Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 394 Support Arrives Again

After the first wave of Hades Frogs appeared, the number of subsequent arrivals gradually increased. On the second day, there were two Hades Frogs, and on the third day, three Hades Frogs appeared in succession, one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening.

It seems that Wang Teng's presence led to the rapid elimination of the Underworld Frog, causing Cardinal Leng Jue and his gang of rats to summon them even more frantically.

It even affected the discovery of the Great Pyramid of Giza. On the fourth day, the pyramid was still not seen, but four Hades frogs appeared at the same time!

But it still didn't have much effect; it just resulted in a few more normal attacks.

To say there were no changes at all wouldn't be entirely true. For example, he gained four monarch-level essences, but the rest were fragments, which, along with his body, were fed to the Xuan Snake.

Xuan She: Hiccup~ (Stop sliding tackles, this is the end of the last ten years.)

This is no joke. Even though the Xuan Snake is at the peak of the Supreme Monarch level, it is still a bit hard to digest after eating ten Monarch-level Netherworld Frogs in the past few days.

Judging from the feedback from the Black Serpent, Wang Teng had indeed gained a great deal of benefit; the Black Serpent had received a significant boost in its ability to produce potent venom.

After all, having spent the entire time in West Lake, I had never consumed any truly nourishing foods. Although the Netherworld Frog's strength was not particularly impressive, its toxicity was exceptional.

As a master of poison as well, Xuan She was naturally able to recruit him for his own use.

While his cultivation level has reached its limit, there is still considerable room for improvement in his combat power. Among all the supreme monarchs, Xuan She is not yet considered one of the top.

After the fourth day ended, a group of unexpected people arrived at Zhenbeiguan Fortress that evening.

The conference room inside the city gate tower.

"Wang Teng, you really didn't say a word about something this big. If it weren't for the military's message, I wouldn't even know."

Pang Lai, looking travel-worn, sat down, took a sip of hot tea, and immediately launched into a tirade of criticism against Wang Teng.

Sitting next to him was Zhu Meng, a councilor who was an "old acquaintance" of Wang Teng.

In addition, there was a young-looking man staring intently at Wang Teng, as if he were sizing something up, with a rather strange look in his eyes.

These three are heavyweight figures who came from the capital to provide support.

Also present were Staff Officer Bin and her adjutant, Mo Fan had returned, and Zhao Manyan and Lingling were also there.

Wang Teng braced himself and slowly spoke under Jiang Shaoli's gaze: "Chief, it's not that I don't want to say it, but the existence of the Pharaoh is too outrageous, and forbidden spells are of little use."

"Apart from the Pharaoh himself, I can handle almost all the other undead, so I didn't plan to call you guys for this mission."

Upon hearing this, Pang Lai immediately flew into a rage, pointing at him and shouting angrily, "Are you looking down on me?"

"Still think I'm incapable of slaying demons? How about I put you in the chief position???"

Wang Teng smiled, unsure whether Pang Lai was serious or not, but he didn't want to accept the chief position.

He's so busy right now that he can't even spare much time to comprehend forbidden spells. He'd have to be crazy to accept that call.

As for the other party being emotionally agitated? Just take that with a grain of salt; it's naive to actually believe it.

"I didn't say that. It's just that since I've taken over the defense of Zhenbei Pass, I naturally have to do it my way."

"There's not much need for forbidden spells to enter the arena, and the risks are too high. If we could just have a go at the Pharaoh, that would be fine, but if we lose, we'd die."

"Besides, if you can't cast a forbidden spell instantly, you don't even have the right to touch it," Wang Teng said, shaking his head and stating the truth.

Don't assume that Old King is inferior to Old King, but it depends on who you compare him to, such as a human forbidden spell mage.

The Pharaoh himself is a being of the five forbidden spells, and is also the king of the Egyptian underworld at the peak of his imperial power, possessing immortality.

What human forbidden spell mage could possibly defeat them?

As for why he didn't mention taking down Leng Jue and dealing with the person who caused the problem, Wang Teng chose to automatically forget about it.

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Shaoli's expression hardened. He felt offended. "Want to cast a forbidden spell instantly? Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Zhu Meng remained seated, keeping his mouth shut and not uttering a single word. With Chief Pang Lai present, he had no room to speak.

But his gaze kept drifting to Wang Teng, and seeing his arrogant remarks and confident manner, he felt that he had been quite modest.

Staff Officer Bin remained silent, while the remaining three—Lingling, Zhao Manyan, and Mo Fan—exchanged glances at each other in silence from time to time.

Seeing that he wasn't falling for her trick, Pang Lai's anger subsided instantly. She took a sip of tea and continued, "Tell me, what's your plan?"

"Since you think you can handle it, shouldn't you have a plan?"

This kid's thinking is much more mature than he imagined. There are still some issues he hasn't raised, such as why he hasn't tried to cut off the source after being here for several days.

As the chief, he encountered countless members of parliament, each with their own agendas.

Unfortunately, he caught a whiff of that cunning scent on Wang Teng.

He usually has to deal with these kinds of things on a case-by-case basis. As long as there are no serious consequences and the incident has been dealt with, he can turn a blind eye.

He wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong; he naturally had some knowledge of the Pharaoh, and what Wang Teng said was indeed true.

But he overlooked one thing: their job is to deal with these high-risk incidents, so how could they have a foolproof solution?

Sometimes, even death is a reason to go!

Given that the other party was very young and had not yet faced such a desperate situation, he refrained from commenting or blaming them.

On the contrary, the fact that the other party could still think so clearly when faced with such a complex crisis made him admire them even more.

Wang Teng also took a sip of hot tea. Now that the conversation had reached this point, it seemed the other party intended to hear his action plan.

So he said, "I've already sent Mo Fan to invite the Old King. If all goes well, we should have a result by tomorrow."

"According to speculation, the Pharaoh's pyramid will descend upon the Northern Plains by this time tomorrow at the latest."

"Most of the personnel and novice mages had already been evacuated in advance, so there aren't many people left here."

"Tomorrow, all mages whose combat power is below the high level should retreat to the rear. There is no point in staying here. A single aftershock of the battle could turn the fortress into ruins."

"If the Ancient King comes, we are confident we can defeat the Pharaoh. If the Ancient King doesn't come, we will abandon this place and retreat while fighting."

"There is no suitable environment for the enemy to operate here, so the area where they can attack is limited."

Wang Teng revealed part of his plan, but left out the rest. For example, if the Old King didn't come, he would find an opportunity to quickly kill Leng Jue and destroy the triangular dimensional mirror altar used for summoning.

Given the range of his mental power, and even the range of his divine gifts, to say that he couldn't find Leng Jue would be an insult to his intelligence.

Without this spatial anchor point, the pyramid would automatically return to its original location; otherwise, it would remain in the human world forever.

The Pharaoh was clearly not very bold; he wouldn't dare do that. Those birdmen in the Holy City would be enough to give him a hard time.

If his underworld were destroyed, he would completely lose his immortality, something he could never accept.

If the pyramids were destroyed, rebuilding them in this era would be virtually impossible.

After all, besides this world, there are many other dimensional planes where emperors are ranked, and even emperors can die if they are not careful. Furthermore, the undead are generally more ostracized.
