I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 418 - 406: Racing Against Time, The Decaying Battlefield
Chapter 418: Chapter 406: Racing Against Time, The Decaying Battlefield
Rafael’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, both guesses were thoroughly bad news.
“I will go there right away!”
After calculating the approximate situation with Lynn and others, Aurora did not delay any longer and her figure soon disappeared from the place.
However, Rafael’s face did not relax in the slightest; after all, this place was very far from the Mist Territory. Even the straight-line distance exceeded one hundred fifty kilometers. Even with the speed of the ‘Legend’ Speaker flying there, it would take two hours, and perhaps it would be too late already…
Lynn gently stroked the ring of arcane in his hand, letting the intelligence brain start to locate the coordinates, preparing to project his power and will to Mist Territory via the magic network.
He wanted to see for himself what exactly had happened on Harrov’s side!
Lynn had previously taken some emergency measures, such as placing a wizard from Iyeta in each of the other two legions, carrying rings of arcane with qualities, their spiritual power decryption levels had reached over thirty percent!
Such coordinates that touch the soul’s deep layers could easily cross hundreds or even thousands of kilometers for positioning. With the help of the intelligence brain and the ring of arcane as the carrier, long-distance power transmission could be achieved.
Strictly speaking, this falls within the category of spiritual magic, much more advanced than electromagnetic wave communication. However, in Wizard Land, it is considered forbidden. Up until now, Lynn had only seen three people who possess similar abilities.
The first was Helram; he, through the extensive spiritual notes left by the Evil Mage Merck and his own intelligence, created an imperfect magic network and came up with the insane Soul Devouring Array, treating those wizards within the Faceless Meeting whose computing power was decrypted as nourishment to resurrect his daughter.

He was now also on this path, yet his tactics were more gentle, adhering to a strategy of sustainable development and mutual benefit. He provided knowledge, while the wizards contributed computing power, leading to mutual satisfaction without resorting to destructive, short-term exploitation.
The second was Aurora; she once left a magical imprint on his forehead, using it as coordinates to maintain the persistence of power; however, clearly, this kind of magic was intended for emergencies and required a lot from the caster, making it impossible to become widespread.
The third, of course, was the false god “Eira!”
Not only was the entity able to grant Divine Arts to priests and bishops, but at the level of cardinal bishop, it could serve as a coordinate for the transmission of Divine Power. The legendary clerics became so powerful that they could even open Heaven’s Gate and bring forth the true body of “Eira!”
Lynn has always suspected that the Divine Descent Technique and the ability of the church to grant Divine Arts have some similarities to his magic network, but lacking evidence, he has yet to confirm it.
“[Coordinate 043 has been located, the straight-line distance is one hundred fifty-nine kilometers, begin magic power transmission?]”
The prompt from the intelligence brain echoed in Lynn’s mind, drawing his attention back, and he immediately thought silently.
“Yes!”
…
Meanwhile, at the Sekas Empire’s border, within Mist Territory, a tragic battle was unfolding, with the sounds of conflict incessant.
“Kill these devils’ minions!” “For the glory of the Lord!”
The knights clad in silver armor charged to the front, their eyes filled with zeal and the color of slaughter, their long spears thrusting out repeatedly, killing several musketeers who were still reloading.
After taking down two more monsters, Ethan gestured toward a relatively safe spot nearby. “Let’s call it a day. The servers are about to shut down. We can log back in at 6 PM.”
“Servers are shutting down? Why?” Heaven’s Dawn asked, clearly puzzled.
“I’ve got insider info,” Ethan said with a smirk, trying to to sound convincing. “The game runs from 6 PM to 8 AM daily. Probably to make sure people don’t neglect their jobs or schoolwork.”
“Oh… that makes sense. I guess I’ll log off, then. I’ve got homework to finish anyway. See you at 6 PM, Big bro!” With a cheerful wave, she vanished, logging off without hesitation.
Ethan blinked, slightly taken aback. “You trust me that easily?” he muttered to himself before disconnecting as well.
—
Unknown to Ethan, Heaven’s Dawn logged back in at 7:59 AM, just before the servers closed.
Ding!
The electromagnetic cannon had undoubtedly played its part again!
The body of the giant, as grand as a hill, crashed down, crushing the two battling forces beneath it, and gallons of bright red blood splattered, staining the surrounding soil.
In this utterly chaotic battlefield, the switch between life and death occurred almost in the blink of an eye.
But there wasn’t just one such massive giant; soon many appeared across the battlefield, numerous and not only thick-skinned but also possessing high resistance to both physical and magic attacks, with superb equipment to boot.
Whether it was gunfire or low-tier magic hitting them, it only caused superficial wounds. Even the electromagnetic cannon, after penetrating the twenty-centimeter-thick special quality iron shields and armor, still wasn’t lethal unless it was focused fire or hit a vital spot.
Harrov, using force field magic, brutally tore apart two tall iron-clad giants, but still couldn’t remedy the deteriorating situation.
The timing of the appearance of these imperial legions was just too perfect; just as they were besieging the city, the enemy appeared out of nowhere behind them, launching a surprise attack!
Neither the airships nor the wizards in charge of sensing had noticed the slightest sign until the imperial legions approached and the ground began to vibrate, alerting them that something was amiss.
However, by then it was obviously too late; the artillery position at the rear collapsed directly under the charge of thousands of divine punishment knights, and the wizards stationed there couldn’t stop this group of knights, each beastly and enhanced with divine arts.
Not to mention the priests and bishops of the Church, who mingled among the silver-armored knights, their occasional divine arts causing great headaches.
For the musketeers, the most important thing was their formation. Once it broke down and they couldn’t form a dense barrage of fire, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, let alone facing a large number of divine punishment knights in open plains.
According to the tactics they had previously devised, when encountering a large force in plain areas, they must rely on armored vehicles for blockade, supplemented by machine guns and artillery and combined with aerial bombing. They aimed for an integrated air-ground defense to keep the enemy more than fifty meters away, determined not to let them get close.
Now, this plan clearly fell through… With their formation disrupted and being forced into close combat, the only thing they could do was figure out how to preserve as much manpower as possible in a retreat.
