966 Destruction Part 2 (1/2)

On the next day after a night of silence, Lex began to organize the entire fleet and pass down the assignments of those involved in the battle. Other than the banner vessel, ancient combat vessel, and 12 skeletal warships, the rest of the fleet was made up of newly-built combat vessels that were running on magic furnaces.

In the fleet, the Ancient consisted of five battalions of main armies. There was a total of 100,000 soldiers in these five battalions and half of them were auxiliary soldiers. Saleen was not in a good mood. He did not bother with the organizing of the fleets and returned to the elemental magic tower. Once there, he summoned the sorcerers that Lex had given to him.

Originally, there were plenty of mages in Metatrin Kingdom and most of them were low-level mages. But ever since the increase in the collective power of the entire Mainland, most of the mages have advanced to grade seven sorcerers, regardless whether they were from Sregl Island, Bitter Water Prefecture, or those that Saleen had recruited personally.

There were 36 sorcerers in Saleen's elemental magic tower. Each level was occupied by six sorcerers and a total of six levels had been set aside as areas for sorcerers to fight. The lowest level had been arranged for the noble families of Ceylon City that lived nearby.

The difference between elemental magic towers and ordinary magic towers was quite significant. Firstly, as the magic furnace would only be able to magnify the powers of the spells when the magic tower was on the ground, the power of all spells would not be magnified while in flight. Mages needed to get used to the fact that the power of the spells they cast while flying would be the same as them casting those spells outside of the magic tower. The attacking range would also remain unchanged.

Saleen gave his orders to all the sorcerers as the elemental magic tower began to take flight. After a few hours of training over the sea, they finally headed to Ironwall City, just as the sky was getting dark. Saleen was flying very quickly as the fleet at the back was already attacking the port. Very soon, the metal flying machines on the ancient combat vessel would take off. If he reached earlier, he would give the Ironwall City people something to think about. They would consider whether they should retreat.

Saleen was aware of how absurd his thinking was. The leader of Ironwall City would never allow the city to fall without a fight. With that, Saleen increased his speed.

When they were 15 miles away from Ironwall City, Saleen let Nailisi go ahead. She needed to unleash her demon army from the Twelve Notes of Purgatory. The demons in the Purgatory of Devils were able to appear hundreds of times faster than before. The piece of equipment was already displaying the traits of a Godly Item.

Saleen's elemental magic tower approached Ironwall City at a height of a thousand yards. The people of Ironwall City quickly noticed the elemental magic tower. It was so gigantic that any ordinary person would be able to see it with their naked eyes.

Saleen was quite lucky. Over at the royal harbor, the magic array was destroyed by the ancient combat vessel. The battle had already gone on for so long, yet Ironwall City still remained unaware. That would not have been possible in Qin.

The elemental magic tower first stopped above the northern city wall. All six sorcerers on the second level joined forces and cast the Meteorite spell.

The Meteorite spell was a progressive spell. Under the effect of the magic tower, a hundred yard wide meteorite that was blazing with flames came crashing down. The attack came so swiftly that there was no way the defense on top of the city wall would be able to react in time.

The power of the elemental magic tower was on full display. The Meteorite spell cast by grade-7 sorcerers should only be about 10 yards in circumference, and the speed at which it was cast would be very slow. In this case. That meteorite was cast by six grade-7 sorcerers and it was close a hundred yards in circumference. Aside from that, it was completed almost instantly as it came crashing down from a thousand yards with dead accuracy.

The meteorite was unstoppable. With a loud crash, the central city tower was smashed into pieces. The ground shook, and debris went everywhere. Before the radiation of the spell had dissipated, the physical impact of the meteorite had already collapsed the surrounding hundreds of yards of city walls. By the time the fire started burning, there was barely anyone alive in that area.

From the magic tower, it looked as if a beautiful flame had been unleashed outside of the city gate.

Saleen's sudden attack managed to destroy hundreds of yards of city wall. He decided to elevate the magic tower and fly above the middle of the city.

There were nine magic towers in Ironwall City and six of them suddenly activated anti-flying zones at the same time. Saleen's elemental magic tower was too high, as high as 3,000 yards, and was unaffected by the anti-flying zones. Saleen knew that ordinary anti-flying zones could reach as high as 2,000 yards. A height of 3,000 yards would have be too dangerous for mages to fly.

At that point in time, the elemental magic tower hid itself amongst the clouds as it looked down at Ironwall City.

Saleen would never have dared to fly at that height on his own. Even with the elemental magic tower, Saleen still felt uneasy. He had used his Eye of Lightning as a test before and realized that the elemental magic tower showed no signs of defense. It merely absorbed the lightning and digested it.

This elemental magic tower was put together using dimension stones. It was said that dimension stones were made by the most powerful ancient people and they could absorb any type of power. Saleen possessed dimension stones of his own and they were of decent quality. He knew that if he was to attack the stone with his clan badge, the former would not be able to handle it.

”Who is destroying my city?!” From a nine-story magic tower in Ironwall City, a voice boomed into the clouds. Saleen could see the magic tower in the middle of the city, but the sorcerers in the city could only vaguely make out the outline of Saleen's elemental magic tower.
