The Magicians of the Sika District and the Cartier District stood on two sides, one after another, supporting their magic. Although they didn't have their usual weapons in hand, they still placed them in a suitable position. Once they made a move, they would be able to pull them out.
The other forces retreated to the corners to avoid being affected. But everyone kept a distance from the people of the Cartier District, which could be regarded as expressing their opinions in a veiled manner.
After all, it was an unforgivable crime of summoning demons and opening the Gate of the Abyss. The evidence now pointed to the identity of the conspirator of the Cartier District's branch chairman. Regardless of whether these accusations were true or not, no one was willing to support chairman Gregory Otto unless he could provide other evidence to prove his innocence.
But it seemed that this sir didn't intend to clear his name. Just like the saying, if you can't solve the problem, then you have to deal with the person who raised the problem. Gregory Otto didn't hide his intention to attack. In order to protect his student, Orange Eaton was also facing a formidable enemy.
For Magicians at their level, the first strike was the least to be ignored and the most difficult to guard against, because it was impossible to know what means the opponent would use and who the target would be.
Although Gregory Otto was ready to strike, but Orange Eaton was also an opponent that couldn't be underestimated. Even if his first strike was successful, but he didn't dare to say that he was sure to win against the expected counterattack. Therefore, he first said to Chuck Weiss: "Young man, take back your false accusations, and maybe I can spare your life."
Chuck Weiss, however, said disdainfully: "You think …" It was too late to say, but in the blink of an eye, Gregory Otto, covered in a magical aura, attacked at lightning speed. The previous words were actually just a diversion tactic. "… Where are you?"
In just a snap of a finger, Chuck Weiss didn't show any panic, and didn't care about the chairman who bypassed his teacher and attacked. He just looked coldly at the beam of light shooting down from the ceiling of the Tower of the Great Sage's core room, and in a clockwise whirlpool trajectory, penetrated the back of a long-established Great Magician and dismembered his body.
Death was so sudden. It was so fast that even the sorcerers of the Cartier branch didn't have time to react. Their teacher, their president, died in front of them. Moreover, it was precisely because they were a step too slow that the result was already decided. Instead, no one dared to make any moves.
Only then did they realize the meaning of Chuck Weiss's words. They were in someone else's tower, and it was an infamous magic tower. The Tower of the Great Sage had the power to control life and death, but the power displayed by the Tower of the Great Sage was simply unfathomable. In such a dangerous place, turning hostile was no different from courting death.
The bad mood and sense of crisis made the sorcerers of the Leon District and the Nonan District realize the situation they were in.
What kind of position was a president?
Perhaps the strongest magician in any branch would not necessarily be interested in the position of president of a branch. However, the person who was able to sit on this chair was bound to be the strongest among those who were interested.
Today, the representative of the strongest in the Cartier branch, president Gregory Otto, didn't even have the slightest ability to resist. Even the slightest bit of defensive magic didn't work. Just like that, he lost his life. Such a reality made all the mages who were confident in their abilities feel a little sad for the loss of the rabbit.
If such an attack had been directed at him, would the outcome have been any different?
No …
"Hey, hey, look, look, the situation outside has changed again. It doesn't look good. "
The one who broke the silence was the student of president Jose Carlos of the Leon District branch, the most famous young magician in the Southwest Peninsula – Juan Javier.
Outside the tower, ten minutes ago.
Located in the center of the second line of defense in the east was the DCXLVI (646) temple warriors led by Queen Yulia III and the MCC (1200) soldiers of the Kingdom of Falkland. And just by the gathering of more than 600 temple warriors from various gods' churches, it could be said that this place was the strongest force besides the sorcerer alliance of the four branches.
And this title of being the strongest was also reflected in their discipline. Although they were a temporary team formed by the warriors of the Divine Palace from all over the world, they had long been accustomed to discipline and order. After confirming the status of superiors and subordinates, everyone understood that obedience was the only way to protect themselves and achieve victory.
So long before the war, they were fully armed, organized, and fully prepared to meet the demons. Except for the officers who led the team on horses, the rest stood close to each other like iron towers, weapons and shields on the ground, ready to fight at any time.
The MCC (1200) ordinary soldiers at the rear were, after all, the country of Yulia III. They came here to support under her instructions, and this group of people was also considered the direct army of the royal family. Therefore, the chief of temple warriors and the queen didn't leave these soldiers to fend for themselves in the upcoming cruel battle. Instead, she brought them with her. After the war, they were responsible for guarding the flanks of the temple warriors, which could be regarded as playing their role.
When the news came from the front that the demons had begun to descend on this land, everyone was alert and paid attention to the back of the sorcerer alliance of the Sijia district not far ahead. Whether it was a battle or a situation where the sorcerers were defeated, they could get a glimpse of the situation from the back of the frontline.
At the same time, the strategic magic of the Tower of the Great Sage began to operate. The improved Light Bullet Attack Formation attacked the invading Evil Demons at a steady pace.
Although Yulia III had experienced the baptism of the strategic magic of the Tower of the Great Sage, she had never seen the attack of the magic tower with her own eyes. So before the battle with the demons officially began, she, who was riding on a horse, looked curiously at the top of the tower, which was the place where the attack was launched.
Although the first stage of the light bullet attack array was also threatening, it was not beyond the common understanding of the maze world. So Yulia III, who was watching, was still wondering how such an attack could defeat Marquis Neumann and the nobles led by him.
Before the queen could find a reasonable answer for this situation, she saw the attack pattern of the tower suddenly change. The six light bullet attack arrays worked together and increased the firing speed to the limit. The attack speed of around two thousand shots per minute should be enough to stop the demons' attack.
However, this change, as well as the fact that a small wave of light bullets didn't hit the spatial rift but instead flew slightly north, made Yulia III feel a little uneasy. She pointed at the only Frankian soldiers beside her, who were all mounted on horses, and pointed at the direction above her head. Then, she pointed to the northwest. The soldiers understood immediately.
These soldiers would be by the queen's side. They were not used to fight, but to carry out the duties of passing orders and other miscellaneous tasks. For example, they set up a siege ladder with four ropes tied to the top. The four people below tightened and fixed it, making it into a simple watchtower. The thinnest soldier nimbly climbed to the top of the ladder and looked in the direction indicated by the Queen.
"Your Majesty," the soldier shouted from the top of the ladder, "the sorcerer alliance in the north has disappeared."
It was a strange report, but Yulia III still tried to think of various possibilities. That was why an army had 'disappeared'. On the other hand, one of her maidservants, who was also a member of her squad in the church, shouted fiercely, "What do you mean 'disappeared'? Look clearly."
"They really are gone. The entire northern defence line is empty. There's not a single person. "
"What about the demons? Did they attack the north and kill the sorcerers? "
"Probably not. The demons are still suppressed by the offensive spells of the Tower of the Great Sage. They didn't fight with any of the defence lines. And the northern defence line looks as good as before. It's just that there's no one there. "
"Damn it, what's going on?" Yuxiang cursed and kicked the ground uneasily. At the same time, the commanders of the paladins and the nobles who led the soldiers in the rear came as representatives and gathered beside the queen.
Gesturing for them to stop asking questions, Yulia III asked the soldiers on the lookout personally, "What's the situation of the second and third defence lines in the north? Has there been any chaos? "
"Your Majesty, it doesn't seem like there's much movement. They should still be guarding their original positions. "
The old knight loyal to the royal family suggested, "Your Majesty, should we retreat the defence line a little?"
"Retreat? Why? "Yulia III asked in return.
The old knight said, "That sorcerer alliance is gone. No matter what the reason is, the gap in the defence line will definitely be broken by the demons, which will cause even greater chaos. At that time, we may not be able to leave even if we want to. So retreat a little now. If we want to leave when the time comes, we won't be delayed by the chaotic situation, Your Majesty. "
"Mm ~, rejected." Yulia III refused readily. She looked at the white-haired old knight and said, "Without the commander's instructions, if we retreat based on this information, we will become a laughingstock. Don't worry, just do what we can do. If it's really time to retreat, I also guarantee that most of you will be able to return alive. "
"Your Majesty!" The old knight seemed to still want to make a little struggle. But Yulia III waved her hand and no longer looked at this subordinate. The matter was decided.
The other commanders of the paladins rode their horses and came to the side of the paladins. "Your Majesty, should we push the defence line a little forward so that we can support the sorcerer alliance in time?"
"First of all, they didn't ask for support. If we go forward without permission, the most likely situation is that we will be beaten up as well. At least I will do that. Secondly, with the strategic magic of the Tower of the Great Sage holding the line, the demons will be suppressed for the time being. It won't be a problem, but this situation won't last long. Other than the fact that some special individuals in the demon army are indeed stronger than humans, the most frightening thing about them is their numbers. When the magic tower's attack is at full capacity, it will be our turn. I think the chaos in the north is inevitable, but at least we have to stabilize. "
