"They're moving, they're moving again!"
At this critical mont, Raydell, who was closely monitoring the battlefield, detected the enemy's movents for the first ti. The disorganized army in the front unexpectedly regrouped, with thousands of shield soldiers forming neat lines like a solid wall, slowly advancing forward.
A continuous rain of arrows shot forth once again.
Soon after, a lodious hymn resounded across the battlefield.
"It seems these bishops are not giving up. What new trick are they planning?" Lynn frowned involuntarily.
From the intelligence he received, the Archbishop should still be in the capital. Only a few ordinary bishops and an entire group of priests ca with the army this ti. However, they didn't seem easy to deal with. The powerful divine magic that covered the entire field earlier hinted at sothing.
Lynn speculated that it might be so kind of enchantnt to boost combat morale. Otherwise, at the mont of cannon fire and simultaneous rifle volleys, the cavalry's horses would have panicked and scattered everywhere.
But harnessing more powerful forces wasn't an easy feat. The previous hymn had lasted for over half a minute...
"We cannot allow them to use it again!" Lynn's expression turned grave. High-level magic and divine spells could completely influence the outco of a local war.
Besides their three thousand well-trained gunners, the rest were just refugees. If attacked, a large-scale dispersal was highly probable, affecting the performance of the gunners.
"Do we need to direct the artilleryn to concentrate their fire?" Phillip asked.
"No, let them keep an eye on those longbown instead," Lynn shook his head. The number of cannons was limited, and those longbown were among the few forces that could threaten the gunners.
"Are you saying we should use that?" Orlando exclaid in surprise.
"It's also a good opportunity to test its power." Lynn nodded, then conjured a fireball in his right hand and sent it into the sky.
At the sa ti, hundreds of ters above, seventy airships were hovering above the battlefield.
On the largest leading airship, Lydia lay at the edge of the cockpit, using a telescope to observe the situation below. Upon seeing the charging cavalry falling in rows like cut wheat, she couldn't help but scoff.
"How's the situation?" the halflings anxiously inquired. This alchemical telescope was a novelty, with only one on each airship, so they had to wait for Lydia to report on the situation.
"These people are too weak. Each one is scared out of their wits..." Lydia expressed her frustration. It ant that their prepared novelty might not be useful.
Darak rolled his eyes. He had personally witnessed the power of the cannons. Anyone facing that would be scared out of their wits.
Suddenly, a burst of flas soared into the sky, interrupting their conversation, creating a dazzling spark behind the airship.
Lydia's expression imdiately turned incredibly excited. This was the signal agreed upon by Lynn and them.
"Quick, quick, quick... I'll handle this myself!" Lydia jumped directly from her seat, swiftly ran to the pilot's seat, and pulled the lever, steering the airship above the priests' group.
anwhile, Darren and the others brought over cannonballs the size of human heads and loaded them into the barrel, swiftly dropping them into the compartnt below.
"Fire!" Lydia shouted loudly, slamming her palm heavily on the button.
Almost simultaneously, the compartnts at the bottom of the seventy airships popped open, and countless cannonballs rained down from the sky, accompanied by bursts of fire, exploding in mid-air!
Countless sparks illuminated the sky, white smoke billowed, and soldiers on the ground, trying to extinguish the white phosphorus fires, ford a scene reminiscent of hell.
This terrifying scene almost caused Lord Rickman to fall off his warhorse.
Even the resounding hymn had ceased. Nord and the others stared in horror at the nightmarish scene before them. The protective divine spell they had cast earlier was now riddled with holes, and the fire rain was falling through these openings.
Such a terrifying range, such terrifying power, this was at least a fifth-circle magic, no, it might even be sixth!
"This must be the teor Fire Rain of the fifth circle... a great wizard, it's a great wizard... Retreat... Retreat quickly!" A grand bishop scread frantically.
Although they could barely cast a fourth-circle divine spell together, against a true great wizard, there was no chance of victory...
