Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 448 Playing Tricks on Everyone

Despite the failure of the attack, Qiu Chi did not completely withdraw from the bay, but chose to linger in this area of ​​over a hundred kilometers.

As an emotional sea monster that enjoys creating fun and killing, it is also extremely vengeful and petty.

Having just suffered a defeat and nearly been seriously injured, Qiu Chi was extremely unwilling to accept it and was determined to take revenge.

Except when faced with a life-threatening crisis, marine mammals largely act on their emotions, and considering the consequences is not something they take into account.

Qiu Chi didn't want to leave, and Qiu Zi naturally wouldn't run away alone. The two beasts always fought together, almost like they were wearing the same pair of pants.

Located at the edge of the bay, Baxia swam happily, feeling as joyful as if it were New Year's Day for having just suffered a great loss while imprisoning Chi.

These two scoundrels are its lifelong enemies!

Now, it's not really desirable to rush in and start a fight, since the enemy still has combat power, and the human side doesn't seem to have any intention of taking the initiative.

It would be difficult for it to defeat those two wretches on its own; the other party had something disgusting about them that made it have to be on guard.

Soon the tidal force began to recede, and without the support of this power, the sirens retreated to the rear.

With two sea beasts at the peak of the Great Monarch level present, the sea monsters had no right to leave and were summoned back as cannon fodder.

Even the siren leaders needed to go outside to summon more siren cannon fodder in preparation for the next attack.

The siren's temporary retreat allowed the human mage to breathe a sigh of relief, even though the battle had only lasted for two or three hours, he felt completely exhausted.

imperial capital.

Shao Zheng, who had just returned, immediately received an emergency report from Hangzhou.

Sitting in his office, he listened attentively to his secretary's report.

"Hangzhou is currently requesting reinforcements from the command center..." The secretary finished speaking and closed the booklet, awaiting Shao Zheng's opinion.

"You can go back to work now. I'll call you if I need anything later," Shao Zheng said calmly.

"Yes, Speaker." The secretary turned and left the office.

Click~

As the office door closed, Shao Zheng was left alone inside. He rubbed his temples expressionlessly.

The situation in Hangzhou had unexpectedly deteriorated to such an awkward state; given the weakness and tendency to compromise of those powerful families, they simply couldn't hold out for long.

If he doesn't send someone over, there's a chance that a high-level mage might run away the next time the tide comes in.

This is an even bigger blow to morale!

The military commander in Hangzhou was still alive, and changing commanders on the eve of battle was a major taboo. After all, if you just send someone who is not familiar with the situation, it will be difficult for them to give effective command.

The key issue is that their strength doesn't allow it. Most of the Imperial Guard mages and military commanders are roughly equal in strength, and they simply cannot withstand the attack pressure from two peak-level sea beasts of the Great Monarch level.

Even if a high-ranking military officer were put in command, it would only increase casualties.

The secretary's report just now implied that a strong person was needed to take charge, and everything else was trivial.

Those people were genuinely afraid of dying in front of the siren...

Shao Zheng took a deep breath, casually took out two top-secret documents from a small drawer, and opened them to extract the information.

One of the documents was titled "The Fusion of the Aristocratic Alliance - The New Ancient Demonic Sect's Hall of Heroes!"

Shao Zheng carefully read the document, which consisted of only three pages. He finished reading it quickly, and his expression changed somewhat.

He then picked up another document, which contained Wang Teng's latest personal information update, as well as the approval documents from the military commander and the chief.

After reading it, he skillfully put the information back into the file folder and then put it back into the small drawer. He leaned back, squinted his eyes, and began to think.

We can discuss the Hall of Heroes later; let's see how we can provide support to Hangzhou.

Zhu Meng's image instantly appeared in his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Zhu Meng is very strong and can hold the line, but that's all he can do.

If there was only one sea monster, Zhu Meng would have been satisfied. But there are no "ifs." If they failed again, it would further dampen the morale of the group.

Mo Fan then appeared. Shao Zheng frowned again, hesitated for a moment, and then ruled him out. Growth potential is not the same as combat power.

The other party still has a mission to find the totem, so there's no need to drag them into it at this time.

The range of choices is large, but there are too few people who meet the requirements, and there are some people he can't persuade even if he wants to.

After all, anyone capable of handling this situation must be a top-tier super-level mage with immense power and a very high status.

A significant number of people with that ability would have already gone international to develop their careers, or been recruited by other international forces.

With forbidden spells currently unusable, there are too few top-tier combatants at the super-level.

"Wang Teng... is growing too fast. If we're not careful, he will become the next world powerhouse at the level of Su Lu."

Shao Zheng sighed helplessly. Even without the country's help, the other party was able to bypass the forbidden spell silently!

Such talent, gift, and luck are simply unimaginable.

If this continues for a while, the other side's strength will likely increase dramatically, and by then, one member of parliament will no longer be a good match for them.

This resulted in the fact that the position of parliament became dispensable to him, and such a person was always a guest of honor wherever he went.

A person's position is not commensurate with their virtue... This kind of thing actually happens quite often in life.

However, Wang Teng is even more special. He is growing at such a terrifying speed, and his future achievements are frightening to even think about.

Shao Zheng hesitated for a moment, then immediately picked up the landline on the table and started dialing. Soon, he dialed a number.

beep...

"Speaker?" Pang Lai's serious voice came through the phone after it was connected, clearly not expecting to call through an encrypted channel.

"Old Pang... there's something I want to ask you..." Shao Zheng told the other party his thoughts.

……

The situation in Hangzhou Bay remains dire. The two sea monsters, in front of everyone, created clouds of water vapor to toy with them.

The entire bay area of ​​Hangzhou was shrouded in thick mist, interspersed with torrential rain and a strong smell of the sea.

In addition, the occasional swarms of sirens sent up to harass and attack the garrisoned mages, leaving them both annoyed and exhausted.

Even with rotating rest days, you're still exhausted by the end of the day.

The high-level mages stationed there were also getting increasingly irritated, feeling as if they were soaking in a misty haze.

Now they dare not rush into the bay to fight those two sea monsters, yet they also dare not leave this place.

At this point, it all comes down to who wants to take the lead in running away. Once someone starts, then everyone can leave with peace of mind.

Even if someone is held accountable, the one who led the escape should be blamed; that's obvious.

Don't assume that super-class mages have high moral standards. If they had known the strength of these two sea beasts beforehand, the number of super-class mages stationed here now would probably be less than half.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the next tidal force was approaching.

"How's it going? Have you received any response from higher-ups?"

"It's been so long, shouldn't they send someone over by now?"

The group of high-level mages gathered again, and the adjutant of the General's Division was pulled over to ask questions.

The adjutant wore a wry smile; he too had his own grievances to express. Faced with the questions from a group of super-powerful figures, he dared not show any sign of dissatisfaction.

"We received our request for help a long time ago, but I don't know why there hasn't been a response yet," the adjutant said, shrugging his shoulders to indicate that he had nothing to say.

Thinking to myself, with so many high-level mages stationed here, are you really afraid of those two sea beasts?

Of course, he would never dare say this to their faces; he was still thinking of working hard for a few years to accumulate some resources.
