Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Scarlet Night (Part II)
Victor, who walked out of the dark passage and led the remnants of the low-level mages, did not stop, but continued to travel according to the plan set before, and only after changing the route several times did he find a relatively safe shop and settle down.
"Mr. Victor, have you noticed?"
A mid-level mage who escaped from the encircled mage family said, "Along the way, we didn't meet any people from the temple...... Is this a strange situation? ”
"There is another point, why did the high-end forces on both sides not make a move? Do they have any scruples? ”
Victor thought for a moment and explained, "...... I can guess a little, but I can't guarantee that this speculation will be correct......"
"For some unknown reason, several adults of the Magic Society missed the best time to fight back, so now they must be waiting for an opportune moment...... And the temple's approach is easier to explain, they have already gained a lot with the advantage, as long as they maintain this battle situation and continue it, they can achieve the purpose of this attack, there is no need to put high-end combat power on the unpredictable battlefield......"
"As for those of us...... In the eyes of the high-level leaders of both sides, it is just a group of dispensable chess pieces! If my assumptions are correct, the Templar Order, which has suffered a loss, should have decided to give up on killing us in order to avoid unnecessary losses from the Templar Order......"
"What do you mean......" the mid-level mage asked with a look of surprise on his face, "Are we safe?" ”
Victor nodded, "Yes! But only if a quarter of an hour later, we still haven't found any trace of the Templars......"
"Great! Can I tell everyone about this? ”
"It's better to wait, don't make everyone happy in vain......"
"Yes, Mr. Victor!"
Although the mid-level mage did not announce the content of the conversation between the two, the joy on his face reinvigorated the sluggish atmosphere in the team.
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.
When the previous mid-level mage told Victor's speculation, the entire team immediately erupted in suppressed cheers.
"Let's go! Let's go to the Tower of Babel! ”
After repeatedly confirming that it was safe, Victor carefully returned to the Tower of Babel with the low-ranking mages who had escaped death.
Along the way, the corpses covered with various dead bodies made a huge impact on everyone, and this also made the respect of every mage who survived the catastrophe to Victor reach the peak.
……
After entering the Tower of Babel and undergoing the necessary scrutiny, Victor was in a bad mood, and although he knew that this was to avoid the infiltration of the temple personnel, the suspicion still made him feel down. In addition, those who have lost their lives are the main reason for his bad mood.
"Mr. Victor, it's a pleasure to see you safe and sound!"
"I knew Mr. Victor would be fine......"
"I heard from the mages who just came to the Tower of Babel that none of them would have survived without Mr. Victor!"
“……”
In the face of everyone's concern, Victor just smiled stylized.
At this moment, he was full of resentment, and he just thought about walking up to Grant and asking him loudly, "Why don't you fight back?" Why don't you help the mages who need to be saved? ”
With this thought, Victor's pace suddenly accelerated.
With a bang, the door of the 90th floor of the Tower of Babel and the conference hall was slammed open.
Several Grand Arcanists and High Mages, including Grant, stopped arguing endlessly and looked at the gate.
I saw Victor push the guards away and walk in with a cold face and without saying a word.
"I didn't expect that! Your Excellencies, you still have the heart to quarrel here...... Don't you know the current state of the Floating City? Don't you know that there are many low-level mages waiting for your rescue? Are you just watching the soldiers of the temple wreak havoc in the 'Skeshiti'? ”
The emotional Victor burst out all the pent-up feelings in his heart at this moment, and he roared: "What is there that is worth giving up all your actions and arguing here instead?" ”
"Victor, things aren't as simple as you think?"
Rosa Einsed explained aloud: "We can't make a rash move until we have determined the movement of the main force of the temple! Otherwise, the situation is likely to get worse......"
"Worse?" Victor sneered, "What could be worse than now?" Did you know? In the current 'Skexiti', there is a river of blood, and countless mage apprentices and low-ranking mages are being slaughtered by those cold-blooded Templars...... The enemy has already hit the doorstep, and you still have to worry about this and that? Doesn't this big magic society even have any hole cards? ”
"It's not that there are no hole cards...... But it can't be used! ”
A high-ranking mage said, "Mr. Victor, maybe you don't know much about the concept of war...... It's not a game, you can do whatever you want...... Once we use our hole cards and can't drive out the temple army, we will fall into absolute passivity! We need to think big!! ”
"Think big? All right! So tell me, how are you thinking about it now? What are the countermeasures? ”
"Mr. Victor, watch your words! There are some things that you are not qualified to know right now!! ”
"Haha!"
Victor laughed angrily, "I'm not qualified? Then you're qualified?? On behalf of the dead mages, I ask why they hide like a shrunken turtle in the Tower of Babel when they need it most? ”
"You...... You are vexatious!! ”
"I'm going to be vexatious!! What can you do with me? ”
Just when the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, an exclamation came to mind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the core control terminal of 'Skexiti' has been fully restored! But...... Look, Greenland! Greenland it ...... It's burning!! ”
It was only at this time that Victor noticed that the mages in the conference hall were surrounding a huge high-level detection circle that resembled a sand table, through which everyone present could see real-time images of Greenland and even every corner of the floating city of Skethiti.
A few steps forward, a purgatory-like scene appeared in Victor's field of vision.
Catalyzed by some force, the fire on Greenland spread in a frenzied way, and the sky was engulfed in fire and smoke, and the sky had turned crimson.
Every mage in the hall had crimson fire reflected in their pupils, and the horrific sight silenced everyone.
"I can't go on like this!!"
Victor's roar echoed through the silent chamber, "Are you your Excellencies losing people and lands? Don't you understand the truth that people have lost their land, and that people and land exist? ”
In silence, all eyes were on the president of the Magical Society, Grant Einstead.
"In that case......
Grant took a deep breath, "Nirvana Project...... It's officially launched! ”
