Chapter 792: Volume 24 Beacon Fire Linking Camps - 5 Minor Setback
A thousand meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, the knights who had already entered the charge phase began to consciously control their speed and frequency. They needed to maintain a relatively complete formation for the assault, while the Barbarian Soldiers under their sturdy armor halted their steps and embedded their Tower Shields firmly into the mud. Sharp spears protruded through the gaps of the shields, forming a dense spear forest, ready to face the first wave of the knights’ attack.
Lecler cautiously signaled to Bronin to slow down and steady their footing to accumulate as much power as possible. They deliberately reduced their speed just to wait for the hidden Royal Court Magicians behind them to give these unprepared Barbarians an impressive show. Only by using this method could they make these inferior species understand why Mortals deserved to stand at the pinnacle among the races of the Continent and also make them realize that inferior races would always be inferior, unable to forget themselves due to a moment of luck!
The dark clouds had quietly formed above the Battlefield. Komer and Mihailovich noticed the anomaly immediately. They stealthily lurked behind the Infantry Formation, observing this change. Following closely behind them, Clarence and Sheferley looked slightly pale. After learning about the involvement of the Three Saints of the Church of Light and that the Nicosia Court Mage Group would be joining the battle, both of them had been restless. However, holding on to the dignity of mages, they still participated in this war. Even when facing a formidable enemy, a mage would not abandon their promise, which is the fundamental survival rule of a mage.
"Thunderclouds?!" Mihailovich’s brows furrowed, "Sir, are those guys going to launch a thunder-based magic?"
"Hmph, not just thunder-based magic, but a thunder-based combination magic comparable to a Thunder Magic Array!" Komer’s face was also overcast. "This bunch really knows their stuff about Barbarians and Half-Beastmen; they even knew to use thunder-based magic against them!"
"Sir, both the Barbarians and Half-Beastmen have undergone training under various types of magic, but they still can’t withstand the blows of magic that are too strong. We have to stop their actions!" Mihailovich said sternly.
"That’s unlikely. A thunder-based combination magic isn’t something you and I can stop. This type of combination magic is effectively equivalent to a small-scale magic array. Moreover, it forms quickly and is convenient for rapid deployment. However, it requires mages who are familiar with each other and whose mana is interconnected to coordinate the casting, and they perfectly meet these conditions." Komer shook his head. "Now we can only hope that our warriors can withstand this first strike! We still need to act according to our pre-established plan!"
"Clarence!" Komer raised his voice.
