Chapter 774: Strife in front of the tower
Roddy is also suspicious of the "forbidden spell" in his heart, but he is obviously more cautious. He had preferred to believe in Houdini's unreliable dreams, but now he was willing to obey Edith's well-meaning admonitions.
I thought that the next two of them would face the magic tower and the remaining "Holy Meeting" mages inside, but when Kardashian flew near the target, she suddenly lowered her flight altitude and fell to the ground silently...
"How?"
"There are people ahead, and there are quite a few. ”
Kardashian's face was slightly solemn, and after hearing this, Roddy tightened the quiver on his body, held the bow in his hand and followed.
Three hundred meters away, the team of the "Holy Order" Elder Kyle had already arrived in front of the magic tower.
The mage who monitored the external environment of the magic tower certainly recognized the identity of this elder, as Dominic's deputy, the mage named Dinah is very powerful, and he is also one of the most famous think tanks in the "Holy Society" - Dominic listened to his advice before seizing this magic tower, and took control of the core of the magic tower with all his wealth, and won the rapid progress and elder position for more than ten years.
Now seeing another elder suddenly appear next to the magic tower, Dinah was shocked and immediately realized that something was wrong, but he still made a calm gesture and asked knowingly, "Elder Kyle? ”
He was standing in front of the window on the second floor of the magic tower and talking downward, because of the effect of the hidden enchantment, the others could not see the magic tower itself at this time - in their field of vision, Dinah appeared very abruptly in a position five meters high, obviously quite wary of them.
"It turns out that Venerable Dinah is here. ”
Elder Kyle didn't look like he was domineering in his words, but was very polite - because he didn't believe that the other elders could find the magic tower as quickly as he did, so he was thinking about how to "outwit" the magic tower at this time... After all, he was also a member of the "Holy Society", and he didn't think about using troops against his own people, who had already suffered heavy losses.
"The report from the front may not have been delivered here, so I'm here to inform you that Elder Dominic's team met fierce resistance at Elson City and was killed on the spot. ”
His words, though Dinah had expected, still made the mage feel like the world was spinning... After all, it was Elder Dominica who personally went out to take the horse, and all the elites he brought with him, how could he say that he was dead when he died?
Then they come here...
Dinah's eyes narrowed, and he quickly understood the intentions of Kyle and the others. As a mage, of course he understands how important this magic tower is, if it weren't for his own lack of strength, he definitely wants to keep the magic tower for himself - but he can become the most famous thinkers of the "Holy Society", so naturally he will not be dominated by such simple desires.
The more he learned about the tower, the more he felt an indescribable sense of awe. At the same time, I gradually understood the fact that even Dominic had not completely controlled all the space of the Magic Tower for so many years... It can even be said that this elder has only touched the skin of the magic tower at best, and there is still some distance from "control".
Although he is in the magic tower and has a small amount of authority, Dominic himself and all his subordinates are estimated to be only members of the "temporary" magic tower, and he cannot be called the "master" at all.
Now that Kyle is here, he naturally wants to take the Tower for himself. In terms of strength, the mages of the Dominica Elder line were seriously injured, and even if they fought, they had no capital. If Dinah had the authority to control the "attack" of the Magic Tower, he would be happy to solve this hidden danger, but unfortunately he only has a very small number of rights, such as opening the door of the Magic Tower...
Dinah had considered the possibility of the other party's deception, but the elders were not blindly confident, and they knew very well how powerful the magic tower would be in the hands of those in control. If the controller is alive, there is no way to easily deprive the tower owner of his status - so there is a 90% chance that Dominic is actually dead.
With that in mind, Dinah felt that his best option at the moment was to change course. However, he also knew that he couldn't do it too much, so he said, "Elder Kyle, what are your intentions in bringing these people here?"
"This is too close to Elson City, and the lord of the city is frantically searching for traces of this magic tower after being attacked, so the 'Holy Order' has decided to immediately take back control of the magic tower to prevent it from being used by the enemy. ”
Kyle's remarks had already been prepared. Anyway, the mage inside the magic tower is news blocked, taking advantage of information asymmetry, and the other party has nowhere to confirm what he says, so he can only choose to believe.
But he didn't think that he happened to be right.
"What about after the Tower is recovered? Elder Kyle, please forgive me for being unreasonable—after all, I have to think about the rest of the tower. ”
Dinah naturally wants to leave a way out for his team, after all, his reputation is not small in the "Holy Society", as a strategist, he does not worry about personal development, but the team he spends time with is difficult to maintain in this drastic change - if you want to get ahead, you can't rely on one person alone, he has long understood this.
"Master Dinah is very familiar with the various parts of the Magic Tower, and after the Magic Tower is returned to the 'Holy Meeting', it will naturally depend on the mages to control it. ”
Kyle said it politely, and even took out the scroll and said, "If you can't believe it, there's a magic contract to sign here." ”
This seems to be very sincere. Dinah narrowed his eyes, he obviously felt the other party's slightly anxious emotions, he looked up thoughtfully into the distance, and suddenly said, "Elder Kyle, is that your team over there?"
These words made Kelden's face change, and he turned around, and sure enough, he saw a team approaching in the forest behind him. Seeing this, he didn't bother to deal with Dinah, and immediately said loudly: "Let me in now, you will be my first deputy in the future!"
As he spoke, he led the team directly towards the gate of the magic tower - obviously to occupy the magic tower in the first place. Dinah knew that nothing would end well, and if he didn't open the door now, he would be sure to tie up with this elder. Therefore, after striving for the maximum benefit, he didn't talk nonsense, and recited the spell to make the hidden barrier of the magic tower disappear, and then opened the door of the magic tower: "Elder Kyle!
Kyle didn't answer, as he realized that it was Elder Aubrey's team rushing behind him. The opposing team has a high proportion of mages, and all of them cast various spells and desperately rush towards the inside. Kyle's own team has the highest percentage of Arcane Samurai, and although he is physically strong and can march fast, his burst speed in a short period of time is obviously not as fast as those with spell support.
Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to rush forward and rush into the magic tower with everyone as soon as possible... After all, the decision within the "Holy Society" is to whoever controls the magic tower first, and the sooner you rush in, the sooner you can hope to master the core area.
He had a good idea in his heart, but he clearly misestimated Elder Aubrey's determination to the Magic Tower. Using several scrolls to speed up, he flew close to the ground with the 8 mages around him, and almost in the blink of an eye, he rushed behind Kyle and the others from a hundred meters away...
"Hum—"
A large barrier appeared in front of everyone, and Aubrey certainly didn't want Kyle to go in first, so he cast a spell to stop him in his tracks.
"Damn it!"
Kyle scolded angrily, drew his sword and slashed forward, and a bright blue white light instantly slashed at the barrier, but it only cut a large crack - seeing this, all the Arcane warriors on the team collectively drew their swords and slashed, and finally slashed the barrier - but the remaining light slashed the tower, and suddenly the tower body resounded with a buzz.
The windows that Dinah had opened above disappeared at the same time.
Kyle didn't notice this, he just stared at the gate and shouted without looking back, "Rush to the front!
In the next moment, he and the Arcane warriors who followed behind him collectively activated the "Rush" skill, and each step was almost 15 meters away, forcibly leaving the mages who had caught up behind, and stepped on the top of the base of the magic tower first, and rushed directly into the door.
The soldiers in the rear blocked it with a "human wall", although the two sides did not move, but Aubrey, who needed to detour, was naturally slowed down again.
"Shameless Kyle!"
Elder Aubrey, who was following behind, was furious, knowing that he was indeed a step too late. His gaze glared viciously at the Arcane warriors in front of him, and he also didn't notice the strangeness of the magic tower after being attacked. At this time, all he thought about was the composition of Kyle's team: that guy himself was not proficient in spells, how could such an "illiterate" fellow have an advantage in a Grand Arcanist's magic tower?
Thinking like this, Aubrey felt a lot better, his flying speed slowed down slightly, and he quickly said to the 8 mages beside him: "Don't get separated after entering!
With that, he turned to the fifteen Arcane warriors in front of him, "Kyle is already ahead, so let's stop here." ”
He knew that there were still some sappers and five Arcanists behind Kyle who hadn't entered, so he raised his hand and cast a massive barrier to keep the Arcane Warriors and the men out.
"I'm sorry, guys. ”
As an elder of the "Holy Order", there is naturally no need for internal competition to fight to the death. Aubrey's words were naturally a step, and the Arcane warriors and arcanists who were stopped also knew that they had no need to struggle, and they all raised their hands to show up.
In order to increase his bargaining chips in capturing the magic tower, Elder Aubrey naturally wanted to let everyone he brought rush into the tower. He has always been calm and watertight, because he knew something about the magic tower before, so he understands that the complexity inside is far from being something that a half-person like Kyle can deal with... That guy didn't bring the Arcanist in, which is basically equivalent to cutting off an arm, and even if he is left to find it, it will be enough to find the core.
"Crawford fell last this time, and it is already a sure thing that the magic tower will be held by himself!"
Elder Aubrey's hand holding the staff trembled slightly, he had already figured out how to cast an enchantment at the entrance of the magic tower to block Clifford, but when the last group of sappers rushed into the magic tower, he suddenly stared at him and suddenly shouted, "Who are you?!"
