Hören bitterly smiled and shook his head. He had already guessed what had happened. Barok must have gone to look for trouble with Mafa Merlin, but he wasn't his opponent. At the last moment, Weiss appeared and made Mafa Merlin show mercy.
With that youth's temperament, this kind of person who took the initiative to look for trouble wouldn't be lucky enough to survive.
There was no need to recall Barok, it was already too late. Hören waved his hand to let the few people who came in leave, and after contemplating for a bit, he left the Black Tower's Council Hall.
Hören walked along the quiet path for half an hour before reaching the Black Tower's Holy Land.
The Holy Land was shrouded in darkness, and nothing could be seen in the darkness. Hören wasn't as good as the darkness, and soon, a deafening roar echoed from the Holy Land.
"You dare to imprison my disciple? Can the Black Tower be bullied by anyone now? "
After a short moment, Hören walked out of the Holy Land and bitterly smiled as he shook his head.
Raging Flame Plane, Flame Demon Fort …
The Merlin Family wasn't at all pressured by the arrival of the war. On the contrary, everything was becoming more and more prosperous.
Lin Yun's three subordinate races had been dispatched by Lin Yun, and no one knew where they went.
A few two-meter-long Mana Crystal Cannons suddenly appeared on the Flame Demon Fort's defensive line, their pitch-black muzzles giving off a powerful deterrent. After testing the cannons a few times, the scouts that were loitering outside had all disappeared.
Everything became quiet. Xiuban was still hugging a pile of potions every day, and after eating his fill, he would lie down on the roof of a large tent to sleep. But his aura was becoming more and more frightening. Sometimes, people who didn't know what was going on would feel as if there was a sleeping magic beast in the surroundings.
Reina was still studying incantations every day, and when she had nothing to do, she would run out to experiment on spells, continuously increasing her strength, and the growth of her mana was a lot faster than before.
The progress of the fifty High Mages under Lin Yun was also very fast. The weakest one was already a 4th Rank High Mage, while the strongest was already a 7th Rank High Mage.
In addition, Lin Yun had used the harvest this time to tailor-make magic staffs for the fifty of them, and their combat power had been raised to another level.
Although these staves were Inheritance Magic Tools and none of them were Spiritual Magic Tools, they were all embedded with the spirit mana crystals of Flame Magic Beasts. This meant that the original owner of each mana crystal was a Level 30 or higher magic beast.
Lin Yun had also carved arrays on the mana crystals and studied the Intrepid's Heaven Grade Array. Although it was only a bit of understanding, it was already far beyond his original level.
Not only were the magical crystals invested, but the body of the staff was also made of Scarlet Flame Wood. That kind of precious wood could only grow in places with rich fire elements. Under normal circumstances, it would only grow next to a continuously flowing flow of lava.
Because if the lava was stagnant, it simply wouldn't be able to withstand the absorption of the Scarlet Flame Wood. It would only take a few years for the lava to solidify and lose its heat, and the Scarlet Flame Wood would wither.
A staff made of Scarlet Flame Wood, even if it didn't have a single rune or array carved on it, could increase the power of fire spells by 30%!
Now, every corner of the staves held by the fifty High Mages had been carved by Lin Yun, and the combination of the two greatly increased the effect of the Scarlet Flame Wood.
When used with the spirit mana crystal of the Flame Magic Beast, the consumption of fire spells would be reduced by 30%, but the power would be increased by half, and the casting time of fire spells would be reduced by half! The speed at which fire elements converged would be increased by half!
This kind of extreme effect would allow the mage holding the staff to have the effect of a peak Spiritual Magic Tool when using fire spells!
And when using other spells, the effect would be reduced by more than half. It could only be considered a half Inheritance Magic Tool.
This kind of staff was most suitable for these fifty High Mages. Their Magic Conducting Rune, Blazing Storm, could be considered the most powerful Magic Conducting Rune of war. It specialized in fire spells, and the power of fire spells would be increased by at least 30%.
When these elements were combined, the power of the fifty High Mages would completely change. The fifty High Mages would be able to last three minutes against Lin Yun!
Lin Yun was very satisfied with this result. If they went on the battlefield, these fifty High Mages would definitely be able to display the power of a well-trained mage army, and they might even be a bit stronger!
Because they didn't come together to deal with a single powerhouse, they were born for war!
Only on the battlefield would their frightening power be reflected.
Seeing these fifty High Mages advancing so quickly, Thorne thickened his face and came to bother Lin Yun every day.
'The Merlin Family has suffered disastrous losses, and their strength isn't good enough, they can't hold on …'
'If something happens and you aren't here, the Merlin Family won't be able to hold on, and we'll have to rely on the younger generation. You have to think of a way to increase the strength of the younger generation …'
'These youngsters are quite talented, but their strength is increasing too slowly. If there is a war, it would be a pity if they died.'
Lin Yun didn't have any other choice but to give Thorne an eight-formula Meditation Law Set as well as a swordsman's Aura Training Method.
The Watson Family hadn't made any moves recently, and Zeuss was sincerely convinced by Lin Yun. There wasn't any movement on this side, and now that the Merlin Family's people went out, no one from the Watson Family dared to be arrogant. Everyone's attitude took a 180-degree turn. At least on the surface, no one dared to say anything about the Merlin Family.
The Black Tower was deathly silent. Barok was suppressed in the Ghost Valley, and the Black Tower didn't even send someone to investigate. It was unknown what Hören was thinking, but he didn't make any movements, as if nothing had happened.
The Black Tower's people also seemed to have changed. On the surface, no one dared to be arrogant in front of the Merlin Family. Those who had a bit of opposition were all trapped in the Black Tower's fort, unable to see the people of the Merlin Family.
Along with the extraction of resources, a steady flow of resources was sent to the Flame Demon Fort, and the Merlin Family's side showed signs of flourishing.
In the end, the Watson Family and the Black Tower even came to ask Lin Yun about the time to go to the Storm Fort. It seemed that the Merlin Family had jumped to the position of first among the three forces.
And the people who were secretly spying on the Merlin Family temporarily retreated. At least for the time being, no one came to cause trouble for the Merlin Family.
Like this, Lin Yun could feel at ease and increase his strength.
As Lin Yun's strength steadily increased, the day of the general attack also arrived.
"The Storm Fort is the largest fort in the northern part of the Raging Flame Plane. It was originally jointly attacked by the two strongest forces of the kingdom, the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower. Now, the two forces each occupy half of it and don't interfere with each other. Usually, there are only troops stationed here, but the commander isn't here. For the general attack, most of the kingdom's forces will send representatives, and once everyone arrives, they will officially start discussing how to launch the general attack …"
Lin Yun listened to the explanation of the person next to him. Thorne was afraid that Lin Yun wouldn't care about these matters and had been going to the alchemy laboratory every day for the past few days, so he specifically sent someone to tell Lin Yun about the Storm Fort on the way.
He even told Lin Yun which forces were going to the Storm Fort and who the commander was. All of this information was given to Lin Yun.
But to be honest, Thorne's worries were reasonable. Lin Yun hadn't thought too much about it, and he hadn't expected that the kingdom would really go all out this time. They were so determined to thoroughly capture the Raging Flame Plane.
There were so many forces, yet they only started discussing how to attack the Storm Fort. They didn't even have a preliminary plan. Lin Yun was a bit speechless.
Lin Yun led his fifty High Mages, as well as Reina and Xiuban's group. The Black Tower's people led the way, while Lin Yun's people and the Watson Family's people followed on the side.
On the way, they encountered scattered magic beasts or Raging Flame Beastman scouts, but they were all swept away by the Black Tower.
This time, the Merlin Family only brought Lin Yun's group. They didn't bring a single Swordsman. The Black Tower and the Watson Family brought a lot more people. There were several hundred mages of different ranks, as well as two to three thousand Divine Archers and Swordsmen. They were all elites.
Zeuss and Weiss were endlessly shocked when they saw Lin Yun leading fifty High Mages. After all, the weakest here was a 5th Rank High Mage, while the strongest was an 8th Rank High Mage. Moreover, the fifty of them stood together, and their auras seemed to fuse into one. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these people were terrifyingly powerful.
Zeuss and Weiss sighed at Lin Yun's generosity. After all, the Black Tower and the Watson Family didn't even have fifty High Mages, and they didn't seem to be as powerful as Lin Yun's subordinates.
Thus, early on, Zeuss and Weiss gave orders to the two families to not provoke the Merlin Family.
But things weren't absolute. Zeuss' prestige in the Watson Family was still very high. After Green Watson left, Zeuss became the sole leader, and no one dared to carelessly disobey Zeuss' orders.
As for the Black Tower's side, it was a lot more complicated. Not counting Barok, there were four 5th Rank Archmages, and these people weren't very obedient to Weiss. They were at least passable on the surface, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Especially a month ago, the idea of suppressing the Merlin Family had been made by one of these people. Moreover, Barok had been suppressed by Lin Yun, and this matter had been concealed. Besides Weiss, only Hören knew about it. These days of peace had been maintained by Weiss.
As the group was moving forward, a 6th Rank Archmage quietly appeared next to Lin Yun's group.
John was wearing a black robe and had a gloomy expression. He had a fake smile on his face, as if he was mocking someone.
