Chapter 511: Fairy...law!
At one point, Hughes truly began to doubt whether he’d come to the right place.
His mission was simple on paper: capture the Dragon Slayer on the floating island where the magic crystal was being stored. And sure, the floating island was here... but where was the crystal?
Weren’t they told it was the size of a mountain?
He stood there blinking for a few seconds before the realization hit him.
Right. This was Earth Land.
And the mages of Earth Land likely had some way to restore the magic crystal to its full form.
Which meant, he wasn’t just facing a few people anymore. He might be facing... an entire city.
That sounded like a challenge, but Hughes didn’t think much of it. Compared to the grandeur of the Royal Capital, this place looked like a countryside village, no towering buildings, no walls brimming with defense turrets.
It seemed like most of the people here were just civilians. And of the magicians? Only a handful were likely to be troublesome.
"Legion Squad, encircle! Magic War Troop, advance!"
Hughes gave the command smoothly, as if this were routine. In battle, a true captain didn’t hide behind others, he stood on the front lines, even if only to clean up the mess afterward.
Immediately, over two hundred Legion soldiers began to fan out, forming a loose encirclement pattern like they had with the Exceeds.
