Chapter 169: Legendary Mage
The green-robed mage shrugged his shoulders and did not refute this, he tapped the ground lightly with the green staff in his hand, and a small green circle appeared, enveloping the inn around the inn. In the blink of an eye, everything around him was no longer messy, and the dead shopkeeper was lying at the door of the inn, his facial expression was very serene, not at all like a frightened person.
"Those who see him tomorrow will think that he died of heart failure, and no one will find out, unless the coroner is a legendary mage like us, even the sword of the king is helpless. The green-robed mage smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already set up a magic barrier around before the operation, as long as someone breaks in, it will alarm me, and judging from the current situation, the only people who know about this are you and me." β
"Actually, there is no need to kill him, he is just a very ordinary person. "Actually, we only need to use memory magic to erase some of his memories, what do you think, Morton?"
"Rhodes, what is Caragon's order to us?"
"Participate in this Mine Island operation. β
"What else?"
"Bring back the White Philosopher's Stone and the traitor of Caragon, Andorra the White Magician. β
"Looks like you remember. Morton asked, "Rhodes, although you and I are both legendary mages, I want you to speak your mind, do you think you and I alone can bring back Andorra the White Mage?"
Rhodes shook his head, very resolute, "Impossible, even if the remaining six legendary mages attack together, they are not Andorra's opponents, as long as he wants to leave, no one can stop him." The White Magic Stone is another Holy Spring, how can we be the opponent of the Holy Spring?"
"Remember the order Queen Matsudaira gave us?" asked Morton.
"Kill everyone who knows Andorra's whereabouts. β
"You should understand what we're supposed to do by now, right?"
Rhodes nodded, but asked again, "There is another point that I wonder, is this the will of the queen or the will of Calagon?"
Morton said slowly: "Calagon's will will always be the White Philosopher's Stone, and we have to be loyal to the king, this should not need me to explain it anymore!"
"Got it, so what do we do next?"
"Get out of here, do what we have to do, and assemble in Maple Leaf Harbor, Operation Thunder Island has begun. β
After Morton finished speaking, a small magic circle immediately appeared under the feet of the two, and he chanted a few incantations, and everything around him began to change. From beginning to end, he didn't look at the shopkeeper, as if all this had nothing to do with him, even though he killed the shopkeeper.
Before leaving, Rhodes glanced at the shopkeeper who was leaning against the door of the inn he had run for ten years, and his expression was serene, as if he had fallen asleep. Rhodes sighed, and in the next moment, they were in Port One.
[23:47 p.m. on December 14, 478 of the Second Holy Alliance]
In less than an hour and a half, the 200,000 troops of the Dragon Kingdom had all disembarked and completed the assembly, which surprised the soldiers of the Tree Country, at least what was presented in front of them was a force with no worse military discipline than their own.
After a while, hundreds of giant warships of the Dragon Kingdom left the port one after another and began to return home, their destination was Insonia, the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, and the task of these world's most advanced warships was to transport soldiers from the Dragon Kingdom, just to cross a narrow sea area of the Dragon Sea.
"It's time for the Holy Alliance to end, now that the strength of the Dragon Kingdom has become so strong, even the other six Great Cheng Offensive and Defensive Alliances are not sure of victory. Qiu Fengyang said, "If you want to catch up with the Dragon Kingdom, the Tree Kingdom still has a long way to go-"
The dark battleship lined up in a long line without gaps, heading towards the other end of the sea level, in the moonlight, people could vaguely see the spiritual lantern on the battleship shining faintly, the quiet sea surface was cut again, a huge hole was torn open, and the surrounding sea water continued to pour into it, such a scene was very shocking.
From the time the warship left the port to the time it disappeared from everyone's sight, it took nearly half an hour in total. Then, something seemed to be missing from the huge port, there was no direct communication between the armies of the Dragon Kingdom and the Tree Country, everyone was just you looking at me and I was looking at you. Although the people of the Dragon Kingdom were proud, there was no friction between the two sides, and both sides followed the orders given by the commander to stand by.
"General Wind Chime, the armies of the Dragon Kingdom and the Tree Kingdom are both very good armies, you should have the same opinion as me on this!" Ba Wen said with a smile from the command room on the high place, overlooking the entire No. 1 port from the side, "In my opinion, the most disciplined armies of the Holy Alliance are none other than the Dragon Kingdom and the Tree Kingdom. β
Feng Chime smiled, "General Bawen, the armies of the Snow Country, the Ning Country, the Beast Country, the Sand Country, and the Fog Country are also the elites of the Alliance, I think they should not be ignored, it is a mistake to ignore the excellent and powerful people. β
There were only five people in the command room, General Bawen, Gu Monroe, General Wind Chime, Hua Ze, and Mu Linsen, as for the other high-ranking officers, they had not yet arrived, and there would only be five people here until the troops were fully assembled.
"General Wind Chime, there is something that surprises and regrets me. β
"Speak. β
"I was expecting to meet the Chief of the Cabinet, Mr. Theodore, who is a respected senior in the Alliance, and according to the Coalition's custom, he should be present for the Thunder Island Gathering Ceremony, but he did not come. β
"Just before the assembly, the three of us had just visited Theodore at the Alliance headquarters, but he was not well and went home early. β
Wind Chime, Hanazawa, and Mu Linsen looked at each other and didn't say anything more.
"Yes, that's a pity, this is the largest military operation in the Holy Alliance's century, and maybe it will be the last. Bawen sat down by the window and said, "The current alliance is not the same alliance as it used to beβwhether this operation is successful or lost, this alliance has changed since the Sand and Fog countries refused to participate in this operation at the cabinet meeting. β
"So we all have to be ready, don't we?" Feng Chime took a sip of a cup of hot tea, and then asked with a smile, "Your Excellency, there are good teas in the army, if you don't mind, you can try them." β
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think so. "It's not too late to drink when the Snow Fleet and the Beast Country troops arrive, I won't be able to eat anything until the whole army is assembled." β
Wind Chime sighed, put the teacup aside, and began to say again: "I didn't expect the Dragon Fleet to leave Port No. 1 so early, I thought I could see more of the heroic appearance of the Armada through the window!"
"After all, this is the port of the Tree Country, and the people of the Dragon Country don't like war, although we are not afraid of war. If you stay here for too long, things will turn into a diplomatic accident, and maybe you will bury ** for two countries. And I don't like war, and I don't want to be a sinner of history. β
"Hahaha-" Wind Chime covered his mouth and smiled, his long hair hanging down on his shoulders very beautifully, "The general is a person who wants to become a hero of the Dragon Kingdom, how can he be a sinner of the Dragon Kingdom?"
"If you are not careful, a hero is a sinner, and if you take a step back, a national sinner can also become a hero of the world. "If a man kills a man, then he is a murderer and will be sentenced to death, if a man kills ten people, this is called heinousness, and it is difficult for him to break up his crimes; if he kills a thousand people, it is the devil of the world, and even the nine tribes are a very light punishment, but if he kills 100,000 people, a million, ten million people, the devil will be the savior, because he saves the living." β
Hua Ze, Mu Linsen, and Gu Monroe were all taken aback, and it was hard to imagine what kind of person this twenty-eight-year-old general was.
"Your Excellency, do you think you have the power to slaughter tens of millions of people?"
Bawen shook his head, "This person is not me, but I don't know if this person exists in the world. If so, then I have good news for you, and this good news is only for the soldiers: we have a war. β
"I hope it won't come one day. Wind Chime smiled.
"No, you hope. β
The wind chime was a little confused, but did not speak.
"General Wind Chime, you and I are the same kind of people, both want wars to spread all over the world, of course you may not be aware now, but one day your true nature will be revealed, remember what I said today. β
"I'll remember. Wind Chimes said.
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, there was almost nothing to say between the five of them, the conversation between Wind Chime and Bawen Hua Ze couldn't interject at all, although he was the inheritor of the tree country, but the two of them at this time represented not only the individual but also the country, Hua Ze had never raised himself to the level of the country, so he thought that his status was not enough. Gu Monroe is a strange person, advocating force, naturally looking down on everyone in the command room, and disdainful of talking to anyone, including Hanazawa, his current opponents are only Qiu Fengyang and Agnes, and the rest are losers. Mu Linsen didn't like to talk, and from the moment he came into contact with Gu Monroe, he had been on guard against the so-called strongest warrior of the Holy Alliance, because he had sworn to the death in the Hall of Wisdom to protect the safety of General Wind Chime.
This atmosphere lasted for a while, and was finally interrupted by Hanazawa's words.
"Here they are!"
Hanazawa said silently with his eyes closed.
"Who?" asked Wind Chime.
Gu Monroe, who looked bored, refreshed himself, not believing that he didn't perceive the 'them' in Hanazawa's mouth.
Just as everyone was looking, two mages wearing spell robes appeared out of nowhere, one green and the other blue. They held staffs of one-and-a-half-height human weight, one green and the other blue.
"Blue-robed mage Rhodes, green-robed mage Morton?" Gu Monroe straightened his back and took a few steps forward and said nonchalantly, "You came earlier than expected. β
