Chapter 381 Under the Rain Cloud
A mage raised his hand to catch a falling snowflake.
"Wow." The knight behind him admired and drew his sword out of its sheath, shaking a few sword flowers in the air. When he retracted the sword, a stack of thin paper had been rolled up on the tip of the sword. He looked at it without protection and took the paper to look at it. The mage said, "Interesting."
The middle mage, Pepys, flattened the letter from a stranger, and looked at the quality of the paper before he could read the contents clearly.It is very light, very thin, and flexible to the touch. Some plant fibers can be seen visually, but it is still smooth to the touch. It is different from any alien paper shown to them by the Mage Union, but it also reflects superb paper technology.
Then he looked at the content.
The knight praised softly. The mage folded the paper and put it in his arms. He raised his head and looked around the valley. Shocking the aftermath of spells and screaming in panic, some people still don't understand what happened, even high-ranking mages are still in shock, and ordinary soldiers are even more frightened like bee swarms that have burned their nests, running all over the pits and valleys. Yes, the attacks of the foreigners stopped for almost a quarter of an hour, and the lower-ranking officers who had been reprimanded finally rushed over, reluctantly gathering the panicked animals.
Most of the soldiers who returned to the camp were holding papers that fell from the sky, although they were almost illiterate and could not understand the meaning of even a sentence on it.The officers yelled at them to hand in these "blasphemous things", and the soldiers did so with difficulty. The collected heretical documents were quickly burned, but the pollution was not eliminated because the strangers threw There are too many tall trees in this flat valley, but there are weeds and basil everywhere. As far as the eye can see, there are dots everywhere, and the soldiers only got a small part.
The officers had to send these fools again to collect them, and the soldiers slowly sifted through the valley like a coarse net, throwing dozens of expensive papers into the raging fire one after another until the sun went down.But that still doesn't satisfy the grown-ups.
"You bastards! Look here, look there! Everywhere, everywhere! You blind idiots, I should tear out your eyeballs and throw them in the fire!"
But the soldiers did not become more active because of this. Instead, they complained loudly that they were hungry and had no strength, and it was getting dark, and they couldn't see anything—they were not foreigners who could eat three meals a day!
The commotion and clamor annoyed the mages.The stranger's dismounting has already made them lose face--not only lose face, just think about it, if the stranger cast something other than these flimsy papers-and they didn't even notice the omen of the attack !It was their protective walls that protected everyone. These mortals were not only ungrateful, but also so noisy. They were obviously just a group of plundering assistants put together—after hanging the heads of a few shameless people, the mortals finally behaved obediently. Shut up.
But mages are not cruel people.After the small punishment and the big commandment, a gust of wind blew across the valley, and among the swaying vegetation, those fish that slipped through the net with demagogic words and broken leaves and grass branches were swept up into the sky by extraordinary power. A bright fire dragon was burned.
Amidst the sound of exclamation, black and ash were scattered with the wind, and soldiers from all over the world sneezed violently while praising the power of the archmage loudly, the alliance will surely crush the heresy and so on.The mages were finally able to temporarily eliminate the interference and continue to think about that difficult question:
How to defeat aliens?
There is no need to wait for the report from Orbis Palace, the mages have already calculated the result: the attack comes from the sea.That's a very, very scary outcome.
It's not that no one has thought about what it would be like to be captured by a foreigner, but the way the foreigner sniped was beyond anyone's imagination.After all, the distance between this unknown valley and Fusong Port is more than ten squares. It has already surpassed the sight of ordinary people, and it has also surpassed the distance of a mage to cast spells—even if he is a Dharma Saint.The fact that the strangers could cast such terrible power across mountains and rivers, and only for deterrence, meant that they still had power.The mages are not very willing to guess how much this "surplus power" is.
The white ship was more powerful than their worst expectations, it changed the normal form of warfare, and the default rules of the mages seemed to have no effect on this monster.Knowing this, the top ten judges of the Five Regions flinched a little. The monsters like foreigners can break through the barriers maintained by the three great mages across the mountains and rivers. —The wealth ahead is certainly very attractive, but the enemy is so powerful, what price will they have to pay to win?
Mages defy such fears.
The strength of the aliens is the strength of the artifacts, they do not have any extraordinary power themselves, they are just mortals - this is what they themselves have always admitted, and it has also been repeatedly confirmed by the Orbis people.They have no talent for strength, and the only wisdom they have is mostly used for meaningless mundane affairs. Although some kind of will behind them can be detected from clues, in the eyes of the mages, even if that will is conspired by the mysterious The country of Biss is also too narrow-minded and naive in its methods.
Only power is truth in this world.The nature of gifted people is different from ordinary people. God makes them so extraordinary. Their wisdom and time should be used to pursue more, stronger and more eternal power, instead of indulging in worldly desires and devoting precious power to the unknown. in the political game.For example, the white boat was used for transportation. Although I don't know what kind of division of labor is in the ethnic group of foreigners, this practice is undoubtedly a humiliation to its builders!
Such a fortress at sea should serve a greater purpose in the hands of those who need it.
The more they realized the extraordinaryness of the white boat, the more the mages fell in love with it, and the more distressed they were.They wanted her, explored her, controlled her more than ever before.
But the foreigners have already expressed their attitude, they will not give up anything, the white ship is still in their hands, the risk of war is higher than before, even the archmage cannot face the blow of the white ship , they had to re-plan carefully.This will undoubtedly be a tough battle, and the mages will never retreat until all the mortals in this army are killed.
The armies will still march on, the will of mages is stronger than steel, and there are a hundred ways to ensure it.But unnecessary losses should also be avoided. After all, mortals are not puppets, and the intimidation of foreigners is effective on them. If casualties are encountered on the road, this group of mobs may rebel. There are some methods that they themselves do not want to use.
But, how to make the strangers guarantee that they will not take the initiative to attack before their army reaches the hill of Uros?
At this time, the managers of Orbis Kingdom should show the value of their existence.
The order of the Mage Union flew into the palace on the top of Uros Hill. The lights in the palace were bright all night. After dawn, a group of messengers walked out of the palace wall with a sad face, walked down the Silver Avenue, stepped into the lower city, and walked through the winding alleys After a while, Ai Ai came to the foreigner's sentry post.After taking out the king's handbook, they were allowed to enter the new city, and they took it for a while before leaving.
When they left, their footsteps were brisk and their expressions were joyful, but amidst the joy, there was some hesitation and uneasiness.
The stranger agreed to this unreasonable request.Are they crazy!Still confident?
But those are three archmages... and there are fifty thousand troops!Are they going to fight one against a hundred?Are they really that powerful?
Of course, the foreigner also put forward some conditions to the king, which made the king's blood boil, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to agree to all of them.As long as the coalition wins, the humiliation of today will be the glory of the future, although there are some people who whispered doubts: Can Orbis go back to the past if the Mage Alliance takes the place of the stranger?As soon as the voice fell, this ignorant person was immediately scolded by the rest of the nobles. If the haggard Duke hadn't pushed him out of the meeting hall, this stupid guy would have been stabbed to death with a random sword——
How dare he speak the truth!
Before they lured the foreigner's captain and his party into the palace trap and launched an attack on the pier, the foreigner's calmness was the same as today.It's not that they have grown their heads for nothing, so how could they not learn the lesson?The strangers knew about their plan at some point, but kept them a secret!No one knows today, they have been set on fire, and there is only one way forward, so they can only go on with a hard scalp—the Mage Alliance has developed rapidly in the five regions and ten countries, and there are many opponents in the process. Most of the mages fell silent afterwards, and kings and princes soon learned the power of mages united.The mages of the alliance don't care much about the power in the world, but they care very much about someone who owes their debts. For these noble mages, the transaction is established from the moment they nod, not to mention the nobles of Orbis. The interest of the last battle at the docks and the last sea ambush has not been settled with them.
Although the king and nobles had made up their minds against all odds, the prospects for victory did not seem very bright.
They have no way out - even if there is, it is not something they will consider.
Destiny... Destiny!
If the stranger had never been here...
The sorrows and joys of human beings are not intertwined, and the ruler of Orbis indulged in his own pain, and had no time to take care of the panic of the residents of the royal capital.The repeated loud noises from the white ship brought back memories of the terrible battle last year. Although the foreigner's attack was not in the capital, the rumors were still rampant.Amidst all the confusion and panic, the news that the mage alliance was coming to attack foreigners spread quickly, but not many people believed it at the beginning——mage alliance?Isn't it a little ridiculous that they came to attack foreigners?How could the king and the nobles allow this to happen, allowing outsiders to fight in their own capital?Even if it is an infinite step back, the tax paid by the strangers to the king also includes the income of the mages. What kind of hatred do they have against the strangers to start a war so suddenly?
However, the disseminator continued to add a lot of convincing content to this rumor, making this terrible statement spread throughout the city at the fastest speed. As word of mouth spread, the rumor gradually deformed and found that they were dragged into two forces In the midst of the struggle, and the army of the Mage Alliance arrived immediately, the residents finally panicked.Some residents of the upper city packed up their property as quickly as possible, and fled to the suburbs with their families. The gates of the Sifang city were opened wide, allowing them to drive out-this move further confirmed the credibility of the rumors, so more people Start fleeing the city.
No one obstructed them, even some minor nobles joined the crowds leaving the city with their motorcades, and the upper city was becoming empty.But more—"real"—nobles stayed behind, their servants closed the doors tightly, and guards stood in the courtyard with weapons in hand, and together with the noble members of the family, they looked up in the direction of the palace.Although behind this tragic scene, it is not known how many people's back doors were quietly opened, and how many people with simple clothes and extraordinary manners took their luggage and got into the carriage.
In addition to these "truly noble" nobles, there are also some loyal subjects living in the second city wall who are also unmoved by the rumors. They do not believe that the struggle between foreigners and the king will have such an unreasonable development. Some kind of conspiracy by some kind of absurdity, this absurdity has such a shape, and can spread so fast, it is precisely in response to the threats they made the day before!
Although not many people agree with them, and even the priests in the neighborhood churches ran away, they did not change their original intentions. They cursed and spurned the residents of the royal capital who passed in front of them, thinking that they were cowardly and shameful, but at this moment they turned to Go to strangers.If the adults of the Mage Alliance come, you should be killed one by one by their extraordinary power, then cut into pieces, burned to ashes, thrown into the sea, and your soul will never return home!
People hurried past with their clothes, wives and children, and had no time to pay attention to these frustrated people full of hatred. The strangers bought all the hotel rooms and vacated all the houses under their control, but it is hard to say that they can accommodate so many People, everyone wants to have a spacious place.Only some half-grown children found their voices harsh, grabbed the sand on the side of the road and threw them at them as they passed by, so these former small shopkeepers, second-hand dealers and gangsters returned to the house and continued to curse through the door.
The lower city is gradually full of people, although in such a short period of time, the foreigners have prepared such a resettlement area, orderly arranged the residents of the royal capital who came to ask for asylum one by one, it is hard not to doubt that the news is them Let it go, but no one sees it as a moral blemish on them.People who will come here believe that the war was not initiated by foreigners, and most of those who fled the capital do not believe it. After the Battle of the Dock, Orbis has undergone so many changes. If the residents of the capital have to choose a winner , they will not choose the Mage Alliance.
When night comes, strangers set up big pots on street corners, and the aroma of the food gradually disperses. The refugees take out their bowls and spoons, walk out of the low huts, and line up in the alleys. Human patrols walked through the streets with lanterns, hanging lanterns here and there while maintaining order.
These lights will stay on until dawn.
The same lights shone on the new city, and the laborers who had eaten dinner and rested for a while walked out of the dormitory and went to the night school to start their evening classes.Although they are buried in labor during the day, they are not ignorant of what happened yesterday. Unlike the people outside the wall, the laborers may know more about this upcoming war than many people in the city. Who are they, where are they from, and what do they want? Before the white ship's cannon fired, their captains at all levels had already summoned them and said clearly that this really shocked a large group of people, so that most of yesterday's work was done by them. Finished on the marking line.Although the captains didn't blame anything, the workers who lost their attendance rewards were still annoyed, both at the Orbis nobles and the Mage Union, and at themselves.
Groups of laborers walked through the street, noises from the evacuated residents came from outside the wall, and people on both sides were discussing the same thing.
People outside the wall want to know when this war will start and when it will end, whether the foreigners can keep the battlefield from going beyond the upper city, and whether they can keep this new city; How do people deal with the kings and nobles who broke the contract, whether they can really be polite to those uninvited mages, and the impact of this war on them and the residents outside the wall.
"Strangers" did not let the residents of the upper city enter the wall, so that the laborers felt valued, and some people who performed well in the labor were selected to manage the refuge area, which made them feel a little proud-see you still have He didn't look at people with his nose covered!It's just...they are also afraid that these people may come to compete with them for jobs if they know the benefits of "foreigners".
Those who voiced concerns were applauded by some partners and met with some ridicule.
"You think so much!"
"People don't look down on us inferior people, let alone this dirty and tiring work!"
Those who agreed countered: "Then who was waiting outside the door every day to make a deal? And who was the one who was squeezed out of their livelihood?"
"They are not superior!"
"Those who have domestic servants are not upper-class people, and only the nobles in the city can be considered upper-class people!"
The laborers were noisy, but the debate was not serious. These are things that need to be thought about after the war is over. The "stranger" taught them by precept and example.
Few asked what would happen if the Stranger lost the war.
"They won't lose. Everyone is underestimating them, and they don't know their true strength." A short man holding a textbook with a broken elbow said.
His voice is not loud, and almost only the people around him can hear him clearly. He lost one arm and three fingers on his right hand. He is disabled, but his eyes are very flexible. Four or five people formed a small group with him as the center. They There is a difference in demeanor from other workers, but it is not particularly out of place.
"If they are willing to ask for it, I will try to spare some effort." The former thief laughed, "But..."
"But there are only three elves, is that enough for the Mage Alliance?" His companion asked softly.
"It doesn't matter whether there are three or thirty elves, and they don't depend on them." The former thief and now the trainee teacher said, "They don't depend on anything but themselves."
His companion nodded silently, just like the attack of the Mage Alliance this time, even though they were among the "foreigners", they still don't know how they can obtain the The exact news of so many opponents, and make complete preparations for it.This is not something that the elves can explain when they lead their scouts, although there may be as many incomprehensible things in the "stranger" as in this ocean.
A very young mercenary member asked: "Since they don't rely on anything, don't lack anything, don't want women or treasure, and don't act like a domineering and enslaving people, what made them come to such a remote place and do such a thing?" What a useless thing? Are the souls of these alliance people being manipulated by some magic?"
The trainee teacher glanced at him.
"Idiot!" He said coldly, "Why do you think the leader paid such a high price for you to come here? Did he also have his soul manipulated?"
The young mercenary shut his mouth and lowered his head.Someone secretly gave him an elbow, and said with a smile: "Speaking of our leader, where should he be now? Inside or outside the wall?"
Another person took his words and said as a matter of course: "Of course he is where his confederate brothers are."
Someone tutted, "Their friendship is really rising faster than the tide."
"They've known each other since Baichuan first arrived in Fusong Port." The former thief said, his tone became more dignified, "But if it weren't for me, they would just know each other after drinking and fighting. People. The leader's temper is really not good, but that alliance member is good, and the leader's vision for finding friends is much better than he is looking for women."
"But the alliance members are always very busy, and they don't like to find women. The team leader is probably boring."
"There have been no women for a long time. Ninety-nine percent of them have been taken into the women's labor camp by the Alliance people. It would be boring not to go to this friend's leader." Another person said, "This Alliance person friend can do a lot of things. , Maybe let the head of the ship come on board? The head has always wanted to go to the ship to have a look."
The others clicked their tongues in admiration again, "If the leader can go up, we also want to see that thing called 'cannon'..."
"It should be okay after the war, right?" the young mercenary couldn't help but said, "We're already on the side of the Alliance, and we'll help them fight the mage."
The others looked at him together and shook their heads together.
"You think so beautifully, boy."
"Can the Alliance use us?"
The young man under the lamp raised his head and looked at the head of the mercenary group who asked this question.
"Of course it does," he replied.
"Wow." The knight behind him admired and drew his sword out of its sheath, shaking a few sword flowers in the air. When he retracted the sword, a stack of thin paper had been rolled up on the tip of the sword. He looked at it without protection and took the paper to look at it. The mage said, "Interesting."
The middle mage, Pepys, flattened the letter from a stranger, and looked at the quality of the paper before he could read the contents clearly.It is very light, very thin, and flexible to the touch.

As far as the eye can see, there are dots everywhere, and the soldiers only got a small part.
The officers had to send these fools again to collect them, and the soldiers slowly sifted through the valley like a coarse net, throwing dozens of expensive papers into the raging fire one after another until the sun went down.But that still doesn't satisfy the grown-ups.
"You bastards! Look here, look there! Everywhere, everywhere! You blind idiots, I should tear out your eyeballs and throw them in the fire!"

Groups of laborers walked through the street, noises from the evacuated residents came from outside the wall, and people on both sides were discussing the same thing.
People outside the wall want to know when this war will start and when it will end, whether the foreigners can keep the battlefield from going beyond the upper city, and whether they can keep this new city; How do people deal with the kings and nobles who broke the contract, whether they can really be polite to those uninvited mages, and the impact of this war on them and the residents outside the wall.
"Strangers" did not let the residents of the upper city enter the wall, so that the laborers felt valued, and some people who performed well in the labor were selected to manage the refuge area, which made them feel a little proud-see you still have He didn't look at people with his nose covered!It's just...they are also afraid that these people may come to compete with them for jobs if they know the benefits of "foreigners".
Those who voiced concerns were applauded by some partners and met with some ridicule.
"You think so much!"
"People don't look down on us inferior people, let alone this dirty and tiring work!"
Those who agreed countered: "Then who was waiting outside the door every day to make a deal? And who was the one who was squeezed out of their livelihood?"
"They are not superior!"
"Those who have domestic servants are not upper-class people, and only the nobles in the city can be considered upper-class people!"
The laborers were noisy, but the debate was not serious. These are things that need to be thought about after the war is over. The "stranger" taught them by precept and example.
Few asked what would happen if the Stranger lost the war.
"They won't lose. Everyone is underestimating them, and they don't know their true strength." A short man holding a textbook with a broken elbow said.
His voice is not loud, and almost only the people around him can hear him clearly. He lost one arm and three fingers on his right hand. He is disabled, but his eyes are very flexible. Four or five people formed a small group with him as the center. They There is a difference in demeanor from other workers, but it is not particularly out of place.
"If they are willing to ask for it, I will try to spare some effort." The former thief laughed, "But..."
"But there are only three elves, is that enough for the Mage Alliance?" His companion asked softly.
"It doesn't matter whether there are three or thirty elves, and they don't depend on them." The former thief and now the trainee teacher said, "They don't depend on anything but themselves."
His companion nodded silently, just like the attack of the Mage Alliance this time, even though they were among the "foreigners", they still don't know how they can obtain the The exact news of so many opponents, and make complete preparations for it.This is not something that the elves can explain when they lead their scouts, although there may be as many incomprehensible things in the "stranger" as in this ocean.
A very young mercenary member asked: "Since they don't rely on anything, don't lack anything, don't want women or treasure, and don't act like a domineering and enslaving people, what made them come to such a remote place and do such a thing?" What a useless thing? Are the souls of these alliance people being manipulated by some magic?"
The trainee teacher glanced at him.
"Idiot!" He said coldly, "Why do you think the leader paid such a high price for you to come here? Did he also have his soul manipulated?"
The young mercenary shut his mouth and lowered his head.Someone secretly gave him an elbow, and said with a smile: "Speaking of our leader, where should he be now? Inside or outside the wall?"
Another person took his words and said as a matter of course: "Of course he is where his confederate brothers are."
Someone tutted, "Their friendship is really rising faster than the tide."
"They've known each other since Baichuan first arrived in Fusong Port." The former thief said, his tone became more dignified, "But if it weren't for me, they would just know each other after drinking and fighting. People. The leader's temper is really not good, but that alliance member is good, and the leader's vision for finding friends is much better than he is looking for women."
"But the alliance members are always very busy, and they don't like to find women. The team leader is probably boring."
"There have been no women for a long time. Ninety-nine percent of them have been taken into the women's labor camp by the Alliance people. It would be boring not to go to this friend's leader." Another person said, "This Alliance person friend can do a lot of things. , Maybe let the head of the ship come on board? The head has always wanted to go to the ship to have a look."
The others clicked their tongues in admiration again, "If the leader can go up, we also want to see that thing called 'cannon'..."
"It should be okay after the war, right?" the young mercenary couldn't help but said, "We're already on the side of the Alliance, and we'll help them fight the mage."
The others looked at him together and shook their heads together.
"You think so beautifully, boy."
"Can the Alliance use us?"
The young man under the lamp raised his head and looked at the head of the mercenary group who asked this question.
"Of course it does," he replied.
