The mages of the Imperial Mage Regiment, armed with their staffs, also stepped forward, protected by the entire heavily armed warband of Warrior Followers.

They also held in their hands bright, powerful metal components that shone with magical fluctuations.

If Arthur guessed correctly, it should be a part of a large binding circle that has been prepared for a long time, just like the spell of his mentor Victor, the gravity field, which is specially designed to deal with a strong man like him.

Each of them holds a part of it.

The mages of the Empire move in unison, and their movements are as standard as those of well-trained warriors, which is palpitating for mages who have always aspired to be flamboyant.

I don't know how the empire trained such a group of mages, and victory seems to be within reach for them.

They waved battle flags, with confident smiles on their faces, and surrounded Arthur faintly, acting in an orderly manner, like some dynamic magic circle.

This seems to be the Empire's mage regiment specifically designed to deal with a small number of strong people who cannot be restrained by the army. These mages seem to be proficient in some kind of collective formation, and they are not afraid of the powerful spells he casts.

In other words, against him.

Now Arthur is indeed worthy of such treatment.

Of course, Arthur himself would not have liked such treatment. But he couldn't refuse.

The arrival of these people also gave Darius the last confidence.

He finally relented.

"So, what are you waiting for?"

"Reinforcements? No, there are no more reinforcements. He pointed to the periphery, "There, dozens of miles away, my three warbands are encircling and suppressing your rear army, and they won't come back." ”

"And over there," he said, pointing in the direction Arthur had come, "the Empire's most elite Ripper warband should be slaughtering your front army right now." ”

"All your actions are under my expectations, you think my plan is only this portal raid, no, no, no, as early as a few days ago, the Imperial Stonemasons have infiltrated, reconnoitred the surrounding terrain and intelligence, and set up this ambush."

A few days ago?

Arthur's heart sank.

Darius continued:

"More than a dozen hours ago, your strikers hadn't arrived here. I will prepare this net for you. The strategic mages of the Imperial Mage Regiment cooperated with the soldiers to open the portal into the mountains and set up an ambush around it, and even all your reactions are in my calculations.

War is an art, calculation is fundamental, and we have countless strategically proficient officers at my service to develop the whole strategy, including even mages. ”

"Mage?"

Will the mages also be involved in the planning of the battle, much to Arthur's surprise.

It seems to have guessed Arthur's mind.

Darius Tract:

"Of course there are mages! Mages are our killer weapon.

But do you think I'm talking about a mage who just stands there throwing magic orbs and raining meteor showers? No! You Demacians would never have thought of it. What does that mean when the intellect of those noble mages is used for the calculations of war? ”

"As I said earlier, the key to war is to calculate, gather intelligence, analyze, and calculate, and make plans, and this series of actions determines the outcome of the war. The whole process is exquisite, cohesive, and intimate, and it is a perfect art, and the mages can play a decisive role in this. ”

"In my opinion, mages should focus more on these aspects, on the ethereal runes, on the models, on the unreachable astral planes, that will be much more useful to you."

Darius said as he spoke, his tone changed to say this.

Klein shrugged helplessly, helpless against the radical commander of the Empire.

Let the mages spend their precious time helping with the calculations? Are you kidding.

This is simply the greatest blasphemy against the caster.

Even he, who is also a Noxian, doesn't like it.

However, he did not expect that the enemy who was standing opposite him, Arthur, was extremely in favor of Darius at this moment.

He also strongly agrees with this "use" of mages in the Noxian Army.

Yes, he agrees with Darius's argument.

Victory in the war comes from calculation, and he couldn't agree more with this sentence.

Everyone on the planet knows this. As early as thousands of years ago, in the era of the Chinese Dynasty's soldier saint grandson, this has become the truth. The military strategists on the earth have long regarded war as a game of calculation.

"The husband is the victor without a fight, and the temple is counted as a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts. ”

The reason why such a truth can be summed up so early on the earth is because the combat power of each participant on the earth is not much different on the whole, and it can almost be replaced by the same single model, so that war has largely become a game of calculating the number of people on a certain battlefield.

The only thing that all military strategists can do at this time is to make full use of other influencing factors on the battlefield, such as weather, geography, psychology, etc., to improve the situation on the battlefield and ultimately achieve victory.

However, the Luolan Continent is very different, there has never been individual equality here, and the individuals on the battlefield can be said to be very different.

The war here is another form entirely.

And Darius can still sum up such a lesson in such a war environment, which is not advanced.

And the mages, as the most intelligent group on this continent, the computing power of each mage's brain is ten times and a hundred times that of ordinary people here.

On this continent, each of them is the equivalent of a supercomputer. And when the super server of their brains is applied to a game like war, the final result can be imagined.

This allows them to always be one step ahead of others and win in wars.

This may be another version of "strategizing and winning a thousand miles".

I didn't expect the Noxians to be advanced to this extent?

Noxians, the use of this "intellectual resource" of mages on the battlefield is always refreshing.

In their wars, the mages are not only "artillery regiments" (fire suppression) but also "engineering troops" (teleportation), and now it seems that there will be a posture to transform into radar and high-level war computing centers.

This may be the reason why the Noxians always win in the end.

They never have the so-called "baggage" of the so-called noble mages, and they can always make the most of a resource.

This is Noxus!

Arthur was thoughtful.

Although he was also a member of the noble group of mages, unlike the traditional mages, he did not see anything wrong with doing so. Perhaps it is time for those mages who were always high thousands of years ago to put down their bodies and truly integrate into this era.
