Chapter 363: Chapter 311: Faser’s Knight! The New Legion of the Great Wilderness
"Ready! Buck Homogeneous!"
White Light replied, "The supplies are ready, and both the knights and Rhinestone Horses are set."
"Good, Andor, how about your side?" Lin Ke looked towards Andor.
"Buck Homogeneous, but some mages are unwilling to accompany us..." Andor’s expression was slightly tense. "They said, either die in the city or continue living."
Lin Ke raised an eyebrow and looked towards Lady Yongge.
Although Andor was in charge on the surface, Lady Yongge, as the former leader of the Song of the Torrent sect, was instructed by Lin Ke to assist.
Before Lady Yongge could speak, Andor hurriedly said, "It’s not Lady Yongge’s fault. Lady Yongge has tried various means, but they refuse to comply, even..."
"Even what?" Lin Ke’s expression turned slightly cold.
"Even they’ve banded together, saying if they’re going to die, they want to be killed entirely..." Andor’s face also didn’t look good.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"Interesting..." Lin Ke, who initially looked stern, suddenly smiled. "Indeed, those with vested interests don’t want to let go..."
In the past, landlords were obliterated under the general trend, which eventually brought about a golden age, did it not?
However...
These mages still have their uses.
"Band together? Buck Homogeneous, I’ll secretly support a few of them, then back another group, letting them..." The sinister man’s eyes gleamed.
"Why not just kill, kill, kill!" The madwoman instantly turned into a bear, roaring beside, spitting all over Andor’s teacher.
Andor’s teacher smiled and wiped his face, saying, "I’ve heard of them and they of me. Perhaps I should try reasoning through emotion and logic."
"Follow Buck Homogeneous’s intention." White Light slightly nodded, indicating as he was more like John in temperament, rarely voicing his opinions, but being inclusive.
"You all have some merit in your arguments, but currently, the best is still brute force conquering all." Lin Ke chuckled.
No need for conspiracy, no need for beheadings, nor is it time to show goodwill.
Instead, through the form of enforced servitude, drive these mages to the battlefield.
As for then, whether they’ll be cannon fodder or calmly submit depends on their own decisions.
Everyone’s hearts were stirred, except the crazy woman whose eyes were alight, as she laughed widely, "Hahaha, alright, I’ll go! I’ll go!"
"You’re too weak." Lady Yongge glanced at the crazy woman, then said to Lin Ke, "Let me go. It’s my fault for not persuading them earlier."
"Okay, take more people with you." Lin Ke nodded. "If it doesn’t work, you can call me."
Though those mages aren’t Holy Domain level, there are a dozen or so of the ninth and tenth ranks.
Even though Lady Yongge has learned the true form of the Flame Demon, she may not be able to handle it.
Lady Yongge: "Alright."
Lin Ke surveyed the circle. "Then it’s set, Andor, move the Law Connector Stone to the hall, so staff can collect daily magical energy regularly henceforth."
"Next up is Beifeng Giant City!"
...
A few days later, as the weather cooled.
Notably among Blue Light Celestial City, three cities were stirred into significant upheaval.
Many sects that had monopolized certain industries for years declared their end, with some stubborn resistors inside, mainly those mages, all captured to become a part of the Magic Training Camp.
Magic Training Camp, Flame Demon Knight Order.
The Mortal · Wild Mage Organization, i.e., the two major armed forces under the Fan Ye Party banner, simultaneously advanced east!
The Magic Training Camp had around three thousand mages, counting the total from three cities.
The Flame Demon Knight Order had already expanded to ten thousand.
Including about ten thousand more for logistics, transportation, and similar roles, the armed forces from Blue Light Celestial City and the other two cities could reach over twenty thousand.
These two forces were newly established by Lin Ke for the Great Wilderness.
After all, the Great Wilderness is Great Wilderness, whereas Azanen is Azanen.
Having parted ways, he was urging Garoce to have another son; otherwise, Little Nuomi, his sister, and Antova’s eldest daughter, might inherit.
The Great Wilderness is a blank canvas where he can freely paint and modify the blueprint.
Hence, the not deeply rooted Great Wilderness City now had two armed forces.
These armed forces could become the Faser Legion under Great Wilderness City’s umbrella in the future!
Thinking of this, Lin Ke was filled with vigor.
He looked at the assembled troops, tugging on the Rhinestone Horse’s reins, turned around, and shouted, "All troops, advance!"
Instantly, the grand procession set off.
Behind Lin Ke were Andor and sixteen trusted aides, initially from the Flame Demon Sect and later joining were core members from Song of the Torrent.
Further back, were the mages from the Magic Training Camp.
The frail ones squeezed into carriages pulled by Rhinestone Horses, mostly from pampered sects and factions.
Those slightly stronger, like the sinister man and the madwoman-type wild mages, usually rode horses but could squeeze into the carriages too if they wanted.
And after the Magic Training Camp came the Flame Demon Knight Order.
The Knight Order had appeared in Faser’s history.
Initially, it was created by the Great Mages when they united their knights to protect them or oppose their enemies.
However, later, due to certain reasons, such as the overwhelming force of the unified Knight Order, it was disbanded.
Now, the Flame Demon Knight Order members were bright-eyed.
Because they were fighting as a formal army, not just as attendants serving tea and water!
Just then, inside one of the carriages.
"What do you all think... about this plan?"
An elderly man, white beard and hair, sat deep in the carriage, flanked by four mages on each side, filling the entire space.
"I think it’s good."
"I do too."
"Seconded."
The other eight mages agreed one by one, though appearing proud and solemn, their voices were deliberately lowered.
"We should give that arrogant ’savage’ a lesson."
"Indeed!"
"How dare they try to command us like hunting dogs, utterly senseless."
After agreeing, the mages gritted their teeth, complaining bitterly as if the ’savage’ they spoke of was an irredeemable villain.
"Daisa, I think this proposal is excellent, but the critical issue is who will initiate it?" To the right of the elder Daisa was a middle-aged mage in a purple robe.
This purple-robed mage and Daisa were the most powerful mages present, one eighth level, the other ninth.
Instantly, the carriage fell silent.
The nine mages exchanged glances, with encouragement tinged with fear, and awkwardness with some anticipation.
Eventually, in this awkward atmosphere, ended their "secret discussion" for the day.
