Chapter 118: The Gap
As soon as Tang Shidao finished speaking, the audience fell silent.
It has to be said that such an expression cannot be said to be unreasonable...... Why can you decide in advance when I can't decide at home? You said that you decided the outcome earlier, so I can't decide who to choose in the 'plan'? Besides, what does it have to do with being respected by the strong and being one step earlier? There is no set date for this matter to start, so it is better to win if you arrive one step earlier.
Everyone was speechless, but they knew the reason in their hearts.
In the final analysis, there is only one reason: the natural contradiction between the mages in the net and the mages outside the net!
In some dimensional worlds, mages will generously disclose their identities. For example, the Astral Empress, a bull who holds a plane with one hand, everyone knows that she is a member of the Mage Network. Even if it is a small person like Prince Zhou, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty also know the existence of immortals. The name of the mage network is not important, it is called the fairy world, it is called the divine court, it is called the mage network, it doesn't matter what the name is, anyway, many people know such a place.
Even if the mages don't say it, once the mages outside the net enter the Endless Void, they will know about the existence of the mage net.
After Tang Shidao became a hunter.
After studying and researching, it was found that some planes were not at all likely to be kept secret. For example, a plane very close to the Endless Void, a place that is often invaded by Void Beasts. These 'catastrophic' dimensional worlds often need the support of hunters, otherwise planet by planet will be destroyed, and eventually all life will be extinct.
As a result, people from these planes often come into contact with Void Beasts and Mages.
Of course, there's the biggest kind of leak: the Reverse Mage.
Most anti-mages deliberately promote the existence of the mage network, and it is basically distorted. Because the mage.com only provides a platform and does not preside over justice or evil, this neutral attitude is easy to be led astray by others. As soon as there is a disaster in the country, and someone preaches that 'the mage does not want to save us', the affected people immediately hate the mages and follow in the footsteps of the anti-mage.
Sometimes, in order to fight the invasion, some mages often need to establish magic academies to train talents.
All kinds of reasons add up.
A large number of 'off-net mages' have been created in this way, and there are more and more of them.
Where does the contradiction come from?
Two words...... Eat one's heart out!
No matter how many magic apprentices a plane world has, it will always just pick a random life, whether it is a human or a pig. In other words, no matter how hard a mage outside the network tries, it is impossible for him to enter the mage network. This kind of thing only depends on the face, and whoever is chosen is who it is.
Calculate the difference.
Off-net mages have to rely on their own efforts, while in-net mages only need to 'buy, buy, buy'.
Off-net mages do not have talent spells, while in-net mages have infinite talents.
Mages outside the network cannot walk all walks of life, and mages inside the network can swim in the heavens at any time.
Such a contrast.
The latter is naturally jealous, and often, magic apprentices hope that the mages in their plane will die quickly, and then ...... You may be picked...... That's right, they are jealous of the mages in the net, and they are desperate to have this status.
Tang Shidao still knows.
Under normal circumstances, these people would never dare to provoke the members of the Mage Network, because the two sides are too far apart. The only place where provocation is possible is the Endless Void. For example, the Forbidden Demon Land and the Transcendent Demon Land, the former, the mages in the net do not dare to reveal their talents, and it is difficult to scare those who have practiced hard and cultivated hard. In the latter, mages outside the network can also get a lot of magic support, and they are not afraid of cheating mages in the net.
Therefore.
Whether there is a grudge or not, this jealousy turns the two sides into two camps. At every opportunity, mages outside the network will steal the limelight...... Like a kid I'm going to 'compliment'.
As for the Void Beasts, hehe, they never really made friends.
Now there is cooperation and an exchange of interests.
"This mage, it's useless if we continue to pester. Even if you win, and a group of mages will pop up and say it's not fair, then we won't have to go on the expedition. Now that the Legion is in place, there is no time to waste. Well, let's give you a spot, and you'll form a legion to go on the march. As soon as the old sheep man opened his mouth, he said that he was thinking about everyone.
"Do you think we need alms?" Tang Shidao was amused.
"This mage, most of you have lost." The old sheep man said indifferently, saying that you don't give it yourself.
"That's why I don't accept this outcome, and let you people who are not in the state of mind be the team leader. We are going to the Nightmare Forest to fight hard, not to wrestle our wrists, where do you have the confidence to think that you are the strongest group? Ask my peers, not about talent, but about one thing: who among us mages has the confidence to kill everyone on the other side alone. Tang Shidao turned his head and asked the group of mages to go along.
The mages were slightly stunned, and then understood what they meant.
At this time.
The eagle-headed man, who had just lost the last game, stepped up and said I could. Without waiting for everyone to react, hundreds of mages stood up in unison, expressing their confidence.
"You ......" the old sheep chilled in his heart.
No need to ask, it's very forbidden to believe something...... A mage's gifted spell!
The mages who stood up in front of them were silent: If you don't worry about anyone seeing, we can kill all of you by using our natural spells. It's not that you're too strong, it's that we're not really trying our best.
Turning back.
Is it true that the talent must not be used?
Of course not!
Now it's just the mages who don't feel the need to expose it. Once you are in a hurry or your life is not guaranteed, you don't use any hole cards. From the perspective of ordinary people, the mage is the father, and the mage outside the network is just a group of hairy children...... Don't beat you to death, it's just that your subordinates show mercy, not that you bear children can't be beaten.
Glancing at the crowd.
Tang Shidao pointed to the mages who stood up: "When you arrive at the Nightmare Forest, anyone here is more useful than your legion. You say, where do you get the confidence to be able to lead us? I'm not going to talk about the use of gifted spells in the Nightmare Forest, I'm just talking about alchemists. When conquering the Nightmare Forest, the above ten leaders came out at random, who dared to compete with the alchemist to kill the enemy? ”
One sentence is over.
The alchemists all looked up and chested up to see who had this confidence.
Ten people on the high platform did not move.
Don't dare to compare.
Don't even dare to have objections.
Including the leaders of the Void Beasts, they also know that they can take down alchemists one-on-one, group against group...... An alchemist can wipe out a small army with a squad of five. In the Forbidden Lands, no one dares to compete with alchemists in their ability to kill enemies.
"This mage ......"
"We'll form our own team, and there are a lot of orcs anyway. Since you think this competition is fair, we have no objection and will do our own thing. Now everyone is still in alliance, I hope you don't have any strange behavior, otherwise you will be killed by unknown spells, don't blame me for not reminding me. Tang Shidao interrupted the other party's speech, and he didn't bother to get used to these people.
Compared to off-net mages like Old Bottle and Dumb Monk, these people are simply negative examples.
No wind and waves.
Don't talk about mixing the void, you may not be able to mix well when you go to school and rebuild it.
The mages listened and had no opinion.
Tang Shidao is his own person, and he has saved face for his own people, and they will definitely support it. What's more, the selection of the team leader is really nonsense, if the battle is won only by muscles, what do we have to do with our brains, make it into tofu and eat it.
Seeing that all the mages dispersed, the situation became so stiff, and the mages outside the network also regretted it a little.
After all, everyone knows it in their hearts...... These people are thighs!
After Tang Shidao and the other mages left, everyone didn't need to compete for anything, just choose a leader for each war fortress. At this time, Tang Shidao reminded everyone again: "Everyone be careful. This matter seems to be a mage outside the net, but I suspect that there is another ghost. It's not over yet, so don't be careless when you get to Nightmare Forest. ”
The mages thought that there was something really wrong, and they were secretly vigilant in their hearts.
After departure.
Tang Shidao invited the dragon tooth and the tiger shadow, and handed them a small leaf, with only five very small words on it: The anti-mage is here!
The dragon's tooth and the tiger's shadow remained silent.
Tang Shidao said: "Some of us have gone astray, you know? ”
Dragon Tooth and Tiger Shadow nodded, thinking to themselves that the mission of the three of them must have been deliberately leaked by these 'traitors who are ready to defect to the anti-mage'.
Tang Shidao also said: "Hunters and prey, sometimes can be reversed. Do you have any trustworthy friends, go tell them that we have other friends coming. ”
Dragon Tooth and Tiger Shadow glanced around, knowing that Tang Shidao didn't dare to say it clearly.
A group of people around him may be hiding intelligence figures with rebellious intentions. The news leaked from the Thunder Rhino Fortress, whether it was a mage or an orc, in short, there might be a problem with the crowd around you, so it's always right to be careful.
This moment.
Nor do they wonder why the owl insists on going on the expedition. Because I guessed in my heart that the anti-mage would come, it was not certain who would be the hunter and who would be the prey. You must know that the anti-mage is a treasure trove of humanoid movement, and it is definitely not a dream to be able to kill a few people and get rich overnight.
"We have some friends, let's talk to them." Tiger Shadow and Dragontooth also have friends they can trust in other legions.
Tang Shidao nodded.
Watching the two leave, Tang Shidao guessed that this time the anti-mage was not coming at him, because no one knew his identity. is an ordinary task, but something happened when he pulled the dragon teeth into the gang. From this, it can be seen that the target of the anti-mage is likely to be the dragon's tooth.
In the Forbidden Demon Land, the armor master of the dragon's tooth is very useful.
Soon.
Some of the mage leaders have received the news and secretly gathered their forces to prepare for a counterattack.
Do mages rebel against mages?
Joke...... Long since the first battle of the rebellion, the anti-mage has been hanging and beating. It's okay if I don't know about the conspiracy, I know that it may come, but I'm afraid that you won't come.
The great army marched.
Once again, Tang Shidao saw the gap between the mages in the network and the mages outside the network.
Sentry, marching, resting, patrolling, surveillance, clearing, protecting, camping, preparing food, all of these are very different manifestations. The mage side is very professional, for example, in the case of the sentry, the hunter will never take the work of the sentry, and the sentry guard will never take the hunter's job of clearing the monsters. Shieldguards stay at the alchemist or sniper's side, and flying orcs are constantly scattered to monitor the area.
The nezumi set up camp.
The Minotaur sharpens the blade of his sword.
Lizardfolk collect usable food.
The little dragon banishes the worm bees.
The whole group is like a sophisticated machine, running step by step, without the slightest chaos.
What about off-net mages?
One team, one gang.
Be scatterbrained.
Tang Shidao could see that it was not that they were incompetent, and that they were unable to concentrate their forces at all. In the simplest example, a pack of antlers never messes with a pack of werewolves. Even if werewolves are good at sentry and antlers are good at gathering food, they will definitely not cooperate.
Different planes, different lives.
Removing today's alliance doesn't count, they used to be creatures of two different dimensional worlds, and it's no wonder that they can cooperate to a high degree.
Mages are different.
The same mage network, look down and don't look up, don't see tomorrow today, everyone is their own person. The mage manages the beast soldiers as heroes, and the beast soldiers hold the hero's thighs to brush up on military exploits, and everything has long formed a fixed pattern, and it can't be messed up if you want to.
It's still a march.
Not much difference.
Once entering the Nightmare Forest, Tang Shidao believed that the gap would widen.
