Chapter 1034: A Harbinger of Destruction
If there is one of the most terrifying and terrifying nightmares of a mage, it is the trace of the anti-magic force field. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis is the most powerful weapon to use against mages. Under the suppression of the anti-magic force field, most of the magic will fail, and the magic will be suppressed. Especially for the Magic Command Battleship, the anti-magic force field is almost equal to the existence of natural enemies. Balk still remembers that in the history of the Demon Empire, it was specifically stated that the empire once sent a fleet to explore the Western Sea, but accidentally entered the forbidden demon realm, resulting in the destruction of one fleet. Since then, the Wizard Empire has made the Forbidden Realm and the Anti-Magical Force Field a top priority. Although they were not able to completely isolate the anti-magic field, at least for now they were able to weaken some of the power of the anti-magic field slightly. This is also the reason why Balk's battleship did not fall immediately after entering the anti-magic force field.
But that's about it.
Although the barrier above the Magic Guide Battleship was still in effect, Balk knew that it was only because these barrier spells were not channeling spells, so they would not be cut off by the anti-magic force field. But he also knew very well that the time for these shield barriers was coming soon, and if it was just now, then he could also order the mages to activate the scrolls to replenish the barriers. But now, after entering the realm of anti-magic, all magic items will lose their effect, and the mage's magic will be suppressed, which means that he will not be able to activate the scroll. What's worse is that the wind elemental power device used to propel the battleship forward has also lost its effect, and only the main crystal nucleus that maintains the battleship's levitation effect is still working. However, in such a situation, an immobile battleship is almost the best target!
As if in response to Balk's conjecture, the next moment, a series of glittering artillery fire emerged from the darkness again, and blasted straight towards the fleet in front of him. This time there were not even ships that could dodge the attack, they could only stay where they were, withstanding this round of shelling. Although there is also the protection of the magic barrier, it ...............
"Report, the Warhawk, the Guardian and the Chase's shields have reached their limit!!"
Hearing the report of his subordinates, Balk gritted his teeth, in fact, he didn't need the report of his subordinates, he had already seen that the magic shields of the three battleships in front of him were already looming, it seemed that after withstanding that round of shelling just now, the magic shields of the three battleships had finally reached the limit.
"Immediately give an order to them to abandon the ship, quickly!!"
However, before Balk's order could be passed on, the magic shields on the three battleships disappeared completely, and immediately after, a series of flashes of light flew from a distance, as if they had eyes, and they bombarded the three battleships impartially, only to hear the sound of explosions and staggered flames, and the three battleships turned into raging flames in front of Balk, and fell to the ground with a wail. Balk could only see the three fireballs grow smaller and smaller in his eyes, and then disappear into the darkness of the earth, leaving only a small glimmer of light as the last vestiges of its existence.
Seeing this, Balk was silent for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
"Pass the order down, all the staff -- abandon the ship."
"Captain?"
"Your Excellency?"
Everyone present was taken aback by Balk's order, but Balk shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.
"You know as well as I do what happens, and it's fine if it were anything else, but the anti-magic force field -- this is the natural enemy of our mages, and everything we can do has already been done. Now that we're here, there's nothing we can do to fight back. Now, I order, all abandon the ship! Leave immediately!! Order the Griffon Knight to take off and evacuate as many as you can! Fast! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!!"
Now that Balk had given the order, the others naturally wouldn't say anything, and although they couldn't use the magic light orb, it was no problem to transmit information through the horn. Soon, two short and one long horns sounded, and hearing this horn, the soldiers and mages on the rest of the battleship also quickly began to evacuate. Even so, they moved a little slower -- not long after Balk gave the order, another salvo flew in from a distance, and at the same time two more battleships were hit by artillery fire, and they were completely destroyed.
"My lord, we ......... too"
Seeing that another battleship was sunk, the adjutant also hurried to Balk's side and tried to take him to evacuate, but Balk waved his hand to stop the adjutant's action.
"You guys go and evacuate, I'll just stay here alone."
"Your Excellency!!"
Hearing Balk's answer, the adjutant was immediately surprised, he looked at Balk in amazement, and then spoke.
"Please cherish your life, even if we fail, it doesn't mean that we are broken! Moreover, it's just a drill! You don't have to risk your life for this!! ”
"It's true that this is just a drill."
Hearing the adjutant's answer, Balk smiled bitterly.
"But it's a war for us............... We old guys, we tried to stop all of this, but now, we've failed. The Magic Empire, the entire continent, will usher in a new era, and we, the old antiques of the old era, are worthless. Let's be here and die for the old times, you have your future, I'm old, and the old can't keep up with you............"
Saying this, Balk closed his eyes, in fact, halfway through the war, Balk had already understood this. The strength and tactics of the other party are not the problem, the problem is the use and understanding of magic that they have shown. Balk knew very well that it was not at the same level as what the Magic Empire had always thought. Especially when he thought that the other party was just a group of low-level mages and mage apprentices, it made him feel even more complicated.
Is the empire wrong?
Are you wrong?
Could it be that what they have been doing all this time has been on the wrong path?
If that's the case, then let yourself stand for the last shift of this old empire and accompany it to its destruction. At the thought of this, Balk let out a long sigh, and then he opened his eyes again. However, to Balk's surprise, this time, he did not hear the explosion again, and the other party did not seem to have any intention of continuing the shelling.........
Why not attack?
Thinking of this, Balk was suddenly startled, and he hurriedly stood up and looked into the void in the distance.
Could it be ...............
"My lord? What's wrong with you? ”
Seeing that Balk, who was originally sitting in a chair, suddenly stood up, the adjutant next to him couldn't help but ask in surprise. Hearing his inquiry, Balk smiled wryly, and then he sat down again. He naturally already understood why the other party did not continue to bombard, the reason was very simple, he and the others who were trapped in the anti-magic force field had no power to fight back. It is equivalent to having no value of being destroyed, and the other party obviously sensed the existence of Christopher and the others, so they gave up their remnants and defeated generals to deal with those enemies who were more worthy of their dealing.
"It's over......... This time......... It's really over..............."
As he spoke, Balk looked up and muttered to himself.
PS: I thought I could finish it at the end of the month, but it turned out to be delayed until next month? Well, but that's fine, the final benefit is next month......... (To be continued.) )
