Chapter 1060: Follow-Up to Tower of the Great Sage
"Hey, old guy, is there something I've overlooked? Can you give me a hint?" Faced with such a fierce reaction from his old brother, Emperor Armin pinched the bridge of his nose and asked.
Mr. Kawei also readily gave tips. Or rather, that's the answer. "Tower of the Great Sage."
The old emperor was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cursed: "You damn piece of shit, he modified that tower!"
With a solemn look on his face, Duke Kawei nodded.
Southwest of the Mysterious Land, the sequel to the Tower of the Great Sage is not widely circulated among adventurers. Basically, outside of the southwest, no one cares about the changes caused by a magic tower. But among the noble lords and within the Magician Association, this tower can be said to have caused an uproar.
After Lin and his group left the Xijia District in the southwest of Midland, within a few years, the Xijia District Branch of the Magicians Association ushered in another wave of changes. The reason was that the president, who had only been in office for a few years, died on the belly of his beautiful female disciple.
Whether the murder was an accident or deliberate, no one investigated. However, the Cadiz District Chapter, which was originally suppressed by the Sijia District, took advantage of the situation. The candidate it supported took over the throne of the successor president in one fell swoop, and its affiliated forces even controlled the strongest and weakest among the four southwest districts of Midi. Two divisions have great power.
After taking power, it is inevitable to clean up the restless noise within. Even if his life is not taken, he must hand over his important position and replace it with a new president or someone who can be trusted by the forces behind him. Everyone's eyes were focused on the Tower of the Great Sage, a magic tower whose master was the disciple of the former president.
Perhaps the former tower owner of the Great Sage's Tower was too ready to allow the association to hand over the power of the magic tower with just a piece of paper, which made other people think that with such an important weapon, the tower owner must have an overall view and be willing to do so. Cooperating with the strategic layout and arrangements of the Magician Association, but being blind enough to ignore the conspiracy behind it. So the new president issued another document, requiring the current tower owner to hand over the Tower of the Great Sage unconditionally.
Then, he was rejected...
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office. There is no such thing as a mysterious saying, but its truth is equally universal. How could the new president allow a magician to disobey his authority within the area under his jurisdiction? So he sent out five teams of inspectors, half a squadron of troops, and forcefully demanded that the current tower owner of the Tower of the Great Sage cooperate with the association, otherwise he would be shot for crimes against humanity!
Then, all five inspector teams died...
Only then did people recall the illustrious reputation of the Tower of the Great Sage. In the past, the decline of the Cadiz District Chapter and the prosperity of Sijia District were all related to this tower.
If the person who died was an ordinary adventurer, as long as the owner of the magic tower had a justifiable reason, the association would probably be vague and would not take any action against the tower owner. But the person who died represented the Magician Association, supervising the behavior and criminal misdeeds of magicians so that they would not produce inspectors who would harm the civilized world. The nature of that was completely different.
In view of the horrific record of the Great Sage's Tower in the past, in the name of 'expelling the current tower owner and regaining the weapon to defend the civilized world', the Xijia District Branch recruited 2,000 regular magicians and 8,000 auxiliary soldiers to form a A mixed army of magicians!
This kind of military strength is inferior to the resistance force independently formed by the people of Lost Land when the Abyss invaded a few years ago. The countries in the southwestern part of the Lost World can only tremble when faced with such an army of magicians, even if it is just a mixed army.
The establishment of this magician army would have been impossible without the Cadiz District's contribution behind the scenes. But the main culprit is the Xijia District branch, which has made a lot of money in the past few years.
It is possible that a lot of the funds that were used were embezzled. But to form a magician army that has never been established in the four southwest districts of Midland, gold and silver treasures are not dragged out one by one. Without Xijia District, the other three districts would not have the strength to form such an army.
But this unprecedentedly powerful military force in the southwest of the Lost Land did not scare the current owner of the Great Sage's Tower. The Xijia District Chapter only sent an ultimatum in form, asking the tower owner of the Great Sage's Tower to surrender.
But to be honest, now that the formation of the legion is completed, even if the Tower of the Great Sage surrenders, it is estimated that the relevant people will pretend to be stupid and continue the war to the end. This is also to scare the monkeys and make others understand that they should not challenge the authority of the Magician Association.
Besides, it is extremely dangerous to draw the sword but see no blood. Because if you don’t hurt others, you might hurt the owner.
Although this is a temporary army, the regular soldiers are all magicians, so I won’t mention it. Among the 8,000-strong auxiliary force, all were recruited by adventurers, and many were followers of magicians. None of them were civilians. Such a composition allows them to become a qualified force rather than a ragtag force with just a little grinding.
In past experience, the most dangerous part of attacking a magic tower is to attack the inside of the magic tower from outside the magic tower against the raging strategic magic. The legionnaires in the multi-pronged attack also had the consciousness of sacrifice under the temptation of the large amounts of money they had received before the war.
Although this awareness is only because no one has started to sacrifice yet, and no one feels that they will be the unlucky one. But the silent magic tower still surprised everyone, except this time the magician officers sent by the Xijia District Branch.
Every magic tower has loopholes deliberately left by the association as a back-up for attack. Although the Tower of the Great Sage has been changed beyond recognition by someone, and all the back-ups left in the past are useless, the association is not completely powerless.
No matter how powerful the protection is, it still needs people to operate it. As soon as something goes wrong with a 'person', strong protection becomes meaningless. This is the reason why the new president of the Xijia District Chapter dared to attack the Tower of the Great Sage.
The new tower owner of the Tower of the Great Sage, when he inherited the ownership of the tower, in order to master the defense system established by the P language as quickly as possible, he recruited many additional people who were interested in this new knowledge and had certain talents. people. These people later became the tower master's magic apprentices to deepen the bond between the two parties.
But if these people have problems from the beginning, just being accepted as magic apprentices by the tower owner of the Great Sage Tower and enjoying better treatment will not stop someone with intentions from activating them and causing trouble to the magic tower. After all, such spies have either beliefs that are so strong that they cannot be shaken, or the forces behind them have mastered the weaknesses of these people, making it impossible for them to escape from their grasp.
So while the magician army launched an attack, the spies in the Tower of the Great Sage also took action to paralyze the function of the magic tower, allowing the attacker's plan to be carried out smoothly and reducing losses.
Judging from the results, the traitor's actions were very smooth. But no one thought that this was actually a trap.
