472 A Few Dozen (1/2)

”Turns out to be Sir Thorne, I didn't know you came all the way over here, is there something you need…?” Lin Yun suddenly squinted, he could see that Thorne was acting a bit weird.

”Haha, it's nothing, I just came to take a look…” Thorne laughed, his eyes sweeping all over the place, using this attitude to face the young mage made him very uncomfortable. After a few minutes, he turned back towards Lin Yun and said with a dull tone, ”High Mage Merlin, I remember you had five hundred Great Mages and ten High Mages, how come there are suddenly fifty more High Mages, what's going on?”

Although Thorne looked very calm, his heart wasn't calm at all. He was staring at the young mage, trying to get something out of his expression. But to his disappointment, the young mage was extremely calm and didn't panic.

'Could it be that those fifty High Mages aren't from the Black Tower?'

'How could this be…'

'Then where are those High Mages coming from?'

Thorne didn't believe that the young mage could perform such a magic trick.

In any case, he had to figure out the origin of those High Mages!

”Haha, nothing to be baffled about, a batch of Great Mages recently broke through and thus there are fifty new High Mages…” Lin Yun scratched his cheek as he said with a smile. He then cast a scrutinizing look at Thorne, 'These High Mages had barely appeared two hours ago and he already appeared, he should have come here to figure out where they came from.'

Lin Yun hadn't lied, those fifty High Mages had just broken through.

”High Mage Mafa, don't make fun of me, even if it was advancement, so many people advancing to High Mage within two months is a bit incomprehensible…” Thorne smiled insincerely, inwardly cursing, 'Even if you are giving me a half-hearted answer, at least give me a decent one, even a fool wouldn't believe this…'

”I'm not making fun of you…” Lin Yun scratched his cheek once again as he forced a smile. He then remained silent, he wasn't planning on explaining, this concerned the Demiplane as well as some outrageous things. Even if he told Thorne, the other side might not necessarily believe him.

”Good…” An angry look appeared on Thorne's face, he sneered at Lin Yun, no longer keeping up appearances, ”I see that you don't dare to speak, is there some hidden secret…? Does it have something to do with the Black Tower?”

After probing, Thorne was able to ascertain that the identities of those High Mages of unknown origins couldn't be exposed, otherwise the young mage wouldn't cover it up like this.

It might be related to the Black Tower.

Whether in the open or hidden, he would search for clues and report to the Ancestral Land.

After all, it wasn't a trivial matter if the young mage was really colluding with the Black Tower, it would inevitably harm the interests of the Merlin Family.

”Haha…” Lin Yun rolled his eyes.

”High Mage Mafa, what do you mean by this? You don't dare to answer my question? Tell us the origin of those High Mages, use facts to prove that you aren't colluding with the Black Tower and betraying the Merlin Family!” Thorne had a strict gaze as he stared at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun didn't even feel like rolling his eyes this time.

Insults and contradictions weren't the most hurtful, disregard was. A vein twitched on Thorne's forehead as his anger reached an extreme. But just as he was about to flare out, a silhouette rushed in.

”High Mage Mafa, that Beastman army stationed near the Ghost Valley is launching an offensive on our camp…” The newcomer was Yuri, he was anxiously looking at Lin Yun as he made his report. After finishing his report, he noticed Thorne on the side, and an embarrassed expression flashed across his face before quickly disappearing.

”Alright, I got it…” Lin Yun smiled and waved his hand, not thinking much of it. In fact, he had already sensed the approaching army through his Magic Array.

He then led the group out of the living quarters and prepared to lead his troops to meet the Beastmen army.

Following his command, the mages within the camp all rushed out of their tents and gathered together shortly.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield was the young Raging Flame Beastman with flickering red runes, Yass. After ordering the attack, robust Raging Flame Beastmen riding Ashen Wolves brandished their long swords as they rushed over from different parts of the jungle, charging towards the camp.

Near a thousand Raging Flame Beastman Wolf-Riders rushed out of the jungle with imposing momentum, flooding the whole camp in an instant.

The young Raging Flame Beastman, Yass, was leading the assault. In his eyes, this battle was already won and these humans would all be exterminated.
