"... This looks like it will be easier than I thought"
Taufik said as soon as he knew who was on the ship.
---------------
- Fleet of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Leo Vl, who acts as the fleet leader, is seen communicating with Basileios I Makedonia via Magic Transmission ball-shaped
'... WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?"
"Forgive me, Emperor, but the immortal army suddenly wants to end our cooperation"
'WHY! IS IT THE MONEY? IS THE MONEY NOT ENOUGH?'
Basileios I Makedonia's angry voice was heard from a glowing ball in front of Leo Vl.
"No, Emperor, it seems the red queen herself wanted to end our cooperation, besides that, we don't have any more information"
'...
*Sigh*
Are they also interested in the kingdom's technology?'
"The possibility is high, Emperor"
'... Then, what about the Bulgarian Empire, what is the situation?'
"For that, at this time our situation cannot attack each other, so cooperation between both parties has been agreed upon, we promise to jointly attack the nameless kingdom, and the loot will be divided equally, our side can do nothing but agree because their fleet is bigger than ours, Emperor, moreover with the immortal army that broke our cooperation, we are in a disadvantageous situation"
'...
*CRASH!!*
If I know this will happen, I should send more ships; it's all because of that red bitch! How could she suddenly terminate the cooperation like that without any further explanation?'
"..."
'... Okay Leo, do as planned, as for the final result, we will talk about it later'
"As your command, Emperor"
Said Leo Vl, and after that, the light produced by the ball in front of him slowly began to dim, and Basileios I Makedonia's voice could no longer be heard.
*Knock~Knock~Knock~*
"Enter"
Leo said when he heard a knock on the cabin door, and after that, a soldier entered and immediately knelt in front of Leo.
"My lord... We can now see the condition of the island clearly"
"So what do you see?"
"... It looks like they've finished getting ready to welcome us"
"... They are?"
Leo asked, a little surprised because he wasn't expecting it.
"Yes, My lord"
"Heh~ They have quite the guts to still want to fight after seeing such a large fleet coming towards them, so how many are there?"
"Their numbers did not reach five hundred, My Lord... But the Magicians noticed something strange"
"... Something strange?"
"Yes, My Lord, they said they see a Skeleton, a large number of skeletons"
"Skeleton? Are you sure they didn't see it wrong?"
"No, My Lord, they have checked many times and what they saw was indeed Skeletons, and also... they are moving"
"..."
"..."
"... They what?"
*knock~ knock~ knock~*
Before he could get out of his confusion because of what the soldier said, the knocking sound was heard again. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"... Enter!"
After saying that, just like before, a soldier came in and immediately knelt in front of Leo.
"Report, My Lord, "Target is within range, we await your orders"
Said the soldier who had just entered. Hearing this, as if forgetting his previous confusion, Leo stood up from his chair with a grin on his face and then said.
"... Tell The Magician to get ready, and also inform the Bulgarian Empire that we will start an attack"
"As you command, My Lord" X2
----------------
- Kingdom of Saranjana.
"Your Majesty, The enemy is within our magic attack range, should we attack first?"
Asked Briel, who, as a Magician, she and the Magician Troop she led were positioned at the back as the main attacker and also as support.
"... No, Save your mana as much as possible, just create a barrier to protect the troops"
"... Barrier, Your Majesty?"
Briel asked, a little confused by Taufik's order to create a barrier when no attacks were visible yet.
"Yes, is for that"
Said Taufik while pointing towards the sea where the fleets were.
Briel then looked in the direction where Taufik's hand was pointing, but she saw no attacks or even magic cast by the enemy.
"Just do it"
"... As you wish, Your Majesty...
Briel answered, who then turned to look at her troops.
... Cast a large Scala Barrier to protect the troops!"
Hearing Briel's command, the Magician Troops, which only numbered dozens, began to chant spells, and a few moments later, a large magic circle appeared right in front of the entire troop, and a moment later, a transparent screen appeared in front of the entire troop.
"... It's done, Your Majesty"
"Great Job"
Taufik praised while nodding his head, and then he activated his All-Seeing Eyes.
A few moments later something that shocked the entire squad and even Briel happened.
Suddenly the sky was decorated with various magical attacks.
*BOOM!!*
Explosion after explosion from the magic attacks hitting the barrier was heard, and seeing this, the troops naturally fell into panic; fortunately, with the quick action of Sir Axel, who skillfully calmed the troops, the situation was brought under control.
"... They coated their attacks with invisible magic, what a cunning move"
Briel commented while watching the magic attacks that were still continuing.
"Well~ this is a war, we can't expect our enemies to attack fairly, right?"
Hearing what Taufik said, Briel could only grit her teeth, but because what Taufik said was true, Briel couldn't say anything, other than focusing on the battlefield.
"... The Barrier! Strengthen the Barrier!!"
Briel ordered the Magician troops she led, and the Magicians increased their Mana input to strengthen the Barrier.
Explosions continued to be heard for several minutes, before finally stopping.
"A- Are they already done?"
"Nope, look over there, This time they didn't use invisibility magic at all, probably because they thought it wouldn't work again"
Hearing this, Briel looked towards the fleet at sea, and sure enough, two of the three great fleets, namely the fleets from the Eastern Roman Empire and the Bulgarian Empire, each created a large magic circle.
"!!!"
Seeing Briel's surprised face, Taufik asked.
"Do you know what kind of spell is that, Briel?"
"... I- I do, Your Majesty, It's an Advanced Fire and Wind Magic"
"Ohh~ Interesting~"
Taufik said, already knowing what his enemy wanted to do, but Briel, who saw this, looked scared.
"... Y- Your Majesty, How can you remain so calm? What should we do next? T- They have launched their attack, Your Majesty!!"
Briel said, seeing the fire and wind magic attacks coming high towards them, the two magics continued to slide, and at one point, the two magics met and combined to create a very large storm of fire and the attack was aimed at them.
"Y-YOUR MAJESTY!!?"
"You're overreacting, no need to panic so much, immediately execute the earth wall magic"
"Earth wall, Yes! Earth Wall!... Cast earth wall magic, immediately!!" Briel orders her troops.
Then, the Barrier disappeared, and just before the firestorm magic could hit the troops, the magic of the Magician troops was timely completed, and a large, thick wall made of earth appeared in front of the troops, and protected them from the firestorm magic.
Explosions rang out again; the remnants of the firestorm magic that the Earth Wall couldn't block passed by both sides of the troops and hit the skeletons that were not within the protection range of the Earth Wall magic, but a few moments later, they rose again because of Kl'lara.
Seeing this, Briel and the other Magicians looked relieved, but after casting two large-scale Magic Spells twice, their Mana was currently low.
Experience more on m v|l -NovelFire.net
That was understandable because, after all, the average level of Magicians here was only in the Intermediate Realm, and only a few were in the Advanced Realm, including Briel.
"Huuft~ Your Majesty, Our current Mana Level is no longer capable of using large-scale magic anymore"
"It's okay because there will be no more large-scale magic attacks"
Taufik said, hearing this, Briel looked at the battlefield, but because the Earth Wall was still there protecting his view, Briel couldn't see anything.
But because she had experienced several times that what Taufik said was always true, this time Briel immediately believed it, and sure enough, when the Earth Wall collapsed, small boats carrying soldiers had already docked on the beach, and there were a lot of them.
And as expected from the Army of the great Empire, as soon as they landed on the beach, they quickly formed up, as if they had done this hundreds of times.
It was only a few minutes, and they were able to successfully form a solid formation. The troops from the Eastern Roman Empire and the Bulgarian Empire formed a formation with the Magicians from the two combined Empires behind them.
Meanwhile, the fleet was behind, ready with its weapons ready to be fired at any time.
Even with the sight of the combined forces of the two great Empires that might reach or even exceed two thousand and a fleet of ships ready behind and hundreds of Magicians who still had stable Mana, Sir Axel did not even flinch.
Both sides were silent as if waiting for who would attack first, it continued until...
