Archmage Of The Undead

"Teacher, when will you be able to build a mage tower?" Huo Ling felt relieved after hearing this.

"Me? I sold all the flesh and bones of your teacher, and I can't even get enough money for the first floor of the mage tower."

He Wenhan's smile faltered, revealing an expression familiar to a poor man.

"Mage Tower... Sigh, it's hard to say whether I can do it in my life." He Wenhan sighed and shook his head helplessly.

The mage tower is the most important thing for a mage.

Building a mage tower costs a lot of money, and it also has strict requirements on the spells and runes mastered by the mage. If the spells, magic circles, and runes mastered are too few, it will not be built even if you have money.

Of course, more mages can't save enough money to build a mage tower. When they are in the mage sanctuary, they can start preparing to build a mage tower.

But the various magic materials required by the mage tower are like a huge mountain, weighing down all the mages unable to lift their backs.

Many holy mages have spent most of their lives working for others to make money, just to build the mage tower.

The mage tower has many functions. The mage tower has extremely high combat effectiveness. The tower can engrave a large number of defensive spells and provide a spell shield of sufficient strength.

At the same time, the mage tower also has a unique role in offense. A large number of attack spells are carved, and these spells can be activated only by the tower owner providing mental guidance.

Not only that, mage towers generally have the ability to communicate with the elemental plane or the void. These places have violent and huge amounts of energy.

Through the unique magic circle, the mage tower can accumulate and store this energy, and screen and classify it for energy supply of the mage tower.

It can be said that a mage has no shortage of magic power in his mage tower. He can be directly connected to the energy pool of the mage tower.

Various spells that cost a lot of money can be thrown out for free like drinking water, and the mage tower also has various amplifications for these spells.

Increase strength, range, reduce release time, and more.

It can be said that a mage with a mage tower and a mage without a mage tower are two completely different combat units.

Of course, the role of the mage tower is not only reflected in combat, but also greatly helps in spell research and mage meditation.

The mage tower can also help the mage study and master various secondary rules and underlying rules.

"Don't talk about these useless things. Don't stay too far away from me in the next battle. Try to stay in the central tower of the fortress." He Wenhan said sternly.

"Yes! Teacher." Huo Ling nodded.

"The war is fierce and dangerous. Even if we are inside the fortress, we are not necessarily safe. There are still too many jackals. Even if the Sanctuary Legend does not take action, relying on the numerical advantage, it is possible to break through this place."

"Let's do our best to kill more enemies." He Wenhan ordered.

"Yes! Teacher, I understand."

"Take this." He Wenhan handed over a scroll.

"Teacher, what is this?" Huo Ling asked doubtfully after taking it.

"This is a random teleportation scroll. If the enemy breaks through this place and nothing can be done, you just tear it apart and activate it. It can help you escape from this place and randomly teleport to a place within a radius of about a hundred kilometers."

"When the time comes, just find a place to hang out. After all, living is the most important thing." He Wenhan explained patiently.

"Teacher, you gave me this thing, what do you do with yourself?" Huo Ling looked at the teacher and felt warm in his heart.

"Silly boy, I have one too." He Wenhan smiled slightly, patted Huo Ling on the shoulder, and took out another teleportation scroll.

The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, but no one mentioned the other people stationed on the fortress wall.

The teleportation scroll is a life-saving tool, not to mention the price, it must be very expensive.

And there aren't too many of these things. Huo Ling already thinks it's great if the teacher can get one for himself.

Huo Ling would not be stupid enough to ask why not give some to others. This was unrealistic.

When the fortress is breached, the local garrison and those apprentice-level warriors will basically not have a second way out, and they will probably all be killed long ago.

As for those silver-level warriors who are not related to Master and Disciple Huo Ling, it will depend on their luck if the city is defeated.

…

The smell of war is constantly approaching, but Fort Kangchuan still maintains a rare silence. It has been half a month, and no jackals have come to attack.

Huo Ling stayed in the central tower every day, meditating and practicing here, and sometimes assisting the teacher in experiments.

Every day, the latest battle status would be transmitted through the communication array, allowing Master and Disciple Huo Ling to keep abreast of the current situation of the war.

The Gnoll army that attacked this time was composed of a coalition of three great nobles in the Gnoll Empire. They cleared the disputed area between New South City and the Gnoll Kingdom along the way.

This area was originally intentionally left by New South City, and was home to a large number of alien tribes from the spirit world. At this moment, all these tribes were cleared, and all those who dared to resist were killed.

Their assets were confiscated, their strong tribesmen were turned into cannon fodder, and their women and children were transported back to the country to serve as slaves.

The jackal army launched an attack on a fortress on the front line of New Nancheng, but it was only a superficial attack and no full-scale attack was launched.

On the front line against the Jackals, New South City has built a total of three medium-sized fortresses. These three fortresses are not only larger in size and stronger in defense, but also have more soldiers and professionals stationed there.

The chief officers of the garrison are all professionals above the holy realm. The fortresses are the real anchors on the front line of New South City. If these three fortresses are not pulled out, the jackal army will not be able to attack New South City.

However, although the jackal army was blocked by the fortress, they still divided their forces and sent small groups of elite forces deep into the hinterland.

During this period, many plantations and monster breeding farms behind the fortress suffered greatly. The defense strength of these places was not as good as before after the recruitment of New South City.

Although all valuable things had been taken away by their boss when the war came, there were still a lot of good things left in place.

Such as potions that have not yet reached the harvesting stage and low-level monsters, it is not cost-effective to take these things away. New South City cannot put them down and does not have enough manpower to do them.

Now that everything has been destroyed, the jackal raiding team will not save money for humans. They will take away everything they can and destroy everything they can't take away.

Some of the employees who stayed behind in the plantations and Warcraft farms were brutally killed except for those who escaped cleverly.

For a time, the hinterland of New Nancheng was full of smoke, which caused huge economic losses to New Nancheng.

Even if they defeat the Jackals in the end, these economic losses will make many bosses bankrupt. You must know that many plantation owners and farm owners used loans to finance their business. This time, they were all ruined by the Jackals.
