Chapter 871: Respective Reinforcements
"Master Yi, I'm sorry to bother you this time."
Luke personally visited Wang Yi, and since Wang Yi had already taken the initiative to bring up this matter before, he naturally agreed to Luke's request.
"But I think if they still don't withdraw after hearing the news of the defeat of the noble coalition, they may have some plans against you."
Wang Yi said casually.
This made Luke nod with a serious expression.
"In fact, I have already spread the news of the defeat of the noble coalition. I believe they also have ways to verify it. But now there is still no sign of them leaving. I am afraid they do have some thoughts about me..."
Having repelled the Flamebird five years ago and having been assassinated not long ago, Luke actually knew that he had been in the spotlight recently.
In fact, even if there was no incident with the savages, he might still have encountered various plots.
Now a group of savages suddenly appeared, and Temo was able to tame the monsters. Although Luke himself was jealous, he also understood that this was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
The already fragile balance was broken in an instant.
Eda and Dia were just staring blankly, unable to do anything, and Nott came over at the instigation of Calais. Naturally, this made Luke feel helpless.
But since he has made up his mind to rectify the Eastern nobles, it is naturally impossible for him to give up halfway.
This kind of thing cannot be overcome in one go. As the momentum is lost, it will only lead to further corruption.
By then, even those who were originally obedient will follow suit after seeing that there are no consequences!
Therefore, he must not stay in Dunno all the time. He must drive away the Scarlet Duke and free up his hands.
Otherwise, with the current grain production capacity of the Principality of Nott, if the merchants in Calais lower the price and send grain to the camp continuously, the other party can stay there forever, and it is even possible to build a small town temporarily!
He can't delay indefinitely, this is also Count Luke's responsibility!
"However, even if I know they have an idea, I can't just sit there and do nothing. But I have also obtained a new scroll from Lilith's teacher. With your help, Master Yi, and some of the nobles I have recruited, I still have a chance of winning..."
Luke's tone was heavy, but firm.
"Then have you ever thought that if you keep dragging it out until you become a legend, all your problems will be solved?"
Wang Yi said something somewhat puzzled beside him.
“Haha, if I’m forced to be pinned down in the city and unable to leave, how can I possibly become a legend!”
Luca laughed out loud, which made Wang Yi secretly approve of him.
I won’t say it’s 100% certain, but this kid does have the potential to become a legend.
This time, perhaps it can also serve as a touchstone for him to sharpen his will.
No matter what, this was the city lord where his Mage Tower was located, and they had a pretty good relationship. Wang Yi didn't want to change him...
…
The huge magic airship slowly descended in the wilderness, and before it landed on the ground, several figures cast levitation spells on themselves and floated down directly from the airship. One of them was an old man in a white robe, who walked to the ground as if he was stepping on a virtual staircase.
He came to the Scarlet Duke and the mage advisor Matt who came to greet him.
"teacher!"
Matt looked at the old man in white robe with some excitement and seemed very respectful.
This is his mentor at the magic academy, Gerd Hoyle, and the one who led him on the path of magic.
Although he is not a great wizard, the teacher's abilities in all aspects have reached the standards of a great wizard. It's just that his spiritual concentration is restricted by some spiritual talent that has prevented him from making a breakthrough.
Perhaps the opportunity has come, and the teacher will be able to break through and become a great wizard in the next moment.
However, it is also possible that you will never get this opportunity in your lifetime.
"Matt, you've grown again. You'll be able to reach the intermediate level soon."
When Gerd Hoyle saw Matt, a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Master Hoyle, how are you?"
The Bloody Duke looked at the old wizard in front of him and greeted him with a very formal expression.
Although he was a great knight and a duke, he also took the old wizard, who was only one step away from being a great wizard, very seriously.
"Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke."
Gad Hoyle also expressed his greetings to the Bloody Duke.
Calais' current policy towards Nott is to erode slowly without excessive stimulation. It plans to use three generations to slowly and completely complete the transformation of the Principality of Nott. When the older generation gradually passes away and the new generation grows up under their education, a soft annexation will naturally be completed.
Directly occupy the Duchy of Nott?
The Calais Federation actually has no interest in it, and at that time a lot of responsibilities and obligations will fall on it, increasing management costs.
Therefore, direct economic colonization is the best means.
They have used this method on many countries, and even infiltrated the former suzerain state in the north, the Ferro Empire.
However, the foundation of the empire is there, and it is impossible to be like Nott, and can only be nibbled away step by step.
Moreover, they had never thought about turning the Ferro Empire into something like Nott. It was enough to ensure that the Ferro Empire's policy was friendly toward Calais.
Otherwise, they would be uneasy living next to such a powerful old empire.
It is for this reason that they will show enough respect and appeasement to the current senior officials of the Principality of Nott to prevent them from getting angry.
Coming here to help this time is also true to some extent.
"With Master Hoyle's help, we can definitely keep Luke here this time. He is too dangerous."
The Bloody Duke was full of confidence.
An experienced old wizard's skills are much more advanced than those geniuses who have strong spiritual talents and have reached the high level of wizards early on.
Mage is a profession that requires accumulation and sedimentation!
But we can't judge based on rank alone.
"It is indeed not appropriate for a legend to appear in the East Plains. This will disrupt the geopolitical balance."
Gerd Hoyle also had a compassionate expression, as if everything he did was for the stability of East Plains.
"This time, I am mainly cooperating with His Excellency the Duke to deal with Count Luke. Luke's wife Lilith is also an excellent magician, but she is too young..."
As he spoke, he took out three scrolls and said solemnly
"These three scrolls were given to me by the Speaker for safekeeping. I can use them when necessary. They are three different tactical magics."
Ged Hoyle's words made the Bloody Duke's face change slightly, and then he showed a happy expression.
Tactical magic!
This is a seventh-level spell that only a great wizard can use!
As for making a scroll of seventh-level magic, an ordinary great wizard might not be able to do it, and the material requirements are extremely harsh. Many scrolls still require spiritual guidance from a formal wizard level even when they are used.
But its power is unquestionable!
Even an ordinary formal mage can play a very good role on a battlefield of this scale. A fireball thrown at random can cause regional destruction, and the fireball spell is only a third-level one.
Although in terms of power alone, Fireball surpasses many higher-level spells, and can even cause more horrific damage when cast by a great wizard, the rank is still there after all.
Now each of the three tactical magics can change the battlefield to some extent.
Tactical magic is at least seventh-order magic, but seventh-order magic is not necessarily tactical magic. Tactical magic itself weakens the power of a single unit and is mainly used to expand the scope of influence or change the terrain to form a more excellent and adaptable performance on the battlefield.
It is a strategic material that can be kept in the Principality of Nott as a hidden treasure!
The Bloody Duke himself has a seventh-level water tornado scroll, but the Grand Duke has repeatedly urged him to cherish it.
Earl Luke might have one or two scrolls in his hand to turn the tide, but he has reinforcements on his side!
Normally speaking, a formal mage can use a seventh-level scroll with just one strike.
Moreover, the powerful seventh-level magic still needs to be guided by a wizard who has done sufficient research on this spell model. For example, Gerd Hoyle is probably enough to guide three of them, and the power will be even greater!
Luke, you are done...
Genius always fades so easily!
At most you have an extra elf composer to help you, but I have a whole team of mages from Calais!
Among them there is even a senior wizard like Gede!
