In the Tower of the Great Sage, the preparations for the war against the abyss were in full swing.
The first wave of the Sorcerer Alliance in the Sika District was almost ready. The D Sorcerers (500 people) were divided into V (5) columns and several special teams according to the wartime regulations. They began to arrange their own tasks and familiarize themselves with each other. This was to avoid chaos when the war started.
But the preparation for the abyss was far more than that. The first foreign aid to arrive was the CCC soldiers (300 people) sent by Queen Yulia III from the Kingdom of Franks. At the same time, they informed everyone that they would personally lead several teams of warriors from the mysterious church to participate in the war when the war was about to start.
This kind of war between planes was not the business of any single force. If because the abyss gate was opened near the magic tower, other people were not willing to send troops to help. When the first line of defense was broken through, who could guarantee that the demon forces would not spread to their homeland?
It was the consensus of the world to block as much as possible at the front line. Not to mention that the Tower of the Great Sage now had plenty of time for the human side to prepare. If they gave up such an advantage, it could only be said that they were not qualified to be the leader of a force. So from all over the southwest peninsula, reinforcements from big and small nobles kept coming.
There were also some adventurers and mercenaries who did not belong to any country's army. They also spontaneously came to the Tower of the Great Sage. Under the leadership of a few more famous warriors, they organized a volunteer army.
Of course, in the southwest peninsula, other than the Sika District, the three branches of the Society of Sorcerers would also not be absent from this war. The first to arrive, surprisingly, was the airship from the Leon District. A ship of elite magic arrived, and the Tower of the Great Sage was full of cheers everywhere.
As a powerful weapon of war in the maze world, second only to the magic tower, the appearance of the airship was extremely encouraging. And the magic tower did not have legs, so the Sorcerers could not carry it. Compared to the freedom of the airship and the lack of anti-air means in this era, in the hearts of many people, the airship was far more threatening than the magic tower.
Moreover, the president of the Leon District branch of the Society of Sorcerers, Jose Carlos, who came with the airship, personally confirmed that the coalition of the Leon District had been organized and was heading toward the Tower of the Great Sage. This news was much better than the verbal support of some great nobles in some countries on the forum.
The second to arrive was the coalition of the Noran District branch of the Sorcerers, which was closer to the Tower of the Great Sage. The same D (500), V (5) columns, and several special teams. Their elite level was not inferior to the Sorcerers of the Sika District at all.
After all, in this impending war, it was meaningless to compete with the demons on which side had more cannon fodder and who was more unafraid of death. In the shortest amount of time, gathering the greatest amount of power to beat back the enemy and close the Abyss Gate was the most correct approach.
The Tower and the Sorcerers and Sorcerers and Sorcerers and Sorcerers... The warriors and mages who were used to fighting were practicing the most efficient battle formation to gather everyone's strength, but no one was in a good mood at all. Because the crack in the sky was clearly visible. If it wasn't still unstable and constantly changing shape, the army gathered on the opposite side might have already invaded.
But the volcanic terrain that appeared from time to time through the crack and the dim yellow sky only made people feel more and more depressed. And the fact was, the atmosphere of this big camp seemed to be lively, but if you felt it carefully, you would find that everyone's spirit was tense to the extreme.
Maybe they would fight directly. In the flames of war, everyone would not have the leisure to think about it. Unfortunately, the demons had not officially appeared yet. Everyone could only wait. They could only train themselves until they did not have the strength to think about other things. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. No matter how tired people were, they would still be worried.
After all, the last war against the Abyss was a hundred years ago. The tragedy of that war and the number of casualties still made the local residents feel lingering fear. And all kinds of tragic stories were spread on the Maze Continent.
Compared to the oppressive atmosphere outside the tower, the feeling inside the tower was completely different. There were Mages standing in every corner. Some were white-bearded old seniors, and some were fair-skinned young men. They were all focused and carefully studying the circuits of the Magic Tower in front of everyone.
Some people were copying, some were counting, some were arguing about the purpose of putting the two runes together, and some were at a loss about what to do with what they were seeing.
But it was meaningless to just look at the magic circuits of the Tower of the Great Sage that had been changed beyond recognition. It also had to be combined with the program stored in the energy pool that could control everything in front of the control panel to show the complete appearance of the tower.
Of course, at the beginning of the modification, Marco Lin had made the program a program, and the functions of the large circuit board of the Magic Tower belonged to the circuit board design. But he had never thought of letting these two things exist alone. Combining them together and cooperating with each other, he could use more convenient methods to achieve better results. So why did he have to torture himself with a more backward design concept?
And this kind of thinking caused the pain of this group of Mages. It was easy to understand the existence of the energy circuits all over the tower alone, but no one could say how to make them become a whole.
If the original owner of the tower was still here, and someone asked, he would have said without reservation that all the magic arrays would not be activated at the same time. Everything was operated selectively by the program, and that was it.
Unfortunately, that person was not here, and no one asked such a question. So the group of people who schemed to seize the tower could only be said to have swallowed the bitter fruit. They could only rely on themselves for everything.
And so much effort to study the Magic Tower was actually the biggest reason for the ship of Mages to come here from thousands of miles away.
In the name of war, they openly entered the Magic Tower that was regarded as the core by others. Then, they used the reason of sharing magic knowledge to let the current owner of the tower open the energy channels of the entire tower for everyone to study to their hearts' content. This kind of behavior was something that would not be done normally.
Then, did Chuck Weiss, the current owner of the Tower of the Great Sage, want to protect the mysteries of the Tower of the Great Sage from the prying eyes of others? To be honest, he himself did not understand the various aspects of this tower. When President Jose Carlos personally came to pressure him, he was the disciple of the president's teacher. He just went with the flow and asked for a share of the research results.
And the answer to the question that everyone wanted to know was the maximum range of protection that the Tower of the Great Sage could provide when paired with the Arcane Eye.
On the night that the original owner of the tower left, there was an attack far away in the sky. The traces of the light bullets flying into the distance were seen by many people. Then, more than a hundred people attacked the carriages of the Society of Sorcerers and were killed by the light bullets flying from the sky. This news also spread quickly on the forum.
This was far from the limit of the Arcane Eye. The problem was, when the two spells were paired together, could each be 100% effective? Or would there be growth or decline due to the pairing?
How could they test it?
Realistically speaking, they could only test it with human lives.
Then … whose lives?
This was the reason why after the first day of the attack, the original owner of the tower did not encounter any other attacks on his return journey to Wulian City. Even the mountain bandits and bandits hid far away. They did not even want to look at the carriages.
Before figuring out the limit of the detection range of the Arcane Eye, the maximum range of protection that the Tower of the Great Sage could provide, and the conditions for the magic tower to launch an automatic attack, all the people with bad intentions gave up. It was one thing to target someone because of their own interests, but it was another thing to have to pay with their lives.
In addition to the people studying the energy circuit of the tower, there was a row of mages sitting next to the control panel of the nuclear room. In front of them was a magic screen. On the screen was a large amount of words that did not conform to the common spoken language. They were trying to analyze the program in the magic tower. Not only did they want to be able to understand it, but they also wanted to improve it. As for what they wanted to improve, it was not for outsiders to know.
This work had begun from the moment Chuck Weiss entered the Tower of the Great Sage. Until now, it had been nearly a month, but there was no progress.
There were several times when Chuck Weiss had the impulse to take out the Stone of Removal and destroy this ghost tower that he could not understand. There were also several times when he wanted to recall the original owner of the tower and return this tower that he could not understand to the other party. The condition was that he had to stand on the front line against the demons.
Unfortunately, both of these things were not allowed.
And under so much pressure and criticism from the outside world, Chuck Weiss's position as the owner of the tower was still as stable as Mount Tai. It was not all thanks to his teacher, the president. It was because the atmosphere outside the tower had reached a critical point. Even if someone shouted, it could cause a riot. Under such an atmosphere, Chuck Weiss was still sitting in that position. It was more like a reserve ready to take the blame in the future.
Chuck Weiss understood these reasons. But there was no better way. So he simply gave up on understanding what the Tower of the Great Sage was doing and how it would be used before the war. Instead, he put more energy into the arrangement of logistics, as well as the coordination and reorganization of the organizational structure. More importantly, he had to appease the depressed and uneasy people.
In short, to properly manage the people outside the tower, who had exceeded Vbar (5000), required not only talent, but also some reputation. Otherwise, some people who took advantage of their seniority would not pay attention to someone who was younger and had less experience than them.
His teacher, the president, was of course famous enough, but when it came to himself, even if he had the title of a great mage, there were always voices of dissatisfaction. How to appease these people also gave Chuck Weiss a headache. And the number of people gathered here was still increasing. It was inevitable that some of them had personal grudges with each other. These people were even more difficult to deal with.
Although his days were busy, for Chuck Weiss, at least this was something that he could understand. And he had already given up on the secret of the tower.
