A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

I’m not in charge of vetting newcomers anymore. Of course, I’m not the only one. The Alliance stopped recruiting new mages a month ago.”

Matthew raised his eyebrows.

“Is that true?

‘ Looks like my luck isn’t bad. I managed to join the Alliance before the recruitment stopped.” Fandral smiled.

“You’re different from the others.”

However, he did not elaborate on what was different. Instead, he changed the topic.

In the context of the war, most of the people in the Alliance have been trained to be the adjudicators of the war.

“I heard that a battle would have at least three official mages and even more apprentices. These three mages would be a chief adjudicator and two deputy adjudicators.

“The two deputy adjudicators were responsible for tracking and recording the marching situation of both sides and the details of the battle.

“The most important thing was to confirm whether both sides had strictly adhered to the rules of the secret war order.

“And the main judge had a high degree of freedom to judge the content of the war and even the outcome.

“Of course, most mages would use this power cautiously. “The war itself still depended on the strength of both sides.

“What do you think?”

Hearing this.

Matthew’s pupils constricted slightly.

He realized that Fandral was here to leak the secret!

“What if one of the parties in the battle violates the secret order?”

Matthew asked.

Fandral smiled faintly.

” I don’t know, but rumours say that the Legendary mage will personally take action.”

Matthew was shocked again.

“Are there enough Legendary mages? Do they have that much energy?” he asked.

Fandral shook his head.

” That’s what I can’t know, but the higher-ups are very concerned about the upcoming tide of war. It seems that there have been several fierce quarrels between the Seven Saints, but the final outcome has been decided. All Legendary Mages will work together to ensure that all battles will be carried out under control.

If someone really dares to go against the world’s will, then the Alliance probably wouldn’t mind showing the world the power of a Legendary mage.”

Fandral’s words greatly subverted Matthew’s understanding of the Seven Saint Alliance.

He had thought that the Alliance was a rather loose mage organization and that the secret order of war was more like a guiding framework than a golden rule.

But now, it seemed like the Alliance’s upper echelons were extremely determined to control the war.

If all the Legendary mages in the Alliance could work together, then the direction of the continent might really be within the control of the Alliance.

Fandral continued,

In the south, the battle between Rolling Stone Town and Highleaf Region has been set as the first battle after the secret order of war was issued.

“This battle is the centre of attention. Other than the three adjudicators in charge of this battle, there will also be a large number of mages from the Alliance watching.

“They were required to learn the art of war and the rules of refereeing in this battle.

“In order to deal with the battles that would break out in other places in the future.

“The location of the battle had been decided.

“It’s in the Moss Green Hills.”

Matthew nodded without batting an eyelid.

Was the Alliance planning to use this battle as an example?

As for the location of the battle, Matthew was not surprised.

The Alliance arranged battles to lower the intensity of the battle and reduce casualties.

The largest uninhabited area between Rolling Stone Town and Highleaf Ridge was the Moss Green Hills.

There were only a few active Mad Frogmen there. As long as they moved away a portion of the Mad Frogmen tribe, it would become an excellent battlefield for the class.

The bad news was…

The most elite soldiers in Rolling Stone Town were the cavalrymen of the Lord’s Guards, and the cavalrymen were obviously not as effective in the hills as they were on the plains.

After that, Fandral revealed some more details.

For example, the specific time of the battle was set to be August 2nd.

On August 1st.

The troops of both sides would be inspected by the Deputy Adjudicator and then enter the predetermined positions to prepare for battle.

For example, there were currently two conditions for victory in the battle.

The first was ” occupy points.”

The second was Annihilation.

There was no need to say much about annihilation. Whether it was Rolling Stone Town or Highleaf Hill, as long as the enemy’s army was defeated or the enemy surrendered, it would be counted as victory in this round of battle.

However, it was more interesting to occupy points.

This condition of victory was formulated to prevent one of the parties from circling around the mountains and playing guerrilla warfare.

Take the Moss Hills as an example.

Overwatch Mountain in the south was set as a strategic target.

As long as one side occupied the Overwatch Mountain and held on for more than 15 days, they would automatically win the battle.

From another angle.

It seemed that winning by occupying points could also reduce unnecessary casualties.

It could only be said that the Seven Saint Alliance had gone to great lengths to control the intensity of the war.

Finally.

Fandral sighed,

“Actually, there are many different voices within the Alliance, but the Silver Council has already completed internal coordination.

“Only some details were still being discussed.

“For example, was it reasonable for dragons to only take up one spot on the battle list?

“Most people felt that it was unreasonable.

“Any dragon’s combat strength exceeded 300 to 400 people or even more.

“In small-scale battles, both sides had 1000 people each.

“A dragon could sweep away everything.

“Wasn’t this forcing the various territories to seek the help of the dragons?

“Even if there were no dragons, they still had to seek the highest individual strength possible, especially the kind that could bypass the rules..”
