Ever since William followed Lin Yun, his strength had been progressing too quickly. He had advanced to the Archmage realm, and even he didn't know how powerful Lin Yun was now.
'Look at the people Cousin Mafa usually comes into contact with. If it isn't Sir Joy of the Cloud Tower, Chairman Hören of the Black Tower, or even Prophet Deloy of the Gaugass Battlemages.
'What kind of people are they? The leaders of the two peak forces of the Andalusia are very polite when meeting Cousin Mafa, and that Prophet Deloy is said to be very wise. I saw him take the initiative to greet Cousin Mafa that day, while he only nodded when others greeted Prophet Deloy.
'How could anyone not understand such a simple logic? Cousin Mafa is definitely frightening to the point where he can stand on equal footing with a powerhouse like Sir Joy. The last time the Merlin Family's Patriarch met Sir Joy, Sir Joy wasn't that close.
'A mage family heir of the Odin Kingdom actually dares to speak to Cousin Mafa like that? Isn't this a slap in my face? I have to get rid of him, I have to get rid of him …'
As for the leader of the mage army, a 2nd Rank Archmage, he was usually very humble, but now his eyes were filled with killing intent as he walked towards Lin Yun and deeply bowed.
"Sir Merlin, please allow me to lead the mage army to make these guys blaspheme your dignity pay the price. Our staves can't wait to drink their blood, our spells can't wait to tear them to pieces …"
The group was filled with killing intent. Whether it was Xiuban, William, or Kurumu, their strength had increased by leaps and bounds after following Lin Yun, but they hadn't had a decent fight. Their days had been smooth sailing, and their self-confidence had already started swelling.
'Now, we actually encountered a successor of the Odin Kingdom. A mere successor actually dares to make Sir Merlin his subordinate. This isn't just an insult to Sir Merlin, it's an insult to all of us …'
"Merlin, let's go get rid of them. This is a battlefield anyway. So what if we get rid of them? What is the Odin Kingdom? It's just an alliance formed by a bunch of lucky fellows. Apart from the strongest few, let's get rid of the rest …"
Anderfa wished for the world to be in chaos, so he fanned the flames from the side, instigating Lin Yun to take some people to kill Wagner and the others.
Just as they were talking, Lord Sean also came out of the ring, howling as he followed the crowd.
"Merlin, who should we kill? "Great Sir Shawn is almost done recuperating. Three spirit mana crystals, I guarantee that none of them will be able to escape …"
The group excitedly wanted to get rid of Wagner, but Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head.
"Alright, it would be a pity to get rid of that guy. I have a use for him, what's the rush …"
This group of guys had been following Lin Yun very smoothly. Whoever dared to provoke him would be beaten up, but they couldn't stand this kind of grievance. Lin Yun was a bit helpless. After appeasing his subordinates, he went to the temporary camp by himself.
The next day, an arrogant mage entered Lin Yun's camp.
"You are Mafa Merlin, right? Listen up, I am Young Master Wagner's most trusted subordinate, Sir Doug. Today, I represent Young Master Wagner to discuss with you how to attack the Radiant Fort. "
Doug slightly raised his chin, as if he was a city dweller looking down on a country bumpkin. He walked to Lin Yun with his hands behind his back, glancing at the crude tables and chairs in the camp before looking at the vulgar Xiuban in the distance. He had a disgusted expression as he gave up on the idea of sitting down.
The others stood in the distance with unkind expressions. William was staring at Doug, looking as if he couldn't make a move. Anderfa was fanning the flames from the side, while Kurumu was caressing his Dragonscale Staff and faintly sighed.
Doug had an arrogant expression, a wisp of disdain in his eyes.
'Truly trash. Look at these people, they don't have the slightest bit of cultivation. The dignity of mages has been thrown away by these people. The Kingdom of Andalusia is truly a countryside for mages. Even the most remote areas of the Odin Kingdom are more dignified than them.
'I really don't understand why Young Master Wagner didn't drive away these country bumpkins and actually let them participate in the attack on the Radiant Fort. Isn't this the same as letting these country bumpkins take the points?
Although they won't take too much, thinking that some of the points will be taken away by these people makes me unhappy. 'No good, I can't let these small families of the Kingdom of Andalusia take advantage of me.
'In any case, Young Master Wagner wants me to negotiate, so I'll set the conditions a bit higher and be a bit stricter. Most of the points will be ours, but the work will be given to them.'
"Mafa Merlin, our Young Master wants us to first clean up the tribes around the Radiant Fort. Let's discuss how to clean them up."
A faint smile could be seen at the corner of Lin Yun 'mouth. He was polite, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking. He only gestured for Doug to continue.
The corner of Doug's mouth curled up slightly.
"Since that's the case, I'll explain our George Family's intentions. When cleaning up the tribes around the Radiant Fort, we'll handle the intelligence gathering. After all, your intelligence gathering abilities are too poor. Really, if you hadn't rashly alarmed the Black Iron Beastmen, our George Family might have already attacked the Radiant Fort.
Perhaps our George Family has already attacked the Radiant Fort. Therefore, the most important task of gathering intelligence will be completely handed over to us. You only need to wait for our orders. "
You don't have any objections, do you? "
Doug asked for Lin Yun's opinion, but he didn't have much hope. After all, everyone knew that intelligence gathering was the most important thing in a war. Timely and accurate intelligence would spread the results of the battle a few times, and the losses and energy spent would be a lot less.
But wrong intelligence, or misguided intelligence, might even send everyone to their graves. No one would hand over intelligence gathering to others. That would be the same as putting their own lives in the hands of others.
This was a bargaining. If the George Family put more effort into intelligence gathering, they would naturally have to put less effort into other areas.
But what surprised Doug was that Lin Yun seemed to casually nod.
"Alright, I'll leave the intelligence gathering to your George Family."
Doug froze. He hadn't expected Lin Yun to agree so straightforwardly, but he was immediately overjoyed.
'Great! Leaving the intelligence gathering to our George Family will reduce our losses to a minimum. Moreover, these Andalusia country bumpkins don't know that our intelligence gathering has already been done.
"Good! Since the intelligence work has been handed over to our George family, when we unite and attack each tribe, the vanguard task will be handed over to you. After all, we have to do intelligence work, and our manpower is too scattered. It's normal to hand over the vanguard task to you … "
Doug didn't have time to finish before Lin Yun nodded.
"Okay, no problem."
Doug froze for a moment before he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, his appetite growing bigger and bigger.
"Good, since that's the case, you will be the vanguard. After repelling the Raging Flame Beastmen's attack, we'll take care of the battles inside the tribe. Our George Family has been fighting the Raging Flame Beastmen for so many years, we have the most experience.
"Then, you will guard the outside and not let the Raging Flame Beastmen escape. Most importantly, you have to make sure that the spies of the other tribes don't escape when we attack. You should be able to do that, right?"
Doug stared at Lin Yun, feeling somewhat uncertain. After all, he had come to negotiate. For the sake of the George Family's interests, he had to be greedy, and he could still bargain later.
This request was a bit excessive. Making Lin Yun's people act as the vanguard … What was a vanguard? Anyone who had fought in the Raging Flame Plane for a while knew that this was the most dangerous mission.
Those Raging Flame Beastmen didn't fear death when fighting, and they were crazy and frightening. Every time they encountered an enemy, they would send a large number of elites. Their fighting style was completely different from that of humans. They would first send some ordinary soldiers to probe the enemy.
Especially when it came to attacking the Raging Flame Beastmen's tribe. There was no need to think about it, the Raging Flame Beastmen would definitely send most of their powerhouses to the battlefield.
If the vanguard repelled the other side, many of the Raging Flame Beastmen's elites would die, and the remaining elites would be injured, greatly reducing their fighting power. With the addition of some Beastmen with low fighting power, the entire tribe's power would plummet to rock bottom.
Attacking the tribe at such a time would be the best opportunity. It would be the easiest, and the rewards would be the greatest.
At the vanguard, they would only get points for killing Raging Flame Beastmen, but to completely flatten the tribe would give a lot more points than killing some Raging Flame Beastmen.
Killing a Raging Flame Beastman would only count as a head. Apart from the strongest Raging Flame Beastmen with the highest status like the Great Sheikh, it wouldn't have too much of an impact on the entire campaign.
But the significance of breaching a tribe was completely different. No matter how many Raging Flame Beastmen they killed, they would only get a few tens of thousands of points. But breaching a tribe, not counting the Raging Flame Beastmen, would give them over a hundred thousand points.
Adding on the rewards and points obtained from the cleansing of the Raging Flame Beastman Tribe, more than half of the points would go to the George Family. Moreover, the George Family didn't have to spend much effort and didn't suffer any huge losses. They would even be able to plunder a lot of loot from the Raging Flame Beastman Tribe.
The dirty and tiring work, the one who put in the most effort, the one who suffered the most losses, and the one who gained the least was Lin Yun's job.
But Lin Yun still calmly nodded.
"Okay, let's do it that way."
