Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 447 Silence

After the two sea monsters attacked and then retreated, the remaining high-level mages all gathered around, some guarding the front and others coming to the rear to check.

Seeing Mu Junsi's miserable state, Tang Yue's heart pounded, and she had a direct experience of the threat posed by the so-called peak-level sea monster.

Almost all of Mu Junsi's protective gear was destroyed, and he barely managed to save his life.

Thinking of Wang Teng's reminder to her before she came, she was filled with emotion and mixed feelings. There was really no way out when fighting such a sea monster.

The others had similar expressions, some even showing signs of retreat in their eyes; the intensity of the battle had exceeded their expectations.

The Sirens are indeed rich in resources, but you also need to be alive to get them.

The entire exchange was extremely brief, with players unleashing their ultimate moves almost immediately upon meeting, and the opportunities to seize them were equally perilous.

Mu Junsi and Dongfang Wu's teamwork was already perfect, but they were still no match for their opponents. The two sea beasts were only retreating.

What should we do next?

Mu Junsi was quickly treated by a healing mage who arrived from the rear, and then he was quickly moved to another place to recuperate. He would not be able to participate in the next battle.

The high-level mages quickly returned to the front lines.

"How is Mu Junsi?" Dongfang Wu asked with a hint of worry.

"We've managed to save one life for now, but there's no way we can fight anymore!" Judge Li Tian sighed. They hadn't faced this much danger when they fought the Silver Dome Lord.

Come to think of it, that guy was just playing with them back then; the Silver Dome Lord didn't go all out.

Otherwise, none of them might have survived!

Dongfang Wu remained silent after hearing this, thinking that it was already good enough to save his life, as that was the Sea Demon Lord's breath attack.

But now there is a problem that needs to be addressed: who will take charge of the defense? Mu Jun Si is the commander of the Hangzhou Imperial Guard Mage Corps, and the other side has been responsible for communication.

These elite mages from noble families are fine in battle, but they're not suited to command the Imperial Guard mages and garrison mages in defense.

"Who will take command now? The military mages stationed here are all high-ranking military intelligence officers; there are no high-ranking command staff officers."

One of the high-level mages immediately raised this very important question.

No one expected that the team's commander would be the first to leave the field.

This reveals the independent command systems of each magical faction.

In defensive battles, the military commanders of the Imperial Guard Mage Corps are usually in charge of command or the garrison staff. Now that there is a Shepherd Military Commander, there is no need for another commander. Who would they listen to then?

The military doesn't have that many high-ranking command staff to mobilize; they all need to stay in necessary areas, and the support teams that come to their aid are basically high-ranking military intelligence units.

Therefore, they were temporarily placed under the command of the military headquarters and joined the defensive battle, since the two sides had very similar fighting styles.

Furthermore, the Magic Association or the Inquisition are elite battles fought by small teams of several people, and their command methods are definitely not suitable for large-scale operations.

The super-level mages present remained silent. This matter was both simple and complex; the battle plan had already been finalized and there was no need to concern themselves with it.

The only problem is that whoever is in charge will have to face those two peak-level sea monsters, who are at the highest level.

If it weren't for that recent battle, someone might have stepped forward, but now they probably wouldn't have the courage.

One meeting resulted in the death of a super-level mage and serious injury to a super-level military commander. Who can withstand that?

Reaching the Super Rank is no easy feat; not everyone possesses the fearless spirit of a military staff officer!

Behind each of these high-level mages stands a family or even a powerful force. Who would be willing to take on such a near-death experience?

The gazes of the group of elite family mages turned to the several members of the Magic Association, the chief judge of the Tribunal, and the elite mages of the Pearl Mage Corps present.

They are the only official magical institution, representing the face of the government.

The rain was still pouring down, but the atmosphere was extremely tense and silent.

"Ahem~" One of the Magic Association councilors, feeling a little embarrassed by the stares, coughed softly.

However, everyone's attention quickly shifted to him!

A flicker of panic crossed the face of the Magic Association councilor, who quickly explained, "There's no point in discussing this now."

"None of us here have experience commanding large-scale legion battles."

"So report this matter quickly and get someone from above to take charge."

"Now that we have a lot of people, we can gather together and hold things together for the time being."

A look of disappointment flashed across everyone's faces after hearing his words; they had thought this guy was going to step up and turn the tide.

The councilor of the Magic Association reached out and wiped the rain from his head, his hand trembling slightly, it was hard to tell whether he was wiping rainwater or sweat.

"Then let's do it this way. Have the military commander's adjutant report the situation as soon as possible, and you can include our message," Dongfang Wu said.

The Mu family had only recently formed an alliance with the Dongfang family, so they should lend a helping hand if they could.

Most of the people present were shrewd and cautious, and they couldn't bring themselves to say many things. Sometimes, speaking requires taking responsibility, especially for people of their stature.

Moreover, this matter is actually not that difficult; there are capable people who are willing to take responsibility, but they just dare not speak up.

Those who know dare not speak out, because what if they do speak out and offend the other party?

Soon the adjutant was summoned and given a series of instructions. Then the remaining twenty-odd super-rank mages began to discuss their positions again.

At this moment, no one dared to stand alone in one spot. The two sea monsters were coming with great momentum, and if reinforcements were not provided in time, the same pattern would repeat itself.

Finally, considering safety, it was decided that three people would defend one area. Dongfang Wu, because he had consumed a lot of magic energy when releasing the super-level three magic, would be assigned to a random task to clear out the commander-level sea monsters that had infiltrated from the rear.

The area is nearly 12 kilometers wide, but there are only nine guard posts, and they are all relatively concentrated in the central area.

At the trial, Tang Yue, Ding Yumin, and Hei Yu gathered together, all in a rather conservative position, in the center of the left side.

After all, it was already quite an achievement for two female mages who had only recently broken through to the Super Rank to be able to go to the battlefield.

Another point is that the super-level mages present basically all know who these two represent, but they just keep it to themselves.

Therefore, in arranging seating, they are generally taken care of by default.

"Hoo hoo hoo~ I thought they were going to choose me." Ding Yumin patted her chest and joked. Being stared at by a group of super-level mages was indeed very stressful.

"Haha~ You're overthinking it. With so many grown men here, why would they let two young girls like you show up? They wouldn't have the face to do so." Kuroba laughed heartily.

Tang Yue was also amused and laughed, which eased her tension a little. She remembered that the scene just now was indeed very oppressive.

They were all cunning old foxes, and none of them were willing to speak first. Finally, a member of the Magic Association spoke up.

It's better to stay at the trial hall. I don't have to deal with these shrewd people. I just need to carry out the mission of catching a criminal. It feels much easier.

Standing with this group of people, saying a single word felt more tiring than fighting a siren.
