Chapter Seventy-Three: Night Attack

The defenses of the Great Sage's Tower can be described as lax—in the eyes of outsiders.

The precedent of the aristocratic coalition attacking the tower also made people with a heart see some opportunities. The ability to distinguish between friend and foe in strategic magic sounds powerful and is actually really powerful, but according to the discussion on the forum, there is an obvious prelude, which is the activation of the arcane eye.

And in the Tower of the Great Sage for some reason—others don't know the inside story of the incomplete auxiliary materials, but they can probably guess it—the arcane eye can't be opened around the clock, and the big eye hanging on the top of the tower is a hint that the attack is about to begin. There is such a clear sign that the attacking side chooses to make a silent raid, which is the best tactic.

This was also the practice of the Marquis de Mesaroche.

In order to maintain concealment, he did not even allow his men to attack the town outside the tower first. I was afraid that the residents inside would report the news as soon as possible, disturbing the tower owner and making his plan to launch a surprise attack fail. Although the townspeople had no means to contact the tower master, even if they shouted, Lin would at most glance at them and continue to ignore them.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that as early as a large number of dark creatures appeared within the X-ten (10 km) territory of the Great Sage's Tower, the two girls hurriedly ran down to the second floor and broke into the open-air hot spring pool with the word 'in use'.

"Teacher, teacher, there are many, many people who have broken in and don't know what to do."

Lin, who was bare-bottomed, looked helplessly at Halumi, whose eyes were shining, and Harumi, who was excited, and Kaya, who had a pair of dead fish eyes and was so calm that it made people's scalps tingle. Silently sat back in the bath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Lin lowered his voice and said, "Maybe they're just passing by." ”

"Oh, just passing by. But looking at the markings on the monitoring map, many of them are creature characters specially marked by the teacher. ”

Each species emits a slightly different wavelength of aura. If it is a creature that belongs to the magic side, the proportion of the eight mana powers in the body will also have its own emphasis, so that a fingerprint-like distinguishability is formed. Lin also made a rough distinction between the observation targets according to race. It cannot be called accurate or inaccurate, because not enough samples are now being observed.

The group of specially marked dangerous creatures is the vampire who tried to assassinate the owner of the magic tower before, Bo has the legendary title of 'God Slayer'. At the upper and lower ends of the food chain, Lin Ke never thought of living peacefully with vampires. As for having a ghost love affair with a vampire princess, Lin admits that he is not as handsome as Ning Caichen.

With a wave of his hand, he pulled out a water mirror by the pool, and Lin used the tower master authority to call out the monitoring map in Harumi's mouth. With a few commands, the suspected enemies who invaded the tower territory were counted once, totaling nine hundred and seventy-one. Among them, there are 233 people who should belong to the vampire race, and the rest of the unknown race are seen for the first time. It can only be roughly observed, and they are divided into three broad categories.

Want to open the Arcane Eye, do you want to make sure? Lin pondered in his heart for a while, and then instructed the two apprentices: "You go back to the core room to prepare first, and I will arrive later." If there is an accident, attack directly, do not hesitate. Until then, don't make any noise to the outside world. If the other party is really just passing by, it will be treated as if they didn't see it. ”

"Yes, teacher." Despite this answer, the two girls squatted by the pool, not planning to leave. Lin Ke unceremoniously reached out and pushed the water, and shouted at the same time: "Get out!" Splashing the two dead girls all over their bodies made them reluctant to leave.

Damn, these two Nizi are getting more and more lawless. After the two dogs had spoken once, they did not dare to set foot in this holy place; Why these two girls, no matter what they say, they don't listen to anything, they are worse than dogs.

Speaking of those two dogs, they were useless in the previous conflicts. In order to save trouble and avoid distractions and worries, they have long been sent away. And what about this time? Calling up the surveillance footage outside the tower, Lin saw two dogs sleeping with their stomachs turned and one tongue hanging from their mouths under the shed. Look at that fat body, it should be ready to stew.

In the eyes of the attacking side, the Tower of the Great Sage was still silent. The Marquis of Mezaros looked at the dark alliance in front of him, in addition to being loyal to his clan, there were also the transformed werewolves of the servant army, the dark elves and gray dwarves who were allies. There are nearly a thousand people, but the individual strength is high, and it is still effortless to deal with the human army, with one enemy and ten.

And this coalition is not a rabble. Several expeditions in the underworld, as well as plundering on the ground, under their own command, they are quite familiar with cooperative tactics. If it weren't for the sharp drop in prestige this time, in order to keep it secret, only select enough loyal people to go on the expedition, otherwise he would have been able to organize a larger army and crush this inconspicuous little tower.

Now the leaders of all clans have a magic scroll that shakes the earth and mountains, and they are ready to be surrounded in all directions. According to the plan, there is no need to test or feint, just go all out. Four earth-shaking spells were activated at the same time, and even if the tower didn't turn into a mound of earth, it would have to collapse in half.

As for the magicians inside, they have to be brought back to serve as blood slaves, torturing and sucking blood every day. Let those bastards who despise themselves understand that the majesty of an ancient man is not to be taken lightly.

The Marquis de Mezaros opens the forum's water mirror, and in a private discussion section, constantly presses the 'Reorganize' icon to refresh the page. Other people left messages one after another, indicating that the team had been brought to the position.

The Marquis thought to himself, perhaps the tower master never thought that the magic he had researched would be the best tool in this raid. As long as you can capture that damn guy alive, I'm sure I'll tell him about it, and see what kind of remorse the man will have.

In fact, if he had the opportunity to say these things to someone, someone would answer him: that's why no matter how deep the grudge is, he hasn't made any software like Instant Messaging. There are great reasons for the project, but more importantly, it will once again turn the world upside down, especially in the field of war. For a traverser, it is an uncontrollable factor and is best avoided.

While the Marquis of Mesaros waited for the coalition forces to move to position and hide his whereabouts through the woods, Lin put on his robe and walked slowly back to the core room, rubbing his still wet hair indiscriminately. He thought to himself, is it better to learn the Earth Age again, shave this hair into a board size, or even straighten it directly. That would be a lot easier to tidy up.

The two girls sat in the special computer chair at the same time, one and a half, and were spinning around boredly. After Lin entered the door, he casually asked, "Are those people gone?" ”

"No, we're going to be surrounded." The girl who stopped spinning happened to be Kaya facing the surveillance map, so she reached out and pointed. Harumi replied from behind, in a flat tone, not at all regarding the enemy from outside as a threat.

Throwing the towel that wiped the hair on the heads of the two girls, just enough to cover it, Lin looked at the distribution of the creatures on the map. The enemy was divided into four parts, and it seemed that they wanted to encircle the Great Sage's Tower in four directions: east, west, north, south. And the farthest part, still marching in the woods.

Because the people were already at the edge of the woods, Lin turned on the surveillance screen outside the tower to see if he could identify the enemy.

The full moon in the sky is bright. However, under the shade of the trees, only black shadows shuttle through the forest, and it is difficult to distinguish the identity and race of the shadows. The branches swayed lightly, as if you could hear the sound of sighing. They are agile and fast, and they should not be some new recruits who have not been on the battlefield. It seems true that the individual strength of dark creatures is on average higher than that of humans.

As the first direction to arrive, the group of light spots that did not move anymore was the vampire department with a red letter warning. They occupy the east side, and it looks like they want to take the core room on the third floor from the gap outside the tower.

I thought they would move quickly and attack in silence. Unexpectedly, after the four parts were moved to the fixed point, they remained silent and waited. And there is nothing unusual on the surveillance screen, just like the night of countless days in the past, the trees sway in the wind, and the branches and leaves sway gently.

Lin touched his chin with a bit of stubble, thinking about the other party's intentions. Knowing that I'm going to be observing astronomy at night, I plan to attack while I'm exposed and I'm not in front of the core room console. In other words, they were sure to make a time difference and enter the tower before they ran back to the console to activate the magic array; Or even me who was directly captured alive and exposed?

After thinking for a while, Lin picked up the helmet that controlled the three-dimensional imaging. As soon as you put them on, the mask-type goggles pop up a long list of menus. There are a lot of pre-recorded action patterns on it, which were originally used to deceive enemies with clones, and it happens to be used at this time.

While controlling the clone, the body can also do different actions, but that is ultimately a double purpose. Lin Ye is just a magician who has been transferred from a fat house, not a master such as Zhou Botong, Guo Jing, and Xiaolongnu, and the result of single-mindedness is that whether it is the body or the clone, there will be some incongruous situations, which will inevitably make people see the flaws.

Therefore, for some conventional actions, the clone can be reproduced like a video playback. And walking out of the portal on the third floor and coming to the astronomical telescope to probe and gaze at the stars, such a set of actions is the doppelganger of the video.

Sure enough, while the tower's owner, Gabrash Tripwood, was concentrating on observing the celestial phenomena, the enemy from all sides attacked. There was no whistling, no shouting to kill, just a model of night attack operations with horses picking bells and people taking up their titles. The beautiful attack of the quartet, Lin Duan sat in front of the console, watching the monitoring map and picture, and couldn't help but be sincerely admired.

At this time, Lin saw the appearance of the other three forces from the picture. There are gray dwarves with short legs, werewolves with hairy bodies and a wolf's head, and dark-skinned people with pointy-eared ears.

Looking at the leaders in the four directions, the magic aura in his hands rippled. On the monitoring map, you can also see that the colors of the light spots at the tips of the four directions are also deepening, which means that the huge mana power is condensing, which suddenly makes Lin's sense of crisis greatly increased.

In any case, the enemy should not be allowed to cast spells easily, which is one of the most important rules of battle between mages. This applies to enemies who are ready to use the Magic Scroll.
