Chapter 419 - Second Offensive II (1/2)

[ The Strugglers Elimination Mission was successfully completed. All the five Conqueror Starsh.i.p.s were destroyed by the Chronos that were sent out. ]

”How's the casualty, Avalon?” Ace asked after hearing the good news.  ​​

He was impressed by Hilda and the others who completed the task but there were definitely casualties in this.

[ Only two Chronos with 30 Magicians have survived in the battle. All the Mech Knights were destroyed. ]

”This… That's too many… Did they force themselves? Ugh… Give me the list of those 30 magicians…”

There should be about a hundred Magicians in total in that operation.

With such a low rate of survivors, it can still be considered a failure on their end.

Ace clenched his fist after noticing that Ferdie, Ray, and even Lewis Vermont were not on the list of survivors…

He made a calculation with Avalon and made sure that even if they couldn't accomplish the task, they would have enough power to retreat into safety. He didn't want to sacrifice their lives to kill those thousands of Imperial Soldiers and Mech Frames!

”What happened? Give me the full details.”

[ Yes. I suggest you watch the battle instead. It only lasted for about 10 minutes. ]

Avalon suggested.

'Only ten minutes? Isn't that too fast?'

Considering that they'll be facing 5 gigantic Conqueror Starsh.i.p.s, he wouldn't be surprised if the battle lasted for a week!

”Very well… Let me see what happened.”

Ace then decided to watch the battle and easily noticed that the imperial army seems to have prepared themselves to be ambushed and attacked recklessly without caring for their safety!

They wouldn't even hesitate to use their Mech Frame's self-destruction to kill their magicians and destroy their Mech Knight's pilots!

It was such a crazy battle! Although the imperial army suffered heavily from their surprise Magic Attacks, they didn't lose their morale and fight like robots.

It was no wonder that the battle didn't even last for an hour.

The magicians couldn't retreat after engaging in battle as the army had no intention of retreating even after suffering casualties in their initial attack.

It was such a disastrous event for the mages…

At the moment, he can only imagine the current feelings of the young magicians that were in that battle. The Alien Invasion game may not be enough to help them condition their mind with the deaths of their comrades. It will still certainly create psychological trauma for them.

However, this is the truth about this war. They have an option to let the aliens conquer this world and pray for their safety or they could fight with his help and stop the aliens from doing whatever they wanted for the sake of this planet's future.

Right now, the remaining survivors were being led by Hilda as they were about to return to the Moon Base… They deserve to have a long rest after this fight.

'Perhaps, it's better not to let them join in any more wars.' Ace thought after considering the battles that they were put into.

He's planning to let the remaining magicians stay here until the war on Earth is over.

”Avalon… It's time for me to return.”
