Chapter 1291: The Central Decisive Battle
A wizarding war between the Denel family and the Crimson family loomed behind the shadow of so many wizarding families involved, and the flavor of it was naturally only something that Grim could fully taste.
In the eyes of Gargamel, Meryl and others, this is just the inevitable suppression and hostility of the inherent forces in the central part of the continent to the emerging forces. But in Grim's eyes, what he saw was a 'change' in the old power structure of the entire wizarding world.
Different realms lead to different things and levels of view!
The middle of the continent has been silent for too long.
With such a huge land resources, population resources, and a complete wizard inheritance, it can only exist as a second-rate wizard force that is suppressed by the three major wizarding organizations. Such an identity and status obviously cannot be compared with the huge volume in the middle of the continent.
There are external factors to this: none of the three wizarding organizations wants another competitor to compete with them for resources...... There are also internal factors: the inherent forces in the middle of the continent are still dominated by loose and independent wizard families, and they do not want too powerful organizations to infringe on their interests......
The inside and outside are intertwined, and only then has the strange existence of Tallinn, a scattered land in the middle of the continent, been formed!
And the appearance of Grim and the Crimson family undoubtedly leveraged the ruling structure of Scattered Tallinn, making them all extremely nervous. Of course, it's too early to say that the Crimson family has broken the structure of Scattered Tallinn.
However, the appearance of Crimson does mean that the first brick has been sucked from under the foundations of Scattered Tallinn. As long as you continue along this path, the disintegration of scattered Tallinn is a matter of time!
Grim saw this very clearly, and those 4th-order old guys also saw it very clearly!
Originally, Grim was mentally prepared to start a war with all the scattered Tallinn wizard families. But now it seems that these old guys are still too conservative, and only put out a Clara witch to fight themselves in the ring.
And they themselves are huddled behind the scenes, wanting to take out the unstable factor of Grim, but they don't want their family power to suffer too serious a blow. With such a forward-looking future, such a rat head at both ends, it is no wonder that the central part of the continent has been a group of dragons without a leader for thousands of years, and the sand is scattered.
In fact, before deciding to establish the Horton School of Witchcraft, Grim had already anticipated and planned for the complete rout of the Crimson family. He was still young and could afford to lose.
Besides, the most important thing for the Crimson family is not those secular territories, not those resource points, nor the hundreds of family wizards...... It's a high-level wizard who can speak his mind.
Even if the existing inheritance of the Crimson family is swept away by the enemy, even if there is not a single wizard and apprentice of the Crimson family. As long as Grim chooses to retreat to the Flame Throne and retreat for a hundred years, the enemy will not be able to help him.
Grim, Mary, Alice, Arms...... The existence of the four 4th orders is the strongest guarantee that the Crimson family will not be destroyed!
As long as the few of them remained, no one would be able to destroy the foundation of the Crimson family.
Even if they fail, survive a hundred years, and when those old guys are young, their descendants, their successors, who can stop Grim, who is still young and prosperous?
Grim has countless opportunities for trial and error, and if they go down the path of confronting Crimson, it means that if they fall, they will be doomed forever. With the hatred accumulated by both sides, even if they find a suitable successor, they may not escape the terrible fate of the inheritance being severed and the entire family foundation being uprooted.
This...... It is the most brutal and bloody norm in wizarding wars!
In the eyes of Gargamel, Meryl, Emelia and others, the crimson foundation that needs to be guarded to the death, and the crimson inheritance that lives and dies with them is just a simple bargaining chip for Grim to fight with the enemy.
Hundreds of years of ups and downs and the ups and downs of the family business are acceptable to Grim. As long as the final outcome can be achieved, all the bumps and bumps on the road are nothing more than the madness and struggle of the enemy in front of him who is unwilling to lose.
This is the difference in the realm of consciousness, the level of life and the pattern of life, resulting in different views on the same thing!
However, this is only the worst estimate, judging from the current battle situation, those old guys are still unwilling to devote themselves to the Crimson battle. Otherwise, seven or eight fourth-order wizards and their affiliated forces would unite, and even with Grim's self-confidence, they would have to be mentally prepared to retreat to the vicinity of the Flame Throne to fight guerrillas.
But those old fellows don't dare!
If the Crimson clan fought with all its strength with the attitude of burning jade, it would be more than enough to defeat and annihilate three or four fourth-order forces. So, who of these 4th-order wizards who are in a group want their family and affiliated forces to become victims of the destruction of the Crimson family, and who is willing to rush to the front line of the war?
The Clara witch suddenly made a fight, not so much because she was desperate to find Grim, but because she finally saw the development of the situation in front of her, and wanted to find the most convenient way to stop the bleeding of the Denel family.
She was obviously unwilling to let the Denel family become a bargaining chip for other wizarding families against Crimson, and she was also using this method to force those behind the scenes to come to the forefront.
It is conceivable that three days later, the battle that decided the future fate of the central continent must have been bloody and cruel to the extreme. And before that, it seems that the Crimson family should also try to win over some allies.
…………
Three days later.
Gravel Canyon.
Since the date for the final decisive battle was set, the Denel family forces that had penetrated into the area of Elovis had withdrawn one after another to the vicinity of the Gravel Canyon.
Here, they set up a solid camp, erected tall fortifications, and hurried to repair one makeshift witchcraft facility after another.
It is a three-story building with a diameter of ten meters and a circular tower, with hidden shooting ports and lookouts on the towers, which can squeeze up to ten wizards.
With these temporary war witch towers, the wizards hiding inside will have the protection of a powerful witch circle, and they can also use the attack witch circle inside the witch tower to increase their attack power.
Such war towers are all temporary and belong to one-time use witchcraft facilities. However, the sorcery materials and resources consumed to build them are not much less than those of the official Witch Tower, so they are not people who have too many resources to use at all, and they are not willing to use the War Witch Tower so extravagantly.
The base cost of a lowest-level wizard tower is only 200,000 magic crystals, and such a temporary war witch tower needs 150,000 magic crystals to build one.
But in order to save the family's final face, on the front side of the gravel canyon alone, the Denel family built thirty in one go.
And the War Witch Towers alone can't do it, after all, they are only for defense.
As a result, the Denel family directly filled the Witch Tower with a staggering number of wizard troops. Most of these members are apprentices of wizards, but with special equipment and bizarre combat skills, they have attack power comparable to that of full-fledged wizards.
Their existence makes up for the lack of formal wizards, and also makes the wizard family's methods of warfare varied and unpredictable.
At the front of the Witch Tower, the Denel family drove in tens of thousands of powerful witch beasts and asked them to serve as cannon fodder in this war.
With such an adequate arrangement, the Clara witch was a little relieved, and she was safely perched in the Gravel Canyon Fortress, silently waiting for the arrival of the Crimson Family.
On her side, there stood Fred, the president of the Scattered Tallinn Association, the vice president Mirva, the elder Nicholas, the elder Matthew, the elder Fabres, and the patriarch of the Gaia family, Monash Gaia, who was known as the strongest wizard in the central region......
It can be said that the entire central part of the continent has had friction with the Crimson family, and almost all the fourth-order wizards who have had grudges are here. As for the rest, they either hide nearby and watch the situation develop, or they are really not interested in power and live in seclusion and ignore what is happening outside the window.
Moreover, in addition to the wizards in the middle of the continent, the three major wizarding organizations belonging to different regions also sent corresponding observers to silently observe the future trend of the central continent.
Of course, when the situation is developing in an 'unfavorable' direction, it cannot be ruled out that they will take the opportunity to intervene. There is no need for thousands of troops, no need for massive resources, as long as one or two super power-level guys appear on the battlefield, it is impossible for the whole situation to deviate from their pre-planned travel route.
To put it more bluntly, the contradictions and struggles in the middle of the continent can be intensified to such an extent, it is simply unimaginable to say that without the help of these wizard organizations!
It was just around noon, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust rose on the horizon at the end of the world.
A mighty army of magical weapons rushed forward like a steel dragon in the direction of the gravel canyon.
At the forefront were a hundred goblin chariots with the title of Pioneer of Steel.
They have long since moved away from the steam power of the past and are now powered by magical energy, so they don't have the trademark steaming white gas. A hundred chariots roared in, stopped two thousand meters from the enemy's front line, raised their bodies horizontally, propped up their brackets, and swirled the turrets on top, instantly creating a great wall of steel that stretched for nearly three miles.
Behind them was a vast legion of pure steel magic.
In the sky, ten floating giant ships flew in a line.
Each of them was the size of a small city, surrounded by terrifying muzzles of black holes, and their silver metal shells shimmered in the bright light of the sky.
On the ground, there was an army of neat metal magic weapons numbering nearly 10,000. Each of them is more than 3 meters long, with a hard shell made of all-metal, and terrifying magic cannons or ray guns mounted on their shoulders, chests, and arms.
As they marched forward in unison steps, the whole earth seemed to tremble and pulsate with them......
