476 Defensive Power (1/2)

Thorne was seriously worrying within the meeting room of the Flame Demon Fort. He had received a report the previous day and learnt a shocking news, the reinforcements dispatched by the Thawing Fire Tribe had been annihilated overnight, not even one escaped.

Thorne was startled speechless when he heard that news. The information showed that the reinforcement were extremely powerful, made of several thousand Beastmen and countless powerhouses. These reinforcements could even pose a threat to the Flame Demon Fort.

Yet, such a tyrannical Beastmen army was annihilated overnight, this was unimaginable.

Thorne thought about it, he couldn't figure out which force had such frightening power that they could eliminate that Beastmen army, but he quickly associated it to the young mage leading an army into the Ghost Valley.

'Could it be related to him?'

'This is impossible…'

Thorne instantly denied this conjecture, the young mage's force only had about six hundred mages, and most of them were Great Mages. Although there was a few dozen powerful High Mages, the power of that Beastmen army could only be described as frightening, they definitely weren't their match.

'Then which force did it?'

But as Thorne was puzzled about it, a new report came through. After reading it, Thorne was no longer surprised, just completely shocked, as well as in disbelief.

The Caster Legion led by Mafa Merlin and the Black Tower collaborated and, within a few days, thoroughly controlled the Ghost Valley. The most important part was that they jointly eliminated the Beastmen army.

'Is this true or fake?'

Thorne didn't dare to believe this...

The Black Tower had always been doing everything the way of the mightiest, how could they choose to cooperate with puny Mafa Merlin? This was simply illogical. After all, the Black Tower was one of the two top mage forces of the Andlusa Kingdom, their formidable strength was hard to describe, their foundation dated a thousand years and they were more formidable than the Merlin Family. Thorne truly couldn't understand why the Black Tower decided to cooperate with the Merlin Family.

Although Mafa Merlin was one of the Commanders of the Merlin Family, he was actually controlling a very small portion of the Planar Legion. How could the Black Tower consent to collaborate with Mafa Merlin under such conditions.

There was definitely something hidden behind this...

Although Thorne felt that this matter was very strange, he also understood that Mafa Merlin had definitely done a great deed. Collaborating with the Black Tower to handle the Thawing Fire Tribe would definitely lower the risks and the losses. If everything went smoothly, the Merlin Family would inevitably have control over a portion of the Ghost Valley and would be able to dispatch youths there every year.

The benefits it would bring to the Merlin Family would be outstanding.

After realizing this, Thorne no longer hesitated and immediately issued an order to transfer most of the troops from the Flame Demon Fort and led the imposing army to the Ghost Valley. It was night when the Planar Legion reached the mage army's camp.

Following Thorne's arrival, the few domineering forces converged together.

Lin Yun wasn't surprised by Thorne's arrival, he felt that it was to be expected.

It was the Ghost Valley after all...

In the past few days, Lin Yun had been extremely busy. The two forces had cleaned the Ghost Valley once and were now in complete control of the entire Ghost Valley. Moreover, they had sent a large amount of powerhouses to make various arrangements in the valley. According to his agreement with Weiss, the two forces would head to the Sacred Mountain in five days to eliminate the Thawing Fire Tribe.

To be honest, Lin Yun had no interest in wiping out the Thawing Fire Tribe, his true goal in cooperating with the Black Tower was to control the Ghost Valley so he could unearth the Raising Dragon Array, and he had already practically succeeded. As long as he had the opportunity, he would unearth the Raising Dragon Array and accomplish his goal.

Unfortunately, he still had to respect the agreement, otherwise his relationship with the Black Tower would instantly sour.
