Mage Legend-Chapter 819 - 55: Seeking_4

Soka pouted, a trace of fear on her face, and said worriedly, "Although I'm happy to find Brother Lynch, Sister Zilvra, do you really have to be so scary?"

The Dark Elf slowly calmed down, gently stroked Soka's hair, adjusted her breathing, and slowly explained, "In short, as long as you ensure Yilinrui's physical condition is fine. Do your best. No matter what happens outside, you must not leave Yilinrui's side until Lynch returns."

Soka nodded, her little nose sniffed the air twice, then flapped her wings to track the elf's scent and flew away.

Zilvra turned her head, looking at the other two standing in the command room. It seemed they already knew what the Dark Elf wanted to say, as Morgan's eyes were filled with a warlike and excited glow.

"Dwarf, as you wish, we will stay and fight," Zilvra said, folding her arms, her gaze fixed on the map displayed by the Magic Crystal. "Let's beat them until they cry for their parents!"

"Hey! Now that's more like it!" The Dwarf struck his Warhammer fiercely on the map's Snake-man Camp, creating a large crack on the table.

However, war is not as simple as wielding a hammer, especially when outnumbered. To prevent spies from infiltrating, the Five Realms Fortress's gates were tightly shut, allowing no one in or out. Warriors who retreated from other battlefields could only camp in the valleys over ten miles away, supplied by a convoy.

This effort had some effect, as all soldiers focused their energy on the imminent large-scale battle, and external news—whether good or bad—had no emotional impact. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The Snake-men were also not idle; with the help of the giant Purple Worms, they continuously burrowed forward. However, the walls of the Five Realms Fortress were firmly connected to the earth, deeply piercing the land's heart. Through the Dwarves' years of hard work, no force could break through this barrier from underground.

Unless someone could turn the entire mountain range upside down, the Purple Worms could only dig trenches on the surface.

The Five Realms Fortress's Catapults could not reach those trenches, nor were the All-Knowing Tower's Crossbow Cannons suitable for ground bombardment, so the Snake-men worked methodically. They assembled oddly shaped weapons in the trenches, using the terrain as cover, slowly moving towards the walls of the Five Realms Fortress.

Zilvra had long noticed this situation. Although she didn't know the devices' function, she devised effective defensive measures. Especially when countless torches ignited in the trenches, lighting up half the sky, Zilvra knew their attack was imminent.

With the power of "science," the Snake-man army's siege Catapults had a longer range than the Five Realms Fortress's highly positioned Catapults. In an instant, countless projectiles were launched into the sky, raining down on the city like a deadly storm. Many projectiles, thanks to "unique technology," exploded into flames midair, scattering to the ground.

These flames couldn't be extinguished with water, and even grew fiercer. People in the city could only beat them with objects and search for sand to cover the burning spots. Those not on the front line tried to extinguish the rampant flames, causing chaos in the city.

A second wave of Flame Bombs soon followed.

Zilvra, seeing this scene clearly from the All-Knowing Tower, immediately ordered the Demon Statue Norton to maneuver the Flying Fortress to lower altitude. The massive city blocked the walls of the Five Realms Fortress, bearing all the Flame Bombs' impacts alone.

Feeling the external threat, the All-Knowing Tower's Elemental Defense activated instantly, an Air Element storm enveloping the entire city. In front of the trenches, sand and stones flew, lifting everything on the ground into the air, forming a black earthen wall. The Flame Bombs howled as they hit this storm wall, their flames extinguished immediately, mercilessly thrown into the distant sky.

The soldiers of the Five Realms Fortress cheered. With the All-Knowing Tower staying to fight alongside them, this almost became their last hope. With this barrier buying time, the city's flames were quickly extinguished, leaving only rising smoke.

The Snake-men ceased their Flame Bomb attacks and resumed their work, seemingly prepared for the current situation. Zilvra, hands resting on the control tower window, softly said, "This is just the first attempt..."
