Chapter 3001 Royal Archmage

General Henry Clinton, who was stationed in Midgard, did not get the definite news that the Continental Army was splitting up and going south until the day the Vasa Corps captured Greenmouth.

In the more than half a month after that, General Clinton hesitated for a while whether to "return the carbine" and take back Freeport.

However, considering that Freeport still has Magni Corps and Haakon Corps stationed there, and the dwarf allies of the Continental Army are supporting in the rear, General Clinton hesitated again and again, and finally gave up this adventurous plan.

As it turned out, General Clinton made a wise choice.

Although this could not restore the passive fate of the Fizhen army in the New World battlefield in 1628, at least it saved tens of thousands of Fizhen officers and soldiers from vain sacrifices.

...

Freeport and Prince's Harbor fell one after another, and the city of Leiden was under siege by rebels. This series of bad news was sent back to Feizhen, which made Lord North and his cabinet members anxious like ants on a hot pot, but they were helpless.

The precarious situation of Leiden City did not prompt the gentlemen and gentlemen in the Fizen Council to put aside their differences and unite to solve the current crisis.

The revised troop increase plan was once again rejected by the opposition in the parliament. Lord North, who was already in despair, had no choice but to complain to King George III, asking His Majesty the King to intervene in person.

According to the Constitution of Fiji, the king is the supreme military commander of the country and has the power to declare war and negotiate peace. However, the king cannot dispatch troops on a large scale without the vote of the parliament. There are only two troops at his disposal—the royal guard Army and Royal Mages.

The Royal Guards are George III's Royal Guards. Of course they cannot be sent to fight in the New World, so the only option is to send the Royal Mages to go out.

Prime Minister North spent a lot of time talking, and finally persuaded George III to nod, and summoned the Chief Royal Archmage "Dragon Rider" John Dee that afternoon.

Master Dee had also heard about the wars in the colonies of the New World. After listening to Lord North's narration, he stroked his white beard and pondered for a long time, and then sighed.

"Your Majesty, my lord, it is the duty of our royal mages to serve the country, but frankly speaking, even if the royal mages go to Leiden City to participate in the battle, I am afraid they will not be able to reverse the general situation on the battlefield."

"Master, are you being too modest when you say that?"

George III frowned, showing displeasure.

"There are thirty-two quasi-legendary spellcasters in the Royal Mage Corps. Together with you, the legendary archmage, they will unite and cast spells. It should not be difficult to repel the rebels outside the city of Leiden."

"Your Majesty, if there are no legendary-level spellcasters among the rebel army, you are certainly right to say so, but unfortunately this is not true."

Archmage Dee gave a wry smile, and continued:

"As far as I know, the reason why the rebels were able to defeat General Cornwallis' troops in Delin Town and destroy a legendary colossus was inseparable from the help of a young mage."

"This person's name is Joan Vida. He was born in the colony of Alfheim. He is a fellow villager of the rebel leader George Vasa. The two have known each other for a long time and have a close relationship."

"Joan Vida... I am familiar with the name of this young man. I heard that he is very talented and a genius arcane scholar?" George III looked at Lord North.

"I have also read reports about this Dr. Vader in the newspaper. It is said that he is the most outstanding arcane scholar since this century, and he is likely to become the youngest winner of the 'Golden Rod Award'." Lord North replied road.

"Dr. Vader is not only an academic genius, but also a spellcasting genius. In fact, he is probably the youngest legendary mage in the world of Vales today!" John Dee emphasized seriously.

"So what?" George III smiled disapprovingly, "No matter how outstanding his talent is, he is still just a kid after all. Could it be that his mana and experience can surpass that of an old man like you, Master Dee?"

Master Dee couldn't help sighing again, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

"Your Majesty, there is no ranking of seniority in the profession of spellcasting, and it is not determined by age. To be honest, I am not sure that I will win against Dr. Vader."

"Then, what about the other thirty-two royal archmages?" Lord North asked softly, with an unnatural expression on his face.

It is too ungentlemanly to bully the few with more, even if it is only discussed in private, it will make him feel ashamed.

"My lord, you may not understand that there are less than a hundred legendary spellcasters in the entire Vales world. This is a small circle, and they are all acquaintances. If you look down and see each other, even if you are in a hostile position, we have a solution. The rules of disputes, people who don't follow the rules, can't get along in the circle!"

Master Dee caressed his long beard with a dignified expression.

"The Feizhen Royal Mage Group teamed up to besiege a young man. It is not good to spread the news. Not only will we lose face, but His Majesty will also lose face."

"Even if we go all out and don't care about face, and really join forces to deal with Dr. Vader, we still have to consider the consequences of breaking the rules."

"Dr. Vader is not a 'lone ranger'. He is a student of the legendary Lich Professor Moriarty. Franklin and Tennyson, two prestigious archmages, also appreciate him very much. Even Albert Wayne Mr. Stan also thinks highly of this young man, and appointed Dr. Vader as his successor in the academic world."

"In addition, Dr. Vader has a teaching position at the University of Kolasborg, and he is also the guest of Emperor Roland I of the Far East, the court teacher of Princess Vasilisa, and has also worked with the founder of the 'Ring of Harvest', Ms. Valentina, the legendary archdruid, cooperated to study the root of the 'Holy Fire Syndrome', you thought he was easy to bully!"

"If we don't follow the rules and use more to bully the less, even if we force Dr. Vader to retreat temporarily, we will offend many big figures behind him. Then they will not be polite to us, and we will have to call more Fiji A legendary figure of true origin, make reciprocal revenge..."

"If this vicious cycle continues, the war in the colonies will turn into a melee of many legends, and even the whole world will be involved in a catastrophe!"

"Your Majesty and His Excellency are familiar with the history of various countries in Vales, and they must be well aware of such tragedies that have occurred in history, so I don't need to say more."

"It is precisely in order to avoid the repetition of those shocking tragedies in history that we legendary spellcasters agree on a set of rules of the game, try to avoid interfering in disputes between countries, and if we have to make a move, we must adopt an upright and fair duel-this is The only way I can intervene in the colonial war."

Finally, Archmage Dee said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Sir, for the sake of safeguarding the long-term interests of our country, I hope you will carefully consider my request."
