Versatile Mage

It was easy to deduce that Eagle Eyes did not want the Eagle Horse Skyriders to know Lieutenant General Dutch was dead. He had purposely used his Psychic Magic on everyone.

However, it was impossible to cover fire with paper. The captains would soon realize that Lieutenant General Dutch was missing.

The Eagle Horse Skyriders did not panic, but the enemy started fighting back fiercely.

The enemy Super Mages no longer had to be wary of the Eagle Horse Skyriders after Lieutenant General Dutch was dead, and began to target the captains among the Eagle Horse Skyriders.

“You two, come closer to the Ruler-level Eagle Horse at once,” Eagle Eyes said with his own voice.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan looked around them. They were unsure who Eagle Eyes was talking to.

“Stop looking around, you two are the only ones who can hear me,” Eagle Eyes clarified.

The two flew towards the Ruler-level Eagle Horse in confusion.

The Ruler-level Eagle Horse was three times the size of an ordinary Eagle Horse. Mo Fan’s Eagle Horse could land right on its back, like a sparrow standing on the back of a tercel.

“Did you see it?” the man who was disguised as Lieutenant General Dutch asked them. He sounded just like Eagle Eyes.

He was the eyes of the Eagle Horse Skyriders. He was also the highest ranked officer below Lieutenant General Dutch, acting as his assistant.

“Are you referring to Dutch’s death?” Mo Fan asked in return.

“If you saw it, you should realize how grim our situation is. The ground army has yet to break through the Venomous Insect Shamans’ defense. Retreating is not an option for us,” Eagle Eyes confirmed.

“What do you want us to do? Just tell us, we are running out of time,” Mo Fan said bluntly.

“I can hear the voice of your spirits. If I’m not mistaken, you two are both Super Mages, right?” Eagle Eyes inquired.

“Yeah,” Mo Fan confirmed for him.

“You should know how easy it is to lose a battle when an army loses its commander,” Eagle Eyes went on.

Dutch’s shouts had motivated the Eagle Horse Skyriders after they invaded the enemy territory. He helped the Eagle Horse Skyriders remain calm and motivated when they were in danger.

Mo Fan strongly agreed with Eagle Eyes’ words.

“I know you two didn’t come to win the war, but you are still an ally of the Federation Army as long as our goals align.” Eagle Eyes’ eyes were as sharp as a real eagle. He was able to sense their real motives!

It was difficult to hide one’s thoughts from a Psychic Mage. There was a popular saying in schools and institutes: never have a Psychic Mage girlfriend, as she will see even the deepest secrets in your heart!

“We just want to find a way to the altar at the Scorching River. Can you see the upside-down waterfall over there?” Mo Fan pointed at the vortex.

It was better to tell the guy the truth than let him waste his time and energy reading their minds.

Mo Fan could not care less about who was going to win the war. As a matter of fact, he might have sided with the Brown Rebels if the Federation had colluded with the Black Vatican!

“The Black Vatican?” Eagle Eyes frowned. The war had taken place so suddenly, but everything made sense if someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes! “No wonder the enemy is so resolute,” Eagle Eyes commented.

“I don’t think you called us up here for a casual chat,” Mo Fan prodded him.

“I need your help. It’s in our best interest if someone can pretend to be Lieutenant General Dutch,” Eagle Eyes quickly went on.

“Isn’t that what you’re doing?” Mo Fan said.

“There’s no way I can disguise myself as the general with my strength. He could kill an enemy Super Mage, but I can’t possibly do that. I only play a supporting role in the fight, pinpointing strong enemies in a chaotic situation and providing Lieutenant General Dutch with crucial information which helped him eliminate enemies with high ranks,” Eagle Eyes informed them.

Eagle Eyes kept staring at Mo Fan, as if he could sense there was more to Mo Fan’s strength than met the eye.

“You want me to be the guy?” Mo Fan asked.

“My Innate Talent is Sense of Magic. I can accurately discern a person’s strength with my Psychic Magic. You are a Super Mage with three Elements at the Super Level. Your Lightning Element has reached the second tier, while your Shadow Element and Fire Element are first-tier, am I right?” Eagle Eyes stated confidently.

Mo Fan remained expressionless, but Zhao Manyan looked surprised at the news.

Eagle Eyes turned to Zhao Manyan and said, “You are a Super Mage with two Elements at the Super Level. First-tier Earth Element, and first-tier Light Element… your Water Element is on the verge of leveling up, too.”

The surprise on Zhao Manyan’s face grew. Oh my, this guy is rather impressive!

It was difficult for a Mage to sense another Mage’s strength when the person was not using any magic. Even a Psychic Mage would have trouble sensing a person’s strength so accurately.

“Since you have such a unique ability, were you able to track down the guy who killed Lieutenant General Dutch? What was his cultivation level?” Mo Fan asked quickly.

Dutch was incredibly strong if he could kill an enemy Super Mage without alerting anyone, but Mo Fan was more curious about the person who had killed him in return. All he knew now was the person’s ability to Summon the enormous black claw.

“I hold a great responsibility for Lieutenant General Dutch’s death. Anyone above the Super Level shouldn’t be able to escape my eyes, no matter where they are and what trick they are using to conceal their presence. It’s also why Lieutenant General Dutch went to the enemy camp the second time to kill another enemy Super Mage,” Eagle Eyes sighed sadly.

“Which means an extremely strong Mage has managed to avoid your eyes, so Lieutenant General Dutch died because he didn’t expect an enemy to attack him out of nowhere?” Mo Fan deduced.

Eagle Eyes nodded. He had failed to pick up the enemy’s presence. The guy had appeared beside Lieutenant General Dutch out of nowhere, just like a ghost, and killed him after he killed the second target.

“We haven’t used a single Super Spell before now, but you could still tell our strength in an instant. How did the guy who killed Lieutenant General Dutch avoid your eyes?” Zhao Manyan said.

“That’s exactly what I’m worried the most about,” Eagle Eyes admitted.

“So you want me to lure him out?” Mo Fan asked.

“It’s our only option. We do have a few senior captains who aren’t much weaker than Lieutenant General Dutch. I have been giving orders in Lieutenant General Dutch’s place and motivating the riders with my Psychic Magic.. His death is a nightmare, but it’s not enough to take us out. However, if that person continues to take out the captains one by one, the Eagle Horse Skyriders will soon be wiped out!”
