309 Change of power
Three days ago, the Academy released the vast majority of its living forces in an attempt to save the Nexus Plains, which had been trampled by the plane invaders.
When the frequency of returnees is getting slower and slower, when the Nexus Plains is slowly immersed in the dark night of slaughter, when the time that the Storm Emblem can support is basically at its limit, it means that the chances of surviving survivors outside are close to zero, unless they hide in the settlements of the Nexus Plains, but after the third day, there is not a single town on the Nexus Plains that has set up magical communication devices, and after the third day, none of them can respond to the call of the Arcane Ring.
The conclusion is obvious, the Plains have fallen, and the Arcane Ring has not even figured out what classes Hell has thrown at the Nexus, and how many troops have been invested?
There was an atmosphere of sadness and depression throughout the Academy, and the council leader Alfred, who signed the order, was under tremendous pressure, and more and more people were puzzled by this order, which almost brewed the greatest bitter fruit of the Arcane Ring since the canopy was erected.
If the incident in Twilight Town last year dealt a heavy blow to the reputation of the Arcane Ring in the secular world, this rescue operation almost buried most of the most stalwart teachers and students of the Arcane Ring, and set back the strength of the academy by decades in an instant.
Those professors who are at the top level of the industry naturally need not say much, even the loss of second- and third-year apprentices is also a huge loss, you must know that every grade promoted means one to several years of grinding, and those students who enter the third year are about to enter the secular world, holding power and power, they may bring a lot of support to the college.
Just as people were immersed in the atmosphere of hesitation and heaviness, a muffled voice rang out in every corner of the Arcane Ring.
"Hello dear students and friends, I am Alfred, the President of the Arcane Ring Magister Council. On behalf of the Magister Council, I offer my deep condolences to all of you for the tragedy that has occurred over the past three days!
It was entirely caused by my misjudgment, for which I bear the main responsibility, and I will announce a few things later to express my attitude.
In the past few days, some news has spread in the academy, and I have heard a lot of people talking about the origin of those invaders, and there are all kinds of strange things. Some people lament that it is unfair, why do some people know about it but they don't know it, but they still have to fight against these unknown enemies like everyone else.
Here, I would like to answer your questions and ask you that some people will not exaggerate or distort the facts and create panic by spreading falsehoods, and I will also explain the college's consideration of concealing some information.
In fact, what we're going to do today is to blame for last year's Twilight incident, and Sivar was the culprit, and of course, there's no doubt that the Necromantic Archmage Sival is dead.
Many people who have participated in the Armageddon of the Necromancy Academy should know that when we went underground, Sivar originally had a remnant army of nearly 2,000 people, including many high-level necromancers, a large number of elite fighters, and it can be said that he was the most elite army under his command.
However, when we went underground with the elven allies, we did not see these people, and finally when we faced the Sivar himself, we realized what happened to them, and they were sacrificed to the devil from Hell in exchange for an evil force that turned the tide, and he even tried to summon evil creatures from Hell to come.
I ended Sival's life with my own hands, he failed, the hellish life was not summoned, and we won.
However, we never imagined that the plane coordinates of the Wagland continent were leaked by Sivar, and this was an extremely serious problem! Far beyond the contradictions between races, countries, and religions, it was a contradiction between planes and planes, between Vaglan and foreigners!
Unfortunately, this time our opponent is Bato Hell, a kingdom of order and evil, in short, the creatures of that land will grab what they want according to their own standards, regardless of whether they will hurt others or not, and give in to their desires.
Even more unfortunate is the fact that the power of the world far exceeds our power and even exceeds our richest imagination. I'll give you a simple example, and you can understand how big the gap between Bato's hell and the Wagland continent really is.
At present, the gnolls, inferior demons, succubi and eye demons that are wreaking havoc on the Continent Plains are all Bato's infernal cannon fodder level troops, belonging to the kind of consumables that can be sent casually on the battlefield, they do not use stable portals, cross the endless void, and transport these cannon fodder to our world, among them, teleportation will lose more than half of the troops, you can speculate their status in hell.
But it is this kind of cannon fodder warrior who beats our thousands of senior professors and elite students from all over the continent, this is the gap in the level of power in the plane, it is clear at a glance. It's hard for us to resist, let alone the mundane world beyond the Arcane Ring?"
Speaking of which, the magic broadcast paused for a moment so that the listener could appreciate how big the difference between the two power levels really was.
Sometimes, the truth is too much to bear.
When it was revealed, when the doubts in people's hearts were lifted, people did not feel relaxed and relieved, but were pressed with a heavier burden, and all the teachers and apprentices who heard the magic broadcast invariably fell silent and waited for the following.
"If this news is transmitted to the secular world, the panic caused by it may cause some unprecedented turmoil in the current situation, which is why the academy chose to hide the news in the first place, because if it is exposed, it will not do much good, and it will only increase the annoyance.
This concealment would make sense if we were able to eliminate the invaders quickly, and now it seems likely that we will not be able to end this war anytime soon, and with the strength of the Arcane Ring, it will be difficult to deal with the invaders from Hell alone.
We have turned to the Millennial Royal Family for help, and with the strong support of the Crimson King, we will build a portal in the Arcane Ring to transport troops and supplies, and Prince Ryan will personally lead the army to help us slay the demons!"
When the news came out, people couldn't help but let out a cheer, and they could faintly hear the sounds of one after another in Master Nar's magic tower.
"Don't rejoice too soon, this portal is expensive, and it will take at least three months from construction to completion, and during those three months, we will have to rely on our own power to protect the Arcane Ring. ”
In short, hope lies ahead, and students still have work to do.
Charlie vaguely understood why Alfred was publishing this information.
First, as he said, the Arcane Ring is difficult to sustain alone, and it must be called for help from the outside world, and this secret cannot be kept, so there is no need to keep it secret from the apprentice.
Second, because of the heavy cost of the three-day rescue operation, an atmosphere of panic has been created within the academy, and clarification from the authority is needed to clear up the rumors.
Third, the academy still needs the remaining people to continue to work hard to protect the academy, and it needs to draw a big pie to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Finally, to return to what I mentioned earlier, this tragedy is largely the result of my immature decisions, for which I must be held responsible. ”
Hearing this, Charlie suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and within the Arcane Ring, listeners everywhere froze and listened intently to Alfred's words, just like Charlie's reaction.
"I hereby announce my resignation as President of the Magister Council, as well as my position as Director of the Arcane Ring Academy......"
At this point, there was a lot of uproar in the entire academy, and everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
The three titles of Thunder Venerable, Council President, and Dean have hung on Mr. Alfred's head for many years, and have become a symbol by the world, and when people mention the Dean of the Arcane Ring, they will naturally think of this old man who is not angry and arrogant.
Who would have thought that these titles would be removed in his lifetime?!
The Magister Council is a council, not a one-man institution, and Alfred sacrificed himself to take all the blame on himself, undoubtedly to preserve the prestige of the Magister Council.
Charlie immediately thought of his original intention, and only sighed, this old man had a good impression of himself, to a large extent, he was also a protector of Charlie, and now that he was in the position, it was by no means good news for Charlie.
"In view of the fact that the two Dharma Figures are adrift, the Magister Council is not fully staffed, and in view of the current state of war, the existing six Dharma Figures are hereby nominated by all of them, and finally this nomination motion is finally passed, and Ms. Angelina will temporarily take the position of President, and His Excellency Ferrinand will temporarily act as President of the Council, and carry it out immediately. Next, the Speaker of Parliament, His Excellency Fernand, will announce our next steps. ”
Hearing this decision, everyone was stunned.
It took a few minutes for someone to come to their senses, some to rejoice and some to worry.
As we all know, the dean of the Arcane Ring is the master of diplomacy, and the real power is not great, and the decision-maker of the real Arcane Ring is the president of the Magister Council, and the sudden acquisition of this position by the Great Magus of Light Ferrinand will inevitably bring some changes within the Arcane Ring, the most obvious reaction is that those who are inclined to Alfred may be slowly marginalized, such as Master Nar, while those who are inclined to Ferrinand will slowly move towards the core class, such as his apprentice Peter.
And for Charlie, this is tantamount to the worst-case scenario.
Charlie still clearly remembers that day in full view of everyone, Ferrinand bullied the weak and almost crushed him to death on the spot, if it wasn't for Qingtong asking her teacher to come forward, Charlie would have died a long time ago.
Even if Charlie can forget this grievance, Ferrinand will not believe it, and after some grudges are settled, it is impossible to let go, especially the great feud of life and death.
Now that this old man is at the pinnacle of power, he doesn't know what kind of trouble he will bring to Charlie.
