Chương 2401: Worth

There was a saying that resonated deeply within the military hierarchy: one cosmos grand magus was worth a hundred regular magus, two cosmos grand magus worth a thousand, and three cosmos grand magus were worth ten thousand.

The elven commander's cold calculation was clear—sacrificing the lives of a few dozen magus to eliminate a grand magus, especially one as the elderly two-cosmos Archie, his age and weakened state made him an easy target. There was also the royalty that would bring immeasurable military and political value, catapulting her status and guaranteeing her a mountain of military accolades and influence.
