Chapter 239: Dispute between the Mage Apprentices
The threat of the Hell Demons was especially serious.
In Kant’s opinion, the endless stream of demonized creatures that appeared in batches in the ancient passage were the biological weapons created by the terrifying demons that originated from hell.
He had to deal with the hell demons as soon as possible. Otherwise, when it broke out of the underground city’s seal, it would bring a huge wave of demonized creatures and rush out of the ruins and passage along the ancient passage. Then, the village “Aaron” at the peak of the mountain would suffer the most direct impact, and the danger factor would multiply!
Bandake could also think of this point.
Although he had never seen a hell demon before, he had heard of it in the legends of the Caradia Empire.
It was said that the collapse of the Caradia Empire was caused by the Hell Demon. The kings and the lords were lured and attacked each other, causing the entire empire to be unable to maintain its unity and be invaded and divided by foreign tribes.
Of course, this was just the nonsense of the theologians. Any empire’s collapse had its own reasons.
The internal conflicts of the noble families in the Caradia Empire could not be alleviated, resulting in the final division.
This had nothing to do with the demons of hell.
However, the alarmist theologians could always describe the demons of hell vividly, as if they were adding all the evil in the world to these creatures, adding to the terrifying reputation of the demons of hell, in the literary works of the continent of Caradia, their reputation was in tatters.
“My Lord, my Lord Bandake, everything has been cleaned up. We can leave this place at any time!”
Many soldiers moved quickly.
Everything was quickly cleaned up.
“Very good.” Bandake turned his head and said solemnly to Kant, “My Lord, let’s leave now. When we return, we will gather our troops. We must definitely kill the demons of hell!”
“Mm.” Kant nodded solemnly as well.
Just as they were about to retreat and set off, they saw the seven mage apprentices beside them mumbling something.
They seemed to be discussing fervently.
Kant frowned slightly.
This was not in line with the steady character of the mages. He had never seen these mage apprentices so excited. He could not help but feel his heart tighten. He thought of the Hell Fiend’s methods of secretly bewitching people and changing their character. Subconsciously, he put his right hand on the hilt of his sword and berated in a deep voice, “Quiet!”
Kant’s berating echoed in the ancient passage, and the surrounding soldiers subconsciously stood solemnly. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Kant and the mage apprentices who were being reprimanded.
Even bandark also frowned and subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the Germanic sword on his waist, Spatha.
“What’s going on?”
Kant reprimanded, “You’re still making a ruckus at a time like this. You look a little agitated.”
The mage apprentices were silent.
They looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.
“Answer me.” Kant frowned and raised his head. He pointed his chin at the leading Mage Apprentice and asked in a deep voice, “What exactly happened? Now, you will report to me!”
“My Lord… yes… Yes…”
The leading apprentice’s eyes were filled with a bit of hesitation.
They also stuttered, struggling to finish their sentences.
Bandake frowned, and his tone carried a bit of anger. He directly reprimanded in Kant’s place, “Stop stuttering! Saying what you have to say. Do you need Lord Kant to personally ask you to answer the question?”
He had a calm personality, after all, he was a middle-aged man who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
But it was precisely because of this that he was somewhat displeased with the student-like appearance of these mage apprentices who were more than 20 years younger.
“Speak.”
Kant also spoke, but some of them had already tightened their grip on the hilt of their swords.
These seven people had their heads lowered, and they did not answer. They even looked at each other. Something was really wrong.
But he still wanted to confirm it.
His thoughts directly communicated with the system. The interface of the troop class appeared.
Although there was no level up, it meant that the seven wizard apprentices were still under his command. The constant loyalty from the system did not make any mistakes. Judging from their actions, they also did not have any intention of resisting.
Kant’s gaze was much gentler. He asked in a deep voice, “What exactly happened?”
“It… it’s like this.”
The leading mage apprentice also spoke as if he had been appointed.
He organized his words a little, he immediately reported to Kant, “We sensed that the powerful and weak source of negative energy is that Hell Demon. So we guessed that after tens of thousands of years of sealing, even if that Hell Demon is alive now, it’s actually a fierce-looking but indecisive person. Its combat strength is not even one-thousandth of its peak!”
“That’s right, we think that Hell Demon is just a show. As long as our troops go up and use the positive energy seal formed by the temple of the Sun and the sacred sun pattern, we will be able to kill it!”
The other two mage apprentices also spoke, their tone was very determined.
Obviously, this was the opinion of the three of them.
However, the other four mage apprentices frowned, they immediately tried to dissuade him. “No, we don’t agree. The power of the hell demons is obviously beyond our expectations. Even our instructors and mages wouldn’t be able to resist these hell demons. Even if they are sealed, they still have their own innate power to use. We mustn’t let our guard down!”
“You’re arguing over this?” Bandake was stunned. He couldn’t help but look at Kant, shook his head, and snorted. “These guys are really a group of pure students.”
They said what they had to say.
The military didn’t pay attention to debate. They only paid attention to the facts.
Upon hearing their views, Bandake suddenly thought of something. He asked Kant, “My Lord, when you came into contact with the Infernal Demon, did you engage in a battle with it?”
“No.” Kant frowned. He seemed to be deep in thought. “Due to that threat, I directly gave the order to retreat.”
“Perhaps we should test them a little,” Bandake said.
“Indeed.” Kant understood at this time.
Thinking that he did not even test them and directly ordered the entire army to retreat, he could not help but frown, he said in a deep voice, “This is my mistake. What these mage apprentices said is indeed reasonable. If I test them, perhaps there would not be such a dispute.”
“My Lord, according to our senses, that Hell Demon is very weak.”
The leading mage apprentice said, “I think that the Rangers and Patrollers of Ravenston might be able to help us test it out. After all, there is still the temple of the Sun and the sacred sun pattern in the early stages. These positive energy seals make it impossible for that Hell Demon to leave the underground city, so it can only be in a passive defensive status. We can test it out at any time!”
Kant made up his mind. “Okay, that’s it!”
He turned his head to look at Rhodoks’s infantrymen and the Archers of Ravenston. He waved his hand and said, “Everyone, continue to follow me.”After a pause, he said softly, “Perhaps I really have been deceived.”
At that time, Kant had met the Saintess of the Sun God’s bloodline in the ruins.
He had also met the female succubus who had also been sealed.
However, in the age of gods, the magic, divine spell, and magic that were so powerful that they could ignore the number of ordinary people were all not used. They were so easily destroyed by Kant’s team.
