Celestial Mage

Chapter 357 Preparations Before the Great War (13)

One p.m.

The Cavidi family castle was officially renamed as the temporary residence of the High Lord of the Islands.

Rosen, Anvinia, and Lydia took the core of the alloy god iron, walked around the castle, and used the high-level petrification technique to fully reinforce the entire castle.

At first it was done by three people, but later Heya Jiali couldn't sit still and joined in.

With the addition of a powerful new force, the progress was greatly accelerated.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon when the reinforcement was completed.

In this way, every corner of the castle became a solid bunker.

The crescent warriors stationed in it can use the cover to resist powerful single-body magic attacks as long as they shrink their bodies.

Similar to hail, water arrows are basically no threat.

Of course, in the face of group powerful spells such as bolides, pure water explosions, and tidal surges, the defensive effect will be greatly reduced, so you must find another way to deal with them.

After finishing their work, the four mages and the head of the legion, Angelo, went to the castle conference hall to discuss the follow-up action plan.

At the long table of the meeting, Rosen and Hejali were naturally seated at the main seats, while Anvinia, Lydia, and Anglo sat on both sides.

After sitting down, Lydia carefully played with the alloy god iron core in her hand, the expression on her face was both love and hate.

"This magic weapon is really powerful, but the side effects are also quite serious."

The biggest side effect is mana passivation!

A large amount of new mana flushes the soul, and after a long time, it will reduce the master's mana control.

If you don't pay attention, it will greatly wear down your spellcasting ability, and even drop your star.

When she said that, the other two women nodded in sympathy.

Rosen is naturally aware of this side effect, but he himself has countermeasures.

There are currently three options.

One is to practice as much as possible.

The second is to reluctantly strengthen the soul tentacles every once in a while.

Third, adjust the soul structure, open up a unique power channel, let the new mana pass through the surface as much as possible, without washing out the deep soul structure.

Of course, most people can't do these methods.Especially the second and third ones, not only need enough soul knowledge, but also a tough soul.

But fortunately, as long as the core usage skills are mastered, the passivation effect is still within an acceptable range.

He smiled and comforted: "Every harvest in the world has to pay a price, which is the basis of the law of fair trade."

"Moreover, there is no need to use it frequently, it is mainly for emergency."

As long as you don't use it at the limit of your ability, the side effects of mana passivation will be greatly reduced.

Speaking of this, he began to get straight to the point.

"Very soon, Archmage Van Ganning will spread the news to the entire Beluga Island. At that time, the remaining five families on the island will definitely join forces to deal with us."

"But because I have the legal status of a great lord, I have the firm support of the temple, and I have announced a new policy of tax exemption for the whole island for three years, so it is difficult for people from the five major families to mobilize the xenophobia of the islanders to isolate us."

"And the longer it goes on, the more the tax-free narrative becomes more pervasive, the better for us."

"So, the best way for them to deal with us is to dispatch the elite forces at the top as quickly as possible to decapitate us."

Hearing this, Heya Jiali's eyes flashed with anxiety and excitement.

"Bro, what should we do?"

Rosen naturally prepared a plan.

"First of all, once the detector detects that a large number of enemies are approaching, Jiali, you immediately fly Sky-5000 to an altitude of [-] meters, ready to support at any time."

There are 300 rounds of rune shells in the cannon of the new fighter plane, 30 rounds were knocked out before, and there are 270 rounds left.

This is their strongest attack power, as long as it is used well, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of combat.

"no problem!"

Heya Jiali looked excited. She was still reminiscing about the few seconds of battle before, and she felt that she was controlling the supreme power in her hands.

Rosen looked at Anvinia again: "Your task is to bless every warrior in the castle with a high-level thorn shield."

Anviniya was shocked: "Teacher, I can't do it."

With the core of the god iron, it is not afraid that the mana is not enough, but the spells are not mastered.

Rosen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have prepared an auxiliary casting staff for this spell. With it, the difficulty will be reduced from 14 stars to 9 stars. It's all right now, right?"

He handed Anvinia a staff.

He also knew that Anviniya's spellcasting ability had been raised from the initial 8 stars to 12 stars.

The reason why it is so fast is because her mana base is too huge.

Anviniya took the staff, felt it carefully, and then nodded: "Although I still feel a little guilty, the problem should not be serious."

Then, Rosen looked at Lydia.

"The opponent chooses the beheading tactic, and the attack time is likely to be in the dark. The vision in the dark is extremely poor, which is very unfavorable for high-speed flying."

"So, your mission is to go to the sky with Madam, and assist Madam to observe the ground situation together with Leliana, in order to deal with possible unexpected situations."

Lydia nodded: "Yes, Lord."

He Yajiali asked: "Is my brother still planning to use the Storm Domain?"

Rosen nodded: "That's right. But it's a little different from before. It was an encounter before, and we didn't have much preparation. But this time, we are a defensive counterattack."

He Yajiali was very worried about Rosen's safety, so she quickly asked, "What's the difference?"

"Later, I will set mirror image runes in the castle and the White Gull Town area. As long as I have a thought, the runes will generate my image, which can greatly confuse the opponent."

"In addition, many strong bunkers will be set up."

"Just hide in there for five or six seconds, and my mana will recover enough to go back into battle."

"In addition, I have two spare star mystic gemstones in the back cabin, a total of 2000 Fossa, and they are also full. It is completely enough for me to deal with unexpected situations."

3000 Feusa's Star Mystery Gems, all the free gems are here, and you can access the consumption of 3 master level 9 spells.

Then, the ultra-sensitive detectors guarantee that they will definitely have the first move advantage.

With the first mover advantage at home, coupled with the interference of various phantoms, Sky Two's lore, and 500 elite fighters as the backing, it is hard to believe that the elite of the five major families will not be killed.

Heya Jiali was still a little worried.

"Brother, are you being too impatient? Actually, you can take your time."

Rosen shook his head: "If it is inland, it is indeed a little urgent, and it will cause huge troubles. But the archipelago is different."

"The information in this place is closed, and the connection with the mainland is very weak, so it will not cause interference from noble lords in other places."

"It can also be seen from the previous battles that the islanders have a tough temperament and advocate force. Using force to conquer them is the fastest and least troublesome way."

As he spoke, he used another voice of his own soul.

"Carrie, to develop the archipelago as soon as possible will not only allow us to be together faster, but also to deal with the extraordinary battle that may break out at any time."

Heya Jiali was startled: "Will the extraordinary war break out at any time?"

"Yes, at any time. We must accumulate enough strength as soon as possible before it erupts."

"Then why not make this news public throughout the Golden Land? So that everyone can unite?"

As soon as Heya Jiali finished speaking, she felt that her words were a bit childish.

"Oh~ Unity seems to be difficult."

Not all mortals have the courage to fight against God, because there is still an easy way, called lying down and being a dog!

Obviously, this must be the choice of most mortals.

Therefore, if this news is really announced, not to mention causing widespread panic, the land of gold may immediately fall apart and become a place of war.

Looking at her expression, Rosen knew that she had figured it out, so he said softly: "Let's develop first and show the ability to fight extraordinary, only then can we gather a large number of followers."

How to show it?

Of course, it is an extraordinary feat to show, such as building a large floating city with a diameter of more than 1 lam.

Looking at Anglo again: "General, do you have any questions?"

Anglo looked worried: "There are less than 4000 rounds of rune bullets."

Automatic rifles are too powerful, the longer they are used, the more dependent they become.

He now finds the traditional martial arts of samurai ridiculous, and he himself has not used them for a long time. Apart from endurance and strength training, he is all practicing with guns.

Just think about how to shoot more accurately, and how to use a rifle to deal with various unexpected situations.

But now that the ammunition is insufficient, my heart suddenly panics.

Rosen smiled: "Don't panic. If there are no accidents, the supplies will arrive in an hour or two."

Anglo nodded: "I hope I can get the supplies as soon as possible."

But he didn't see the real thing, so he kept thinking about it.

Rosen couldn't solve it, so he clapped his hands.

"Okay, after using the petrification spell all afternoon, the mage is also tired, so take a good rest, accumulate energy, and be ready for the big battle at any time."

There are enough rooms in the castle, all of which are well furnished and comfortable to live in.

Several mages were indeed tired, so they all went to rest, but Rosen was still full of energy.

He took the magic weapon, and under the guard of a centurion, he began to set up various runes around the castle.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Anglo came to report.

"Lord, we have received a communication from Master Howl, saying that they will be here soon!"

He looked relaxed, and all the pressure in his heart was relieved.

Rosen's eyes also brightened: "It's just in time!"

After a while, a black dot flew in the sky.

When they flew closer, they found that they were a group of square suspension vehicles.

This is a cargo suspension vehicle, used to transport supplies.

Xinyue Town only urgently built ten vehicles, and all of them were used at this time.

Each car is small, with a square cargo compartment, 5 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2 meters high. The cargo capacity is about 8 tons.

There is no technical content to build.

In fact, apart from the core components of the divine iron core and the mysterious gemstones of the stars, everything else was made by alchemy apprentices.

Naturally, a magic weapon of this quality cannot be used in battle, but it is completely sufficient as a logistics transport vehicle.

And this is just the first batch of materials, and there will be many more batches that will be delivered one by one.

The lead driving mage is Howl.

After he got off the suspension vehicle first, he opened the rear cargo box of the suspension vehicle with a bang sound.

The cargo boxes of other suspended vehicles were also opened one by one.

In the supply, there are [-] rounds of standard rune bullets, [-] rounds of cannon shells, and a lot of food, medicine, and first-aid supplies.

The urgent need was solved at once.

In addition, there are also a group of servants from Crescent Tie, mainly cooks, personal maids, sundry servants and so on.

These minions are of course not necessary, but most importantly, can be trusted.

Otherwise, this person who is not familiar with the place of life, who knows if he will infiltrate the opponent among the servants.

Either poisoning, or making trouble at a critical moment, that is really a small person changing the big history.

Seeing the arrival of the second batch of supplies, Rosen felt a lot easier.

He went over to say hello to Hal.

"Is the road going well?"

Hal patted the carriage and said with a smile: "It went very smoothly. This thing drives very stably, but the loading capacity is a little less and the speed is a little slower."

Rosen said with a smile: "Use it first, wait for the development of the archipelago, and then study faster and bigger large suspension vehicles."

He looked at the other mages who were driving, and they were also hired by the New Moon Territory.

All of them are middle-level mages, and they are all a little tired after driving the suspension car for nearly ten hours.

Rosen waved his hand: "Okay, everyone go to rest, the room is ready."

"Wait a minute, dinner will be ready."

So, the soldiers and servants began to help unload the truck.

After a while, the cooks cooked the food, and the strong aroma of the food soon filled the entire castle.

　The plot of receiving the archipelago will be finished today.
