199 The Rise Of Alastine Part Two (1/2)
A few days later, Alicia would understand what it meant to underestimate your enemy. ”Haha! If not for you elves sending someone ahead and setting up a transportation magic circle, we would not be here so quickly!”
”It is one of the up sides for having more Magi points. We can teleport farther distances for a longer period of time. Something that would take you, humans, months only takes us elves a few weeks.” Amier said sarcastically as he looked at Woodrow.
”Oh? Seems they set up a barrier quite a way away from the capital itself.” Woodrow gazed at the blue barrier in front of him.
”This barrier is nothing we can smash it easily.” After saying this Amier waved his hand and ten elves stepped ward. They had wooden wands with a large jewel embedded into it. The jewels began to glow as magic power was infused into them. Their wands raised to the sky and with a wave, a rain of meteors fell from the sky towards the barrier.
*Boom!*
The barrier shook and started to show spider web like cracks that spread out all over the place. The elven mages did not stop as they continued the volley of meteor after meteor. After the fifth round, the barrier could no longer hold up and shattered into millions of balls of light that floated up into the sky.
Alicia who was in the process of getting the things ready to raise the capital into the sky, body shook, causing her face to turn pale. ”They're here! But how!? According to all the calculations we made they should not arrive for at least another few weeks unless… Damnit!”
It was rare for Alica to swear but she did not think of them using a preset up transportation circle. They would only need one mage with enough magic to quickly teleport to a location. It would still take them some time but as soon as they arrived they would only need to set up the connecting magic circle to connect to the one they set up by the army!
Alicia looked at all the mages in front of her and came to a firm decision. ”We can no longer use the barrier as our guide. From this point on you will all spread out ten kilometers around the capital and set up the magic circles. Teleport to the locations as fast as possible and set up your magic circles! Once all the circles are set up and activated I will lift the entire capital! I must remind you all to be within the barrier that is created before I activate it so watch where you are standing! Otherwise, you will be stuck on the outside.”
She had no choice but to reduce the land they wanted to use for farmland. Although it was less it could still sustain them if it was all tilled to be used.
With Alicia's words, all the mages quickly disappeared. The job of raising an entire landmass was not going to be easy. Just to do this Alicia was going to have to excerpt a lot of magic power into the main magic circle. This magic circle was hidden in a room on the lowest floor of the castle.
”Alicia let me help you when it's time. I do not think with your magic power alone we will be able to raise the capital fast enough. But….” Blake looked around the room at all the imperial soldiers, and advisors.
