After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

"The Silver Empire... will never fear being an enemy of a legend."

.......

"jingle--"

"jingle--"

A crisp notification sound rang out from Roland's knight's armor... breaking the previous oppressive silence.

The female knight swiftly reached out and took out a crystal...

A few short lines of text slowly emerged on the surface of the crystal.

Xia Er could tell that it was a magical tool inscribed with a communication array, quite similar to the sound transmission magic crystals commonly used in the Western Continent.

Of course, after the establishment of wide area communication networks, this old-fashioned device, which could only transmit brief text and voice messages, was replaced by smart terminals with many times more powerful functions.

If we were to draw an analogy... it would be roughly the difference between a mobile phone and a smartphone in Ciel's previous life.

The third surface energy fortress has been besieged by the Titan Legion... The main force of this beast tide attack consists of burrowing wild beasts...

This includes thirteen high-level wild beasts and six near-legendary or near-legendary beasts.

[And—the Third Colossus]

Codename "Mountain"

[The wild beasts near the Second and First Energy Fortresses also showed unusual activity... The Sixth Colossus—codenamed "Wildfire"—and the Fourth Colossus—codenamed "Frostrock"—appeared one after another, causing the garrisoned Legendary Warriors to dare not go to reinforce the Third Energy Fortress.]

The Third Energy Fortress is currently only defended by the "Flame Scholar," leaving its defenses severely insufficient. The Holy City is requested to send reinforcements immediately...

.......

After reading the message in the telepathic magic crystal...

Roland's expression changed in an instant.

Energy Fortress —

In layman's terms... these are the mining sites for magic crystal veins.

In any real-time strategy (RTS) game, the mine is the lifeline of all players, directly determining their economy.

Once all the mining sites are destroyed, it means that the player has lost all future development prospects and has no choice but to go all-in.

Now that the holy city has ascended into the sky, consuming massive amounts of energy every moment—

The magic crystal mines are the lifeblood of the Silver Empire.

Furthermore, what only a handful of people in the Holy City know is...

In those dozens of restarts... almost every time the holy city fell, it was directly related to the fall of the energy fortress on the ground.

The remaining three energy fortresses fell one after another to the giants' war ravages, making it impossible for the Holy City to maintain its energy reserves.

Therefore, they had no choice but to forcibly launch plans such as the "Bow of the Gods," which risked the fate of the nation, in an attempt to seize a glimmer of hope.

"Your Excellency, there has been an emergency, so I must take my leave."

Roland spoke to Charles with a serious expression.

"The gates of the holy city will always be open to you—"

"but--"

"Please remember what I just said."

She put the mithril helmet she had taken off back on, and the mithril clashed against the steel armor, producing a clanging sound.

Roland gave Charles a slight nod, then quickly turned and walked toward his dragon mount.

.......

Unlike the world of Dawn, which has experienced a great catastrophe, where only one in ten survivors remains and life is barely surviving, and where people cling tightly to any straw they find for salvation.

Silver Continent... This is a proud civilization.

And they have every right to be proud—

To unify the entire continent...

Despite centuries of struggle against the relentless covetousness of false gods, they have never truly been defeated.

so......

Even though the Holy City was currently severely lacking in legendary experts, Roland had no intention of asking Charles for help...

Even if the other party is a wizard, inherently opposed to the gods, and can be considered an ally of the Silver Continent...

But Charles comes from another dimension; he has neither the need nor the responsibility to fight for the Holy City or the Silver Continent...

Moreover... this is a war between the entire human civilization and the gods.

A legend of unknown origin... Even considering that he can travel between planes, he should not be considered weak among legends.

However, faced with such a grand holy war between God and man...

Even a legend can do far too little.

Even if we actually join the war, it won't change anything...

Just as Roland mounted the dragon, preparing to head to the third fortress for support.

A calm voice slowly rang in her ears.

"The third energy fortress you speak of—"

"This must be it..."

Roland turned around in astonishment.

Then--

She then saw the magical light screen slowly projected from Charles's hand.

Within the light screen is a three-dimensional map of the entire Silver Continent.

Not only the holy city suspended high in the sky, but also several ground energy fortresses of the Silver Empire... even the colossi slowly moving around the fortresses were visible.

A scan of a legendary mage's mental power!

Roland reacted quickly, but then, instinctively, she covered her mouth because of her astonishing conjecture.

For a typical legendary mage, the limit is already the ability to cover a small town with their mental power.

He'd only been in this world for a few hours... yet he was able to survey the entire continent...

Is this... really something a legendary mage could do?

Before Roland could even react—

"It seems... the location is correct."

That calm voice followed immediately.

next moment.

Within the holy city, countless exclamations rang out.

Roland looked up sharply and saw that the endless sky outside the Holy City suddenly darkened in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, thick and dense dark clouds, as if to cover the entire sky, enveloped the entire sky.

.......

A rapid notification sound rang out frantically in Roland's communication magic crystal.

[An extremely alarming surge of magical energy has appeared above the Third Energy Fortress... The magnitude of the magical energy surge exceeds the limit of the measuring instrument and is difficult to measure!]

[Holy City! What's going on?]

Is this a new, overpowered forbidden spell created by the Arcane Academy? Why haven't we received any notification?

The Colossus Legion has completely surrounded the Third Energy Fortress. If they launch a large-scale, military-level attack, it will inevitably affect the fortress itself!

Our soldiers don't have the vitality of giants! This is a foolish thing to do, harming the enemy eight hundred while losing a thousand of our own!

[Quickly! Get those lunatics at the Arcane Academy to cancel this thing!]

[I'll repeat myself! Get those lunatics at the Arcane Academy to cancel this thing!]

The voices of messengers rang out one after another, creating a chaotic scene.

however--

Roland remained silent, gazing at the black-haired, black-eyed wizard before him.

It wasn't that she didn't want to stop the wizard in front of her—

In fact, the moment the magical fluctuations began, she reacted immediately and prepared to interrupt the madman in front of her.

Even if he seems to want to help his side deal with the attacking giant... what is he trying to do by launching a forbidden spell of this scale that targets a wide area?

She thought the legendary mages in the Arcane Academy who would throw high-explosive bombs at Titans and false gods at the slightest provocation were crazy enough... but she never expected that this mysterious Planeswalker would be even more outrageous.

Does he intend to annihilate the garrison in the Third Energy Fortress as well?

The human body is made of flesh and blood...
