Chapter 375: When the Sun Rises, the Moment of Triumphant Return (1/3)
Two hours after the Battle of Seabreeze Valley.
The news of the defeat of the Ocean Legion and the casualties of more than 20,000 was transmitted back to Baisha City, and the whole city was shaken, and everyone in the five major families of Baisha was even more panicked.
The first feeling was disbelief.
According to a survey before the battle, the Storm Alliance had less than 10,000 men, while the Ocean Legion had 30,000.
With three to one, with a regular elite against a group of miscellaneous soldiers who were formed for less than two months, and also occupied the geographical advantage of the Sea Breeze Fortress, it was defeated!
Not to mention the defeat, even the fortress was occupied.
With the combat power pulling the crotch like this, what qualifications does Baisha City have to be known as the second largest city in the east?
What qualifications do the five great families have to covet the interests of Raging Waves City?
Whether you can protect yourself or not is a question.
As a result, the five major families, led by the Langley family, immediately convened a meeting of the White Sands League to discuss the next plan of action.
The venue was set up in the dark blue hall of the city lord's mansion in Baisha City.
All the decorations in the main hall are mainly dark blue, and there is a row of horizontal seats on the top platform, and there are five archmages on the upper seat.
The realm of these five archmages is not high, the lower four levels, the high seven levels, and none of them are peak archmages.
However, on his chest hangs the family crest created by the Immortal Aojin, representing his noble origins.
They are the patriarchs of the five major families in Baisha City, and they are also the five most powerful people in Baisha City.
In contrast, the Baisha City Lord, who was high in the eyes of the people, was not even qualified to enter the hall at this time.
Below the horizontal seat are two rows of vertical seats, one on the left and one on the right, and the archmage also sits on it, with 37 on the left and 36 on the right, almost filling the seats.
This group of people are also all archmages, and they are the pinnacle of existence among the 11 million people in White Sand City.
Among them, there are four peak archmages, and coincidentally, these four peak archmages are all minor nobles, or commoners.
Because if you want to obtain the achievement of the peak archmage, you must have strong talent support, and no matter how strong the support you are, it will be difficult to break through such a bottleneck.
As soon as everyone sat down, as soon as the meeting began, a level 2 archmage from the Green family shouted at the bottom of the hall.
"Why don't you apologize to the Mage Alliance first?!"
As soon as he heard this, there was a lot of discussion in the temple, but no one spoke out against it.
Although everyone thinks that the alliance will be a mud-legged club, and they look down on it in their hearts, who can let people fight?
The patriarch of the Langley family, and the current president of the Guild, Amidra. Lan slapped the table with force.
"What's the panic?!"
He is 45 years old this year, which is the age of his prime, and he is also a level 7 Ocean Archmage, the strongest Archmage among the direct members of the five major families.
His will was as strong as steel, and his eyes were full of azure light at this time.
"The Storm Alliance hasn't hit Baisha City yet, even if it does, my Baisha City's thirty-meter-high guard wall, is it an ornament?!"
As soon as he said this, the impetuous people's hearts calmed down a lot.
Amidra looked at her eldest son, Yuragon.
"Tell me about your battlefield investigations."
The handsome and dignified Yuragon got up from the last seat and walked to the middle of the main hall, his eyes looked around the crowd, and his eyes also showed a blue light, showing his incomparably strong mana.
When all the masters saw it, they were all surprised.
Someone asked, "Yuragon, have you broken through the master realm?" ”
Yuragon is only 29 this year, and he actually broke through the master's cliff, a year earlier than the Burning Sky Archmage back then, this talent is simply incredible.
If nothing else, it is likely to become a peak archmage in the future.
And the peak archmage from the five major families deserves to be the leader of the mages of Baisha City.
Yuragon smiled faintly: "It's just luck." ”
He immediately got straight to the point.
"After a careful and thorough investigation of the battlefield and the synthesis of all the surrounding information, I came to three conclusions."
"First, the reason why the Storm Alliance has such terrifying combat power is because they have introduced a new magic weapon called a gun."
"Second, the principle of this powerful combat weapon is to throw rune stones at high speed and high frequency. It originated in the Crescent Territory of the North and was invented by Baron Gold, now Lord Rosen of Moby Dick Island. ”
"Third, the Storm Alliance's guns and rune stones were all purchased from Moby Dick Island."
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately talked about it.
After a while, someone asked, "Then since it's a magic weapon, can we make it?" ”
Yuragon nodded.
"I can definitely make it, but I don't have any samples on hand at the moment, and I don't have a skilled enough refining mage. If you want to make a mature product, you have to explore it for at least a few months. ”
"And the threat of the battlefield is imminent, so I propose to urgently go to Moby Dick Island to buy a batch of guns and arm our Ocean Legion first."
As soon as the words fell, a person snorted coldly.
"We can buy it, and the Storm Alliance can definitely buy it."
"Then everyone buys this new magic weapon, and in the end, Lawson makes a lot of money, and we use the weapons he made to kill each other."
"If you want me to see it, it's better to form an elite, touch Moby Dick Island in the middle of the night, and blow up the magic workshop and alchemy mage on Moby Dick Island with spells, lest this guy from the north lie on us and suck blood!"
The person who spoke was not simple, his name was Godel, and although he was born in a commoner, he had the achievements of a peak archmage.
Many people nodded in agreement.
"Master Godel is right, you can't cheapen the kid from the north, you have to teach him a hard lesson, let him know that we people from the east are not easy to bully!"
"That's right!"
Peak Archmage Godel received support and turned his head to look at the high platform.
"Master Amidra, what do you think?!"
Alamede. Langley nodded slowly: "You are very reasonable, it is true that you can't let a person from the north make this kind of war money!" ”
Yuragon nodded in agreement.
"Then if you plan to do this, you must move quickly! Otherwise, with Master Lawson's shrewdness, he will definitely be on guard, and after a little time, it will definitely be difficult to do. ”
Another representative of the Green family asked, "What about the Storm Alliance in Seabreeze Fortress?" ”
Master Godel sneered.
"Didn't Yuragon say that this kind of gun needs rune stones to be powerful, and rune stones are consumables. When it runs out, the gun is useless. ”
"The Storm Alliance will definitely save money, and there is a high probability that they will not take the initiative to attack. So, let him occupy the Seabreeze Fortress first. ”
"Let's just get some sample guns and copy them. With the resources of my White Sand City, I can easily build thousands of guns, and when the time comes, it will not be easy to attack and snatch back the Seabreeze Fortress? ”
This made a lot of sense, and everyone nodded.
Yuragon didn't have a problem either, he added, "You have to make guns quickly, I'm sure Angry Waves City is also copying, and it's already ahead of us." ”
Hear this, Amidra. Langley and the other four patriarchs discussed in a low voice, and then finally made a decision.
"Then divide it into three lines."
"First, apologize to the alliance and stabilize the other party first."
"Second, immediately set up our own gun-making workshop and go all out to make guns!"
"Third, immediately form a mage raid legion and destroy the refining workshop on Moby Dick Island overnight."
Peak Archmage Godel immediately got up and walked to the center of the hall.
"Master Amidra, if you trust me, I will form a raid legion, bring a group of archmages, bring the endless mana core, go north tonight, and quietly raid Moby Dick Island in the early hours of the morning!"
Amidra smiled and praised loudly.
"Okay~ Master Godel, if this thing is done, you will not only be a hero of my White Sand City, but also a hero of the East! White Sands City will reward you for your contributions. ”
Godel's face was full of excitement, but there was some emotion in his heart.
Although he is a peak archmage, he is from a civilian background, and his family does not have many assets and members, and the future of his family is almost all on him.
Originally, with his magic achievements, he shouldn't have gone to the battlefield to fight hard.
But he still has some bottom line, and he didn't quietly kill his young wife for the sake of his future like the other three peak archmages, and instead became the son-in-law of the five major families.
Since he didn't marry the five major families to seek glory, he had to go to the battlefield to fight in exchange for glory.
For the happiness of his family and the future of his children, he decided to fight for it.
At this time, with the support of Amidra, he stood in the hall and said in a loud voice: "Who wants to go north to Moby Dick Island with me overnight?" ”
After shouting a few times, some people stood up sparsely, and a total of 13 archmages came out.
Among them, 3 were from minor nobles and 10 were from commoners, and the situation was similar to Goddell, and they all wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to give their families a chance.
As for the other fifty or so archmages, they were either from the five major families, or they were related to the five major families, and their lives were precious, so they naturally would not do such a dangerous thing of fighting for their lives.
Goddell wasn't surprised by this, and the 14 archmages sneaked up on each other overnight, which was enough to reduce the refining workshop in a small place like Moby Dick Island to ashes.
So he looked at Master Amidra on the high platform.
"Master, please give me the Endless Mana Core."
After the Endless Mana Core was announced, the nobles of the entire Golden Land were trying to build it, and the same was naturally true of White Sand City.
It just so happened that a vein of divine iron ore was found near Baisha City, so it was quickly mined and studied.
According to the shape that Lawson had shown, a group of refining masters pondered for months and made countless attempts, and finally accumulated some usable endless mana cores in one failure after another.
Although the performance is still far less than the Endless Mana Core announced by Lawson, it is already available.
The best performance also has 6 times the feedback, and the poor performance is about 3 times.
However, all of the Divine Iron Veins, all of the core crafting techniques, and the final finished core are in the hands of the five families.
Civilian mages don't talk about research, and they can't even see a single Fusa in Shentie every day.
But at this time, these civilian mages need to work hard, not to mention running overnight, and they have to blow up the workshop in the future, so they naturally have to give enough support.
Amidra quickly discussed with several surrounding patriarchs, and said, "We will give 1 Shentie core, and you and your group will take turns to use supplementary mana." ”
"Be careful not to damage the core."
It's not that I don't want to give more, but I really can't afford to give it.
In a few months, six usable Divine Iron Cores were created, one of which had excellent performance, and the rest were ordinary performance.
You can't give all six, can you?
If the mission fails and the core is lost, it will be a big loss.
But one is enough.
After all, in addition to the core, they will also bring many traditional magic weapons and take various combat potions, which is enough to cut off the strength of a group of archmages.
Godel nodded in gratitude.
"Thank you Master Langley for your support, when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be the moment of our triumphant return!"
From May 1st to 5th, there will be four shifts every day.
