138: Mage of Orehasteel

"I don't care, after all, it's your people who killed in Linfeng City."

"I'm just sorry, if the Heavenly Spirits of the fallen soldiers knew that their comrades didn't intend to avenge them, I wonder how they would feel?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the tent froze.

Alto's officers clenched their fists and glared at him.

But considering that he was a prison sent by Roderick, and he couldn't scold him to his face, he could only swallow his anger and keep his grievances in his heart.

"We will not forget their sacrifices."

"But war is not child's play, and it's not as simple as a tooth for a tooth.

"As commanders of the army, we have to be accountable to all the people in the army.

"Reducing our own casualties by developing better combat strategies – that's our responsibility, and that's what we're doing in our combat meetings."

"Of course, you're free to devise your strategy." Levi snorted, "I came here this time just to remind you of the task on your body again:

"Your Highness has decreed that no matter what the situation may be, you must cut off the transportation channel between Peak City and Flamelβ€”

"The meaning of this is that there is no fear of sacrifice, never retreat, and would rather fight every soldier than block the attack of Linfeng City, understand?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I understand. Ognang was silent for a moment, then said slowly.

Roderick's intention was to let them be cannon fodder, but Alto City had no choice.

Once he is satisfied, Roderick will immediately send a strong man to purge the management of Alto City, and not only the city lord but also his family will be pulled down.

Rather than end up in such a miserable end, it is better to take a gamble.

As for the rest of the matter, it can only be counted as one step at a time.

"Alto City will complete His Highness's mission."

"It's just that it's true that Peak City's combat power has exceeded our expectations, perhaps because they have recently produced a legendary alchemist.

"Ordinary alchemists don't need to be worried, but there are only four legendary alchemists in the entire empire, and we can't ignore the huge role he has played in Peak City.

"Therefore, if you intend to engage them head-on, I hope that our army will be able to crush Peak City in terms of top-notch extraordinary combat power......

"Your Excellency Levi, may I ask if Your Highness can send an additional eighth-order powerhouse to help us?"

No matter how magical the alchemy technique is, no matter how powerful the alchemy weapon is, it should not pose a threat to the eighth-order transcendent at present.

In other words, in the decisive battle of city-state forces, the final decision has to be the duel between the top transcendents.

And the only known top transcendent in Linfeng City is the eighth-order knight Ryan, and the same is true for Alto City, only he is Ogeron.

When the top combat power of the two sides is half a pound and two pounds and contains each other, it will be determined who has more advantages in the middle-level combat power and who can fight the opponent's subordinates first.

But if Alto City can dispatch two eighth-order transcendentals, they can directly crush Linfeng City from the level of top combat power......

Not to mention intercepting the transportation channel, it is not impossible to hit Linfeng City directly!

"Don't say such unrealistic things, the eighth-order powerhouses are all town-level treasures, not rotten street goods."

Rivi shook his head, "Your Highness's main attack direction is Flamel now, and most of our top combat forces are also gathered on the frontal battlefield over there.

"It's just guarding a remote transportation route, so how can we easily send them over?

"This is the same with Linfeng City, and the imperial capital will not waste its top combat power on the battlefield here.

"To put it bluntly, this is a close contest, Your Excellency Ogon, I believe that with your ability and the strength of Alto City, you should not be able to defeat the remote border city of Linfeng, right?"

Neck and neck...... Is it?

Ogion ignored Levi's last words and thought quickly of what to do.

Originally, the combat effectiveness of Linfeng City and Alto City was indeed half a catty, and no one could help anyone.

But now there is a legendary alchemist in Linfeng City, and the various alchemy weapons he invented are fatal to the threat of the army's mid-level and low-level combat power.

However, Alto City's side is not completely without advantages.

Although he didn't have the support of an eighth-order powerhouse, Roderick still sent a seventh-order mage Rivi to help.

And as far as he knew, there were no mages above the sixth order in Linfeng City.

High-level spells can induce obvious visions of heaven and earth, and the range of spells is also wider, so mages have a much greater impact on the battlefield situation than knights.

The addition of this seventh-order mage should be enough to smooth out the gap between the two sides caused by the new alchemy weapon.

"Your Excellency Levi, I remember that you are a seventh-order earth mage, right?" Ogion looked at the map of the Linfeng Mountains on the table and suddenly asked.

"Not bad." Levi said proudly, "I'm from the city of Orihasteel on the earth, and you've probably heard of it!" ”

Olihasteel is also a city in the south of the empire, where the people of the land are outstanding, not only has the largest iron ore production in the empire, but also raises a special ethnic group "Hagang clan".

Similar to the Wind Whisperers in Shattered Star City, most of the awakened mages of the Hagang Clan are Earth and Wood.

They can also be called the first in the empire in terms of the attainments of earth and wood spells.

"I've heard that when a geomage is located in a mountain range where the leylines are active, his strength increases dramatically."

Ogeron pondered, "Could it be that this is the reason why His Highness sent Your Excellency?" ”

"Exactly." "Whether it's the Orihasteel Mountains of my homeland or this Peak Mountains, they are the most active places in the Empire's leylines.

"When I first set foot in this area yesterday, I felt the same sense of home as I had come away from home for the first time in a long time.

"Here, I can fight with the power of the entire mountain range, and I am confident that no one below my rank can beat me.

"As long as you can stop Ryan in Peak City, who will be my opponent in Peak City?"

Fight with the power of the entire mountain range...... Ogeron's eyes flickered slightly:

"In that case, I have thought of a solution, I wonder if you can help me?"

"Tell me about it."

"Aren't earth mages good at transforming terrain, filling ditches and moving mountains? In that case, why do we need to block the transport roads with the army ourselves? ”

Ognon stroked his palms and said, "Your Excellency only needs to cast a little earth spell, whether it is to raise the rock wall to block it or directly destroy it, can't you cut off their transportation channel?"

"There are no mages in Linfeng City who are comparable to Your Excellency's strength, and they categorically can't stop Your Excellency's spell, so we can complete Your Highness's task without much effort!"

Having been able to achieve his goal, avoid a head-on battle, and reduce his own casualties, asking Revi to intervene was the best he could think of right now.

"Destroying the transportation channel with a land-based spell can indeed be done."

Levi thought for a moment, "However, this method has certain hidden dangers......"

"What's the problem?"

"Where the leylines are active, there must be powerful monsters inhabiting, and this is true of the Orehasteel Mountains, as well as the Linfeng Mountains."

Li Wei said solemnly, "When every Hagang people enter the mountain range to experience, they will definitely get the advice of their elders: remember to be humble to the Earth Mother, and whatever makes you grow will also perish."

"If we use the power of the earth to transform the earth at will, then in the end, we will eventually taste the bitter fruits of our own sowing and die in the wrath of Mother Earth."

Ogur raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency means...... Casting earth-based spells on a large scale here might alarm the high-level demonic beasts in the mountain range? ”

"Exactly." "The transportation corridor runs through the Linfeng Mountains, and in addition to the main road, there are various paths.

"If you want to destroy it all together to the point that the Linfeng army cannot repair it in a short time, you must do it with great fanfare.

"And the high-level demonic beasts in the mountain range are born from the rich leylines of this land, and they are especially sensitive to the shaking of the earth, and they will not allow others to offend the territory around them.

"At that time, not only will the Linfeng army send people to stop it, but even those high-level demonic beasts will also be alarmed......

"It's as vast as the Linfeng Mountain Range, and no one knows what powerful magical beasts are hidden in it, if you make a wrong move, I'm afraid there is a possibility that you will be eaten by it."

Ogeron didn't take Livi's warning seriously, but smiled instead: "That's just right, if you alarm the demonic beasts in the depths of the mountain range, the biggest headache is not us, but Linfeng City." ”

This area is close to Peak City instead of Alto City, and if the demonic beasts go wild because of this, it will only disturb the mountain assets in the Peak City area.

Linfeng City will definitely go to quell this turmoil, so that their forces will be dispersed, and the Alto City army can even take the opportunity to send troops to harass the Linfeng City army.

As for the worst-case scenario that Levi reminds of - the demonic beasts in the depths of the mountain range chase the Alto City troops...... He can accept this risk.

After all, if Alto City and Linfeng City go head-to-head, they will definitely lose a lot in the end.

The destruction of the passage caused a Warcraft riot, although it is possible to suffer a backlash.

However, Alto's army has another possibility, and can easily complete the task while conserving its strength.

After weighing the two, he certainly did not hesitate to choose the latter.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the wisdom of high-level demonic beasts is so high, it is aimed at the initiator of the leyline disorder......

The troublemaker is Rivi, what does it have to do with his Alto City army OVO

When the time comes, let's wait and see, if the momentum is really not good, hurry up and it's over.

Anyway, the road was destroyed, and the task was completed, and it was impossible for His Highness to punish Alto City for this.

Dead friends don't die and poor belong to yes.

Of course, Levi also knew that if he used this method, he would become the target of the Linfeng army and even high-level demonic beasts, and become the most dangerous person in this battle.

It's true that he is a prisoner, but he just wants the cannon fodder of Alto City to die first, but he doesn't want to put himself in such a big risk.

So after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head and said: "No, this method is not proper, Your Excellency should reformulate the battle plan." ”

A gleam flashed in Aogon's eyes, and he did not back down at this moment: "This is the battle plan that our army thinks is the most efficient way to complete the task."

"If Lord Levi thinks it's not right, tell us a better battle plan.

"Or ...... Your Excellency is not going to contribute, in the end we are the only ones who will not be afraid of sacrifice and will not retreat? ”

"You ......" Livi's voice suffocated, and then he said angrily, "I am loyal to Your Highness, and I don't want to spew blood!" ”

Roderick sent him on this mission alongside the Alto City army, both as an overseer and as a supporter.

If the battle is lost, and His Royal Highness blames him afterwards, and Augnon backhanded him with a pot of "neglecting the military situation" and "unfavorable support", then he will bear the main responsibility.

At that time, even if His Royal Highness sits on the throne, I am afraid that he will not be reused.

Just now, he wanted to use the radical method on the generals of Alto City, and deliberately put it on the line between his words, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Ognang would cleverly return the original words.

The boomerang that flew out ended up piercing itself.

"So, are you willing to take on this task for the sake of Your Highness's great cause?"

Augnon sneered in his heart, but said with a serious face, "If this plan is successful, I will definitely show Your Highness the credit of Your Excellency when I go back, saying that you have single-handedly blocked all their transportation channels."

"At that time, I think Your Highness will be satisfied, and Your Excellency's soaring will be just around the corner!"

His tone was very solemn, and he even had a sense of mission of "it's all up to you".

"This ......"

Levi was speechless, he saw that everyone in the tent was watching him, and for a moment he felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger.

"Don't worry." Ognang strikes while the iron is hot. "Our army will fully cooperate with your actions.

"No fear of sacrifice, never retreat, I would rather fight with all the soldiers than protect Your Excellency!"

This sentence is very touching, but at this time, he listens to it and responds to it.

But there doesn't seem to be a better way to do it now, Livi simply didn't do anything, stomped up, and said coldly:

"Hmph, in the end, it's up to me to make a move and give me the map!"

"Whoa." Ognang smiled and gave up his position.

"Here, here, and here, all of them are places where you need to help......"

After looking around the map, the two quickly determined the area where the spell would be cast, and Ogion added:

"The Linfeng army is menacing, I'm afraid that the night will be long and there will be many dreams, so please get ready and set off for battle immediately."

"I know!"

Levi took the map and walked out with his sleeves flicked up, "Keep up with me, a bunch of useless guys......"

Ogion watched his figure disappear outside the tent, and immediately restrained his smiling expression, lowered his head and spat a mouthful of phlegm:

"What kind of majesty are you talking to me, a fool of a fox and a tiger."

Ever since Levi arrived in Alto City, his attitude has been filled with a kind of arrogance from the great powers, from the high-ranking people.

In his eyes, he is a noble lord from Olihasteel, a confidant of His Royal Highness Roderick, and one of the few people closest to the supreme power of the empire.

And Alto City is just a small city with no name on the edge of Shattered Star City, and it can only be used as cannon fodder in the war, not to the point where he can look at it squarely.

But for the people of Alto City, why do they have to be called around by an outsider and drink without complaining, and shed dry blood for nothing?

If you want to supervise us, can your attitude be better!

So he killed Rivi and made him take the biggest risk of this mission.

"Let's go, let's go with us."

Ognon let out a sigh of relief, "Be careful, though...... It is good to provide support within the scope of our ability. ”

"Yes!"

The generals understood what he meant, and took orders one after another.

Ognang also stepped out of the tent, his eyes deep:

"Just let me see if the earth mage from Olihasteel is really as good as his voice......
