The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 122 Mind Flayer Slave Legion Eldoron War Magic
In the southern part of the human kingdom of Eldoron, and the northern part of the Emerald Mountains controlled by the Green Dragon Lord, lies a vast, uninhabited wasteland.

One cave, crypt, and passageway after another leads to the "dark realm" of the underworld.

Numerous figures, large and small, roared and surged forth.

"For my master..."

"For the great mastermind..."

"For the glory of the future empire..."

Goblins, kobolds, orcs, gnolls, war lizardmen, dinosaurs, ogres, trolls, cave giants, rudimentary giants, murlocs...

A vast number of monsters with lifeless eyes surged from the underground world to the surface.

The Mind Flayer's "Legion of Slaves"!
Ten years ago, the Mind Flayer fleet, which had traveled through time, was scattered in the temporal turbulence.

Of the 72 spaceships, one was not a regular spaceship responsible for main combat and crashed into the ground beneath the continent.

Hundreds of Mind Flayers disembarked from the damaged spaceship and established a city in this underground world.

Over the past decade, the Mind Flayers have used their future power to dominate the minds of all nations, flourishing underground and constantly controlling and brainwashing various creatures.

Whether they were native inhabitants of the underground world or orc tribes and gnoll tribes whose settlements were located near caves leading to the underground world, they could not escape the fate of becoming mind flayer slaves.

Now, to ensure the smooth progress of the mastermind's plan, this slave army of 1 men has arrived on the surface and is rushing towards Eldoron!

"Eldoron, the nation that will destroy humanity..."

"For the sake of the master, eliminate the destabilizing factors in this plan..."

"To extinguish the endless sun, and to silence the light..."

Many of the slaves had a bloodshot look in their bewildered eyes, their veins bulging, and every muscle creaking and groaning, yearning for slaughter. Their bodies seemed to be protected by some invisible, solid force field.

—【Psionic Bloodlust】(Psychic Ability)!
——【Inert Armor】(Psionic Ability)!
Apart from lacking legendary combat power, this slave legion, enhanced by psionic energy, is even stronger than the combined forces of the three great Sun Elf families that once attacked Eldoron!

"Kill!"

The mighty army of slaves charged toward the southern border of Eldoron!

……

Eldoron's southern frontier.

Inside a heavily fortified bunker.

"Something terrible has happened, Lady Cassandra."

"Many war lizardmen, dinosaurs, murlocs, rudimentary giants... and other random creatures suddenly emerged from various caves and burrows, and attacked our position!"

"They are expected to reach the banks of the Xiyu River within ten minutes!"

"Huh? Where did these monsters come from?" Cassandra was completely bewildered.
"Was this a contingency plan prepared in advance by the Green Dragon Lord Emerald?"

If it's just dealing with the half-dragon legion, then it's not so bad.

However, if we add a terrifying army of monsters that emerges from underground, things will become much more difficult.

Cassandra made a decision immediately:

"Quickly send a [Short Message] to inform His Majesty Elion that the situation on the southern border is dire."

"Please, His Majesty El-Erian, send them back immediately to provide reinforcements!"

The princess's disappearance is a matter for the elves.

The crisis facing our human kingdom of Eldoron is the most pressing issue that needs to be addressed right now!

…………

High in the sky above Peace Town, south of Eldoron.

The floating city was flying at full power at top speed, moving southward with a whooshing sound.

"General Thor, the situation is dire!"

"Wyverns carrying a large number of half-dragon soldiers, along with a multitude of monsters emerging from the ground, will soon arrive at our frontier defenses!"

"The Archmage Cassandra has already sent a message to His Majesty Elion in the underworld, requesting that he lead his high-level forces back to provide reinforcements..."

General Thor stood by the fence of the floating city, listening to his subordinates' reports, his expression solemn yet not fearful.

The imperial general slightly raised his chin, turning his gaze southward to the distant Jade Washing River, which appeared as a thin line in the night sky.
"The Jade Washing River, what a place to miss..." In the first year of the empire, he led battle mages to drive out the three great orc clans and erected a stone tablet in front of the river.

Now, as described in the past, another group of enemies is attempting to cross the river and invade the land of Eldoron.

Fortunately, Eldoron is no longer the Eldoron of yesteryear.

General Saul shook his head:

"His Majesty El-Erian has gone deep underground and is carrying out an important mission."

"If His Majesty can return in time, that would be best. But we cannot count on that."

"We must rely on our own strength to repel the enemy!"

General Saul suddenly turned around and waved his hand forcefully:

"Immediately issue an order to the entire floating city of Eldoron to begin the [Eldoron War Magic] ritual."

As the military leader of the Eldorian battle mages, General Thor has witnessed the rapid increase in the number of spellcasters in Eldorian over the past decade, and has seen a more coordinated and powerful army of battle mages gradually take shape. He has been trying to develop a large-scale "military ritual magic"—

By combining the power of a vast number of weak and low-level spellcasters, a legendary level of magical effect with a huge range can be achieved for military operations!
However, during the development of this ritual magic, various technical problems were encountered, and the effect fell far short of General Thor's expectations.

He consulted His Majesty El-Erian on this matter many times, and El-Erian provided corresponding guidance, helping to overcome most of the technical difficulties.

However, many of Elian's magical ideas were too advanced for outsiders to understand, and in the end, there was a key bottleneck that Elian described as "This place is very simple, isn't it? What exactly did you not understand?" that he could not overcome.

Until a little over a month ago, the elven delegation visited.

After exchanging experiences with the legendary mages Prince Seymour and Princess Leah, as well as other high-ranking mages, General Thor finally understood and completely overcame the last minor bottleneck!
The ritual for the 【Eldoron War Magic】is complete!

"I originally wanted to conduct more verification exercises, but it seems I can't wait any longer; we must put it into actual combat now!"

The Imperial General's order immediately spread throughout the entire floating city of Eldoron in the darkness of night.

The mage who was studying hard at night put down his book, the mage who was conducting research in the alchemy laboratory stopped his work, and the mage who was sleeping got out of bed.

"A formidable enemy is at hand."

"The entire city of Eldorum must unite!"

"If we fail to repel the enemy, those two-legged dragons carrying the half-dragon soldiers will surely fly up to the floating city and kill us!"

"Wait, my home is in Peace Town, right next to the southern border. I'm just studying in this floating city. Please, my family must be safe!"

"Haha, back in the day, as a battle mage captain, I followed General Thor and burned Bloodscar Canyon, making those orcs cry out in agony. This time, with the Green Dragon Lord's army invading, we'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

"..."

The monks mobilized as a group.

Or they might stay in their room, sit cross-legged, and chant incantations loudly, sending their magic far away;

Or they might step out of their room and arrive at a specific location in the square, where they would join other monks to perform the ritual.

This is another achievement of El-Erian's 11 years of reforms—

Unite the entire Eldorum so that they can work together with one heart and one mind in the face of adversity!
…………

Beside the fence of the floating city.

In front of an exquisite and beautiful villa.

dong dong dong.

"Ms. Aenelia, I'm a little embarrassed, but Eldoron is facing a huge crisis right now. As a high-ranking sixth-circle mage, could you help us out?"

"All you need to do is follow the fixed procedure and contribute a portion of your magic to the ritual."

Several battle mages knocked anxiously on the door of the Ain Villa.

However, the room was quiet, and there was no response.

Inside Aion's house.

The embodiment of the goddess of knowledge, Aion, sat on the sofa, eyes closed, motionless.

She seemed completely oblivious to the turmoil of the night, to the chaotic sounds all around, as if her mind was elsewhere.

On the distant star "Hada," the god of knowledge, Aion, discovered important information, so much so that he devoted all his attention and energy to that place!
