Chapter 1457: Teamwork

The plan was truly simple and elegant for Agalon. Their argument had been completely unnecessary, because there was a better solution.

Both Agalon and Alonzo were Saint Alchemists. They didn't need Lin Yun to explain in detail at all. Now that Lin Yun had pointed out the way for them, they already figured out what they should do next.

The two of them stopped fighting. They had been fighting for such a long time over something so silly. It was definitely a disgrace for two Saint Alchemists.

Alonzo declared that he would replace all the fortresses that had been built with new ones. He then opened a space gate and disappeared.

Agalon felt that he had been influenced by Alonzo's stupidity, and embarrassed himself in front of his disciple. He claimed that he was leaving to calculate where and how the fortress nodes should be built.

Lin Yun was greatly relieved after both of them ran off. The two were very strong, but they argued pretty much on everything just to beat each other...

Wandering across the Mesomiya Plain, Lin Yun found that everything here was rising. When he left earlier, the place hadn't been freed from the shadow of the plague yet.

Many mages had been scholars until they were summoned here. They had been devoted to academic studies, and had little combat experience. Their levels might be high, but they didn't have corresponding combat ability.

They had spent most of their time studying all kinds of theories and equations, and pursuing the truth of magic. They didn't know much about spells. They didn't have a lot of experience with fighting, either.

They hadn't been accustomed to the battlefield yet after they were summoned when the plague broke out. They were quite unlucky.

At this moment, none of the mages looked like scholars anymore. All of them were seasoned warriors who had seen a lot of blood and deaths. In battles, those mages could basically unleash their full combat prowess.

After taking a tour and examining the new looks of the mages, Lin Yun became confident of winning the upcoming war, which didn't just depend on the top experts.

Not just Agalon, even Lin Yun could sweep all undead creatures within hundreds of kilometers with a level-10 spell. The less powerful the spell was, the greater its coverage could be. There were many super spells that could cover a radius of hundreds of kilometers, but they would only be as powerful as the ocean of flames he released earlier. They could only block the common undead creatures.

If he were to fight another expert that was on his level in the ocean of flames or frost, they would be barely affected. The worst that they could expect was that their attacks might be slightly weakened.

It was possible for human experts to take action, but there were also top experts on undead creatures' side. If they joined the battle, then the war would be completely out of control.

The last thing that Noscent's troops hoped to see was the war going out of control...

It was best to let the top experts hold back, while the lesser mages fought the undead creatures and beat them back. In such a way, the loss would be the smallest, and the situation would be under control.

After Lin Yun took a tour, he didn't spot any of the legion mages. He asked around, and learned that the legion mages had always been fighting on the front line.

Fire mages were the best choice to fight undead creatures after light mages. In particular, the ocean of flames was still burning on the front line, providing the most favorable circumstances for the legion mages.

If they were losing, they would just enter the flames, and kill any undead creatures that dared to chase them. If no powerful undead creatures were around, they would reap the undead creatures not far away from the flames.

During this period of practice, and thanks to the special environment in the flames that was almost like the Fire Element Plane, the captain of the legion mages had successfully reached the Heaven Rank. The others were peak level-9 Archmages too, and might soon advance into the Heaven Rank.

Having cooperated for such a long time, the 50 legion mages were almost synchronized. The level difference between them was getting smaller. When any of them advanced, the others would advance too.

That was the benefit of working as a legion. The 50 mages had spent all the time together. Their auras had been communicating too. When any of them made a breakthrough, it would cause a chain reaction.

The 50 legion mages were definitely as strong as a level-4 Heaven Rank fire mage. Too many people had shown interest in them recently. Even the Lionheart Prince had come, and observed their battle for a while.

He didn't give up recruiting them until he learned that Lin Yun was the one who had trained them. However, his regret was obvious. If Lin Yun hadn't commanded them, the Lionheart Prince would've tried to recruit them.

The Lionheart Prince was too proud to do that, but many others tried to, but to no avail. Still, many forces began to pay attention to mages as a legion.

It was not just because of the mage legion's performance in the battle, but because those mages could definitely fight a level-4 Heaven Rank expert. That kind of advancement was shocking.

It was not easy to train a level-4 Heaven Rank mage, but for the top forces, it couldn't be easier to train a level-9 Archmage...

Lin Yun's legion only contained 50 members. However, anyone who wasn't blind could tell that the more mages there were in the legion, the more powerful it would be.

Even if the mages they trained didn't have teamwork as great as Lin Yun's fire mages, their legion should be just as powerful if they trained 500 mages, and put them in the legion.

Normally, nobody would've believed that 50 level-9 Archmages could fight a level-4 Heaven Rank mage. However, seeing was believing.

Under typical circumstances, even 500 level-9 Archmages would just be chickens waiting to be executed in front of a level-4 Heaven Rank mage. However, after seeing Lin Yun's mage legion, everybody was enlightened. For mages, the higher in level they were, the less the number of them mattered, unless there were as many of them as there were undead creatures in the Plane of the Undead.

However, it seemed that the number of mages did matter if they were trained appropriately. The key was to let them work as a team, and trigger a qualitative change.

While Lin Yun wandered on the front line, quite a few people came to ask him about the mage legion. However, Lin Yun was no longer a weakling that everybody disrespected. None of them was stupid enough to try to poach the mage legion. They simply asked Lin Yun how he trained them.

It was impossible for them to directly ask the legion mages. The 50 of them were essentially 50 human-shaped fire creatures. They were almost constantly shrouded in flames. Also, they seldom left the front line. It was impossible to find out anything from them.

Learning that the mage legion was on the front line, Lin Yun didn't bother to check up on them. It was the most suitable place for them to grow up.

The Gilded Rose's business had already spread to this location. It even had the biggest sales here. The potions that it sent to the battlefield were only sold for 50% their price in Noscent, so nobody could blame the Gilded Rose any longer.

Then, everything was back to normal. There should be a time of peace. The Hexagonal Array could be entrusted to someone else for now. After all, it was not the time to activate the Hexagonal Array just yet.

Lin Yun had other things that he had to take care of as soon as possible.

The soul of a god and the Bloody Lich were attached to the Chapter of Blood he obtained earlier. At this moment, the Chapter of Blood had been completely separated from the soul. The strange soul was imprisoned on an independent page. The Chapter of Blood had been completely fused into the Book of Death too.

The most important thing to do at this moment was to kill the strange soul. The Bloody Lich had surely already resurrected, but there was no reaction on the front line, which indicated that he wasn't there. Lin Yun had no idea what he was up to.

Lagulin, Barton, and the prince were all on the front line. Emir was there too. It was impossible for the Bloody Lich to keep a secret from them whatever he was doing.

The Bloody Lich wasn't on the front line, but Lin Yun didn't feel reassured. That guy had lived through two eras in Noscent. There was no telling what he would do.

It was a major problem how to take down the Bloody Lich's soul...

The Bloody Lich's soul and the god's soul were melted. To kill the Bloody Lich, he had to eliminate the god's soul first...

Considering the grudge between the god's soul and the Bloody Lich, the god's soul surely wanted to kill the Bloody Lich. The easiest solution was to release the god's soul. Then, he might possess the Bloody Lich through the Bloody Lich's soul, and swallow the Bloody Lich.

However, there was also the possibility that the Bloody Lich was all prepared for the god's soul to deliver itself to him.. Then, he might swallow the god's soul instead, and take the initiative.
