Suval's expression turned ashen, he was speechless. He wanted to take command of the two major forces and secretly deal with the Merlin Family. This was a last-minute idea, how could Hören, who was far away in the Dark Moon Fort, know about it? The young mage's words were only a simple question. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't make Suval lose his composure.
But these words poked at Suval's sore spot, it was as if he was threatening him with Sir Hören. He clearly remembered Sir Hören reprimanding him over two months ago. He had even warned him that if he provoked Mafa Merlin again, he would have no choice but to obediently scram back to the Holy Land.
"Haha, I think we should forget about this matter …"
Whis saw that the situation wasn't right and immediately stood up with a smile. "After all, this cooperation is based on the premise that both sides are equal. It wouldn't be good if one of the forces took command."
After saying that, Whis suddenly felt Suval's murderous gaze, but he didn't care. Before leaving, he had heard Hören say that Suval wouldn't stay in the Raging Flame Plane after eliminating the Thawing Fire Tribe.
In fact, Whis was also very helpless.
Sir Hören had personally said that there was a Heaven Rank powerhouse standing behind Mafa Merlin. The Black Tower wouldn't dare to rashly provoke such a person. Although Whis and Suval didn't have a harmonious relationship, they were still members of the Black Tower. If Suval went too far and angered the Heaven Rank powerhouse behind the young mage, the Black Tower would be in trouble.
This meeting went on for over three hours. Thorne and Weiss discussed the deployment of the battle, as well as some other details, but Thorne was very worried. From time to time, he would glance at the young mage next to him out of the corner of his eyes. He suddenly felt that this young mage was becoming more and more unfathomable.
When the young mage first arrived in the Raging Flame Plane, some of his preposterous actions were truly hard to accept. Especially when he led over five hundred Great Mages in the vicinity of the Ghost Valley. This made him sneer incessantly, thinking, 'Is that guy's brain damaged? He wants to attack the Ghost Valley with such a small force? He really doesn't know how to write the word' death '…'
However, it didn't take long for a resounding slap to his face. The young mage had used some unknown method to form a cooperation with the Black Tower. Their goal was to eliminate the Thawing Fire Tribe and control the Ghost Valley.
What happened in the meeting was even more outrageous. Representative Suval of the Black Tower had overbearingly wanted to obtain the authority to command the Merlin Family's Planar Legion, and Lin Yun didn't dare to refuse because of Suval's status and strength. Seeing that Suval was about to succeed, the young mage only said a few words, and the 7th Rank Archmage Suval unexpectedly didn't say anything else. Then, Weiss came out to mediate and calm the storm.
Thorne Merlin still didn't dare to believe it. That was Suval! In all of Okland, there weren't many people who would dare to offend Suval, yet the young mage's words made Suval so afraid.
What kind of concept was this?
Suval wasn't only tyrannical, but he also had a colossus behind him, one of the two major mage forces of the kingdom, the Black Tower. But Thorne Merlin clearly saw that after the young mage finished speaking, Suval, who had been acting very domineering, turned ashen and didn't say anything else.
At this time, he was looking at the young mage with a very complicated expression.
Following the conclusion of the pre-war conference, the allied army rested and reorganized before making a series of arrangements. At the foot of the Holy Mountain, they ultimately encountered the Thawing Fire Tribe's army. That was an extremely frightening force. As far as the eye could see, Raging Flame Beastmen were everywhere, riding Ashen Wolves as they charged. In the sky, fiery-red Wyverns kept circling around, as well as countless Volcano Spirits that had transformed into Flame Crows.
This fierce battle lasted for over ten hours, and as the last Raging Flame Beastman fell, the allied army paid a disastrous price to obtain victory. In this battle, the Beastman army was completely annihilated. Among them were over a dozen Archmage powerhouses, as well as five Prophets, including a Great Prophet.
In the Thawing Fire Tribe, there were a total of 6 Prophets, they were equivalent to the council's authority. Among them, there was also a Great Prophet. In the battle at the foot of the Holy Mountain, the Thawing Fire Tribe lost 5 Prophets. Even the strongest Great Prophet died in battle. After this final battle, the Thawing Fire Tribe was truly finished.
However, that mysterious Tribal Chief had never appeared from start to finish …
Once the allied army finished cleaning up the battlefield, they found an open space at the foot of the mountain to set up camp. After resting for a day, the Black Tower's Weiss suddenly ran to Lin Yun's living quarters and invited him to go to the Holy Mountain.
To Lin Yun, the Holy Mountain was something he had to go to. Let alone anything else, just the legend Yass mentioned was worth a trip. If he could find that thing, he might be able to smoothly break through the defensive power of the Raising Dragon Array.
As for why the Black Tower was so keen on the Holy Mountain, he could easily guess the reason.
That Peak True Spirit Totem had been left behind by an ancestor of the Thawing Fire Tribe. For countless years, that totem had been used as a token of the Thawing Fire Tribe's Tribal Chief position. Only the Tribal Chief of each generation had the qualifications to control it.
But the Tribal Chief hadn't appeared in the battle at the foot of the Holy Mountain.
If the Black Tower wanted to obtain that totem, they would have to go to the Holy Mountain and find the Tribal Chief. And Lin Yun also had to go to the Holy Mountain to find something that could open the Raising Dragon Array, so he didn't refuse and happily agreed.
But the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Mountain was a very special place. It was nurtured by the Raging Flame Plane's Origin Power and had an extremely strong repulsive power towards races other than Raging Flame Beastmen. Even Great Mages would be exhausted before reaching the peak.
Early the next morning, the two major forces went to the Holy Mountain with their own ulterior motives. This time, there were clearly fewer people. On the Merlin Family's side, all powerhouses above the High Mage realm were dispatched. There were several hundred of them, including Lin Yun, the three Merlin cousins, Thorne, Merlin, and the others. Those Great Mages of the army remained at the foot of the mountain.
In contrast, the Black Tower dispatched more people: Weiss, Suval, and a few other Archmages, as well as the mage army.
The group had just arrived at the Holy Mountain when they clearly felt the pressure of the world. But these people were powerhouses above the High Mage realm, so they weren't too affected.
After yesterday's bitter battle, apart from the Tribal Chief and the remaining Prophet, almost everyone else had been eliminated by the allied army. And on this trip to the Holy Mountain, Lin Yun and the Black Tower were looking for something.
This was the first time in countless years that humans had set foot on the mysterious Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Mountain.
Arriving at the Holy Mountain was like entering a furnace, the surroundings were filled with a blazing aura. The soil under everyone's feet was dark red, and there was a faintly discernible aura of fire elements. It didn't take long before most of the people in the group were already drenched in sweat. Walking on the Holy Mountain consumed two to three times the usual amount of stamina.
But they didn't meet any obstructions on the way, not even a shadow of a Raging Flame Beastman. It looked like it was as they had guessed, the Thawing Fire Tribe had already been thoroughly eliminated after yesterday's battle at the foot of the Holy Mountain.
At this time, Lin Yun, who was walking on the dark red ground, was deeply moved. He still remembered the information he had read in the Merlin Family Manor.
A millennium ago, many forces of Okland, including the Merlin Family, obtained the Planar Coordinates of the Raging Flame Plane and opened a Planar Path. They were pleasantly surprised to find out that this huge plane was actually unimaginably fertile. Then, those first-rate forces transported a large number of powerhouses to the Raging Flame Plane.
At that time, the Raging Flame Plane was ruled by the Thirteen Beastman Tribes.
And in the ancient information of the Merlin Family, it was recorded in detail how powerful the Thawing Fire Tribe was.
A millennium ago, the Thawing Fire Tribe's system was the same as the current one. The tribe had a Tribal Chief and six Great Prophets. But the Tribal Chief of that time was a very frightening existence. Although he wasn't at the Heaven Rank, he had the power to kill Heaven Rank powerhouses like Oren Merlin of the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land. As for the tribe's six Great Prophets, they weren't weak, and a few of them were comparable to Peak Archmages.
During that time, no human force in the northeastern part of the Raging Flame Plane dared to clash with the Thawing Fire Tribe.
Not only that, but every once in a while, the Thawing Fire Tribe would send a large number of elite Wolf Riders and hundreds of Beastman Mages to summon endless Elemental lifeforms to target the human forces in the northeastern part of the plane. It was to the point that several major forces, including the Merlin Family, suffered a huge impact and lost countless powerhouses.
But the Raging Flame Plane was too fertile. Even so, the Merlin Family wasn't willing to give it up. Up until now, the Merlin Family and the Thawing Fire Tribe had been fighting for close to a millennium. Ever since Santon Merlin appeared three hundred years ago and killed that powerful Flame Demon guarding the Flame Demon Fort, he led the Planar Legion and eventually captured the Flame Demon Fort, causing the Thawing Fire Tribe to gradually decline. The tribe's overall strength was getting weaker and weaker every year.
Up until some time ago, the Thawing Fire Tribe, one of the Thirteen Beastman Tribes that had been passed down for countless years in the Raging Flame Plane, was pushed back by the Merlin Family and the Black Tower in a short month. They broke through four forts and finally reached the Holy Mountain.
If this news spread, the entire Andalusia Kingdom would be in turmoil.
Nothing could be done about it, it was too frightening.
After all, after the two major forces joined hands and thoroughly eliminated the Thawing Fire Tribe, it was equivalent to controlling half of the northern part of the Raging Flame Plane. More importantly, there were no Raging Flame Beastman forces in that area. In the future, the two major forces could safely mine ore veins and collect all kinds of resources. It wasn't like Okland's other forces in the Raging Flame Plane, always facing the threat of the Raging Flame Beastmen.
