Chapter 3001: Royal Archmage

General Henry Clinton, who was stationed in Midgard, did not get the exact news of the Continental Army's division of troops south until the day when the Vaasa Corps captured Greenmouth.
For more than half a month after that, General Clinton was hesitant to kill a "carbine" and retake the Freeport.
However, considering that the Freeport still had the Magni and Hakon regiments garrisoned, coupled with the support of the Continental Army's dwarf allies in the rear, General Clinton hesitated and finally gave up this adventure plan.
It turned out that General Clinton made a wise choice.
Although this did not restore the passive fate of the Feizhen Army on the battlefield of the New World in 1628, it at least saved thousands of Feizhen officers and soldiers from their sacrifices in vain.
...
Freeport and Prince Port have been lost one after another, and Leiden is under siege by the rebels-this series of bad news spread back to Fiji's country, making Lord North and his cabinet anxious like ants on a hot pot, but they are helpless.
The precarious situation of Leiden City does not prompt the gentlemen of the Feizhen Council to put aside their differences and unite to solve the current crisis.
The revised troop surge plan was once again rejected by the opposition in the parliament. Lord North, who was already desperate, had to complain to George III and ask His Majesty to intervene in person.
According to the Feizhen Constitution, the king is the country’s supreme military commander. He has the power to declare war and make peace. However, without the approval of the parliament, the king cannot dispatch troops on a large scale. There are only two freely controlled troops-the royal guard. Army and Royal Mage Corps.
The Royal Guards are the Imperial Forest Army of George III. Of course, they cannot be sent to the New World to fight, so the only option is to send the Royal Mages on the expedition.
Prime Minister North took a lot of words, and finally persuaded George III to nod his head. That afternoon, he summoned the chief royal archmage "Dragon Driver" John Dee.
Master Dee also heard about the wars in the New World colonies. After listening to Lord North's account, he stroked his white beard and meditated for a long time before sighing.
"Your Majesty, Sir, it is the duty of our royal mages to serve the country, but frankly speaking, even if the royal mages go to the city of Leiden to participate in the war, I am afraid it will not be able to reverse the general situation on the battlefield."
"Master, would you be too modest to say that?"
George III frowned and his face was unhappy.
"The Royal Mages have a total of thirty-two quasi-legendary spellcasters, plus you, the legendary archmage, who join forces to cast spells, it should not be difficult to repel the rebels outside Leiden."
"Your Majesty, if there are no legendary casters among the rebels, you are certainly right to say so, but unfortunately this is not true."
Archmage Dee gave a wry smile, and then said:
"As far as I know, the reason why the rebels were able to defeat General Cornwalli's troops in Delin Town also destroyed a legendary colossus, and it was inseparable from the help of a young mage."
"This person's name is Joan Vader, he was born in the Alfheim colony, and he is a fellow of the rebel leader George Vassar. The two have known each other for a long time, and the relationship is not shallow."
"Joann Vader...I am familiar with this young man's name. I heard he is very talented and a genius Arcanist?" George III looked at Lord North.
"I have also read reports about this Dr. Vader in the newspaper. It is said that he is the most outstanding Austrian scholar of this century and is likely to be the youngest recipient of the'Golden Rod Award'." Lord North replied Tao.
"Dr. Vader is not only an academic genius, but also a spell-casting genius. In fact, he is probably the youngest legendary mage in the world of Vares today!" John Dee emphasized.
"So what?" George III smiled disapprovingly. "No matter how outstanding his talent is, he is still just a hairy boy after all. Could his mana and experience surpass an old predecessor like Master Dee?"
Master Dee couldn't help sighing again, a bit of bitterness in his smile.
"Your Majesty, the caster doesn't talk about seniority, and who is stronger and weaker is not determined by age. To be honest, I'm fighting against Dr. Vader and I'm not sure of winning."
"So, what about the other thirty-two royal archmages?" Lord North asked softly, his expression a little unnatural.
It's too ungentleman to bully more and less, even if it's just a private discussion, it makes him feel embarrassed.
"Lord, you may not understand that there are less than a hundred legendary casters in the entire Vales world. This is a small circle. They are all acquaintances. Dispute rules, people who don’t follow rules can’t get along in the circle!"
Master Dee stroked the long beard with a solemn expression.
"The Feizhen Royal Mage Group joined forces to besiege a young man. It doesn't sound good to spread it out. Not only are we embarrassed, but your Majesty will also be dull."
"Even if we go all out and really join forces to deal with Dr. Vader, we have to consider the consequences of breaking the rules."
"Dr. Vader is not a'Lone Ranger'. He is a student of the legendary Lich Professor Moriarty. Franklin and Tennyson, the two prestigious archmages, also appreciate him very much, even Alberton Wayne. Mr. Stein also valued this young man very much, and appointed Dr. Vader as his successor in the academic world."
"In addition, Dr. Vader has a faculty position at Colasburg University. He was also a guest of the Far Eastern Emperor Roland I, the court teacher of Princess Vasilisa, and the founder of the "Ring of Harvest", The legendary Archdruid Ms. Valentina cooperated to study the root cause of the'Holy Flame'. You think he is a bully!"
"If we don’t follow the rules and deceive more and less, even if we force Dr. Vader back temporarily, we will offend many of the big people behind him. People will not be polite to us at that time, and we will have to summon more Fei. A legendary person from a real background, making equal revenge..."
"If this vicious circle continues, the colonial war will evolve into a melee of many legends, and even involve the whole world in a catastrophe!"
"Your Majesty and Sir Alex are familiar with the history of Varese's countries, and you must be very aware of such tragedies in history, so I don't need to say more."
"It is precisely in order to avoid repeating those shocking tragedies in history that our legendary spellcasters will agree on a set of rules of the game, try to avoid interfering in disputes between countries, and if they have to do it, they must also take an upright and fair duel-this is The only way I can intervene in a colonial war."
Finally, Archmage Dee said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Sir, for the sake of safeguarding the long-term interests of our country, I hope you can carefully consider my request."
