Hören clearly understood that this young Archmage didn't care about this kind of thing.
"Sir Dephew, please leave immediately, or I'll immediately ask the Holy Land to arbitrate."
Hören had just landed when he gave an order to Dephew with an unsightly expression.
Dephew was about to say something, but he noticed that Hören's expression was a bit cold, so he seemed to recall something and sneered.
"Sir Hören, there is no need for you to say anything, I would have reported this matter to the Holy Land. You are actually cooperating with such a weak guy, you are simply losing face for our Black Tower's Holy Land!"
"And you, Mafa Merlin, don't think that Hören is helping you. What qualifications do you have to stand here? A trash force like yours should always follow behind others and take advantage of others. You actually dared to come here, hmpf …"
Dephew knew that since Hören had appeared, he wouldn't be able to do anything he wanted. If he said anything, it would be a direct confrontation with Hören.
Seeing Dephew leave, Hören sighed in relief. He then immediately walked to Lin Yun with a rare bitter smile.
"Sir Mafa, I'm really sorry, this Dephew is the reinforcements sent by the Black Tower's Holy Land. You know the current situation, the overall situation is the most important. If an internal strife occurs at this time, we will be in big trouble.
"Although that guy is a bit hateful, he is still a member of the Black Tower's Holy Land. I know that he definitely isn't your opponent. I already told him that you were very powerful, but that idiot didn't believe me.
"He has a very high status in the Black Tower's Holy Land, or it could be said that his backer is a Heaven Rank powerhouse. If he dies here, my troubles wouldn't be any less than yours.
It's very likely that our plans will be greatly affected, and this campaign will be greatly affected as well.
"Sir Mafa, you mustn't lower yourself to that idiot's level. I'm hiding whenever I see him, I really don't want to see him. If it wasn't for the fact that such a powerhouse could be of great help at such a crucial time, I would have already asked the Holy Land to transfer him away …"
Hören smiled bitterly and kept explaining to Lin Yun. He was really a little scared.
He was really afraid that Lin Yun would get rid of Dephew in the Sunset Fort. He looked at the surrounding mages and saw that none of them had any fear. They were all holding their staves.
Hören could tell with a glance that these mages didn't seem to have high ranks, but none of them looked worried. It was clear that they knew that if a fight broke out, the one to die would definitely be Dephew.
Harren tried to persuade him for a few minutes before Lin Yun frowned and put away his Draconic Staff. Then, the mages of the mage army didn't say a word and dispersed, not saying a word during the whole process.
Seeing this scene, cold sweat trickled down Hören 'forehead.
'Fortunately, I sensed Dephew's aura and arrived in time. Otherwise, if they really fought, that idiot Dephew would have already met his ancestor …'
After persuading Lin Yun not to get rid of Dephew, Hören sighed in relief, but he was still worried.
'I could still persuade Mafa on this side. After all, Mafa would definitely do what he said, but that idiot Dephew doesn't listen to me. I already told him that Mafa was far more frightening than he could imagine and that he couldn't be treated as an ordinary Archmage, but he didn't believe me.
'Forget it, I'll go back and warn Dephew not to go too far, or Mafa Merlin will definitely get rid of him.
'Damn, how could the people from the Holy Land be so arrogant? Do they really think that the Holy Land is invincible? Do they think that the mages of the Holy Land are more powerful than those outside?
"Sir Mafa, if that Dephew comes looking for trouble, please give in to him a bit. The current situation … Ah, I don't know what to say …"
Hören couldn't help saying one last sentence, but halfway through, he blushed and couldn't continue.
Lin Yun faintly nodded his head, which could be considered as an agreement.
Hören hurriedly left and found Dephew. He used a solemn tone to warn Dephew, but Dephew had a disdainful expression and simply didn't believe Hören's words. Hören didn't say anything, but he could see that Dephew seemed to know that he couldn't do anything too excessive during this time, so he relaxed.
For the next three days, Dephew would go to the Merlin Family's camp every day to look for trouble. Although he had been warned by Hören that he couldn't directly make a move, he didn't miss a single word of infuriation.
The second time, Lin Yun's face turned green after hearing a few words and he turned to leave, afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and get rid of that guy.
Afterwards, Lin Yun shut himself in his room and set up a soundproof array. He even had his fifty mages cultivate in seclusion and not go out.
Dephew would say a bunch of strange words every time before leaving. He wanted to make a move to force Lin Yun to come out, but he recalled Hören's ruthless words that day. Making a move against an ally at such a time would definitely be severely punished, so Dephew endured and didn't make a move.
"Hmpf, that damned Mafa Merlin, you think you can just hide? Just wait, you'd better keep hiding and don't come out, or I definitely won't let you off!"
Three days later, Hören sent someone to invite Lin Yun to a meeting, and Lin Yun removed the soundproof array and came out of his room.
When he arrived at the meeting room, the higher-ups of the Black Tower and the Cloud Tower were already seated, and they all had solemn expressions.
Sir Joy was frowning, a wisp of worry visible in his eyes, while Hören's expression wasn't very good. The atmosphere was very heavy.
After Lin Yun sat down, Hören slowly opened his mouth.
"Since Sir Mafa has come, I'll get straight to the point. The Raging Flame Beastmen have already mobilized an army of ten thousand people to rush over to the Sunset Fort."
Hearing this, everyone went into an uproar, and Lin Yun slightly frowned. This wasn't good news.
Or it could be said that this was very bad news.
"Everyone knows that the Sunset Fort's location is very special. It's in the territory controlled by the Raging Flame Beastmen, and there are many natural strongholds in the surroundings. The Sunset Fort is stuck in the center of the path leading to the heart of the Raging Flame Plane. Whether it's to our allied army or to the Raging Flame Beastmen, it's incomparably important.
"Although I already knew that the Raging Flame Beastmen wouldn't give up on the Sunset Fort so easily, I hadn't expected these guys with brains and muscles to be able to gather such a powerful army so quickly.
"No less than ten thousand elites are pressuring the border and could surround the Sunset Fort at any time …"
As Hören said this with a solemn expression, Lin Yun 'expression also became serious.
An army of over ten thousand Raging Flame Beastmen … This wasn't a force that a fort could resist.
An army of over ten thousand Raging Flame Beastmen, and a relatively powerful elite force at that. There definitely wouldn't be a small number of powerhouses within, and although the three major forces weren't weak, they were all elite powerhouses.
The weakest powerhouse that could remain in the Sunset Fort was a High Mage, and there were many Archmages, including a few 9th Rank Archmages. Not to mention Joy and Hören, who were already standing at the peak of the 9th Rank.
But there was a fatal flaw, and that was that there were too few people.
There were only a few hundred people in the entire Sunset Fort, and even if they weren't weak, it still wouldn't be enough.
After all, these people weren't a true army. In such a large-scale battle, a single powerhouse wouldn't have much of an impact unless they had already reached the Heaven Rank.
The power of a mage army could display its greatest power in this kind of battle!
Some people had already noticed this, but they didn't pay too much attention to it. But Lin Yun clearly knew that in large-scale battles, apart from Heaven Rank powerhouses, the true mage army was the power that could decide the outcome of the battle!
When Noscent developed to its peak, all forces would focus on nurturing a mage army rather than a single powerhouse. The strength of a force's mage army could determine the strength of a force.
Now, there were a few hundred people here, and there might be over a hundred Archmages, but they were scattered. Even if they stood together, they wouldn't be able to display the might of a mage army.
Under such circumstances, not only would they have to face the Raging Flame Beastmen's army, but they would also have to deal with the other side's powerhouses. They would have no chance of victory.
There was no chance of victory in a frontal battle, but stubbornly defending would buy them some time.
But if they were besieged, they would have no way to survive.
When the time came, reinforcements wouldn't be able to rush over and the Sunset Fort would be seized. The three major forces would inevitably suffer disastrous losses.
The previously constructed Teleportation Gate was already connected to the Radiant Fort, and in order to save time and power, it was a one-way Teleportation Gate. Its purpose was to allow the Radiant Fort's reinforcements to rush over, they simply couldn't leave.
Constructing a new Teleportation Gate would take even more time, and the reinforcements would definitely be from the Cloud Tower or the Black Tower's Holy Land.
This kind of Teleportation Gate that crossed planes would take even more time, and there simply wouldn't be enough time.
By the time the Teleportation Gate was constructed and the reinforcements from the Holy Land arrived, the Sunset Fort would have already been breached a few times.
Hören only talked about the current situation, and everyone understood what they were facing.
A worried expression could be seen on Joy's face. He tapped the table with his finger and slowly said in a deep tone, "Now, we only have one choice, and that is to repel the Raging Flame Beastmen's attack!
"Now, we only have one choice, and that is to repel the Raging Flame Beastmen's attack! The Sunset Fort is too important to the Raging Flame Beastmen, and this is their fastest army to arrive. If we are besieged, their reinforcements will keep increasing, and we can only retreat in defeat. "
Joy's tone was firm, but no one said anything. They were all at their wits' end.
Using a few hundred people to resist the Raging Flame Beastmen's army of ten thousand? And there were also powerhouses within. There was no need to think about it. According to the most ordinary Raging Flame Beastman army, there would be at least a few hundred powerhouses above Level 30!
The number of peak powerhouses might not necessarily be less than theirs, and the most important thing was that there would definitely be Beastman Shamans accompanying the army of over ten thousand people, and there might even be Priests.
