50 All About Blood Moon part 2
“ You should all be aware that in every battle, we must strive to minimize our casualties, The more deaths from our realm, the more fuel it provides for the enemy’s space gate to increase in grade,” the Grand elder explained, his tone grave.
“ If, for example, they were able to kill a hundred Tier 6 mages from our realm without suffering significant losses on their side, it would give them an opportunity to upgrade their gate to a higher Tier,” the Grand Elder continued.
“And that’s precisely what everyone is trying to avoid, Our city cannot withstand an attack from a High Tier gate, as we would be completely wiped out.”
“ Some families would even considered relocating to another city if such happens, Just imagine the chaos that would happen if a few Tier 7 creatures emerged, It would be a disaster, especially since our city only has three publicly known Tier 7 mages,” the Grand Elder added, his voice filled with concern.
The curse placed upon the attack ensured that those above the certain grade of the space gate were unable to directly engage the horde. freeweb novel.com
If they did manage to break the curse, their powers would be severely limited in the fight and they would still face a backlash, For instance, the Patriarch of the Gordon Clan, a Tier 7 mage, was considered a High Tier mage.
And so for that result, he was forbidden from attacking creatures that emerged from a Mid Tier space gate.
If he were to defy this restriction, his powers would be reduced to that of a (Peak) Tier 6 mage, and he would suffer a powerful backlash, for going against the Blood Moon rules.
However, this did not affect the Tier 7 creatures and races from the second dimension, as they can choose to attack any city once they emerged from their space gate.
However, these creatures were not interested in the energy of lower or mid-tier mages.
They only targeted cities with a high concentration of Tier 7 mages, and This was the primary reason why the city where the Gordon family’s space gate was located only had a mid-tier gate.
Thus far, there had been no occurrences of Tier 7 creatures showing interest in attacking them.
The grade of an attack on a city depended on the number of strong individuals present.
Killing or devouring these mages had allowed the creatures from the second dimension to progress by leaps and bounds, so this have been fueling their obsession with eliminating powerful human mages to grow stronger.
Strengthening their space gate is not just the only benefit they get; but if their space gate were upgraded to the perfect level of high tier 9 horde, they could potentially choose to invade the world anytime they want
This was the dream of all the races living in the second Dimension, but only a few gates have been stabilized at the peak, but they only attack during the blood moon for their own reasons.
The cities surrounding these gates have built large defense walls to help defending against them, with the capital alone having five peak gates surrounding it.
Alec’s family had never imagined such events, as at the moment they handle one gate while supporting the city lord guards and it was still with difficulties
“I cannot explain much about the blood moon to you, but I want you to understand that if you ever lose that battle, the creatures will have enough mana to make their space bridge last even after the blood moon,”
“ allowing the Tier 7 warriors from their realm to pass through might even be possible then if they are willing to burn resources,” the Grand elder explained, his voice sending shivers down their spines and motivating all.
“And they would attack the city with their Tier 7 creatures, killing your family and enslaving your daughters for breeding, Our city does not have enough Tier 7 mages yet to repel such an attack, Now, I ask you, do you want that to happen to our city?”
The grand elder questioned fiercely, with a determined expression.
“No, Sir!” everyone responded with unwavering conviction, determined not to allow anyone inside their city.
“That’s good to hear, but I don’t think you should worry too much, The zombie race has been in charge of the space gate near our city, invading us for the past five blood moons, and we have defeated them several times.”
“ We have even managed to lower the gate’s grade to a less dangerous mid-tier gate, ensuring they won’t have enough energy to send many mid-tier creatures over. It was the last two battles that allowed our patriarch to breakthrough and become a Tier 7 mage,”
“ meaning we can still defeat them as long as nothing goes wrong, Our dream is to bring the gate down to the level of a Low Tier horde until we are able to break the space gate.”
“So they won’t even have the courage to show their faces here again. Do you all understand?” the grand elder questioned, his voice filled with determination.
“Yes, Grand elder!!!” they all screamed in response, their blood pumping after that small talk.
The Grand elder looked around, pleased with their enthusiasm.
“Here’s one more piece of information, the Lanzt family heard that we are sending Low Tier Mages and decided to send theirs too,” the Grand elder stated.
“In the hope that we can work together in this war, Alec, do you accept that?” the grand elder finally asked, staring directly into Alec’s eyes, showing that his decision was needed.
“Ugh, my workload just increased, Those loafers just couldn’t resist trying to rub off our light now that they know we are also going to the blood moon,” Arthur complained.
As If Alec agreed, it meant he had to protect the Tier 1 mages of the Lanzt family as well, and he despised them for their bratty attitude and their belief that they were better than everyone else.
So he spoke loudly, hoping Alec would know his opinion on the matter.
“You don’t have to interfere, you dumb head!, That question was for Alec since he is the leader of the Tier 1 mages , especially since we have will listen to his opinion , so Let the general decide,”
Agnes scolded Arthur, furious with his vulgar behaviour, She whispered everything in his ear, making it clear that she was not going to let him tarnish their reputation again after they already arrived late.
“We are no babysitters,” Arthur retorted, ready to continue arguing.
But Alec placed his hand on Arthur’s shoulder, silencing him, The grand elder noticed this small action and took in the details, realizing that Alec was the undisputed leader of their little group.
“I agree with their proposal, but with a little clause, We will hunt separately and only help them if they are in trouble, We don’t want them mixing with us, I am building a special group and I don’t want those arrogant Lanzt spoiling it,”
Alec confidently responded to the Grand elder, his face showing no sign of fear.
“That ain’t no problem at all. We can discuss that with their patriarch immediately, and I’m sure he would also accept it,” the Grand elder said, his tone confident.
“And also, Old Man, I want the Lanzt family to compensate me and my gang every time we help them out, Every time we assist them, they should give us 5% of their gains from the blood moon, Can that be requested for as well?” Alec asked, knowing it was a difficult demand.
The grand elder’s beard twitched in annoyance as he heard Alec’s words.
He had a lot of grievances against his brother’s grandson, First, the boy had dared to call him an “old man,” despite him being just 85 years old and still strong.
If it weren’t for maintaining public image, he would have given Alec a sound spanking with his magic staff.
But what surprised him was Alec’s boldness in requesting a percentage every time he helped out.
The grand elder couldn’t even summon the courage to ask the Lanzt family patriarch via telepathy if he agreed.
Just as he was pondering on how to handle the situation, he felt the breeze in the environment grow chaotic.
In the next moment, the Lanzt patriarch was already on stage with him.
The Lanzt patriarch’s eyes were red as he looked at Alec.
“We accept all your requests,” he announced, while Alec ignored him and kept his gaze fixed on the Grand elder.
Alec didn’t care about the Lanzt patriarch; as he still held a grudge from when the Lanzt patriarch had tried to use his pressure on him.
He had vowed to pay him back in the future if he ever became more powerful than the old man.
