If one court mage is good at fire magic and the other court mage is good at lightning magic, then combining the two will not only have the burning effect of fire, but also produce a stun effect caused by lightning.

The two court mages complement each other perfectly, and with the blessing of buff magic, they can be compared to a small army!

The reason why Shiloh didn't use this powerful force was not because the court magicians were unwilling to lend a hand. On the contrary, they are no less passionate about war than the murderous Prime Minister.

As the powerhouses of the Sanctuary, the court mages have reached a level where they are strong enough to be proud of all beings, and wealth and power are not very attractive to them.

They spent many years in the lifeless court, living a monotonous life, so only the battlefield of blood and fire could make them feel a little excited, especially for the sound of iron clashing on the battlefield, there was a kind of fanaticism close to morbidity.

And Shiloh's decision to declare war on the Essit Empire was not impulsive. Although he is usually negligent in government affairs, he still understands the principle of eliminating the advantages of the other.

The Essit Empire has risen in recent years with only a handful of talents, its treasury is becoming increasingly empty, the upper class is extremely extravagant, and those in power at the top are conservative and weak.

Due to the loose discipline of the army, the alien races from the north invaded the south from time to time, the soldiers were mostly unwilling to fight, and the civilians were dissatisfied with the status quo.

There was a dark aura throughout the empire, and no one dared to stand up and clear the fog.

Shiloh was well versed in the way of the human heart, and through astrological prophecies, he knew that Essit would soon be doomed. Combined with the declining status quo of the Essit Empire, Shiloh decided to start a war with the intention of further dragging down the Essit's national power.

Despite the stubborn resistance of the Esset's legions, this did not affect his plans - the more united the people of Esset, the faster they perished.

Shiloh's decision proved to be wise, and Essit, despite his inviolable and aggressive attitude, had actually begun to rot on the inside.

The erroneous statecraft of successive rulers, as well as the pleasure-hungry nobles, directly led to the overall strength of the Essit Empire regressing step by step.

Everything is going according to Shiloh's expectations, but recently things have changed. Esset's top brass abruptly withdrew the Southern Corps, which had been stationed at the border, and the Northern Corps was ordered to be transferred to the South.

With Victor, a famous young general of the Empire, as the commander-in-chief of the border defenders of Essit, the tide of battle began to take a turn for the worse.

The camp of the Titan Legion was stationed in the forest ten miles outside the city of Moon, and as soon as Victor completed the transfer of military power, he ordered the initiative to attack, sneaked into the enemy camp overnight, and successfully burned most of the grain and grass of the Titan Legion.

However, the key to turning the tide of the battle was when Victor killed the commander of the Titan Legion in the chaos. The Titan Legion lost its backbone for a while and was obviously at a disadvantage. Shiloh, who was far away in the imperial capital, had to go to the border to stabilize the war situation in person after receiving the battle report.

——

Imperial Frontier, Esette Base Camp.

The two warriors were still unconscious, and the aura emanating from Owen was too strong for them to bear.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and large dark clouds blocked the sun's rays. Owen looked hideous at the moment, grabbed Victor's neck with one hand, and lifted him up.

The red figure struggled in mid-air, and the war spear in his hand fell sharply to the ground. Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers did not dare to move, they were obviously confused, and a huge sense of fear enveloped everyone's hearts.

"You damn bastard, quick—let me go!" Victor yelled hard, feeling like he was about to suffocate.

Owen was unmoved, the muscles in his arms burst, and Victor's face began to turn blue, and the kicking of his legs gradually slowed down.

"Oh no! protect your lord!!" the soldier in captain's attire roared, snatching the short bow from the waist of the soldier beside him, and quickly aimed it at Owen's back.

"Whoosh——!" The long arrow came out of his hand in response. Owen immediately realized the danger, he looked back and saw the speeding arrows, frowned, and had to release his right hand to avoid the attack.

"Whew......" Victor broke away from Owen's control, and immediately appeared in the ranks of soldiers as soon as his body moved. He breathed in the air greedily, and if it hadn't been for the captain's timely action, he would probably have died.

When Owen saw Victor hiding in the crowd, he was immediately furious, and the purple fighting qi on his body became stronger and stronger, becoming a substance-like mist!

"Well done, but you're no match for him. Exit first, and I'll deal with him alone!" Victor managed to stabilize his body and said with a solemn expression.

"But, sir!" shouted the captain and the soldiers beside him.

"If you stay here, you'll die in vain, let the other soldiers be on guard, and don't let the Titan guys take advantage of it!" Victor looked at the ground not far from Owen's side, and he saw his silver spear stuck diagonally on the ground.

"No, I'm afraid I can't subdue him in my current state. Victor was thinking quickly in his mind about a solution, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed.

Under the general's order, all the Esit soldiers withdrew from their positions fifty meters away to wait for instructions, and the surrounding area suddenly became empty.

Owen infiltrated Esset's base camp this time and brought three old subordinates with him. They are veterans of many battles, and even if their deeds are revealed, they will never reveal the slightest information to the enemy.

Long before they set out, they had the consciousness of mortality. However, Owen's thoughts were not like this, he was more concerned about the safety of the three of them.

In those days when they fought on the battlefield, the three of them saved Owen more than once, as their right-hand men, although there was a difference in rank between them, they were good friends who toasted together in peacetime.

The three warriors who went on the mission with him had already reached the fifth order. But after Owen entered a state of madness, he completely lost his mind, and he burst out with strength that could rival the powerhouses of the Holy Domain!

Perhaps only by killing Victor will it be possible to put an end to this.

The long sword in his hand was burning with purple and black flames, and his eyes were already locked on Victor's body, seeing that it was about to explode in the next second!

"Owen, take a closer look at the companion you want to protect!" Victor yelled at the swordsman.

"Huh?!" Owen's body shook violently, and he immediately swept his gaze to the ground around him. The two warriors were unconscious, while Iss lay in the distance, long since he was out of life.

"This, how...... Oak Rose!" He stared blankly at the scene before him, and then, as if he realized something again, began to call out the names of the two men hoarsely, completely oblivious to what had happened.

"That's the end of this farce. Owen said with a grim smile on his lips as he raised his right hand and waved it forward.

Seeing the general's gesture, the Esit soldiers shouted again and rushed up.
