Mage Veigar

Chapter 128: Retreat
Boom boom boom——

The roar of fire magic continued.

Vega couldn't remember which round of magic bombardment this was. The only thing he knew was that his subordinates were getting fewer and fewer, from the original 80 members to less than members now, and there were several wounded among them.

There is not much time left for him.

Because Vega has already seen that this horrific bombing is likely to continue until dawn.

As long as there are enough magicians, it would not be difficult to take turns to release this magic which consumes little mental and magical power for seven or eight hours.

Especially when you have air superiority.

Magicians only need to concentrate on casting magic on the ground without worrying about the threat from the enemy's air force. This can greatly speed up their spellcasting speed, as well as the recovery of their mental and magic power.

The clock is ticking.

At the current speed, in just half an hour, we will be completely away from the Kingdom Army’s key bombing area.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Because he found that at some point, a war airship had been hovering 1000 meters above their heads and was descending in altitude. When it reached 400 meters, Vega could vaguely feel the elemental fluctuations coming from above.

not good!

Veigar's heart was shaken. He immediately gave the order to hide and deployed the Mage Shield at the same time.

shhhhh--

More than a dozen flames exploded from the sky.

The scorching flames not only illuminated the darkness, but also seemed to burn the air clean.

A close call.

Veigar immediately lay down behind the cover and output the maximum mental and magical power into the Mage's Shield.

boom--

The deafening explosion caused tinnitus in Vega's ears.

The flying stones, the blast, and the collapsed huge buildings made his mage shield flicker. Fortunately, Veigar survived this round of magic bombardment.

But this is just the beginning.

The first round of magic bombardment had just ended, and the second round quickly began.

Vega didn't dare to stand up at all. He could only crawl on the ground like a mouse, because one of the professional team members showed his head and tried to escape out of fear, but was greeted by a flame explosion.

A lot of hard work.

They were about to get away from the Kingdom Army’s main bombing area.

But Vega didn't expect that he would be discovered by the enemy at the last step. If he continued to be bombarded like this, even if he had some defense of the Mage Shield, he would still die.

What to do now?
There was nothing he could do except pray.

Even the slightest movement could be noticed by the magicians on the airship.

Because when a fire magician is conducting a magic bombing, there is usually a wind magician beside him. They use the terrifying reconnaissance ability of wind magic to provide the accurate coordinates of the bombing target at high altitudes, and also play the role of protecting the fire magician. This is the conventional combat method of magicians from various countries.

After several rounds of bombing, the war airship began to descend.

Vega clenched the dagger in his hand. He knew that if he didn't run now it would be too late. As the airship descended to a certain height, the wind magicians above could easily detect the precise coordinates of the life forms below.

300 meters...

250 meters...

150 meters!
When the altitude dropped to 150 meters, Vega stood up without hesitation and shouted, "Retreat, whoever can leave is the best."

After shouting this, Vega turned and ran away.

The remaining less than 40 members of the professional brigade also stood up at the first moment and followed Vega to flee forward. As long as they stayed away from the core control area of ​​the crystal hub, the density of magic bombing would inevitably decrease, and the air-raid shelter was not far away.

But at this moment, Vega had been targeted by the war airship.

The magical elements in the sky are gathering.

Vega felt nothing but unwillingness in his heart.

He had gone through so much trouble to get here and was about to survive, but why was there a war airship in such a place? He didn't even have the ability to resist and could only passively take the beating.

boom--

Another huge roar was heard.

Just when Vega thought he was going to die, he suddenly discovered that the roar did not come from the ground, but from high in the sky. Flames had already started burning at the tail of the war airship.

How is this going?

Vega looked closely and immediately found that in the distance a wizard with a red eagle emblem on the back of his cloak was soaring into the air and flying towards the airship like a moth to a flame. His staff shone like a meteor, and for a moment, wind blades danced wildly, and the war airship was already shaky.

"Retreat, keep up with the pace!"

Vega did not remain stunned. He immediately shouted at the remaining subordinates.

While running away, Vega looked back.

He found that although the war airship was shaky, it was still rising into the air. When the airship was pulled back to an altitude of 400 meters, the wind mage's attack was no longer effective, but the flames falling from the sky could still cause damage to him.

boom--

With the final roar.

The wind mage, who was at least a lower-level mage, had died.

Because they are at a high altitude with no cover, even a lower-level mage would find it difficult to withstand the enemy's concentrated fire.

Although the lower-level mage died, Vega took the opportunity to escape from the pursuit range of the war airship. Moreover, the war airship seemed to be afraid of being attacked by anti-aircraft forces again and did not descend below 300 meters.

at last……

Come out?

Vega stared at the sky with dull eyes.

Although there were occasionally a few war airships carrying out magic bombings from above, the density of the bombings was negligible compared to the core control area of ​​the crystal hub.

Now is not the time to rejoice.

Although the threat is small enough to be negligible, it does exist.

He immediately gave orders to the remaining less than 40 team members, and asked them to move towards the largest air-raid shelter nearby. The current situation was no longer something their professional team could handle, and it was good enough that they could survive.

In the absence of carpet-style magic bombing, the entire team marched at a very fast speed and arrived at air-raid shelter No. 18 in the central area of ​​Kareni in less than half an hour.

From a distance, you can see that the air-raid shelter is already crowded with people.

Apparently many civilians came here as soon as the air raid alarm sounded.

But when Vega led his troops closer to the air-raid shelter, he suddenly discovered something wrong.

"stop."

Vega raised his right hand and gestured to stop.

Through the dim lights.

Vega took a closer look and found that the entrance to the air-raid shelter seemed to be guarded by soldiers with weapons.

There is nothing wrong with this.

However, the soldier's uniform was not of the Imperial Army style, but rather resembled that of the Kingdom Army.
