369 Fighting for Freedom With Who's Freedom [Asking for a Monthly Pass!]
"Magicians, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and we are still one last step away!"
In the square near the center of Tallinn in the Silver City, Zold-Mildern stepped on top of a giant damaged battle golem and used a spell to send the sound to everyone in the square.
"Menesus's attempt to transform the Storm Isles into an evil kingdom has failed, but his family and henchmen are still entrenched in the High Council and the Supreme Academy of Magic, and they still hold the top of Silver City, and they are still stubbornly resisting!"
"Only by completely destroying them can we usher in true freedom!"
"Freedom...... Do you know what that means, magicians?"
Zold's voice was impassioned, and even the magicians who admired reason felt their blood boiling at the moment.
It means two hundred...... No, the era of dozens of families deciding all matters of magic and magicians has come to an end!"
"It means that we will break free from the shackles of blood, and in the face of magic, all magicians are equal!"
"It means that the Mage Federation will serve all magicians, and it will no longer be a tool for a few families to rule magicians and monopolize all interests through magic!"
"It means that the Supreme Council is open to all magicians, and every magician can participate in all matters related to magicians, and they can use their own votes to decide the ownership of the councilors!"
"It means that the magician must bow to the big family and endure terrible oppression in order to be able to go further on the road of magic, and the days when he can rely on magic to obtain happiness are gone!"
A large number of floating ships floated overhead, and countless floating boats descended, carrying battle mages, magic warriors, and battle golems, and rushed towards the towers still controlled by Menesus's henchmen, as well as the family magic towers that remained loyal to Menesus.
The magic cannon continued to bombard, the protective enchantment flickered continuously, and in front of the square, the central area of Silver City was still a chaotic battlefield.
"This means that the Storm Islands will return to the world, and the mages will regain the glory that has been lost for tens of thousands of years, and regain the respect of mortals!"
"For a better tomorrow, for the freedom of the magician, friends, fellow believers on the path of magic, fight!
Zolde waved the banner of the Mage Federation in his hand, and tens of thousands of people from the slaves of small families in Silver City, independent magicians and free magicians from the outskirts of the city, officers and soldiers of the garrison who defected, and transcendents worthy of battle in the Shadow City, launched a vast array of tens of thousands of people to attack Tallinn, where the Supreme Council is located.
The High Council is still under the protection of the Protective Barrier, and a large number of troops directly under the Council are still holding out.
The remaining institutions of the High Council are paralyzed, and the only one qualified to dictate to them is Menesus. Now that Menesus has not been heard from, the movement of the Storm Isles is probably over, but these forces have no choice. They had been ordered to suppress the turmoil in Silver City before, and they already owed too much blood debt.
Looking at the dense fireballs, ice arrows, and arcane missiles like walls, blocking the attacking crowd, Zelder beckoned to his men: "Old Baslayan, and you, where are your contract magicians and demon warriors, and what about the battle golems?
The squinting and treacherous Baslayan complained bitterly: "We have already suffered heavy losses in the outer area, I only have three contract magicians in my hands, and now one is dead and one is seriously injured. Of the twenty demon warriors, almost ten have died, and more than half of them have been killed or wounded! ”
The leaders of other families, guilds, and organizations of all kinds chimed in, they had really invested all their money, and now that victory was imminent, they had enough reason to shrink back and wait to receive the fruits of victory.
"The loot is not a golden bushel, not a magic wizard, not these magic towers that people use as a sign of tyranny!"
Zolde said in a loud voice: "Don't you still understand? The old times have passed! The Storm Islands are no longer a society ranked by how many assets the family has, how many magicians, demon warriors, and even how many planes are pioneered! but how many people remember you, how many people support you! The spoils of war are the fame gained in this revolution!"
"Send everyone you have who you can use, including your children and grandchildren, and even yourselves! at least let everyone see that you are on the battlefield!"
He said with great regret: "If it weren't for the fact that my father had just died and the family was in chaos, I would have allocated some of my strength to arrest my sister who colluded with Ika, I would definitely use all my strength without reservation, and even I would be at the forefront of the team!"
Old Baslayan frowned in contemplation, the light in his eyes kept flickering, and the other leaders also gave a sudden look.
At the edge of the Supreme Council, the wide corridor flanked by statues of great men became the focus of contention.
At one point, the revolutionaries rushed to the center of the corridor, but the defenders quickly mobilized their forces. Hordes of battle mages and battle golems weave a dense web of magical fire, and the crowd that charges before them falls layer by layer, and then is blown apart by spells, staining the statue scarlet.
The huge casualties caused the morale of the revolutionaries to plummet, and they had to withdraw from the corridor, relying on the new forces to stabilize their positions and confront the defenders across the corridor.
Seeing that the battle was at a stalemate, a figure fell from the floating ship outside the barrier and stood on the corpse in the center of the corridor that looked like it had been spit out of a meat grinder.
The flying purple bands of light blocked the various spells that came like torrents, and the slender figures in the bands of light were shocked by the magic from time to time and swung up their cloaks, revealing tattered purple robes. The long black hair fluttered in the turbulence, and the patches of snow-like skin under the robe were also visible.
"The Storm Islands are a place of refuge founded by our ancestors, and for tens of thousands of years, the sages who have done great things for magicians are here, and what are they doing for all?"
"Is it just for their children and grandchildren to live in this small subplane? no, they are here to preserve hope, to wait, to welcome the ultimate freedom!"
The slightly hoarse voice pierced through the turbulence of magical power and echoed on the two floors of the corridor, and everyone could hear it clearly among the more than 100,000 revolutionaries and defenders.
Hathaway Ted!
"Menesus deviated from the laws of the world and weaved an evil conspiracy in an attempt to separate the magician from the world forever and become a servant of the forces of evil. His plot has been shattered, and he himself has been executed by the gods!"
"Like him, the great families who tried to prevent the Storm Islands from integrating into the world and welcoming the new era with all mortals have been wiped out one by one. ”
Hathaway walked slowly through pools of blood and corpses, and although she was in tatters and occasionally in the spring, she didn't care at all.
When she walked to the statue with only a pedestal at the end of the corridor under the fierce attack, she seemed to everyone as if she had just stepped down from the pedestal.
"What are you still fighting for? Orders left for those who have been branded as evil and turned into the dust of history? Don't you long for freedom?"
"You still have a choice! Give up the resistance and join the ranks of the revolution! I, Hathaway Ted, on behalf of all revolutionaries in the Storm Isles, pardon you!"
Hathaway's divine posture and awe-inspiring words made the torrent of spells that attacked her rapidly weaken, and the defenders began to waver.
Hathaway picked up a flag from the ground, it was the flag of the Mage Federation.
In the center of the azure blue background, the white basic magic runes form a circle, and in the circle is a white six-pointed star. Outside the six-pointed star circle, ninety-two small six-pointed stars are arranged in layers, symbolizing the ninety-two families who first came to the Storm Islands.
This flag had several holes, and the small six-pointed stars were naturally not enough, but the rune six-pointed star in the center was still intact, but it was dyed scarlet by blood and water.
Hathaway raised the banner aloft and turned to the revolutionaries and shouted, "What about you? What are you fighting for!?"
After a moment of silence, a tidal wave of cries rang out from the other side of the corridor, reaching the sky.
"For the ——! of freedom"
The torrent of revolutionaries rushed through the corridors, the defenders collapsed, and the last of the rulers' positions in the Silver City were finally liberated.
Standing under the statueless pedestal, Hathaway stroked the line "Hathaway Misley" and whispered, "Mother, I will not fail you for all that you have done for me." Grandmother, may your will in the magic net protect me, protect all mortals, and protect the freedom of mortals on the path of power with the power of magic. ”
She planted the flag on the pedestal, turning into purple light and bursting through the air.
On the floating ship, Hathaway's uncle Gordon greeted her and complained, "Pay attention to your demeanor, you are ...... like this now"
"I just want everyone to see that I don't just drive them to shed blood and sacrifice, I'm fighting just like them", Hathaway waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this, how is the situation of the secondary mask now?"
"It's bad," Gordon said in a heavy tone, "The additional laws of functionality, that is, the various spell models are failing. Now that the secondary plane is returning to the main plane, when the main plane space membrane recovers the Storm Islands, another round of violent magic will be generated. ”
"At that point, not only will all the functional laws fail, but the basic protective laws will be severely affected. The Storm Islands will be completely confronted by the main position, and no one knows what else will be left. ”
Hathaway patted her forehead and said worriedly: "This means that a magic guide exclusive to the Storm Islands, such as the Floating Ship, will be invalid at that time, and the battle mage will not be able to use spells." ”
Gordon nodded: "Yes, I have notified the fleet to land as soon as possible." However, the floating ship did not have a waterproof airtight design, and could only be lowered to Silver City and nearby islands. ”
"The floating fleet is still a minor problem, and when the time comes, the connection between the Storm Islands and the Pioneer Plane will also have problems due to spatial distortion, and our losses will be very heavy. ”
"What a catastrophe," Hathaway smiled wryly, "but it's nothing compared to the complete failure of the laws of the secondary mask." ”
She remembered something again: "The backup plan has been activated, right? How many magic towers can support it?"
Gordon said, "All the families that have joined our team are ready, and there are also forty or fifty magic towers in Silver City that can be joined. However, not all magic towers are equipped with magical aberrant beasts, and at most they can only alleviate the impact of magic returning to the main plane. ”
"It's good to be able to do this", Hathaway breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to the ancestors of a thousand years ago, it was required that each magic tower must be connected to the sub-dimensional mask, providing magic for the law, and not pressing all the weights on the ...... On the Underground. ”
Gordon made a suggestion: "I don't know the situation in the bottom city, based on the message you sent, it is surmised that the energy source that supports the legalized secondary mask has been destroyed, but the control tower should still be intact and still functioning, right?"
"If you operate the control tower, actively turn off the functional laws of the secondary mask, and use all the magic to maintain the spatial passage and basic protection laws that connect the development plane, the loss will be minimized. ”
"That's a good idea", Hathaway shook her head, "but the mentor ...... Menesus took the opportunity of the complete paralysis of the High Council to tamper with the authority of the control tower, and only he can operate it, and it is impossible for us to break his ban in a short period of time. ”
"Hathaway", Gordon looked at her with strange eyes, not at his niece's gaze, but at a leader, otherwise he would not have become Hathaway's most trusted person in the family.
"I think, your mentor, must have left you permission. ”
Hathaway was stunned, and after a moment she nodded slowly: "Indeed, this is very likely, he didn't do such a thing for personal gain." ”
Gordon bowed and saluted: "Then I'll dispatch the troops and master the control tower." ”
Hathaway stopped him: "Bring another unit to escort ...... Li The Duke of Prell came to rest on our island. They were still in Silver City, and I was in a hurry to leave, and I didn't have time to make arrangements. ”
Sensing the location of the communication ring, she said, "Just go...... Huh, why are you still in Shadow City?"
She was a little anxious: "Maybe something has happened, you take care of this matter first." ”
After noting down the location, Gordon finally showed a trace of family affection at this time, and said with a faint smile: "What kind of specifications are used to receive it? Is it a VIP or a family member?"
"Uncle ......"
A blush appeared on Hathaway's cheeks: "Of course it's a VIP!"
Gordon muttered, "It's okay to do some preparation first." ”
Hathaway said angrily, "Now is not the time to talk about that kind of thing!"
When Gordon left, Hathaway patted her cheek, a little annoyed: "Is it so obvious?"
She frowned, "Do I really like him?"
After thinking for a while, she smiled: "It's really, it's amazing, I actually like a little guy who is several years younger than me, which means...... I'm going to grab a man with Queen Theresia?"
Hathaway sank into her seat and sighed, "Grab it, grab it, as long as I like." Anyway, he and Theresia are not fellow travelers, or there are really too many saints around him, and his goddesses are ......"
She frowned again: "The connection with him seems to be too close, how can it not be like the relationship between the gods and the spokesperson?"
After a long while, Gordon came back and reported, "There was an explosion in the base section of the Control Tower in Shadow City, and the people we sent to check it were blocked. ”
"Blocked?"
Hathaway was stunned: "Who is so bold as to dare to stand in our way? Is it the remnants of Menesus, or is it a large family that is dying?"
Gordon's face was full of surprise: "It's the people of Shadow City, they want to stop it, but they are blocked by Duke Prell's people." The duke also said that if there was any problem, he would come directly to him. ”
"Richie ——!"
Hathaway stood up: "What does he want to do!?"
