Chapter 1590: Chapter 491 Peach Blossoms in the Poisonous Fog (Part 2)

"How could there ever be a war without casualties? It’s always the civilians who suffer, while the politicians manipulate the game from behind!" Richard showed no semblance of the insight typical of influential political figures, and his words grew increasingly outrageous: "I’m just another pawn in the game, one of the manipulated! In a servant’s eyes, there are no heroes; in a soldier’s eyes, there’s no good or evil. We don’t have the luxury of choice—either we live or we die. Taking care of yourself is the only true path; stop daydreaming about being a savior!"

"Richard, I don’t know about others, but I know you’ll definitely come up with a solution." Avril giggled. She seemed to have developed an almost blind admiration for Richard’s capability.

"Solutions aren’t entirely out of the question." Richard scratched his head. "Here on the Aegean Continent, we don’t have the source of the ’Sea of Mist.’ Even if the Demon Clan releases their poisonous mist twelve times a year, it’ll evaporate! This is something we can work on!"

"To put it simply, there’s still no hope for the civilians," Kaka said ruthlessly, giving a grim analogy: "For ordinary people, the Demon World’s poisonous mist is like throwing fish into molten lava!"

"Mr. Druid, in our era, people with such bad omens would be nailed to a cross!" The Aegean Flower glared venomously at this pale-faced man, and Kaka’s complexion turned even paler.

"This battle seems utterly hopeless for the civilians," Avril sighed. "We should focus on moving all the Beamon to the Chesang Continent as soon as possible."

Richard shook his head with a bitter smile.

The suggestion was far too unrealistic and irresponsible!

As the continent’s sole Saint-Level Mage and the highest-ranked magic practitioner in Aegean, Richard had already understood why Master Puskas constantly imparted his teachings to him—Saint-Level Mages are the ultimate guardians of the world’s balance, whether they like it or not. That’s the reality!

This honorable title transcends racial boundaries. If this wasn’t the case, then why would Master Puskas have bothered to mentor and elevate Mourinho back in the day? Or later, nurture and care for Richard so much?

Richard might not yet have the ambition or confidence to play the savior of the entire world, but as a soldier who had endured the trials of war and smoke-filled battlefields, the unyielding pride of a warrior had never left his soul. Despite the incessant warfare among the Wisdom Races on the Aegean Continent, the ruthless invasion of the Demon Clan and Sea Clan had swiftly transformed those internal conflicts into a united front for the continent!

At this moment, everyone was comrades in the same trench, be they Beamon, humans, Elves, or Dwarves. Not to mention having neither enough time nor the coordination ability to evacuate six million Beamon within half a year—even if there was ample time, such an action would only induce widespread panic!

"The Demon Clan’s ’Undead Scourge’ was specifically designed to target the genetic makeup of certain species, and that alone is enough to drive people insane!" Elise stared intently at Richard. "Richard, I think you absolutely must find a way to get your hands on this ’Fog Hidden Pearl,’ even if you have to use personal charm!"

"Are you joking?" Richard shot Elise a disdainful look. "Who do you think I am? And why would I have the qualifications to swindle this pearl? If the Demon Clan’s Witch King were to hand over such a national treasure to me, would he even deserve the title Witch King? More like Fool King!"

"Honestly, I’d like to trick the Witch King out of his other two Aegean ancient weapons as well, but right now, I can’t even come up with an excuse, let alone acquire the ’Fog Hidden Pearl.’" Richard muttered another sentence, frowning deeply and sinking into agonized contemplation.

"Develop power, climb to higher positions!"

"Ridiculous! The Demon World is a unified continent, not like our Aegean Continent, where lords rise and scatter across the land like bandits. Where would we even begin to grow power?"

"Then what are we supposed to do? With the ’Fog Hidden Pearl’ paired with the ’Undead Scourge,’ the Demon Clan wouldn’t even need an army to wipe out ninety-five percent of the Aegean Continent’s forces!" Elise lamented, visibly distressed. Suddenly, the brilliance of Osteo staffs, Shield Crystal Diamonds, and Nau Platinum seemed dull to her. Having faced the same opponent twice in her life, with each encounter more challenging than the last, Elise felt utterly defeated and frustrated. Despite her thousand-year-old sagely reputation, she was still just a young girl unprepared for such overwhelming pressure.

"Wind Magic and Qi Magic can change the direction of the wind and blow the poisonous mist back to suffocate the Demon Clan’s army!" Kaka said nonchalantly. "I don’t believe their ordinary soldiers could survive in a mist of deadly toxin!"

"How do you know which city they’ll attack? Do you think they’ll give you time to prepare defenses in advance?" Elise’s face darkened even more, and she felt an overwhelming urge to pummel this haughty Druid. "Don’t forget, the Demon Clan now has Qi Mages too! Their total number of formal mages already matches that of Aegean, and they specialize in the four major magic systems, unlike us on Aegean Continent, where magic branches into countless schools. As a result, the total number of their Qi Mages far exceeds the combined numbers of our Wind and Qi Mages! Without a top-tier Qi Mage like Master Puskas, even if we knew their target in advance, we wouldn’t be able to defend against it!"

"Looking back, their sneak attack on Master Puskas must have included strategic considerations." Avril couldn’t help but sigh. "What a pity. You Elves are so fragmented, each hidden away in your own remote mountain forests. If only you could unite all the Elven Mages, who are abundant in magic expertise, with your mastery of Wind Magic, you’d certainly be able to hold off the Demon Clan!"
