Chapter 491
In the Hydra, Naeem took a thin piece of paper handed to him by the battle staff officer, glanced at it, and threw it at Thomas Hornby's face.
"You have a total of thirty-seven thousand Mage Corps, twenty thousand Free War Mages. Seven days ago, the battle rate was seventy percent, the battle loss rate was fifty percent, and you were the one who applied to adjust the ratio, correct?"
"After the ratio adjustment, the battle rate of your Corps dropped from seventy percent to forty percent, not increasing but decreasing. The battle loss rate, on the other hand, looked much better, dropping from fifty percent to twenty percent." Naeem invaded the control center of Hornby's Starship and pointed to the resurrection area. "Should I say you're smart or stupid? Hmm? "
Everyone looked at the scene on the screen. In the resurrection area, tens of thousands of Mages were waiting in line to be resurrected. Not only was the resurrection speed far lower than the standard, even the recovery resources that should have been given immediately after resurrection had been reduced by more than half. What was even more strange was that not only were there Free War Mages accompanying the army, there were also many of his own Corps.
"Have you lived for tens of thousands of years on a Crypt Worm? Don't you know that as long as you win the war, the resources you get will far exceed what you pay? Or do you think that the wartime regulations of the Mage World are not effective for you? "
Hornby did not speak. In the face of clear and detailed data, all quibbles were meaningless.
Naeem looked at him with great disappointment. Although he had expected that there would be a few idiots in such an anxious and burdensome war before the start of the war against the cataclysm, he still felt very sad when he saw it for himself.
There was a feeling that the beauty that he had worked so hard to create was being corroded by disgusting worms.
"I just think … nothing will happen … but …"
Naeem sighed and said softly, "Aisha."
Aisha connected to the communication network. "The Night Watcher has arrived at the Dimensional Hub and applied to enter the Hydra."
Thomas Hornby would not die. He was a chicken. He could only warn the restless monkeys if he was alive. What awaited him was endless years of imprisonment in the Third Holy Tower's Mage Prison, which most Mages would never come into contact with in their lifetime.
Hornby's body trembled violently. All of his wishful thinking was shattered at this moment. He knew what his fate would be. His magic power would be destroyed, his soul would be preserved, and he would be cut off from the outside world. He would have to spend the rest of his life alone in an environment even deader than the void. That kind of fate was worse than death.
Therefore, he revealed his trump card and broke free from the shackles on his body. In an instant, he erupted with all his strength. He did not dare to resist, and he knew that resistance was useless. He only wanted to commit suicide.
At this moment, two night watchers wearing black mage robes with hoods entered the room. They chanted at the same time and formed a net around Hornby's body. His desperate magic power melted like snow near fire and scattered in all directions. His body collapsed inch by inch, and his soul was shackled. He didn't even have the strength to resist and could only float in the air in despair.
The two night watchers did not say a word. They bowed slightly to Naeem, and then directly walked out of the room and left the Hydra. From beginning to end, they did not have any communication with the Mages, but they brought about an unparalleled sense of oppression.
After they left, Naeem looked at all the Mages present and solemnly warned, "I know that many of you have done this kind of thing. It's just that Hornby was unfortunate enough to be discovered. Put away your stupid little tricks. This is the frontline, not the World of Mages. This is a joint war, not a solo expedition. You will be given what you deserve, and don't take what you shouldn't take. Otherwise, Hornby's fate will be yours. The Mage Prison has been empty for too long. "
After Naeem finished dealing with Thomas Hornby, he tiredly left the Hydra and returned to the void. The rest of the matter fell on Adam's head.
After the Hornby incident, Adam ordered an investigation of the recent battle rate of all the free Mage Legions. The data obtained was shocking. No one was clean, and some were even worse than Hornby. These data were all recorded and followed up by Adam himself. After the war was over, they would be accounted for. It was fine if they stopped at the brink of the cliff, but if they continued to be stubborn, they would definitely not have a good end.
Adam did not mean to hide what Hornby had done. Thus, the Hornby Legion fell apart. As expected, most of them revealed the idea of joining the Holy Tower, and a small number of them were incorporated by other legions. This matter was very touching for these ordinary official Mages. There was no harm without comparison. After seeing the actions of the Holy Tower in the Hyperdimensional and the treatment of the Holy Tower's war Mages, the gap was self-evident.
It could be imagined that once the war was over, a large number of these Mages would leave their financial groups and join the Holy Tower.
In the following period of time, the war entered a period of calm. Due to the strict military discipline, the Mages' attack efficiency was much higher. The monsters were eliminated in large numbers, and the existence of the barrier took up a lot of their energy. For a while, the Mages were not replenished, so the pressure on the Mages was reduced. The Mages took the opportunity to close the small exits one after another, and put a lot of energy into sealing the big exits and guarding the barrier area.
However, this situation was obviously abnormal. The relaxation in other areas meant that the situation inside the barrier was more critical. No one could guarantee that Amute and Patricio would succeed. Once they failed, the Mages would face the terrifying counterattack and impact of the monsters.
— — —
The solemn calm lasted for a full ten days. On the eleventh day, the barrier was broken. Amute, who was covered in bruises, rushed out with the dying Patricio on his back. The Mages on standby immediately stepped forward to receive them, and Adam teleported in front of them.
Amute said to Adam with difficulty, "There's one more. It's about to take shape. Hurry!" After saying that, he fainted.
Adam waved his hand fiercely, and a hundred high-level Hyperdimensional Mages immediately appeared behind him. The information was instantly sent to their minds. There was no need to say anything more. They led their troops to attack the Demon Suppression Abyss. Reinforcements had not arrived yet. In these thirteen days, no level-nine monsters could appear in the void outside.
A portal opened beside him. Adam lifted Amute and Patricio, and his spiritual tentacles penetrated into their bodies to sense quickly. He found that their internal energy circulation was close to collapse, and their souls were full of holes. They were only able to survive until now because of their life level. Adam sent them to Nehem, where they would receive emergency treatment. After they were stable, they would be sent back to Xin Yati. They would not be able to fight again for a short time.
