The chaos among the humans continued to spread. At the same time, the ominous big eye condensed at the top of the Magic Tower again.
Since they couldn't fully control the Tower of the Great Sage, Chuck Weiss, the new Tower Master, led the researchers who entered the Tower of the Great Sage agreed to turn off the Arcane Eye's surveillance when it wasn't necessary, even if it could be turned on 24/7 with the support of the Magic Tower's energy pool.
No one knew how many rules the former Tower Master had hidden, so that he could control everything even if he didn't live in the tower. However, this was only under the premise that the Magic Tower could see it, which was when the Arcane Eye was staring at the continent.
No one knew how far the Arcane Eye could see after it was modified by the former Tower Master. Chuck Weiss didn't object to protecting anyone, provided that there was no conflict of interest. However, the connection between the Arcane Eye and the former Tower Master, the feeling that Chuck Weiss couldn't control, was what he hated.
Now, whether it was the vanguard of the demon army that had set foot on the land of the Lost Land, or the rebellion of the Carditz District branch, this ominous object that always brought a lot of killing was finally released from its dusty state by the current Tower Master.
The Arcane Eye, which had just come online, scanned the whole area again. The real scene within CC (200 kilometers) was displayed in the core room on the third floor in the form of a three-dimensional image, which was reduced in size and presented.
The sudden view from God's perspective silenced the four guild leaders who were in the middle of arguing. The Carditz District branch's sorcerer army unexpectedly retreated, and President Gregory Otto, who was staying in the Magic Tower, naturally became the target of the other three presidents' questioning. Moreover, the four grumpy old men all rolled up their sleeves and planned to have an intimate physical conversation.
However, another unexpected turn of events diverted their attention from the argument to Chuck Weiss, who was standing in front of the control panel. And this student of President Eton was not staring at the invading demons on the screen, but at the Carditz District's sorcerer army that was constantly disrupting the defense line and fighting their way out.
Looking at his back, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts. Logically speaking, this XLIII (43 years old) in front of him had long passed the impulsive period and was more tactful in handling matters. However, there was always a limit to a person's emotions. There was also a bottom line to what they could accept. If they broke through the line of reason and collapsed, no one knew what they would do.
So the question was, was President Orange Eaton's proud disciple strong enough to withstand pressure?
Just as this question popped up in his mind, he saw Chuck Wesley land on the ground, grabbing and releasing the images of the retreating Kaditz District Coalition Army D (500 people) into another screen with a completely black background.
"Chuck, what did you do?" President Orange Eaton asked his student in confusion.
"Defecting in front of the enemy, no matter what era or place it is, there is only one outcome." Chuck Weiss turned around and spoke with a cold tone.
"Damn it, what have you done?" Gregory Otto asked angrily. The monitoring screens outside the tower, which were all over the core room, showed an incredible scene.
Outside the tower.
Compared to the giant eyeball forming at the top of the Magic Tower, everyone was more concerned about the demons passing through the gap between the planes. When the first goat-horned demon arrived in the mysterious land, its strength and life level were all superior, so it did not care about the initial feeling of weakness at all. It swung the double-headed greatsword in its hand and roared fiercely at the group of weak humans. In the next instant, countless light bullets hit his face.
In the past records of the crusade, an evil existence at the level of the goat-horned demon could easily destroy a few small nobles and kill everyone in a city. One goat-horned demon could do such a thing, not to mention hundreds of goat-horned demons that were walking out of the Abyss Gate one after another.
However, the Tower of the Great Sage, which had long put abyssal creatures on the blacklist, attacked as soon as it detected a suspected abyssal creature. Without asking and not caring if there was a mistake, when the demon's aura appeared around the Tower of the Great Sage again, the modified light bullet attack automatically launched an attack.
Would one or two light bullets hurt the goat-horned demon?
Actually, it was no different from scratching an itch.
But what about one hundred or two hundred? Even if one or two hundred did not die, what about the three hundred or four hundred that came after?
This was especially true for the power of the Light Bullet. It wasn't constant, but would increase in strength according to the changes in the target's body.
The conclusion was that the goat-horned demon, which could be arrogant elsewhere, appeared in the vicinity of the Tower of the Great Sage, especially under the gaze of the Arcane Eye. It was an almost endless attack. Even a life form as strong as the goat-horned demon died on the spot. Before the crowd's eyes, that robust body became tattered and tattered. And this was only the first demon to walk out of the gap.
Next, some demons from the Abyss walked, some flew, and some had special means, such as jumping, that could cross a distance of more than ten miles (one kilometer). They all used their means and competed to walk out of the gap, arriving in the mysterious land, and then lost their lives …
Demons kept walking out of the gap, but they also kept losing their lives under the attack of the light bullets.
When those who came later saw the tragedy of those who came before, they knew that they had to use all kinds of strange abilities or take defensive positions. Some demons used their invisibility talent and tried to set foot on the land of the mysterious land from different directions. There were also superior demons who grabbed the weak next to them and used them as shields in front of them.
Unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain in the face of the continuous light bullets. And with the Arcane Eye, there would not be any misses or omissions. Even if the demons were invisible or had the talent of teleportation, they would be attacked by the light bullets the moment they appeared.
But it was only the improved version of the Tower of the Great Sage. The first stage of the light bullet attack array could not deal with the endless demon army. There were always some demons who could move forward in the barrage of bullets. The closer they were to the human defense line, the greater the threat they posed. And the direction these demons were moving in was the north, which had fallen into chaos.
The mage alliance in the other three directions could only watch helplessly even if they were fully prepared. The attack range was an obstacle that could not be easily crossed. Even if it was within the range of vision, the further the target was, the more mental power the mage had to spend to control the direction of the magic. It was also because of this that the mages in the mysterious land were keen on melee combat.
But to give up their advantage and go to the north to rescue the chaotic north? That would only expand this terrible situation to the point of no return, and destroy the defensive advantage of the remaining three sides.
Under the command of their leader, the second line of troops blocking the northern corner of the gap raised their shields and spears. In the gaps between the shields, the soldiers watched as the monsters raised their sharp claws or strange-looking clubs and charged at them. Even the veterans had never seen such a battle.
In the tension of worry and fear, the demons charging in front of them were suddenly knocked down by the light bullets just before the tip of the spears. The Tower of the Great Sage, this war fortress, suddenly exerted its strength. As if injected with stimulants, the light bullets flew everywhere. The demons' attacks also paused and were blocked by an even more ferocious magic attack.
This was Chuck Weiss changing the attack mode of the Tower of the Great Sage from the first stage to the third stage. From a single magic array, the firing rate was about 60 to 80 light bullets per minute, to 300 to 400 light bullets in one fell swoop. And instead of a single magic array, all six magic arrays were activated. A full 30 times the attack efficiency, easily harvesting the evil creatures that came to the mysterious land.
But this group of demons was not Chuck Weiss's primary target, the defected Cartier branch alliance was the main target.
At this stage, the goat-horned demons, which were the most durable, had an average of 20 to 30 light bullets, and they were all aimed at the most concentrated energy, which was the strongest and the weakest point. Then, in order to prepare for the upcoming battle, how many attacks could the mages, who had added a full set of auxiliary and defensive measures, withstand? The answer was one, at most two.
Were humans weaker than demons? If this question was looked at on average, the answer was very regrettable. It could only be said that humans were really weaker than demons. Physical strength, arm strength, physique, talent, no matter which aspect, most demons were much stronger than humans, not to mention the demons' natural magic resistance. From another point of view, those who were not strong enough were destined to be annihilated by the demons.
But the spells that mages used were only good at defying the natural order. If their magic resistance was not enough, they could use shields to make up for it. If one was not enough, they could use ten. And mages, who had added a full set of auxiliary and defensive measures, could only withstand two light bullets. It was not that mages were weaker than demons, but it was simply that they were targeted at different problems.
The mainstream battle of mages in the mysterious land was still based on hand-to-hand combat, followed by physical damage caused by elemental types, such as burns from fire, frostbite from ice, and cuts from wind blades. The defensive measures that mages researched were, of course, designed to counter these mainstream attacks.
However, everything that Lin Sheng had modified for the Tower of the Great Sage was based on pure energy, which was different from mainstream attacks, so naturally, only a few percent of the defensive effect was left. This caused most of the mages' shields in the mysterious land to be easily broken by the pure energy light bullets and the laser beams from the tower.
The mages' brittleness, coupled with the unreasonable attacks of the Tower of the Great Sage, resulted in the annihilation of the D (500) mages in the Cartier district before anyone could react. Everyone who saw this couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The mages in any district could do whatever they wanted in the southwest peninsula, and no country could stop them or even cause them any trouble. The only ones who could stand a chance against them were the mages in the other districts. It was just a way of exterminating each other in exchange for a costly victory.
Once upon a time, they had seen the mages die as easily and worthlessly as insects. A few private noble armies that were planning to leave with the Cartier district mages quietly returned to their original positions. They pretended that nothing had happened.
However, there were some people who could not let it go so easily. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but through the surveillance footage, he saw the D (500) disciples under his branch die without any value, dying unjustly. The president of the Cartier district branch, Gregory Otto, was almost mad.
