Mage Legend-Chapter 842 - 61: Target_2

Lynch spoke in a calm tone, slowly saying, "This spell is very similar to the spell used by the Great Arcanist to create soldiers during the Deicide War. I believe it is a technique the Great Serpent learned from an Ancient Demon Statue called Finder. If that's the case, we have no way to reverse this process."

"Then aren't we hopeless? Even heroic sacrifices would only add to the enemy's strength?" The southern lord stood up and pounded the table. "I'm not pressuring anyone, but if you can't even protect yourselves, I'll have to find another way to ensure my people's survival!"

"Are you suggesting surrender to the Great Serpent?!" Wislin stood up abruptly, shouting loudly. "During the war, why was there a surprise attack by the Snake-man's army from behind us? And who leaked the intelligence of the All-Knowing Tower and the Five Realms Fortress defense?"

"You're slandering me!" the young lord shouted angrily.

"We found witnesses; moreover, after the Snake-men retreated, we attacked their troops and found enough evidence!" Wislin said, "The knights stood tall facing the enemy, but were stabbed in the back by someone!"

"Quiet! Maintain order!" Ista shouted, "We're here today to solve problems, not to argue!"

"I agree with this point, Mr. Mayor." Lynch, however, looked at Wislin and said, "Even if he is indeed a spy, wouldn't it be interesting for him to hear how he's going to be destroyed?"

"So, it seems you already have a way to destroy the Snake-man?" The lord flung his cloak behind him and sat forcefully into his chair. Then he added in a peculiar tone, "Dear Mage, sir?"

"Please don't call me that, Mr. Lord, you'll find yourself facing unimaginable danger!" Lynch's face was calm and undeniable. He continued, "The help the Mage Association can provide is very limited, as our members have always been in very scarce conditions. Moreover, mages are not fighters; going to the battlefield is not our duty."

"But you're here, surely you have your plans and purposes." Ista said, "Although Haisas does not welcome mages, it welcomes all merchants. Mr. Lynch, what goods do you have, and what price do you need?"

"That depends on the situation of the meeting." Lynch said, "I believe in wisdom, especially wisdom discussed by everyone in peace. I just want to know, how would you respond if there were no Mage Association?"

"We in Haisas will not hand our land over to the Snake-man! I believe the vast majority of people present think the same way." Ista said, "When I say this, it's not just as a mayor, but authorized by the highest Governance Council, speaking on behalf of the entire Haisas. But please believe, Haisas alone is not enough to secure victory."

"Exactly! Like Haisas, Ian also faces the same threat. We have enough people and enough determination, but we lack a winning weapon! We won't stand by and watch our soldiers get killed by the Snake-man and then turn into Snake-man to slaughter their own brothers and sisters."

"Therefore, we need Dwarf Bombs!" Ista said, "This is currently the only safe way to massively eliminate Snake-men."

Except for the Elf Clan's representative, the participants nodded in agreement. Everyone had heard about the raid conducted by the All-Knowing Tower, and they had learned through various channels the stunning power of the Dwarf Bombs in defending the Five Realms Fortress.

How wonderful it would be to have hundreds of Dwarf Bombs? And once they obtained the blueprint to manufacture the Dwarf Bombs, it would grant them the initiative in the entire war—at least that's what most of the participants thought.

The Half-Elf General stood up and said to everyone, "Besides Dwarf Bombs, we have two other weapons. At Pate, the Paladins still have certain strength to initiate attacks, and the Bear Cavalry is not just what you currently see. And in addition to the blades, we also have the help of the Light God Pate, who will lead us to victory!"

"But isn't it said that the Great Serpent is also a god?" the young lord said, "I'd rather believe in Dwarf Bombs than pin my hopes on those Savior rumors."

"That is the future our Empress foresaw." The elf representative disliked the lord's strange tone and said with a frown, "Her Majesty's foresight has never made a mistake, nor is it just a rumor!"
