401 A wolf’s fighting technique Part 1 (1/2)

Saleen was stationed in the temple, overseeing the overall command. Whenever the magic sound array was activated, he would be able to monitor the frontline. Ever since leaving Ceylon City, this was the first time Saleen did not need to put his own life at stake.

”It would be great if the magic sound array didn't require stable coordinates. That way, the orders could be disseminated to every single commander on the battlefield.” As Saleen was contemplating such a possibility in his mind, Jola stood beside him. Jola and Daniel were swapped, Daniel was now manning the frontline at the port.

Jola's personality was not suited for on-scene command. Jola could wield his sword to kill someone, but it was challenging for him to be a commander. Saleen knew that he would have to recruit people with leadership capabilities in the future. The battle this time around was not very large-scale. It was only limited to a city, so Saleen could deal with it himself. If the battle was larger, then he would have to recruit talents like those who served under Lex.

If the battle was part of a campaign, Saleen knew that he might not be able to deal with it since he only had book knowledge.

In the sky above the port, the black-robed mage stared coldly at the three kings who had gathered, then said, ”Trying to distract us?”

Judikaka chuckled, and replied, ”Yes. Anyway if you do not leave with us, we will slaughter your soldiers.”

The black-robed mage rebutted, ”I can kill your soldiers too, and I don't believe you can stop me!”

If any mage from the Myers mainland had heard that, they would have been in utter shame. On the Myers mainland, a mage would never charge forward to kill low grade enemy soldiers. At the very best, they would bless their comrades with some Magic Shields or treatment spells.

”Please do so! Hahaha!” Judikaka's presumptuous voice spread across the frozen layer. ”We shall kill the soldiers. Let's see who will be faster, okay? At the end of the day, we will have even more spirits under our command.”

In that instant, the black-robed mage's expression became very intrigued. Had Saleen been there, Saleen might be concerned with his threats, but which of the three kings did not hate Saleen? Since Saleen's orders could not be defied, they had to execute it. Saleen had anticipated that the enemy might be thick-skinned and try to kill the normal soldiers. That was not his real order.

”Saleen's order was – Judikaka, if you cannot ensnare the best mage in the enemy's team, you will receive punishment from the contract.”

Judikaka was simply spouting lies. The black-robed mage had never met a spirit who would lie, so he believed Judikaka. If the three kings went to massacre his soldiers, it would be disastrous for the allied army. He could not possibly kill faster than a high grade spirit, because the spirits themselves were carrying toxins in their bodies.

The allied army was still stationed on the frozen layer, and there was no form of concealment on this one-hundred mile wide layer of ice. In the face of three flying horrifying spirits, the soldiers would have zero chance of escaping.

The other party's soldiers were mostly based in the city with protection from fortresses. No matter how powerful he was, he also could not kill all of them swiftly. A spirit who was hovering in the sky spit out a ball of gray fog, as though verifying his worries. This ball of gray fog floated towards the soldiers on the frozen layer.

The black-robed mage immediately casted the Wild Wind Spell, destroying that ball of gray fog.

In a timely manner, Banchajanna bellowed at the black-robed mage, ”Despicable human, why don't you dare face us in a fair and square battle?”

”Fine!” The black-robed mage knew that he had a solution to kill the three kings in one go. The soldiers on the frozen layer were still unworthy of getting tortured by them. In a soft voice, he said to the four grade-6 mages behind him, ”Follow me.”

Speaking, the black-robed mage abandoned his ground troops and flew north. The three kings were hot on their heels. If the black-robed mage did not fight with them, they would not really care either, so long as the five humans did not escape. More specifically, Saleen was worried that the enemy's high grade mages would massacre his soldiers in a fit of rage.

The main reason was because the city had not been fully constructed. The skies would have been a no-fly zone otherwise. Even a sorcerer would not be able to fly into the city.

A sorcerer would have to enter through the city gates openly in places like Holy Rock City and Alchemy City. If one wanted to leap over the city walls, they would have to use a ladder like the normal soldiers or step on their comrades' bodies. If one tried to fly over the city walls, they would receive a barrage of arrows from the alchemical crossbows.

Alchemy City still had alchemy towers which formed a network prohibiting the use of magic. Once this massive magic array was stimulated, no one would be able to fly in the skies. Holy Rock City was even mightier. Once the magic clock, which had been handed down since the ancient times, was sounded, any mages flying overhead would simply collapse onto the ground due to the violent vibrations.

Saleen's city would also possess such an ability once the thirty-six magic towers were completed. As long as there was a sorcerer in any thirty-six magic towers, an enormous magic array could be activated, preventing all forms of flying.

Humans had invented such a defense mechanism to deal with the flying magic beasts. Ancient humans did not even give a hoot about this matter. Back then, humans could build flying cities. Powerful experts were ubiquitous, no one was afraid of getting disturbed by any magic beasts.

As the black-robed mage left with the three kings, more and more allied troops came onto the layer of ice. These soldiers had escaped from their sinking ships, and many of them did not even salvage their weapons.

The time taken for a colossal warship to sink was really long. Only after a full hour did the twelve warships sink into the ocean. The winged skeleton had achieved victory in his first battle, with a score of twelve to zero. With that being said, there were eight warships out of the twelve which had a weak defense.

The ships from the island states of the eastern sea were not slow at all. In terms of defensive ability, they were poles apart from that of Cloudflow's warships. The winged skeleton had used eight times his normal offensive power to attack four of the warships, and twice the offensive power against the armed merchant ships. The outcome was not surprising at all.
