Chapter 750 The Dark Lord and the Sage Revolution (XIV)
The next morning.
The sky above the Val River was overcast, and the wind smelled of war.
[Fort Lele] stood majestically on the riverbank, with solid stone walls and bridges like the last barrier of the Kaylaser family, separating the northern and southern continents.
The atmosphere inside and outside the fortress was extremely solemn. 700 family Aurors lined up nervously to defend, their red robes fluttering in the wind, their wands tightly clenched, but their eyes could not hide the faint fear.
The gains and losses of this bridgehead fortress will determine the final direction of the entire siege of Letherien.
Inside the fortress, Calvin Kaylaser personally took charge. He was wearing a red robe embroidered with gold snake patterns, standing on the fortress's watchtower, his eyes locked on the enemies who were ready to move in the dense forest in the distance.
His face was tense, his hands tightly grasped the amulet, and he was extremely anxious.
Five days ago, the theory of ten wins and ten losses, the advantage was on me, and he kept saying that the Dark Lord had no chance at all. As long as he persisted a little bit more, the Dark Lord would eventually be expelled.
Five days later, the Emerald Witch led the team to break through the defense line, the siege collapsed, the Auror class retreated, and after a hundred years of hard work in the family sandbox, they lost to the newbies in the final.
The whole battle can be summarized as follows:
Calvin Kelsera: "Trust me, we will defend to the death!"
Auror class: "Don't believe it, it's already broken."
As the Auror commander of the Naga Ring, Calvin created a historical pillar of shame for himself.
He will be nailed to it for the rest of his life, and he will be nailed firmly and hung firmly, making people laugh for the rest of their lives.
What makes Calvin Kelsera feel most uncomfortable is that the resources of the magic network are rapidly depleting, which makes him feel suffocated - the powerful network that once supported the rule of the Kalasel family is now broken into pieces.
Before, she mocked the Dark Lord's march and had no chance at all. The Emerald Witch was just a lunatic.
After being blown up, Camille Sifani was really strong. She was a real witch.
This is not that they suddenly became enlightened, but that they knew that if they were stubborn, they would not even have a chance to escape.
At this moment, opposite to [Fort Lele], the Dark Lord's march has completed the final deployment.
Camille Sifani stood in the center of the front line, her emerald green hair trembling slightly in the wind, her eyes as sharp as torches.
Eight personality masks were distributed in the marching array, each leading the Dark Lord's squad to prepare.
This was not a simple attack, but a thorough encirclement and end.
"Advance step by step, and disintegrate their last resistance!"
The Thinker led the command team to quickly implement the tactics on the sand table into the battlefield layout.
Through the weakening of the enemy's magic network and the precise calculation of the terrain around Fort Lele, she formulated a tactical plan of "segmented suppression and gradual siege".
In front of the bridge outside the fortress, the Challenger personality mask personally led the first wave of the charge team. She was wearing a red battle robe and raised her magic wand high, and her cold eyes swept over the Dark Lords who were ready to go behind her.
Her voice was like a war drum, and she always led the way.
The Dark Lords responded loudly, and hundreds of wizards chanted the Ouroboros spell together. The silver-white magic surged like a tide, impacting the shield of the Lele Fortress. The rays of light were like sharp blades, piercing the dark clouds above the fortress.
The first wave of attacks kicked off the battle.

Inside the fortress, Calvin watched the shield tremble, his eyes red, and he shouted:
"Fire at full power! Golems line up, withstand their attack!"
Under his command, the defenders released a series of blazing six-ring magic, lightning, fire and ice blades raging wildly on the battlefield.
However, facing the Dark Lord's march, the Aurors gradually showed signs of fatigue.
The second echelon was led by the Peacemaker Persona, who was responsible for guiding the large troops to advance steadily and disperse the enemy's firepower.
She stood in the back, commanding the battlefield in a gentle but firm voice:
"Stand apart, keep the front line stable, and the follow-up echelons will supplement the front-line firepower, and don't let the enemy find a breakthrough point."
At this time, the melancholic personality asked inappropriately:
"You are a peacemaker, and you command so systematically. Do you have a misunderstanding about "killing all the enemies"? "
The peacemaker smiled slightly:
"No, the true meaning of peace is to leave no opponents behind."
The melancholic was dejected and said with compassion:
"What if there are too many casualties on the front line?"
The peacemaker said calmly:
"Casualties are our final mission progress. Complete it and we win."
While the two personalities were talking, when the first wave of the Dark Lord's march tore open the outer wall of the fortress, Camille, wearing the mask of the perfectionist main personality, had led the elite team to break through to the south side of the fortress, and began to disintegrate the enemy's magic support nodes with a clear goal.
Her voice was cold and precise: "Lock their magic network resource hub and completely cut off the energy supply of the reinforcement array!"
The inappropriate voice of the Melancholic personality sounded again.
"Then let me ask you, what if the enemy repairs it in advance?"
The Perfect Personality looked at the Melancholic, sighed and said:
"They don't have the authority of 'what if'."
"Then let me ask you, the master personality, the tactics of the perfectionist, is the error tolerance rate 0%?"
Sometimes, Camille really felt that Type Six inherited the dregs of all her personalities, cowardly and saintly.
Fortunately, the other party was just a chatterbox, and was still very obedient when he should be obedient.
"You can have 0% mistakes, and the enemy will have 100% failure."
Camille replied to the Melancholic personality, and then before the other party said "then let me ask you", he marched to kill Calvin Kelasel in front of him.
Upon seeing this, the other eight sub-personalities immediately rushed towards the opponent along with the main personality.
With the precise suppression of the Black Demon's magic power, the Kailasel family's magic network nodes began to collapse, and the defenders' counterattack gradually became powerless.
By evening, the defenders inside the fort were desperate.
They discovered that the Dark Lord's march was not only large in number and well coordinated, but also formed an unshakable offensive under Camille's control.

Click——
The shield of Lele Fortress made a last frightening cracking sound in the night, and the broken magic ripples were like a gorgeous magic meteor in the air, and then dissipated invisible.
The Aurors on the city wall looked pale, watching in despair as the Dark Lord marched in and swarmed in. Battle cries and the roar of magic instantly filled the entire fortress.
On the observation deck of the fortress, Calvin Kellaser stood quietly, looking towards the Vaal River in the distance.
The reinforcements he had originally hoped for had not yet arrived, and the surrounding magic network hubs had long been destroyed by the Green Witch's men. Together with the magic network barrier he was proud of, they were also reduced to dust in several rounds of fierce offensives.
Calvin's hand touched the family crest on his chest, his fingertips trembling slightly, but his expression showed no sign of flinching.
"For the Kellaser family."
A trace of determination flashed in Calvin's eyes, and he clenched his wand, his heart filled with determination to die.
"No matter what, the Ring of Naga will never fall into the hands of those scum."
A sneer appeared on the corner of Calvin's mouth, and he whispered:
"Let me see what your so-called 'witch' is capable of."
He jumped down from the steps and landed in the central square of the fortress, facing the approaching Emerald Witch and her eight personas.
Camille, wearing the main personality mask, walked forward slowly, holding a wand, his eyes cold and solemn.
The remaining eight clones formed an encirclement, locking Calvin in the center.
"Calvin Kellaser, the war is over, you lost."
"Followers of the Dark Lord, you are just a group of bandits under the cloak of faith! The Kelasel family has guarded this land for hundreds of years. Even if we lose it today, I will make you pay the price!" Calvin said with a sneer.
"Your family is not a guardian, it is just a cancer parasitic on the wizard class. Glory? Was it obtained by sacrificing countless ordinary wizards?" the enthusiastic person laughed.
"Kelasel's arrogance is just like your fire magic. When the time comes - bang, it's gone." The challenger took over the words and sarcastically said.
Camille behind the main persona sighed.
The persona is like this. The main personality only needs to be responsible for control, while the other sub-personalities have many things to consider in order to express their emotional selves to their fullest.
The two sides didn't talk too much trash. When the challenger finished speaking, Calvin directly raised his wand, and intense magic suddenly surged around his body.
His voice was like a roar:
"Stupid witch, I will never let them threaten Kailasel's rule——"
boom--
A blazing fireball quickly flew out of his hand, aiming directly at the masked clone in the front array. The flames exploded instantly, and a blazing heat wave rolled around.
Challenger Mask quickly cast a defensive shield, followed closely by the other clones who used magic barriers and efficient movement to disperse the impact of the explosion.
"Spread out the formation and pay attention to your positioning!"
Thinker Mask commanded calmly.
[Mirror Shadow Technique! ]
Calvin's figure flickered, and four illusory mirror images appeared instantly, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
[Group invisible!]
, his figure disappeared from the place again, and the invisible threat caused the clones surrounding him to fall into confusion for a moment.
However, the Thinker Mask calmly waved his wand, and a [Dispel Magic] pierced the night sky, instantly dispelling the invisibility spell and forcibly pulling Calvin back from the darkness.
"Too naive." Thinker Mask said lightly.
The Thinker Mask quickly took over the scene. She calmly directed the other personalities to cooperate. The eight clones waved their wands in unison, suppressing Calvin in the center.
[Human Holding Technique*8]
Before he was immobilized, Calvin detonated one of his magic net props, and a storm swirled around him. The violent air flow was mixed with ice blades and thunder and lightning. At the same time, he completely let go of the authority to call the magic net.
The Book of Sages has a total of I~IX authority stages. Before the declaration of the Dark Lord, the authority of the Demonic Network Master was VII, comparable to Terra [The Master].
And they can temporarily activate Authority VIII and mobilize great spells that are comparable to the power of [Crown].
However, today is different from the past.
The Dark Lord takes the name of chaos, confuses the ignorant, and attempts to overthrow the orthodox regime of the Naga Ring for thousands of years!
They stole fire from the firewood of the Snake Spirit Altar and dug magic power from the foundation of the Kailasel family. This was not only a provocation to the family, but also a blasphemy to the entire wizarding order.
Calvin waved his wand, and a storm of magical energy spread around, rolling up the dust on the earth and shaking the magic network in all directions.
At this moment, he completely released the restrictions on the authority of the Magic Network and tried his best to use the remaining resources of the Magic Network.
However, the power of this call and response was far less powerful than what he remembered. The joy of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth in the past had now turned into a feeling of emptiness that made him resentful.
【Book of Sages·Permission V】
[Spell Enhancement/Open]
[Magic Network Disturbance/Open]
[Magic Network Torrent/Open]
[Shielding spell/Open (... Identifying special fluctuations, shielding...)]
[Unknown node? ? ?]
[The current node bypasses the Sage Network, which violates the Sage Network regulations. Please turn off the bypass device! ! ! !]
The channel network built by Xia Xiu using the [Heaven Lever] is equivalent to the dark web and "ladder", which is used to bypass the various blockades of the Sage Network of the Naga Ring.
So, at this moment, Calvin's shielding node crashed into the intricate [electronic channel] opened by the lever.
He suddenly raised his head and glared at the Emerald Witch opposite him with resentment:
"Since the declaration of the Dark Lord, the magic network has collapsed and the order has been disordered. The thief stole the firewood of the magic network and disrupted the wizard nodes, making it difficult for us to get the power of the Grand Master! Now, I, Calvin Kelasel, can only call on one-tenth or one-twelfth of the magic network resources! What a shame!"
Camille watched all this calmly, standing on the edge of the storm, without taking a step back.
She wore the main personality mask, her eyes were like blades, and her voice was clear but revealed an overwhelming confidence:
"Stubborn!"
Accompanying her voice, the eight differentiated personality masks each emitted light and joined the battle again.
They crossed in the air, forming a series of magic tracks, pointing directly at Calvin's defense line.
Calvin's magic wand drew a dazzling flame track, and the fireballs blessed by the magic net exploded one after another, blasting the surrounding ground into a scorched earth.
The Achiever personality mask rushed straight from the front, and the silver-white Ouroboros spell condensed in mid-air and smashed into the flame barrier created by Calvin.
Amid the roar, the barrier cracked, but was immediately reinforced by the shield spell chanted by Calvin.
"Do you really think you can stop me like this?"
Calvin snorted coldly, and the magic circle under his feet suddenly lit up, and a [sun ray] blasted towards the ground like a punishment from heaven.
The light column passed by, and the clone of the "worrier" mask dissipated in the light.
Camille, who was behind the main persona, gritted her teeth and remained calm.
"Thinker, retreat!"
She commanded calmly, her voice piercing the chaotic battlefield like a sharp sword.
Under Camille's guidance, the remaining personas quickly adjusted their formation.
The Enthusiast circled Calvin's flank at a high speed and threw several [Magic Missiles], trying to tear his shield.
The Challenger kept breaking through from the front, with the magic wand in his hand spewing blazing flames, colliding head-on with Calvin's flaming arrows, and the flames were overflowing.
"Is this all you can do?" Calvin roared, he raised his magic wand, and the flying spell made him quickly rise into the air. In the sky, he looked like a violent falcon, overlooking the battlefield below.
"Disperse!"
The Thinker gave the order, and Camille and the Peacemaker immediately approached from both sides, the magic spells intertwined, blocking Calvin's retreat.
But Calvin's [Spell Counter] was as accurate as a sharp blade, dissolving their attacks one by one.
But now is different from the past. Every time he uses counterattack, Calvin's breathing becomes heavier.
The power of the magic network once made him omnipotent, but now he feels like he is fighting against a vast ocean with his hands.
The lack of magic network resources gradually makes his attacks sluggish, while the enemy is still pressing forward.
After a series of tense battles, only three of the eight personality masks are left, and two of them are already full of cracks.
Moreover, the main personality perfectionist mask is cracked in half, revealing Camille's cold and beautiful face.
"Even if I have to die, I will not bow my head."
Calvin panted, his face full of determination. He raised his wand and wanted to condense magic again, but found that there was only a faint light left in his hand. His voice was low and hoarse, with unwillingness:
"The Kailasel family... will not..."
However, when his words were about to come out, what appeared before his eyes was the tragic defeat of the battle, the enemy's step-by-step approach, and the Dark Lord who had not yet taken action.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile uglier than crying appeared on his face, and he murmured:
"Kairasier... I underestimated you after all."
Camille did not give him any more chances.
She raised her wand and said in a cold voice:
"Goodbye."
A dazzling beam of light shot out from the top of her wand, and the silver-white light hit Calvin's chest directly.
The magic power invaded his body like a venomous snake, completely devouring his remaining vitality.
He let out a painful wail, lost his balance, staggered back, and finally fell from the city wall into the Val River.
The cold river water instantly swallowed his figure, leaving only a few lonely ripples, which gradually spread and dissipated in the silent night.
Since then, with the drowning of Kailasel, the five-day "Siege of Letherien" ended.
The fledgling Emerald Witch handed in a perfect answer to the war. The victory of the Dark Lord's march completely bankrupted the strategic goal of Kaelaseer's long-term control of the southern Muggle base camp, and shook the foundation of the Kaelaseer family's control over the southern part of the Akares continent.
The day before Camille Sifani arrived in Leatherien.
The news headlines in Leatherien, Akares continent, and even the entire Naga Ring were still:
"The unspeakable cannibal demon king is approaching Leatherien"
In addition to this headline, there are three related headlines that are spreading virally throughout the Naga Ring. The Serpent Spirit Crystal Wall Council tried every means to suppress the crazy spread of these news:
《The Seven Cities Rebellion Erupts on Zelko Continent》
《Ancient Magic Revival Sets Off on Lortan Continent》
《A Large-Scale Wizard Class Equality Movement Appears on Elsin Continent》

I won a prize, an egg steamer and some other random prizes. I heard there is another big prize later, which will be announced in two days. I have been communicating with the organizers recently. I heard that I can have a free banquet. There are indeed a lot of things going on recently.
