Chapter 692: Chapter 289 Torri Fortress_3
Isn’t this just a living alchemy weapon!
When the time comes and I’m needed, I’ll make an appearance, get it done directly...
Right, maybe I can also go and play with the title of a human stronghold, there’s a title of an Elven Lord right here, might as well make use of it!
This way, it can speed up the consumption of these strongholds, and taking them down one by one avoids facing too many enemies at once, keeping losses within an acceptable range..."
With the plan set, Bai Yi immediately began to arrange it.
Although it sounds easy, the first thing to solve is how to carry the mechanical brain worms that make up the giant cannon.
Bai Yi plans to use Space Ability for this and tasked Ju with finding a solution.
As for gathering intelligence on solitary targets, Fei Wen can handle it. Its current stealth capabilities are hard to detect by ordinary means, and even if caught, it would be regarded as an enemy’s reconnaissance method, not linked to her.
The plan in place, soon a letter set off from the Elf Forest, "passing through" quite a few cities, finally reaching a 9th-tier stronghold on the frontline.
......
Demon Mountain, Torri Fortress, Conference Room
As the front line against demons, in this fortress named after himself, Torri may not be the strongest, but he is certainly the best at waging war.
Even those in the Empire stronger than him, including their Emperor, Great Mage Magga, listen to his arrangements.
And he does not disappoint, managing to block the demons with less high-tier combat power, not allowing the first line of defense to be broken through in a month.
While this is also due to the spells studied by various Magic Masters of the Empire, his command indeed played no small role.
So much so that he was permitted not to fight personally at the front, even if it meant he barely left this conference room, either dealing with military affairs or researching tactics and meeting with other 9th-tiers.
At this moment, he was troubled by the front line situation.
Knock knock knock...
A symbolic knock sounded for a moment, then the conference room door was pushed open. A soldier covered head to toe in enchanted armor quickly approached, delivering a piece of intelligence, and just as quickly departed.
Torri took it, his expression sinking, unable to hide his sadness.
"Old Ryan...
Even you couldn’t hold on, the power of that first-appearing greater demon is truly troublesome, facing the power of decline directly.
It was my oversight that caused this to you..."
Old Ryan had been his friend for many years, and he never thought over two hundred years of friendship would end like this, while he stood powerless.
As a frontline commander, he knew the details of that battle very well.
According to the original plan, there wouldn’t be any accident, with dozens of 8th-tier Great Magicians jointly casting temporary sealing spells on two 9th-tier demons.
On the 9th-tier battlefield, they could temporarily outnumber them, and with several Magic Masters specially arranged to counter the opponent’s demon capabilities, eventually building up a snowballing advantage.
But at the critical moment, a never-before-seen 9th-tier demon appeared, disrupting all plans.
If not for Old Ryan risking his life, they would have suffered heavy losses.
Yet even now, the situation didn’t turn out well, Old Ryan was wounded by that power, his body entering decline, even his magic power hard to operate, seemingly nearing the end.
And just now, the intelligence came from the report of Forest Elf healing.
Even the Forest Elves, skilled in healing, couldn’t do anything...
"Old Ryan, just rest in peace, I will definitely avenge you..."
Knock knock knock...
Torri frowned, what’s going on little brother, I’m mourning here, grieving for the fallen fox... seems a bit off, anyway, I’m in sorrow, why disturb now?
"Come in."
"Great Mage Torri, there’s a message from the Forest Elves."
"Forest Elves? Aren’t they stationed at the fortress? Why send a message?"
Torri took the letter with curiosity, skillfully opened the envelope, and the soldier delivering the message explained:
"It’s not from the fortress Forest Elves, it’s from the Elf Forest."
Even the soldier was puzzled why a letter was sent to Great Mage Torri when three Forest Elf prophets were already in the fortress.
But he didn’t act on his own and refuse or open the letter, that would be pure idiocy; a soldier’s duty is to complete the task.
Opening the letter, Torri scanned it, imprinting the text in his mind, suddenly becoming excited.
"Elf Master? The one they’ve been talking about lately? Didn’t expect it to be true!
If she’s the Elf Master, she must have even greater powers! Does this mean Old Ryan can be saved?!"
Even knowing the possibility is slim, what if!
After all, it doesn’t cost anything to try!
After a moment of silence, he suddenly lifted his head, delivering orders to the soldier.
......
The next day, on the outskirts of Torri Fortress
Bai Yi, with a group of Forest Elves disguised as her entourage, arrived at the fortress gates, gazing at the massive vortex not far away.
Even though the Forest Elves had shared countless memories of it, witnessing it with her own eyes filled Bai Yi with awe.
"Even having reached the Seventh Rank, possessing the power to alter a region, facing such forces of nature still makes one feel insignificant..."
Since sending the letter yesterday, she had already begun her journey, taking a route similar to that of the letter.
