Navardoze exhaled. The fireball that had been lingering in her throat shot toward the headquarters of Nebula Clazie. In an instant, all movements of the Allied forces stopped.

“Shoot, shot!”

Someone shouted. The moment had finally arrived. A bright and hot fireball, so bright that it seemed like it was the sun's younger brother, was gliding through the wind.

“Everyone, close your eyes and bow your heads! Send a request for support to the Magic Tower!”

“Respond calmly!”

This was where it got important. The commanders leading each unit quickly began giving instructions. The soldiers, as they had practiced beforehand, sought cover, ducked deeply, and turned away from the fireball.

(Aunt Fila. It's now.)

(I checked. This is awesome.)

Adeshan sent a message to the tower masters. The exclamation of the dawn tower master Aun Pillar came back. He was in charge of long-range fire support and was watching the battle situation with his subordinate wizards.

Woohoo! At the same time, a huge force field covered the nine fortresses occupied by the Allied Forces. It was not just the work of Dawn, but also the work of all the magic towers. It was a defensive barrier to block the backlash of the fire that Navardoze had spewed.

“please···!”

It didn't take five seconds for this to happen. Adeshan closed his eyes and clenched his fists. The peace of the continent was right before his eyes. It was the moment when the shrinking fireball hit the protection of the stars covering the headquarters.

Kwaaaaang-!! A loud noise rang out. Indescribable flashes of light and heat covered the white earth. Everything in sight was engulfed in crimson flames.

“Ugh···!”T/his chapter is updat/ed by nov(ê(l)biin.c/o/m

“Hold on, hold on!”

The soldiers gritted their teeth. Despite the five layers of shields between them, the terrible heat was vivid. The shields, which had reached their critical point in an instant, were shaking madly.

“Whoaaaaah!”

【for a moment···】

Not a single living creature outside the shield survived, not even a single ant. The believers and artificial giants who barely managed to escape with their lives were oxidized to ash before they could even let out their final screams.

The grass, the trees, and the corpses strewn about were all consumed by the flames. The screams of the air shook the heavens and the earth. The primordial fire rose into the sky, drawing a gigantic whirlwind of flames thousands of meters in diameter.

Even a god wouldn't be able to survive there. Soon the tornado dissipated and the flames died down. Asher's eyes widened.

“Sat, it worked···!”

Instead of entering the shield, he had fled far into the sky. The headquarters that appeared from where the smoke had disappeared was not wearing the protection of the stars. Orsay, who was carrying Axel, let out a hollow laugh.

【What a monster with no answers.】

At this point, it was unbelievable. The shame of being hit in the chest and fainting seemed to have eased a little. The soldiers who opened their eyes late let out a gasp of shock.

“Look, look! Their defenses are disappearing!”

“Oh my god, really!”

Cheers erupted from the nine fortresses. The star protection, which had finally failed to overcome the heat, was crumbling. The interior of the castle, which had not been properly seen, was now revealed.

“Bird, there’s less than I thought. Did you put them all inside?”

“I’ve already turned nine fortresses, so that’s understandable. I guess I’ve run out of capital now.”

The soldiers were murmuring. Perhaps because they had dispersed their forces. The number of believers stationed on the walls seemed to be no different from the number of soldiers resisting at each fortress.

However, if there was one thing that bothered me, it was the mana that was surging deep within the castle. A huge amount of mana was rising into the sky, forming an invisible pillar.

“What is that?”

“I don’t know. It seems like it’s doing something, but...”

I couldn't see the details. Almost everyone looked up at Navardoze at the same time. She was breathing heavily and flapping her wings in place to catch her breath. Adeshan tilted his head.

“Lord Navardo...?”

Despite her amazing achievements, her expression was not very good. Her eyes were still glaring at the pale castle as if she was going to kill it.

The soldiers who did not know this were confident of victory and were waiting for the order to charge. After about a minute, Navardoze, who had been growling, blurted out.

【I'll shoot one more time.】

Navardoze growled. It was a shield to prevent the aftermath of the battle from being released to the outside. Just as Abel was about to say something, the two of them disappeared along with the shield.

“Oh, it’s gone.”

“That was the cult leader earlier? What’s going on?”

This was another unexpected situation. The soldiers were in confusion and were muttering. Suddenly, Navardo's shout resounded from the sky.

【All advance! Exterminate all the evil forces that are trying to realize their ugly fantasies!】

“Lord Navardo...!”

I couldn't see it, but I could hear it clearly. It seemed like they were fighting the cult leader in this space. Suddenly, the space where Navardoze was flipped over and Lorhone jumped out.

“Okay, then let’s go and see.”

“Your Majesty?”

The soldiers' eyes widened. His hands, which had returned to the form of an old man, were already wrapped in magic that he was casting. Clap! He clapped his hands after reciting a few spells. A small magic circle was drawn under the feet of all the Allied forces.

“What is this···?”

“I can’t walk that far. I’ll have to become a storm.”

Lorhorn laughed at the soldiers' confusion. Then, all the magic circles began to glow simultaneously, and the spaces where each member of the Allied Forces was located were turned upside down.

“Ugh!”

Paaaaah-! Those who opened their eyes again gasped. The allied forces that had been dispersed across the nine fortresses were gathered in one place. They were perfectly formed and were surrounding the pale castle.

“oh my god.”

“Oh, you moved a hundred thousand people at the same time?”

The high walls were spread out before my eyes. The pillars of mana that were visible from afar were now close enough to touch. The believers stationed on the walls were astonished.

“Damn, what the heck all of a sudden!?”

“Your Majesty, Archbishop!”

It was a magic worthy of the title of Grand Wizard. It didn't take long to get used to it. The commanders who shared their strategies through the telegram were about to give the order to charge. Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from the top of the castle walls.

“Welcome, everyone.”

“huh?”

Adeshan raised his head. A woman in a magnificent robe was looking down at the Allied forces. She looked like a young and beautiful maiden, but the aura blooming from her shoulders was unusual.

“Thank you all for coming all the way here. I am truly amazed by your ability. Even though it is fake, I never thought you would defeat all those giants.”

The woman continued. The bewildered people listened to her without even thinking of what to say. The first to come to his senses was Adeshan, who aimed his crossbow. Archbishop Letancier smiled.

“Okay, bye now.”

It was a sly laugh. Then, the mana pillar that had been irritating the eyes since earlier and was rising above the castle was amplified dozens of times.

Hwaaaaak! At the same time, the clouds covering the sky dispersed. The Allied Forces' eyes widened as if they were going to pop out. Dozens of giant magic circles were densely decorating the sky.

“···no.”

Someone was mumbling. It was a sight that could never be forgotten once seen. I had seen the magic circles with strange patterns writhing around before.

As if to prove it, pure white giants were slowly descending, tearing through the magic circle. They had at least four wings, and at most six, and they were not artificially created fakes.

It was obvious that it had been prepared over a very long period of time. Only then did people realize that the nine fortresses were not simply built for defense, but to buy time. A desperate sigh escaped Adeshan’s lips.

“Was it hidden behind the clouds...!”

I didn't notice it at all. The sound of flapping wings echoed across the scorched earth. The gale that would uproot even trees was getting closer.

No one moved. No one raised a voice. Schlieffen, the two swordsmen, even Lorhorn, were frozen and just stared at the sky where the giants were descending.

Overwhelmed by despair, they forgot that they were even breathing. Then the first giant to descend reached out. It had four wings, but was much larger than Duaru or Vasagia.

The gathered particles placed a spear of light in his hand. The giant opened his mouth, aiming at the ground.

“Ahayutega, executes the brother.”
