Chapter 199: Retreat
The position was suddenly reversed.
Originally, the Eyes of Truth had already destroyed the roads around the academy before the raid, which allowed them to gain a one-sided numerical advantage in the initial stages of the attack. After the road was cut off, even if the Doge's palace had to send troops to help, it would have to take many times longer than usual.
Before they acted, they had already investigated the level of the academy guards, so that they could make effective arrangements for their actions. Theoretically, as long as the plan proceeds as predicted, the only person they have to watch out for is Cruise François.
This great sorcerer represents the highest magical attainment of the Dominion, not limited to his individual combat ability, and the various disciplines he studied are leading the development of the Dominion and the entire Empire. Undoubtedly, if it was him, it wouldn't be a surprise what kind of spell product he thrown.
But now, the monsters that appeared are still a little unbelievable.
It is said that he rushed to the doctor when he was sick, but François's method was simply fighting poison with poison. The ghostly black shadow continued to devour the surrounding life, and it could cause more damage to the academy's land than the attacking True Eyes.
Especially the "torrent" of shelling that had just erupted, which almost cut off an entire tower, and even the personnel of True Sight had not done so exaggerated.
It was almost as if they were in a dream, and the dignitaries of the True Eye looked at the gap in the tall building in the distance that had been blasted out by the spell. There were no flames around the vanished space, and no debris was scattered. It was as if the part of the circular gap had vanished into thin air under the bombardment of darkness.
Just looking at that scene made people tremble uncontrollably, and even the strong man couldn't help but stiffen for a moment. The little man who had struggled with his tough actions was now completely silent, and there were a few of his right-hand men on the tower besides the cannon fodder. Now I don't know if they survived.
It was as if it had been caught up in an explosion that had gone out of control, and the tower's superstructure was completely destroyed. After a moment's delay, the remnants of the building materials began to fall to the ground under the pull of gravity, setting off a dust storm that could be clearly seen in the distance.
No one spoke, and the mages knew exactly how strong the spell level was that torrent just now. It was as powerful as the artillery spell array used by the Kingdom of Salasia Army Group in the last great war to bombard the Empire's border defenses, if not surpassing.
The monster constructed by the shadow was still wreaking havoc behind the Eye of Truth array, only after seeing the devastation caused by the "torrent" just now. All the sorcerers retreated. It's no wonder that they are allowed to stay by the side of the monster, and it is not only the chimera cannon fodder that will be lost.
These subordinate members seemed so powerless and meaningless around the monsters. Maybe they all have the consciousness of dedicating their lives to the "goal", but staying there is just a sacrifice in vain. As long as that monster-like black shadow has a heart, they can only obediently go to the end.
Not only them, but in fact, many people in the eyes of true vision were once tiny and powerless beings. Even if you are dissatisfied with the status quo you have encountered. But he didn't even understand who to unleash his hatred on. Their world is unusually narrow, and all that can be seen is boring personal grievances.
"Retreat. ”
The strong man said as if sighing, and the black-clothed people around him could only pile up his decision and remain silent: "This operation did not achieve the expected goal, I will explain to the boss that it is my responsibility." On the whole, the objectives of the first phase are already halfway accomplished, and it is more reasonable to retreat in time before suffering greater losses. ”
This is undoubtedly a defeat for him.
There was no shortage of failures in his life, from his childhood to being oppressed and plundered. When I was a teenager, I was knocked down again and again in the corner of a dirty street. Failure is not something strange, but compared to those who are weak. He has the ability to chew on failure and turn it into food for success.
Everything in the world has its own reason, and the Lord once told him that all things that actually exist in this world have their own reasons, but they can only be understood. In the same way, this failure naturally has a reason why it will inevitably fail.
If you want to transform from a weak to a strong one, you must challenge a being who is stronger than yourself.
The world is made up of all kinds of "principles", so if they want the "world" to unfold in the form they want, they must knock down the people who have woven the "principles" that they have weaved, dismantle the "principles" they have weaved, and then give it a new form.
But now...... That time had not yet come, so in order to preserve the strength for the next battle, he gave the order to retreat.
All of the members present may have had a different past than their own, but they were all united by the same goal. Unlike those who become outcasts for petty profits, each of them has the possibility of making the organization's goals come true.
They do not flatter for the sake of a small profit, and although they may quarrel over their own will, they possess far more talent than those of ignorant fools. It is precisely because there is a "down" that there is an "up", they are the chosen ones, and they have the power to indicate the unchosen ones.
It only takes a glance to understand the difference between the two—those who are inferior have no doubts about everything in the world, only know how to obey, and those who can stand beside them, each of them is a unique individual, with a glitter of will in their eyes.
Therefore, they can't be sacrificed in vain, cannon fodder can be filled at any time, but the chosen ones can never be cultivated so easily.
"This is the magic power of the Cataclysm...... It was my negligence, I didn't expect that damn 'Wind of the Twelve' to have such a backhand. Creating a natural disaster, or raising a monster that has almost reached the limit of the natural disaster, is probably only he can do. ”
A moment later, the cold voice of the woman broke the silence that had shrouded the crowd. Rarely, the strong man could hear some fluctuations in his almost emotionless tone—probably from the anger of being slapped in the field of investigation in which he was most proud.
But this is definitely not her mistake, the one that was born here is out of everyone's calculations, and when the problem is born, I feel sorry for it. To be honest, I am afraid that no adult would have imagined that Cruise François would be able to do this at this point in time.
"No, it's not any of you's fault" The strong man sighed deeply, he knew that when a monster of this level appeared, the operation of attacking the academy would undoubtedly end in failure, "In order to solve the problem of us releasing a monster of this level, he is even more dangerous than I imagined." ”
His strength was far beyond everyone's expectations - there was no doubt that the monster would need to be taken into account the next time we thought about what to do with him.
What needs to be considered now is how to evacuate while minimizing the damage, and no matter how you look at it, the other side seems unwilling to let them slip out of their hands like this.
The manipulator of the giant black beast seemed to have grasped the direction of the command office, and it mercilessly rushed away everything that stood in its way, and began to rush towards the high ground. At that point, it probably takes less than a moment for it to rush here.
You can't have a hard bar head-on, and you must evacuate immediately.
So he said to the comrades around him: "The operation is over, and the retreat is ready to begin according to the third set of plans." Communicate the retreat to everyone still alive - and throw in all the chimeras to delay the monster's movement as much as possible. ”
The riots were all aimed at gaining an advantage in attacking the Silver Tower, and with the appearance of such a monster in the rear of the frontal offensive, it was naturally impossible to sustain the continuous offensive. As for now, he only hoped that the remaining cannon fodder could block the monster a little.
"I don't have enough time, I need to stay and make some spell traps to delay it......"
Perhaps not recognizing her guilt for her mistakes, the tall and lanky woman took the initiative to stand up and ask herself to stop the monster from moving forward.
"No, there's no need for that...... You see. ”
But the strong man interrupted her, and pointed to the distant side, motioning for her to look with her companions—in the clear night sky, several black geometric objects appeared. They swayed slightly, and gradually grew larger in the field of view.
Not insects, not birds, the black geometry invaded the Academy's airspace with a roar unimaginable from the flight of ordinary animals.
It was a giant construct that reflected a metallic luster.
"Air Cavalry ......"
The short man gritted his teeth and pronounced the names of the metal components.
This is the most elite armed force under the Governor's Office of the Dominion of Osattaria, and it is powered by the latest high-output magic furnace. Although there were only two of them, their arrival undoubtedly indicated that reinforcements from the Academy were arriving in June.
They are the Grim Reaper hovering the skies, each equipped with a heavy loader that can rain fire on the ground. And on the sturdy composite armor, there are also dense ancient characters engraved on it, ready to resist the spell barrage around it. And beside these offensive and defensive metal monsters, there are also small constructs equipped with light mechanical guns, which are the most powerful eagle dogs of this monster.
This is by no means an opponent they will be able to fight against.
"Do as I say! now, now, now, now! all evacuate, before the real trouble comes. Faced with this chaotic situation, the strong man could only shake his head and sigh, "Don't forget, avoiding unnecessary losses is more important than completing the task." ”
Instead of running away, the momentary retreat was for the next better action, and the members of the True Eye nodded silently and began to prepare for evacuation in an orderly manner. (To be continued!)
