Chapter 1317: Chessboard of Destiny

Three days later

The gunpowder smoke in Rockol City has not completely dissipated.

The entire city is full of ruins, burnt frames with roofs burned through, billowing black smoke and pungent stench.

The wizard tower in the center of the city has also lost its former grandeur and magnificence. It stands there like a half-burned stick, and its appearance looks full of endless misery and sadness.

The wizard tower has been breached.

The sixteen wizards of the Entom family inside have undoubtedly become prisoners of the Crimson Fleet, including thirteen first-level wizards and three second-level wizards.

The reason why they did not use the teleportation array inside the wizard tower to escape was not because they did not want to run, but because the Crimson Fleet used the wizard array to interfere with the surrounding plane teleportation as soon as it arrived in Rockol City.

Therefore, there was no escape, and the remaining wizards of the Entom family in Rockol City became abandoned pawns. After the wizard tower was breached, they raised their hands and surrendered obediently.

According to the war rules of the wizard world, no party in the war is allowed to kill wizard captives who have given up resistance. Otherwise, they will be spurned and resisted by all wizards!

No wizard does not cherish his life

Although these wizards have signed a service contract with the Entom family, they need to exchange corresponding resources or status for years of service and loyalty. But this does not mean that they need to pay their lives for the Entom family.

Therefore, at the moment when the wizard tower was breached, their contract mission was completed. The rest is to raise their hands and surrender obediently, and find ways to exchange their freedom with resources or something else.

In the final analysis, if they were really core members of the Entom family, they would not be abandoned under the butcher knife of the Crimson Family at this critical moment.

The Crimson Fleet stayed here for two days and waited for the arrival of the other two squadrons.

Mary and Arms each led two floating giant ships to sweep the other two Entom family territories. From the way they returned, it can be seen that they were in a good mood and had a lot of gains.

War is undoubtedly a means and way to accumulate wealth the fastest!

Although most of the resources were collected by the Entom family and returned to Keslin Castle, the little that was left was enough to make Grimm and his party eat their fill.

After the three crimson fleets merged again, they did not stop and headed straight for Keslin Castle.

This is because the crimson family has a large number of floating giant ships to be so arrogant. If it were another wizard family, the team would be filled with a large number of wizard beast troops, affiliated legions, and noble servant troops used to do some dirty work, and they would not be able to move so recklessly.

These guys can't fly, and their speed of movement is not only slow, but their dependence on logistics and supplies is even more troublesome.

If they were taken out to fight, they could only attack one pass after another steadily. Otherwise, once the supply line was cut off, the wizard beast troops would be better, but the affiliated legions and noble servant troops would definitely collapse.

However, these problems did not exist at all in front of the crimson fleet on a cross-regional expedition.

All the legions, all the troops, all the supplies, and all the resources are stored in the floating giant ship. Only in wartime will these things be fully displayed in front of the enemy. In normal times, they are all hidden.

Without ground troops, there is no need to fight all the way.

After a small test, after flattening the three territories of the Entom family, Grimm received a long-awaited message and ordered the Crimson Fleet to advance towards Keslinburg at high speed without hesitation.

The previous battle of Gravel Canyon can only be said to have lifted the fig leaf of the central part of the continent and exposed the internal contradictions of Sanditallin without any cover.

The new forces headed by Grimm have gathered a powerful force that is enough to subvert the inherent forces in the central part of the continent. And Gravel Canyon is the first stop to unveil the curtain!

However, due to the interference of too many external factors, the battle was dragged out and the victory was unclear. Therefore, the blow to the inherent forces has obviously not reached the point of making them surrender, which makes Sandi Tallin and even the entire central continent face the danger of division.

Once Fried and others are given time and opportunity, they will definitely introduce external forces at the cost of betraying the central part of the continent. At that time, the entire Sandi Tallin will inevitably be in flames and smoke everywhere!

If you don't want to destroy the foundation-building land you have set for the future, you have to fight the battle of Keslin Castle, and it is a battle that must be won!

Grimm's previous advance was so slow that he even had time to sweep the three Entom family territories. It was not that he was not urgent in his heart, nor that the war was not urgent enough, but that the time had not come!

Grimm is waiting

He is waiting for a message from Alice, a message that the time is right!

Life is like a chess piece, and fate is like a chessboard!

He is slowly approaching, forcing the enemy to make some irrational choices.

Once the enemy does this, for Grimm, his advance is no longer about bullying the weak, disrupting the central region, and fighting for territory, but has another more positive meaning.

That is to rectify the chaos and give the central region of the continent a new order to look forward to!

And all this is not done for the world to see, but for fate to see.

At his level, with the assistance of Alice, the leader of the witches of fate, fate is no longer a mysterious and profound thing that cannot be seen or touched. It is a great power that can be touched and can be borrowed from!

Since he was promoted to level 4, everything Grimm did and every action he arranged took full consideration of the overall interests of the wizard community. He even pretended to be a person who took the overall situation into consideration and bore humiliation at the expense of some of the interests of the Crimson Family.

He clearly had the strength of a superpower, but he pretended to be weak in the central part of the continent; he established the Horton School of Witchcraft and Magic, which sacrificed the short-term interests of the Crimson Family to promote the disintegration of the wizard family in the central part of the continent; even the subsequent level 4 confrontation was initiated by the other party, and the Crimson Family was just passively responding to the challenge.

These items, one by one, made Grimm's actions seem passive and cowardly, but they also allowed him to successfully avoid the counterattack of the plane consciousness and position himself on the side of the righteous.

This identity is very important, very important!

The reason why so many wizard geniuses and wizard predecessors are deeply rejected by the wizard world is because they do not know how to restrain themselves and are unscrupulous.

The wizard world breeds so many high-level strongmen, not to let them stir up trouble and cruelly kill in their own world, but to treat them as their high-level slaves and high-level thugs. In this way, once there is an invasion of foreign lands, the wizard world can gather enough strength to drive out the enemy.

The relationship between the wizard world and wizards is like that between a beehive and a bee colony. Only when the bee colony grows and can continuously plunder more resources and population from the outside world, can the bee colony further improve itself.

And the improvement of the beehive can also bring more and more direct benefits and interests to the bee colony, making them fly faster, sharper claws and stronger.

The two complement each other and are a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship!

However, the super-class wizards are still too infringing on the laws of the plane, so the wizard world has to expel the super-class wizards who are beyond the carrying range of the plane. Otherwise, if they are allowed to stir up trouble within the plane, they will sooner or later become a cancer in the development of the plane.

Once such a guy is targeted by the plane consciousness, he will be backfired by the power of destiny sooner or later!

Therefore, Grimm had to be careful and conceal his ambition in various ways.

Although his ambition can be seen by any wizard, this set of methods is useful to the plane consciousness. Because the plane consciousness is an absolute utilitarian who only looks at the results, not the process.

Or to be more precise, the plane consciousness has not evolved to the point of distinguishing the subtle emotions of humans, and can only judge the value of your existence from the impact of your every move on the world. The subtle difference in this also brings Grimm a possibility to act with the power of destiny

For the plane consciousness, it is always fair and just!

These wizards born in the central part of the continent are all its children and its resources. Whether it is Fried and others who represent the inherent forces, or Grimm who represents the emerging forces, they are all members of Sanditalin and part of its complex plane consciousness.

If these two groups fight and conflict, then which group's existence is more beneficial to the wizard world will become the object that the plane consciousness prefers more. The actions of the plane consciousness are completed by manipulating the power of destiny.

Therefore, Alice can completely guess the true intention of the plane consciousness by observing and sensing the flow and change of the power of destiny in the central part of the continent.

Just as the Crimson Fleet was dawdling in attacking Rockor City, revealing the empty rear area, Fried and others who were shocked by the Crimson Will finally made some decisions. Their decisions were unknown to the outside world, but they could not be hidden from the omnipresent plane consciousness.

Therefore, the balance of fate, which has always been fair and impartial, finally tilted!

After receiving Alice's hint, Grimm no longer hesitated and immediately led his troops to attack Keslin Castle. The fierceness and speed of his attack far exceeded the enemy's imagination.

So, on the seventh day after the Crimson Fleet broke into the territory of the Entom family, the floating giant ship finally arrived at Keslin Castle!

This is a war fortress under high alert.

All the withdrawn wizard troops and family wizards gathered outside Keslin Castle, relying on war wizard towers and defensive wizard formations, and they were ready to fight to the end.

The entire Keslin Castle was well defended, and not even a fly could fly in or out easily.
