Mage Veigar

Chapter 558 Everyone Shows Their Magical Powers

Ropes City, headquarters of operations.

Five hours ago, the weather was sunny and windy in Ropus City. Foster stood on the tall city wall and looked far to the north.

There is a vast land and his hometown, Kareni.

Unfortunately, under the enemy's attack, his hometown had fallen, and the familiar plants and trees in the north had become the property of the dynasty. As the commander-in-chief of the northern front, he not only had no ability to take everything back, but also humiliated himself by cutting off all ties between Ropes City and the north, and hiding here, not daring to move even a step.

"When will I be able to get rid of this humiliation?"

Foster's eyes were filled with sadness, but he also understood that impatience could lead to the ruin of great plans. If he could not suppress his desire for revenge now, he might really lose the North forever.

Foster knew what he should do.

Now he must hold this place and preserve the key to taking back the North for the Empire.

"Three months to go."

Foster murmured to himself that after winter, the combat effectiveness of the four million reservists and other middle and senior officers would be restored, and a small-scale counterattack would be launched. When early spring comes, they will launch a full-scale counterattack.

In their plans.

Winter is not suitable for marching, so they use small-scale counterattacks to train their troops nearby. When early spring arrives and the weather warms up, they have to recover their territory within five months. In the next autumn, the empire will begin to take action against all the countries in the east.

Three years.

No! In the Empire's plan, they would unify the east within two years, while looking to the west of the Jialan Mountains. This was a big move that the Empire had been preparing for generations, and it was supposed to achieve this effect.

"But can I hold out until early winter?"

Foster suddenly became unconfident at this time. Vega's record of winning every battle and conquering every city made Foster feel insecure, because Vega's way of winning each time was different, and most of them were not replicable. It was difficult to predict his next move by analyzing his past battle history.

Da da da--

Foster paced back and forth on the city wall.

Then a few minutes later he turned around and looked down at the military air port of Ropes City, where a number of huge war airships were docked. From this angle, they looked like ferocious prehistoric beasts.

In the military air port.

Soldiers came and went, most of them were high-ranking military personnel, and the entire airport was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

“This is where my confidence comes from!”

Foster suddenly smiled. At this moment he no longer doubted his ability, because this battle did not require any command ability from him. These five air forces were his confidence.

All ground routes have been cut off.

In the air, he has elite air force defense.

Under this premise, Foster believed that even if Vega had extraordinary talent, he would not be able to take over the city of Lopus... No, it should be said that if Vega could move his troops here within three months, Foster would be convinced of Vega.

Walk down the tower.

Foster personally went to the military air port to express his condolences.

When he finished his condolences and left the airport, the setting sun was already hanging in the sky. Under the golden afterglow, the hideous hull of the war airship made people sigh at the insignificance of individual strength and the powerful military force of the empire.

Foster paused.

He knocked heavily on the solid hull, and his uneasy mood was instantly under control. Only then did he finally leave the military airport where the Northern Hope was docked without looking back.

The time came to seven o'clock in the evening.

The sun had completely set, and the flickering magic lights added a touch of light to the city, and the city of Ropus fell into silence.

But this is really just a moment of tranquility before the curtain opens. After this moment of tranquility - boom!
A meteor-like dazzling meteorite streaked across the dark sky, and a hurricane like a roaring dragon broke the tranquility of the city of Ropus.

Fire Meteorite is the most powerful fire magic in existence for both individual and group targets.

Hurricane is the only remaining wind magic with destructive power comparable to meteorite.

The wind fanned the flames, and when the two were combined, the war airship's behemoth-like hull was as vulnerable as thin paper.

"Opening with a meteorite and a hurricane? I like it!"

A one-eyed man grinned and said to the four people behind him: "It's our turn. Let the Empire have a good taste of the power of their new Shadow Mage combat uniforms."

The words fell.

The five people including the big man all disappeared into thin air. This is the most basic trick of the shadow mage.

So a few minutes later, the Word Wizards in the military airport let out wailing sounds. They all died in the same way, all killed by a single blow from the Shadow Wizard.

But the terrifying thing is that during this process, no Word Mage noticed that a Shadow Mage was approaching.

That was the function of the new combat uniform of the Judgment System. The Word Spirit Mages of the Empire had never thought that the equipment they made themselves would be used against themselves. Losing the Word Spirit Mages meant that the war airships could not take off.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The imperial army, which realized the situation belatedly, finally sounded the alarm.

According to the usual emergency procedures, they have to get the war airship into the air in the shortest possible time to ensure that the war airship is not destroyed.

But one wave is not flat, and another wave rises again.

The mages hurried out of the dormitory, but before they took two steps, bursts of explosions were heard from underground. Without any prompting, the entire mage team was blown into the sky.

"Damn it, goblin bomb! That's the Free Alliance's goblin bomb!"

An experienced old wizard shouted in a hurry: "Everyone, don't move. Once you step on the goblin bomb, it will explode immediately. Let the Word Spirit Wizard immediately defuse the goblin bomb, and the Wind Wizard immediately take off to protect the safety of the war airship."

"Yes, Captain."

Several wind mages had just taken off when several rune arrows came rushing over from a tall building in the distance. They pierced the mages' shields and shot into their hearts. The wind mages' bodies fell to the ground and activated the goblin bombs, instantly engulfing another team of mages.

"It's the Rune Arrow of the Hundred Tribes. Damn it!"

The old wizard's forehead was already sweating. The Free Alliance did not have magicians, but their goblins invented goblin bombs that were no weaker than magic; the Free Alliance did not have professionals, but they had giants who were stronger than professionals; the Free Alliance did not have war airships, but they had phantom feathers that were more flexible and agile than war airships...

The old wizard has begun to suspect that today's attackers are from the Free Alliance.

However, when he saw the Rune Arrows, the signature of the Hundred Races Tribe, he couldn't help but doubt whether his judgment was accurate. In addition, the enemy seemed to have a new type of combat uniform recently developed by the Imperial Military Research Institute that could hide from the detection capabilities of the Word Spirit Mages.

"Who is the enemy?"

Foster, who had just received the battle report, could not help but question the head of the reconnaissance group. He said angrily, "I need you to find out the identity of the enemy in the shortest possible time and find a way to keep the airport, or at least get the war airship up as soon as possible."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task."

The assurances of the head of the reconnaissance regiment were of no use. The military airport was already in chaos. Without quelling the internal strife in the airport, it would be almost impossible to get all the airships to take off in a short period of time.

After all, one less wind or fire mage ship isn't a big problem.

If there is no Word Spirit Mage, the airship basically cannot fly.

Just when the internal situation was in chaos, something even worse happened.

The emergency distress signal from the front-line patrol airship was sent to the Air Force Command, because an extremely large air force of unknown origin was slowly approaching the direction of Ropes City.
