Seeing the mage of the same race who suddenly walked out of the darkness, the goblin squadron leader suddenly felt the urge to cry. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the master mage of the family came out to smooth things over, causing Sean, who was forced into the corner by Naga to arbitrarily let out a loud sigh.
gas
", a fifth-level mage affiliated with 'Silver Pine'" Henry nodded, first motioned for Chekov to step back, and then said: "Who issued the martial law? What is the reason?"
"Salute to you, Sir Henry!" Sean stood at attention and saluted the goblin mage: "The order was given by Master Ferdinand of the Khumbu Mage Group. I heard that there are spies from the northern humans secretly sabotaging the airship factory, so now it includes
All southern towns, including Krupp, have temporarily implemented military martial law and curfew."
"Master Ferdinand? Isn't he on the front line in the Yonville Valley? How could he give you orders directly?" Henry was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Oh, Master Ferdinand just arrived at Krupp this evening, and he is currently stationed in the city." Mentioning the name of this high-level mage, the expression of reverence on Sean's face became more intense: "It seems that the Lord of the City himself
The order was given, instructing the master to return to the rear and sit in command for the time being."
"What!? Another high-level mage!?"
In the shadow of the night at the back, when he heard that there was a newly arrived high-level goblin mage guarding Krubery, even a calm man like White couldn't help but let out a low cry.
God knows, in less than twenty-four hours, the probability of Olympus encountering two enemy high-level mages one after another is almost lower than the probability of being hit by a meteor twice in a row.
"Haha, it seems like a coincidence."
Unlike White and others who were "excited", Henry, who was taking the lead in contacting him, seemed to become cheerful and even laughed out loud. His expression immediately aroused the "deep concern" of several Nagas on the side.
After just a moment of eye contact, Zhukov, who was at the rear, quietly walked behind the goblin mage. As long as the other party dared to say a wrong word, Naga's long sword would immediately be cut down mercilessly, and the "two-and-a-half-year-old" would be cut into pieces on the spot.
"Oh? What coincidence are you talking about?" Sean on the city wall didn't notice the undercurrent surging below, and asked casually.
"You just said that humans from the north came to make trouble for us. As luck would have it, just today during the day, several Naga lords and I met a few of them while marching and captured them all."
With that said, Henry waved the magic wand in his hand, and the dozen "human captives" were rushed forward under the escort of "goblin soldiers"
"Hey, you are really a Yankee!" Sean grinned when he saw Moriarty and others being tied up and escorted over.
"You idiot! Let us in quickly. All these prisoners will be given away to you." Chekov's eyes kept wandering between the goblin mage and the goblin squadron leader while he shouted impatiently.
"But...but...Master Ferdinand's order..."
If, as Naga said, the credit for capturing the human spies was given to him in vain, Sean would certainly be more than happy. Now we are in the midst of a fierce war between the North and the South. The greatest thing is military merit, and capturing more than a small group of northern saboteurs is enough.
After sending Sean to the position of captain, there is even a surplus.
But on the other hand, the martial law order of the high-level mage is always standing like a sharp sword behind the goblin squadron leader. Who knows if the master who feels that his prestige is challenged will take it if he lets someone into the city privately against the order?
How to sacrifice your own flag
"What else!? If you dare to delay again, I will call in!" Seeing Sean hesitating, Chekov immediately roared half-truthfully.
Of course, Naga would not impulsively start a fight unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, Krugbury already had a high-level mage in charge, and coupled with its originally large garrison, the possibility of a successful Olympus attack was almost
is zero
"This...is really..."
"Well, if you really feel embarrassed, can you ask Master Ferdinand to come here personally? After all, we can talk to the human captives, but it is too lazy to let these three Naga allies sleep in the wild."
Just when the goblin squadron leader was in a dilemma, Henry spoke again in an unusually fair manner, and such words were really reasonable. Sean had no reason to refute or refuse, so he continued to closely monitor him in place after telling his subordinates.
After that, he hurriedly jumped off the wall and ran towards Krupp City.
"Sir, what's your plan? Even if we succeed in tricking us into the city, it will be difficult for us to snatch the airship if there is a high-level mage present. Unless you can kill another one like you did in Duoyun Town.
"Master" Seeing that Krupp's wall calmed down for a moment, Henry turned around, slowly retreated to Moriarty, and whispered calmly
"What's your opinion?" Moriarty didn't look up and couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Evacuate immediately and find other ways out." The goblin mage said resolutely without thinking: "If Master Ferdinand is really in Krupp, even if we can seize an airship and lift it off, we will not be able to fly away. We will definitely be directly attacked."
If you shoot it down, there will be no luck.”
The attack range of high-level wizards' spells is far from that of low-level magic professionals. Moriarty had already realized this when he faced Robert before. If Ferdinand was not dealt with in advance, the airship slowly rising into the sky would be completely destroyed.
As a huge living target, the other party can abuse it as much as they want without any chance of fighting back.
Therefore, although the goblin mage's proposal sounds extremely negative, it is a pertinent suggestion that is in line with the actual situation at hand.
But having said that, even if Olympus escapes immediately, it will be equivalent to exposing his suspicious identity. It is conceivable that when dawn tomorrow, a large number of airships will swarm in to search for the whereabouts of Moriarty and others.
At that time, it would probably be difficult for the Olympus Commandos trapped in the hinterland of the southern ice sheet to escape.
"The original plan remains unchanged. We need to find a way to 'capture' Master Ferdinand first." Moriarty just pondered and made the final decision.
"'Capture' another master!?" Hearing this bold statement, Henry's eyes widened: "Sir, do you still have any trump cards left?"
"No." Moriarty raised his head and looked at the goblin mage: "But there is a way, you can try it."
"any solution?"
"Magic Lamp"
"Magic lamp!?"
Hearing this word, Henry couldn't help but trembled slightly
Could it be that the tired-looking alchemist Gregory was really as powerful as a high-level mage? Otherwise, how could Moriarty have the confidence to challenge Ferdinand, who was also a high-level wizard?
But then Moriarty just whispered a few words to the goblin mage, but the content of what he said made Henry feel confused. After that, Moriarty quietly recalled Tchaikov, quietly caring about something.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was suddenly a strange noise in Krupp City.
Then, a torch lighted up, and at the same time, a series of heavy and abnormal footsteps began to sound on the platform behind the wall.
Immediately, everyone in Olympus raised their heads and looked at the past
I saw Goblin Squadron Leader Sean starting, and a team of ten "War Iron Fists" suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Different from similar magic puppets that Moriarty has seen before, the shiny armplates of these tall golems are inlaid with an eye-catching golden badge. The pattern is a golden fist holding a wand, which looks like
Both domineering and fierce
It seems that these ten war iron fists are not ordinary mechanical warriors, but special combat units directly affiliated with the Kunbu Mage Group. Even with the firelight of the group, Moriarty and others can clearly see the puppets sitting inside.
The goblin pilots are also in the standard guard uniforms of the mage regiment, which is very different from the warrior uniforms of other regiments.
As the ten golems were in place, a moment later, a middle-aged goblin mage wearing a light blue corrugated mage robe slowly walked onto the platform of the wall.
Then, all the nearby goblin warriors bowed down and saluted deeply.
And he is the high-ranking mage of the Kunbu Mage Group, Ferdinand!
"Salute to you, Your Excellency, the noble deputy leader of the Khumbu Mage Group, Master Ferdinand!"
Seeing the high-level mage appear, Henry immediately followed the etiquette of magic professionals and respectfully bowed to the superior Ferdinand.
At the same time, the three-headed Naga, who had always seemed rude and arrogant, seemed to be frightened by the invisible pressure of the magic master. They all turned their sword handles upside down and gave Ferdinand a Naga greeting gift.
"Hello, three brave warriors of the Naga tribe"
As if he was satisfied with the other party's "sensible" performance, Ferdinand politely bowed his head in return to the three Naga brothers who saluted him. Although the etiquette was somewhat inferior, the personal greetings from the high-level goblin mage were also
It's a huge honor. Telling it is enough for ordinary people to show off for a lifetime.
However, when Ferdinand's eyes slowly moved over the Balalaika brothers, there was a faint look of doubt and alertness, as if he was thinking of something strange.
"Which city-state are you a mage from?"
After first greeting the three high-level Nagas, Ferdinand slowly turned his head and stared at Henry below, and his tone quickly changed from the previous gentleness to a low and majestic one.
"Master, I am a fifth-level mage from 'Silver Pine City'. I hope you will achieve the supreme glory of the Grand Arcanist as soon as possible." Under Ferdinand's gaze, sweat began to seep out of Henry's face, and he couldn't even answer.
Also with a slight vibrato
"The mage of 'Silver Pine'? Why did you come to Krupp in the middle of the night? Who are these people?" The senior mage's face was expressionless, but his tone was as if he was interrogating a suspect (to be continued...)
