Lord Wizard

Chapter 214 Aaron

Aaron traveled straight from the port of Bailie Bay to the Frost Kingdom without ever trying to hide his whereabouts. Perhaps even he himself thought that Lin Meng, a newly promoted wizard, was no match for him.

As for the other great knights besides Lin Meng, he didn't really take them seriously, let alone the ordinary soldiers.

Having mastered defensive level one spells, even with his defense alone, he was not someone those great knights could break through in a short time. In that time, he would have enough time to kill the great knights several times over. This is why formal wizards can roam freely across a continent.

Given enough time, even the strongest Sky Empire on the continent would be brought down by a mere formal wizard like him.

Sunrise Mountain Range.

This is a small mountain range outside the capital of Frost Kingdom. It was not famous before, but after the news of Aaron's challenge to Lin Meng spread, it quickly attracted the attention of dozens of countries on the continent.

Indeed, this is the challenge Aaron chose for himself, where he strategically despises his opponent but tactically respects him.

Years of experience fighting enemies made him extremely cautious even when facing Lin Meng, a newly promoted wizard who had entered the formal wizard realm less than a year ago.

Therefore, upon entering the Frost Kingdom, he took the initiative to contact the remaining forces of the Aden Kingdom.

Furthermore, in order to avoid being besieged by many great knights of the Zichen Kingdom after the battle, and also because they were afraid that Lin Meng would refuse to fight, they specifically chose the Rizhou Mountain Range.

Despite the turbulent weather in the Rizhou Mountains, Lin Meng made no attempt to conceal it.

On the contrary, he also wanted to take this opportunity to demoralize the remnants of the kingdoms of Aden and Frost, and incidentally intimidate the surrounding countries, forcing them to be annexed by the Kingdom of Zichen.

Currently, the Zichen Kingdom occupies two major powers on the Constantine continent: Frost and Aden. In terms of national strength, only the Sky Empire can barely surpass it.

Looking around at the surrounding countries, only the Free Alliance of Siri and the Principality of Kess could be considered somewhat respectable. Some other countries were not even as large as a marquisate or countdom within the Kingdom of Aden, and could be destroyed in an instant if he wanted to.

These small countries usually relied on the two kingdoms of Aden or Frostland for survival.

Now that these two kingdoms have been destroyed, they, as vassal states, are constantly observing the situation. This confrontation between Lin Meng and Aaron is their last chance to make a decision.

If they remain silent after the battle, all that awaits them is the destruction of their country and the loss of their homes.

"Ahead lies Sunrise Peak. This time, not only have the rebellious forces between Aden and Frost gathered here, but many experts from surrounding countries have also been sent here to watch the battle. Even the Sky Empire, far to the south, has sent envoys to neighboring countries to witness this battle that is enough to change the course of the continent."

On the way to Sunrise Peak, Nero told Linmon about the representatives of various forces hidden in the surrounding area.

"Oh, the Sky Empire has sent people too? But defeating just a mere Aaron isn't enough to make them back down. We'll know their attitude after the battle at the Flame Tower!"

Behind the Sky Empire is a force no less powerful than the Light of the Sky and the Tower of Flames.

Moreover, unlike the kingdoms of Aden and Frost, where only one wizard joined, the entire power was established by wizards from the Sky Empire who traveled to the Central Continent, and wizards continued to emerge thereafter.

This is why the Sky Empire became the undisputed overlord of the Constantine continent.

"Director Kailin asked me to remind you that we Blue Flame are currently at war with the Flame Tower, so it's best not to offend the Sky Empire lightly."

Nero said from the side.

The two women knew that Lin Meng planned to unify the entire continent of Constantine, so they expressed their concerns.

"Don't worry, the Sky Empire is quite powerful in the Central Continent, but those who remain on the Constantine Continent are just people with insufficient talent. Perhaps we can find another way to resolve the conflict with them."

Lin Meng laughed, saying that he wasn't someone who remained unchanged; all he wanted was enough territory.

Once he successfully crystallizes, as long as he doesn't cross the Sky Empire's bottom line, they will know what to do.

"It's good that you know what's going on!"

Ultimately, he is just a small team leader, while Lin Meng is a company director with a higher status than Kailin. If the two didn't have a good relationship, he wouldn't even have the right to say such things, so naturally he wouldn't try to dissuade him.

Soon the caravan reached the summit of Sunrise Peak. Lin Meng slowly stepped down from the carriage and saw that the summit had already been cleared by the people of Aden and Frost, and a high platform had even been built in the very center of the summit.

Standing on the high platform was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a white wizard's robe with the logo of the Rita River sewn on his chest, as well as a badge representing a first-level wizard.

Below the platform, dozens of knights and grand knights representing various factions were scattered about, discussing Lin Meng as he stepped down from the carriage and their assessment of the outcome of the battle.

Lin Meng frowned as he walked up to the platform, observing the chaotic scene. "Everyone, get back to a distance of at least 100 meters from this platform. Anyone who disobeys will die!"

Although the sound was not loud, it was amplified by a special force and reached everyone's ears.

Upon hearing Lin Meng's words, the entire scene paused, as if a pause button had been pressed, and the environment immediately fell silent.

They then realized that neither Lin Meng nor Aaron were the gladiators they were watching in the arena, but rather high-ranking, formal wizards—powerful beings capable of easily killing them.

Some people were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated. As the first person took the lead in retreating, the others instantly followed in his footsteps and quickly left the area around the platform.

Although he had long wanted to expel these people, Aden might still need them to restore its kingdom, so Aaron went along with them. However, when he saw Lin Meng do what he wanted to do but couldn't do as soon as he took the stage, he became even more unhappy and directly questioned him.

"Lord Lin Meng, you have quite the airs. You, a formal wizard, dare to meddle in worldly affairs, causing the slaughter of hundreds of my Aden clan members. Don't you have anything to say about this?"

"Lord Aaron, have you been staying on the banks of the Rita River for too long and gotten confused? Even a formal wizard is just a human being. Do you really think you're a god? The reason for this war is that your Kingdom of Aden invaded my Kingdom of Zichen without cause. I haven't even said anything yet, but you've come to interrogate me. If you want to fight, then fight. Why all this nonsense?"

Lin Meng was somewhat disdainful of Aaron's arrogant attitude. If it weren't for the need to intimidate other countries and reduce his own campaign time, he wouldn't have dragged this battle out for so long. He would have killed Aaron as soon as he entered Frostland.

"Very well, I'd also like to meet you, the genius wizard of the Azure Sky!"
