761: Chapter 761: This Ti It’s Our Turn to Take the Initiative 761: Chapter 761: This Ti It’s Our Turn to Take the Initiative After annihilating the vanguard of the Klein Empire, Zhao Guang directly advanced at a very fast pace along the road.
He advanced directly to a position close to the border.
Moving forward ant dealing with a great deal of complex terrain, which is precisely why this area had beco the border between the two nations.
Looking at the vast river and the mountain range on the opposite side, while his own side could only rely on the river itself for passive defense,
it’s no wonder the enemy always seed to have the capability to invade, while his own forces were confined to holding this area.
But now that he was here, things were different.
“Jeana, notify the lords at the border to imdiately return to their original defensive lines to coordinate our defenses.
If they dare not obey, they can’t bla for not being polite,” he said.
Jeana obeyed the order and imdiately went to convey it.
At this mont, Zhao Guang’s position was quite unique, awkwardly situated on the map.
It seed like his location was capable of defending against the Klein Empire while also being ready to march into Duke Awgus’s territory at a mont’s notice, but realistically, it was not as straightforward as it appeared.
The place he was stationed was not suitable for defense; even the defenses were in the border cities behind him.
The enemy could strike at any mont, and the defenses were not oriented inwards; conversely, Duke Awgus’s troops had previously been prepared to combat the Klein Empire and could dispatch forces to his location at any ti.
Being outnumbered and threatened by both sides, he was at risk of being attacked from both directions if he wasn’t careful.
Fortunately, Duke Awgus was also under threat from Princess Balola, and as long as Zhao Guang could withstand the Klein Empire’s attacks, he could potentially coordinate a pincer movent with Princess Balola against Awgus’s territory at any ti.
In other words, his current situation was unique and allowed for any kind of transformation at any mont.
“So the urgent priority now is to turn this place into a location with extrely strong defensive capabilities,” he thought, stroking his chin.
If it were soone else, they might have retreated in this situation.
Even he had once considered whether to advance to this location directly.
But after so thought, he decided it was better to resolve the matter once and for all.
After all, he was a Great Mage, and not just an ordinary one at that.
With him there, even if his forces were slightly inferior, the enemy would probably not dare to make a move against him easily.
The loss of two Great Knights had been enough to significantly damage the enemy.
Thus, Zhao Guang imdiately sent scouts, while he fully extended his sensory abilities.
With his ability to instantly teleport and the help of his constant reconnaissance, he ascertained that there were no elite professionals nearby, then Zhao Guang freely began to take action.
The ground began to rise, and a segnt of the city wall was quickly constructed.
Zhao Guang didn’t dare to deplete all his magic power, using only half before starting his ditation to recover.
Under the ditation state, his magic power replenished quickly, and within minutes, Zhao Guang opened his eyes and resud his previous actions.
A huge city was being pulled up by him.
Utilizing the natural earth and stone available, Zhao Guang compressed and fortified them to their limits.
Even the ground itself was raised by him, artificially creating a plateau.
This massive engineering feat, had it been undertaken by an Earth Attribute Great Mage, would have likely taken a considerable amount of ti to complete.
But for Zhao Guang, it was shaped in just a few days.
Looking from afar, rather than a city, it looked more like a mountain peak.
Indeed, it couldn’t compare to the opposite mountain, but it had reached half its height.
Creating such a massive mountain in just a few days was truly a miracle.
And that wasn’t all, as Zhao Guang temporarily couldn’t arrange a Magic Array on the city walls, he instead installed many Anti-Magic Crystals within.
After all, he had plenty of those.
With Anti-Magic Crystals deployed, the city walls’ resistance to magic nearly reached its peak.
That is, there’s nothing special on the surface layer; as long as this layer is broken, magic effects would cease.
Moreover, the soldiers in front also had Anti-Magic Crystals, which needed to be activated.
Whenever they encounter the Magic Army of the enemy, they could activate the Anti-Magic Crystals at any ti, rendering large-scale but low-intensity magic completely ineffective.
This neutralized the enemy’s magical effects, fully capitalizing on their own advantages.
From now on, as long as this imnse city stands here, the Klein Empire could hardly think about getting through.
“If we could build a Mage Tower here, then this area has the potential to beco a major border stronghold,” he mused.
Zhao Guang had his reasons for choosing this location; it indeed possessed a Magic Node.
Although it wasn’t very powerful, creating a five-tier Mage Tower was still feasible.
If soone skilful enough were involved, even building a seven-tier Mage Tower was not out of the question.
Once that happened, the city’s defensive capabilities would reach their maximum.
With various strategies deployed, it would take several Great Mages from the enemy to break through this place.
With that nearly endless supply of magic power, Zhao Guang managed to achieve this in a short amount of ti.
The biggest problem now was the insufficiency of his subordinates’ forces.
A re thirty thousand troops to defend such a vast city was not an easy task.
On top of the city, the number of people who could participate in battle could definitely reach a scale of a hundred thousand.
After all, this city was not just an ordinary fortress; it was essentially a mountain.
Thus, Zhao Guang directly ordered the surrounding lords to send troops over.
Although their armies were not of the best quality, they had sufficient numbers.
“Now is the ti for us to take the initiative,” he declared.
Zhao Guang looked across, revealing a smile.
With this, his forces would hardly suffer significant losses in the upcoming battles, and training would proceed smoothly.
Then he would be free to roam anywhere he wished.
As a top-tier Space Mage with so many other abilities, even if a dozen elite professionals from the enemy side ca, Zhao Guang was confident he could keep them from raising their heads.
Now, it was a matter of seeing whether the enemy dared to commit that much.
What Zhao Guang didn’t know was that, at this very mont, the Klein Empire was equally distressed.
Who could have expected that a fortress like this could erge on the border in just a few days?
There were even so who thought, if Zhao Guang spread his tactics around, would they even need to contest with the Chirali Empire?
This Great Mage’s building capability was so strong; why hadn’t it been discovered before?
