Chapter 581: Battle of the Coast (V)
"That's not right."
Magus slapped it heavily on the table, and even the charts on it shook for a moment. His face was gloomy, and the soul flame in his eyes was beating violently, and a few sparks erupted from time to time, just like the fluctuating mood of his master.
As a Grand Lich, Magus was no fool, though Tinidel rated him by saying that he was almost at the bottom of Klein's four generals in all aspects of his rank, except for his loyalty. But this is not to say that Magus is a foolish fool, on the contrary, his mind is no worse than the other three. At the moment, the situation on the front line, Magus has already seen it. There's nothing wrong with the Templars, and that's with the Everfree Harbor.
But this is also what Magus can't figure out, in terms of attrition, the resistance of Everfree is obviously the strongest, and even Eternal Winter City is slightly inferior. And although the resistance of Neverwinter City was fierce, it was still within the range of Magus's expectations. However, the Endless Harbor side is extremely strange, not only is the consumption much greater, but the artillery fire of the counterattack is also extremely fierce. Until now, Magus couldn't figure out where the artillery fire from the other side was coming from. But let's go to investigate, even the spirit of the bone dragon has been brainwashed by the other party to deal with himself in turn, what can I do? While vampires and ghosts are good scouts, the sea is their predator. Besides, now Magus can't find a way to let them go to the Endless Harbor, after all, the defense there is simply frenzied, and his side has consumed more than 100,000 skeleton soldiers, but he still hasn't been able to break through the opponent's first layer of defense. Although the result on the side of Eternal Winter is similar, it is clear to Magus that the difference is great. Because there is a sacred barrier on the side of Eternal Winter, it is one of the artifacts at the bottom of the Templar Order's pressure box, not to mention Montgomery with this thing. Anyone can stop the undead army. However, the Endless Harbor was not within the scope of the Divine Barrier, but it was able to block the attacks of the undead army, and Magus was a little puzzled.
Of course, Magus didn't know, in fact, at the beginning, Montgomery had also asked Jenn to set up a sacred shelter in his territory just to be on the safe side, but as a determined demon. Naturally, Jenn rejected Montgomery's offer. Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Montgomery that he was a demon and didn't like divine protection, but found a reason to say that this kind of artifact fluctuation would have some impact on his air fortress, although this was a complete nonsense, and until now Montgomery didn't see where the so-called air fortress Angus said at the beginning was, but after Jenn killed the Glorious Nation Legion in seconds, Montgomery also had some understanding of the other party's strength, and knew that Jenn didn't need his help at all, so he was not polite. Plus the Endless Harbor Light is geographically speaking. Indeed, it is like an appendix, it will not have much impact if it is cut off or not, and if you arrange one less sacred shelter, you can increase the power of a light curtain. So in the end, Montgomery still listened to Jenn and did not place a divine shelter in him.
Unfortunately, these Magus didn't know, so the situation seemed strange to him, as previous information had shown that the Templar had set up a defensive line centered on the four points of the Chaos Coast. And that's exactly what happened. However, the current situation is that Endless Harbor dominates, and the other points are quite average. This made Magus unable to figure it out. He had been staring at the charts for hours now, eager to break off his head and put it on. However, no matter how Magus looked at it, he couldn't figure out what the Templar Order's purpose was to keep the Endless Harbor under heavy force. Let's talk about sneak attack, it doesn't look like it, after all, even fools can see that the Endless Harbor is powerful now, if it weren't for the order of that adult. Then Magus wants to avoid the opponent's edge. I've never seen an ambush to this point.
But to say that this is for containment, it's not like it. Because there is basically nothing to do between the Everfree Harbor and the Everwinter City, even if the entire Endless Harbor is abandoned, it is enough for Magus to take the Eternal Winter City............
Thinking of this, Magus felt like his head was about to get bigger.
After the analysis. Magus thought he couldn't solve the problem. If the other three were here, they might have tried, but Magus wouldn't have done that. Because he knew very well that his military talent was not very strong, but he was able to understand and carry out the orders of the lord to the greatest extent. After all, the other three are all well-known figures in the lower realm, and although they will also do what the lord orders, they will always add their own understanding. It's like the current predicament, if the three adults were replaced, I'm afraid they would try their best to solve it by themselves. But Magus, unlike them, will only faithfully and thoroughly carry out the orders of the Lord, and if he can't do it, then he can't do it. And Magus knew very well that this was why he was looked at differently by that adult. Generally speaking, to their level, they are all capable people, and naturally they don't want to make their superiors look down on them. But Magus knew very well that the adult had a strange personality, and if you did what he said, you would have some problems. If he can't solve it, he can still understand it, but if he encounters a problem and finds a way to solve it himself, then the adult will be unhappy, because he will think that you don't trust his judgment, and if you don't trust his judgment, you don't trust his strength, and if you don't trust his strength, you are disloyal to him, and if you are disloyal to him, you are ......... Everybody gets the idea.
Just like Tinidel, in terms of talent, strength and intelligence, Magus knows that the other party is definitely first-class. It's just that Her Royal Highness the princess is really worried about her emotional intelligence, although she, like herself, carries out the task every time she receives the adult's task, and she completes it very well. But this princess does things according to her own temperament, and she can come as she wants, and she doesn't do what the lord tells her to do at all. Because of this, the adult didn't feel good about her. Later, Magus heard that the other party had been sent to find something, and then he was never seen again............ Thinking of this, Magus couldn't help but shake his head. Although he admits that things would have been much easier if Tinidel had been here, it was useless to think about it now.
"Master Magus."
At this moment, Magus saw a banshee appear in front of him silently.
"What's wrong? Didn't I say don't bother me? ”
Seeing the banshee in front of him, Magus frowned. Hearing his words, the banshee also hurriedly saluted Magus in fear.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I have to tell you that the messenger sent by His Majesty has arrived. She says she can help you solve the dilemma at hand. ”
"Emissary?"
Hearing the banshee's words, Magus was stunned for a moment. I haven't reported it to the adult yet, so why did something happen? Do you already know that something is going to go wrong? Or is it ............ However, before Magus could figure it out, a voice soon sounded out of thin air.
"Looks like you're having a headache right now, Master Magus."
"This voice is ........."
Hearing this voice, Magus hurriedly turned around and walked towards the place where the sound came from, quickly. The brilliance of his soul in his eyes suddenly became more and more brilliant -- he saw a beautiful and moving woman walking in front of Magus. The raging winds and waves of the Chaos Inland Sea seemed to have no obstacle for her, even if she walked on the rickety deck. I saw her just like this, smiling at Magus in front of her, as if the person standing in front of her was not a great lich, but the lover she had missed for a long time. She wore a luxurious fur coat, and a scarf woven of white fur was wrapped around the woman's neck, making her look birdish, charming and lovely. The taut curves of the fine garb are enough to drive any living man crazy--but alas, there are apparently few people here who know how to appreciate this beauty. I saw that she slowly walked in front of Magus, and then opened the fan in her hand to block the corner of her mouth with a "snap", revealing a strange smile that seemed to be nothing, staring at Magus in front of her.
"You're ...............!!"
And at the woman's eyes, Magus was also suddenly startled, and then he hurriedly bowed his head respectfully. Although he had never seen the other party, just from the expression of the woman before, Magus had almost guessed her origin. Therefore, he immediately bowed his head respectfully and expressed his respect to the other party.
"I didn't expect you to come in person, my lord, please forgive me for missing the distance!"
"You're welcome, Magus."
Hearing Magus's words, the woman reached out to cover her mouth and chuckled. Then, a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
"It's just that I heard that our naughty and cute little brother is also here, so I will come here to see if there is anything I can do to help............ Now it seems ..............."
At this point, the woman deliberately paused.
“……… It seems like it's going to be a really fun game..............." (To be continued.) )
