Chapter 30 Conspiracy
"Yes, yes, I can help you, but we can't let our mission fail because of helping you, right?"
It's no wonder that everyone hesitated. Everyone knows how harmful it is to let the armored crocodile break through the defense, but the defensive mission here is also very important at the moment.
If the mission here fails, there will be a stain on everyone's resume, and they may even face punishment from the Magicians Association.
Although there are reasons for this, it is an indisputable fact that the task was not completed.
A task is a task. Once it is issued, it must be completed. There is no need to make excuses if it is not completed.
Otherwise, if someone makes excuses for mission failure, who will put in the best effort to complete the mission in the future?
Although this is a bit of a one-size-fits-all approach, without real-time monitoring, no one can tell what the situation is on the scene.
Unless the task is really impossible, it would be good enough if there is no punishment for not completing the task.
If everyone goes to support now, they will just be covering up for others. Even if they succeed in stopping it, there won't be much reward.
But if the original defense position is lost, we will face accountability from the Magicians Association.
Since it concerns one's own interests, everyone will naturally hesitate.
Tang Yue understood everyone's concerns very well, and her reward was also linked to the task.
Going to support is a temporary mission, so in theory there is no reward, but there may be punishment. However, guarding the dam is indeed a long-assigned task, and if it is not completed, the punishment will definitely be severe, at least a fine and punishment.
But Tang Yue is a member of the Trial Council after all, so she must send people over to support her no matter what. If there is too little support, it will be like sending food over; but if there is too much support, it will be like garrisoning here.
"How about this, Sister Yue, I will stay here with you, and the others will go to another dam for support?"
Seeing Tang Yue's embarrassed look, Tang Longhui gave his own solution.
"Just the two of us?!"
Tang Yue was a little hesitant, but thinking of Tang Longhui's ability to form an army by himself, she finally agreed to this plan.
As for the other mages, they also agreed to this plan.
Everyone has witnessed Tang Longhui's combat capability. He is truly an army of one man. Judging from the battle just now, Tang Longhui has at least two summoned general-level monsters.
This force, combined with the zombies just summoned, is enough to hold on.
After everyone reached a consensus, the other mages immediately went to another dam for support, leaving Tang Yue and Tang Longhui to guard here.
It is said that there are two people, but there are more than just two of them at the dam now.
Dozens of zombies are now squatting between the dam and the river, always on guard against the invading armored crocodiles.
Behind them were the Death Mage and the Death Knight, and a bone dragon was circling in the sky. This formation was no weaker than before.
"Xiaohui, this battle will greatly enhance your strength."
When she had nothing to do, Tang Yue was observing the river while chatting with Tang Longhui.
"That's right, my shadow and undead elements were born for war and death.
I am now at the third level of the Shadow and Undead. I will have to wait for the Undead, there is no rush. As long as my summoned Undead creatures have accumulated enough Undead Energy, my Undead will naturally make a breakthrough.
As for the Shadow System, it has accumulated a lot of experience and is ready to explode. In a month at most, I can use the Galaxy Vein and the Three-Step Tower to retreat and break through to a higher level."
"So fast?!" Tang Yue was also shocked by Tang Longhui's terrifying training speed.
"What's the big deal? As long as the resources are in place, the mage's training speed will naturally increase with hard work.
Would the speed at which those super-class mages awaken new magic systems be the same as that of the primary-class mages? That is definitely impossible.
Because of the difference in resources, any resources leaked by a super-level mage can become a huge fortune for an entry-level mage.
What restricts our current cultivation speed is resources. To be precise, as long as the resources are in place, it will be no problem to produce a high-level mage in a short period of time.
But the price is too wasteful. In order to shorten the time, a lot of extra resources are consumed, and at the same time, not enough experience is gained. Only high-level mages can be released, but the actual combat power may not even be able to beat a mid-level mage. "
Tang Longhui gave his own opinion.
"That's right. The reason why those disciples from noble families cultivate faster than ordinary mages is that they have obtained more resources, such as Stardust Magical Weapons. Without these, everyone is the same.
It is because the noble families control a lot of resources that they attract some mages to join them."
"Okay, Sister Yue, let's not talk about this topic anymore. The emergence of aristocratic families is inevitable. Just like if we get resources but can't use them, we will definitely give them or sell them to our own people first.
The same is true for aristocratic families, except that they are related by blood.
However, the noble families have been a little restless recently, and the Mu family was the best example. Their inner circle is a lawless place that is not monitored by the Inquisition, which is worth our warning.
It's fine if they obey the law, but if they really do evil inside, we will be a little out of reach."
"Well, uncle has mentioned this before. It is definitely not okay to spy on someone else, just like we don't like others snooping into our home.
However, the Inquisition also has a bottom line. If you commit a crime outside of their family, don't think you can get away with it easily.
Last time, if it weren’t for Mu Ningxue’s talent, the Mu family in Bo City would have been executed by the main family.
That Mu Ningxue seems to have some relationship with Mo Fan. You almost killed Mo Fan's friend."
Tang Yue teased.
For the branch of the Mu family that was affected, it can only be said that they were unlucky. But the judgment was absolutely right.
Who knows if there are any other men in black in the Mu family's side branches? If an adopted son and the future head of the Mu family's side branch can become a man in black, how can we be 100% sure whether Mu Ningxue's surname is Jiang or Wang?
If the Mu family really dealt with this side branch, it would actually save trouble for the trial committee, at least they wouldn't have to make any identification.
The two were chatting when suddenly, a huge wave of magical power came from under the river surface, and then hundreds of armored crocodiles appeared again and attacked the dam.
However, although the enemy had a large number of troops this time, there was no general to lead them.
"This group of monsters is really cunning. The general-level monsters lead a group to attack the other side, and then these slave-level monsters attack our side. Let us divide our forces as much as possible to increase their chances of success."
I have to say that the strategies of this group of monsters are indeed powerful.
Because of the rain, water levels in various parts of the Magic City have risen sharply, and countless water monsters have become active.
Now the Magician Association and the military are mobilizing manpower to suppress the chaos. The manpower is very short now. If it weren't for the bug of Tang Longhui, Tang Yue alone, even with a few more mages, would not be able to withstand the attack of these hundreds of monsters.
There must be a monster commanding here!
