This was a scheme proposed by "Bai Yi Gong" and set up by his second-generation relative "Bai Yu".
The process is very simple. Create a perfect opportunity, use "White Feather" itself as bait, lure out the E team, and then eat up this young team belonging to Barthelmero.
The most intriguing thing about the whole scheme is that all the intelligence is true, including the fact that the "White Wing Prince" went to Las Vegas to visit Van Feim, and the most crucial point is that the "White Wing Prince" took a special plane arranged by Van Feim and flew directly to Italy to finalize the matter.
"Prince White Wing" Tefanm Ottenroche, one of the oldest Dead Apostles, the King of the Dead Apostles - although only in name, the title was enough to show his strength.
In fact, whether it is the enemy or the friend, whether it is the Magic Association, the Holy Church or the Dead Apostles' own circle, it is generally recognized that this old monster whose age is calculated in units of thousands of years is one of the top strong men in the world. (Excluding the Mercury Spider ORT, which can directly destroy the surface of the earth, but unfortunately only a few people know its true strength.)
In the eyes of "White Wing Prince"'s family and subordinates, he is a god.
In the eyes of the enemies of "White Wing Prince", he is a demon that brings terror and an unfathomable monster.
Now, the monster's sledgehammer was standing in front of Team E, blocking the entire team's retreat.
"Tefam Ottenlocher!"
Seeing the iconic white beam of light, the "tank" leading the way changed his expression instantly.
Although he had received news that the "White Winged Prince" was coming and was mentally prepared for a desperate battle, when he really met this man, "Chariot" still couldn't help but panic.
Even the second-in-command of the brigade was like this, not to mention the other members. Especially the eight new recruits, their legs were all shaking, it was a miracle that they could stand.
A person's name is like a tree's shadow, and the name "White Winged Man" is too famous. It feels like a newly started software company competing with the dominant Microsoft in computer operating systems. It is completely different from another dimension.
Seeing the trembling look of Team E, "Bai Yu", who had lost more than twenty of his followers, felt happy.
With the power of his father, Bai Yu shouted: "Disrespectful magician, you dare to call my father by his name, why don't you die to apologize for your crime?"
This shout actually strengthened the will of "Chariot". He raised his left hand and signaled everyone to prepare for battle - there were no cowards in Squadron E, and the members of Barthelmero would not bow to the Dead Apostles.
"What a courage!"
A strong murderous intent flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. Just as he was about to call on his remaining followers to attack, he heard a voice of "Stop" coming from the pure white light column.
Upon hearing his father's order, "Bai Yu" immediately put away all his emotions, lowered his head, and made way.
For all Dead Apostles, the orders of their superiors are absolute and cannot be disobeyed.
The next second after "Bai Yu" made way, the white light column lingering around "White Wing Prince" spread forward without warning, as if intending to engulf the entire E Brigade in one blow.
"Joint defense!" "Chariot"'s eyes were bloodshot, and he put up the magic barrier as quickly as possible. As someone who was good at earth magic, he was an expert in defensive magic.
Under his leadership, the magicians quickly launched a joint defense. Those with magic barriers opened theirs, and those without barriers provided various benefits. Everyone contributed their strength according to the instincts engraved in their bodies, and the entire E-Team was like a whole, resisting the attack of the King of the Dead.
I don't know how long it took, maybe one minute, maybe ten minutes, the white light with powerful destructive power gradually dissipated. At this time, the magicians were already sweating profusely, and many of them were covered in blood because their magic power exceeded the limit that the magic circuit could withstand.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the expressions on the magicians' faces. Between life and death, they forgot to be afraid and tremble, and worked together to resist the powerful enemy, including the newcomers who were on the battlefield for the first time.
"That's right." "White Wing Prince" said lightly, and he didn't sound upset about the failure of his attack.
Of course he felt annoyed, because this was the situation he had created, and the attack just now was also carefully calculated. Otherwise, with his strength, even if Team E was united, it would be impossible for all members to survive.
The reason for doing this was to test the character and strength of these magicians, and the results of the test made "White Wing Prince" very satisfied.
He moved forward a few meters and looked down at the young magicians from above:
"You guys are great."
"There are better ones." "Chariot" said with his neck stiff. At this point he had given it his all.
"I'm looking forward to it. But before that, I have something to ask you—" The tone of "White Wing Prince" remained unchanged, "—Are you willing to become my servants and serve me?"
This is the real intention of "White Wing Man" and the reason why he traveled all the way from Las Vegas to the Po River Plain.
He really wanted to "eat" this magician unit, but this "eat" has two meanings, to kill them all is "eat", and to absorb them for his own use is also "eat". If the performance of the E-Team does not satisfy "White Wing Lord", then it is the former way of eating, if it is satisfied, then it is the latter way.
Apparently, this army that Lorelei and Shinji had put a lot of thought into made the always picky King of the Dead Apostles very satisfied and he began to think about recruiting them.
To this, "Chariot" responded with an interjection word, which is translated into Chinese as an onomatopoeia - "Pah!"
"Bold—"
"Bai Yu"'s scolding was once again stopped by his "father".
"What a shame! I thought you were a commander who cared about your men, but it seems I was wrong."
"Yes, you are right." "Tank" shook his head, "but compared to becoming a dead person, real death is still a better choice."
"Do your subordinates think so too?"
The pure white beam of light still obscured the figure of the "White Winged Prince", but every magician present felt the oppressive gaze behind the beam of light.
"If anyone stands up and is willing to be used by me, I can grant him the honor of becoming my direct descendant."
None of the magicians moved, and a few of the braver ones imitated the "Chariot" and responded with a "Pah!"
As Loreleya's direct subordinate unit, this magician unit was formed to hunt down Dead Apostles. They could be defeated and could die, but they could not betray humanity and become Dead Apostles!
"Barthomero's style is still as stubborn as ever." The voice of "White Wing Prince" turned cold, "But it doesn't matter, no matter how you feel, you will eventually become my brothers and sisters and be used by me."
