Chapter 408 Secondary Plane
Complaints are complaints.
Three assembly calls have been sounded, and Gaode has also entered the city.
If nothing else, just his identity as the Sea Sentinel Mage made him destined to be unable to stay out of the matter.
Otherwise, not to mention the accountability afterwards, I will definitely not be able to survive in the Sea Sentinels from now on.
Sea Sentinels are all elite mages, and a deserter will be looked down upon.
"Let's go there together." The guarding mage said seriously.
"Okay, let's go together." Gothe nodded.
Auckland City's Town Square is located in the center of Auckland City and can be reached directly through the Taiwa River.
The guard mage pulled Gothe onto a patrol boat specially designed for inland rivers.
This is a typical rowing sailboat. The hull is relatively long and narrow, and it can travel flexibly even in the narrower channels of the Taiwa River. The main power sources are sails and oars.
The bow and stern of the ship are relatively pointed, and the speed of traveling on the inland river is faster than that of Gaode's ship.
The assembly call was sent from the clock tower located in the center of the Municipal Square.
By the time Gothe and the guard mage arrived, the huge municipal square was already overcrowded.
At a glance, the number of people must exceed 10,000.
This is the foundation of the Plantagenet Dynasty. The number of official mages in a city can reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
However, although it was not possible to clearly see the mage level of each person, Gothe opened the Mandora Magic Eye and scanned it. Through the slight flow of energy, it was basically certain that more than two-thirds of so many people were first-level mage.
The rain is still falling, and the bluestone slabs in the square are full of water, but there is no debris. It has obviously been cleaned up.
At the very front of the Municipal Square is the Auckland City Hall.
The white brick and stone city hall shone coldly in the gloomy clouds, and the gorse emblem on the top shone brightly, which was made of pure gold.
even though it was attacked by catfish, the city hall was safe without any signs of damage.
In front of the door of the city hall, Count Roland, wearing a rainproof black cloak trimmed with silver, stood on the steps.
The people standing behind him were all the famous nobles and mages in Auckland City.
Gothe and the guard mages were the last ones to arrive.
After all, they came from the farthest gate from the center of the city.
So within about two minutes of their arrival, Count Roland spoke.
"They should all be here."
"Please ask the second-level mages and above to stand at the front." With the help of the power of the spell, Count Roland's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every mage present.
Hence, a few mages among the crowd began to stand forward and gathered in the front row.
Gothe and the guarding mage both stayed put.
However, he did notice that among the mages pushing forward from the crowd, there was actually a mage who was also wearing the uniform of a sea sentry.
Of course, the other party is wearing a warrant officer uniform.
"I'm glad to see that everyone responded to the mages' assembly call and came to assemble in such a short period of time."
Count Roland's eyes swept from the second-level and above-level mages in the front row, to the first-level mages with the largest number of people standing in the back, and spoke slowly in a very calm and heavy tone.
"It's just that I want to tell you some bad news."
He paused, as if giving everyone time to do some mental building up.
After a pause of about three seconds, Count Roland continued: "The appearance and expansion of the catfish are too abnormal, and the three consecutive small cyclones that followed are unprecedented. Therefore, I asked our chief mage in Auckland, Master Theodore, to go to sea. Survey the situation. "
After saying this, he turned slightly, and a silver-haired old man stepped forward. He was wearing dark purple robes, with a hooked nose, and holding an obsidian staff in his right hand. He looked very extraordinary.
He is Theodore, the Chief Mage of Auckland.
In a city of Auckland's level, the chief mage must at least start as a senior fourth-ring mage.
"I was ordered by the count to go out to sea to investigate the situation and came to the place where the catfish whirlwind started."
“There, I saw an expanding space crack.” Master Theodore paused after saying this. The raindrops dripping from the corners of the city hall fell, but before they touched his body, they were blocked by a transparent membrane.
"The other end of the space crack is connected to an alien plane full of wind elements."
"There are strong wind elements and strong winds, pouring out of this space crack."
"In other words, the appearance of the catfish this time is not a natural celestial phenomenon, but entirely due to this space crack. It is an alien disaster."
The municipal square fell into dead silence for an instant, with only the sound of rain hitting various clothes and even magical instruments.
After reporting the situation, Master Theodore quietly retreated, leaving the "stage" to Count Roland.
"Everyone should be very aware of the dangers of disasters in other planes. Just like the emergence of earth veins, a prosperous city will often be overthrown." The space rift is temporarily called the wind channel. "
"The bad news is that this wind channel is only 180 kilometers away from our city of Auckland."
When it comes to one hundred and eighty kilometers, Count Roland's face became very solemn, with a hint of sigh in his tone.
"One hundred and eighty kilometers!"
"Oh my God"
As his words fell, the faces of many mages in the municipal square changed, and they couldn't help but make a sound and started to discuss.
Without it, the distance is too close.
"The distance of one hundred and eighty kilometers, plus this is still a wind element alien plane, once this wind network is completely stabilized...
If nothing else, catfish-level cyclones will become a common occurrence for our city of Auckland in the future, maybe once or twice a month. "
Hearing this, Gaode also knew the seriousness of the matter.
If catfish come once or twice a month, Auckland will become a ruined city in less than a year.
However, the term "air element alien plane" still made him have some doubts.
He had only heard of the Earth Line Plane before. Of course, since there is an Earth Line Plane, there must be other alien planes, which is reasonable.
However, this is indeed the first time Gothe has heard of an alien plane other than the ley line plane.
It seems that the level of the Leyline Plane is relatively high, so it has many intersections with the Mage Plane, and the Leyline Plane is all over the world?
He had a guess in his mind.
And what Count Roland said next also verified his conjecture.
"The good news is that this is just a secondary plane made of pure elemental energy, rather than a stable material plane like the earth line plane."
"The size of the secondary plane is limited, and the energy is measurable. As long as the elemental creatures in the secondary plane can be dispersed in the early stages of the expansion of the wind network and before it is finalized, the energy of the secondary plane can be extremely consumed. "
“Once the secondary plane falls into a situation of insufficient energy, the powerful self-healing ability of our mage plane as the main plane will automatically repair the unformed space cracks in the space, thereby allowing this wind channel to dissipate.”
"This time I am calling for a mage rally to summon everyone, so that everyone can go out to sea to destroy the elemental creatures in this secondary plane."
"Mage Theodore has preliminarily confirmed that based on the energy concentration of this secondary plane, the strongest elemental creature among them That is the fifth level, mainly the first to third level elemental creatures. "
"Once the fifth level elemental creatures appear, we will deal with them. You don't need to worry about it. You only need to help destroy these first to third level elemental creatures."
One to three level elemental creatures.
As soon as the mages heard that it was this level and this mission, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and everyone felt relieved.
Since they appeared here, whether they were really intentional or forced by the powerful order of the Mage Assembly, as Auckland mages, they definitely do not want Auckland City to be destroyed by the wind, and they have more or less thoughts about protecting Auckland City.
But if the task is too difficult, this thought will soon be driven away by fear and timidity.
Level 5 elemental creatures, no matter how many there are, they are useless.
The higher the level, the greater the gap. This is an eternal truth.
The knowledge that an incredible primary school student may have is no less than that of some junior high school students, but a doctorate is definitely far better than a graduate student.
However, this mission is still extremely dangerous.
After all, once a fight breaks out, it is still at sea. The situation is chaotic and there are no rules.
It is very possible for a third-level elemental creature to find a first-level mage. Although your own mage will definitely rush to help as soon as possible, the risk is always extremely high.
It's just that under the general situation, even if you are afraid, you cannot avoid fighting.
"It only takes a few days from the appearance of a space crack to its finalization."
"So, there is not much time left for us."
"The ship to go to sea is ready. Let's all act together now and go to the sea to where Fengluo is!" After briefly introducing the situation, Count Roland issued the final order.
The specific arrangements have already been made by Count Roland and Master Theodore.
They, the mages summoned by the assembly call, mainly act as "NPCs" and chess pieces, just waiting for arrangements.
Gaode had a clear conscience and acted according to their arrangements very honestly.
In the final analysis, I am a first-level mage. In a "big plot" of this level, being able to be used as a chess piece on the chessboard is already a big deal. Why do you still want to have your own will?
Unless he is the protagonist
To be honest, Gothe does not like to participate in wars, especially as a soldier.
The danger is second, and more importantly, in war, unless you are a head-level mage like Master Theodore, your personal power is too small.
Let alone a first-level mage, even if he is now a third-level mage, he is probably an insignificant role in this "big plot" of Feng Luo.
In such a war, having one more self makes no difference, and having one less self makes no difference. Victory will not be because of him, and failure will not be because of him.
Whether it is victory or defeat, he may die in the war.
This feeling is not good.
But since he had no choice, Gothe quickly put aside his rejection and devoted his mind to the upcoming war.
Following the order, a group of mages headed by Count Roland and Master Theodore rushed from the Municipal Square towards the Auckland Pier like a tide.
On the pier, dozens of warships lined up in a row.
These are official warships. They use solid oak and teak as the main materials. The hull structure is huge and glows with an oily luster in the heavy rain.
All warships are multi-deck designs, and the largest ones even have three decks.
Dozens of flags embroidered with gorse emblems fluttered in the wind.
As warships, they are different from ordinary passenger ships and trucks. In addition to dozens of sails, their power systems are also equipped with corresponding alchemy machines to provide additional magic power.
In addition, there are turrets on both sides of the hull, loaded with alchemy magic cannons, distributed on the decks of each layer, which can provide additional fire support.
The leading warship, the "Crown of Thorns", is made entirely of metal and is equipped with a classic weapon that is usually only set up in the city. Gothe's classic weapon that was often seen in Western fantasy novels: the magic crystal cannon.
Compared with artillery, the barrel of the magic crystal cannon is made of a whitish mithril, and the surface is engraved with runes.
These runes are winding on the metal surface like living creatures. The length of the barrel is more than six meters, and the wall of the barrel is thick.
The tail part of the cannon is the core of the magic crystal cannon. It adopts a design that combines a rune array and an alchemy machine. In the center is a huge diamond-shaped magic crystal slot for placing energy sources.
Under the command and coordination of the official mages, the summoned unofficial mages were divided in an orderly manner and landed on different warships one after another.
And here, Gothe and the guarding mage who led him all the way separated.
Because the official mage who was responsible for guiding the ship, after seeing Gothe's sea sentry uniform and confirming his identity, arranged for him to go to another obviously higher-grade warship, and whispered to him: "This is a special warship for noble mage."
Gaode suddenly understood.
This is considered special treatment.
Under the Mage Assembly, any mage must respond to the call to go to sea, and noble mages are no exception. In this regard, they have no privileges.
But when arranging warships, it is possible to arrange for them warships with more complete equipment and stronger protective performance, thereby increasing the survival rate.
In any circle, there are some unique rules that are not written on paper, but that everyone acquiesces to and abides by.
But at this point, at least the Plantagenet Dynasty is considered good.
Because in the tradition of the Plantagenet dynasty, nobles should take the lead in war.
Putting it to the Principality of Xi'an where Gothe stayed before, the situation is likely to be that the noble mages stay in the rear and take command, while they work hard on the front line.
Time is urgent, and the mages move very quickly, running like ants on the deck.
Soon, the blue flag was raised on the Crown of Thorns.
This is the departure signal flag.
Following this, other warships blew their whistles three times in a row, and the sound of the whistles one after another caused ripples in the rain.
They show that they are ready and ready to go.
The next moment, the Crown of Thorns took the lead and sailed away from the port.
Gothe looked at the huge figure of the Crown of Thorns breaking through the rain curtain, and he felt certain in his heart.
The Plantagenet Dynasty can become the oldest human dynasty in this plane. There are many reasons, and the tradition that nobles must take the lead is one of them.
The rest of the warships are like a well-trained formation of wild geese, fanning out with the Crown of Thorns as an arrow.
From a high-altitude perspective, the fleet is like a sharp blade thrust into the rain curtain.
The gorse on the canvas is looming in the wind and rain.
