Chapter 589: 589
What Is A Magic Civilization?
The sky shook and the clouds rolled. Although most of the magic cannons locked on to the fortress had been stopped, several heavy attack formations from the central island remained hostile.
The intimidation of the Forbidden Spell was obviously ineffective against them.
Therefore, he had to use his true ability to block it!
” Calculating elemental genealogy!”
On the bridge of the Evergreen Song, the Chief Mage pressed on the crystal balls on both sides, closed his eyes, and spread out his spiritual power. He swam between heaven and earth, communicating with the ship’s magic core. The attack platform was already at full power!
The sky suddenly flashed for a moment.
The mage tower on the west side of the central main island glowed like a mirror.
“Calculation complete!”
“The enemy’s magic device type has been confirmed!”Hawkeye Officer shouted. Flame Son Light Spear Type Heavy Fire Element Launcher! It’s developed by the Arcane Magic Council’s Flash Fire Alchemy Research Center!”
The second half of the report was just routine.
” Deconstruct the elemental model,” the chief mage ordered.” Change the Swift Wind mode and activate the Frost Agreement! 2 o’clock, 30 degrees, set up Ice Mist Prism Crystals!”
The dreamy mist spread and dispersed like the breath of the Goddess of Winter. A freezing wind blew from the side of the Evergreen Song, and the air instantly turned cold. A large amount of seawater was blown into the air, then turned into dazzling ice flowers and mist that slowly fell, forming a cage of ice and snow.
The glowing mage tower array glowed with a bright red light.
A blazing flame beam shot out from the magic fortress array on the island, and the brilliant light beam shot straight at the refraction unit on the mage tower. The prism deflected the beam, forming an indestructible flame sword. Under the control of the mage tower, the surrounding sea area was within its attack range!
Song of Evergreen, Eagle Eye Officer’s warning sounded.
“Attack!”
The Flame Son Light Spear followed the rotation of the Wizard Tower’s refraction prism and slid rapidly along the sea toward the Evergreen Song and the Afu. The blazing fire burned the seawater along the way, and the clouds spread and soared!
“Activate the magical shield!”
The sword of fire swept across and hacked into the ice cage set up by the Evergreen Song. Countless transparent ice crystals refracted and deflected, dispersing the power of the Flame Son Light Spear. The extremely cold frost flowers were turned into water and then into fog under the sun flames. Using water to control fire was the ancient wisdom of living beings.
The weakened spear of light finally reached the hull of the Evergreen Song.
However, the Ice Magic Shield was already in full swing. The irregular uneven surface shield was the default model program. This was the foundation of the current overlord of Twilight Moon. The magic core of the ship was operating crazily, and the ice crystals and fire were in a stalemate. After ten seconds, the heat wave dissipated, and the light spear disappeared!
“It’s just so-so!”the Chief Mage roared.
“Your Excellency!” Hawkeye immediately threw a tantrum. Enemy Flame Son Light Spear Test Completed! The Mage Tower Deflecting Prism was on cooldown! The second wave of attack will be launched in 30 seconds! Our magic core is already operating at full capacity!”
“So what?”
The elven mage had already tossed his hat to the side. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were fierce. After being in the navy for a long time, even a spellcaster had become an irritable soldier ruffian.” Give it to me…”
The next moment, the alarm on the bridge rang, and the mast observation platform reported,” High-speed projectiles approaching! No high-energy elemental fluctuations detected!”
” Elemental lineage identification!” The Eagle Eye Officer shouted,” It’s shaped like a boulder projectile, a kinetic energy projectile weapon! High Chaos Elemental fluctuations detected!”
“Lanshan Dragon!” The Chief Mage’s eyes widened.” It’s the ‘Catapult Troop’!”
The ‘Catapult’ was a semi-magical war machine.
It was developed by the Lanshan Dragon Alchemy Research Center under the Arcane Magic Council.
This firearms company had taken a different approach. In the design concept of the magic device, which was an epoch-making weapon of war, they still adopted the original kinetic weapon delivery method of conventional warfare in the mortal world. They used the lever, gear, and torque-type force methods made of magic alloy to deliver high-quality enchanted bullets. The advantage of this was that they did not need to use spiritual force guidance, which was a high-precision but also high-demand delivery method. After all, the thousands of years of experience in war machines that mortals had accumulated were still effective.
Their philosophy was,” Magic is magic, geometry is geometry.”
The eyes of the chief mage shone brightly. Wherever the Eagle Eye reached, a huge sphere that was man-made and inlaid with several rings soared into the sky and flew rapidly across the sky!
“Prepare to intercept!” He ordered,”Switch the magic core, Thunder Cloud Lightning, Five Combo Strikes…”
In the next moment, he heard a loud boom.
The voice came from the rear. It was A’Fu, who was blocked by the Evergreen Song!
The Eagle Eye spell focused on the sky, and saw two black shadows whistling past like lightning. Even the spellcaster’s sharp mental strength could not notice the shape of these things. They were like arrows shot by the Moon God, one after the other, streaking across the sky and hitting the magic-guided bullet almost at the same time!
“My lord! Attack with the Super Heavy Ballistas on the rear of the friendly ships!”
The Chief Mage was not happy. Pay attention to your defense!”
As the chief mage of a flagship, he had to know the performance of the latest advanced magic devices like the back of his hand. The kinetic projectiles of the ” trebuchets ” were solid and relatively slow, which meant that they were easy to intercept. However, as a well-known military company, how could Lanshan Dragon not consider this problem!
Sometimes, intercepting was worse than not intercepting!
Two armor-piercing bullets, one in front and one behind, hit the huge magic projectile.
The metal hoops around the pellet suddenly collapsed.
Light flashed, and the huge, round rolling stone instantly exploded. Then, the magic formation flashed in the sky.
The Avenger-style Vector-Reflective System, which had won the Arcane Magic Council’s annual best design patent, was immediately activated. The Deflagration Array shot out in a targeted manner, pushing countless shrapnel down like a goddess scattering flowers!
Yes, the Avenger System would be activated when the bullet was blown up by the Interceptor spell. Its mechanism was very simple. It would send the bullet fragments, which still had a huge amount of lethality, in the direction of the Interceptor spell, scattering the countless fragments containing unstable energy!
“Shield switch! Thick Earth Defense…”
Then, a long river of flames rose from behind and swept into the sky.
“Friendly ships, open fire!”
Following the Hawkeye Officer’s report, countless dazzling rays of light shot into the sky. They were the trajectories of the tracers. What the naked eye could not see was the dense barrage of bullets in the sky!
The 23mm quad anti-air cannon and the M61A1 Vulcan cannon were the anti-air firepower that the two great powers of the United States and the Soviet Union were proud of. The former came from the legendary Shilka River self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, while the latter was simply a weapon system for dense formations.
Accompanied by the dispersing smoke and the continuous roar, the rolling metal storm swept into the sky.
Countless shells were thrown into the sea. The sea monsters that were suppressed by the flamethrowers were hit by the hot shells, and they screamed and dodged in all directions. In the sky, the broken bullets of the stone soldiers were swept by the dense fire storm and exploded in the air!
Countless smaller fragments exploded one after another, turning into dust that was blown away by the wind.
The sky was empty.
” That’s all.” Kant’s faint voice sounded in the communication channel.
The mages who were still fighting on the Evergreen Song were stunned.
Then, they heard Kant’s voice.
” Comrades of the Evergreen Song, the chief mage commanding the battle, the Knight Astolford, has joined the battle. Now, you have the combat support of the next generation of common frigate plan’s multi-purpose medium-sized warship. The entire Broken Islands are within the attack range. Now, tell us what to do.”
At this moment, the Evergreen Song warned again,[Flame Son Light Spear cooldown completed!]
“Activate the magical shield!”
The dazzling Ice Crystal Shield was unleashed, and it went head-to-head with the flying Sun Flames. The Magic Core was operating at full speed, and the Chief Mage shouted,” Your Highness Kant, destroy that Mage Tower!”
On the deck of the Afu, Messi Zhu also gave the same suggestion. The firing array of the Flame Son Light Spear was hidden and protected by layers of heavy fortresses. If they wanted to hit any corner of the surrounding sea, they would need to be reflected by the deflecting prism of the mage tower distributed all over the island.
Therefore, by destroying the Mage Tower and the Deflecting Prism, he could destroy the Flame Son’s attack path!
” The straight-line distance is forty-three kilometers. It’s already beyond the range of the 122mm howitzer.”
” There are three backup attack plans,” Horus said calmly.” Due to the urgency of the situation, the Evergreen Song’s magical core has been overloaded. We must fight and win quickly. Request missile strikes!”
“Agreed!”
” Connecting to the paams system. EMPR phased array radar is turned on. Target location confirmed. Heat source is obvious. Magic modified Aster missile is in place. Paragon element is charged. Charging complete…”
A big red button popped up on the console.
Horus then formed a mechanical arm and threw a punch.
“I’ll do it this time.”
Thick smoke billowed as the cover was opened. The indestructible longsword soared into the sky with a strong flame tail. It quickly rose to the sky and then swooped down toward the target under the control of the active radar at the end. The solid rocket boosters fell off, and the second-stage missile extended its stabilizing wings. It quickly soared to Mach 4!
It was like a flash of light, breaking a thought.
The mage tower’s controller didn’t even have time to activate the shield.
It was like a god drawing a bow and nocking an arrow. One moment, the arrow was released from the bowstring, and the next second, it hit the target.
As if it had transcended the concept of time and space, a black shadow swept across the top of the mage tower, and the high-explosive bullet exploded. The destructive and corrosive power of the Paragon Element seemed to have opened up a domain of death, devouring the upper half of the mage tower!
“Target destroyed!”
Shattered rocks flew everywhere, and the scattered elemental power collapsed in a violent chain. From top to bottom, explosions shook the mage tower. The prism was damaged, and the Flame Spear lost its deflecting tool. It shot helplessly into the sky and was then shut down. The Evergreen Song’s shaky ice shield finally recovered its azure color.
” Take note, the Flame Son Light Spear still has at least three backup Wizard Towers.” The Hawkeye Officer reported calmly, but his voice could not hide his excitement.” Detecting…” Warning!”
” The third heavy magic device, attack!”
“High-level water elemental energy detected! Confirming!”
On the bridge of Afu, Mei Xizhu’s expression changed.
At the same time, more warnings came. Witnessing the location of the mage tower! The third beam is coming!”
“The catapults are firing again! High-speed kinetic weapon detected!”
“Your Highness Kant!”
The Chief Mage’s voice rang out in the communication channel.” The Raging Tide Magic Array is made by our country’s Royal Alchemist Guild. It directly sets off a small area of whirlpool-shaped chaotic tides in the target sea area. It’s extremely powerful and dangerous. It’s very easy to capsize ships and capsize them!”
” Song of Evergreen will use all its power to interfere and neutralize the Raging Tide. Please deal with the kinetic attacks of the trebuchets and reduce the Raging Tide to a safe level. The magic core will need to be activated at an ultra-high power.”
” Therefore, the Evergreen Song will be sunk by the Flame Son Light Spear.”
” I’ve already selected volunteers. The remaining spellcasters will move to the Astolford as quickly as possible. Your Highness, please proceed to the nearest island under the cover of this ship. Under the threat of the raging tide, the sea is no longer safe. Your Highness, it’s an honor to-”
Kant tossed the walkie-talkie aside.
The gas turbine started to operate, and the propeller at the bow turned. The Astolford was like a nimble and elegant elf in the sea, gliding through the beautiful dance steps and crossing in front of the Evergreen Song!
In front of him, the Flame Son Light Spear that was adjusted and tested once again streaked across the sea and shot over.
Bullets rolled in the sky.
In the direction of the island, the terrifying flood of elements had completed its final charge.
“Prepare to receive the impact!”
On the Astolford, the two navies grabbed the nearest handle and pressed it against their bodies.
The turret was raised high and opened fire, shattering the rocks.
The anti-air artillery fire swept across the area, repeatedly cleaning up the area.
Kant’s eyes flashed. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Using the Paragon Engine as a connection, he connected to the River of Origin. Purple waves surged over and poured into the hull of the Afu. The light spear approached, and a blazing purple shield was activated!
As the spear of light struck, heat waves surged, and the tremors hit him. Kant strode forward and pressed down on the glass of the bridge. He extended his spiritual power, and the Fire Stealer’s telepathic thoughts perfectly blended with the elements of Paralysis. They were broken down, extracted, and turned into the purest elements that could burn everything. They surged into Kant’s palm!
In the direction of the island in the distance, a blue stream of light rose. It was the purest form of water element, constructing a huge amount of spell patterns. Once it was like water, it would be a turbulent tide.
On the Evergreen Song, the magic attack platform was activated. Mental strength was communicated, and mana was mobilized. Pure flames flowed and surged, and then soared into the sky, chasing after the elemental rainbow of the Raging Tide Magic Device!
Deconstruction! Weaken! Neutral!
Streams of magic power danced in all directions, and the azure light dimmed continuously.
Then, the spear of light extinguished, and the Deflecting Prism entered a cooldown state.
The kinetic energy bullet had already shattered.
Kant pressed the launch button.
An amethyst missile soared into the sky like a nine-star constellation and a goshawk swooping down.
Another mage tower collapsed.
The elemental rainbow of the Raging Tide Magic Device finally fell into the waters near the Afu after the Evergreen Song tried its best to induce, weaken, neutralize, and deconstruct it.
Countless model tactics came into contact with the mighty water elements. In the next moment, the wind on the surface of the sea rippled, and vortexes swirled with a loud rumble. The tide surged like the most terrifying storm, turning the two warships into lone boats in a tsunami. Their huge bodies rose and fell with the tide, and the sea monsters, who had almost become spectators in the intense magical confrontation, were thrown into the air by the violent waves and flew everywhere!
However, the Raging Tide, whose power had been greatly reduced, did not unleash its full potential.
” The Raging Tide will need half an hour to fully charge for the second time!”
“Evergreen Song!” Kant shouted. Abandon the ship immediately! Spell Caster, take off!”
The sea monsters that tried to break out of the sea were suppressed by the swarm of insects and flamethrowers. The ordinary marines had already evacuated to the Afu. The spellcasters who stayed behind took to the skies one after another. The magic core of the elven flagship was on the verge of collapse. Kant urged the mages who were reluctant to leave.” Hurry!”
By the time the last Spell Caster had left, there were no longer any living creatures on the ship. Kant dashed outside, and the Dimensional Door opened. The Evergreen Song disappeared.
” Ah, the damned Broken Islands sank an elven flagship.”
Kant returned to the bridge and sternly reprimanded the Broken Islands for their barbaric act of starting a war without a declaration. He ignored the subtle expressions on the captain and the Chief Mage’s faces and picked up his communication device.
“How’s the situation on your side?”
” Everything is as usual, Your Highness.”
As for the remaining two warships, one was a magic-armored warship, and the other was an elven flagship. Their situation was neither good nor bad. The sea monsters were still attacking them, but no magic-conducting device was aimed at them.
“Alright.”
Kant said,” Let’s move out now. Our target is the central island. Our enemies are there. The sea is no longer safe. We will land on the beach and meet up there!”
“Yes, sir!”
The response from the other side was loud and firm.
This was because the proud soldiers and powerful generals of these countries had witnessed what had happened today.
If the past interactions and battles had only made them realize that Kant was a powerful and generous conqueror, today’s events were enough to prove that he was the best ruler and leader.
Kant pointed ahead on the bridge.
On the central island.
” When they were attacked by the sea monsters, they also launched an attack. Under the threat of the forbidden spell, they were still stubborn. I guess our friends over there know everything. Now, we have to ask them.”
In the bridge, the captains and chief mages of the Song of Evergreen and the Snowpeak, Han Guangcheng, Mei Xizhu, and the other Kant’s direct descendants, as well as the officers of the two ships in the communication channel, were gradually becoming a whole in this dangerous situation. Only those who fought side by side and were tempered by blood and fire were a complete army.
“Full speed ahead!”
Kant turned around and looked at his officers.
“I’ve been in the industry for so long, but I’ve never been beaten up like today.”
“So…”
” Let’s go!” He reached out and slashed at the air.” Come with me and chop them alive!”
Everyone was shouting loudly in agreement.
The Afu cut through the waves and advanced at a speed of twenty-nine knots. Its target was the central island. Kant looked at the island that was getting closer and closer. It was about to reach the range of conventional firepower. He sneered.
He remembered a few numbers.
Half a month later.
He would disappear for eight to nine hours every day.
Seven times the time difference.
He didn’t just run back to get some food.
No matter what kind of sea monster it is, be it the Broken Islands, it’s time to show you!
