"Before we make a decision, "Venos is not the only one who has 'penetrated' Lutel's thoughts, and when the king wisely chose to avoid conflict with the former, the representative from Canoen has tactfully raised objections, "I suggest listening to the mages first. His gaze fell on the robed men who had been sitting quietly in the corner since the beginning of the meeting, representing all five of Corrieno's mage towers, who had always maintained a transcendent position in the disputes of the various nations, and who could only be seen in such a meeting where the vital interests of all were at stake—in fact, it was these mages who had hosted the meeting of the supreme rulers of all nations or the tasks of real power.

Even an arrogant man like Lutel did not dare to show his rudeness in front of the mages, and the Duke glared at the lord of Canonon viciously, and reluctantly relinquished his right to speak.

"Master Seren," said Haino, Lord of Canon, to one of the mages in a tone of great respect, "please tell us how believable the words of the mage from a foreign land are. ”

As one of only five *** masters in this civilized region, Selen has always been recognized as the 'spirit' god leader of all mages, this highly respected master has spent nearly five hundred years, and some speculate that his true strength has far exceeded the eighth order he has demonstrated.

"In the eyes of the mages, anything that does not violate the laws of the universe can happen. Seren said calmly, "Many people have tried what the mage said and failed, but that doesn't mean that such a miracle won't happen - by the way, Master Krell isn't a mage who came from nowhere," the *** master stared meaningfully at Luteel, "He can wipe out any city at any time, including Sassen, if he wants to." ”

Sassen, known as the most impregnable city in Coriano and the capital of Heron.

A hint of uneasiness suddenly appeared on Rutel's face, and the Duke finally realized that what he had just said was inappropriate, and that his words had already offended a man who even Seren respectfully called a master, which was obviously extremely detrimental to Heron.

"We undoubtedly question you and the venerable Master," Venos I, as happy as he was pleased to see Lutel's predicament, Venos I clearly understood that dealing with Nevin was the priority, and that much depended on whether the monster was really insane, "As a group of ordinary people, magic is undoubtedly too advanced an art for us, it is beyond our comprehension, and all our doubts are just a sign of ignorance of magic. He paused slightly, then continued: "Please make our judgment clear, and know that it is not only about us, but also about the future of Coriano as a whole. ”

King Solai's sincerity was clearly recognized by Sylen, and the *** master took his eyes off Lutel's body and looked at the former.

"Master Krell is a noble man," he said, "and his character is impeccable—taking a group of strangers from a terrible monster like Nevin is not something that anyone can do, and his strength and knowledge are equally admirable, and I personally believe his words." ”

"Thank you for your frankness," said Venos I sincerely, "and I am sure that all of you here will be 'excited' by this." "I think we've got the answer to that question," he said, "so what we need to talk about now is not what attitude to take towards Naven, but how to defeat and destroy this monster." ”

"It's all just speculation," said Ruth-El weakly, having lost the favor of the mages and must not fail again at the meeting, his brother would not forgive him for making two mistakes at the same time, "We must be cautious, until there is solid evidence, Heron will not agree to send troops." ”

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation," a mage walked briskly into the hall and whispered a few words in Selen's ear, and with the latter's permission, the mage straightened up and shouted to Lut El and everyone, "We just received word that just a few minutes ago, Nevin attacked Sreant. ”

This sentence caused a commotion in the crowd like a boulder falling into the water, and among all of them, the expression of the Duke of Lutel was particularly prominent, and the face of the first minister of state of Heron turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly, and it took a long time to reluctantly calm himself.

"How's that going there?" said Rutel's voice visibly trembling, "how much damage did that monster do?"

Sreent, one of the largest cities south of Heron, was also a fief of Lutel, where most of his family lived.

"Actually, we don't know very well about that. "Because the whole city is in flames, and until the fire is extinguished, the mages we have stationed nearby will not be able to enter, and will only be able to send back incomplete information. The mage waved his hand, and a large light curtain appeared in the center of the hall, and images of the raging flames spread over the entire light curtain, a projection of the reality that his companions had teleported back from the scene. He hesitated, as if considering whether to say the following, "According to eyewitness accounts, the fire first started in the middle of the city, and by the time we received the news, no one had escaped from that area......

The mage's narration was interrupted by a roar of rage, but no one blamed him, and all who knew him looked with an eye of almost pity at the de-normal duke, whose residence in Srente was in the center of the city, where all his fiefdom lived, including two of his three ladies, and all but the eldest and second sons.

"Now," Rutel's face was frighteningly blue, his body shaky and threatening to fall at any moment, but he still stood, his eyes slowly sweeping over the people around him, "Let's discuss how to divide the proportion of troops and how to destroy that monster." ”

It was the largest army ever in the history of the Sea of Coriano: eight hundred ships from nearly twenty nations, carrying nearly 100,000 soldiers, equivalent to half of the total number of navies of all the nations along the coast, and a hundred mages from five mage towers—about a quarter of all mages—were concentrated on twenty ships, making them the most powerful strike force among them. The newborn morning sun shone on an unprecedentedly large procession, and the flags representing different countries fluttered up and down the ship in the sea breeze.

Despite their fear of Nevin, after seeing the team with their own eyes, almost no one thought that such an army would fail, and everyone was confident of future victory.

"They're almost there. Looking at the image of the fleet teleported back from the crystal ball, Sailen said to Rhaegar standing in front of the crystal ball with his back to him, "Shall we leave now?" This is the command cabin of a large ship docked in the sea area about a hundred kilometers away from Blackstone Island, if you look down from the air, you will find that the coalition fleet, Blackstone Island and this big ship form a triangle on the sea surface.

Anyone who saw this scene before him would be astonished: Seren, the great magician who enjoyed even more prestige and power than the king in the coastal kingdoms of Coriano, stood like a slave behind the geist, and spoke to him in a tone and demeanor like that of the most humble mage apprentice facing his own majestic mentor.

But Seren himself didn't feel anything wrong, in fact, when Rhaegar took the initiative to find him and his partner and identify himself, he had already decided to work for the person in front of him - a relatively backward magical civilization along the coast of Coriano , a forbidden mage is definitely a god-like existence, just this identity is enough to make all the mages in this civilization area dare not disobey it at all; The division has been around for at least a hundred years, but until now, due to the lack of guidance, they have not even "touched" the 'door' of the higher level of power.

Neither Seren nor his companions had any doubts about Rhaegar's plan to send the soldiers to their deaths. Unlike those who have received the most advanced magical education since childhood, and all promotions are smooth sailing, so they have enough leisure to generate greater ambitions and ***, the reason why these mages living in magic-backward areas have been able to achieve today's achievements is completely due to their fanatical love for magic, for mages who have lived for hundreds of years and have almost no contact with the outside world, everything in the world has lost its meaning, and power and knowledge are the only things they care about in this world.

"It's not time yet," Rhaegar said lightly, "Neven is a very cunning creature, and besides, there is something even more mysterious hidden behind it, and appearing too soon will only alarm them. His eyes were fixed on the crystal ball, and from the images that came back from it, the geist could clearly see that the fleet of the coalition forces had approached the magical barrier it had used to block Neven's range of movement.

"Wait here for my signal," Rhaegar instructed Selen, "get your companions ready, and soon your turn will be on the field." ”

As he spoke, the geist's figure had disappeared from the cabin, and a few seconds later, Rhaegar with a deep grasp of the laws of space appeared above the coalition forces, and then, he lifted the magic barrier he had set up, allowing the fleet to approach Blackstone Island smoothly.
