Xiao Chen stood on the podium, above which were nearly two hundred wizards of all sizes. These were not all the students in the magic school, only those who happened to have classes today. Moreover, the larger number of magic apprentices were not here yet.
Through the great magician's detection magic, he could clearly feel the abundant and active spiritual power in these people. He had never seen so many vibrant spiritual power light balls close together in other wizard towers.
Xiao Chen supported himself on the podium with both hands, leaning forward slightly. He was always carefree, but now he was a little nervous. This was the first time he issued a call as the acting chairman of the committee, and it was still unknown whether these people would respond to it.
"Everyone, these days have been a bit difficult for us at the China Tower. Bad news came one after another. First, the Black Wood Pass was lost, and then the committee was attacked. Each incident caused us great losses. Whether it was the soldiers on the front line or the members of the committee, their sacrifices made us sad. The initiators of these events were the imperialists. They not only actively invaded our land and killed our compatriots, but also burned, killed, and looted in our territory north of the Black Wood Pass, creating a no-man's land.
Now, for some reason, a serious plague called Black Water Disease broke out in the Black Wood Pass occupied by the Imperials. This plague is very fierce, and many Imperials have fallen ill. This is undoubtedly good news for us, and it is in line with our old saying: Those who do evil will eventually perish! "
Most of the people present did not know that there was a plague in Hei Mu Pass, and when they heard this, many of them couldn't help but cheer softly, and there was a buzz of discussion in the auditorium.
Wu Zibin also said to Mei Tiantian: "The Imperials really deserved it. Do you think we caused the Black Water Disease? Wasn't the plague that broke out in Green Forest City called this? The people who sent the plague to the Imperials were really amazing. We sent so many wizards to learn that treatment method before we cured the plague. How could the Imperials have such ability? Their army is finished."
"Don't be too complacent. If the imperials were dealt with like this, why would Brother Xiao Chen rush here to speak to us?"
"This..." Wu Zibin thought it made a lot of sense.
Xiao Chen and the others' discussions died down a bit, and he continued, "But do you think the cruel imperial people will be content to wait for death in Heimuguan? No, just like before, they quickly came up with a very vicious plan. The emperor of the empire sent those who were already sick to form small teams to attack our town. As long as they came into contact with our people in the town, they would spread the blackwater disease to our land again."
This time, the crowd erupted in much louder discussions than before. Many people were filled with righteous indignation. Even Wu Zibin clenched his fists and cursed the Imperials. He looked back at Mei Tiantian, who was also clenching her teeth and looked very angry. He suddenly felt a little happy that he had finally found a place to get along with her today.
"We can't let this plague in. Last time I participated in the treatment of blackwater disease. That disease is too terrible and difficult to cure. If you are not careful, you will lose your life." A wizard commented.
"Chairman Xiao, you must have a way to stop them, right?" Someone asked, "Our guards should be able to stop these people, right?"
"I did think of a way, but it won't work just with the Guards. Our Guards have very limited manpower. We can stop and destroy large groups of people, but we can't track down small groups of infiltrating enemies one by one. We must rely on everyone here to win this race against the plague! This is why I came here today to tell you all these words.
I need everyone here to learn how to treat Blackwater Disease, and then join the battle to stop the infiltration of Blackwater Disease patients. We need a sufficient number of mages to form a team to be stationed in every town and village, and cooperate with local village cadres and militia to strengthen the defense of the villages and towns. If there are small groups of enemies coming, cooperate with the militia to annihilate them. If someone in the village is infected with Blackwater Disease, they will be treated on the spot.
We will distribute to you the newly developed portable small communication arrays. You can use this short-range communication array to contact the neighboring villages and towns, forming a large network. When there are difficulties, you can help each other. When there is danger, you can promptly notify the nearby guard troops. We will drown all enemies who dare to rush into our territory in the vast ocean of people's war."
Some of the mages below listened with excitement, while others were full of doubts. Xiao Chen could clearly see the various situations below, and what made him happy was that those who looked excited and enthusiastic were much more than those who looked worried and afraid.
"The mages of our Tower of China are different from those of other magic towers. We have never been high and mighty mages, but workers who come from the people and return to the people. We are mages, workers, farmers, scholars and warriors. When the enemy invades our land and endangers our people, we are not only the strongest shield, but also the sharpest spear. Now your fellow countrymen who support you need you. How many of you are willing to stand up?"
"I, I do!"
"I'm going to destroy the invaders of the empire!"
"Count me in."
"I've learned so much combat magic, and finally it's useful!"
The crowd below was excited, and one mage even raised his hand! Xiao Chen saw that even those who had just seemed a little hesitant and afraid, many of them raised their hands and became eager to try. Whether it was due to the circumstances or they changed their minds, at least they did not want to be unworthy of the title of the Tower of China Mage.
At this time, Mei Tiantian's clear voice drowned out the noise in the room, "Brother Xiao Chen, I also want to contribute, can I join in?"
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the little girl whose height only reached people's chests. The principal of the magic school stood up and said, "Meidiantian, you are too young. We don't have such requirements for the children in your class."
"But I'm a mid-level peak mage. My power is stronger than most of the people present. Whether it's killing the enemy or healing, I should be more adept than them. Why don't you let me participate
Will the enemy let me go just because I am a child on the battlefield? If not, then I should also participate in this battle! "(To be continued)
