Episode 395
“Good! It’s clear that their offensive is weakening! In exactly 10 minutes, we will dismantle the wind barrier and launch an all-out war!”
The eyes of the wizards, who formed a large magic circle and spewed out mana with all their might, focused on the person yelling. Greg Marvin, a heat wave mage known for his unusually impatient temper, was continuously screaming with a red-hot face.
That face stained with anger was a common sight on Greg when he was radiating magical power, but other wizards also had similar expressions now.
It was a worthy situation.
It was a series of unexpected struggles right after the battle began.
“Does this make sense!?”
The repeating crossbow was as expected.
Now, the Empire has also adopted a highly efficient weapon as essential equipment for its soldiers.
There was a strange rumor that a weapon that was being secretly developed by the imperial family first came out in that small country, but in any case, the story is that similar weapons exist here as well.
However, the amount of Quarrel pouring in was 5 to 6 times greater than expected.
‘That alone is a disaster…’
Another unexpected shock was added.
Explosive magic that appears to be at the level of Circle 2 explodes one after another, devastating the ground as if a carpet of flames had been spread over it.
The majority of the command staff could not believe their eyes at that incomprehensible sight.
A sight where the castle wall, which is no longer considered to have much significance in modern battles, has become a very strong barrier, blocking the front of the imperial army.
In order to end the disaster, Galen Decade, the mage of the cold wind, stepped forward and attracted attention.
His efforts were clearly effective. However, in return, he is away from the front lines and meditating.
Still, thanks to this, I was able to confirm one fact.
– Many of these so-called hidden superhumans are here.
All three advance routes were equipped with a superhuman force that was more than enough to take on all of McLane’s superhumans.
However, the best among them was the central army. This was because the sword spirit and cutting wind were not enough, and even the leaders of the five great magic towers were a force comprised of the strongest men in the empire.
The problem is that it’s the only positive news.
“Damn it…!”
The war situation was already developing in a direction that was far from the imperial army’s thoughts.
‘We are in the Central Army. However, the armies of the North and South are significantly lacking in the number of wizards. ‘No way there…’
He had an ominous feeling, but there was nothing he could do right now.
“How many soldiers are there in there? And wizards?! What is the General Staff doing? They can’t get a single piece of information about the enemy!”
Greg kicked the ground nervously and screamed. He knew that he couldn’t do anything until the magic circle was dismantled, but he felt like he had to scream to calm his anxious heart even a little.
Hearing that nervous voice, one of the commanders next to him took a step forward.
Greg also knew the face.
One of the Imperial Army staff members who led the invasion of McLane and developed the strategy.
Did you say you were from Grandia?
“There was a rumor that McLane supplied repeating crossbows to the common people and even trained them. And what causes that explosion is not magic, but a scroll-like weapon…”
Greg responded to the words of the commander, who had brown eyes and an ordinary appearance. My impression was suddenly distorted.
“What!? Why are we talking about such an important thing now!?”
“I reported it the other day…”
“To whom!?”
“….”
“The staff is rotten too. You have someone in command who just picks up excuses and swallows them.”
Commander ‘Luchen Talos’, who had been scolded for speaking out for no reason, had no choice but to swallow back the swear words that rose up in his throat. This was because he could not now bring up the name of the person who had first reported.
‘I told you, but your empire didn’t believe me! Prince Baros too! The imperial family too!’
I wonder if it makes sense to give a commoner a weapon that can kill a knight.
Also, how expensive are scrolls, so why would they be used in such a large quantity in a civil war in a small country?
‘This is all the price of arrogance. Stupid imperial bastards…’
Of course, I never thought that the empire might be defeated, but I couldn’t help but feel uneasy at the sight of the kingdom’s army doing better than expected.
Even so, his current situation was very delicate.
Wasn’t he the Margrave of the Kingdom of Grandia who once served as an advisor to the Second Prince faction?
‘I never thought I would have caught a rotten rope.’
The prince who promised that if he caused a civil war in Grandia and drained its national power, he would be given the title of earl of the empire rather than the kingdom, is now wanted as a traitor to the empire.
The old Margrave of Grandia is now merely a member of the Baronet’s staff.
So he had to make a contribution in this war.
‘The western part of the kingdom is clear. We can provide you with directions. So break down. please.’
However, contrary to his wishes, Kyle Castle showed no signs of collapsing.
And at that moment, the red sphere of aura that had dominated a corner of the castle wall was seen disappearing in the distance. It was difficult to tell who the blurry shadow protruding from the castle walls was, but it was easy to guess.
‘Sword soul!? no way!?’
– Wow!
I hoped not, but I could hear the enemy’s cheers, as if their morale had been boosted even from this far away.
‘…How on earth!?’
He couldn’t help but swallow his sorrow as he looked at the walls that firmly protected his old hometown.
And of course it was not only Lu Chen who saw the scene.
Moreover, as even the knights who climbed the castle wall to avoid the quarrel and the explosion fell unilaterally, the flags at the front of the imperial army began to move frantically.
– Castle walls. more. Magic.
“Damn it! Everyone hurry up! The entire magic corps moves forward at high speed!!”
Greg Marvin, who interpreted the signal, screamed, and at the same time, the magic circle that was sucking mana from under the wizards’ feet lost its light.
thud.
Wooooow.
“evil!”
“this…!”
“Don’t pay attention to the fallen guys, hurry up!”
Celine, the magic tower lord of Earthquake, raised his heavy body and shouted to the surroundings. She stopped the magic by twisting the axis of the magic circle.
It seemed like several magicians from the 3rd circle, one of the weakest members of the magic corps, had suffered serious internal injuries, but it was the right decision given the circumstances.
Now was the time for the magic corps to fully participate in the battlefield.
Although there are only 3,000 troops, each one is at least a circle 3 wizard. He even learned side-by-side training just for combat. Although it is only the elites of the 5 Great Magic Towers, not all of the 7 Great Towers, they are trained in magical parallelism that can be used in combat in any configuration.
“let’s go!”
“Move! Quickly!”
As the tsunami wizards spread a water shield, the heat wave wizards turned the water into steam and created a huge spherical shield that bound the five wizards together.
Immediately, the earthquake wizards moved the land of their group, and the cold wind wizards pushed back with the wind.
The moment the freezing wizards used the power of the cold wind to freeze the ground and eliminate friction, the wizards wearing protective shields rushed toward the battlefield.
The moment they appear at the forefront of the battlefield, the battlefield will turn over again.
The 3,000-strong magic corps was not intended simply to project firepower toward the enemy. All the magic they will unleash will greatly strengthen the empire’s knights and soldiers ten times higher than that and bring despair to their enemies.
“Celine Lexi. We’re coming too!”
“Galen!?”
“There’s no time to wait!”
Greg glanced at Galen, who was surrounded by strict guards, and immediately grabbed the knight’s horse and started running toward the battlefield.
He also uses wind as an auxiliary attribute, but like Galen, he is not so powerful or advanced enough to fly through the air and fire magic bombs.
The difference between Galen, the 6th Circle Master, and him, the Expert, was only one level, but it was a difference that could never be ignored.
Of course, he also had the means to replace it.
“let’s go!”
The power of a mage, classified as magic force or mana force, was able to produce a similar effect to the force of a knight without any special magical measures.
If a little magic were added to it….
“Heeeeeeee!”
As the horseman, engulfed in the magic of flame, rushed towards the battlefield at incredible speed, two horses with brown and blue magic immediately followed behind.
Doo doo doo doo.
“Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!”
Greg kept yelling and running like crazy.
As the battlefield got closer, it was seen that Sword Spirit and Nellie were one-sidedly attacking the enemy king.
A place where gold, golden light, and pure white magic come together to create their own battlefield.
In a scene where even the disciples of the sword soul were looking for an opportunity outside the entire power, the golden light was gradually being driven into a corner.
Naturally, as the end of the enemy king was pictured in my mind, my anxious mind seemed to calm down a bit.
‘It would be a waste to add power there.’
What you and your colleagues need to do now is deal with the other mages who brought down the Mage of Cold Wind.
With that in mind, Greg raised his magic power.
But at that moment.
bang!
Something in the shape of a hand suddenly rose from the ground and grabbed the horseman’s ankle.
‘Golem?’
Heeeeeee!
The horse, which was running at a frightening speed, rolled around in the field along with its death.
“Sigh!”
Fortunately, Galen, who had sensed the flow of magical energy before that, was already stepping on his horse and jumping into the air.
Now that we are close to the castle walls, horseback riding is no longer needed anyway. Rather, with the current magic, I was able to determine the location of the enemy mages.
‘there!’
He stepped on the stairs of the wind that arose in an instant, flew over the castle wall, and looked for traces of magic.
However, his expression became distorted at the sight on the castle wall that he witnessed in that brief moment.
At best, the knights of the empire who climbed the castle walls were being attacked one-sidedly without even being able to use their hands properly. The signal that something was wrong with the castle wall was not an exaggeration.
But there was something else visible in the mage’s eyes.
‘Artifact? ‘All the enemy knights?’
The stumbling allied knights were also knights, but a weak but definite movement of mana was felt from all the enemy knights attacking them. That is making the situation on the walls even more unfavorable.
It was a sight he could not believe even though he was seeing and feeling it. Even if the entire budget of the empire was mobilized, it was impossible to provide artifacts to all of the nearly 2,000 knights.
‘What the hell is that…!?’
After conquering the castle, I will have to torture the enemy knights and make them spit.
With that in mind, Greg looked at the goal getting closer.
A trace of surging magical power and a red auror female knight standing in front of it.
‘Two mages, one Auror user.’
The analysis was quick, and among them, my eyes fell on the girl with red and blue odd eyes.
‘That nonsense was… so true.’
To put it mildly, this is nonsense. If it weren’t for the swordsman who said those words, the words that would have been laughed at and told not to be crazy turned out to be true.
Such a young mage in an age where mana is disappearing. If you were born in ancient times, wouldn’t you have the talent to become a god?
As Galen was secretly admiring, our knights screamed as they saw him flying over the castle wall.
“There’s something strange about the castle walls!”
“Be careful!”
Loyal people who think about victory in battle even when they are under the sword.
But he too is already paying attention.
‘If the wall is strange, don’t climb it.’
Even if you can’t freely fly and fire magic, you can at least stop for a moment.
Greg, who stopped in the air just as he had been flying outside the edge of the castle wall, immediately pulled out the strongest magic he had prepared.
“Mega flare!”
Grumbling.
Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The fireballs created in front of him began pouring down like crazy towards the target, burning up all the quarrels flying towards him.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Beside it, a corner of the castle wall shattered and a storm of rocks rained down on the same target.
That wasn’t the end.
Clap la la la la rock!
Suddenly, the raindrops falling from the sky turned into small, sharp daggers and aimed at them from above.
The attacks launched by three magicians among the seven great magic towers that the empire is proud of.
A female knight with red aura wrapped around her like a curtain stood in front of her.
