Chapter 36 Cunning Methods
Before this high-ranking demon could react, Mao Ge cleaved it in two with a single chop, turning it into countless blue flames.
"It seems to be Tzeentch's doing. The stench of these demons under Tzeentch's command just won't go away."
Li Wei's nose twitched slightly as his psionic energy swept over a patch of remaining blue flames not far away.
This wasn't the first time he'd dealt with the demons under Tzeentch's command.
Especially in the demon factory in Vashtor, after seeing so many demons, he had developed a method for distinguishing them.
Tzeentch always had a foul odor of decaying books mixed with sulfur, which was especially noticeable under psychic perception.
After eliminating the two orc gods from Tzeentch's demon, they continued to fight amongst themselves.
They didn't seem to notice the tiny human in the corner, or perhaps Li Wei was too weak to attract their attention.
Faced with the earth-shattering power of Brother Gao and Brother Mao, Li Wei was on the verge of tears; his plans had fallen through.
He dared not now stand beside these two great figures, repeatedly tearing open the passages of the real universe to find a way to space.
He suspected that if he tested it a few more times, he would be torn to pieces by their unconscious attacks.
The next instant, a violent surge of energy swept in with a fierce collision between the two orc gods, forcing Li Wei to return to the real universe.
As soon as Li Wei's soul returned to his body, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth again.
"It seems that the gods are much more powerful than I imagined."
Li Wei muttered to himself, recalling the thrilling scene that had just unfolded.
Although he avoided most of the shockwaves from the battle between Mao and the other god, some of the aftershocks still reached him, causing damage to his soul.
But Li Wei also sensed the special and obscure rhythm of divine power above spiritual energy, and the Abyss Resonance Technique deep within his soul emitted an unprecedented tremor.
He had a deep-seated feeling that the opportunity to break through to become a formal wizard might lie with the orcs.
After catching his breath, Li Wei was about to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth when a heated argument broke out outside the door.
"Make way! Why isn't the Chief Archmage coming out yet? The troops are already assembled. Every minute later, the Archmage will be in greater danger!"
Ahriman's voice was unusually hurried.
"No! The Chief said that no one can be let in, including you!" Kayan's voice trembled, but he did not back down.
"Alright, Kayan, it's all right now!"
Li Wei spoke in a deep voice, stopping the two from their pointless argument.
Squeak!
Ahriman pushed open the door to the operations room and strode in. Seeing that Li Wei was pale and had a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, he asked with concern:
"Chief, what's wrong! Is there an enemy?"
Before he finished speaking, Aliman's expression hardened, and his spiritual energy instantly tightened.
"It's alright!" Li Wei waved his hand. "Don't go to Mine No. 9. It's most likely a trap."
"This..." Ariman paused, his eyes flickering as he considered whether what Li Wei said was true, then shook his head. "We cannot stand idly by without seeing that the Archmage is safe."
Li Weigang wanted to explain, but then he thought that with Tzeentch's endless tricks, what happened in the warp just now might also be a conspiracy by Tzeentch.
He paused for a moment, considering whether to send the First Academy's Thousand Warriors to investigate as usual.
The next second, Li Wei no longer needed to think.
He sensed a surge of energy that seemed to permeate the heavens and earth, which was clearly discernible even within the dense, impenetrable psychic field of WAAAGH.
That was Magnus's psionic energy fluctuation. Judging from the direction in which the energy fell, it landed exactly on the map of Mine No. 9.
Whoohoo!
Livy's wrist communicator suddenly rang, and Magnus's waiter Amon's anxious voice came through instantly.
"Chief! Company Commander Ahriman! Why couldn't we get through to you earlier? The Archmage received your distress call from being trapped in Mine No. 9, and he rushed down alone as a beam of psionic energy to rescue you!"
Li Wei froze instantly, his expression complex. He had truly underestimated Jianqi.
In the past, netizens said that Tzeentch's scheming was comparable to the Emperor's emotional intelligence, but in reality, no one can match the depth of Tzeentch's calculations.
He actually resorted to the simplest yet most deadly scheme.
He forged two distress communications.
A copy was sent to Levi, saying that Magnus was trapped in Mine No. 9.
Another copy was sent to Magnus, saying that Levi was trapped in Mine No. 9.
He also blocked all long-distance communication, preventing Levi and Magnus from confirming each other's identities, forcing them to go to Mine No. 9.
"Ariman, let's go." Levi's voice was as cold as ice. He grabbed the Abyss Battle Axe leaning against the table and strode out.
"All members of the First Society, assemble! Aboard the Stormhawk transports, heading straight for Mine Nine! Full speed ahead!"
Ahriman immediately issued orders through tactical communications, and the thousand Thousand Sons soldiers who were waiting outside the command post instantly sprang into action.
With explosive guns in their left hands and enchanted psionic staffs in their right, they moved in perfect unison, running quickly toward the landing yard behind the command post.
The warriors entered the Stormhawk's hatch with steady, orderly steps.
Li Wei boarded the lead Stormhawk, followed closely by Ahriman, and Kayan gritted his teeth and gripped his explosive pistol as well.
Rumble!
The Storm Hawk formation took off, breaking through the gray-brown sky filled with the smoke of gunpowder.
Looking down through the porthole, Li Wei saw the entire land covered by a green tide.
Countless orcs roared as they charged toward the Thousand Sons' defenses, the flashes of explosive bombs and psionic flames rising and falling across the wasteland like twinkling stars.
"It doesn't seem that simple."
Li Wei gazed at the chaotic battlefield, shook his head, and said with a solemn expression.
"My Lord, trust in the Archmage. With the Archmage's unparalleled power, he can definitely hold out until our rescue."
Ahriman, standing nearby, offered words of comfort in a deep voice.
"I suspect there's an orc leader in Mine Nine. That lone mage is in real danger!"
Li Wei frowned as he began to recall the previous battlefield situation and consider from which defense zone he could draw troops to join forces with them to attack Mine No. 9.
As for the strategy of sending the entire legion to rescue Magnus, Levi pondered for a moment and then abandoned it.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to do everything in his power to rescue them, but rather that if all his forces were diverted, the original defensive line would collapse instantly.
Otherwise, even if they rescued Magnus, they would be slowly devoured by the gradually closing in orcs, and ultimately be wiped out.
But in the next instant.
Levi and Ahriman's tactical communicators beeped simultaneously, followed by a series of urgent reports.
"Report, Chief! All orcs at the forward positions have suddenly ceased their attack and are retreating at full speed to the southeast!"
"Chief, the same applies to Zone Two."
"The enemy is gathering towards Mine No. 9!"
......
"This is a huge problem!"
As Li Wei listened to the reports coming in one after another through the communicator, his expression grew increasingly solemn.
He also noticed that the orcs who had originally attacked the Thousand Sons Defense Line were now surging southeast like a tide.
The southeast direction is the direction of Mine No. 9, which is also the direction from which Magnus ventured alone.
Li Wei took a deep breath and then shouted into the wrist communicator:
"All Thousand Warriors, charge at full speed towards Mine No. 9! The Archmage is in danger, we must get there as soon as possible."
