"It was because humans and other races on the surface joined together — dwarfs, elves and giants — and launched an attack on us Beamon, overthrowing us," Liu Zhenhan said. "Also, I want to add that the Beamon warriors under my command are only under my militia and not part of the regular army."
"Such militia would probably make even your king salivate," Prince Benitez sneered, not doubting his own judgement for a moment.
"You’re right, as evidenced by the number of mages I have," Liu Zhenhan proudly responded. "Mages are rare on the surface. Only human countries have a large number of them. A strong human nation might have about a dozen mages. As a lord, I already have three mages and a magic apprentice."
Daisy, standing nearby, couldn’t help but smirk at Liu’s words.
She knew Liu Zhenhan was trying to reassure them while subtly undermining their confidence. Any court magician employed by the human authorities was undoubtedly powerful and highly regarded.
Could a human kingdom only possess court magicians? This understanding was completely incorrect. Some imperial relatives and tycoons also had their own magic consultants. For instance, the Tornado Mercenary Group initially had their own water element mage.
Daisy felt that once such facts reached Richard’s ears and he conveyed them to the Blood Elves, their entire perspective would change.
"So a powerful human kingdom only has a dozen mages?" Upon hearing these words from the Beamon priest, Prince Moore burst into hearty laughter: "We Blood Elves only have a population of a hundred thousand, yet we have as many as eight hundred mages."
Liu Zhenhan was genuinely shocked, his surprise not feigned; he was truly astounded by the large number.
Such a large number of mages was simply terrifying!
Having heard Prince Moore bragging boastfully, Master Otigha, who was standing aside, snorted disdainfully.
Daisy snuck up to Liu Zhenhan’s ear and whispered something. Liu Zhenhan seemed to understand at this point.
During the chaotic battle in the valley, Liu hadn’t had a chance to confront the Blood Elf mages, so he wasn’t aware that Blood Magic was a type of single soldier magic, not suitable for large-scale warfare.
No wonder Master Otigha was disdained, the Blood Elf mages he had faced only knew a handful of tricks, mainly the "Blood Arrow Technique" and the "Blood Sphere Technique". The advanced Blood Magic was merely a slightly faster "Blood Sphere Technique". No one had seen the "Blood Clotting Technique"that Master Puskas had emphasized. During the magic clash in the valley, the Beamon’s three mages and two magical beasts totally overwhelmed the twenty Blood Elf mages. When the Fairy Dragons went to clean up the mess, they easily dealt with them. If Blood Elf mages were really powerful, they wouldn’t have survived the Fairy Dragon’s "elemental backlash". After all, magic backlash and attack power are directly proportional.
The Saint Chiao mage considered the Moore mage he had faced as a run-of-the-mill Blood Elf, unaware that the mage was a pride of the Blood Elves. This presumptuous behavior left a strong first impression on Liu, he was so startled when he heard the number of mages the other side had. However, this couldn’t fool the Fairy Dragons or professional mages. After fighting these Moore mages, whether it was Daisy, Ruona, or Master Otigha, they all had realized something based on their extensive knowledge of magic.
Magic is always profound. Besides super-level Warcraft, every race has an unwritten rule about elemental attraction — all wisdom races that produce mages or priests related to elemental power follow a conservation principle —they are always rare.
The reason why Blood Magic could produce such an exaggerated number is due to the Blood Elves trading traditional archery for magic to achieve long-range attack power. This can be inferred from the monotonous attack patterns of the Blood Magic — if a human water mage entered the battlefield and only used water arrows to attack the enemy, they would be ridiculed to death, not to mention fire and electric elementals which were more dominating attack magic. After all, magic based on individual attacks is at the apprentice level, like Mexi.
These Blood Magic mages could only be considered slightly faster at restoring magic and have a higher attack frequency than Mexi. Along with their magical shields and auxiliary spells like "Blood Pull", it’s hard to regard them as distinguished mages. They are more like Magic Archers without bows and arrows.
Although the mastery of magic can always lead to formidable power, it’s almost impossible for Blood Elves to reach the peak with the easily accessible Blood Magic. Such mages would certainly be stronger than archers, but it’s difficult to assess by how much. Master Otigha had not yet reached the high-level stage, once he does, he alone could suppress twenty Blood Elf mages with his firepower. Not to mention if he reaches the level of Master Puskas.
