressionlessly glanced at Thorne Merlin.
But at this time, the silent Lin Yun suddenly knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Sir Suval, does Sir Hören know that you want the command?"
"I …"
