vs 5 Reinforcements from Duke Acre
"If they had come by boat along the coastline according to the normal distance, they should have arrived in three days' time!" said Countess Ellie, in a small but clear voice.
She was dressed in a simple women's leather armor, her hair tied behind her back, and her eyes were fixed on the 'wall of flesh' on the opposite coastline as she spoke, with a cold expression on her face.
She seemed to take a breath, seemed to think for a while, and then continued: "However, if you want to deal with the magic brigade of the Misha Kingdom, they will definitely gather a certain number of magicians, and this time is not something we can calculate!"
Although there are many magicians who have joined the Secret Law Society, and it can even be said that the entire continent is their people, but in the same way, they are all distributed all over the continent, and it is indeed not possible to gather a certain number in a short period of time.
"Yes!" Duke Ake frowned slightly.
He was obviously a little dissatisfied with this answer, but he was also helpless, he understood that if there was no formed magic army, there would be no trace of action in front of the magic brigade of the Misha Kingdom.
The battle in front of him was enough to impress the Grand Duke.
"What about the magicians in Harvey City, my patience is limited, there is not a single decree in the kingdom that can allow his mother to evade the lord's call!" Duke Ake was clearly unhappy with the magicians who dared to refuse his call.
Although those magicians have obtained the status of freemen, in the decree of the human kingdom, in the event of such a large-scale all-out war, the lord has the right to recruit everyone in his realm, including the freedmen.
Originally, this powerful Grand Duke would generally take coercive measures in the face of all disobedient people, but in the current situation in the Hoko Islands, there is no condition for this Grand Duke to act arbitrarily.
After all, Harvey City can't afford any turmoil at the moment.
Forcibly conscripting magicians, God knows what mess will happen?
Countess Ellie knew the dissatisfaction in her Grand Duke's heart, and she also shook her head helplessly, "Soon after the war began, the magicians in Harvey City received orders from the headquarters of the Arcane Order, and they were not responding to our call, but waiting for the person in charge of the Secret Law to arrive. ”
"The Secret Method?" Duke Ark stared coldly at the 'wall of flesh' on the coastline in the distance, "You mean to say that the victory or defeat of our war is in the hands of the Secret Method?"
Grand Duke Ake has already spoken very seriously.
Countess Ellie stared back at her archduke and said seriously, "At least for now, that's the case!"
--------
When Jenina received Gray's letter, she was gloating over the war waged by the orcs, and in the sorcerer's mind, there was a huge problem with the structure of human rule, and he wanted someone to pull these high rulers down.
Without Gray's letter, she would never have imagined that she herself would have joined in what seemed to her a pointless war.
Of course, she had suspicions, but then the secret branch of the Secret Law Society secretly formed in Harvey City transmitted information about the battlefield.
Coupled with the information obtained by their own intelligence agency, the origin of the Demon Stone is indeed somewhere overseas. The emergence of the Kingdom of Misha and the appearance of the Dark Elves are just in time to respond to their conjectures.
They have reason to believe that the source of the Demon Stone may be in the Kingdom of Misha.
On the same day, in the name of the Vice President of the Secret Law Society, Jenina used the best blood pigeon to send a message to the members of the Secret Law Society in Harvey City as quickly as possible, ordering them not to take any action until the support from the headquarters arrived.
This is the main reason why the magicians in Harvey refused to be recruited by Grand Duke Ake.
This great magician, who had a high status in the secret magic society, would never have imagined that her small letter would become the origin of the conflict between magicians and nobles later.
That evening, the top of the Secret Law Council passed a resolution.
They decided to gather a sufficient number of magic teachers to support the Hoko Islands as quickly as possible.
Of course, their battle was purposeful, they weren't joining Duke Ake's army, they were just destroying the dark elf's magic brigade.
In the wee hours of the night, letters summoning the magic masters of the Secret Law Society had already flown to various places through the blood dove.
This is the first time since the establishment of the Esoteric Society that they have demonstrated their power to the world.
I have to say, this is a very dangerous decision, you know, the Arcane Society is just their own name, so far, no official force has recognized this organization!
Therefore, some magicians immediately objected, they knew very well what the rulers of the various races on the continent of Ailan thought.
However, their opposition to the Demon Stone that destroyed the balance of the magic net did not play any role at all, and most of the councilors were still in favor of sending a team of magicians to destroy the magic team of the dark elves and destroy the source of the Demon Stone.
In this incident, Andrei Huo, the current president of the Esoteric Method, was absent from the entire meeting, and his disciple only said on behalf of his mentor at the beginning of the meeting: "Teacher Andrei said that he respects your decision!"
The councillors and several vice-guilds were not at all surprised by Andre's decision, as their president had rarely appeared since he had inherited the head of the Mystic Society.
But this meeting was not trivial, and it was the intention of these councillors to invite their president to be present in person anyway.
However, due to the urgency of the matter and the urgent report of the magician who observed the changes in the magic web, the councillors did not stick to their ideas.
As a result, the resolution, which many later members of the Esoteric Society called 'illegal', was passed.
---------
On April 13th, a force of magicians led by Jenina herself arrived on Harvey Island.
In order to meet them, Duke Ake personally led the naval forces of the Hoko Islands and fought a skirmish naval battle with the navy of the Misha Kingdom that blocked them, opening up a navigable sea route for Jenina and them.
Jenina brought a total of 100 mentor-level magicians this time, which made Duke Ake a little dissatisfied, you know, in the previous war, the number of magicians they lost was far more than a hundred.
But then, the actions of the Secret Law Society surprised and delighted Duke Ake.
Happily, in the name of Duke Ake, the Secret Law Society has gathered at least 500 magician apprentices and their mentors in Harvey City in just one day.
Shockingly, Grand Duke Ark couldn't have imagined that there were so many magicians in his city.
And these people, who were originally his own, responded to the call of the Secret Law Society after refusing his lord's call to call.
Although the order of this conscription is also in the name of Duke Ake, the actual situation, Duke Ake, as the party, is naturally very clear.
This is undoubtedly touching the bottom line of Duke Ake.
The Grand Duke even imagined in his mind that his castle had been breached by this group of magicians.
"My lord, congratulations on your acquisition of a powerful mage army!" Earl Ellie's words rang softly in the ears of the Grand Duke.
Duke Ake was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the expressions of the nobles on the left and right, and then, the dissatisfaction on his face was swept away, and he smiled and said, "Everyone, the time for revenge has come!"
