$1200 Tragic

The seventeen lords all asked ordinary humans within their territories to participate, and set up three three-dimensional defense lines around the Talite Mountains, lest the monsters in the Talite Mountains escape.

Due to the shortage of manpower and the order from the Supreme Council of the Tower Land, which had to be completed within half a month, it was not known which lord came up with such a destructive method as setting fire to the mountain.

This is no longer a simple hunt or a cleanup, but a one-sided massacre.

The fire that ignited from the outside of the Talite Mountains spread rapidly due to the control of the wizards. Before the monsters settled in the Talite Mountains could make any response, they were already in despair.

The Heilans family, whose head had only reached the peak of the second-level wizard, had more than 30% of the people in the territory be threatened, and almost all adult men were distributed with armors and weapons to assist in defense and blockade.

Although the Heilans family's own strength is not outstanding among these lord families, they are lucky enough to have a large number of ordinary people in their vast territory, so the section of defense they are responsible for can achieve perfect defense.

As for the McIll family, which occupies the northwest side of the Talite Mountains, although its family is quite powerful, it has always been aloof and unwilling to include ordinary humans into its territory. Therefore, during this joint hunting operation, Zhongbian suffered irreparable trauma.

Because there was still plenty of time, Raymond, who did not leave immediately, followed Ferril, the patriarch of the Hylans family, to patrol and observe along the defense line he was responsible for.

And Ferrier, who realized that Raymond had no ill intentions but was unable to judge his strength, recounted everything that had happened in the past few days. "Lord Raymond, the McEauer family launched a siege two days ago. However, there were many powerful monsters in the area they were responsible for, so in the end, before other lords brought people over to help defend, the family spent seven The cost of serious injuries and the death of three people..."

A raging mountain fire. Under the control of the wizards, it was no longer possible to control it, and the 100-meter-wide line of fire quickly rushed towards the ridge of the Talite Mountains.

Standing on the head of the iron-spine bird, Raymond narrowed his sight distance and could vaguely see the herd of beasts fleeing towards the ridge after his sight penetrated the billowing smoke.

The words "Wolf running and Wolf running" can no longer be used to describe this scene. Warcraft or wild beasts of varying sizes, large and small, gathered in panic on the narrow mountain road and fled towards the ridge.

Occasionally, those who wanted to turn back and rush towards the line of fire in an attempt to break through and escape to the southern foot of the Talite Mountains would be driven away by the wizards of the Helans family who maintained suppression in the air. In the end, most of them had to turn back and continue to flee towards the ridge.

The wizards of the Heilans family, who rode white-headed griffons in groups of three or two, only needed to slightly impede the speed of these monsters to make the hundred-meter-wide fire line an insurmountable chasm for them. As long as those who rushed into it A monster without fire resistance. All will be burned to death.

Even if there are slightly stronger monsters that are not afraid of the scorching mountain fires, they can't resist the concentrated fire attack of the wizards of the Hailansi family. On the contrary, they can allow the Hailansi family to harvest in advance and weaken the family's power on the ridge. The monsters faced above counterattacked.

The shrill and desperate howl was accompanied by the crackling sound in the mountain fire. Everything in front of him felt like he was in a fiery prison, extremely tragic.

A death monster with charred skin and withered flesh. Will be deliberately removed from the herd. Then they were sent out for processing.

Raymond, who was following Ferrier, the patriarch of the Heilans family, around, witnessed the tragic scene before him, and his mood became heavier and heavier. Ferrier beside him also knew the reason, but he understood the fundamentals of his family. Powerless to resist the orders of the High Council of the Towerlands.

What's more, this extermination campaign was carried out jointly by seventeen lords. If any family dared to let go. If you think about it, you will immediately be attacked by a group. No family is willing or able to bear the disaster of annihilation.

"Although the value of these magical beasts is quite high, there are also countless other resources produced by the entire Talite Mountains..."

Ferrier's sigh made Raymond's expression become even more indifferent. Looking at the final massacre that had unfolded on the ridge on the west side, Raymond, who was filled with rage, knew that he had nowhere to vent.

But that kind of depression made him uncomfortable, so he started to ridicule after a while. "Within ten years, the entire Talite Mountains will be barren of grass. A hundred years from now, there won't be any magical beasts. Thousands of years of reproduction and breeding will be completely destroyed in a few days. I don't know if these ten years will last." Where is the future of the seven lord families!"

"The future? Haha...the future..." Ferrier smiled bitterly, then looked around before continuing. "If the Supreme Council's plan can succeed, I think such worries will no longer exist. But if the Supreme Council's plan fails or is delayed indefinitely, I think the only way for the family to move south is..."

After hearing this, Raymond couldn't help but become more and more annoyed. He turned around and pointed at the ordinary humans on the south side of the fire line who were wearing half-armor and holding up spears and even farm sickles. "Your family can leave, but what about the ordinary people in your territory?"

Ferril was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but in the end he tightened his mouth tightly, and his expression became a little struggling.

Although Raymond couldn't guess the specific content of the action that the Supreme Council was planning, the resource-raising behavior similar to the extinction-level action in front of him was obviously putting everything on the entire plane!

So after considering his words, he slowed down his tone. "Ordinary people are the foundation of the wizard class. If they lose their existence and want to rely solely on the wizard class itself, then the entire plane will face great risks! Why does the Supreme Council bet on the future of all wizards!"

"Why? Just because of the name of the Supreme Council of the Tower Land, just because they have the most powerful expeditionary corps in the entire plane! Just because of the authority of the Supreme Speaker!"

Huilir, who suddenly became excited, pointed at the ordinary people on the south side of the fire line and roared in anger. "All these people are from the family territory. Most of them have served the Sealans family for hundreds of years. Although none of them have the potential to become wizards, they are all living people! Humans like me!"

"Lord Raymond, look at the group of people in the middle. Although they are just ordinary people, there are my uncle and three distant nephews among them..."

"Look over there, that big man who is more than two meters tall. He is my uncle. Although no one in his family has the potential to become a wizard, his ancestors were also the elite of my family two hundred years ago..."

"Also, on the west side of the last line of defense, those women who are peeling off the heart core of the monster are also relatives of the Sealans family. They are all my compatriots..."

The patriarch of the Sealans family, Huilier, seemed to have suddenly collapsed, his eyes were red and his fists were clenched, letting the tears flow out and drip down his cheeks.

I didn't expect that my sighs and accusations would make this extraordinary middle-aged wizard like this. Raymond, who felt that he had misunderstood him before, couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Huilier quickly wiped away his tears, raised his hand and pointed to the ridge on the west side of the Talite Mountains, and said to Raymond. "Look there, that is the area that the McOel family needs to clear. The family wizards in their family were seriously injured and killed before, but in fact, the blood relatives in their territory also suffered heavy casualties in the previous beast tide counterattack. No less than 300 people were swallowed by the beast tide, and no bones were left..."

Raymond turned his eyes to the area where the McOel family was located. He could clearly see large groups of dead monsters under the concentrated fire attack, and those wizards with red eyes gathered around the ridge seemed to be desperate, pouring down various spells, making the various corpses on the ridge pile up higher and higher, until they collapsed and fell into the sea of ​​fire below the ridge...
