The lines and items listed by Tro directly made Master Xingchen pale.

The conditions proposed by the Novis Mage Association were more than cooperation than annexation. However, the conditions proposed by the Mage Association directly erased the Mage Association, which had hundreds of years of tradition, and made the Principality of Novis a mage country where the mage group suppressed local nobles.

Such conditions may be harsh, but most spellcasters of the Mage Association may still be acceptable. However, once such conditions are discussed by Pierbont, it will definitely detonate the entire aristocratic class dominated by the Northus royal family.

The Principality of Novis is not a mage kingdom like Braeland. Although Novis's mage group still has a relatively transcendent position and enjoys huge political preferential treatment, they rarely interfere in local affairs of the nobles.

Nowitz is completely different from the Mage Kingdom in this regard!

In Northwes, the mage group is more involved in the operation of the state system as an assistant, aide, academy, and a wise man. Unlike the mages, the mages are completely and meticulously controlling everything in the kingdom from inside to outside, from top to bottom. The local nobles are more like a group of servants, faithfully and pleasing to manage all territories of all sizes for the mages.

This is why the Three Kingdoms of Mages do not attach great importance to the construction of military construction mainly based on humans, but instead are keen on building various golem factories, puppet production rooms and construction studios in various places. Mages only like to rule mortals, but never trust mortals, so they have created a mage unit with revitalized construction as the main body.

As for the human army active in local territories, they are just guards who maintain superficial rule and cannot enter the main sequence of mage troops created by the mages themselves.

If the mage kingdom was moved to Novis and Katy Enni dared to guarantee the local nobles would definitely be blown up. Just imagine, which of these rulers of past countries could endure that they would become "lower people" in an instant, becoming a personal servant of the special group of mages, and endure the arrogance and arrogance of mages all day long?

Although the threat to the Principality of Novis over the past period of time has become increasingly greater and the signs that occur in various parts of Novis have become increasingly obvious, power is power, and once it is immersed in it, it will never be able to give up or abandon it.

The threat of the lich panics the Noves nobles.

A few days ago, in addition to the wizards' association, the aristocratic faction led by Grand Duke Novis was secretly connected to the church organization. Several great nobles who were important among local nobles frequently appeared in the Justice Church and the temple of the Morning Light Church. It is hard to say that they did not have the instructions of Grand Duke Novis.

If Nowes really can no longer retain his character, then the Mage Association will naturally tend to turn to the Mage Guild. After all, they are all in the lineage of mages. Although their status will be reduced a lot, the benefits of enjoying the resources of a country in the past will no longer exist, but they will not be excluded from the circle of mainstream society after all.

But the attitude of local nobles seems a bit wandering and ambiguous.

In order to counter the threat of the undead lich to Novis, whether it was introduced to the wizard guild or the church organization, the good days of the Novis nobles came to an end. No matter which side, they would no longer allow the Novis nobles to take care of themselves and continue to live a happy life of being closed to their own country.

However, whether to become the noble housekeeper and servant who is breathed into the group of monks or become the puppet masters who are invaded by the church, these two items are undoubtedly a difficult choice for the Novis nobles.

...

However, just when the mages and noble leaders of Novis couldn't sleep all night, Will Dafeng, who was appointed by the Magisters Guild, came to negotiate the terms of the transaction, but looked out from the railing.

He is located in the top floor secret room of the core magic tower in the middle of Thunder Fortress. From this small platform built at a height of 200 meters, you can vaguely see the fortress barriers 3 miles away.

Thunder Fortress is a grand war fortress built at a mountain pass break.

On both sides of the Thunder Fortress, there are towering stone walls flush with the fortress barriers, which are so steep that it is impossible for mortals to pass through. In order to prevent enemies from sneaking into the fortress from the stone walls on both sides, a series of small battle forts and sentry towers were built on the narrow path less than 100 meters wide and narrow on the stone wall. The figures on it were shaking, and soldiers were obviously guarding it.

The construction of internal facilities of Thunder Fortress is obviously planned according to concentric circles and divided into extremely obvious hierarchical defense.

As the safe area in the inner circle, it is no less than a bustling and noisy city. From the commercial area where ordinary people keep flowing, the aristocratic area, the military area, the blacksmith shop, to the alchemy room and the magic area that belongs to the mage group, the entire inner circle can be said to be the most dynamic area of ​​the Thunder Fortress.

There is a transition area between the inner and outer circles, with military camps and war castles everywhere, which have become a military controlled area that outsiders are not allowed to easily set foot on. Nearly 100,000 soldiers stationed in Thunder Fortress are stationed in this area all year round.

As for the most dangerous outer circle, there are towering city walls and strong defensive barriers, and the patrol and defense of 20,000 soldiers of the Principality day and night, it is not a super strong fortress that ordinary people can dream of conquering.

But who said that Leiming Fortress is not facing ordinary people at this moment, they are not even "people"!

Even though he was in the distant inner circle like Will Dafeng, the heavy corpse stinking and creepy howling were still vaguely audible. This also shows how urgent and critical the situation facing the fortress is at this moment.

Since he is now an outsider in Thunder Fortress, it is not convenient to fly directly to the fortress front to obtain first-hand information, so Will can only cast a spell to summon a "magic eye" to replace him.

Under Will's control, the light ball formed by the Magic Eye first touched the magic tower's defense mechanism before it flew out 10 meters.

This is the most vigilant magic tower in the core area of ​​Thunder Fortress. Reckless casting here is likely to attract interference from the mages on duty. Perhaps the mages on duty today have already received the advice from the upper class, and they are also particularly preferential to Will, an outsider. The magic eye only collided twice on the defensive magic array of the magic tower and then successfully projected it out.

The magic eye slowly moved in the high sky, directly taking in everything on the ground below, and all of this flowed into Will's mind at the same time.

Controlling the magic eye slowly drifted into the distance, and drifted to the forefront of the Thunder Fortress, which was 5 miles away.

...

The tall city walls stand majestic in front of you, and have been completely integrated with the steep peaks that stretch hundreds of miles away, and can no longer be carefully distinguished and outlined.

The city wall, which is ten feet (more than 30 meters) high and ten feet wide, is so magnificent that anyone standing at its feet will feel a small and insignificant feeling. There are countless black patterns on the city wall.

These black patterns are connected together and form countless mysterious magic arrays. Each magic array is standing, but they are closely connected with each other. The vast and surging magic energy makes the city walls integrated, making them look so indestructible!

Such a tall and steep city wall is climbing upwards with dense rain of arrows. Even if you guard the army, you can prepare wooden ladders, beat gongs and drums, it will be difficult for ordinary people to climb up to the city wall smoothly.

But now, all the majestic and steepness have become useless decorations in front of the fearless tide of corpses. The dense group of corpses has accumulated under the city wall, waving its black and dirty arms, and making unconscious howls in its mouth. However, the slightest popularity floating above the city wall has caused them to be restless. At the foot of the near-city wall, a pile of terrifying corpses that are more than twenty meters high have been piled up.

Although the city wall of Thunder Fortress is tall and steep, it is only more than 30 meters high. Under the impact of the undead corpse tide, the highest end of the pile of corpses is almost level with the city wall.

Whenever the most critical moment comes, continuous bowstrings will sound on the city walls, and dense crossbow arrows shot down, sank into the pile of terrifying corpses that are constantly wriggling and twisting.

To be honest, such dense crossbow arrow attacks may be useful for ordinary people. They can be used to deal with this group of mummies who have no human perception and only know how to climb upwards. They are of no use.

At this time, no matter how many crossbow arrows were, they could not compare to a burst fireball of the mage.

Any bursting fireball exploded in the middle of the dense pile of corpses, and huge fire balls and strong air waves would burst out, enough to overturn this unqualified ladder. In an instant, the mummy climbed onto the city wall fell down like dumplings. The scene was so spectacular that every time it could trigger the union of the defenders above the city wall.

And at this time, countless illusory and hazy bodies suddenly floated out of the pile of corpses under the city wall. These spirits that were ambushing in the pile of corpses early followed the direction where the mage fired a burst fireball just now, and rushed to the top of the city, launching a terrifying attack on the defenders there.

So the next moment, the fully armed fortress defenders fought with the ghostly souls.

The harsh screams that are shattering are the signature skills of the spirits. The continuous screams of the spirits will form terrible mental oppression, causing the fortress defenders to face the battlefield of morale collapse and loss of confidence. If it weren't for the tenacious person who was facing the terrible ghost flying all over the sky, he would probably be a deserter at the first moment.

These ghost resentful souls also make full use of their talented instincts that can be transformed into reality and can emerge from any angle or position to attack human warriors. Faced with these terrifying spirits that appear at will, even if they are backing on the stone wall, it is not a safe enough measure to suddenly emerge from the underground or the wall, and then use their fingers and claws that ignore the armor and armor to leave terrifying wounds on the body of the human warriors.
