Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 294 Ample Magic Stones

Upon hearing General Mott's words, everyone's anger flared up instantly.

This is forcing them to go out and die!

The Strange Bird Tribe is a formidable force; even a large army might not be able to wipe them out, let alone the tribe itself. Their only hope lies in the city's defenses.

"We are members of the National Team. We came to your city during the National Pavilion Challenge. You have an obligation to protect our safety. This is a right granted to us by the International Magic Organization, and it is also an obligation that you should bear!" Ai Jiangtu said.

When the National University Team began their training in the World University Competition, their mentors specifically explained the rules of the competition and their rights during the National University Challenge.

This is one of the reasons why Ai Jiangtu immediately led his team to the Peruvian National Pavilion to take on the challenge. He hoped to use the defensive capabilities of the city where the pavilion was located to help them withstand the attacks of the strange bird, and at the same time figure out why the strange bird kept attacking them.

"Your country failed to handle the threat of demons properly, so why should we bear the responsibility?" Nan Jue said angrily.

From the time they first encountered the strange bird to this attack, the distance between the two places was at least several hundred kilometers, and there were countless cities along the way, yet these cities did not do anything to stop the strange bird that flew over their heads.

"Hmph, we have no obligation to risk our soldiers' lives to save you. I'm giving you one last minute to leave this city immediately!" General Mott said.

"Nan Jue, forget it. There's no need to waste our time surviving with this kind of person." Ai Jiangtu stopped Nan Huan, who was about to explode, and turned to leave the city.

Of course, some members of the team still wanted to stay in the city, but General Mott was truly a werewolf. He immediately emitted a magical fluctuation, as if he was about to make a move if the members of the Chinese National Government did not move.

As Jiang Shaoxu followed behind Ai Jiangtu and was about to descend the watchtower, he suddenly turned around, pointed at General Mott, and said angrily, "Your name is Mott, right? Don't worry, whether we survive this time or not, you are definitely going to die, and your country will lose the support of all sectors of Chinese society because of your actions."

Upon hearing Jiang Shaoxu's words, a hint of apprehension flashed across General Mote's face.

Although China's recent performance in the National Championships has been less than ideal, leading many to believe that China's overall strength is no longer what it used to be, China's comprehensive strength is still among the top five in the world.

The reason why people feel that China is not strong is mainly because China is a vast country with abundant resources and a long coastline. There are too many places that need to be guarded by mages, which makes it somewhat weak in international standing.

Even so, China is not a country that small like them can afford to offend.

"Do you think threatening me will work? This whole thing was started by you!" Mott didn't show any fear on his face, remaining as cold as iron.

"While you still have some time, hurry and run south along this coastline. There's an old fort there."

"You can hold out there for a while. You should figure out as soon as possible where you offended the Nazcagumon; perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope." Seeing that the Chinese National Team was about to leave, Osto hurriedly followed and earnestly reminded them.

After leaving the city, the group traveled along the coastline, using magic to speed up their journey. Finally, near a rocky beach, they spotted an old castle, an ancient building nestled between sea cliffs, with parts of it even submerged in seawater.

Upon arriving at the castle, the group discovered that its terrain was advantageous, resolving their predicament of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and allowing them to slightly delay their impending demise.

Meanwhile, the castle also has a defensive barrier, but it has been temporarily depleted and needs to be recharged with new energy to continue its use.

Before the strange bird arrived, the group quickly searched the castle, but apart from finding some magic stones that could enhance the barrier's function, they found nothing else of value.

"We have a limited number of magic stones, and they can't provide enough energy instantly. We can only slowly open the barrier, which will take quite a while. Until then, you need to hold on and provide time for the barrier to open. Moreover, with the current reserves of magic stones, even if we open the barrier, it probably won't last long. We need to think of a way to break the deadlock before the barrier collapses," Nan Jue said.

"No problem. We'll split into two groups and take turns fighting the strange bird at the entrance to buy time to open the barrier." Ai Jiangtu said, quickly dividing the team and letting Mo Fan lead the men to guard the entrance first.

"Nan Jue, according to you, as long as there are enough magic stones, a defensive barrier can be activated in a short time?"

Lin Chen asked.

"That's right, but the magic stones we have, plus the ones we found here, will only last for about an hour at most after the defensive barrier is activated." Nan Yu's expression was rather grim. Once the barrier ends, their fate will not change in any way; it will only postpone their death.

"That's good, we should be fine now. I'll make sure you have plenty of magic stones!" Lin Chen said.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Chen with strange expressions.

Magic stones are very precious items that can be used as an energy source for various items. Using magic stones for cultivation is considered the most wasteful way to use them, so most people don't carry a lot of magic stones with them.

"Take these and use them. There are more if you need them!" Lin Chen said, waving his hand. One earth-type magic stone after another appeared in front of everyone, and in no time, they filled almost half the room.

"Enough, enough!" Nan Jue shouted as Lin Chen continued to pour out magic stones.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen also stopped pouring the magic stones outwards.

Without bothering to ask Lin Chen where he got so many magic stones, Nan Jue immediately directed everyone to prepare to activate the defensive barrier.

With the support of everyone's magic stone energy, the defensive barrier was activated in a flash, protecting the entire castle.

At the entrance, Mo Fan and his companions, who were fighting the strange bird, suddenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from inside the castle. Then, an energy barrier appeared before their eyes at a visible speed, intercepting the strange bird that was attacking them from outside.

Seeing this, Mo Fan and the others were also curious, as this was somewhat different from what Nan Jue had said before.

After confirming that the strange bird could not break through the barrier's defenses, Mo Fan and his companions quickly headed into the castle.

"Nan Jue, how come this barrier opened so quickly—"

Mo Fan rushed into the room, and before he could finish speaking, he saw fire-type magic stones all over the floor, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Holy crap, you guys found treasure in the castle?!"
