Lang Pu's Report
Keosius said, "Show me the intelligence you have."
"Yes, Master."
Lang Pu pulled out a stack of documents he had prepared long ago from his pocket.
"As far as we know, this so-called Polar Night Demon Tower has multiple layers of protection and is filled with dragon-like monsters, including humans, Goblin, and centaurs. There is one monster that we need to pay special attention to. The Starfallers call it ' Valena,' and it has the ability to create illusions and the Frost Breath of White Dragon. It seems to be made up of the limbs of various creatures stitched together."
"And at the very top of the tower, they are even imprisoned..."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"A White Dragon with a special bloodline."
Lang Pu cautiously raised his head, secretly observing the Red Dragon's expression. Seeing that his face was normal, he felt relieved and continued his report.
Keosius was already aware of this news; he could see player posts on the forum, and he already had a basic understanding of the situation there.
"Moreover, according to the intelligence of the Starfallers, this ' Dragon Mad Black Wizard ' is proficient in necromancy and spellcasting."
"Its spell list includes the Seventh-Circle Spell [Finger of Death], the Sixth-Circle Spell [Disintegrate Spell], [Eyebite], and [Mark of Fear], the Fifth Circle Spell [Dominate Person] and [Death Cloud Spell], and a series of other extremely dangerous spells. Of course, it also includes the Eighth Circle Spell [Wagnerd Dragon Binding Array] that we are familiar with, but it has not yet demonstrated the ability to cast Ninth Circle Spell."
Lang Pu's expression grew increasingly serious as he turned to another page of documents.
"Based on the strength standards you provided, the Military Intelligence Analysis Department of the Embers of the Burned Kingdom should rate him at around level 15, a kingdom-level powerhouse, a genuine high-level Archmage."
Finally, Lang Pu respectfully presented the documents to Keosius.
"This is all the intelligence we have for now. Wagnerd has already set up a constant Death Cloud Spell and a protective spell similar to Arcane Lock at the entrance of the Polar Night Demon Tower, completely sealing off the passage into the tower. Nothing can pass through. Moreover, he should now be aware of the kingdom's involvement and has become much more vigilant. It will be very difficult for the Starfallers to extract any more information from him."
"I'm very satisfied. You did a good job."
Keosius said in a calm tone.
The Red Dragon stared at Lang Pu, a hint of ferocity suddenly creeping into its voice. "Lang Pu, do you want another Archmage's head?"
The Dragon Vein Ogre Mage's expression instantly became excited. Normally, because of his identity as a mage and his position as the kingdom's Chief Minister, he always maintained extreme rationality and seemed to always be calm and composed. But at this moment, the warlike spirit unique to Red Dragon, like a raging fire, surged in his blood.
That's a Archmage of kingdom level, someone who would be a guest of honor for any power in the south! "Master, I couldn't ask for more."
"I can't wait—to tear that madman who dared to insult the great dragon to shreds with you!"
Lang Pu knelt on one knee and responded excitedly.
The Red Dragon slowly rose, shook its body, and spread its wings.
"Then go and prepare yourself. The Wagnerd Tablet is already here. As a mage, you should know what you need to do."
"Yes, Master."
Soon, a burly human with a face full of scars appeared in the hall. He was tall and obese, nearly two meters tall. He carried a huge staff and had a full beard. He didn't look like a shrewd and wise mage, but more like a highway robber. This was Lang Pu's human form, still so unique, but compared to before, at least he could be considered human.
"."
After a moment of silence, Keosius asked, "This is the Polymorph you spent months refining?"
The human form that Lang Pu had transformed into scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Master, I also feel that this form is a bit too small and fragile, but isn't it necessary to disguise myself as more human? So I had no choice but to leave it like this. If you think it's not appropriate, I can become stronger."
Keosius was somewhat helpless, wondering if that was what he meant.
But considering the Ogre ' peculiar aesthetic sense, and their belief that female Hill Giant were more beautiful than the Elven Queen, they stopped worrying about such trivial details.
The Red Dragon gently raised its head, its elemental energy surging. A blinding light flashed in its Golden Vertical Pupils, followed by an intangible eye that floated before it, containing immense elemental power and occasionally revealing illusions of the past and future—that was the [Calamity Dragon Eye].
Dragon Sorcerer can release their breath through the dragon's eye, and the Red Dragon gathers all its power to Maximized Flame Breath, storing it within.
"Lang Pu, go into the tower and hold off Wagnerd at all costs. This dragon eye will follow you and provide you with the effects of Divination."
"And I will step in at the most crucial moment."
Keosius didn't want to risk his life easily, after all, the tower still contained the [Wagnerd Dragon Binding Array], an Eighth Circle Spell that could affect him, but he would absolutely not allow this so-called "Dragon Mad Black Wizard" to roam around under his nose.
If he wasn't mistaken, the divided soul had already conveyed a message before it died.
In other words, Wagnerd was absolutely aware of his existence.
Lang Pu, on the other hand, was visibly excited, puffing out thick white smoke from his nostrils, and knelt on the ground once more.
"Master, I will bring back Wagnerd's head."
Keosius said calmly, "Don't get too excited. He's a genuine Archmage. Be prepared for anything."
"Yes."
In Keosius's eyes, Lang Pu's Class Level was 11, and almost half of the Embers of the Burned Kingdom's magical resources were at his disposal. This made the already gifted Ogre progress extremely quickly, and he had already learned Sixth-Circle Spell.
With the support of high-level Magic Equipment, especially [Bennett's Wisdom] and the Dragon Vein Ogre Ogre's true form, his Challenge Rating soared again, reaching an astonishing level 13, even comparable to a young Red Dragon.
As a veteran of the Embers of the Burned Kingdom and a trusted confidant of the Red Dragon, Keosius trusted him greatly, which is why he sent Lang Pu into battle this time.
In reality, even with thorough knowledge of the enemy and full preparation, it would be difficult for Lang Pu to defeat such a genuine Archmage alone, especially in the enemy's stronghold Polar Night Demon Tower. However, it all depends on the Red Dragon's follow-up assistance.
This time, Keosius has fielded his most elite troops, determined to win.
He was quite interested in the so-called "White Dragon with a thin Progenitor Dragon Bloodline" at the top of that tower.
I slept until noon today and still have a bit of a headache. I'll see if I can update two more chapters tonight; I'll definitely make up for it.
