Chapter 382 - Resolution (1/2)
The Mage Battalion of the Montego was already wiped out by the Black Sovereign in front of them…
Raven and the members of the Lucent were unable to do anything about it. The Subspace Blaster of the Warrior Mech was too troublesome that whenever it's activated, they can only scatter and avoid the damage it would cause, or perhaps lessen it a bit.
Luckily, their Lucent Knights were capable of speed flight and they could outmaneuver the Warrior Mech… The Float Drive System of their Mechs was incredibly stable and they almost move the Lucent Knights as good as when they're on the ground.
On the other hand, the Warrior Mechs were also keeping up with them using their Gravity Engine. Though these Mech Frames were designed to fight within the airless vacuum of space, they have enough functionalities and equipment to allow them to move without any issues…
What was amazing about their Gravity Engine is that it doesn't matter whether the gravity in the planet they visited is strong or not, it will be adjusted accordingly to let the pilots experience no issues with their combat performance.
”Raven… I think we should retreat for now… The Black Sovereign is stronger than we thought. We can perish here but Blaze must not be destroyed here.”
Falcon, Eagle, and the other member of the Lucent have similar thoughts after fighting the Black Sovereign for a while.
The reinforcement from the two other nations have already arrived but they were also unable to do much and could only take a few Mech Frames with their full force… They were even at the disadvantage even after all of their preparations.
Perhaps, if none of the magicians are using Mech Knights and Airsh.i.p.s, they would've been defeated already.
The sheer power that an Alien Mech Frame could muster was too incredible that even with all their high-grade Mana Spells, they could barely defeat any of them.
Perhaps, if they can continuously cast Grade 5 spells, these Mech Frames would be easier to deal with.
Unfortunately, they do not have that luxury and could only use whatever they have on hand.
Raven weighed the situation… Julian seems to be planning on making a move himself and was only waiting for other Grand Arcanists and Grand Sages to make a move with him. It seems that he's thinking that it's better to act together to ensure the success of their attack.
However, Raven doesn't have that much time… The Black Sovereign was too strong for them and they have to admit it…
The worst thing was that they also heard that there was a high chance that some powerful aliens are inside that spaceship! These aliens were not even making a move yet and they're already struggling! They have to revise their plan and change their approach with these aliens!
If they didn't do so, they might not have a chance at all and die here…
After thinking for a moment and considering the options they have… Raven decided to contact the council to request an abort on their mission.
He explained his thoughts about this and how Montego was too unprepared for this war. They were too reliant on the stationary Mage Towers that is extremely easy to be targeted by the Spaceship's Cannons.
There was no way to dodge the Black Sovereign's missiles and cannons as they can only try to bear the brunt of their assault, which is not really a good option considering the power of the spaceship.
There are already 8 confirmed Mage Towers destroyed and even if they have several more hundred scattered around the country… There is really no point with that if they can't reinforce each other.
”If that's the best option you have there, you can abort your mission and return here now… Just inform Virgan and Maja about your plans… Are you still communicating with Julian?”
”Yes!” Raven replied.
”Inform him that it's the decision of the council. Suggest to them that they can consider abandoning the region for now and try to consolidate their forces first.”
”I understand. I will do so.”
Their conversation ended just like that as he did what he was told. Julian can only accept their decision since he knows that they are indeed lacking and was too confident about the power of the Tower…
”Very well. I hope that your country survives that massive attack of the aliens…” Julian said and Raven couldn't find any emotions in his words.
Nevertheless, it's already good enough that he's aware that his country is facing a larger threat than Montego.
Boom! Boom!
”Tsk! Retreat now! Cover the two! Return to Blaze! Hurry!”
”Yes!”
Apparently, two Lucent Knights exploded after being hit by the Subspace Blaster… Luckily, Wallace created an ejectable c.o.c.kpit that saved the lives of the Magicians.
The Mech Frames were about to capture the two Magicians when the remaining Lucent Knights fired at them with everything they got…
Boom!
”Haha! Take that! Let's return now… Let them handle this.”
Raven laughed after he managed to destroy an arm of the Warrior Mech chasing him… The arm is carrying the blaster which made the pilot stop on their chase.
