Full-time monk: I am the prophet of civilization!

Boom boom boom!!!

A series of explosions rang in my ears.

Many of the monks who survived the bombing only remembered seeing many dark figures rapidly approaching.

But before they could use magic to intercept it, the massive explosion completely shattered the general's ship.

Before these monks could even figure out what was happening, they fell into the sea one after another like dumplings.

The situation was quite different from that of the South Vietnamese pro-war faction, who poured all their resources into the war in an attempt to make a big profit.

The wealthy families who stole the country were much more shrewd. Not only did they not send out any forbidden spell-level combat forces, but they also only sent a few members of their collateral branches who were high-level mages.

The other mages were mostly ordinary mages from the Wei Fang faction, and their combat strength was significantly weaker.

Clearly, the thief did not want to offend the Holy City, so he had no choice but to send troops to attack.

Meanwhile, the wealthy families who stole the country did not want to lose too much strength, so they only sent out a small number of soldiers.

This is also why the country was unable to intercept a single missile when faced with the attack of the magic-powered missiles.

"Damn it, this was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito..."

Looking at the weak Type 1 fishing boats on the water not far away, he kept cursing.

Although magic-powered missiles are cheap to manufacture, it would definitely be profitable to use a dozen or so missiles to bombard a stolen warship.

But when Ai Guoqiang saw the misshapen melons and cracked dates he had harvested, he felt that all the preparations he had made over the past few days had been for nothing.

However, unlike Ai Guoqiang's pragmatism, Bai Ze, the PhD in magic energy technology, was all smiles.

"On the bright side, this can also be considered a practical test of the magic-powered missile."

"In the future, whether it is used against the Northern Demon Empire or against warships that steal from other countries, there will be actual combat data to support it."

(See Chapter 140, The Collection of the Vermilion Bird Jade Pendant and Totem Objects)

Upon hearing Bai Ze mention the Northern Plains Demon Empire, Ai Guoqiang's tense face, which had been furious about the theft of the country, began to gradually relax.

Being able to use these small, stolen weapons to test magical missiles, and also accelerate the process of...

For Ai Guoqiang, at least there was some gain.

Of course, most importantly, Ai Guoqiang remembered Lin Fan's previous arrangements.

Defeating the enemy is just the beginning; the ultimate goal is to reclaim the territory that Donghuang has held since ancient times.

He was really looking forward to the day he would set foot on Jeju Island in Donghuang.

Chapter 241: The Battle of Cherry Blossoms Begins, the Narwhal Group

The thought of Nan Yue's defeat and the loss of its kingdom, with even the promised attack on the Holy City being far away in OMO, left Shigesakura completely unaware...

Lin Fan, Shao Zheng, and the others all found it somewhat amusing.

However, as funny as it may be, we still need to take real combat seriously.

After all, this place has now gathered hundreds of thousands of mages and major battle groups.

Apart from the necessary troops stationed domestically, most of the mages controlled by the Chongying government and major clans have gathered here.

"As expected of Arakawa-kun, his courage is extraordinary!"

"Not only could they persuade the Emperor to invade the Eastern Empire with the full force of the nation, but they also gathered everyone here."

Taichi Utsunomiya followed behind Hiroichi Arakawa, repeatedly praising him respectfully.

"As long as we can seize this strategic location while Donghuang is preoccupied, we will be able to attack or defend as needed, no matter what happens later..."

Despite Utsunomiya Taichi's compliments, Arakawa Hiroichi maintained a stern expression, but inwardly he was already feeling quite pleased with himself.

For the past month, relying on the prestige of the Holy City, Arakawa Hiroichi has been getting whatever he wants.

He not only gained Emperor Shigeaki's favor and the promise that he would receive a share of the Earth's Essence after the war to break the forbidden spell.

He also became the commander-in-chief of this battle.

Apart from the six forbidden spellcasters who were unable to command, all other troops had to be under the command of Arakawa Hiroichi.

This is why Utsunomiya Taiji, the head of a prestigious family, would fawn over him like a lapdog.

'If we win this national war, my Arakawa family will join the ranks of the four great clans of Chongying, becoming the fifth top-tier clan!'

'No! If we win the war, my Arakawa family can even become the head of all clans!'

Looking at the massive army of mages under his command, Hirokazu Arakawa's ambition grew stronger, and his old, murky eyes shone brightly once more with the fire of ambition.

Unlike Arakawa Hiroichi, Mochizuki Meiken and Mochizuki Hachi below had furrowed brows.

Mochizuki Hachi was sent to the most dangerous front lines by Arakawa Hiroichi as a personal vendetta.

The reason for the Moonlit Sword was the hidden unease in his heart.

Unlike the ambitious Hirokazuki, Mochizuki Meiken had been swayed by his own ambitions; he had once learned about the Eastern Empire.

Even though, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the number of forbidden spells in Donghuang has decreased significantly, and its international ranking has plummeted.

However, given its large population base and existing resources, its overall combat strength remains very strong.

If it weren't for the Holy City's guarantee and the multinational joint attack, he would never have agreed to launch an attack.

Looking at the Donghuang Weifang, who were standing guard in the distance, Wangyue Mingjian felt increasingly uneasy.

But now that things have come to this, the die is cast and the die must be cast.

Before Mochizuki Meiken could figure out a solution, Chongying's vanguard had already launched an attack.

At the very front of the vanguard, a monarch-class narwhal, over a thousand meters long, sped forward like an arrow, cutting through the waves.

Following closely behind was a Dominion-class narwhal, nearly a kilometer long and resembling a warship.

Each narwhal also carries hundreds of mages of various ranks, ranging from mid-level to high-level.

This is the narwhal force that Shigeoku painstakingly built with great effort.

Led by a monarch-level narwhal king, and consisting of nearly fifty grand commander-level narwhals, the vanguard army comprises nearly 30,000 mid- to high-level mages.

Such a powerful navy would have been avoided even by the White Hawk carrier group in Lin Fan's previous life.

But this is the entire Eastern Empire of France, and Lin Fan doesn't care about this or that!

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it!"

'Three, two, one! Art is an explosion!'

Boom boom boom!!!

As the countdown in Lin Fan's mind ended, a series of violent explosions immediately rang out in the sea.

Looking into the distance, one could see columns of water rising into the sky from the sea.

Within the water column, there was also a mixture of scarlet flesh and fragmented elemental light.

In such a violent explosion, the pod of narwhals that had rushed in earlier were all disemboweled and severely injured.

More than a dozen narwhals, which bore the brunt of the explosion, were blown into pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Even the monarch-class narwhal king was badly damaged by the blast.

Especially its indestructible horn, which, in its unbridled collisions, directly confronts the explosion of elemental mines.

In the end, not only did the unicorn shatter, but the bones at its base also cracked open with gaps.

If the pod of narwhals is like this, one can only imagine the army of mages above them.

The attack by Zhang Huang was well prepared, and defensive magic such as Water Splendor Sky Curtain and Light Falling Over the Mountain had been set up in advance.

However, those spells were mostly for defense above, to protect against magical attacks from the Eastern Emperor mages.

These traditional monks never imagined that in just one year, times would have changed.

The charge of the narwhal pod, which even monarch-level demons wouldn't dare to confront head-on, was actually defeated directly from the sea.

And it happens in an instant, almost instantaneously, so fast that you can barely react.

Such a powerful elemental explosion, even with the narwhal taking the brunt of the damage, would still leave enough shockwaves to break through the enemy's defenses, severely injuring them or even killing them outright.

Even though the protective magic equipment withstood the aftershocks, the narwhal beneath her feet could no longer withstand the injuries and was rolling around in agony.

Before thousands of monks could react, they were overturned and thrown into the sea.

That's not the worst part; what's even more deadly is what happens after the elemental explosion.

The sea they inhabited was filled with various elements such as wind, fire, thunder, and ice, which constantly eroded their bodies.

If Lin Fan's past life's elder, Chongying, were here, he would surely recall this familiar feeling.

"That's really good..."

Looking at the Sakura Narwhal force in the distance, which was being blown to bits, Lin Fan acknowledged the strength of the elemental mines.

These elemental mines and the magic-powered missiles used to counter the warships that stole from other countries were products of the same era.

It not only combines techniques and principles such as fusion magic and magical energy technology, but also has special measures to address issues such as seawater obstruction and siren protection.

This is also why even the monarch-level narwhal king couldn't withstand it and almost died.

It was originally intended to deal with the Ocean Empire and give Leng Dayan a surprise.

Unexpectedly, it was given to the gluttonous cat, Chongying, first.

"The Eastern Empire will prevail!"

"The Eastern Empire will prevail!!!"

Seeing that the enemy had not even rushed up to them before being blown to pieces, the 100,000 troops sent by Donghuang were all magnificent and imposing.

However, the reaction from Chongying was completely opposite to that from Donghuang.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Looking at the narwhal force that was invincible just a second ago, heading straight for the enemy's stronghold.

The next second, they were blown to bits, their ranks utterly destroyed.

Arakawa Hiroichi did not fly into a rage, but instead rubbed his old eyes in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.

"There's no aura of forbidden spells, not even the person casting the spell..."

"The narwhal unit..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"

The unexpected scene led Hirokazu Arakawa to repeatedly deny it.

Chapter 242 Magic Energy Missile: This is our exhilarating combination technique!

Not only Arakawa Hiroichi, but even the several members of the Cherry Blossom Forbidden Curse who accompanied him were dumbfounded.

Although they could do such a thing with their abilities, it would still require casting magic...

The sight before him, completely devoid of any trace of spellcasting, left Yi Xin Huangshi momentarily stunned.

Finally, the well-informed Sugawara clan member narrowed his eyes slightly and gave an uncertain explanation.

"This should be a new type of trigger-type magical artifact developed by Donghuang, belonging to the category of disposable magical artifacts..."

"So, you're saying their numbers are limited?!"

Upon hearing Sugawara's words about the forbidden spell, Arakawa Hiroichi felt as if he had found a lifeline. His eyes immediately regained their light, and he hurriedly asked.

"I'm not sure how many there are, but no matter how many of these magical artifacts there are, a single Cataclysmic Tsunami can easily wipe them out!"

Any trigger-type magical artifact will be triggered or destroyed upon being attacked; this has been a law throughout the entire world of magic for many years.

Sugawara no Shiki believes that these disposable magical artifacts from the Eastern Empire are also like that.

The Sugawara clan possessed the largest collection of books and the most knowledge among the Shigesaku clan. As a forbidden curse of the Sugawara clan, the Sugawara family was undoubtedly the most learned among the Shigesaku clan.

His words quickly convinced Hiroichi Arakawa, who had just begun to doubt the meaning of life, and he regained his spirits.

"Hey! I'm giving the order right now, water-elemental super-level mages, prepare for a cataclysmic tsunami!"

However, before Hiroki Arakawa could give the order, a strong sense of unease instantly spread to everyone in the room.
