As a super empire, Ain Rodant, the country of mages, is not large, and most of the country's population is concentrated in the capital, the capital of magic, Ain Rodant.
For thousands of years, in the sky above Ain Luo, there has been the existence of the Cloud City. At first, it was only the residence and laboratory of Gaohuan Mage, in order to prevent the habitual explosion sparks from spreading to the isolation area of other areas.
With the popularization of compulsory education for mages, the number of spellcasters in Einro has increased year by year, the immortals of the older generation have accumulated more and more, and the number of perennial residents of the City of Clouds has increased.
With the continuous expansion, Yunzhong City has long been not only an experimental area for high-level mages. 10% of the total population of spellcasters live on it, and more than 50% of the archmages have their own residences and laboratories in Yunzhong City. , on which all academic societies have mage towers.
Even so, it is still called the "Tower of the Clouds" in official channels, even if it was a real city for hundreds of years, just because everyone is used to calling him that.
It has long been more than just a research area and a mage tower. All Ain Rodant people can look up and see the city among the clouds every day. Its existence is a symbol of the prosperity and stability of the entire country.
"Never challenge an archmage with a mage tower."
This seems to have become common sense in the multiverse, and its extension, perhaps...
"Never challenge Einro and the Cloud Tower head-on unless you plan to deal with thousands of top-level mage towers and tens of thousands of archmage at the same time."
Perhaps the Tower of the Clouds does not have a famous record, and perhaps the world has forgotten that it is a mobile city in the cloud, but it is also its power that makes any existence with an IQ above the horizontal line from the very beginning. Will consider to challenge the cloud city head-on.
"Attack Eroying, the capital of the kingdom of mages? There are towers of clouds, tens of thousands of archmages, endless magic reserves, massive war puppets and magic creations, countless plane gates and conjuration reserves, then It is the combat power of most of the country of mages."
Even the reckless king would never consider attacking the capital of the country of mages. The city in the clouds is not only the home and residence of mages, but also a symbol of peace and stability for the entire country.
The only madman who provoked him was still Oros the Fool, and from the current point of view, this arrogant provocation involving the kingdom of mages was probably the wisest decision in this world.
"Ten years ago, the members of the inner ring had a private agreement with Oros, the former king of Baier, that when necessary, we would dispatch the Tower of Clouds to provide cross-sea support, and the Baier Empire would also be responsible for all our losses. Not only that, they will also open the treasury and give out at least two hundred catties of demonized fine gold with tens of millions of gold coin-level magic materials, one artifact and ten sub-artifacts as a price."
In the Hall of Truth in the Tower of Clouds, Archmage Rhine explained to other mages the legality of the City of Clouds entering other countries.
A small piece of information that only members of the parliament know, the Council of Truth is essentially divided into inner ring members and outer ring members. The number of the latter is larger and changes frequently, while the former is hidden between the latter. Only the inner ring members know about other members of the inner ring. Ring Member's identity.
The inner ring members do not have any additional privileges, they are just given more trust and more intelligence support.
And Amara of the Star Apocalypse. And "Miracle Prayer" Rhine, is one of the few inner ring members who have made public their identity.
"I heard that Oros died, and I was scrapped because of the agreement, and when Roland came to the front with the agreement and the power of attorney from Emperor Helent, I really couldn't believe it... They must have hooked up with them before. together."
In the empty hall of truth in the past, at this time, most of the seats are full. Many names that have been forgotten by the world for a hundred years, those ghosts that shocked the world a hundred or a thousand years ago, covered hoods, and returned to the world with masks.
Don't look at Archmage Rhine's composure. At this time, the vest is full of cold sweat. These seniors who have long since lived in seclusion and retired, some of them are members of the truth who took office and took office, and some are authorities in a certain field. They don't know where to hide on weekdays. When the city moved, all of them suddenly jumped out.
Maybe legally he doesn't need to be questioned by retired seniors, but just as juniors can't keep their heads up in front of the old founders of clubs and companies, graduates who have worked are a little panicked when they see the head teacher of the year, and they are looking at him. The old masters who had grown up were watching, and if they didn't give a suitable explanation, they really couldn't justify it.
"...So, Little Rhine, after discussing with the other inner ring councillors, you started the City of Clouds, and with a little favor and small favor, you will sell the City of Clouds? It has not moved, its stability, the foundation of stability in the hearts of all Ain Rodantes, and now panic is spreading among the civilians…”
The black-haired gentleman wearing a one-eyed mask looked very young, and his eyes flashed with dangerous stars. He was the senior brother of Rhine's mentor, and the former Speaker of the Inner Ring "Almighty Hand" Noah.
Hearing this, Rhine also suddenly realized. No wonder these secluded seniors jumped out of the holes one by one. It turned out that they usually lived in seclusion among the commoners in the capital. When they saw the movement of Yunzhong City, they naturally couldn't sit still.
"He, I'm afraid this is what that Roland expected. The future generations are formidable, and the future generations are formidable. But just for this, you let the Tower of Clouds, which has never been moved, enter other countries..."
The words were not finished, but everyone could see that Noah was a little dissatisfied.
At this point, even Rhine was a little depressed. He understood why Roland had to emphasize the confidentiality of the mobile city in the cloud. The reaction of these seniors was probably what he expected. The mobile city of mages was also very important. Naturally dragged them to the battlefield.
It is indeed not a glorious thing to calculate allies, but calculating allies can enhance the strength of allies... At this time, Rhine's emotions are very complicated, and at this moment, it is his obligation to answer the questions of the seniors.
And why this choice was made, wasn't it already thought about from the beginning
"No, it's not just that."
Rhine pondered for a while, organized the language, and his next words were likely to determine the attitude of the seniors.
"This is a struggle for survival. Although the kingdom of mages is a kingdom of mages, most of the residents here are still humans, so we must fight."
There is no long talk or reasoning. It is meaningless to talk about the archmages playing with language skills, and debate will make them disgusted. "Because we are human beings, for the continuation and prosperity of the race, we must go to war." The location determines the head, which is very realistic.
"is it necessary?"
Noah nodded slightly, such an answer was expected and the only acceptable one.
Continue the legacy of the mystery? Exploring endless truths? Please survive first. For any ethnic group, survival crisis is always the first priority. The abyss lords have really gained the dominance of the plane. Can the mages maintain their independence in the past
Noah asked "is it necessary?", in fact, he has recognized this reason. After all, these old mages are not deaf, and seclusion does not mean that they cannot receive information and are isolated from the world. The situation is better understood.
is it necessary? Isn't it necessary for the Kingdom of Mage to participate in it, because from the beginning, no one could possibly escape this war, hiding in the ivory tower and trembling, is also equivalent to handing over the butcher's knife to the opponent.
Noah asked, is the current situation a decisive battle? Is it necessary to use Cloud Tower
What flashed in Rhine's eyes was a firm will. Activating the Tower of Clouds was equivalent to tying the entire kingdom of mages to the battlefield. This was not a decision he could make alone, and he had already recognized this decision from the bottom of his heart.
"It is necessary, only by participating in the war and winning the victory, in the new era, we will have enough voice and status, for the inheritance of the mystery and the dignity of the caster, as the strongest group and vested in this plane. Stakeholders, we must show a record that matches our status.”
Rational mages don't talk about any reason at all, and they don't talk about politics and significance. They directly discuss future interests like cunning businessmen.
"On the Hades side, it is more suitable for us than chaos and order. This is a resolution approved by all members of the Council of Truth."
Underworld, order, chaos, the three camps are destined to decide the winner in this holy war. Since it is already doomed to close the door to escape, it is better to choose a location early, attack with all your strength, and achieve enough results.
If he had not seen this clearly, even if Roland said it nicely, the Council of Truth would have ignored it. An agreement or something, without sufficient interests to support it, was meaningless.
Noah closed his eyes in thought and fell into silence, but the special communication was between the old mages. After a while, Noah opened his eyes, still smiling.
"Then, little Rhine, we old bones will disturb you for a while."
Rhine was stunned for a moment, but then overjoyed. With the addition of these old mages, the Council of Truth would immediately become several times stronger.
At this time, Noah quietly handed over a piece of paper on the table with only a special spell for contact.
"Perhaps, you are using it, this is..."
Hearing the name passed by Noah, Rhine's pupils instantly dilated, and his heart almost stopped. It turned out that the real trump card of the kingdom of mages, the old generation of mages still held their hands, and his group of members did not know about it.
The old mages disappeared in the auditorium one by one. Only a few of them, such as Noah, stayed behind and acted as the hub of communication. The skyrocketing tower of the cloud accelerated and rushed to the battlefield faster than expected.
And when the Tower of Clouds fell from the clouds and looked at the chaotic battlefield in front of them, even the archmages who had experienced countless battles were also panicked, and they were even more glad that they had used their trump card.
The entry of the Tower of Clouds into the battlefield also represents more than half of the entire country of mages, who have fully invested in this struggle for survival, which can only be won but not lost.
If you look at the past, such as the stupid hindsight of the kingdom of mages in "history", you can see that at the core of the change in the mages' attitudes towards this war, it is still the same person.
At this time, "that person" finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the early arrival of the Tower of the Clouds. The Sophokri in front of him was too difficult to deal with, and now Sofokri's exposed abilities were not enough. proved his conjecture.
"Sophocles, you are not a devil at all."
