The sun is high - #183 - Chapter 182 Ultimatum
When Shuge successfully destroyed the gathering of the Black Sun Society and fled to the edge of the Black Forest with the extremely important Black Sun Scepter, the team that had previously received the crystal cannon and wounded from the society and embarked on the return journey , and finally successfully reunited with the company led by Master Krauts.
After learning about the actions of the Black Sun Society and the series of impacts they had caused, Krautz’s face became extremely pale.
As the military mage leader of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment and the army’s staff officer, Krautz realized the seriousness of this matter almost instantly.
The events that occurred in and around Black Forest Castle not only mean that the rear of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment is no longer stable, but also mean that the military system of the Kingdom of Votel has been penetrated. Under the current circumstances, including the Fifth Chasseur Regiment The deployment and action plans of many legions will be leaked.
Although judging from the current overall situation, Sugar Ernst’s decision has greatly eased the pressure on the 5th Chasseur Regiment in the following battles, but no soldier or commander is willing to join the Black Sun Society. Put this terrifying uncertainty behind yourself.
Especially after he learned that this strange wild mage society had brought a huge magical creature like the Molten Dragon to the Black Forest area, he felt even more shuddering.
Although in the face of new ordnance and prepared crystal cannon positions, it is difficult for magical creatures such as earth dragons to pose any threat to the army itself, but if during the attack of the Kingdom of Deland army, such a big guy suddenly appeared. At the rear of the position, it is very likely to cause a series of extremely serious consequences.
In the face of these extremely bad and even terrifying events, the disappearance of a member of the Ernst family with a special status seems a bit insignificant.
When this information was sent to Alfred, the major officer who came from the Mucci family and had a good relationship with Sugar Ernst fell into brief contemplation.
After carefully studying the terrain of the Black Forest Castle and its surroundings, Major Alfred decisively issued an order to send a company to the surrounding areas of the Black Forest to search for any traces that might be related to Sugar Ernst himself, and Among them are the spies and veterans who were placed into the Chasseur Regiment by the Ernst family.
This was their only chance now to make up for their mistakes and show their loyalty to the Ernst family.
Subsequently, several specially encrypted magic letters were handed over by the letter owl in the Hunter Corps – this was the only and fastest method of message transmission that the Hunter Corps could rely on in the state of magical silence.
Without exception, these letters were jointly signed by Alfred, Krautz and other officers of the Jaeger Regiment, and the letter owls responsible for delivering the letters also received the highest level of treatment in their lives. Between Krautz and Weilin Under the joint operation of , several protective rituals that were enough to withstand crystal bullets and magic above the stream level were imposed on them.
According to the calculation results provided by Wei Lin, under a more optimistic scenario, these owls will have the opportunity to arrive in the area south of the Black Forest between nine and ten in the morning, and successfully deliver the letter to the “follow-up reinforcements” Among them were the “60th Infantry Regiment”, the “4th Plateau Gunners Regiment” and the “Augustine Royal Artillery Regiment” which had completed the entire re-equipment.
The main content of the letter was simple and crude, namely a request for artillery support.
Alfred hoped that the Votel artillery that had arrived in the Black Forest area could conduct the most thorough and brutal bombardment one by one at the coordinates given in the letter.
As for the letter itself, it did not mention anything related to the Black Sun Society. In these letters, he simply summarized the matter as “the rear of the Chasseur Regiment was infiltrated by the enemy” and “the artillery position was seriously threatened.”
After this group of letter owls sent the letters, the most experienced and experienced messengers in the Chasseur Regiment set off one after another. They carried other letters with them, and according to Alfred’s order, these letters needed to be delivered directly. Go to the forward position of the Kingdom of Votel and directly convey it to the Augustine royal family through the secret ceremony.
This is a small privilege that Alfred has as a member of the Mucci family.
As a “political animal” who also came from a large plateau family, Alfred knew very well that there was no benefit in directly dragging the existence of the Black Sun Society into the current military situation at this moment, because according to the news brought back by Wei Lin, , this mage society has no real camp affiliation at all. It is even a chaotic existence. Delan, Votel, and even Merlin Lehe are all their enemies.
In terms of military situation, he only hopes to solve the current predicament of the Chasseur Regiment and achieve the predetermined strategic goals. As for the hidden dangers of the association itself, it must be left to the royal family and the council to deal with.
Of course, after learning what happened in Black Forest Castle, Alfred naturally added the coordinates of Black Forest Castle to the letter. No matter whether Shuge and the members of the Black Sun Society would still stay after dawn. Inside the Black Forest Castle, there would be artillery fire.
Not only that, Alfred also specially mobilized the personnel arrangements in the position and placed a considerable part of the reserve team that was originally in the third trench near the artillery position. They will also be responsible for the alert and defense work behind the position. Once any suspicious target appears behind the position, these Kalfan heavy machine guns set in the rear position will immediately begin to release firepower.
After completing a series of arrangements, Alfred tiredly lit a cigarette.
He rubbed his temples in distress, looked at Professor Meyer with a serious face in the distance, and sighed helplessly: “Suger Ernst… my friend, I wish you good luck.”
…
Of course Shuge knew nothing about what happened in the Fifth Chasseur Regiment.
Even if he knew it, he would probably support it with both hands.
He wished Alfred could order now to hammer the ground of Black Forest Castle with crystal cannonballs.
However, at this moment, he had no way to convey his thoughts, because the warning signs in the spiritual world never stopped for a moment, but Xiuge didn’t know exactly why this warning sign came about. This area is close to the Black Forest Castle Mountain. Qiu’s plain is very vast, and with the help of magical vision, no figure moving on this plain can escape his sight.
But no pursuers appeared. Even if there were, they should have been far away by the running rat.
Its speed is completely different from ordinary war horses and vehicles.
But even so, that weird sense of crisis still clung to Xiuge’s body like gangrene, which made him feel very bad.
Nowadays, as a magical summoning object, the running rat’s strength and magic power consumption have far exceeded those in the past. Even if Shuge gets the support of the “Walking Forest”, there is no way to supply it with unlimited magic power. After walking for quite some distance, Shuge stopped next to a haystack left by Delan farmers. He quickly dismissed the “magic eater” of the running rat, and then hid in the shadow of the haystack. Among them, he took out the magic crystal he carried with him and began to accelerate the recovery of his magic power.
This night was really too exciting for Xiuge.
Under the supervision of many lake-level and river-valley level mages, he went on a killing rampage, successfully beheaded many important members of the Black Sun Society, and then walked away…
“I have never thought of such a thing before…”
Feeling the increasing magic power in his body, Xiuge breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the pause in the recovery of magic power, he opened the magic book again, turned to the last page, and once again observed the magic book named ” The weird magic of “Disordered Tracing”.
Just from the arrangement of these magic patterns, Xiuge can be sure that this must be a spell related to the lost gods. In Weilin’s notes, it was mentioned that the mad poet Aziv once used it to avoid “hounds”. “attack.
Intuition told Shuge that the “hound” that the mad poet Azifu was avoiding was most likely the one lying dead in his spiritual world, or at least the same kind.
“Disordered Tracing… Judging from its name, this magic seems to be quite uncertain, and Weilin also mentioned that this magic uses the user’s memory fragments as the teleportation anchor… This is What’s the meaning?”
Shuge thought seriously about the nature of this magic: “Could it be said that it can send me back to some places I have been to before?”
While he was thinking about it, he gently placed his fingers on the five-layered rings made of silver magic patterns, as if he sensed a similar power. These rings appeared without being injected with magic power. There was a slight flicker, and the disk in Xiuge’s spiritual world seemed to resonate slightly, but it only lasted for a short moment.
“Interesting… It seems that the volume “Poetry of the Night” still has considerable value.”
Xiuge removed his fingers from the page. He knew that this special magic had symbolized Weilin’s hard work and dedication during this period of time, and it was even very likely to be part of her important academic achievements.
For a scholar, it would not be a good feeling to hand over his most important research results as a tool to others.
Xiuge knew that this was enough to prove how much this magic teacher of his own age trusted him.
After a short rest, Xiuge’s mental and magical state had recovered to a certain extent. However, he did not rush on his way. Instead, he quickly flipped to the middle of the magic book and found what he had found in Enns before. The river valley level magic “Breath of Death” used underground in the special manor.
He is always particularly fond of this kind of magic that can form magic bullets and fire them with the firearms he carries.
“Since mages in this world don’t like to use wands, let’s use firearms instead… This thing is much easier to use than wands.”
Xiuge thought so, and tore off the pages of the “Breath of Death” magic. Under the infusion of magic power, the pages once again turned into five black magic bullets filled with the breath of death, which were filled in by Xiuge and carried with him. Among the revolvers, without the use of the Hound’s Fang, he must ensure that he has a powerful means of killing that can be used anytime and anywhere!
After completing the preparations, Xiuge stood up and prepared to set off. However, at this time, he saw that a dark magical light suddenly lit up next to a dilapidated house used to guard farmland not far away. At the moment when the light lit up, Alarm bells rang in Xiuge’s heart, and the running rat, which was closely related to the power of the Mother Earth Goddess, also let out a scream of surprise.
It senses the workings of some ritual or magic associated with the Earth Mother.
The next second, Xiuge saw that a large number of strange lines suddenly appeared on the snow-covered ground. Under the action of these magic lines, the snow melted away in the blink of an eye, and the fertile soil was immediately exposed. , the next moment, the land suddenly arched in place, forming a small mound.
A cave filled with magic appeared on the mound, and then several figures walked out of it.
At the forefront were three members of the Earth Society of the Black Sun Society. There were originally supposed to be four, but one of the male mages was pierced through the chest by Shuge’s Touch of Charron during the melee in the banquet hall. , he died on the spot, so there was no way he would appear here.
The twins from the Desel family in the Kingdom of Deland had gloomy expressions. They were holding magic books. Deadly and destructive magic was brewing around them. Behind the three of them, Herbert appeared from the shadows.
The second-in-command of the Black Sun Society and the director of the Earth Society has now lost one eye. Shuge saw that the green light symbolizing healing magic was swirling in the orbit of his right eye, but the palace hound The bites and claws contained terrifying power that was different from ordinary magic, which caused Herbert’s injuries to be delayed in healing.
“Mr. Ernst, is this how you use Mother Earth’s dependents?”
Herbert’s voice came over. At this moment, as one of the top casters among Van En, his magic power has been completely spread. Under the influence of powerful magic power, the surrounding snow is constantly melting. The soil under Xiuge’s feet also trembled endlessly.
However, this powerful mage did not attack Shuge immediately. His one eye was flashing with a terrifying magical light, but his expression was not ferocious, but rather peaceful. .
Shuge gently fiddled with the revolver of his pistol and asked, “It seems that you want to negotiate terms with me?”
“It’s not about negotiating conditions, but I am willing to give you another chance on behalf of the association…”
Hulbert and the three members of the Earth Society approached Shuge, and he said as he moved forward: “Your idea is obviously wrong, but the power you possess is extremely real… You have indeed obtained it. The favor of the gods we believe in, but this is not the reason for you to act recklessly and hinder our cause.”
He said loudly: “Hand back the scepter and follow me back to the association headquarters. I will guarantee your safety in my personal capacity and recommend you to join the Earth Society! This is your last chance!”
