Chapter 426 - War(7) : Might Of The Mage Tower
Medivh gained a lot from his trip to Draconia, his training with the dragons broadened his horizons about mana in general. The correct way to chant a spell , the correct way to cast , he learnt everything from the dragons , and had a massive improvement.
However , none of that compared to the job Rudra entrusted him . Medivh always knew he was a valued member of the Elites. Just like Rhino was the leader of tanks , he was the leader of mages .
Ofcourse it was a prestigious position and most of the guild members looked upto him , but he was not elder level inside the guild. His reliance was always limited. Hence when Rudra approached him with such a herculean task that was the core of the power of the Elites for many years to come , Medivh was naturally taken aback.
As a mana knight Rudra could have imprinted on the mage tower and bound it to himself if he wanted , but Rudra knew in his heart that a mage tower was meant to be operated by mages and only a true mage could bring out the true potential behind the tower and it's boundless might.
Considering that , Rudra chose the best mage from the guild to do this task. Allowing Medivh to become the sole owner of the mage tower.
This was the biggest opportunity of Medivh's career , as the moment he understood the powers that came with being a master of the mage tower , he understood that bar special players like Rudra and Karna , he would be god on any battlefield.
This was PVE done right , it was maximum area damage. Regretfully he was only a tier 2 mage , should he have been a tier 3 mage , alongside this tower , he would have been completely unstoppable.
However that was not applicable in this situation , as even though he was a tier 2 mage , at this moment , facing hordes of tier 2 enemies charging at the gates of the Elites . He knew that he was still god .
While Rudra and the others were busy holding the enemies outside the gate , a massive change started to occur inside Purplehaze city. Lightning clouds started to form at a rate visible to the naked eye , as the entire city was slowly covered by pitch black clouds.
The fact that the city was under complete lockdown made the Atmosphere very eerie , as the crackle of thunder would resonate with every part of the streets of Purplehaze.
In the centre of the True Elites guild hall , massive layer of Earth and dust started to fall , as the concealed mage tower started to come into view.
Magic runes glittering all over its surface , blue light shining between it's circuit panels and black thunder crackling at its top . At its very peak was a massive transparent crystal cut in a symettrical diamond shape . The mage tower looked like a structure straight out of the myths.
Medivh who was standing atop the mage tower , took his seat as the mage incharge , and immediately felt boundless mana coursing through his veins.
His hair stood up and started to float as if he was in zero gravity , and a black aura concealed him , as his eyes looked completely white , without any eyeball inside.
Medivh was in control now , he could focus directly into the battlefield from his position , as he was about 60 storey high , and had supreme vision thanx to the mage tower.
The mage towers main function was to supplement the strength of a Archmage , as to supply them with amazing pure quality mana and give them a bit of defense from rushing attackers .
The basic attack functions that were loaded inside the mage tower , were too weak to be considered as proper attacks for a Archmage. However for Medivh who was only a tier 2 mage , these installed attacks were heaven defying.
The mage tower was like a one large giant machine for Medivh which he was operating right now , no different from a archer using a Archballistae . The difference being that the power he could display was incomparable.
Medivh knew the gameplan , he knew that the moment he gained full control of the tower , he was to fire a warning shot to let the leader know that he was ready . Then one minute later he was to start his defimation of enemy forces .
Hence Medivh used the most basic attack logged inside the mage tower , and use a black thunder strike on the centre of enemy lines as a warning shot .
Suddenly pitch black clouds covered the battlefield and a terrifying black thunder pulverized and turned 200 triad soldiers to ashes . It came out of nowhere , nobody could understand who conjoured it ... Nobody had any defence for it.
Rudra who saw the black lighting knew that it was the warning shot fired by Medivh , and after taking a one last good look at the struggling Neatwit behind enemy lines Rudra progressively retreated back towards the walls of Purplehaze city. The real show was about to start now!
Rudra could easily use blink to get back to the walls , or use Furball and mass teleport with the entire group back above the wall , but he chose not to do it. He chose to be on ground zero and contribute in a head to head fight , as he knew that the soldiers on the wall did not need him there.
Rudra was regretful of the fact that Neatwit ran soo deep inside enemy lines , and was visibly under lot of trouble right now , his HP less than 20% while he was still a good 600 meters away from Hao Mi 's position.
Clearly this was an idiotic move on both Rudra and Neatwits part , but he could not cry over spilled condiments now could he . The fool was going to die without exacting his revenge now , if he stayed with Rudra , eventually he would have delivered Hao Mi to him , but NO! , he had to rush on his own.
Rudra decided not to think about it too much , he let it be , otherwise this thing would continue to gnaw at his psyche. He just sighed and swore in his heart that after routing the enemy forces on this battlefield , he would drag Hao Mi through the streets of Purplehaze city again !
Rudra had abandoned any thoughts of loosing this war now , it was all about getting that route. While the triad forces became progressively more and more concerned about what to do next. As no matter how they tried they could not breath the Purplehaze city wall!
Thousands were trying to climb the walls , some even used each other's helps to give a bounce and try to elevate a brother to 40 meters of height , but the moment they were thrown in the air , a merciless spear jab would ensure that they go back down.
This was not the way to attack a fell manned wall , even if someone did land on the wall , they could not fight against an entire legion of well trained Elites and tier 2 city forces. Hence the same outcome of death , death and more death repeated itself for the triad forces.
Observing this war was like a nightmare for Hao Mi who could feel the walls closing down on her. All the debt she had taken , all the promises of rewards she had given , as she considered victory as a given , everything was coming crashing down .
However the thing she feared the most was the media across the world. This defeat would mean that the triads would become a joke in the eyes of the world , SHE would become a joke in the eyes of the world .... She could not let that happen could she? , She could not become a joke ? This should not be happening to her! She was supposed to be a queen , a queen meant to rule ....
Hao Mi ordered a full charge at the Elites , shouting and wailing at her subordinates , at the very least she wanted the six men outside the gates dead ..... That's the least she wanted . Alas , the Elites had not even started their true decimation of her forces yet .... As Medivh was finally ready to let it rain!
