460 Collaboration (1/2)
However, the benefits of completely destroying the Thawing Fire Tribe could hardly be put into words. He would be able to obtain the Dragon Crystal and also explore the secret of the Raising Dragon Array. Moreover, the Flame Demon Fort would no longer have to face the threat of the Raging Flame Beastmen, and its troops could be transferred to participate in other battles.
The most important part was the Ghost Valley falling into the hands of the Merlin Family. They would send a large number of young mages to the Ghost Valley, and their rate of growth would be extremely frightening. Thus, just the Ghost Valley would offer an unending supply of fresh blood to the Merlin Family.
The Ghost Valley was extremely attractive to any major force. If there was a way to obtain it, then those guys from the Ancestral Land would definitely not refuse, even if it was a bit risky.
Although the reward was generous, the biggest problem they had was, 'How can we eliminate the Thawing Fire Tribe?'
Clearly, it would be very difficult to take down a colossus like the Thawing Fire Tribe with the force currently occupying the Merlin Family's Flame Demon Fort. At this time, Lin Yun took out a map of the Raging Flame Plane upon which every major force was marked. This came from the Merlin Family Manor, and from the map, he quickly searched for the forts controlled by the Cloud Tower.
If he could gain the support of the Cloud Tower, with the power of the Merlin Family on top, then dealing with the Thawing Fire Tribe wouldn't be an issue. In fact, Lin Yun felt that by using his friendship with Star Sage Jouyi to offer a mutually beneficial collaboration, the Cloud Tower would definitely not decline.
But he then found out that seeking the Cloud Tower's help might not work. The few forts controlled by the Cloud Tower were extremely far from the Flame Demon Fort on the map. It would take over ten days to move their troops back and forth, and if their main force was away for too long, they would be giving an opportunity to the other Beastman Tribe.
It would definitely be difficult for the Cloud Tower to help...Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Lin Yun sighed before bitterly smiling. The Thawing Fire Tribe was definitely a huge problem. After considering it from all angles, he was unable to find a solution. But with a passing glance, he noticed the Dark Moon Fort controlled by the Black Tower.
Thorne had already given him an explanation of the major forces in the periphery of the Flame Demon Fort earlier. At the time, he had emphasized the Dark Moon Fort, saying that the Dark Moon Fort wasn't any smaller than the Flame Demon Fort and was one of the large-scale forts controlled by the Black Tower. It was located roughly over a hundred kilometers south of the Flame Demon Fort.
The Merlin Family had always considered the Thawing Fire Tribe and the Dark Moon Fort the most threatening forces in the surroundings and would rarely have contact with the Dark Moon Fort.
But now, Lin Yun felt that he could use the power of the Black Tower in the Dark Moon Fort to reach his objective.
That method seemed feasible.
According to Thorne's introduction, the Dark Moon Fort was one of the most important forts of the Black Tower in the Raging Flame Plane. The force stationed in the Dark Moon Fort was quite formidable and was even comparable to the Planar Legion within the Flame Demon Fort, perhaps slightly stronger.
But...
To be honest, Lin Yun didn't have a good opinion of the Black Tower. He had come into contact with a few people from the Black Tower, like Herman, Solan, and Weiss… And every time, he ended up coming into conflict with those people. There was also the aloof Chairman of the Black Tower, Harren. In the gathering of the Magic Hand, they ended up having a disagreement, and Harren used Archmage Kave to oppose Lin Yun joining the Magic Hand, before ending up having a delightful transaction.
Through that interaction, Lin Yun learnt that Harren was a person that valued benefits. If he chose to collaborate with the Black Tower to eradicate the Thawing Fire Tribe, the Black Tower might end up with a part of the Ghost Valley. Lin Yun could accept that outcome. After all, he cared more about the Chromatic Dragon Crystal and the Raising Dragon Array.
After putting the map away, Lin Yun fell asleep and eventually woke up past daybreak. He then immediately left the Flame Demon Fort to go to the Dark Moon Fort. Crossing a hundred kilometers wasn't much to a powerhouse like him. It only took him half an hour to reach the Dark Moon Fort.
”Worthy of the Black Tower…”
Following the lead of a mage of the Black Tower, he quickly entered the Dark Moon Fort and was led to a spacious and bright reception room. At that time, Lin Yun's Magic Array caught many powerful auras. This couldn't help but surprise Lin Yun, as he detected over ten people with power above the Archmage realm.
Moreover, this was only one of the numerous forts of the Black Tower in the Raging Flame Plane.
The Black Tower was one of Andlusa's two major mage forces, it truly had a deep foundation...
When Lin Yun first entered the reception room, he heard a cracking sound and then recognized an old acquaintance. He scratched his cheek as he smiled. ”Sir Weiss, I truly hadn't expected us to meet again so soon…”
”Haha, it turns out to be High Mage Merlin…”
Weiss wanted to show a neutral expression, but he really couldn't calm down. He had just heard a report saying that a member of the Merlin Family stationed at the Flame Demon Fort had come to pay a visit. In the past few years, the contact between the neighboring Flame Demon Fort and the Dark Moon Fort was extremely sparse. Hearing that a member of the Merlin Family had come over, Weiss realized that this might be an important matter, and thus, as an esteemed Representative, he had personally waited in the reception room to show some respect.
