Otherwise, you can find another savior.

The crow with beautiful black feathers flapped its wings, slowly landed, and stood on Shiomi's outstretched arm.

Wu Ning.

A familiar sent by Grimm.

Originally one of Odin's ravens, Grimm, as the Great God's agent, was also able to command them.

"What's wrong?" Jian saw a flash of rune words on Wu Ning's body.

The message condensed by magic has been conveyed to Shiomi.

"...How fast! The northern goblin army has already entered the northern plains." Shiomi quickly wrote a reply in runes and released the crow. "Reinek, lead the Fang goblins immediately. There's no need to divide the forces. I estimate that the northern goblins have already started fighting with the Wind and Wing clans in Manchester."

At a command, Reinek immediately stood up and commanded the thousands of tooth goblins who came out to gallop across the field, following the direction of the road and heading towards the plain in the northwest.

Dust and grass flew all over the field. Shiomi used her sleeves to protect Bawan Xi and Tetrot together with Ash to prevent them from being accidentally stepped on by the Fang Fairies.

In this brief torrent, Shiomi and Ash remained motionless, like isolated islands.

When all the Fang goblins set off, they were the only ones left.

"Aren't we going to the battlefield?"

"With Grimm here, the battle line won't collapse anytime soon." Shiomi felt the wind. "The Earth Clan... Hector has been with us for five or six hundred years. He knows what to do even without instructions. He's probably already set out with his troops and supplies. Let's go and join them."

"If it's the Black Knight, we shouldn't have to worry about it," Ash said, suddenly startled. "Are you worried that the northern elves will launch a surprise attack and rob the Earth Clan of their military supplies being shipped to the front lines?"

Xi Jian immediately smiled:

"Your guess is accurate."

Chapter 58: Supporting the Rear

The area of ​​the entire British Empire is almost the same as in pan-human history, a little over 20 square kilometers.

For Shiomi, who had lived all over the world, this area of ​​land was not large. Moreover, he and Ash had plenty of time to travel, so Shiomi rarely thought about the distance.

Except the war has already begun.

Even with Rune protecting their legs, it would still take them about a day to run across the fields and head east towards Norwich to meet up with the Black Knight Hector.

“It would be nice to have a car.”

The next day, it was too bright. After resting, Shiomi used rune magic to protect everyone's legs again and sighed casually.

"A cart? I remember there are some fairies in the Fang Clan who are good at pulling carts." Ash said, "Is that not possible?"

It's not that there are no cars in the fairy kingdom, but there is a lack of large fantasy species like horses.

Therefore, after the car was invented by the captive humans, it was only pulled by lower-level fairies or humans as a means of short-distance transportation.

"If you don't mind, I can pull a cart." Bawan Xi suddenly suggested, "When I was in the Wing Clan, I also pulled a cart..."

Xijian couldn't help but frown: "That's just them bullying you, right?"

"But I--" Bawan Xi wanted to do something for the respected sage and witch.

"Don't worry. I'm glad you can travel with us as a companion." Ash touched Bawan Xi's face. "So cheer up."

"...Yeah." Bawan Xi felt a little regretful, but also obedient.

Tetrot rode on the spinning wheel. "Ash and Shiomi both know some kind of magic, right? Can't they use magic to make the wheel move?"

"If we lack a power source, we'll need a lot of magic power." Shiomi pinched his chin. "It would be fine if it were normal times, but now we could be in a war at any time, so we need to use our magic power—"

Jian twirled his fingers in the air. "I remember Tianxi always said that the air in Britain is very dense with magic?"

"Of course, after all, this place is still in a state similar to the Age of Gods..." Shiomi was halfway through his sentence when he realized that he had overlooked something.

Having lived in this world for too long, he had long since become accustomed to Britain's god-like environment, and took the thick true ether in the atmosphere for granted.

"It seems my husband has figured it out too," Ash said with a smile. "As long as we devise a technique to efficiently convert the magic energy in the atmosphere into power, the car will be able to move without anyone pulling it, right?"

Xijian nodded: "It is indeed feasible in theory, but the time..."

"If we design and build it together, it can be done in half a day at most." Ash looked at Shiomi. "My husband should have some blueprints that we can use, right?"

“…It’s true.” Xijian pointed to his head.

After returning from the Sixth Singularity, during the time he was preparing in Chaldea, he looked at the improved version of Leonardo da Vinci's dune buggy design.

This is an all-terrain vehicle that uses the magic power of the atmosphere of the Age of Gods as its source of magic power, but there was no chance to use it during the subsequent singularity exploration.

After all, in Uruk, the entire Uruk was behind Chaldea.

As for why Shiomi still remembered it, it was because Morgan said that he would need it in the future, so he used magic and suggestion to help him completely engrave the design drawings into his memory.

When necessary, he can reproduce the design through magic.

Was it because of this consideration, or was it because I had already experienced it, that I made the corresponding preparations to allow this experience to be fully concluded?

Xijian smiled inwardly.

Quickly launch into action with Ash, felling trees in the forest, cutting and modifying them with magic and weapons.

Finally, after completing the task at noon, the group boarded the all-terrain magic-powered vehicle. Although the road had not been well-maintained, the bumps were alleviated by the shock-absorbing technique.

The journey, which originally took a day, was now faster due to changes in transportation methods.

"Hahahaha! What a fast speed!"

Tetrot held on to the handrail and watched the scenery of the wilderness quickly passing by behind him.

"It's a pity that now is not the time for sightseeing, otherwise we could go slower." Jian replied.

Bawan Xi looked around in surprise, her brain still unable to digest the news for a moment. The only thing she was sure of was that this journey was full of novelty and happiness.

"But even so, I'm very happy, My Lady Witch." Bawan Xi held down her flying hair and told Jian about her feelings, receiving a satisfied nod from Jian in response.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your happy mood!" Shiomi, who was in charge of driving, suddenly interrupted, "I'm going to brake, hold on tight!"

The car suddenly did a tailspin, leaving four tracks of mud on the field.

The reason for braking is also very simple.

There is a battlefield ahead, where two armies are fighting.

One of them is the Earth Clan led by the Black Knight Hector, who are guarding the military supplies parked on the road.

The other group was attacking and looting, and they were obviously northern goblins.

"Are you planning to cross the forests and mountains and launch a surprise attack on the rear from the east?" Jian jumped out of the car.

Shiomi's hand trembled, and Longinus held it in his hand.

"No matter what the situation is, we have to help first." Xi Jian turned around and said, "Teterot, you and Bawan Xi will be responsible for protecting the car."

"Leave this treasure to me." Tetrot took it confidently.

Ash and Shiomi exchanged glances, then quickly rushed to the battlefield and joined the defensive battle.

After the halberd that was stabbed at the Black Knight from behind was broken by Ash's magic, Hector noticed the enemy behind him and immediately turned around to fight back, smashing down the hammer in his hand and landing on the enemy's armor.

The enemy's armor caved inward, and with the muffled sound of bones breaking, he fell to the ground.

"Witch-sama, Sage-sama?" Hector was somewhat surprised when he saw the two of them. "How could the two of you—"

Shiomi controlled two red spears to fly across the battlefield, piercing one enemy soldier after another.

"Of course, we're here to support the Earth Clan. The northern goblins have already begun attacking Manchester. The war has begun, and what follows is a battle for survival between your clans and the northern goblins."

"Did the wise master come true?"

Hector, a dwarf goblin who was only 1.3 meters tall, heavily knocked over a hostile goblin who was 2 meters tall.

"Let's stop chatting and reminiscing about the past. Let's defeat the enemies here first."

As she spoke, she gripped the wand with both hands, and the magic power stirred up gusts of wind, and her body gradually floated into the sky.

"Then you will initiate the counterattack, and I will cover you."

Xijian said this knowing that Jian couldn't bring himself to kill him.

Jian nodded vigorously, and then declared loudly:

"Rain, sweep away the filth!"

Then, heavy rain poured down from the sky, hitting all the enemy troops.

Chapter 59: Human Soldiers on the Battlefield

The biggest feature of the wars or local conflicts that broke out among the fairies on this British island is that they have no characteristics.

The fundamental differences between fairies and humans, and the special powers they are born with, allow each clan to achieve a crushing victory in war even if they are outnumbered.

This is especially true when there is an individual like Yaling in the clan who possesses overwhelming power.

This is particularly evident in the Fang Clan.

For example, dividing the troops to launch a surprise attack from behind is one of the most common tactics on the entire British battlefield.

So Xijian guessed that the northern fairy would definitely do this.

However, Shiomi was somewhat surprised that they were able to cross the complex mountainous terrain in the east and directly raid the territory of the Earth Clan, which was in a sense one of the rear bases, and ambush the army setting out from Norwich. He realized that he might have underestimated the marching ability of the northern elves.

"Thank you very much. If the Witch-sama and the Sage-sama hadn't arrived, I'm afraid the Earth Clan's army, myself included, would have been wiped out in this ambush."

After the two joined the battlefield, they quickly changed the course of the battle and wiped out the northern goblins in one fell swoop.

The battlefield, washed by the ash rain, mixed with the blood of the dead soldiers flowed into the fields on both sides of the road.

As he ordered the clan army to count the remnants, the Black Knight Hector thanked the two and said so.

"Nothing, I was just worried that you'd be attacked first along the way." Xi Jian glanced at the bodies of the Northern Army that had been dragged together and laid out, "It's just the right time."

"But the northern goblins are truly formidable, even more ferocious than the rumors say." Hector pulled out an arrow stuck in the mud. "While we were on the road, we were first attacked by a hail of arrows, losing many soldiers. Then came the hand-to-hand combat."

Shiomi pinched his chin: "First, use long-range weapons to weaken the target as much as possible, and then launch an attack..."

As an ambush combat method, it is almost impeccable.

They must have rehearsed the battle in advance and selected elite soldiers.

"Since the Earth Clan's army is safe," Ash said to Hector, leaning on the rear armrest of the ATV, "please organize your troops immediately and march to the front lines. The northern elves have already begun fighting the defenders of Manchester."

“No wonder there were attacks.”

Hector nodded heavily, turned and bowed to Shiomi again, then turned to integrate the remaining troops and sent a messenger back to Norwich to gather reinforcements.

At this time, Shiomi noticed that the remains of the northern fairy army that had been gathered together were of different sizes.

Although he already knew that the northern goblins were composed of goblins that had broken away from various clans, Shiomi still felt that the remains of many of the soldiers looked a bit strange.

He walked over to one of the bodies and reached out to take off the helmet that covered his entire face.

A human face with eyes wide open appeared in the field of vision, probably wondering why the foolproof ambush had failed.

Xijian frowned, reached out and covered the eyes, closing them.

Noticing the situation, Jian immediately turned over and jumped out of the car, completely disregarding the demeanor of a savior. Instead, she looked a bit like a wild girl.

"What's wrong?" asked Jian.

"It's humans." Xijian said, and then took off the helmets of seven or eight soldiers wearing similar style armor.

The faces that appeared before them were different, but they were all undoubtedly human.

"Northern goblins let humans go to the battlefield?" Ash was quite surprised.

After a long period of travel, Shiomi has already had a general grasp of the situation of the human beings in the whole of Britain.

These short-lived humans on the island did not appear naturally, but were created by the fairies, just like industrial products.

Children are reproduced in factories using magic-like means, and when they grow up they are sent outside and assigned to fairies who are qualified to own humans.

Humans with higher levels in all aspects will be auctioned or traded.

It's not even a secret.

So far, Shiomi has concluded that the disaster of hunting wandering planets caused the extinction of mankind, leading to the birth of the British Isles. After that, the fairies imitated humans in order to satisfy their own desires and needs.

Because it is a technology similar to that of artificial humans, the lifespan will not exceed thirty years.

After all, the lifespan of Einzbern's androids was no more than twenty years. In this respect, the elves were actually more technologically advanced.
