Chapter 222: The snipe and the clam fight, strategic shift! (Please subscribe, please vote!)
In the small spiritual world in Grols's home,
Lu Feng checked the cultivation progress of his villagers.
Over the past few days, the number of villagers in the Small Spirit Realm who have been promoted to official Western Region Magicians has reached 34.
The spiritual realm that Lu Feng placed here was a small one. The 34 villagers sat cross-legged to practice, making the spiritual realm seem a little crowded.
The crowded space was beginning to affect the efficiency of the villagers' practice of absorbing the power of the astral realm.
As it concerns their cultivation progress, Lu Feng is also considering whether to change their base.
However, when Grols delivered today's Lorendan Kingdom newspaper to Lu Feng, Lu Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that since he had seen the actions of Dahe Temple, Dahe Temple, which had been silent for a long time in the Western Regions, finally made some moves.
The kingdom's newspapers reported a rebellion on the island of Katia.
According to official statements from the kingdom, a group of cultists who believed in an evil god bewitched the residents of Katia Island and launched a large-scale rebellion.
Currently, the kingdom's army on Katia Island is fighting fiercely with the cultists, and the Grand Mage Tower has also sent a number of mages to support the front line of Katia Island.
"It turns out that the space channel found by Dahe Temple is on Katia Island! They are all space channels in the Golden Sand Sea. The difference is not that big, but they teleported both of us to places thousands of miles apart." Lu Feng smiled as he looked at the newspaper.
The newspaper also described some of the cultists' symbols, their iconic shiny bald heads after removing their disguises, and the appearance of a race from the world of earthly immortals.
After reading these descriptions, most people would think that this group of cultists was a little strange.
But in Lu Feng's eyes, he could immediately tell that these cultists were monks from Dahe Temple.
Apparently, the rebellion on Katia Island was also started by Dahe Temple!
"It's not easy. I've been waiting for you for so long, and now you're finally starting to do things openly! It's just right. Taking advantage of the chaos you've caused, I can also start to make some things in Voris City."
After the uprising at Dahe Temple, Lu Feng collected information about the movements of the Grand Mage Tower in the city of Voris from various sources over the next few days.
Sure enough, the unrest caused by Dahe Temple's instigation of the people on Katia Island was no trivial matter.
There is no shortage of experts in Dahe Temple. After bewitching and gathering a group of ignorant people, they have their own power base on Katia Island.
The monks from Dahe Temple led the filling and soon formed a decent team.
Even with official wizards in charge, the kingdom's army on Katia Island would hardly be a match for the army of Dahe Temple.
A monk from Dahe Temple who has reached the spiritual realm can easily fight against a mid-level wizard. He may not be a match for a high-level wizard, but Dahe Temple also has the powerful Xinhai wizard who is not afraid of battles with extraordinary powers.
They were even more eager to fight with the mages on Katia Island. If a formal mage with successful training fell into their hands and was refined into their spiritual realm, it would be a good resource.
The Ohkawa Temple family is large and powerful, so naturally they have no shortage of spells that can make full use of the enemy's corpses.
The more they fight, the stronger Dahe Temple will become.
The group of "cultists" in Dahe Temple caused quite a stir. As the most powerful supernatural organization in the Kingdom of Lorendan, the Grand Mage Tower in Voris City naturally shouldered the responsibility of eliminating internal troubles and resisting foreign enemies.
"It would be best if Master Xinhai of Dahe Temple could attract Archmage Blanchard of Voris City over there. A fight between the two of them might be the best outcome!" Lu Feng was thinking while enjoying the fun.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Archmage Blanchard remained in the Mage Tower and had no intention of leaving for the time being.
"Today, Archmage Blanchard came to our inner courtyard and gave a speech, encouraging our inner courtyard mage apprentices to actively participate in the battle to eliminate the cultists on Katia Island." Grols brought back the latest news to Lu Feng.
"So are you planning to attend?"
"Of course not. Under your guidance, I have become a very outstanding mage apprentice in the class. As long as I follow the routine, in a few years, I will have the opportunity to meet the requirements for applying for the Enlightenment Potion. I have a bright future ahead of me, so why do I need to take risks on the battlefield?"
Grols had a clear understanding of himself. He did not get distracted by the great wizard's passionate speech and threw himself into the war between the kingdom and the cultists.
"You still have some brains! You should study hard! The right path is to become a formal mage as soon as possible, otherwise you will always be just cannon fodder!"
Lu Feng gave Grols a reminder and said no more.
In addition to encouraging the mage apprentices in the inner courtyard of White Oak University to participate in the war, the Grand Mage Tower also dispatched a number of official mages from the Mage Tower to Katia Island to participate in the battle.
If mage apprentices are just cannon fodder sent to the battlefield, then formal mages are the middle force on the battlefield.
The wizard's mind maze, combined with the kingdom's soldiers, can produce an effect of one plus one being greater than two on the battlefield.
The mages of the Western Regions are an extraordinary profession that originated from the battlefield.
In addition to being called mages, they are also called war mages.
An extraordinary profession born specifically for fighting on the battlefield.
Lu Feng didn't care about the battle that would happen on Katia Island. He didn't care if the Grand Wizard Tower and Dahe Temple fought to the death.
With the transfer of personnel in the Grand Mage Tower, Lu Feng clearly felt that the defense force in the city of Voris had become relaxed.
Seeing this, Lu Feng also began to plan. He asked Master Novi to lead the thirty-four villager mages out of the small spiritual realm and find a place to get their own territory to facilitate their development and growth, and plunder some resources by the way.
"My lord, I suggest that we should stay away from the city of Voorhees first. There is the Archmage Tower here. If we make too much noise, it will easily attract the attention of Archmage Blanchard, which will be very inconvenient in any case." After listening to Lu Feng's opinion, Mage Novi suggested.
Mage Novi has lived in Voorhis for many years and is very familiar with the various forces in Voorhis. Considering the strength of the Grand Mage Tower, he suggested that Lu Feng stay out of the spotlight for the time being.
Because Lu Feng is not very confident of defeating Archmage Blanchard now. If a conflict arises between the Archmage Tower and the Novi Mage during the process of the Novi Mage's development of power, it will be easy for something to go wrong.
Lu Feng thought about it and directly agreed to Master Novi's proposal.
Lu Feng has now obtained the secret of the Western Region Wizard.
His main mission in Voorhis City had basically been completed. There was really no need to continue fighting in Voorhis City. If he attracted the attention of the Archmage Blanchard, it would be more trouble than gain.
Lu Feng doesn't want to fight.
It's so painful to fight without the certainty of winning!
It was just the right time to transfer Novi and the others out and develop the situation while the Dahe Temple was causing chaos on Katia Island and the city of Voorhis was on low alert.
With Lu Feng's permission, Master Novi and Rosa seriously thought about their next move.
Now they have already been registered in the Grand Mage's Tower and can be regarded as wanted criminals in the Kingdom of Lorendan. It is inconvenient for them to do things anywhere with this identity.
However, Lu Feng thoughtfully provided them with several wizard secret treasures that could conceal their identities. After using them, as long as their strength was not much greater than theirs, their true appearance would definitely not be revealed.
With Lu Feng's support, both Master Novi and Rosa breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they have completely surrendered to Lu Feng, they do not want to become wanted criminals and be crushed like dead dogs by the Night Watch.
The two of them had limited strength. Although they had received some guidance from Lu Feng these days and had practiced some earthly magic to strengthen their physical fitness, they were still not able to act recklessly during the pursuit of the Night Watch.
"Sir, I have a good place to recommend!" After some discussion, Novi told Lu Feng his idea.
"My lord, Voris is the core city of the Reiner Province. With the Grand Mage in charge, the entire Reiner Province is very safe! However, as long as we leave the land of the Kingdom of Lorendan and enter the ocean, no one can control us! In addition to the vast land, there is also an endless ocean that we can plan and conquer. The most important point is that there is no Grand Mage in the ocean, so it is very safe."
"The ocean is not a good place. It is far away from the land and pirates are rampant in the ocean. Without the supervision and cleaning of mages, all kinds of monsters emerge in the ocean. The land is dangerous, and the ocean is not much different." Lu Feng hesitated, thinking of the ocean information he had collected.
"Sir, I have the confidence to say this! When I was working at the Grand Wizard Tower, I had some friendship with the pirate king near the coast of the Kingdom of Lorendan. In the past, I was a night watchman and only had a profit relationship with them. Now I am a wanted criminal, so I can just deal with them. If we can bring them under our command, we will have a leader on the ocean, right?"
Master Novi smiled and said maliciously.
According to him, this was not an attempt to deal with the Pirate King, but an attempt to swallow up the Pirate King's forces and create a springboard to enter the ocean!
What a sinister thought!
But I like it!
Master Novi’s plan and ideas were very good, and Lu Feng also asked about the Pirate King’s strength.
The pirate king near the coast of the Kingdom of Lorendan mentioned by Mage Novi is called Red Beard. He is probably a mid-level mage, and his Mind Labyrinth is a ghost pirate ship.
The Ghost Ship is a variation of the Ghost Castle. It abandons most of the attributes of astral monsters, chooses the appearance of a pirate ship, and enslaves some undead monsters and water monsters.
With the help of the pirate ship carefully built by Red Beard Pirate King, Red Beard Pirate King can exert the maximum power of his mind maze on the sea. Even when facing a high-level wizard, he has the ability to escape.
Lu Feng thought carefully about Novi's suggestion and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Lu Feng smiled slightly and agreed to Master Novi's proposal.
"No problem. Next, we just need to wait for a good opportunity. We will leave the city of Voris and go directly to find the pirate ship of Red Beard. Now we need to conquer a piece of territory here!"
"Yes! Sir!"
That night, when the night patrols in Voorhis City were a little lax, Lu Feng escaped from Voorhis City with the small spiritual realm.
The figure hidden in the darkness looked back at the tall tower standing in the city before leaving.
"Master, wait! It won't be long before I come back again! By then, it will be hard to say who will be stronger and who will be weaker among us!" Lu Feng muttered to himself.
Then, he rose up on the clouds and the wind, disappeared at the edge of Wallis City, and flew towards the east of Barbados Island.
The famous Red Beard Pirates were active in the waters off the east coast of Barbados all year round. Robbing passing merchant ships and collecting tolls was their daily routine.
The land breeze flew quickly, and before the night was over, it had reached the east coast of Barbados.
Lu Feng lifted Master Novi from the spiritual realm and placed him on the black cloud at his feet. He patted Master Novi on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Novi, we have arrived at the east coast of Barbados. Now it's time for you to take action and contact the Red Beard Pirates!"
As soon as he came out of the spiritual realm, Master Novi was confused.
But looking at the boundless dark sea under the moonlight, Master Novi's face was full of shock. The master was indeed powerful and his flying speed was too fast. In such a short time, he brought his people to the east coast of Barbados Island.
Lu Feng's actions constantly refreshed the psychological expectations of the Novi Mage.
Soon, Master Novi came to his senses, looked around carefully, and guided Lu Feng to fly south along the coast for a while, and then landed in a coastal city that Master Novi was familiar with.
"My lord, this city is called The Hague. It is one of the few good coastal cities in the Kingdom of Lorendan. The Red Beard Pirates have garrisons in this city. I will contact them. If things go well, we should be able to go out to sea and board Red Beard's pirate ship tomorrow morning."
Master Novi said affirmatively after entering The Hague.
Lu Feng entered the small spiritual realm and let Master Novi carry the spiritual realm to negotiate with the members of the Red Beard Pirates stationed in The Hague.
With Lu Feng's permission, Wizard Novi brought Rosa and two village wizards, and the four of them quickly completed the negotiations with the members of the Red Beard Pirates.
Just as he said, members of the Red Beard Pirates contacted Red Beard overnight and arranged for a fishing boat to go out to sea that night.
As soon as the dawn broke, Master Novi and his party, led by the members of the Red Beard Pirate Ship, went out to sea and headed towards the Red Beard Pirate Ship.
The fishing boat drifted on the sea for half a morning, but the Red Beard Pirates did not show up.
Just when Master Novi was getting a little bored while waiting on the fishing boat, fog suddenly appeared on the blue sea under the clear sky and bright sun, and the humid sea breeze had a hint of chill and the fishy smell of seafood.
“Here it comes!”
Seeing this strange scene, Master Novi's face remained calm and he muttered something in a low voice.
Beside him, Rosha and two village mages perked up after hearing this.
The fog on the sea surface gradually thickened, and the sky gradually became gloomy. The sun could no longer be seen, as if night had fallen.
Ding ding ding!
At this time, the sound of a ship bell came from the dark fog, and a black ship shadow of several dozen meters long slowly broke through the fog and appeared in front of Master Novi and his party.
"Novi, I didn't expect that you, a wizard from the Night's Watch, would actually join an evil organization like the Poseidon Cult. Hahaha. What do you want to do by coming to me, Red Beard, this time?"
