Chapter 100: Stopping the Goblins
Although there is no such thing as the sun rising and the moon setting in the Abyss Plane, the passage of time will not stop. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
Looking at the majestic fortress in the distance, Neil couldn't help but sigh. I thought I could rest for a while, but who knows, I just returned to the Red Fortress, and immediately rushed here - the Blackstone Fortress.
Above the majestic fortress, there was a black shadow hovering, it was the patrol force of the Winged Terrans. However, it was not the winged warriors who worried Neil the most, but the skeletal shelves that were entrenched outside the walls of the fortress. Although these skeletons are only the lowest-level undead, a single fireball spell can kill a whole bunch of them. But the skeletons, each time they were broken to pieces, could get back on their feet at the spell of the lichs. This is one of the reasons why the Academy's official mage corps has not captured this fortress for so long.
Neil shook his head, glanced at the barracks at the foot of the mountain, signaled to the group of students behind him, and took the lead to leave.
In the barracks at the foot of the mountain, there is a huge tent in the center. A large round wooden table is placed in the very center of the tent.
Neil stood at the entrance, bowed to Terrence, who was sitting directly above, and said, "Lord Terrence, Neil, the head of the Second Mage Regiment, led the Second Mage Regiment, to report. ”
That's right, Neil is already the official head of this cadet. Alice knew that she was not capable of leading the team, and on the way back to the Red Fortress, she had already raised this opinion with Anse Air. Neil didn't think it mattered about such an arrangement. Since Alice had asked for it, he didn't care about taking the task.
However, although Alice and Neil both feel that such an arrangement does not matter, some people are not happy.
Griffitz Ogunis slowly stood up and saluted Terrence first. Then, looking at Neil with a gloomy face, he asked in a slightly mocking tone, "Neil-san, if I'm not mistaken, the head of the Second Mage Group should be Miss Alice, right?"
One glance at Griffitz Augustus, and then at the teacher sitting nearby, Neil knew that Griffitz was deliberately trying to make a fool of him. Neil, though, just smiled and didn't explain.
Griffiths' face changed, he didn't expect that in front of so many teachers, Neil would actually ignore his question. However, this also made Griffitz confirm Neil's identity as the fake leader. Just as Griffitz was about to question Neil again, a voice rang out.
"Alright, sit down, we're talking about what's going on. Terrence gestured to a seat next to Griffiths and motioned for Neil to sit down.
Neil nodded, and sat down calmly next to Griffitz.
Griffith's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt. He didn't expect that Neil was really the head of the Second Mage Regiment. However, in front of so many teachers, he would not make a move that would lose his identity. Griffitz nodded to Terrence and sat down as well. However, his cold gaze swept over Neil from time to time.
Neil didn't know that, he was already in an ethereal state by now. Neil didn't want to waste such a good time meditating. Moreover, Neil doesn't know anything about combat meetings and the like. So, not to mention Griffith's gaze with countless resentments, he didn't know what Terrence was talking about.
Terrence knew that Neil was going into a trance, but he knew about Neil's experiences over the past few months from Anse El. Therefore, Terrence just chose to ignore it, and continued to analyze the current battle situation with his serious face.
However, unlike Terrence, most of the other teachers didn't know what Neil had been going through in the past few months. Seeing Neil distracted there, most of them couldn't help but frown. Of course, the deans of several colleges are not in this one "majority".
Seeing Neil distracted there, but not being punished by Terrence, the coldness in Griffith's eyes deepened.
At this moment, Terrence said, "According to the intelligence, the support of the goblins has rushed towards the Blackstone Fortress. What should we do, everyone speaks. ”
Several dean-level figures have chosen to be silent. The mentors, on the other hand, were very active in the discussion.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a mechanical arm said, "I think we should take the initiative and intercept the goblins' reinforcements." Goblins are weak in combat, but their alchemy skills are indeed very high. This time, their support for the Blackstone Fortress is likely to be weapons such as alchemy magic cannons or alchemy golems. We can't be sure exactly what it is, but whether it's a magic cannon or an alchemy golem, it will greatly increase the difficulty of our attack on Blackstone Fortress. ”
Another teacher agreed: "I agree with Mr. Bogard's suggestion. And maybe we'll be able to capture that support. If it were a few hundred magic cannons, we would be able to capture the Blackstone Fortress in a very short time. ”
Terrence nodded slightly, in fact, before the matter was brought up for discussion, several of their deans had already made a decision. However, Terrence frowned and said, "However, we only have these people. The attack on Blackstone Fortress alone was already very tight, and there was really no more manpower to stop the goblins' support troops. ”
Another dean-level beautiful female mage also said, "Moreover, you must also guard against the undead legion that will come at any time. You don't think the undead are all there are skeletons, do you?"
Terrence nodded and continued, "Manpower is our biggest problem. And those natives also took advantage of us, so they dared to swagger to support the Blackstone Fortress. ”
At this point, all the teachers, including several deans, turned their heads to look at Neil. The words have been made clear, Neil's team of mages is the only man who has spare manpower now. And this task of blocking the goblin reinforcements should be Neil and their next.
However, Neil was staring blankly in front of him. At this time, he had already fallen into the deduction of a complicated alchemy formula, the alchemy formula that was interrupted by Gar Tulip. Neil couldn't help but think about it when he had an idea just now.
Seeing that Neil didn't say anything at all, Terrence's serious face couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment. I couldn't help but think in my heart: This kid is too faceless. It seems that it is time to talk to him properly. Although His Excellency Anse El wants me to take care of you, you must always give me face!
