78 Urgency (1/2)

Wallace didn't care how the Meredith Empire have gotten here. All he knows is that every planet it set it eyes on would be plundered until almost no valuable resources was left.

The natives would be slaves if their weak or killed if ever they possess some threat.

The empire doesn't lack people but additional slaves is always welcome as its treated as a business.

Since Wallace is fully aware of the capability of the battleships coming towards their town, he knows that there isn't any chance they could survive it's confrontation. Unless his parents has some amazing mana artifacts in their possession that could make them escape here, they wouldn't really last long in fighting against this enemy ships.

BOOOOM!!

A loud explosion collided against the battleship as it tried to enter their town in the sky. It temporary halted the ship's advance.

Wallace and his family were still trying to get in their fcar to escape when the earth shaking blast happened.

”So fast! They're already here.”  Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.

Chase was surprised about the speed of the battleships but Wallace is somewhat aware of it. He also knows that their town's mana barrier wouldn't last long against the two battleships here.

”We have to move now or we won't have a chance.” Wallace said.

The empire has an advance technology that can detect human life or any living things. Hiding isn't a good option and only escaping is the best chance they have to survive. Luckily, only two battleships is present to apprehend their town. Wallace felt a bit relieved as the car moved to the northern gate to leave the place.

”They just collided to our town's barrier. It should give us some time. Right?” Elaine said worriedly as she grasp the situation they're into.

”No, they're just probably analyzing the barrier that stopped them and will destroy it in a moment.” Wallace answered and as if they were listening, a hadron particle beam was released that destroyed the barrier.

Wallace actually felt that it was overkill. The barrier in the town isn't that strong enough to even hold a couple of their missiles at all.

As soon as the particle beam hit the barrier, it was shattered like a glass and it continued hitting the town. The houses, people, and even some magicians trying to defend using their mana shells with their mana artifacts was disintegrated by sheer force of the beam.

A few seconds after the beam was released, their target was cleared and a deep hole was caved in where the beam run through after pulverizing the part of the town.

Many cries and angry shouts was heard after it was fired. Several families died just like that. Some people who had some knowledge in magic and a few Grade C mana artifacts tried to attack the floating battleships but to no avail. The force field emitted by the ship is so strong that only Grade 3 magic can probably damage it.

”We can't stay here! Leave the town. We have contacted the nearest city to send us some help here. Just focus on surviving right now!”

They heard the town chief's instruction and alleviated some of their worries. They saw that he was together with a dozen combat magicians stationed in their location. They probably plan to hold against the enemy while they're waiting for the special forces that is hurrying over here.

At the very least, it is good thing that they are also waiting for the Cove City's reinforcement to arrive and help them in their predicament.

Now, they plan on heading to the nearest city as their place will become the battlefield. They may also meet with the reinforcements and give them some security once they move towards the city. After all, their town's defenses doesn't seem to look enough to fight against the two battleships.

Unfortunately, even if their plan sounds good, the Meredith Empire's battleship wouldn't give them a chance.

Several hatches of the ship opened and marauder gears came out. It has the size of two cars with 3 people in it and has a very good mobility as it float in the sky. Their purpose is normally to capture or fight people. Only about 30 of these gears came out of the ship, it was obviously very few as they may just be probing thoroughly about what the natives here can do.
