Book 7: Chapter 127: No longer invincible
The several dozen Magic Airships suddenly spread out in all directions and flew off very far away from where the battle was currently happening.
Then under the doubtful gazes of the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army, the Magic Airships in these different directions released a sparkling light that created a beautiful light barrier in the sky, covering an entire area.
This thing really was too small, General Phil couldn’t even see it clearly with his telescope.
But with his experience from many battles, his instincts told him that these small things weren’t anything good. He immediately turned to give the order to the magicians squad to have them intercept the Magic Airships, stopping them from continuing their arrangement with these small glowing things.
But before the magicians squad could make a move, the Lampuri Kingdom army camp on the Gregory Hughes Mountain Range suddenly released countless red lights that densely covered the sky.
Seeing this, the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army was stunned.
Of course they could see that this attack should be from the Lampuri Kingdom’s Magic Cannons, but wasn’t this attack too terrifying?
There were over a hundred Magic Shells shot into the sky at once, which meant that the Lampuri Kingdom had fired over a hundred Magic Cannons at the same time!
The Lampuri Kingdom had never shown this kind of terrifying firepower before.
Moreover, this would consume a considerable amount of Magic Shells. With this consumption, how long could the Lampuri Kingdom army last?
If they didn’t have the support of this firepower, the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army could even send normal soldiers to attack.
Was the Lampuri Kingdom going insane?
But it wasn’t the time to consider this now. Seeing the dense cannon shots flying through the sky, the magicians of the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army didn’t even wait for General Phil’s order as they released their magic barriers, covering the entire surrounding army.
After fighting over a hundred times with the Lampuri Kingdom army, they were already very proficient in doing this. Even the normal soldiers were already used to this and they all grouped together, hiding under the magic barriers of the magicians.
There were no magicians who tried to intercept the Magic Shells in the air with spells because they had attempted this countless times before, but it didn’t work a single time. So when facing this attack, all the magicians only had the thought of defending.
“Hong, hong, hong, hong……”
There was a series of deafening explosions. With the defenses of the magicians, they didn’t suffer a single casualty.
However, the magicians didn’t even have a chance to catch their breath as over a hundred flames appeared in the sky again. It completely covered the up the flames of the Flame Attributed Forbidden Spell.
“Hong, hong, hong……”
The Magic Shells kept coming from the Lampuri Kingdom army’s position on the Gregory Hughes Mountain Range, falling onto the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army like rain.
The terrifying explosions kept ringing out in General Phil’s ears, causing the doubt to build on his face.
What were the Lampuri Kingdom fellows thinking?
If they used these Magic Shells like they didn’t care about money, they wouldn’t have enough to use.
After knitting his brows to think, General Phil suddenly thought of a possibility.
“Could it be that these Lampuri Kingdom people want to use these Magic Shells to consume the magic power of our magicians and then attack with other military magic machines? But……”
General Phil’s eyes turned to the four Arch Magi who were preparing Forbidden Spells.
Because the might of those four Forbidden Spells were terrifying, even an Arch Magus needed time to prepare it, so that was why it still wasn’t prepared yet.
But once it was prepared, the Magic Tanks that had come down from the Gregory Hughes Mountain Range would definitely be caught up in the four Forbidden Spells.
Was the Lampuri Kingdom side not aware of this?
General Phil was still deeply thinking about this when he discovered that Arch Magus Nagan who was preparing the Fire Attributed Forbidden Spell suddenly swayed in the air. Then he was like a kite with its strings cut as he fell from the sky.
General Phil was shocked and without even thinking, he pushed his horse in the direction that Arch Magus Nagan was falling in.
But before he even took two steps, he found that the magicians in the air who had prepared the magic barriers for the soldiers started falling one by one.
There was a magician who fell in front of him. If General Phil didn’t react fast enough to move his horse aside, he might have been stomped to death by his horse.
However, even if he wasn’t stomped to death, the fellow who had the badge of an Eighth Grade Magician on his chest fell from ten meters up and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then after taking a breath, there was no longer any life left in his eyes.
General Phil looked around in shock. He saw that there were quite a few magicians who were caught by the soldiers and their lives weren’t in danger, but they couldn’t move because they had been hit too hard.
As for the ones that weren’t caught, just one look could tell that they had lost their lives.
Three figures suddenly came down from the air and landed beside General Phil.
General Phil took a look and saw that it was the other three Arch Magi. He immediately let out a sigh of relief.
“Then three of you, what is happening? Why are you all……” General Phil asked in an anxious voice.
“Sir general, immediately retreat. This place is already……”
An Arch Magus had only quickly finished half his words when a flame suddenly fell less than ten meters in front of General Phil.
“Hong!”
There was a fierce explosion and everything turned dark in front of General Phil. There was a wave of dirt and stone that suddenly exploded that even blew his horse into the air.
When he landed ten meters away, he had already passed out.
###
In late November, most of the northern countries would start snowing, which meant that the Sines Continent had entered the coldest winter season.
However, compared to the news that shocked the entire continent, this snow didn’t matter at all.
In November, the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army had started a fierce battle with the Lampuri Kingdom army in the Gregory Hughes Mountain Range.
During this battle, the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army had one hundred and sixty thousand troops, while the Lampuri Kingdom only had forty thousand troops. However, in the end, the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army had suffered a large loss and the Lampuri Kingdom had achieved complete victory.
If it was just a single victory, it wouldn’t be enough to surprise people.
But in this battle, the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army had lost sixty thousand people, with countless heavily wounded and missing troops. In the end, there were only less than fifty thousand people who had escaped.
Among these losses, what had truly shocked everyone was that one of the Marlow Empire’s four Arch Magi had died in the battle!
Nine years ago, Arch Magus Levin Hasko had fallen after attacking the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters. This news had already shocked the entire continent.
Because in the history of the continent, there were few Arch Magi that fell and there hadn’t been a case in several centuries.
But Arch Magus Levin Hasko falling could be explained as him being too arrogant. He attacked the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters, that was why he had fallen into the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s trap.
Then again, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce already had Arch Magus Camilla who was at the same level as Arch Magus Levin Hasko, as well several Great Magicians. They were able to compete with Arch Magus Levin Hasko and Arch Magus Sarandal Clay in theory.
But this time, the Marlow Empire’s Arch Magus Nagan who had fallen had fallen in a fight with the Lampuri Kingdom Army. The Lampuri Kingdom didn’t even have a single Arch Magus, they barely had any Great Magicians, but they could kill Arch Magus Nagan which no one could believe.
What was even more unbelievable was that the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army didn’t just have Arch Magus Nagan, but also three other Arch Magi.
With four Arch Magi working together, one person had died and the other three were seriously injured. In the history of the entire Sines Continent, this had never happened before!
After everyone was shocked, their hearts were filled with doubt.
How had the Lampuri Kingdom army done it?
No one was surprised that they could beat the Falk Kingdom and Marlow Empire allied army because they had the large amount of military magic machines provided by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
But how had they defeated the four incomparably powerful Arch Magi working together?
In this panic and doubt, many people also started panicking.
For the people of the Sines Continent, Arch Magi had always been special people that were far above normal people.
Arch Magi were the peak among magicians, they were like gods to be worshipped for normal people, they couldn’t be resisted.
But now the Lampuri Kingdom army had used facts to tell everyone that Arch Magi weren’t invincible, they could also be killed like normal people.
For many people, this destroyed the images of these gods in their hearts, which was naturally hard for them to accept. They even started panicking because of this.
This attack wasn’t that serious for the other countries of the continent, but for the citizens of the Marlow Empire, it was fatal.
This was also a powerful blow for the citizens of the Candra Empire because the Candra Empire also had nine Arch Magi like the Marlow Empire. They had always been considered gods of protection by these citizens.
Now that these gods of protection weren’t as invincible as everyone thought, did that mean that the two empires were no longer invincible?
