- I must be crazy.

Maher felt his heart pounding wildly, and it seemed that it was not his life beating in his chest, but a bomb counting down, and it was almost zero.

This is not an exaggeration, nor is it an illusion formed by mental stress, but a phenomenon that is actually happening.

Magician training has never been a crash course, and even with theoretical assistance and teachers' presentations, it still has a lot to do with the accumulation of personal experience. At the end of the day, magic is largely a product of the sensual realm, and unlike science and technology, it is not replicable in many places. To use the old traditional saying, it is purely "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual".

However, the war will not wait for the magicians to graduate step by step, especially after entering the era of modern general warfare, in the face of overwhelming chariots and MDS, the senior Charlemagne magicians were quickly crushed into blood and mud, if more magicians could not be sent to the front line to fill the vacancies, Charlemagne would not even be able to survive the final battle of the Rhine.

In the face of strong pressure, Charlemagne trained the accelerated magician in a hurry, and at the same time learned lessons from various accidents and actual combat records to enrich and improve the accelerated training course for magicians. With Charlemagne's defeat, the relevant materials fell into the hands of the "Free Army" through various channels, and after continuous improvement and improvement, the "Free Army" can now be regarded as a world leader in training quick magicians.

Under certain circumstances, they can even make the newly awakened newcomer perform a technique that can only be used by a triangular or even quadrilateral level mage.

The method is very simple, seal the technique and mana in advance into the Tianjing, and set the power, frequency, and release direction of the technique, as long as you enter the command of "activation", it can be released immediately.

Doesn't that sound déjà vu? Yes, it's the same concept as a pistol loaded with bullets. It's just that the actions of disarming the safety and pulling the trigger have been replaced with "authentication" and "activation" commands, so that even a newly awakened rookie mage can easily release magic in a vacuum area or an environment densely packed with interfering particles.

From a practical point of view, this is really a great technology.

However, just as there are two sides to everything, there are several problems with this technology that are difficult to overcome.

First, since the technique is sealed into the Celestial Crystal in advance, in order to isolate the influence of interfering particles and misfire, there is a special authentication protection technique inside, and the user cannot change the settings except for special adjustment personnel, nor can it be re-injected into the mana and the technique. It is a magical version of a disposable automatic pistol that is loaded with multiple bullets, and once it runs out of bullets, it can only be used to smash people.

Second, unlike pistols, novice guns can get frozen shoulder at most because of posture problems (this has to be .44 Magnum or even .50 caliber guns used to fight dinosaurs), and it is impossible to say that tenosynovitis is caused by too many buckle machines. But asking a newcomer who hasn't even taken a day of regular classes to use the "priming" technique repeatedly can put a burden on his brain.

Whether it's a brain or magic, it's all very delicate things in nature. Only long-term exercise and use can be used stably without harming yourself. Letting a newcomer like Marseille use the Celestial Crystal is no different from shoving a pistol into the hands of a 3-year-old. If you are not careful, you will not only hurt others, but you may also endanger yourself.

But now whether it is Marseille or those two girls, everyone has no other choice but to pin their hopes on this chaotic battle.

- My wavelength has been recorded, and once I use it, the opponent will immediately launch a strong attack.

- Your brain waves are still appearing for the first time, and they are still very unstable, and it is difficult for the other party to lock on to you.

- As long as the other party can't be sure how many magicians there are, they won't act rashly. In the meantime, you go to the location I have designated to release the "Pillar of Fire". If the other party is really a veteran of dealing with magicians, he will soon realize the message from this side and seriously consider whether it is time to retreat.

That being said, will it really go well?

At the end of the day, it's just a gamble on his possibility. Marseille and the girls have nothing more than no guaranteed possibility, while on the other side are real armed forces and state-of-the-art killing machines. Such a gamble, let alone winning, is even questionable whether it can be established.

But.

Marseille had an impulse in his heart, a voice that burst out from within himself and shouted to him.

- To believe.

- Believe in your own possibilities.

——I believe in the possibility of surpassing my current self and moving towards a broader world.

Following the sound of shouting in the blood, in the body, and in the soul, Marseille clenched the celestial crystal.

############

- Strange.

Mach dusted off his cigarette ashes, and questions and discord crossed his mind.

- In terms of making noise or giving up on oneself, it seems that the time for the commotion is too long.

People who abandon themselves can't see anything else in their eyes, and only want to die or die with others, or simply cut themselves off, so as not to face the torture and humiliation that they may suffer after being arrested, or after releasing a few "flame pillars", they will set a trap - usually a high-power explosion technique - and detonate as soon as the opponent gets close, and can take away one without losing, and can take away a pair and earn one.

If it is a decoy, the decoy soldier should immediately storm the outer line of defense as soon as he attracts Epenny, and make as much noise as possible to create chaos and facilitate the escape of his companions.

Now this guy's behavior pattern is completely different from the above two, he neither stopped in place and waited for death, nor did he jump out of the body to give away the head. Instead, he ran around like a bear child who loved to play with fireworks, constantly making pillar after pillar of fire, and playing hide and seek with Epenny by the way.

Although I don't know what technology the other party used, he can continuously emit quite powerful magic in the environment of Mana's vacuum, but as long as Epenny is there, it is only a matter of time before he is discovered and annihilated. The real problem is ......

- A little too positive.

As the name suggests, the guy who loves fireworks and hide-and-seek is too aggressive. It doesn't look like you've been cornered at all.

According to Mach's experience, if human beings suddenly put a lot of enthusiasm into something, and the thing itself seems very unreasonable, it is basically something else.

What else could they plot in such a desperate situation? Do they think they have a chance to turn the tables and fight back? Or do they feel that they have some trump card in their hands to make the empire retreat?

No kidding.

So far, even if there is a trump card......

- And so on.

- Trump?

- Isn't that right?

"Epenny. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"Stop the pursuit for the time being, mark the locations where the 'Flame Pillar' has been found so far on the map in order, and send it to my terminal!

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

It only took a second for the terminal in Mach's hand to receive the sorted out dynamic picture document, and cold sweat flowed down Mach's forehead as one point after another appeared on the map.
