Koswaite paced in place a little impatiently, the ornate staff in his hand subconsciously tapping on the palm of his other hand, but his face remained calm, and beside him, hundreds of mages and their 'squire' warriors stood silently like statues, and no one made the slightest sound.

This hidden valley located more than ten kilometers south of the mountain where the god of storm is located is the assembly place of the main force of the mage group, as the leader of this team, Koswait's task is to lead the team to attack this mage tower after receiving the news of the destruction of the defense center of the god of storm, according to the original plan, his attack should have started half an hour ago, and until now, this tenth-order mage has not received any information. Stopped, his eyes fixed in the direction of the god of the storm, Kothwait's mouth muttered softly, but no one could hear what he was saying.

A magic gem that was held in the arms of a mage not far from him suddenly lit up at this time, and the colorful light flickered and dimmed, enveloping the surrounding area of a dozen square meters in a strange atmosphere, this long-awaited signal made Koswait's 'spirit' refreshed, he walked quickly to the mage, took the gem used for communication from the other party's hand, and then waved his hand to order the people around him to retreat.

"You're thirty-three minutes later than expected," Koswaite said to the image of Hoss in the gem, "and it seems that the elders have overestimated your abilities, or your guts. ”

Hoss ignored the sarcasm, they had been rivals and rivals since they were apprentices, and they had always had the upper hand in the competition before his magical accident, and after that, the situation was completely different.

"I've already destroyed their defenses," Hoss's voice was low and eager, "but they've spotted me and are attacking now, so I can escape while I'm in chaos." ”

"I'm sorry," Koswaite shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work." He looked directly into the fire-breathing eyes of the other party inside the magic gem, "I'll admit, I've always hated you, but that's not what I meant, in fact, like your men, you've become an outcast." As happy as I would have seen your corpse, I would like to give you a piece of advice: if you don't want your disciples to be 'disgraced' or implicated by you, it's best to help us take out a few of the opposing mages before we attack, so that your name will be remembered as a warrior who sacrificed his life for the mage corps rather than a coward. ”

Hoth's magical image stared at Kothwaite, if his eyes could kill, the tenth-order mage would have turned into a corpse by this time.

"I'll do it," he said word by word, "I hope you end up better than mine." At the same time that Hoth's figure disappeared from the magic gem, the gem that could not be destroyed with a heavy hammer exploded, and countless shards as sharp as blades flew through the air, whistling through the air.

An invisible magic barrier quietly appeared on the surface of Kothwaite's body, and those lethal gem fragments did not even cause a ripple on them, and the tenth-order mage's face calmly watched as those fragments flew from the air in all directions, without the slightest change on his face.

"We act. Koswaite turned and said to his men, as if to tell what to eat for dinner.

Thousands of 'squire' warriors silently formed a strong defensive line on the outskirts of the valley, and in their rear, dozens of mages became their powerful backups, and within all of them, the remaining four hundred mages were arranged in an orderly formation into a huge battle formation.

"Let's remember this moment!" Koswait, who was in the center of the battle formation, shouted loudly, and the majestic 'spirit' divine power immediately spread out to the surrounding space, becoming one with the mages around him, and the next moment, the torrent of all the 'essence' divine power that gathered more than four hundred mages above the sixth order was surging silently, greedily and quickly grabbing the surrounding origin energy like a bottomless black 'hole'.

Every mage organization with a long heritage will have its own unique battle formation, different from those ordinary combat methods, these unique formations often have incredible power - in ancient times, there was once a case of a giant mage tower where all the mages 'made' a continent through the battle formation - the mage group is no exception, and the battle formation presided over by Koswait, if it can really exert its own inherent power, is enough to flatten the mountain peak where the god of storm is located and the nearby ten square kilometers.

However, this alone is not enough to guarantee victory in this war: all mage organizations that have a certain battle formation will protect their base camp accordingly, and the magic emitted by the battle formation may destroy all areas outside of the third line of defense of the god of storm, but it will definitely not be able to shake the mage tower in the slightest if the opponent is prepared. Since it takes a long time for a large spell to be activated, in order to avoid being detected by the opponent before the spell is completed, Kothwaite chose a location at least a few tens of kilometers away from the god of storms, at such a distance, even if the defensive center of the mage tower is destroyed, the mages in it still have time to take various remedial measures, such as using magic to make the god of storm disappear from the lock of the opponent's attack. In this case, unless they rely on something else, Koswaite and his men can only 'waste' their magic.

That reliance is on Hoss.

The mage's mission is not only to destroy the defense center, but also to place a gem with positioning magic in the mage tower that will guide the mage's attacks like a lighthouse in the night.

But Hoss's role doesn't stop there. According to the pre-planned plan, when the attack of the mage group is close to within 500 meters of the god of the storm, the vibrational frequency unique to the destruction of 'sex' magic will trigger the resonance of a spell that has been buried in Hoth's body in advance, and the powerful magic that bursts from the inside will make the god of the storm face a double attack, and the destructive power of this raid will be increased by at least ten times. As Kothwaite said, like his men, from the beginning, Hoth was treated as an outcast by the leaders and elders, but he would play a greater role in the latter's plans.

The 'tide' formed by the Primal Energy continued to flow to the center of the battle formation formed by the mages, and the rapid flow of this Primal Energy greatly affected the surrounding environment within a dozen kilometers, and the plants that lacked the support of the Primal Energy quickly withered, and the originally 'fertile' land turned gray and yellow, and in some places became extremely hot, and in others it became extremely cold.

However, this change did not affect the mages who were preparing their spells with all their hearts. Letting the violent hurricane of heat and cold imbalance blow through their bodies, these spellcasters, who were not known for their physical strength, stood firmly in place like stone statues, their 'spirits' condensed into a whole, forcibly summoning all the primordial powers that could be summoned like a conscription king, and methodically organizing these conscripted soldiers into a real army like an experienced commander.
