129: Austin joins forces with the Magic Empire to deal with Wesley.
"Regardless, Wei He must have found out something; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so abnormal as to withdraw his troops from the front line. You are just too impatient. You should have at least waited until after fighting the Demon Race before making a move!" Emperor Alexander said to Grand Duke William, his face full of worry.
"Hey, before making a move, you all agreed to it. Why are you blaming me now!" Grand Duke William said, feeling very aggrieved.
"The key is what kind of trash assassins the World Destruction Alliance sent. Not only did they fail to kill Wei He, but they also let him discover them. Letting him discover them is one thing, but looking at it now, he even knows who the employer behind the scenes is!" Grand Duke James downed another glass of strong liquor.
"The World Destruction Alliance said they would send new assassins to assassinate Wei He, so there's no need to worry!" Grand Duke William ate his snack leisurely and said slowly, "Last time was an accident. According to their observations, the highest-level guard around Wei He was only at the World-Shocking Level, so they sent a Zhentian Level expert. They didn't expect him to be taken down by Wei He!"
"Nonsense, Wei He has a Space Mage by his side, yet you didn't tell them. They just sent a Zhentian Level Ability User; what use is that!" Emperor Alexander slammed his palm on the table, causing the wine glasses on the table to fall to the floor.
"If we told them, would they dare send people to assassinate him? Even we don't understand what kind of existence a Space Mage is, let alone them. We just wanted to kill Wei He, frame the Demon Race, and take the opportunity to take over the Space Mage under his command. By then, the entire continent would belong to our Magic Empire!" Grand Duke William tapped his thigh with his fingers, fantasizing smugly.
"And now? The entire Magic Empire is almost becoming his world? Hurry up and tell me what to do!" Emperor Alexander rubbed his palms, staring at the two people in front of him and asking anxiously.
"Ah, ah, help! Ah!" While the three were racking their brains in the secret room thinking about how to deal with Wei He, sounds of slaughter and screaming suddenly rang out above.
"What's going on? Someone dares to kill in the palace? Let's go, go out and take a look!" The three said in unison.
"Hahahaha, these people are really nourishing! One look and you know they haven't eaten less good food in the palace!" Several strands of black mist emitted from Austin, connecting to and enveloping several servants. These servants, at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly turned from living people into mummified corpses. Before dying, they used their last strength to scream for help desperately.
"Austin, what are you doing here again? Are you still coveting the throne? After you were defeated back then, you promised never to set foot in Laiseluo City again!" Emperor Alexander saw Austin just as he came out of the secret room. He couldn't help but suspect that the strange events in the Southern Province recently were related to him, so he said angrily.
"Hmph, you old thing, you are truly senile. You don't even know your own territory has been occupied by others. Hahahaha!" Austin retracted his black mist, and the few mummified corpses fell to the ground. At the same time, the injuries caused by nuclear radiation were also healing rapidly.
"Hmph, I knew it. Did you do the things in the Southern Province recently? You break your promises and are treacherous. Now you still fantasize about being emperor. I tell you, even if you occupy the Southern Province, I will not give the throne to you. You can give up that idea!" Emperor Alexander's pupils shrank suddenly, and his brows were filled with disgust.
"I came to help you. How stupid. How can someone as foolish as you be emperor? Forget it, let me tell you, the Southern Province has already been controlled by Wei He. I even fought with Wei He's subordinates and was injured by them. Now we must join forces to save the Magic Empire!" Austin looked at Emperor Alexander with contempt, as if looking at an idiot.
"As expected, it was Wei He who made the move. This is exactly the same as my guess. You actually couldn't beat his subordinates either. It seems you haven't made much progress over the years. Ah hahahaha!" A fierce look flashed in Grand Duke James's eyes, and he said slowly.
"Heh heh, when you see them, I hope you don't cry. Look at the people you've chosen. A lord rebelled first; this shows that you are a very incompetent emperor!" Austin's deep eyes were stained with a mocking expression.
"Alright, stop arguing. Let's think about what to do next. There is no movement at all in the entire Southern Province, which means Wei He has already controlled the whole territory. The empire's army is split into two fighting the Demon Race, so we are at a great disadvantage on the front line!" Grand Duke William's eyes flashed with cunning, and he said very calmly.
"So you mean to assassinate him? With our cultivation levels, even if Wei He has heaven-defying abilities, he is no match for us. Hahahaha!" Austin beamed with joy and laughed loudly.
"As for that little punk Wei He, we don't even need to make a move to assassinate him. He is just a Control Level Metal-element ability user!" Grand Duke James had been learning the latest intelligence on Wei He through Neme. Before Wei He withdrew from the front line, he had already reached the Control Level of Supernatural Ability.
"Then killing him would be too easy. But since his cultivation is so low, his defense must be very strict. What should we do?" Austin asked the three with suspicion in his eyes.
"Then we need to plan carefully!" Emperor Alexander's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became serious instantly.
Wei He, who was in Kela City, upon learning that Jacob would pass through Ande Valley, ordered Yuri and the Radiation Engineer to head to Ande Valley together. Thanks to the convenience of having the night hawk helicopter, people in Wei He's camp, even a small soldier, could quickly reach designated locations.
This resulted in Yuri and the Radiation Engineer arriving at Ande Valley within a day, even though Ande Valley was relatively close to Laiseluo City. They waited in the valley for three or four days before seeing Jacob riding a strange beast, leading a team slowly marching forward.
And what he was riding was a Rainbow Fire Deer. The Rainbow Fire Deer's body was more robust and slender than an ordinary deer. Its shoulders and back were covered with warm orange short fur, and the tips of its four hooves shimmered with fine golden light. When it ran, it was like stepping on sparks. It had branched antlers on its head, with the antlers condensing a glass-like rainbow color, while the tips of the antlers burned with clusters of pale blue ghostly fire that wasn't hot but shone warmly. When running, it was like carrying a trail of stardust and rainbow clouds.
"Hmph, so many scouts were sent out, but none could return. I heard they all died in this Ande Valley, the only way to the Southern Province!" Jacob frowned, speaking with a hint of anger.
"Great Commander, with you personally taking action, and with us twenty-four Magisters assisting, this time we will definitely be able to successfully reach the Southern Province to investigate the truth and report back to His Majesty!" A Magister wearing a purple magic robe, holding a crystal-clear transparent magic sphere in his hand, rode on an ordinary red horse and said to Jacob with a grin.
"I heard that the Magic Array formed by you twenty-four Magisters is so powerful that even a Magister-level mage cannot withstand the damage of the Magic Array. Is this true?" Jacob asked with eyes full of curiosity. He usually was responsible for the activities of the Imperial Guard and had never seen the scene of a Magic Array being activated to kill enemies.
"Of course. Twenty-four Magisters actually don't count as a big array. The Seven-Star Big Dipper Array formed by seven Magisters is the truly powerful one. That is an array that can defeat a Saint Archmage!" The Magister holding the transparent magic sphere said slowly.
