Overturned Tower

"However, although I can fight against a single angel..."

Malt Wine warned the other mages: "But even if it is any upper angel above the fourth level, paired with three to four lower angels, it will be very difficult for me to defeat. There is a high probability that I will lose."

"Even the first-level 'healers' have the same healing power as the sixth-level psykers. Being classified as the first three levels of angels does not mean that they are absolutely weak...just because they are They lack combat effectiveness, or must rely on others. Angels at levels four to six are individuals with strong combat effectiveness.

“If the angels above and below come together, they will not be a drag but become a troublesome reinforcement.

"My mentor told me that even the weakest upper angel 'sacrifice', if paired with two to three healers and a guardian to form a sacrifice array, can even fight against two or three times the number of elite mages. .

"The most troublesome thing about angels is that upper-level angels above the fourth level can 'divide' lower-level angels. This is the difference between upper-level angels and lower-level angels.

"'Enfessing' is a large-scale halo that can temporarily upgrade or demote lower-level angels. Angels at the sixth level can convert angels from the first to the fourth levels; angels at the fifth level can transfer from the first to the third level. For level conversion, the fourth level is from the first to the second level. Although the 'adaptability' will decrease after forcibly converting the holy name, it can still be used even if it is lowered. In this way, every upper-level angel can use The accompanying lower angels adjusted to a state that suited them.

"And the most important thing is that the most hateful 'healer' is the lowest first level. This means that any upper-level angel can temporarily adjust the lower-level angels to be healers... The holy order of healing ability, even if it is not strong enough, It doesn't matter, as long as the number is replenished, it's the same. If they can't be killed at one time, the angels will be able to return to full health soon as long as they leave the battlefield.

"So, if you see an angel - remember, you must give priority to killing the upper angels. Even if they are protected by lower angels, they must give priority to killing the upper angels."

The mages nodded seriously.

Although they all know about the existence of angels, this is also the first time they know how angels fight.

Although they all have their own mentors...

However, if you want to know this fighting method, you must first face the angel's changing formations and still survive.

Their mentors obviously didn't have that kind of strength... They were probably hiding in the mage towers on the ground, avoiding the angels' strategic bombings.

Those who are stronger will definitely be stationed on the floating tower. Those were the first batch of mages who were caught off guard and attacked by the Angel Legion... Only the strongest ones could possibly escape back to their stronghold on land.

“In other words, if the number of angels exceeds double digits, they can make adjustments and improvise a battlefield plan with different upper-level angels as the core.

"...Then this is really difficult."

Strangler's voice was low: "This means that if there are enough angels, we will never be able to restrain them."

"That's why the mentors were defeated."

Ale shook his head: "That's a living war machine."

"Fortunately, we have obtained a batch of treatment chips. With them... we can at least start a war of attrition with the angels. Instead of being easily consumed to death by six or seven angels.

"According to the barber, as long as we can hold on, the people will become war-weary. The corporations will also clamp down on the church... Time is on our side."

Unlike mages who grow wildly, "Angels" were designed for legion combat from the beginning.

As long as multiple angels gather together, their combat effectiveness will more than double.

But when mages and mages gather together, their abilities are either repetitive or have no synergy, and they may even interfere with each other...

This is the fundamental reason why Barber believes that the Lower City cannot fight against the Angel Legion.

"...Barber, you have a good brain. Tell me, is there such a possibility..."

Maze touched his smooth chin and asked the barber: "Are these treatment chips given to us intentionally by the company?

"There are many mages at the top of the company. They have experienced that war and know that the most terrifying thing about angels is the war of attrition.

"So these chips were not actually looted by us, but they were given to us deliberately... with the purpose of letting us hold back the church."

The barber almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

I see……

——This is the "third floor" that the company is waiting for.

This batch of chips is of high value and practical and is distributed for use against the Angels. This is the first level.

Some people realized that the chip came too easily and wondered if it was some kind of conspiracy. This is the second level.

Then when someone realized that the company knew that the core tactic of the angels was a war of attrition, and they needed mages to balance the church, so they deliberately issued chips to them, this was the third level.

Then came Kamalser's fourth level plan: There was some manipulation inside this chip, and its fundamental purpose was to exterminate the active forces in the lower city and force Tovatus to stop fighting against the inferior.

Not even Tovatus himself knew about it.

If there hadn't been a barber, the meetings would have gone up one level after another according to his ideas.

Just wait for a wise man to jump out and tell you the third-level idea, and Kamalse's conspiracy will be successful.

As a result, Camarse didn't expect it at all. The appearance of the "Barber" disrupted all his plans, and the direction of the meeting had completely shifted towards "how to fight the angels."

At this time, "Maze" still went in a circle and threw out the third level of arguments.

This is really too abrupt.

——This "maze" is either a real piece of wisdom, or it's a nail hammered in by Kamalse!

And it’s still not a very smart nail.

Malt Liquor's eyes moved just now... The barber believed that she was also aware of the suspicion.

With the support of the ale, the barber continued directly according to his words: "But what I just said is very clear.

"Since the board of directors has entrusted Tovatus to let us fall into the trap of 'fighting the church'... it means that the value of the lower city has almost been exhausted. Will they still be ready for us when we see through it? Is it a prop specially used to fight against angels in case of their conspiracy?

"The company is already murderous, and it's only a matter of time before they take action. Why would they choose to fund their enemies at this time?

"Or... do you think that the board of directors realized that this plan might fail from the very beginning, so they prepared backup plans?"

The barber's last words were simply heartbreaking.

His words clearly stated, "Do you think I am a spy who broke into the company?" He gained everyone's trust by solving the conspiracy brought by the discordant?

...although the truth is indeed this.

But it sounds so stupid.

Because without the barber, Xiacheng District would have been wiped out.

There is no need for the Council to go around in a big circle and risk adding more for no reason to achieve the same goal.

As Tovatus puts it, a company's core need is "efficiency."

"Maze" guessed what the barber meant, but of course he didn't dare to admit it.

He waved his hands repeatedly and smiled bitterly: "How could it be possible? I even said, 'Is there such a possibility?'... Now it seems that I may have guessed wrong. Then just pretend that I didn't say anything."

And the moment Maze said these words.

The barber was immediately sure that Maze must be a spy for the board of directors!

Because Maze sees things from the wrong perspective.

If he is just a smart person who occasionally thinks of this, when Russell jumps out to question...then instead of saying "just in case, just destroy the chips", at least he has to continue to speculate "then these chips will It won’t be a positioning to be used to destroy us later.”

But he said nothing.

I would rather let myself be suspected by other mages than continue to analyze and reveal some key information.

This is already very obvious.

The barber thought for a moment.

The spies that Tianen Group broke in... should they stay or not?

He quickly determined the only and inevitable answer.

--Do not stay.

It's enough for me.

So the barber spoke directly, blocking the other party's detour: "But after thinking about it, what Brother Maze said is possible. It's just that he may have guessed wrong about the angle...

"What if these chips were indeed given to us intentionally by the company, but they have been tampered with by the company, and will be located by the company's network as long as they are used?

"In this case, these chips can not only help us fight against the angels, but also come in handy and help the company when the company destroys us later."

"—The barber is right."

The first one to respond was not Strangle but Malt Liquor.

She replied simply: "Just in case, we'd better destroy this batch of chips."

The person who had previously suggested that "Angels are best at attrition warfare, so we need treatment methods" was the first to suggest that "we might as well destroy these chips."

The signal is very clear.

The people present may not be very smart, but they are certainly not stupid.

Including the fully cooked ones...all the mages present cast meaningful glances at the "maze".

Maze's eyes were covered with black cloth and his specific expression could not be seen, but he suddenly fell silent.

Maybe he was silent out of caution, maybe he didn't know what to say... maybe he knew it would be useless to say anything else.

Although there is no evidence and no certainty...or rather, others are unwilling to reveal the secret first before the Barber, the Discordant, or the Malt Liquor speak.

But the moment he jumped out to talk to the barber... his disguise was easily broken down by the other party.

At this moment, Maze has permanently lost the trust of others. He will always be isolated from other mages... If he doesn't leave the lower city, he may die on the streets one day.
