1067 Tragedy and Fear Part 1 (2/2)

The tower might have been huge, but it was unable to carry people at such numbers. It had even less space now that it was armed with so many large scale magic cannons.

The cannons were originally meant to be installed in Ceylon City for defensive purposes. However, Ceylon City did not need that many cannons, and there was no way to install so many along the coast. While magic cannons were indeed powerful, there was little they could have done to powerful ones. Nailisi now relied on ancient warriors to protect the cannons. If too many of them were installed, they would have been caught in a ditch if the cannons were taken.

Saleen took charge of things in the Magical Element Cannon when descending upon his enemies. The Tanggulasians were in a panic. There had been rumors about the flying tower and it was said that when it appeared, there would be countless metal flyers zipping through the sky, raining magic fire shells and reducing everything to ash.

Regardless of how his enemies reacted, Saleen was able to see everything sitting on the 17th floor. The windows of all 24 floors of the tower were open and the barrels of the cannons were seen. Saleen ordered the cannons to fire at the enemies surrounding the cannon.

144 powerful beams of light sprayed from the tower. Saleen felt a high like no other. I should've done this a long time ago. Why bother concealing my strength? The dogs of the Holy See will not stop howling until they are killed. The ones who reign supreme are the ones with the most power, and their god isn't going to change this way of life.

Until the Lord of Glory was killed, his adherents would never died out completely. So long as they kept preaching in Myers Mainland, they would never forget their dream of making the entire mainland a holy nation of the Lord of Glory.

There was no escape and no room for negotiations. Such was the current situation with the mages on Myers Mainland.

However, Saleen seemed to have neglected a problem. While the cannons were indeed powerful, ancient humans never used them at such a scale. Humans back in those days possessed far greater resources than he did. He only went hunting at the Oceanic Ice Block, but the ancient humans were conquering planes.

With bombardment carried out at such frequency, a hell was born within a 20 miles radius of the Magical Element Tower. Everything was turned to ash, and even the areas between the beams burned from high temperatures. Saleen had to close the windows of the magic tower, and even the mercenaries who hadn't made it to the camp stopped.

In the eyes of the mercenaries, there was a huge ball—no, a ring of light—shooting to the heavens several miles away from the camp. The light was perhaps even visible from over a hundred miles away.

Elemental storms whipped up, Saleen's Magical Element Tower at the center. What followed was something Saleen had never expected: elemental annihilation.

Countless cracks of space formed outside the tower, spewing out all manners of unidentified powers. There were many types of powers outside of the six major elements unknown to man, which any life would find difficult to control.

With more than 100 magic cannons shooting from the Magical Element Tower at the same time, the space around them were destabilized. Energies spewed from the huge cracks in spaces, destroying everything in their paths.

There were many pockets left untouched between the beams from the tower, as the magic cannons fired in straight lines, and the resulting radius of the attack was several hundred square meters of scorching temperatures. What spewed from the space cracks around the tower, however, formed large energy balls.

The balls seemed to be quickly expanding, their diameters going from hundreds of meters to thousands.

The ground shook and even the earth beneath the tower was not spared. Other than where the tower stood, the ground of the camp sank by more than a dozen meters.

The sinking was lethal. Earth element shot out, killing all life in an instant.

Crap!

Saleen never thought that would happen. It was fortunate that he did not have the mercenaries move with the tower, or he would have killed his own army.

Gusion was an experienced veteran and after advancing into the rank of golden grand swordmaster, he developed an acute sense of danger. He made a snap decision to have the army return to the city.

All powerful ones from Daliang City caught sight of the light faraway with gaping jaws. What the hell is that? What kind of power can cause such an astonishing effect. The ground within a hundred miles radius shook, and continued shaking.

Saleen was speechless. While he had predicted that an attack would cause devastating effects, he never thought the situation would become so insane. Two magic cannons fired in a row would cause elemental resonance. His 144 cannons were installed according to orders of the six major elements. When fired at the same time, the resulting resonance reached a never-before-seen point.

Even ancient humans would have refrained from doing so, as the resulting elemental resonance would have been so powerful than even elite troops and mages would have died.

The energy of 144 magic cannons fired was definitely not something 144 level nine mages could have been able to compare to. No level nine sorcerer would have been capable of casting attacks as ferocious as the beam of the magic cannon.

Cracks appeared in the sinking ground, spreading out in all directions, devouring more lives.
