Tang Shidao and the others were about to set off for Nightmare Forest when they received unexpected news.
The mayor of Thunder Rhino City sent someone to invite them, saying that there was something urgent to discuss.
Tang Shidao and Tiger Shadow weren't familiar with this city, so they could only leave it to Dragon Fang. Dragon Fang nodded and replied to the Tauren messenger, "Since Thunder Rhino said there's something important, we can go. Help us prepare the Subterranean Beasts first. We need to go to the East Ridge Sentry Post later. It'll be faster with the Subterranean Beasts pulling the carriage. "
The Tauren messenger said in a low voice, "Master Dragon Fang, I'm afraid you can't get up so early this time."
Dragon Fang frowned, wondering why the mayor of Thunder Rhino City didn't dare to interfere with his business.
What kind of trouble was this?
"Let's talk to the mayor of Thunder Rhino City first. The soldiers don't know much, so don't make things difficult for them." Tang Shidao saw that Dragon Fang wanted to ask and didn't want to waste time. So he persuaded him, saying that the mayor of Thunder Rhino City was the one who could make the decisions here.
Tiger Shadow also nodded slightly.
To be honest.
He really didn't care about the mayor of the second stop. In the Mage Net, everyone was good to each other. If anyone dared to put on airs, Tiger Shadow wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.
By the time they arrived at the mayor's mansion, almost all the Mage heroes in the city had arrived.
"Master Dragon Fang …"
"Hello, Master Dragon Fang …"
"Long time no see, Master Dragon Fang …"
When Tang Shidao and the others arrived, everyone greeted Dragon Fang endlessly. Their tone was a little fawning. In a place like the Land of Forbidden Magic, equipment was definitely the first survival factor. Who wouldn't want to suck up to an expert like Dragon Fang who was proficient in making armor?
Dragon Fang just nodded slightly, his attitude still not taking these people seriously.
Tang Shidao felt that in addition to being proficient in making armor, Dragon Fang's strength was also one of the reasons why he was confident.
Soon.
The mayor of Thunder Rhino City, who was more than five meters tall, arrived.
He first apologized, "I'm sorry, everyone. Because the matter is urgent, please forgive me for not greeting you well. Let's not talk nonsense and get down to business. I believe everyone knows that Master Dragon Fang is going to Nightmare Forest. Now that things have become complicated, I'm afraid we need to work together. "
Dragon Fang's expression changed. "Thunderrhino, what do you mean? Can't we go to Nightmare Forest with restrictions? "
The Thunder Rhino City Lord hurriedly shook his head. "No, no, no. Of course not. Master Dragon Fang, how could I stop you from doing anything? It's not because of us, but because of a group of mages with unknown origins. They spread the news that you're going to Nightmare Forest. Not only did they invite a group of mages from outside the network, they even passed the news to some intelligent beasts nearby. Now, this has become a group affair. "
Tang Shidao had no choice but to speak up. "City Lord Thunder Rhino, what does this have to do with us? If they want to go, they can go. We will go our own way. "
The Thunder Rhino City Lord smiled bitterly. "Mr. Owl, things aren't that simple. What if I told you that there are more than three hundred thousand mages gathered outside the net, and they are all going to Nightmare Forest? Do you think it has nothing to do with you? "
"Are the Magicians outside the net not friendly to us?" Tang Shidao asked again.
"We're on friendly terms. However, no one would be merciful when it came to treasure hunting. There definitely won't be a fight. Whoever picks up the treasure first will definitely have it. Mr. Owl, this time, things aren't that simple. Some people have already convinced the exotic beasts to join this feast. This is no longer an ordinary treasure hunt, "the Thunder Rhino City Lord explained.
Tang Shidao didn't quite understand.
Tiger Shadow explained, "We are enemies with the exotic beasts, but in terms of 'conquering the environment' and 'developing new territory', we usually cooperate, especially with the smarter exotic beasts. In the Land of Forbidden Magic, there are also some exotic beasts who cooperate with us to make deals. Not every exotic beast hates us. "
Tang Shidao understood.
If a person entered the forest to live, would the rabbits living inside hate the person who came in to snatch their territory? Or would they hate the wolves who kept eating them more?
Only the rabbits themselves knew the answer to this question.
Conquering the environment.
Tang Shidao also understood that Nightmare Forest had become everyone's' public enemy '. Mages, Magicians outside the net, Void Beasts, everyone wanted to get rid of Nightmare Forest. Perhaps it hid a lot of good things, or perhaps it occupied too much land. In short, no one allowed it to continue to exist. In the Magician's Web, many Magicians would first clear Nightmare Forest when they grew up.
"What's the plan?" Dragon Fang hated accidents and only liked to follow the plan step by step.
"The three of us will gather together and then choose ten leaders to form ten armies to enter Nightmare Forest. During this period, the Void Beasts that have temporarily formed an alliance won't attack us. The rest is hard to say. Master Dragon Fang, you're one of the strongest people in Thunder Rhino Fortress. We need you to take a spot, "the Thunder Rhino City Lord sincerely asked for help.
As the City Lord of the war fortress, he wouldn't leave until the city was destroyed.
Once the City Lord took office.
He would immediately obtain a lot of power and resources. Similarly, he would also have to guard the war fortress he belonged to.
Therefore, no matter what happened outside the city, he would need the help of other Magicians.
Dragon Fang turned to look at Tang Shidao and Tiger Shadow.
Tiger Shadow only looked at Tang Shidao.
Tang Shidao was also interested in the Magicians outside the net, so he said, "Okay. Anyway, everyone knows. It doesn't matter if we join forces and make a big fuss. As long as we find what Tiger Shadow needs, this mission won't be in vain. To be honest, I seem to smell a conspiracy. I hope everyone will be careful. "
"Okay." The Magicians nodded.
But they didn't care too much.
When was there no conspiracy in the Land of Forbidden Magic? There were all kinds of races mixed here, all kinds of Beast Soldiers, and some of them were pawns placed by certain forces.
The discussion was over.
The Thunder Rhino City Lord didn't say much. After saying goodbye, the group quickly rushed to the gathering place.
On the other hand.
The Beast Soldier Legion set off early and rushed to the surroundings of Nightmare Forest to guard. There weren't many people who were confident in their own strength to run for the 'leader' position. 'Stars' like the alchemists wouldn't go up. The Magicians couldn't fight too hard. If they fought in this kind of place, they would have to be sent back to revive if they died. They would definitely miss Nightmare Forest.
Therefore, the Magicians were only those with strong physiques who wanted to try.
What was surprising was …
When Tang Shidao and the others arrived at the gathering place, the competition for the quota had already started. Seeing Tang Shidao and the others arrive, everyone present was secretly surprised. The competition had already started. Why was there a group of newcomers joining now? What about the previous results?
On a temporary high platform.
Ten flags.
Ten chairs.
At this time, there were already nine people or beasts sitting on them. Those with large bodies that couldn't sit down also let the clan representatives take a seat, and then they stood behind the flag. Six void beasts, three orcs, and only one chair and one flag left on the high platform.
At this time, the flames of war on the high platform were blazing.
A deer-horned man and an eagle-headed man were fighting fiercely. Both sides fought until they were covered in blood and still didn't stop.
Tang Shidao saw that some of the victors were seriously injured and thought that they would definitely give up their command temporarily. They would heal their injuries first or withdraw directly and let their friends or clansmen take their place. This time, the capture the flag was only competing for the quota of ten leaders. As long as they won, they could let their clansmen take charge.
If everyone scattered into Nightmare Forest, they would definitely be sending themselves to their deaths.
Forming an army was indeed the best way.
However.
This time, before the operation began, the conspiracy was gradually exposed. Before his group arrived, nine out of ten matches had already been played. This was clearly the rhythm of causing trouble.
Before he could finish thinking.
Suddenly.
On the high platform, the deer-horned man's brute force increased greatly. He knocked the eagle-headed man off the platform and laughed: "Hahahaha … Don't you mages in the network train your bodies? I only used half of my strength just now. I didn't expect you to be so weak. You lost, Mr. Mage. The last flag was won by us mages outside the network. You don't even seem to have a leader. It doesn't matter, just follow me. I will take care of you. "
The eagle-headed man glared at the high platform, clenching his claws.
In terms of physique, he was indeed inferior to the other party.
However.
What was the advantage of mages in the Land of Forbidden Magic? Not physique, not aura, but … Innate spell!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
No matter how angry the eagle-headed man was, he would not expose his innate spell. Some of the spectators were friends of his mage network, and they knew his identity. Once he used his innate spell, it might spread throughout the mage network tomorrow.
He couldn't afford such a price.
At this moment.
Seeing that the mages in the network couldn't even get a spot, the mages in the audience looked gloomy. Some alchemists took half a step forward and thought about it. In a restricted high platform, they really couldn't beat a beast or a warrior with brute force. Although they could use their innate spell to win, no one was willing to do so.
Seeing that the audience was silent.
An old shepherd who was in charge said: "Since the last battle is over, then …"
He didn't finish.
Tang Shidao stepped forward and asked loudly: "Please wait, can I ask a question?"
The old shepherd was surprised: "Of course, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask."
Tang Shidao asked, "I would like to know who is the strongest and who will be the leader, or who will arrive first and who will be the leader?"
The old shepherd was even more surprised: "Of course the strong will be respected, and the winner will be the leader."
Tang Shidao said again: "What if I don't accept the result? We haven't even arrived yet, but they've already won. Can this be considered a true victory? "
The old shepherd's expression changed slightly, but he wasn't angry: "Mage, if you were confident in getting a spot, you should've come earlier. Now that everyone has participated in the competition, they're all injured and exhausted, it's not fair for them to go on stage again. Besides, if we keep challenging them like this, we'll never be able to choose a leader. "
Tang Shidao was very calm: "So, who arrived first will get a spot?"
The old shepherd angrily shook his head: "Of course not, this is the result of the competition. Don't be unreasonable."
Tang Shidao smiled.
