478 Army Facing the Sacred Mountain (1/2)
Suval's face turned ashen. He was speechless. He had come up with this plan to discreetly strike a blow against the Merlin Family was an idea he had come up with at the last moment. How could Harren at the Dark Moon Fort know of it? The young mage's sentence was a simple question, which normally wouldn't make Suval lose his bearings.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
But this sentence poked at Suval's sore spot... It felt like he was being threatened with Sir Harren. Suval clearly remembered when Harren had reprimanded him and strictly warned him over two months ago. He would only be able to f*ck off back to the Holy Land if he provoked Mafa Merlin now.
”Haha, I think we should forget this matter…” Weiss saw that the situation was taking a turn for the worse and immediately interjected, a smile on his face. ”After all, this collaboration is based on the premise that both sides are equal. It wouldn't be good if one person from one force held the power to command both sides…”
After saying that, Weiss suddenly felt Suval's murderous look. But he didn't care. Harren had told him before leaving that after eliminating the Thawing Fire Tribe, Suval probably wouldn't remain in the Raging Flame Plane.
In fact, Weiss didn't have much of a choice in the matter either.
Harren had told him that a Heaven Rank powerhouse was most likely standing behind the young mage and that the Black Tower couldn't rashly provoke such a person. Although Weiss and Suval didn't have a peaceful relationship, he was still a member of the Black Tower. If Suval did anything too excessive and angered the Heaven Rank powerhouse behind the young mage, the Black Tower would definitely be in trouble.
The meeting went on for over three hours. Thorne and Weiss discussed the deployment of troops and other details, but Thorne was worrying quite a bit. From time to time, he would glance at the young mage from the corners of his eyes. He suddenly felt that this youth seemed more and more mysterious.
At first, the young mage came to the Raging Flame Plane and made some absurd moves that he had considered unacceptable, especially when he took over five hundred Great Mages near the Ghost Valley. Thorne had been sneering back then, thinking that the young mage was courting death by thinking he could make a move on the Ghost Valley with this many troops.
But it didn't last long... It was like a loud and resounding slap. The young mage used some unknown methods to set up a collaboration with the Black Tower in order to eliminate the Thawing Fire Tribe and control the Ghost Valley.
What happened in the meeting earlier was even more unimaginable. Suval, an overbearing Representative of the Black Tower, wanted the right to command the Merlin Family Planar Legion, and due to Suval's status and strength, Thorne couldn't refuse. But when it seemed that Suval had succeeded, the young mage said a simple sentence which shut up the 7th Rank Archmage and had Weiss intervene to mediate the situation, settling this disturbance.
Thorne was still in disbelief. That was Suval, after all! Not many people in Okland would dare to offend him, yet the young mage scared him off with a simple sentence.
What had happened…?
Not only was Suval tyrannically strong, but he also had a colossus standing behind him, one of the two greatest mage forces of the kingdom, the Black Tower. But Thorne clearly saw that the domineering Suval drew back after the young mage's words and couldn't even come up with a response.
At this time, his expression was extremely complicated as he looked at the young mage.
With the end of the meeting, the allied army went through some reorganization and was deployed at the foot of the Sacred Mountain, finally meeting the Thawing Fire Tribe's main forces. Raging Flame Beastmen were spread everywhere in front of them, riding on Ashen Wolves or flying in circles on blazing Wyverns. There were also countless Flame Elementals, mostly Flame Crows covering the sky.
This battle lasted over ten hours. When the last Raging Flame Beastman fell, the allied army ended up victorious, even though they paid a heavy price. The annihilated Beastman Army had over ten Beastman Mages equivalent to Archmage powerhouses, as well as five Prophets, including the Great Prophet.
There were six Prophets in the Thawing Fire Tribe, and they were like a Council with the Great Prophet at their head. At the battle at the foot of the Sacred Mountain, the Thawing Fire Tribe lost five Prophets, and even the strongest Great Prophet had died in battle. The Thawing Fire Tribe was done for.
But... that mysterious Tribal Chief had never appeared.
Once the army cleared up the battlefield, they found vacant land at the bottom of the Sacred Mountain and pitched camp there, spending the day resting and regrouping. Weiss rushed to Lin Yun's living quarters and invited him to proceed towards the Sacred Mountain with him.
Lin Yun definitely had to go to the Sacred Mountain. Just the legend Yass talked about was worth taking a trip for him. Perhaps the only way for him to easily remove the defensive power around the Raising Dragon Array would be to find that thing he had talked about.
As for why the Black Tower was so interested in going to the Sacred Mountain, Lin Yun could easily guess.
