Sure enough, when the first wave of mages was thwarted, the Magic Empire's frontline commander withdrew the mage's command to attack. The army that came this time was General Wendell's First Army, which was mainly composed of the former San Jose Western Frontier Army and the garrisons of the western provinces. Their combat effectiveness seems to be average, after all, they are mainly composed of low-level garrisons, but with the bonus of magicians, it is difficult to say.

The front commander was a lieutenant under General Wendell named Marz. He is General Wendell's loyal lieutenant, and before the Kyoto City Incident, he knew about the entire plan related to the Rise of Darkness, so he is considered a diehard in the Magic Empire's army, and his loyalty to the Magic Empire is very high. When he came to battle, General Wendell gave him a request to achieve victory while also minimizing the damage to the magician.

After all, for the current Magic Empire, every mage is quite precious. If the new Magic Empire wants to regain the strength of the Magic Empire of the past, Merlin still has a long way to go.

Therefore, when he saw that some magicians in the Shang Alliance's army released magic shields, he understood that this wave of magic attacks would not be too effective for the time being. But it doesn't matter, the battle is still there. After a long trumpet, countless soldiers of the Magic Empire began to assemble.

The establishment of the Magic Empire was too hasty, and Merlin and the magical nobles who rose from darkness were basically not very concerned about military affairs, so that most of these troops on the front line were still wearing their San Jose era uniforms and holding the weapons given to them by the San Jose royal family. Looking at those "own people" in the distance, Mage Setie appeared limited in anger.

Similarly, the tactics of the opposing side are similar to those of the San Jose Army, or almost identical. Arrayed in a neat phalanx, the soldiers of the Magic Empire, holding spears and round shields, marched forward. Although their phalanx was less neat and imposing than the "San Jose Great Phalanx" of the Guards, at least, there was some essence there.

Xiao Mu and Monica and several apprentices (Note 1) nervously treated the newly wounded soldiers, while Mage Setty hurried over and shouted, "Duke Mu, the enemy is coming, we need your support spells." ”

Xiao Mu looked up, saw Setty's anxious expression, knew that what she said was true, and turned back to Monica to order. Monica hurriedly explained to a few of her assistants, and then left with Mage Setty.

The two mages came to the mage team of the Shang Alliance and began to chant spells without pause. An invisible aura spread along the mountain. Countless soldiers felt a shock in their spirits, and it seemed that infinite courage surged into their hearts. There was no time to think why, the enemy phalanx was already gradually approaching.

"Bow and arrow preparation! Bow and arrow preparation! Bow and arrow preparation!" The front-line commander ordered loudly, the number of archers in the new eleventh army of the Shang Alliance was a little more than that of the previous Shang Alliance army, which was also to guard against the attack of the magicians of the Magic Empire. After all, ranged attacks always work, no matter what.

With the addition of auxiliary spells, those soldiers were not only no longer afraid, but even a little excited and eager to try.

After casting the spell, Monica wiped the sweat from her forehead, "It's up to you to see if it's successful, I hope that the blessing technique of the Grand Priest of Kaman can have an effect." ”

The first Duke of Kaman, who was widely known as the Grand Priest of Kaman in the rebel coalition back then, possessed great spiritual magical powers. In addition to the excellent healing techniques, there are also many secondary spells. Some of these support spells can increase the courage of soldiers, some can increase the agility and strength of soldiers, and even more powerful spells can turn soldiers into super soldiers.

These spells have always been recorded in the castle of the Kaman king, that is, in the magic manuscript that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Kaman family. Rise of Darkness even tried to snatch the book a few years ago, but it failed by accident.

After the establishment of the Magic Empire, Monica took Xiao Mu to the royal capital castle to open this magic manuscript that could only be opened by relying on the blood of the great priest himself, and forced him to learn the spells on the manuscript. In addition to powerful healing techniques, these spells also have a variety of auxiliary magic, such as "Wind Blessing", "Earth's Extreme Wall", "Stone Skin Enhancement", and "Agile Leopard", all of which can greatly enhance the caster's personal abilities.

For example, Stone Skin Enhancement can give a soldier a hard magic shield in addition to his armor, which can resist the fire of an extra bow and arrow, or take an extra knife. The Agile Leopard, on the other hand, can increase the speed and agility of soldiers, and when fighting, soldiers who are blessed with magic will have the upper hand.

Xiao Mu and Monica teamed up with several magic apprentices and cast several auxiliary spells in a row, and at this time, the soldiers of the Magic Empire were already approaching the front line.

In addition to being used defensively, the San Jose phalanx can also be used offensively. In the battle with the Desik, the San José phalanx formed by the Guards repeatedly attacked the powerful Desik with good results. The same group of Magic Empire soldiers composed of Western Border Guards, their San Jose phalanx should not be underestimated.

Rulin's spear was rapidly approaching, and at a distance of less than one hundred and fifty grams, the archers of the Shang Alliance let go of their bows and arrows one after another, and the "whoosh" ground feather arrows pierced the sky, and the black pressure fell towards the phalanx.

"Wall of Wind!" several incantations rang out from the Magic Empire's army, and an invisible wall of air suddenly formed in front of the array. The feather arrows, which were originally invincible, didn't know what obstacles they encountered, suddenly stopped, and then fell one after another.

"It's the wind wall, it's a kind of wind magic, it can form a wind wall curtain in the air, and if the bow and arrow with insufficient strength can't penetrate the wind wall, it won't be able to shoot the crowd. "The difference between it and the magic shield is that it can defend against magical attacks and can resist physical attacks. ”

Bow and arrow shooting was ineffective, and in a short time, the army of the Magic Empire had advanced to the front of the merchants. With the order of the other commander, a row of black-pressed throwing guns flew from the rear of the phalanx, and a series of muffled sounds of "puff puff" smashed into the Shang Allied army, and many people were knocked down painfully.

However, what was surprising was that the downed soldiers quickly got up again, tearing open the leather armor on their chests with palpitations. The armor had been torn apart by a spear, but there was only a superficial mark on the skin.

"Stone Skin!" the enemy magician gritted his teeth in displeasure. Although the number of mages of the Shang Alliance is small, even the other party has to admit that their auxiliary magic is quite effective.

And at this moment, there was no longer any obstacle between the soldiers of the two sides who were approaching. With the sound of tragic "killing", the soldiers on both sides mixed up. Although magic can give the soldiers of the merchant alliance the first layer of protection, the wind walls of the Magic Empire can also withstand the attack of bows and arrows. However, after the hand-to-hand handover, magic is no longer dominant on the battlefield. The soldiers on both sides returned to the hand-to-hand combat they were most familiar with, swords, spears, and blood flying. Countless severed limbs and stumps rang out with screams of terror.

The defensive lines of the four frontal positions of the New Eleventh Army suffered the first wave of attacks, and the two sides were in a battle almost in a short time. Without waiting for Kist and the others to go to help, a whining horn sounded behind the Magic Empire army, more troops rushed forward, and the shadow of the Magic Empire army also appeared on the front of the other three positions.

Kerst straightened, pulled out the Heartbroken Sword, turned around and ordered Rika, "Take care of Kaka, don't act rashly yet." Then he gave the order loudly, "All ready, the enemy is coming!"

The battle is raging. It was previously said that San Jose's Western Frontier Army was mediocre in combat and that it did not suffer much of a test during the entire war with Desik. However, it is still difficult to solve the battle with the Shang Alliance, an army that has grown rapidly in the war, but the process of fighting is strange everywhere.

A merchant soldier was suddenly pierced in the stomach by a spear from the Magic Empire soldier opposite, and the other party was also tired enough to choke, and he couldn't stop panting with a spear. However, a golden flash of light fell from the sky, and the wound on his stomach, which was still screaming on the ground just now, began to close visibly, and in a short moment, except for the large hole in the leather armor, it was impossible to see that he had been injured.

The merchant soldier was also stunned for a long time, and got up and patted left and right, as if he couldn't believe that this was the truth. Half a day later, he reacted, shouted "Long live Duke Kaman", and brandished his weapon and rushed towards the enemy again.

And Xiao Mu in the distance didn't hear his words at all, but kept waving his hands and chanting incantations, and one after another golden holy light continued to fall into the crowd. The soldiers, who were illuminated by the golden light, quickly regained their combat effectiveness.

This is naturally the power of the miraculous healing technique handed down by the Grand Priest of Kaman.

And behind the soldiers of the Magic Empire, there are constantly magicians rising into the air. All kinds of wind blades and fireball techniques smashed into the ground as if they didn't want money. And the magicians on the side of the Shang Alliance are also trying their best to cast a magic to resist. The soldiers behind the position who operated the crossbow kept turning the aiming hole of the crossbow. Dangling from side to side between the aiming holes were the figures of the magicians in black robes.

The commander of the Shang Alliance anxiously gave various orders, constantly adjusting the defensive formation. So far in the battle, the Magic Empire's attack has been quite sharp, and many of the Shang Alliance's positions have begun to show signs of loosening. Fortunately, the corps commander of the New Eleventh Army left a lot of reserves, and at this time they were also sent to the front line in waves.

Xiao Mu, Monica, Setie, and Lolita became the backbone of the mages of the Business Alliance, and they led the magicians who were significantly outnumbered by the other to resist with all their might.

All the Merchant Alliance knew in their minds that behind them was the Merchant Alliance's headquarters in Mister, and all the soldiers and magicians were sent to the front line, and there was only one thing they had to do, which was to hold this line of defense, no matter how great the sacrifice was.

Note 1: In order to fight against the Magic Empire, Xiao Mu and Monica sought out a large number of elemental awakeners in the territory of the Shang Alliance and taught them low-level magic. These new magicians are called Magical Apprentices. This is only a temporary title granted to them by the Business Alliance.
