Soon, the numerous powerhouses of the Flame Demon Fort sensed the activity in the laboratory. Thorne Merlin led a few people over and looked at the damaged laboratory before looking at Lin Yun. Everyone's expression became strange.
"High Mage Merlin, this …" Thorne Merlin had a puzzled expression. He had returned to the Raging Flame Plane from the Merlin Family five days ago. He had looked for Lin Yun before, but Lin Yun had been staying in the laboratory, not coming out. He only rushed over when he heard the disturbance.
"It's nothing, there was just an accident …" Lin Yun felt somewhat embarrassed. He waved his hand and didn't say anything else.
"Oh …" Thorne Merlin nodded, but he didn't ask anything else.
Lin Yun, Thorne Merlin, and the others then went to the Flame Demon Fort's conference hall. On the way, Thorne Merlin told Lin Yun about the cooperation between the three major forces. It turned out that the three major forces, including the Merlin Family, had already mobilized their troops near the Horn of Fertility and completed a series of pre-war deployments. They planned to officially attack the Horn of Fertility the next day.
Then, after a meeting that lasted for half an hour, it was decided that Thorne Merlin, Ida Merlin, and Yuri Merlin would stay in the Flame Demon Fort while Lin Yun would lead the remaining Archmages as well as the Merlin Family's Planar Legion to participate in the fight over the Horn of Fertility.
Two hours later, Lin Yun arrived at the Planar Legion's camp. Naturally, the Black Tower and the Watson Family were also there. After reaching the camp, Lin Yun didn't stay idle. He was invited by Weiss and Karl to participate in a long pre-war meeting. By the time the meeting ended, it was already evening.
This time, Lin Yun only brought the Draconic Beastman and Reina. As for the three Merlin brothers, they were left in the Ghost Valley. He could naturally see that the three youths of the Merlin Family had already reached the peak of the High Mage realm. Even if they came, they wouldn't be of much help in a large-scale battle like the Horn of Fertility. It would be better to spend their time meditating and stay in the Ghost Valley. Maybe they would be able to smoothly advance to the Archmage realm soon.
The next morning, the allied forces of the three great powers officially launched an attack on the Horn of Fertility …
Setting foot on the Horn of Fertility for the first time, the higher-ups of the three major forces were somewhat excited. This resource area was famous for its richness, and it had been spread among the major forces of Okland for close to a millennium. It could be said that no force could resist the temptation of the Horn of Fertility.
The ground beneath everyone's feet was dark red. At a glance, there were countless active volcanoes towering over this vast land. The surrounding air was also filled with a scorching aura …
At this time, the allied forces that had just arrived at the Horn of Fertility had already discovered traces of ore veins, but they didn't stop. As they went deeper, more and more ore veins appeared in their line of sight. This was simply maddening, and some areas rich in mana were even covered in herbs.
In fact, the name 'Horn of Fertility' was widely spread among the major forces of Okland because of a deeper reason. Everyone knew that as the strongest existence of the Thirteen Tribes, the Fireblade Tribe had been living at the end of the Wailing River for several millennia. Even after a millennium, the major forces of Okland had dispatched more and more Planar Legions to participate in the Raging Flame Plane's contest, occupying two-thirds of the Raging Flame Plane's territory, but the Fireblade Tribe hadn't suffered too many losses. They weren't just a little bit stronger than the Thawing Fire Tribe.
The main reason was the Horn of Fertility.
In the eyes of those human forces, they might only see the rich side of the Horn of Fertility, but those ore veins, medicinal herbs, and so on had no value to the Raging Flame Beastmen. At most, they would mine some ore veins and forge crude weapons. Their forging civilization was simply too far behind.
What the Fireblade Tribe truly cared about was the terrain of the Horn of Fertility. This place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was the only way to the Fireblade Tribe's territory. Close to half of the tribe's elite troops were stationed there all year round. Even if the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower joined hands, they might not necessarily be able to breach the Horn of Fertility.
Clearly, the Black Tower was very ambitious in this cooperation between the three major forces. After capturing the Horn of Fertility, they would inevitably make a move on the nearby forts and nibble away at the Fireblade Tribe.
The majestic allied army was made up of several thousand people, and their momentum was huge as they advanced. On the way, they met a few weak Beastman Cavalry squads. There were only a dozen Raging Flame Beastmen, and they looked like scouting squads. Unfortunately, they didn't even have time to scream before they were drowned by spells.
After about half an hour, Lin Yun suggested that the allied army stop for the time being. After the higher-ups of the three major forces discussed it, they ultimately accepted Lin Yun's suggestion. After all, even if there weren't many Beastmen left in the Horn of Fertility, it was better to be careful. Then, the majestic allied army stopped and reorganized on the spot, while each side dispatched a scouting squad.
"Truly a waste of time …" Suval sneered as he looked at Lin Yun. During the discussion, he had insisted on opposing Lin Yun's suggestion. In his eyes, it was truly a waste of time.
Moreover, even from a personal point of view, he would unhesitantly refute Lin Yun's suggestion. Recalling what happened in the Ghost Valley over half a month ago, he clenched his teeth in anger. If not for that damned Mafa Merlin, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.
If his previous hostility towards the young mage was because of Thornton Merlin, then after experiencing those things, his hatred for the young mage was only a bit less than Thornton Merlin's.
Then, Suval disdainfully curled his lips and mocked, "I really don't understand. What is there to be afraid of? Mafa Merlin, could it be that you think the allied army formed by the three major forces can't even deal with the remnants of the army garrisoned in the Horn of Fertility? If that's the case, your Merlin Family should quickly withdraw from this cooperation … "
"…" Weiss, who was standing on the side, was trembling with fear as he looked at Suval. He was truly helpless. Suval was originally going to be transferred back to Noscent after participating in the Thawing Fire Tribe's campaign.
But, just as Suval was about to set out, the matter of the Horn of Fertility happened. A high-end powerhouse like Suval would inevitably play a decisive role in this struggle. After careful consideration, Sir Hören decided to let Suval stay in the Raging Flame Plane for the time being.
"Haha …"
Lin Yun suddenly narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. "Hold on, what's that sound …"
"What do you mean?" Weiss, who was the closest to Lin Yun, was at a loss. He turned his head and looked all around, but then, his expression froze. "Fuck, that seems to be a Beastman army …"
Just as Weiss' words fell, over a dozen red arrows flew into the sky a few hundred meters away from the camp. Everyone recognized them with a glance. Those were the alarms issued by the scouts.
"Prepare to fight, prepare to fight …"
As a series of urgent orders were passed down, the allied forces that were in a state of recuperation quickly moved to prepare for the next battle.
It took less than a minute for the allied army to hold their swords and shields at the forefront of the allied army, forming a dense defensive formation to resist the Beastman Cavalry's first attack.
"Rumble …"
Dust billowed as countless Beastman Cavalrymen riding on Ashen Demon Wolves appeared in the Allied Army's field of vision. They charged at the Allied Army at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, thousands of Beastman Cavalrymen charged forward with great momentum. At that moment, countless dark-red soil tumbled, as if the entire earth was trembling.
Following behind the Beastman Cavalrymen were the spear-wielding Wyverns. Before the Beastman Cavalrymen even arrived, the Raging Flame Beastmen threw a wave of spears, covering the sky and earth as they rained down on the allied army.
Over five hundred meters away stood a large group of Beastman Mages. They all had sinister expressions as they chanted obscure and difficult to understand incantations. Suddenly, a scorching aura spread in all directions as tyrannical Fire Elementals were summoned. Volcano Spirits, Ash Spirits, Lava Giants, and so on … Countless Fire Elementals fiercely attacked the allied army.
Soon, the battlefield fell into chaos. Scorching air currents collided with dazzling spells, creating sparks on the battlefield as the Beastman army and the allied army fought.
Tyrannical auras rose up from the center of the battlefield as the Archmages of the allied army also participated in the battle. Gorgeous spells swept with terrifying auras and exploded towards the Beastman Cavalrymen. Large swathes of Beastman Cavalrymen didn't even have time to scream before turning to ashes.
At the same time, the allied army suffered a large number of casualties at every moment, most of them being Great Mages.
At this time, a dark red silhouette moved like a bolt of lightning, swinging his two-handed hammer and shuttling back and forth across the battlefield. Every time he swung it, he would take the lives of four to five Raging Flame Beastmen. It didn't take long before that Gold Essence Hammer was covered in blood and countless Raging Flame Beastman corpses were lying around.
"Hateful, truly hateful …" The Draconic Beastman held Carnage with both hands and swung it mechanically, leaving corpses everywhere he went. Large swathes of Beastman Cavalrymen were sent flying, and even the Ashen Wolves weren't spared. But the Draconic Beastman was still cursing.
