Volume 6 Chapter 46 Deciding factor of war

After talking to Arch Magus Camilla, Xu Yi had to admit that with the current power of the military magic machines the Frestech Chamber of Commerce produced, it was impossible to kill Arch Magi in a head on fight.

But Arch Magus Camilla also admitted that these military magic machines posed a bit of a threat to him, so as long as the right methods were used, they could stall an Arch Magus for a certain amount of time and could even push back the other side.

The key to this was that as long as there were enough ammunition, they could keep attacking.

No matter how strong an Arch Magus was, he had a limited amount of magic.

If pressure was continuously put on the Arch Magus, the Arch Magus would retreat because he would run out of magic.

But the problem is…..how to pressure an Arch Magus?

Compared to the current military magic machines, Arch Magi used powerful spells and the most important thing was that they were flexible.

Without having prepared first, an Arch Magus could easily release a powerful spell in a short period of time, but it was hard for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards with the military magic machines to release enough power to suppress an Arch Magus.

If there was an engagement, it was very likely the Arch Magus could take out an entire group of Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards before retreating without any injuries. Then they could find another chance to attack and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards wouldn’t be able to do anything.

“I already told you not to think about facing Arch Magi. If you’re really worried about the Arch Magi in the Candra Empire, think of how to defend against their attacks first. As long as you can defend, the role the Arch Magi plays is very limited. In the end, there are too few magicians that they cannot replace armies.” Arch Magus Camilla gave a suggestion in the end.

“Un…..that is right. But…..I don’t like being too passive.” Xu Yi spread his hands as he said this.

Arch Magus Camilla rolled his eyes, “You want to take the initiative against an Arch Magus? Do you think you are a Great Magus?”

Xu Yi gave a helpless bitter laugh, “Alright, I really was thinking too much. But the current Rudson Kingdom can give me actual combat experience, so it saves me quite a bit of effort.”

Arch Magus Camilla was surprised, “I thought that you really wanted to help the Rudson Kingdom, I never thought that you wanted to use them as an experiment.”

“I can’t be said like that.” Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, “The Rudson Kingdom is a barrier between the Stantine Duchy and the Candra Empire, being able to keep it is beneficial to our company.”

“Then why didn’t you use this reason to convince those fellows at the company? Why did you let those people secretly think if there was conflict in the company, doubting that you as the chairman was losing control of it?” Arch Magus Camilla couldn’t help asking.

“Because I’ve found a problem. Other than me, there’s no one who believes that the Candra Empire can be defeated.”

“Nonsense, that is the Candra Empire. Why do you think a small country like the Rudson Kingdom can beat them?” Arch Magus Camilla rolled his eyes.

“So I am too lazy to convince them with words, I want to use the Rudson Kingdom to prove this. Grandfather, what do you think?”

Arch Magus Camilla thought about it before saying with a nod, “I thought the same as them before, but after training with the guards a few times, I think that…..the Rudson Kingdom has a chance to win.”

“Is that so?” Xu Yi revealed a smile before his expression suddenly changed, revealing a depressed look, “But the problem are the Arch Magi. The Rudson Kingdom have several Great Magicians, but if the Candra Empire sends out an Arch Magus, I think that it’ll be hard for them to resist.”

Arch Magus Camilla instead revealed a smile and patted Xu Yi’s shoulder as he comforted him, “Relax, at least in the early periods, the Candra Empire won’t sent out an Arch Magus.”

“Oh?”

Great Magicians and Arch Magi aren’t allowed to participate in wars invading other countries, or they will be removed from the Magicians Guild. That is one of the principles the Magicians Guild was established on.” Arch Magus Camilla explained.

“There’s this rule? That’s great!” Xu Yi’s eyes lit up and he clenched his fist, “If it’s like this, I’m fully confident that the Rudson Kingdom can win the war!”

Arch Magus Camilla gave a sigh with a bit of a complicated look on his face.

Before this kid Xu Yi made these military magic machines, everyone on the continent firmly believed that the main deciding factor of war was always which side had the stronger magicians.

But with these military magic machines, Arch Magus Camilla was certain that what decided a war would be which side had the stronger military magic machines.

The role that magicians would play in wars would become weaker compared to before.

Like this, it will greatly impact the positions of magicians on the continent.

To be more pessimistic, the magicians might lose their aloof status that they’ve enjoyed for the past several thousand years.

As a traditional magician, Arch Magus Camilla felt a bit disappointed by this loss of influence.
