Chapter 712: Chapter 479: The Disappearance of Lord White
“The Magic Tower’s light is gone?”
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face.
The more he understood about this world, the clearer it became.
A Magic Tower was where magicians lodged.
This special kind of construction mainly served to supply magical energy, typically situated at the center of a Magic Barrier and fairly common.
Furthermore, the tower contained numerous functional Magic Arrays like ones that could maximize magic output and accelerate magic recovery and so on.
The difference between a Magic Barrier and a Magic Array was quite simple.
A Magic Barrier was also known as a composite Magic Array.
It was an assembly of multiple or even hundreds of different types of Magic Arrays, connected in a special way.
Of course, although it sounds simple, each Magic Barrier was a precise piece of magical machinery.
Not only did its construction consume a lot of time and effort, but the tuning before being officially activated, and the maintenance after operation, all required a lot of work.
In addition, the Magic Tower was divided into Light Towers and Dark Towers.
As the name implies, a Light Tower was able to instill fear into opponents under everyone’s scrutiny.
The Dark Tower, on the other hand, was hidden away. It functioned much like an inconspicuous detection type Magic Barrier, and the enemy would only realize that something was wrong after stumbling onto it.
“Based on what Joshua said, this castle in the middle of the fortress originally had a high-efficiency Detection Barrier covering it, with the control center clearly being a Light Tower,” thought Leo.
With that in mind, following Joshua’s gaze, Leo Ray looked up.
At the top of the whole castle, there was indeed a sharp square tower engraved with magic patterns.
Currently, this Magic Tower seemed dim and lacked any sense of a magician’s aura, indicating that no one was in there.
“The Magic Tower is key to the castle’s detection type Barrier, why withdraw the magicians and halt the operation of the whole Barrier?”
On the other side, Burt’s face grew more solemn as he asked August Montgomery in a low voice.
“What the Giant Axe General does not know is according to the information I’ve obtained, the Saint Night Army’s newly joined elite spies are extraordinarily skilled in hiding and assassination techniques. It’s almost impossible for the castle to stop their progress with its current detection barrier.”
August Montgomery slightly bowed to Burt and responded, “That being said, after discussing it with the many mage strategists in the fortress, we decided to enhance the detection strength of the current barrier. It should be completed by tomorrow.”
With a mild smile, August added, “Of course, since General White’s retreat location is extremely concealed and no one else knows about it apart from me, it won’t be affected by the halting of the Barrier.”
With that, Burt and Joshua exchanged glances and stopped talking.
If the current Detection Barrier is no longer effective against the enemy.
Then, if it were them, they naturally would make the same choice.
“If the two Generals have no other questions, please follow me to rest.”
Seeing the situation calming down again, August continued to maintain a smile on his face, gestured the Coldflame Soldiers to open the castle gate, and bowed to Ariel Watson, “Your Highness, please.”
“Thank you for going through the trouble.” Ariel responded lightly after nodding her head.
Following Ariel, as they walked into the interior of the castle, Leo Ray heard the heavy friction sound that the gigantic castle metal gate made when it opened.
Compared to the strict defenses on the outer periphery of the castle, the inside of the castle was clearly much quieter, and there were almost no guards to be seen, only unarmed servants.
In this way, proceeding along the quaint and spacious corridor.
After not much elapsed time, August stopped in front of a large reception room.
He welcomed Ariel and her group and his own group into the room, then he began to speak, “Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. I’m going to fetch the documents related to the current war situation. We’ll have a report later.” Get full chapters from nοvelfire.net
After he finished speaking, August left a group of soldiers to guard at the entrance of the hall, quietly closed the door, and left after concluding with a bow.
After August departed, Leo Ray discreetly ordered Taylor and Red Night, who were hiding beneath their cloaks, to check the room carefully. After determining that nothing was suspicious, he gestured for Taylor to reveal himself and use his aura to completely isolate the hall from the outside.
Now, although they were in the room, they could still sense the outside situation normally, but the outside couldn’t detect their voices at all.
Plus, the soldiers guarding the door were only at a Second Tier level, naturally, they wouldn’t be able to discover anything unusual.
“Aren’t you being too cautious? This is my Coldflame’s territory.”
Seeing this, Ariel, who had just taken a seat, blurted out her thoughts after she slightly knitted her brow.
“My dear Fifth Princess, haven’t you noticed something strange?”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray began to make tea with his own set of tea utensils and flask on hand while Scarlett heated them, not seeming bothered by her comment.
