Ten minutes ago.

"Huh?" The Fifth Apostle, Alice, looked at Levi beside him incredulously, "What are you talking about?" It's a good fight. How can you walk away like this. ”

Today's Alice is dressed in a crisp brown leather coat. Hearing Levi's words, she showed a dissatisfied look, pinched her waist with both hands, and stomped her deerskin boots on the ground hard.

Lévy sighed.

"There's no fun in slaughtering miscellaneous soldiers here," he said, narrowing his eyes with a nonchalant look, "but there are a few interesting little mice on the hill to the east. Don't you dare to be interested? Alice. They are more qualified to be our opponents than these weak trash fish. ”

"Hmm...... Alice, patting her red hair, "if you lie to me, you know what will happen." ”

"Of course," Levi laughed, "the opportunity to command this army of the dead is great. But I ...... It is better to give up this opportunity. ”

The two left quietly.

……

Alice Dapeptide never saw herself as a "mage".

She was born into an illegal mercenary group, and her parents were low-level mercenaries. When she was less than seven years old, both her parents were killed; She was trained in a mercenary group. It stands to reason that she would inherit her parents' way of survival, become an ordinary mercenary, and then die in obscurity in a battle.

But one reckless action by the regimental commander changed all that.

When Alice was nine years old, the mercenary group was hired to infiltrate the territory of Elrios on an assassination mission. In the face of the power of the French state, this small illegal mercenary group was crushed as soon as it appeared. The white-clothed mage from the pure white city killed most of the illegal mercenaries and gave the children to the mage apprentices to raise.

And just like that, Alice's talent was tapped. In the end, Palamedes came forward to take her in as a disciple and trained her as a pure war mage.

Relying on the "Staff of Lorenz" that can be transformed into any weapon, Alice is a nightmare storm on the battlefield. Whether it's melee or long-range, Alice has endless ways to tear her enemies apart.

Only in front of Levi will Alice appear slightly well-behaved. In addition to the main battle of the plastic energy spell, Alice's research on other spells is very insufficient, and it has been repeatedly taken advantage of by the enemy. If it weren't for Levy, who was acting with her, she wouldn't have known how many times she had fallen into the enemy's trap.

……

At this time, on the hill in the east, Xiaowei and the trio from Erios: Gloria, Morgana and Traynor are nervously carrying out the final arrangement of "Yin".

"The ceremony can be carried out!" Treno, the always calm "Hermit of the Absolute Sea", said anxiously.

Now the mainland is landing. If we can't complete all seven "seals" in time, maybe the mainland will be smashed directly to the surface of the sea...... That's no joke.

"We're too close to the battlefield." Morgana said gloomily.

As a spy of the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds", she has been contacting Ionia, the owner of the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds", since the beginning. However, no matter how long you wait, there is no response.

What's going on? Morgana was anxious.

"It's fine." Xiaowei said.

In fact, she and Gloria, who are scheduled to become the "Guardians of the Sea of Clouds", are more anxious than everyone else.

They knew that the positions of the two seals located in the Imperial Plains would be very close, but they didn't expect that the two seals would almost overlap, only a few hundred meters apart, and the two guardian candidates could also be activated back-to-back; They knew that the two seals would be very close to the battlefield, but in reality they were separated by a small hill from the very edge of the battlefield - much closer than expected.

It takes time and focus to let your spiritual power enter the sea of clouds and the magic web, activate the "seal" and become the guardian of the sea of clouds.

Even a few hundred routs could make the ceremony fall short.

"We're going to start now—no."

The figure that quietly appeared on the hill made everyone's faces change greatly.

……

Meanwhile.

The battle on the Great Battlefield is approaching its end

Vultures hover in the sky. They smelled the blood of the corpses and were ready to eat as soon as the battle was over.

Powerful spellcasters have also been killed or fled, and Okad's army has been thrown into disarray.

There were those who longed for the miracle of Speaker Nicholas – but he didn't show up.

"Admiral Armstrong is dead!" I don't know who was the first to shout.

His voice was drowned out by a deafening shout of killing, but then a second and a third voice rang out...... Eventually, a wave of fear merged.

"The Admiral is dead!"

"The general is also ......"

"The casters have fled."

"The grain and grass were also burned."

The cries of horror were irrepressible and grew louder and louder.

In just a few moments, one shout after another swept the entire battlefield.

It's like a seemingly solid dam, as long as the first crack is opened, it is not far from the final complete collapse.

Finally, a unit on the western side of the battlefield was the first to flee.

And this is only the beginning of the great rout.

……

For the defeat of his allies, Lévy had no waves in his heart. Although this ending came so quickly, it was also related to his direct abandonment of the Okard army.

He's got it......

"It was a surprise. No...... That's right. That's it. ”

A smile appeared on the young necromancer's face.

Through the undead rats planted around the battlefield, Levi had no trouble spotting the uninvited guests observing the battlefield. And the content of their conversation made him feel even more shocked and ......

Ecstasy.

Guardian of the sea of clouds and the magic web. Rather than participating in that boring war, this is the path of fate that belongs to the mage.

"I see. That's the plan. This is our battlefield compared to the victory or defeat over there. ”

Levi Fedorovich, with the Staff of Scalu in his hand, slowly ascended the hill. Alice followed him like a bodyguard, turning the "Staff of Lorenz" in the form of a chainmail into a scythe and grasping it in her hand.

Xiaowei and Gloria were pale. Even with double the number of mages who are not combat-type, they have no chance of winning under the attack of the Nightmare Chariot and the Pale Moon.

"I thought it was just an ambush," Levi said to himself, his green eyes flashing with a sly glint, "and it turned out that he had caught a big fish." Integrate spiritual power with the sea of clouds and the magic net? Ambitious plans ......"

"What do you want to do, Pale Moon?" Treyno asked nervously.

Levi smiled.

The "Guardian of the Sea of Clouds" will have very strong power. He didn't want to give up this opportunity.

"The teacher chose the wrong person," he said coldly, "I don't know why the teacher trusts outsiders, but I waited for the 'Black Apostle' to be the teacher's original choice." ”

Levi slowly leaned forward.

The war entered its final moment.

So far...... The only way to do this is to fight for your own interests.
