Capítulo 1839: Chapter 879: Red Robe Mage Association’s Countermeasure (Part 2)

Gaven voluntarily promised that if the Dream Railcar were to undergo actual research and manufacturing, he would provide the necessary steel materials to the Laiserman Kingdom at factory cost, thus offering material support for this endeavor.

The Haslan Witches naturally wouldn’t refuse, as the Laiserman Kingdom doesn’t have its own iron mines and primarily relies on imports.

The imports aren’t only from other territories on the Material Plane but also from the Inner Plane, specifically the Earth Elemental Plane, a world entirely composed of earth elements, which not only possesses endless soil and rocks but also limitless mineral veins.

The metals and gemstones available on the Material Plane are present here.

Metals and gemstones not found on the Material Plane are also here.

As long as one can find the caves of the natives of the Earth Elemental Plane, one can harvest a vast amount of ore.

However, the difficulty of transporting these ores back is even greater than finding them, and only a small number of top-tier witches can accomplish this, meaning it is mainly used for emergency needs, while most of the time, reliance is on trading within the Material Plane.

The fact that the Laiserman Kingdom is shrouded in a complete dreamscape does not simply mean frequent earthquakes for itself.

The red-robed mages of the Kingdom of Ser, separated by only a lake, immediately sensed this and couldn’t help but appear again at Mosantiel Lake.

“What’s going on? Why do I feel a terrifying power engulfing this place? If we rashly enter, something bad will happen? What exactly have those witches done?”

“Dreamscape, this is Dream Power, Laiserman is now enveloped in a complete dreamscape, the thing I fear most has happened, from now on, our conflicts with these witches will become more challenging.

Besides the Skeleton Legion, all other legions, including our Red Robe Mages, if they enter Laiserman territory, they might suffer from this Dream Strike.”

“I said we shouldn’t have retreated so easily just now, but should have continued to dispatch forces and fought them to the bitter end in Mosantiel City, by any means necessary, to seize this opportunity to bite off this hard bone and open a breach on Laiserman Kingdom, you all feared excessive casualties, and now it’s more difficult than ever.”

“What’s this commotion? Are you really scared by just a dreamscape like this? You’re unworthy of the title of chairperson. Don’t we still have the Skeleton Legion and Sazass, the First Chair? He will surely find a way to break the dreamscape.”

“Every problem has a solution, even a dreamscape is no exception. The best way to solve it is through the same channel. Misrela, you are the Chairperson of Illusion Spell, since illusion and dreamscape are inseparable, I’m entrusting the research of the dreamscape to you.”

“Illusion is illusion, and dreamscape is dreamscape, how can the two be conflated? Besides, this is a matter for our entire Red Robe Mage Association, how can it be entirely shouldered by our Illusion Faction?”

After a quick investigation, these red-robed mages understood the situation. Although they were all rather shrewd, their faces turned extremely grim at this moment.

They were fully aware of the substantial threat this ability poses to ordinary soldiers, and from now on, their endeavor to invade the Laiserman Kingdom would become significantly more challenging.

After discussing for a long time, not only did they fail to find a solution, but instead, they started blaming and shirking responsibility among themselves.

This is typical behavior for these red-robed mages; their combined efforts always yield less than the sum of their parts, and the energy they spend on defending against each other far exceeds that towards the enemy.

“Wanting to start from scratch to study the dreamscape will always leave us one step behind those witches. We should start from the source. As far as I know, this dreamscape is not the witches’ own power, but related to the young commander named Gaven. We can start with him to try and obtain more information about the dreamscape and find a way to break it.”

“I think this method is feasible. Chief Lazorel, your Enchantment Faction specializes in mental manipulation, perhaps you should take on this task.”

“You simplify things. Regardless of his current significance in the Laiserman Kingdom, just the strength he displayed in the defense of Mosantiel City proves he’s no ordinary person. Trying to use magic to manipulate his mind might not be an easy task.

I believe some more conventional methods might be more effective, like money, beauty, power, and strength. There must be something he desires; once we find his weak spot, we have an opportunity.”

“Corrupting the mind through desire is also a form of mental manipulation, isn’t it?”

“I suppose you’re not wrong in saying that.”

The conversation of these red-robed mages circled around until it eventually settled on Gaven, the instigator of the Totem Dreamscape.

Their first thought, being sinister red-robed mages, was to capture him and extract all of the dreamscape’s secrets from his mouth.

However, the martial prowess Gaven demonstrated in Mosantiel City gave them pause, as eliminating so many high-grade undead in such a short time is no easy feat.

To counter-convert those high-grade undead into his own soldiers would be even more challenging, something beyond the capacity of ordinary people.

Hmph.

With a cold scoff, all the red-robed mages fell silent and looked toward the man in the center, exuding an endlessly chilling aura.

For he was Sazass, the First Chair of Ser.

The voice of this First Chair of Ser was as always, varied in tone, slow but rhythmic, as if pondering each word carefully, “Approach this matter from three aspects.”
