Chapter 1088 The situation suddenly deteriorated
"You mean, Hornheim's army and our squad were attacked?"
As soon as Sevi woke up late to deal with the war, he got a bad news from Fitt: "What the hell is going on?"
"The army on the Mages Association suffered a loss that was enough to be called a heavy blow. Our team was slightly better because of the composition of the team..."
The ghost girl Fetter paused for a moment and then explained: "But according to the prediction model established by the Three Sages, if we continue to let students take action outside, the casualty rate will probably increase."
After saying that, she also projected a briefing to Sivy.
Sivi didn't say much and read the brief carefully.
Perhaps considering the cost of war, Hornheim sent magicians with relatively low ranks. At the same time, in order to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness, they basically acted collectively in units of five to twenty people, but they seemed to be unable to escape after being attacked, and there were almost no survivors.
On the contrary, because the students themselves lack sufficient combat power, in order to ensure sufficient combat power when facing the enemy, each student equipped several or even dozens of golems according to their own abilities, and acted in five-person groups, that is, the number of units of a single group was close to or even more than fifty. In addition, various life-saving magic weapons sold in a systematic store, as in Hornheim, the students were attacked by unknown people, by using golems as cannon fodder, greatly improving their chances of survival.
As a result, there were more survivors on Adrick's side.
But that's all. In the half month after the war began, Adrick Academy had lost more than a dozen students who had formed sufficient combat effectiveness through study. For Adrick, each of these second-year students who had experienced many battlefields was a precious asset.
It is precisely because of this that after surviving students realized that the situation seemed to be out of control, Fitt directly sorted out the information he had just obtained and submitted it to Siwei.
"What do you say over Hornheim now?"
After reading the briefing, Sivi deleted it casually and asked the ghost girl.
"The extremes think it's our side... it's mainly because you are making small moves, deliberately cutting off communications and massacre Hornheim's army. Because of the extremes' propaganda, Hornheim's current public opinion trend has changed. Many high-level mages petitioned the mage council, hoping to have a real decisive battle with us, rather than a small fight like before."
"Yu Mei, if I really want to do it, I don't need to do this."
Sivi muttered unhappily.
"Sadly, they don't think so."
"Ignorance is not the foolish one's exemption." Sivey came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the room and looked outside through one-way transparent glass: "If those guys really want to fight, I can only modify the plan a little and erase Hornheim from the map."
Although this behavior that was almost the war of extinction was not what Sivi wanted to do, an inexplicable sense of crisis was always eroding his heart and making him feel a little restless.
That is the effect of the mage alarm. As one of the few "predictive" abilities in Xiwei, the mage alarm has almost never had any false alarms.
But the problem is: Even the Third Ancestor Ozachi who was able to destroy the world did not make him so sleepy and eat.
Because of this, even if modifying one's own plan may further deteriorate the political situation in the eastern plain, it is better than the two sides' stalemate and fall into a quagmire. From the history of the earth, we can see that this accumulated hatred and dissatisfaction is not something that time can eliminate. The only result of the stalemate is that both sides' hatred for each other further deepens, and in the end it cannot be erased like a maggot in the bones.
Instead of what happens in the end, it is better to do it yourself and integrate the eastern plains through reform through force. Although there will definitely be pain caused by reform, long pain is worse than short pain after all.
"Thankfully...I mean, for them, thankfully, Mr. Sharman was not incited by the rising enthusiasm for war, he did nothing and seemed to be waiting for your explanation."
The ghost girl continued.
"Should it be said that he is worthy of being that old man..." Xiwei sighed.
He could imagine how much pressure the old man was under while he was still holding his troops, and he also admired that the old man could easily find the best response in such a mess.
That's right, the best one.
Whether it is a move to make war preparations in accordance with public opinion or open-mindedness and not wanting to trigger a war, it will not work well under the current situation.
The former is easily entangled by public opinion. Even if the superiors are not ready for real war, they will have to fire the first shot; the latter is easily aroused conflicts between the management and the lower class and are more likely to be exploited by those who are interested.
No matter which one it is, the final situation will definitely get worse.
On the contrary, it is best to keep your troops and do nothing.
Although some people will definitely point out the passive and slacking off behavior of the Magister Council, as an authoritative Magister Council, no decision was made, all the guys who wanted to set the rhythm could easily cause trouble. After all, once they continued to fan the flames, they were suspected of being interfering. Without the authority being shaken, the general trend was still on the Magister Council. The association wanted to pinch those guys flat or round them, and they could do whatever they wanted...
"Since that old gentleman has given us a step, let's go down the slope. In short, I'll find a meeting gift first..." Xiwei thought for a moment, but finally gave up the idea of unification of force: "Can we find where the sneak attacker is?"
"I'm sorry, even if the second school district is launched as a relay point to expand the scope of reconnaissance, the current reconnaissance ability of the academy is still not as powerful as that." The ghost girl shook her head: "But if it is a 'probable area', I can still circle it."
"Yeah?"
"The opponent's attack has certain rules, but because there are too few survivors and many detailed data cannot be collected, the only thing that can be determined for the time being is the other party's route, and then bring it into the estimated victim time..." Fitt projected a map, and there was a circle on the map. By comparing the size of a town below the circle, it was indeed a very large area: "The opponent will probably appear in this area from 2:00 to 5:00 this afternoon."
