The old man was very happy.

"Teacher, when can you build a mage tower?" Huo Ling felt relieved after hearing this.

"Me? Even if I sell all your flesh and bones, I can't raise enough money for a mage tower."

He Wenhan's smile froze, revealing a familiar expression of a poor man.

"Mage tower... Alas, it's hard to say whether I can build it in this life." He Wenhan sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Mage tower is the most important thing for mages.

It costs a lot to build a mage tower, and there are also strict requirements for the spells and runes mastered by the mage. If the spells, arrays, and runes mastered are too few, it can't be built even if there is money.

Of course, more mages cannot save enough money to build a mage tower. When they are in the Mage Sanctuary, they can start to prepare to build a mage tower.

But the various magic materials needed for the mage tower are like a mountain, which makes all the mages unable to lift their backs.

Many mages in the Sanctuary have been working hard for others for most of their lives to make money to build a mage tower.

The mage tower has many functions. The mage tower has extremely high combat effectiveness. The tower body can engrave a large number of defensive spells and provide a spell shield of sufficient strength.

At the same time, the mage tower also has a unique role in offense. A large number of attack spells are engraved. These spells can be activated only by the tower owner providing mental guidance.

Not only that, the mage tower generally has the ability to communicate with the elemental plane or the void, which have violent and huge energy.

Through a unique magic array, the mage tower can accumulate and store this energy, and screen and distinguish it for power supply of the mage tower.

It can be said that a wizard in his wizard tower has no shortage of magic power, and he can directly connect to the energy pool of the wizard tower.

Various spells with huge consumption can be thrown out as free as drinking water, and the wizard tower also has various amplifications for these spells.

Increase strength, range, reduce release time, etc.

It can be said that a wizard with a wizard tower and a wizard without a wizard tower are completely two different combat units.

Of course, the role of the wizard tower is not only reflected in combat, but also has great help for spell research and wizard meditation.

The wizard tower can also help mages delve into and master various secondary rules and underlying rules.

"Don't talk about these useless things. Don't stay too far away from me in the next battle. Try to stay in the central tower of the fortress." He Wenhan said seriously.

"Yes! Teacher." Huo Ling nodded.

"The war is fierce and dangerous. Even if we are inside the fortress, we are not necessarily safe. There are still too many jackals. Even if the Saint Domain Legend does not take action, it is possible to break through this place by relying on the advantage of numbers."

"Let's do our best to kill more enemies." He Wenhan ordered.

"Yes! Teacher, I understand."

"Take this." He Wenhan handed over a scroll.

"Teacher, what is this?" Huo Ling asked puzzledly after taking it.

"This is a random teleportation scroll. If the enemy breaks through this place and it is impossible, you tear it up and activate it. It can help you escape from here and teleport to a place with a radius of about 100 kilometers."

"Then you will honestly find a place to hide. After all, staying alive is the most important thing." He Wenhan explained patiently.

"Teacher, you gave me this thing, what will you do?" Huo Ling looked at the teacher and felt warm in his heart.

"Silly child, I have it too." He Wenhan smiled slightly, patted Huo Ling on the shoulder, and took out another teleportation scroll.

The master and the apprentice smiled at each other, and neither of them mentioned the other people stationed on the fortress wall.

The teleportation scroll is a great weapon to save lives. Not to mention the price, it must be very expensive.

And there won't be too many of these things. Huo Ling already thinks it's very good that the teacher can give him one.

Huo Ling is not stupid enough to ask why he doesn't give some to others. This is unrealistic.

If the fortress is breached, the local garrison, those apprentice-level warriors basically have no second way out, and they are probably killed in the battle.

And those silver-level warriors are not related to Huo Ling and his apprentice. If the city is breached, it depends on their luck.

...

The breath of war is constantly approaching, but Kangchuan Fort still maintains a rare quietness. It has been half a month, and no jackals have come to attack.

Every day Huo Ling stays in the central tower,

I meditate and practice here, and sometimes I help my teacher with experiments.

Every day, the latest battle situation is transmitted through the communication array, so that Master Huo Ling and his apprentice can keep up with the latest situation of the war.

The attacking gnoll army this time is composed of three great noble coalitions in the gnoll empire. Along the way, they cleaned up the disputed area between Xinnan City and the gnoll kingdom.

This area was originally left by Xinnan City on purpose, and a large number of spiritual alien tribes lived there. At this moment, all these tribes were cleared, and all those who dared to resist were killed.

Their assets were confiscated, strong tribesmen were incorporated into cannon fodder, and women and children were transported back to the country to serve as slaves.

The gnoll army launched an attack on a fortress on the front line of Xinnan City, but it was only a taste, and did not launch a full-scale attack.

On the front line against the jackals, Xinnan City built a total of three medium-sized fortresses. These three fortresses were not only built with larger specifications and stronger defense, but also had more soldiers and professionals stationed there.

The chief officers of the garrison were all professionals above the Saint Realm. The fortresses were the real stabilizer of the Xinnan City front line. As long as these three fortresses were not taken down, the jackals would not be able to attack Xinnan City.

However, although the jackals were blocked outside by the fortresses, they still divided their troops and sent small elite forces deep into the hinterland.

During this period, many plantations and monster farms behind the fortresses suffered greatly. After being recruited by Xinnan City, the defense forces of these places were not as good as before.

Although the valuables had been taken away by their bosses when the war came, there were still many good things left in the original place.

It is not cost-effective to take away potions and low-level monsters that have not yet reached the harvest stage. Xinnan City cannot put them away and does not have enough manpower to do it.

Now they are all destroyed. The looting team of the jackals will not save money for humans. They take away everything they can take away and destroy what they cannot take away on the spot.

Some employees who stayed in the plantations and monster farms were brutally killed except for those who escaped cleverly.

For a time, the hinterland of Xinnan City was full of smoke, which caused huge economic losses to Xinnan City.

Even if the jackals were defeated in the end, these economic losses would bankrupt many bosses. You should know that many plantation owners and farm owners were engaged in loans, and this time they were all destroyed by the jackals.
