Chapter 519: Conclave of Mages (1/2)
In the tallest tower of the white city, several mages were currently having a heated discussion.
”Are you satisfied with your work, Magus Olodel?!”
”Have you looked outside for once and marvelled at your own handcraft?!” A beautiful lady in a sexy lavender gown was amongst the loudest souls in this private sanctum.
Others backed her words up and also voiced their opinions on the matter.
”You should know shame Magus Olodel and step down from your position of High Magus of Ivory City at once!”
”You are a disgrace to our name, Magus Olodel!”
”The Conclave of Mages will definitely not forgive you for what you've done!” The insulting words continued but the one on the hot seat remained calm through it all.
It did not take long for the gathered mages to run out of words to say. And it was also at this time when Magus Olodel finally uttered his first words in the meeting.
”What would you have done then in my place, Magus Silvana?” Magus Olodel asked the primary instigator of this whole affair, the beautiful lady in a sexy lavender gown.
”Anything else but that! You summoned billions of mortals from 2 worlds and they are now suffering because of your lunacy!” Magus Silvana countered with an impassioned speech.
”Wrong. You are wrong, Magus Silvana.”
”Those people are suffering because of our weakness.”
”If we could only defend this city with our power then I would not have resorted to this extreme sacrifice and waste of lives.” Magus Olodel said in a composed voice.
This city was beset by a strong orc horde from beyond the seas. Many mortal cities had fallen before this legion of orcs arrived finally in Ivory City.
They had tried to defend at first and even made an assassination attempt towards the leaders of these wild savages.
Alas, of the 10 mage team that participated in the quest, three level 9 mages have paid with their lives in the aftermath. And the 7 that returned accrued terrible injuries in their bodies.
The Orc Warlord that led this expedition of conquest possessed an unmatched strength and this truth was giving these mages some major headaches in consequence.
”We should have just waited for the help that was coming from the Conclave of Mages!”
”You did not need to do this kind of atrocity at all!” Magus Silvana remained emotional through it all. The bloody scene outside has made her nauseous and angry at the same time.
”It has already been a month, Magus Silvana.”
”No help would come from the Conclave!” Magus Olodel stated harshly. This was the only time that he raised his voice since this meeting started.
He had done his first world summoning last month and almost 8 billion souls perished in that duration.
Today, Magus Olodel made his 2nd summons and there was not a shadow of the Conclave of Mages anywhere in the city of Ivory.
Nevertheless, he was sure that myriad spies of the nearby influences were present in the edges of this large scale war.
It seemed like everyone else was waiting on how the mages of Ivory would face these mighty conquerors from beyond the sea.
”What are we going to do? We can't let this continue.” Magus Silvana was visibly shaken at this time.
She had full faith in the Conclave and she tried to fight her doubts from rising up but alas, the brutal massacre outside the city walls had absolutely shaken her belief in the organization that nurtured all of them mages.
No help was coming for them, Silvana was heartbroken at this time.
”We shall remain doing what we can.”
”A few of the mortals have been gifted by myriad powers as they passed through the summoning circle.”
