Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 267 Salted Pig's Hands

Dongfang Lie was also smiling with satisfaction. He was very happy to see Mo Fan about to suffer a setback.

In the past, everyone stood together individually, but now, driven by the rules, everyone has inexplicably come together. Of course, this is just a temporary product of the pressure of the rules.

These guys have plenty of time to wear him down slowly.

Nan Jue and Jiang Shaoxu frowned. It was the same old story. They started arguing over the slightest disagreement. They hadn't even fought the demons yet, and things were already in chaos.

Let's put this topic aside for now!

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ai Jiangtu had no choice but to speak up, otherwise he didn't know if the powder keg would explode.

"We didn't have many options. Our mentor's requirement for us was to cooperate with the local military mages."

"In large-scale magical legion battles, it's impossible for us to temporarily join the ranks; that would disrupt the battle's rhythm."

"Either we join other National Government teams to form a vanguard assault, or we clear out the undead on the flanks. Afterwards, I will represent the National Government teams to go to the camp to negotiate with all parties."

"The final plan will be decided after further discussion."

"We've traveled for so long, everyone should go and rest first," Ai Jiangtu said, waving his hand.

Everyone got up and left, both sides wanting to avoid seeing each other altogether. Some went out to eat, while others went back to their rooms.

Wang Teng was pulled out of the hotel by Jiang Shaoxu, along with Nan Jue. The three of them searched for a restaurant on the street.

"Wang Teng, you didn't say a word at the meeting. Don't you have any opinions?" Nan Jue looked at him with curiosity.

"Hehe~ What's the use of my opinion? Group activities always involve a rush, and besides, this is an away game." Wang Teng didn't seem to care.

"Oh~ Tell me about it, I'd love to hear your insights." Nan Jue immediately became interested, as past experience showed that this guy could always get to the heart of the matter.

"You can say it, but actually, if I were the battlefield commander of Pushini, I wouldn't go out of the city gates to fight the undead demons."

"The undead demons have a lot of resources, whether it's undead crystals or undead essences, they are all rare resources."

"Even Egyptian undead possess rare items like shadow matter."

"In terms of danger, as long as there are two super-level mages in the city taking turns guarding it, the city of Pushini will never be able to be destroyed, even if there is only one small pyramid phantom."

"By building fortifications on the city walls and then relying on strong logistics, we can wipe out the undead horde. This will instantly increase the fiscal revenue of this seemingly not-so-wealthy city by eight to ten years."

"The battle between humans and demons is ultimately a struggle for living space and various resources. Under limited conditions, acquiring more resources is the only way to cultivate more mages."

"Without resources, what good would it do to topple the entire pyramid? Without development prospects, who would come here? Even a dog would shake its head."

"The world's major naval battlefields are typical examples; where resources are available, wild mages will naturally flock there."

"Egypt is rich in undead resources and is a dry desert region, making it a perfect battlefield for fire mages."

"If a city of the dead were to be established, the nearby Dubai Tower Mage Corps, as well as the major magical forces in Europe, would definitely be drawn to it."

Egypt, with its resources of the undead, is located at the crossroads of Europe and Africa, giving it a very advantageous geographical position, and is also surrounded by extremely powerful magical forces.

However, Egyptian magic doesn't operate in this way. It's also worth mentioning that necromancers are very popular there, and they greatly enjoy controlling the undead in battle.

"It does seem feasible!" Jiang Shaoxu thought to himself. This operation was highly feasible, and there were too many magical forces nearby, so there was no fear of a lack of personnel support.

"Isn't what you're talking about similar to the ancient capitals in China? Before the cataclysm, the ancient capitals attracted mages from all over the country, and they were among the top magic cities in the inland."

Upon comparison, Nan Jue realized that Egypt truly possessed this natural advantage, but she soon discovered the key issue.

"One crucial element is still missing: the city's security barrier built around the Core of the Earth!"

"But...it seems that foreign countries aren't keen on using such magical treasures to build cities."

Nan Jue shook her head again. She had figured out why Egypt couldn't be like the ancient capital: it lacked the strategic vision of the commanders in the country.

Furthermore, there are probably no forbidden spellcasters here, nor magical treasures like the Earth Core. Even if there were, they would likely have been looted by the major magical powers of Europe as soon as they appeared.

In this world, national borders are almost a joke in the face of demons; they can only confirm the general area and guard a few landmark cities.

The more she delved into this topic, the more she discovered the intricate web of relationships involved, escalating directly to the level of power struggles at the national or higher levels of various magical forces.

Egypt is very likely a training ground tacitly established by the major European powers. When there is great danger, they can run away; when there is less danger, they can send some people to provide humanitarian assistance and, incidentally, train novice mages.

It can even indirectly develop faith...

As someone with considerable knowledge, Nan Jue seemed to see the dark clouds hanging over the non-European continent. The only two world-class magical powers, the Holy City and the Parthenon, both seemed to have magical systems related to faith.

……

The next morning, the group regrouped and arrived at the north of the south city, where various magical forces had gathered.

A logistics base capable of accommodating thousands of people has been set up on Pushinian Hill Square, where military mages can be seen guarding it.

A golden, luxurious tent area, with the golden tent roofs connected to form a continuous campsite.

The most eye-catching one is naturally the Parthenon!

Many wounded soldiers who had been wounded on the front lines were gathered here, and the uniquely dressed mages were casting healing spells to treat the wounded.

"Huh? Why does that beautiful woman look so familiar?" Zhao Manyan suddenly said, turning his head to look at Mo Fan.

As a result, this guy started walking towards the girl who was being praised.

"Brother Mo Fan? What are you doing here!" Xin Xia said excitedly, her eyes sweeping across the crowd and spotting Mu Ningxue.

"Xinxia!" Mu Ningxue walked up and looked at her in disbelief. After being apart for so long, she never expected to see her here again.

"Hey~ let go of my hand right now!"

"Do you know what the crime is for offending a goddess's maid?"

Kulen immediately slapped away the lewd hand that was reaching for the goddess's maid, glaring angrily at the man in front of him.

"Damn it~ What's it to you if I want to kiss my own woman?" Mo Fan said in a somewhat roguish manner.

"Kullen, he's my brother, please don't do this."

Xinxia quickly explained, otherwise the two might have started fighting on the spot, especially her brother Mo Fan, who would inevitably clash with Kulun if he started acting like a hooligan.

"Brother? How could you have a brother like this? He's like a thug!"

"Boy, if you really are the older brother, then you should respect her. As a lady-in-waiting of the Parthenon, she is a respected figure. You are tarnishing her reputation!"

Kulen stared intently at him; his nonchalant attitude was practically smearing the image of the goddess attendant he served.
