Chapter 575: A Last Stand
"Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?" Kelman asked Thain during the trip west.
The relationship between father and son has never been too close.
Thane considered him his father, but most of the time, Thain had his own execution methods, and Kelman almost never forced Thain in certain aspects.
In response to his father's question, Thain was silent for a moment and then replied: "I have someone I like."
"Oh? Who is it? Is it a magician from your Jade Origin Holy Tower? Which family does she come from?" Kelman asked curiously.
Kelman's question reminded Thain that Lena was not from a noble family.
The other party seems to be a real commoner, and besides Thane, Lina doesn't have any particularly close family members.
So, when Thain responded with silence, Kelman also realized something and stopped talking.
From a father's perspective, Kelman supports Thain in adhering to his own ideas.
But from the perspective of the family, Kelman sighed and said, "Your great-grandfather values this marriage very much, but don't blame them. In the eyes of our older generation of knights, family interests outweigh everything else."
"But as a father, I support your decision." Kelman looked at Thain brightly and said.
Thain also looked at Kelman and nodded slowly.
…
It took a month to travel from Thunder Swamp Camp to the center of Thunder Plains in the west.
Different from the relatively small Thunder Swamp Camp, this fortress base standing in the center of Thunder Plains is towering and huge.
In addition to the main body of the fortress that has been built, there is also a space fortress with a diameter of more than 10,000 meters floating above the base.
The space fortress of the Knights' Hall of the Steel Wall Fist has a gray-white outer shell.
This is a space fortress that looks relatively simple and majestic from the outside.
From time to time, there are strong knights traveling inside and outside the space fortress.
In many corners of the space fortress, Thane also saw combat devices such as magic cannons and elemental stances.
In the past wars that took place on the Thunder Plains, this space fortress of the Steel Wall Fist Knight Hall also played a role in firepower output that cannot be ignored.
"It is obviously much smaller than the space fortress of Master Cuilis, and the number of magic cannons installed outside the fortress does not seem to be as good as the space fortress of Master Cuilis."
"However, the lower level of this fortress is surprisingly large. Is this to carry a larger number of slave biological legions?"
After arriving at the main base of the Plains Fortress, Thane looked up at the gray space fortress in the sky and sighed.
As the main battlefield, there are obviously many more knights patrolling here than in the places Thane passed through before.
And the real number accounted for a huge proportion, or the slave creatures gathering and pushing around the fortress.
Hundreds of thousands of slave biological cannon fodder are also a big investment for the Steel Wall Fist Knight Hall.
During this period of time, Thane also learned a lot about the Knights Hall of Steel Wall Fist.
Among all the knights' halls in the wizarding world, the overall strength of this knight's hall should only be at a lower-middle level.
It is estimated to be slightly stronger than the newly established Jizhiyuan Holy Tower.
The majestic gray space fortress in the sky is indeed eye-catching, but maybe because of this space fortress, the fourth-level knight Steel Wall Fist is also burdened with a large amount of magic currency loan.
The World War of Thunder has completely infiltrated the Knights Hall of Steel Wall Fist.
They shouldn't have waded into this muddy water.
If the final victory of the war is easy to say, at best, the price paid during the period will be relatively heavy.
But if this war ends in failure, the three knights' halls will finally withdraw to the wizarding world in despair...
I don’t know what will happen to the Thunder Knights Hall and the Qinglanfeng Knights Hall, but at least the Steel Wall Fist Knights Hall will definitely be in big trouble.
Therefore, for the Steel Wall Fist Knight Hall, this war must be won!
Before entering the center of the fortress, the mission assignment for Thain had already come down.
Sure enough, a magician like Thain, who is also a powerful second-level magician, is a "hot potato" that is highly valued by the fortress command in this plane war.
Magicians like Thane are each extremely precious large-scale firepower output units.
If calculated based on pure numbers, it is not an exaggeration to send five knights of the same level to protect Thain's safety on the battlefield!
In the Thunder Swamp battlefield, Thane can still fight on the front line of the battlefield.
But on the plains battlefield where both sides participate in larger exhibitions, there should be fewer such opportunities.
Of course, Thain himself was really not interested, so he went deep into the front line and wandered through the muddy waters of a fierce battlefield with millions of people.
This is a joke with your own life.
In this level of melee, even a third-level great magician may not be able to safely save his life.
Don’t forget, there are level four creatures on both sides of this battlefield.
Moreover, there are definitely a lot of demigod-level creatures that appear in it.
Thain is just a magician who has just been promoted to the second level, so it is better to keep a low profile.
The task assigned to Thain by the fortress was to go to the west of the base and be responsible for the dispatch of the three magic towers there.
This is a relatively easy job, because as far as Thain knows, the main battlefield between the Knights Hall of the Steel Wall Fist and the indigenous creatures of the Thunder World is located in the northeast of the fortress.
Unless those creatures from the Thunder World bypass and attack the base with a group of legions, the war pressure on Thane's side will not be great.
However, on the ever-changing battlefield, there are no absolutes.
Maybe then it will just be a transfer order from the combat headquarters, and Thain will have to go to other more dangerous war positions?
Ever since he signed the combat contract, Thane has been tied to the chariot of the Knights Hall of Steel Wall Fist.
In order to obtain the final victory, Thane does not mind being a screw and exerting his value on the battlefield.
"Kelman's mission is to patrol Area 2 west of the base, which is the closest to the base and is a relatively safe area."
"It just so happens that your two missions are not far apart, so you can take care of each other."
"Ulysses, Niyu Lion King and I will go to the northern battlefield of the fortress base. When the war starts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other in a short time." Jerami flew to Thain and said.
They came to participate in the plane war, not to travel.
In terms of danger, Ulysses, Jerami, and the Inverse Feather Lion King have much higher missions than Thane.
According to the combat deployment, they should be the second or third batch of knight troops rushing into the center of the battlefield.
"I still have some magic potions and one-time alchemy props there. Before the war starts, you should come and see me." Thain said to Jeremy.
Because Thain's strength has surpassed Jeremy's, Jeremy is still a little uncomfortable facing this family's younger generation.
However, after hearing Thain's statement, Jeremy finally nodded and replied: "Okay."
