Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 672 - 190: The Attack

As the grand battle commenced at Silver Star City, in a central palace of a city named Laputer standing at the border battlefields of Karlars Province, which had been taken over by the Marquis, a secretive projection meeting was simultaneously convened. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Relying on a Crystal Ball in the core chamber, which was engraved with layers of Secret Patterns, the illusory meeting room had a constant time flow ratio of ten to one compared to the outside world, and it possessed the effect of anti-Prophecy Magic.

Projections, each with different appearances, all appeared in the meeting room almost at the same instant.

If anyone recognized them, they would be astonished to discover that the projections of all seven Marquis who initiated the war were present in this small meeting room!

"The news has been officially confirmed, the ’Light Chaser’ of the Alfred Family and the ’Silver Storm’ of the Olivendi Family have been secretly recalled and made an appearance on the Star Domain battlefield.

Now, there’s no Ninth Rank strength protecting either the Silver Star City battlefield to the southeast of Karlars Province or the Rella City battlefield to the east."

After all the attendees arrived, the projection of Marquis Winter, engulfed in a misty silhouette, spoke first to relay the information he had obtained.

No one present was surprised at the outcome; in fact, the two great families had no other choice.

"Then, as planned, we should select our next target."

After glancing at the many silently unvoiced Marquis, Marquis Winter’s projection finally said.

"I think the ’Radiant Holy Sword’ from the Alfred Family is a good choice; he has broken through to Ninth Rank in the past two hundred years, his strength is moderate, and he’s easier to handle."

Since directly reciting the names of Ninth Rank powerhouses could easily be perceived by them, discussions about enemy Ninth Rank figures often referred to their titles.

"The ’Frost of Winter’ of the Olivendi Family is also a good choice; he’s known as the youngest Ninth Rank of the Empire and has great potential for the future, worthy of being a target."

"I agree, I also think choosing these two Ninth Rank figures as targets is appropriate."

"I agree!"

The many Marquis discussed with one another, but unanimously thought that these two Ninth Rank figures could be the targets.

"Gentlemen, it’s regrettable, but for this mission, we can only choose one of them."

However, after silently listening to the discussions for a while, Marquis Draka ultimately spoke up.

"Currently, we only have two more Ninth Rank powerhouses than the opponent, and the targets come from Duke houses, surely carrying a plethora of High Rank Magic Artifacts.

If only two of us act together, we might easily defeat one, but it’ll be difficult to truly capture the target. At least three Ninth Rank individuals are required to ensure safety."

"If we must choose one over the other, I think ’Frost of Winter’ is most appropriate given his youth and significant potential for the future."

"I still favor ’Radiant Sword’, according to intelligence, he is likely to achieve another breakthrough soon, posing a serious threat to us."

"I also support choosing ’Radiant Sword’."

"I choose ’Frost of Winter’."

"..."

"Then, let’s decide by a vote!"

As the opinions of the many Marquis diverged, Marquis Winter blandly spoke.

Without any objections raised, the results of the vote were formally tallied soon after.

’Frost of Winter’ Carrot won with a vote of four to three.

"So, Lord Cui Jing, Lord Anrita, your opponents have now departed. As agreed, please coordinate with me in secrecy, and ensure the successful elimination of the target."

"As for the two battlefields, according to the agreement, let’s temporarily hand them over to the resistance organizations to occupy. Hopefully, they won’t even fail at such a trivial matter."

Seeing this, Marquis Beixi, who looked like an ordinary young man with black hair and black eyes, slowly stood up and nodded to the two Marquises.

As the targets and executors have been determined, the temporary projections of the group of Marquises stood up and dissipated, and the meeting came to an end.

It wasn’t just Anvis who thought about reducing the number of Ninth Rank enemies; the Marquises’ camp shared the same sentiment.

On the other hand, after ending the temporary meeting, Marquises Cui Jing and Anrita, who were assigned tasks, immediately set out and secretly teleported to Marquis Beixi’s location.

At this moment, Marquis Beixi was stationed within the western side of Karlars Province’s military.

After seeing the two Marquises secretly teleport over, a person wearing an emerald-colored priest’s robe with the Songxing Secret Sect’s emblem, and sporting a peculiar stone mask, slightly nodded to the two of them.

Upon seeing this person, a hint of vigilance simultaneously flashed through the eyes of the two Marquises.

Marquis Cui Jing was the most impacted by their impression of him; he was actually one of the three Marquises severely injured in the explosion in Sky City, and was supposed to be recovering slowly.

However, during his recuperation, people from the mysterious Songxing Secret Sect suddenly appeared and used a strange ritual to rapidly restore his strength. The price was to join the Marquises’ camp and start a war against the Four Great Families.

But after treatment, Marquis Cui Jing’s only feeling was deep caution; if a problem he couldn’t solve as a Ninth Rank couldn’t be handled, how could the Alien God Sect possibly handle it?

"Before the action begins this time, I will temporarily shield your fates, Your Excellencies, to prevent the enemy from detecting us in advance."

In the face of the Marquises’ faint hostility, the masked priest from the Songxing Secret Sect remained indifferent.

"Now, let us depart!"

.........

"The battle should have started by now... huh?"

Inside the central military tent, Duke Carrot, who was reviewing a document, suddenly paused. While gazing into the night sky in the direction of Star Domain, an unexplainable sense of unrest washed over him.

He put down the Magic Feather Pen in his hand, and his invisible perception expanded out fiercely, carefully probing every corner around the army. However, in the end, he found nothing.

"That’s right, they need to contain me to prevent me from supporting other battlefields... Which means they are about to launch an assault."

As he gradually pieced together the situation, the Duke’s expression turned colder.

At the same time, the ground began to tremble slightly—only a mass army charge could cause such an effect. The roaring of magic and the sharp sound of arrows piercing the air had already faintly reached the Duke’s ears.

And in the center of the countless approaching armies, a dreadful presence like that of the sun had already locked onto Duke Carrot, stationed amidst the military.

"I wonder how Fiona and Anvis are faring on their end."

With a flicker of concern, the Duke abruptly rose to his feet, vanishing from the tent in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, he appeared mid-air, directly opposite Marquis Beixi from afar.

Without any dialogue, above the army below that resembled a black tide, two different Rule Domains emanated from the two of them, colliding violently. Everything seemed no different from usual.

But in the next moment, two other distinct Rule Domains suddenly expanded from the void, flanking Duke Carrot in a pincer move alongside the very first from Marquis Beixi!

The sudden turn of events caused Carrot’s expression to drastically change, and what sunk his heart even further was that the battlefield space had been completely locked down by Alien Divine Power, making it impossible to send out a call for help.

Three against one, after struggling for a brief moment, Duke Carrot’s Rule Domain dissolved as quickly as snowflakes under the sun.

Through the barely-there Domain, one could see a twenty-faceted ice crystal shimmering with starlight struggling to hover beside the Duke. It exuded a terrifying Rule presence, supporting the Duke’s last line of defense, but it was still rapidly fading under the joint attack of three Ninth Rank individuals.

If nothing changed, Carrot would become the first Ninth Rank to fall in this Imperial civil war.
