Chapter 761 761 Retreat and Prepare

The assault party beat a hasty retreat back through the portal and let it close behind them, but the reprieve was short-lived. Within seconds, someone was trying to open a new one, which the Seraphim shut down with a counterspell of Upper Planes magic that Wolfe had never seen before.

Wolfe brought [Kind Intentions] back up, hoping to deflect any further attempts, but the effect was not quite what he had been expecting. Instead of giving up, the portals seemed to search around until they found the edge of the effect, and then open at dozens of points around the Fae Forest at the same time.

"It looks like we're under siege." Asmodain noted, sensitive enough to mana flows to feel the portals opening in the distance.

Forest Grove definitely did not have enough of an army to deal with an invading force on that level, but it seemed that they were going to have to find a way because Wolfe didn't feel any other portals opening.

"Can I get all the Saints and Overlords to me, and then everyone under that Rank to focus on keeping [Kind Intentions] and the other barriers active? With a bit of time to prepare, we can blitz their defences, and do so much damage that they can't hold out against it.

It's the way that I have been overcoming enemies all along, and it's very effective, we just don't have enough stored firepower to deal with this threat yet." Wolfe requested.

The Demons gave him enthusiastic smiles because this meant that they were going to learn the way to make enchanted bullets, but the Fae were a bit more reluctant, concerned that they might be making things worse if they started with an all out offensive.

"Welcome, everyone, to the ammunition production room. As you know, this is generally an off limits area, but today is an exception, as we need a special batch of rounds to deal with the incoming threat. Unlike the standard Demonic practice, we will not be affording the invading humans the courtesy of holding back on the power of our attacks, as they have already sent Saint level power against us, and appear likely to again in the near future.

So, we are going to make two types of ammunition right now. Standard rifle rounds with Rank Seven Cluster Grenade spells on them, and heavy machine gun ammunition with Penetration, Wind Blade and Explosion spells imbued.

The advantage of doing it this way is that the rate of fire is much higher than the standard casting speed. So, even if our troops are evenly matched at the top ranks, we can still overpower their defences.

If you have methods to increase your mana transfer, I would request that you use them now, and I will be increasing the mana density in this area to maximize everyone's efficiency." Wolfe explained.

One of the Fae got a sneaky smile on her face and raised her hand to ask a question.

"About that spell. Can it be reversed? Because I would really like to drop an Antimagic array into the middle of the attacking army and starve their mages of mana. I don't know how much they have stored, but I bet that it's not enough to take a full volley from those rifles." She informed them with a smirk.

"I can't make the mana level zero, that isn't how the spell works, but I can make it fifty times less than it is now. I will give each group one of a steel plate if you like, and then the Wrath Demons can throw it into the enemy ranks like a Frisbee." Wolfe offered.

The Wrath Demons smiled. Other than their armour, they didn't actually use much mana in combat unless they were fighting each other. Their pure physical strength and an activated magical weapon would tear through the ranks of a human army like a natural disaster.
