Lin, who was slumped on the ground, was also listening intently. At this point, he heard an important point and asked, "You mean there are already demons trying to open the door on the other side?"
"That's right. That's why I said it's impossible to close the door. If this spatial crack didn't attract anyone's attention in the beginning, it would be able to solve the problem by quickly repairing it. But when the spatial crack has attracted the attention of the demons on the other side and they start to exert force to connect the two worlds, the price paid on this side is more than ten times or a hundred times. Most importantly, doing this will only delay the opening of the Gate of the Abyss. As long as the demons on the other side don't stop, there's no way to end it. "
"What evidence do you have to prove it?" Lin asked, unwilling to give up.
"Didn't you already see that little horned demon and the ones you brought back with the Giant Palm Spell? They were the frontline guys. Maybe they don't think so themselves. But without some great demons deliberately going easy on them and casting spells to protect them, how could they pass through the spatial crack in the early stages? "
Remembering that he had ruled the Lost Land for more than two hundred years, he was quite knowledgeable. Lin asked, "You've encountered this before?"
"Of course, it's not common. Most of the time, I open the door and go to the other side. Some magic materials can't be found on this side of the Lost Land, so I have to go to other planes to find them. "
"Then how do you deal with those who open the door to pick a fight?"
"Prepare the army and wait for the other side to attack. No matter how many demons come, just push them back. Only when the demon army on the other side of the Abyss that is guarding the spatial crack will there be a chance to close the Gate of the Abyss from the other side. But usually, some people will have to be sacrificed and stay on the other side until the spatial crack is completely stabilized. "
"Is there no way to not fight?"
"You mean surrender. That's fine, but you have to be mentally prepared to serve demons. If they're in a bad mood, they can kill a few humans without any problem. Surrendering doesn't mean that their lives are guaranteed.
Things seemed to be very bad. The two girls worriedly pestered Fen, the Lich, the former Demon King, for some naive ideas. It could only be said that she was indeed a twelve-year-old girl. She used to tell them stories about burning the forest and drowning the seven armies around the bonfire. Now, she even brought it out. It didn't matter whether it was reasonable or not, or whether it was possible to use it.
On the other hand, a certain man who had calmed down was thinking about all sorts of possibilities. This kind of seemingly dead-end situation usually had a glimmer of hope. Nothing was completely unsolvable and unbreakable. Just like in the history of Europe on Earth, there was an old joke that could not be untied. Alexander had slashed with a sword, and so had Caesar. It was as if every famous person had slashed before.
No matter who cut the knot, the meaning was the same. It meant that there was a way to solve any problem, as long as one could jump out of their preexisting thinking. Take that dead knot as an example. Don't always think about how to find the end of the thread and how to untie it. With one slash of the sword, the rope would break and the knot would cease to exist.
Similarly, in this incident of the Gate of the Abyss, Marco Lin had no confidence at all in dealing with the army of demons that came from afar. Even if he had two more incompetent apprentices and a Lich who should be very good at fighting. But with four people and a Magic Tower, Marco Lin had no confidence at all in facing thousands of soldiers and horses.
And he himself also understood that in this matter, he was not completely innocent and was implicated. Thinking about how many Mages and Great Mages had died in his hands, their families could not say a word until now, but it did not mean that they would not say a word in the future. Perhaps this Gate to the Abyss was a gift from these people's families to the Tower of the Great Sage.
It had to be said that this method of hindering them really hit Lin's vital point. Marco Lin had no confidence at all in dealing with the endless army of demons after the transformation of the Tower of the Great Sage. Although he had experience dealing with human armies before, it was only a mixed army.
Whether the army of demons would be worse or stronger, he did not know. What was certain was that there would be a lot more of them, and the individual strength of demons was far above the average level of humans. In a situation where both sides had the same number of demons, the human army would not be enough to deal with a wave of demons. Not to mention that the enemy had endless reinforcements …
There seemed to be an idea. Lin came to the console and pulled up the webpage of the mail. He decided to use the ultimate move of the Huanzhu Tower's Shushan School.
Seeing her teacher's actions, the worried Halumi asked, "Teacher, what are you doing now? Are you going to the forum to ask if there is a solution? "
"Of course not, isn't it too late to ask for a solution now?"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"If I want to vent my anger on the young, I can only ask the old to come out and take the bullet. Of course, this is to call for reinforcements. If the Gate of the Abyss was really opened, the Tower of the Great Sage would bear the brunt of it. But could it be that only the Tower of the Great Sage would be unlucky? Of course not. When demons came to the Main Plane, how could they just snatch a tower and go home? They would definitely wreak havoc for as long as they could. Since we are all in the same boat, the Tower of the Great Sage will be at the forefront, and others can't think of not contributing. If I fall, who will be next? "
"So?" Kaya tilted her head and asked, which was rare of her.
"So I'm writing to President Eton now and telling him about the situation here. Such a big matter as the Abyss invasion is not something the few of us can handle, so if we don't ask those big shots to come out, do we have to wait until things get out of hand before we tell others? Wouldn't it be too late by then? "
The two apprentices also agreed with their teacher's words, and their originally anxious hearts calmed down a little. Fen, on the other hand, had an indifferent attitude, neither supporting nor stopping it, it was more like it had nothing to do with her.
To her, when she went to war with the Abyss in the past, she had at least a million subordinates under her command, and it was a battle of attrition. Anyway, for her at that time, no matter how many of her subordinates died, she would not feel bad.
Of course, there were times when he opened a Gate of the Abyss alone, but he usually did it in secret. He would do something, take something, and then sneak back. Of course, she did it so secretly mainly because she was afraid of trouble, not because she was afraid of fighting.
She had been discovered before, and she just killed her way out. She really had never been afraid.
Now that she encountered this right after she was resurrected, Fen could not help but be a little eager to try. For her, the worst-case scenario was to save one, two, or three people and escape this place. She was still able to do such a small thing.
Of course, the main reason she had such an idea was that she only considered her own combat strength and did not take into account the factor of the Magic Tower. Although a certain someone had added many functions to the strategic light bullet attack array of the Tower of the Great Sage, and Fen could completely distinguish them.
However, she was still limited by her past experience and could not understand how much the attack power of the Magic Tower would change after adding those programs. At most, there would be some more variable modes, and they could fire continuously. That was all.
And Lin did not demonstrate this improved attack mode to her and its full power. On one hand, a certain woman did not make such a request. If he deliberately did it, it would make him seem like he was showing off, and Lin could not be bothered to do such behavior. It was his nature to be inwardly flirtatious and lustful.
On the other hand, there was no target to test. Up until now, this attack mode still could not be used with blanks. If he wanted to test it, he could only use the internal program to simulate it. Therefore, those few times of actual combat experience were valuable experiences for a certain someone.
As for the Tower Master himself, he himself was also puzzled as to how the Tower of the Great Sage was evaluated after the modifications. Perhaps he had repelled a few waves of enemy attacks, but this time, the opponents were not weak humans, not vampires who died in the light, and not dark elves who were afraid of light. He did not dare to guarantee that he could achieve the same results against the demons.
Even if there was an additional Lich in the tower today, in the face of an endless demon army, he did not have much confidence in this former demon king who had once controlled millions of people. Not to mention, he had never asked Fen about the battle. To put it simply, for this Lich, whether or not he could fight, Lin's knowledge only came from those pillow stories or legends. Could he fight? How good could he fight? However, Lin Fan was completely clueless.
Let's see if the Lich can fight? Let's blast her with light bullets. At the same time, let a certain old bastard personally experience the power of a strategic-level spell that had been programmed and improved? This rotten idea sounded wonderful at first, but it was actually bullshit. There were too many uncontrollable factors, and it felt like the possibility of a misfire was very high. If things went out of hand, who could he complain to?
Besides, Lin had always been used to relying on himself, and the others were just extra. If he placed all his hopes on others, there would only be one possibility, and that was that he did not care whether things succeeded or not. Obviously, his life was not included in this situation. This had nothing to do with trust, it was purely personality.
Therefore, in the matter of the Abyss invasion, Lin had never thought of using the Lich as the main force. He only considered the factors that he could control. And if he dragged the president of the branch of the Society of Sorcerers into the water, he could also bring in the forces of a district, or even the other three districts in the southwest peninsula. If there were more people, when things went wrong, the chances of him escaping would also be higher.
In the end, Lin still did not trust the great power of individuals in the Maze World. Strength in numbers was something he firmly believed in since he was young. Even in this world of Mystics, he, who had been rolling around at the bottom, had never truly seen the top power of the Maze World, so he subconsciously still used the same method as on Earth.
It was not one Ye Wen fighting ten people, but ten gangsters fighting one person. The latter was the norm in society, and the former was just a movie theme. Although every man had a Ye Wen Meng.
