Various strategic magic spells soared into the air like festival fireworks, but the true effectiveness of these could be seen by the look of despair on the commanders’ faces.
"Hahahaha! Those fools! Hahahaha!" Luo Kas laughed uproariously, clutching his belly without any semblance of dignity.
"Those people are indeed not smart, but among them, there are also clever ones," said Lyd Jon.
"Oh? Where?" Luo Kas asked.
"Here, here, and here." Lyd Jon took out a map, pointing to several locations on it as he spoke.
"An hour ago, as they descended from the sky, I quietly took note of the positions of each commander’s team and their possible attack routes. Now, I can match the locations of the commanders who have cast strategic spells, but there are also commanders lying in wait, just like us. Although I cannot be certain whether they plan to wait and profit from the ensuing chaos like us, we definitely should not underestimate them," Lyd Jon explained.
"Not bad, worthy of soone who has beco a tribe chief. Your way of thinking is surely more cautious than the rest of us. So, do we just keep waiting?" Luo Kas inquired.
"Yes, but we won’t keep waiting forever. I need to see for myself the combat style of those Divine Armor mages. Only after understanding how they fight can I devise a targeted battle plan," said Lyd Jon.
"Alright, I’ll follow your lead!" Luo Kas declared. As he finished his sentence, he looked back at the four people behind him. They exchanged glances. They were fully aware that Luo Kas was the most influential among them, and as an old fox who had road the star oceans for many years, he had a knack for judging people. Regardless, following this old fox was undoubtedly the right choice. Hence, they said in unison, "We’re all ears!"
Lyd Jon nodded. "From now on, we’re all brothers, and I won’t keep secrets from you. In fact, the Ancient Mage Tower made an astonishing offer. I don’t know what promises they’ve made to you, but I know I can’t digest what they’ve offered alone. So, if things go smoothly in the future, I hope so brothers can help share the burden."
The group was initially taken aback. They all knew that the Ancient Mage Tower’s benefits varied for each person, which was a given. But the fact that Lyd Jon had openly admitted to receiving an offer he could not fully take advantage of—how astounding could that be? And he was even willing to share?
"As for what that offer is, I’ll tell you all in ti when you’ve grown more accustod to it. I promise you, brothers, I, Lyd Jon, have never broken my word to anyone and I certainly never will!"
The festival fireworks-like display of strategic magic ended, but the damage it inflicted upon the Divine Armor mages was negligible. Aside from so monts that made hearts race due to the need to evade attacks, there was no real harm threatening them.
"All Divine Armor mages, get equipped! Prepare to engage the enemy!"
The heavy Divine Armor fell from the sky, with Rune armor hard-wearing the magic spell bombardnt head-on, but the damage to the Divine Armor from these spells was nearly negligible.
"Magic Resonance! Start Magic Resonance imdiately!" So Ancient Mage Tower commanders instantly thought to use Magic Resonance to increase the intensity of their spells. And the Divine Armor mages had already begun their Magic Resonance a step ahead!
Various spells clashed explosively, with the intensity and casting speed of the Divine Armor mages’ spells clearly superior. Conversely, the Ancient Mage Tower’s Semi-Crazy Demon mages rely had the advantage in numbers, but this nuric superiority couldn’t translate into a real advantage in magical combat.
"This is a complete steamroll," Luo Kas said from a distance as he watched the battle.
"Indeed, these Divine Armor mages are well-trained and highly efficient. Of course, what’s most important is their own strength, as well as the excellence of the Divine Armor," a commander said.
"I even doubt that Elma has any understanding of war," another commander added.
"He simply doesn’t. If he did, he would have trained us for so ti before bringing us here," said Lyd Jon.
"Hahaha! I thought you’d never speak ill of Elma," Luo Kas laughed and said.
"This isn’t badmouthing; it’s the truth. I’ve never seen any commander take soldiers they’ve known for less than three days to confront the strongest legion of this plane. Moreover, the most important fact is, he still hasn’t entrusted us with the powerful Black Crystal Mages," another commander complained loudly.
"Things have co to this, stay calm and restrained, it’s not yet beyond redemption," Lyd Jon advised.
"What do you an?" Luo Kas asked Lyd Jon.
"Although I’m dissatisfied with Elma’s actions, I can understand his intentions," Lyd Jon said.
"What are they?"
"At this ti, Elma’s forces are substantially weaker than Long Yi’s. In any case, his soldiers are sowhat weaker than Long Yi’s, and whether they can retreat unscathed in front of the Divine Armor Legion or even gain a slight advantage is probably what Elma is scrutinizing us for," explained Lyd Jon.
"Hearing you put it that way, it does seem to make sense, but why do I still feel so annoyed?" Luo Kas said with a smile.
"There’s really nothing to be annoyed about. We don’t trust Elma, and Elma doesn’t trust us either. If he wants us to prove our value this way, then we’ll just have to show him," Lyd Jon declared.
"You have a plan?" Luo Kas inquired.
"To win, I have no plan. But to take a small advantage and then run, I can manage that," Lyd Jon admitted.
"That’s sufficient! Let’s do this!"
The battle ahead had beco increasingly intense, and those Semi-Crazy Demon Mages were gradually turning into pure Crazy Demons as the damage deepened. Once they beca Crazy Demons, their intelligence plumted, and they essentially couldn’t understand complex tasks anymore. Crazy Demons could only comprehend two commands: attack; retreat.
Once they turned into Crazy Demons, the Divine Armor Mages would deploy a special magic to shatter the Crazy Demons along with their Crystal Cores! Once the Crystal Core shattered, there was no possibility of the Crazy Demons reconstituting.
"I think at this ti, so people must be getting restless."
Sure enough, astonishing Mana fluctuations suddenly erupted nearby—it was a strategic magic! The commanders who had been hiding around waiting for an opportunity, once again deployed strategic spells.
"You! Get your Semi-Crazy Demons ready for a strategic spell right now!"
Lyd Jon said to a commander he was not very familiar with.
"What kind of strategic spell?" The commander seed lost.
"Anything will do, the longer lasting the better, as long as it can cover us!"
Lyd Jon said.
"Are we going to make our move?" Lucas said nervously.
"I don’t know, I’m waiting for an opportunity." Lyd Jon said.
"Damn it! We’re still here! Are you trying to kill us all as well?" A commander within the range of the strategic spell’s effect cursed while fleeing. anwhile, the commander casting the strategic spell in the distance sneered, "Don’t bla your brothers for being heartless, but when you’ve attracted the attention of the Divine Armor Mages, such a good opportunity doesn’t co often!"
The commander of the Divine Armor Mage Legion imdiately detected the abnormal Mana fluctuations and loudly ordered, "All units, contract formation imdiately, prepare to withstand four strategic spells!"
All Divine Armor Mages quickly assembled; they stopped fighting and stood together. Magic Resonance reached its peak, and a huge shield that enveloped everyone swiftly ford!
Boom!
The sky split apart, and terrifying flas spurted forth from the inside. This spell forcibly tore space to connect to the exterior of a star, channeling the searing plasma ejected from the star towards the enemy, ultimately using the high temperature to kill the enemy.
"Resist the photothermal energy!" the Divine Armor Commander bellowed.
Because this was not just a spell, but also actual matter, light and heat were the greatest threats. Layer upon layer of new shields arose, insulating the overwhelming majority of the photothermal energy like mirrors. But once the light and heat disappeared, the skies darkened instantly, heavy thunderclouds gathered, and imnse thunder brewed within the clouds!
"Defend against the Thunderstrike!" shouted the Divine Armor Mage Commander.
All the Divine Armor Mages moved in unison, instantly summoning Static Electricity Shields. At the sa ti, each Divine Armor Mage drew a nearly ten-ter-long giant spear from their private space, plunging the spears into the ground with all their might.
Boom!
The frightful, ferocious thunder crashed onto the Static Electricity Shield. Imdiately, the shield split the thunder into countless slender strands that flowed into the giant spears held by the Divine Armor Mages. The terrifying bolts of lightning traveled through the spears into the ground below and disappeared in the blink of an eye, allowing the Divine Armor Mages below, despite the overwhelming thunder, to stand tall and unhard!
As the thunder ceased, the air seed to beco moist, and the temperature dropped rapidly, covering the Divine Armor with a layer of frost in an instant!
"It’s a cold spell! Combine the Mana Shield with the Vacuum Shield!" the Divine Armor Commander ordered once again.
The Mana Shield blocked any magical attack, while the Vacuum Shield was double-layered, with an absolute vacuum between the two layers, impervious to the outer cold!
"I don’t know why, but suddenly I feel like Elma’s chances of victory are quite low." Lucas said.
"With such well-trained and high execution capabilities, it’s not sothing you can catch up with in a day or two, after all, they are a regular army," a commander remarked.
After three consecutive strategic spells were executed, they failed to inflict any damage on the Divine Armor Mages, leaving the commanders who had just cast the strategic spells dumbfounded.
At this mont, several commanders who had just arrived rushed up, cursing: "You son of a bitch, do you plan to get yourself killed to hog the victory? I’ll kill you right now!"
Of course, the aide-de-camp beside that commander would not allow his own to be insulted and brushed the offending commander aside. Then the commander pointed towards the distance: "You damn well know yourself, where’s the victory you’re talking about!"
The restrained commander looked up and saw that a large number of his commanded Semi-Crazy Demons had died, while the Divine Armor Mages were almost unscathed!
"Fuck! This is simply a group of monsters!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it at Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
