Siegel can't say he's a combat-savvy person, but at least he learned something about the battlefield through his studies. Through the analysis of the current situation, he can see that the entire battle situation is irretrievable.

The orcs have taken over the village outside the castle, demolishing all the houses and clearing the sector for an attack. The rivers and seas are also full of orc ships, and it is difficult for humans to fly with wings. But even with this advantage, the orcs are still building engineering equipment, and patrolling is not relaxed at all. Just a moment ago, several detective spells swept past Siegel's hiding place.

"Can a Sage be directly involved in a war?" Siegel pinched his chin and thought for a moment, "How come I haven't heard of such a war?"

"We Sages will not attack directly, unless the temple is attacked, fought with another Sage, or directly provoked. Chanem explains: "It's just a tacit agreement, not a restrictive rule. Even if the Orc Sage slaughtered the entire city, he would not receive any additional losses. ”

"You have an idea. Siegel crossed his arms, looked at Chanem and said, "As a saint of the god of murder, if your layout ability can't solve the current predicament, then there is really no good way. ”

Chanem smiled and shook his head: "There is no need for any layout, this matter is easy to solve, we can just wait." In a few days, the orcs will take over the city, and the battle will be over. At that point, you and I will be able to start looking for things more calmly. ”

"You can't do that. Siegel knew Chanem was perfunctory.

"You want me to get rid of the orcs, do you?" chanem snorted. "In my opinion, it is the quicker way to deal with the human defenders, and it is none of my business who owns the castle. It has nothing to do with our purpose. Siegel. I advise you not to get your feelings into this matter. Because that would hurt my interests. ”

To be fair, Chanem's words are not wrong. Aside from his human compassion, Siegel is not responsible to the human inhabitants of Blackwater. They were neither his people nor had they asked him for help, and it was easy for Riele to get his attention by making a move here, causing the mission to fall short.

If the castle was surrounded by just ordinary bandits, without orc priests and saints, things would not be so troublesome. But the situation at hand is not something that can be solved by one or two spells. Even going all out won't always be able to settle it. Siegel looked at the orc camp, which was heavily defended, and no one other than Chanem could find enough to infiltrate it. But once the magic is used, it will immediately attract the attention of the orc priests. Even if Siegel summons a meteor to smash it down, as long as someone on the opposite side can cast an anti-magic force field, it can easily neutralize the threat of the attack spell.

It's not impossible to be quiet, and it's a safer way to set up a Knox Commonal-style circle and gradually incapacitate the orc army. However, this method is not without its flaws: orc sages are not affected by psychic effects. And the magic fluctuations emitted by the Knox circle are so characteristic that they are easily reminiscent of the mages of the Federation and Siegel.

"You can't save them. Unless you abandon your covert actions and lure Riele the Master of Prophecy over. Chanem said to Siegel: "Don't be too confident and think you can solve everything. That's a kind of unwarranted pride, and it's a source of failure. It's good if you can do one thing at a time, but it's impossible to do it all. ”

Siegel sighed deeply and crouched on the ground with his head in his hands. He didn't give up, he was still writing and drawing on the ground, calculating the trend of the battle.

"Don't waste your energy, your wits and computing power won't solve all problems, especially if it is related to orcs. For a guy like the Orc Sage, unless you fight and defeat him, he will never give up the attack. ”

"I want to help the people inside. ”

"I still want to be the god of murder, to be a god!" Chanem sneered, "Wake up! At that time, you will not only face an opponent of the Orc Sage. If the plan fails to bring in Liel, then I will be very angry and will kill the whole town to vent my anger. You'd better be able to weigh the dangers of intervening in the war, and don't let a momentary kindness lead to a bigger disaster. ”

Siegel looked at Chanem and knew he wasn't joking. By locating the Ring, they were very close to the Divine Fire, at least much narrower than the range Chanem had already begun to seek. Even if the two parted ways at this time, Chanem was confident that he would find out the power of the magic god.

"Of course, there is another possibility. Chanem said, "Maybe the fire left behind by the god of magic and prophecy is not in the castle, or maybe the battle in the castle has no effect on the search for the fire." If that's the case, the sooner you complete the mission, the better your chances of saving the people of the city. ”

This may be true, or it may just be an excuse to comfort and deceive Siegel. But as a mortal, how many choices does he have? After hesitating for a while, Siegel nodded: "There is hope only when you take action, and there is no point in waiting." ”

The two men began to walk around the perimeter of the battlefield, and at intervals, Siegel would stop and cast a positioning spell. However, this spell is only to continue to deceive Chanem, and it has always been the Lord of the Rings that has really worked.

They turned from one coast to the other, and the direction indicated by the Lord of the Rings was always within the castle. After establishing this, both Siegel and Chanem found things to look weird. Whether it's topographical, topography, or strategy, Blackwater Bay isn't anything special, so why did the magic god choose this place as a place to hide his divine powers?

"I need you to make a trip to the orc camp to inquire about something. Siegel still doesn't give up on the idea of rescuing the castle, but he also knows that he has to take a more tactful approach. "It's such a small castle, and it's not a commercial place, why do the orcs spend so much effort to attack?"

Chanem wasn't stupid either, and he knew that this question would help him with action after a little thought, so he didn't resist. The two men agreed on a meeting place, and Chanem turned into a shadow and swept towards the orc camp. A group of orc soldiers was cutting wood nearby, and they didn't feel like they had one more.

Naturally, Siegel doesn't sit still. He came to the back of a low hillside, just enough to block his view from the orc camp. What he has to do is very complex, but it is only through such complex means that he can achieve his goal.

Siegel dug an earthworm out of the dirt, set it aside, and wrapped a magic crystal nucleus in the wet mud he had just dug up. He then placed the clay pill in the palm of his hand and rubbed it while reciting the mantra. Soon, this mud pill gradually became smaller, and the magic crystal nucleus inside was crushed and reassembled many times.

He casts a spell on the mud pill, making the crystal nucleus the carrier of the spell. He then brought the earthworm over and used a spell to control his movements, allowing it to devour the mud pellet, which was no longer the size of a needle.

The earthworm felt unwell, and it was unable to digest the magic crystal nucleus. Since the Crystal Nucleus originally grew in the rabbit's brain, it can exist in the living body for a long time without being excreted.

The Crystal Core became the first vehicle to store the teleportation spell, followed by the Earthworm. Siegel uses a spell to lure a flock of birds and cut the earthworms into pieces and feed them to them.

Flocks of birds flew into the sky, and they flew towards the Star King City with a message to the Federation. The Royal Mage is on top of the magic ship, and if the information can reach them, then there is a possibility that the tide of the battle can be reversed.

"Over there, over there, someone's working magic!"

More than a dozen elite orc warriors ran towards the hillock where Siegel was hiding with a stumble of paces and dust. They carried hideous machetes in their hands, and the blood stains left by the slashing battle had long since fused with steel. With only a few warriors, it's easy to deal with, but there is an orc priest who follows, which gives them some resistance to spells.

Whether it's the Death Mantra or the Mass Death Emblem, Siegel can put these orc patrols at bay, but the ones that follow can cause a series of troubles. How did these orcs die, who could kill a team of warriors so quickly, and who had such superb spell-casting ability? This is bound to make the orc sage interested, and sooner or later the mage will be entangled on the battlefield.

"I didn't expect it to come so quickly, why are the orcs nervous?" Siegel moved quickly with elven steps, retreating a little farther away to watch. "Obviously, the battle situation is all about advantages, even if you have to guard against human reinforcements, there shouldn't be such a noise around the camp. Especially the orcs, where can there be such good military discipline, even if there are orc saints and multiple priests, it should not be so strict. What the hell are they guarding against?"

The group of orc soldiers arrived at the location where Siegel was casting the spell, and when they saw the footprints on the ground, they searched everywhere. When they moved, the three of them formed a group, two orcs watched the ground, and one always looked around. The orc priests also held their staffs alof, praying while searching with divine magic.

They are destined to be in vain, and they will be confused by the footprints left by Siegel. There were human footprints, deep, flat marks left by dwarven warfare, and elven toe marks that were extremely difficult to find. "An elite squad!" the orc priest judged, "there are short-legged dwarves, and this group must not have gone far." Watch out for their caster, he must have erased the trail! Call the wolf hunters, we need dog noses!" )
