The Holy War(19)

Just as Viscount Finn went silent, the Beale infantry at the valley’s battlefield met with trouble. The light cavalry formed by the Nagas’ Secret Army and Royal Cavalry Academy suddenly appeared beside them. The two armies, Finn Division and Constantine Division, which were initially blocking in front of them, had disappeared all of a sudden. Viscount Von Dougning came to realize that it was a trap.

It was illusion magic.

Finn Division and Constantine Division were caught on the Machenko and Villeko mountains/hills/slopes, their armies didn’t have the guts to cross through the explosion and fire. Brendel had taken this chance to order the Naga mages to create an illusion that these two armies had arrived at the valley’s battlefield by using magic. The illusion was created by using the water molecules in the air to change the light’s reflection. This was already the basics of water elemental magic and the hydrophilic Naga Priesthood were experts in creating illusions using water element. More importantly, Brendel was familiar with the formation of these two armies and he perfectly counterfeited their battle flag and the knight coat of arms, which caused Viscount Von Dougning to be caught in the trap.

Beale’s infantry division were attacking Count Audine’s noble private armies under Viscount Von Dougning’s orders, forming the only protrusion of the Northern Coalition Army. Meanwhile, the Nagas’ Secret Army and Royal Cavalry Academy circled around them, completely surrounding them.

Viscount Von Dougning could only hope that the Finn and Constantine Divisions could appear at the moment to block those two armies. However, the explosion and fire-burning at Machenko and Villeko peaks had lasted for almost five minutes as though the explosive arrows shooted by the archers were free of charge. It formed into a barrier of barrage. He did not even expect the archers to stop shooting due to exhaustion of physical strength. One look and he knew that the opponent had divided the archers into several teams and they rotated in shooting. According to the abilities of the useless two, they were unlikely to appear on the battlefield before the archers ran out of arrows.

The final outcome of the battle was already hard to change.

It was the light infantry of Beale Division’s turn to be attacked. Originally, they had delusions of bypassing the princess to take center stage, but that was shattered because of Brendel’s appearance. The light infantry members were shaken in this moment., Although they still resisted, in such a besieged situation, it was just a matter of time until they eventually collapsed.

Brendel’s long roar passed through the entire forest, even the black wolves beside him had stopped. At the next moment, everyone felt the ground shake. It was not the shaking caused by the heavy cavalry, the entire valley had shook.

A large number of soldiers had fallen to the ground and the heavy cavalry of the Feit Division was even more of a mess. They had just accelerated towards the battlefield and fell backwards row by row. Many soldiers broke their neck before they could even get to the battlefield.

But no one cared about the battlefield anymore.

A terrible roar came from underground. Everyone couldn’t help but look at the ground as it shifted. A kind of strange and terrible power was hidden below, the sound seeming to be the roar of a giant beast.

And it was approaching.

The origin of the huge sound was approaching the surface of the ground. Everyone looked up. Suddenly, lightning flashed between the earth and the gloomy sky. But that lightning was not struck from the sky, but from the ground.

A hole opened at the peak of Machenko Mountain and a dazzling white light shone from within.

“It’s over for Viscount Finn…”That was the only thing Count Vitokin could think of when he saw the scene. He seemed to realize something and immediately turned to his soldiers and shouted.

However, in the white light, a huge sound drowned out everything. After the piercing loud noise, everything went silent. Everyone saw the people around them yelling in horror, but they could only see their mouths moving but could not make any sound.

The high-pitched sound wave engulfed every sound, but strangely it made the world silent and people could no longer hear anything.

Then the sound of a loud explosion swept over them like a fierce gale. The strong sound wave rippled out in a ring over the battlefield. All the light and heavy infantry and the Dragon Cavalry were blown back more than ten meters before falling on the ground.

The entire valley shook as if the Arreck Mountain Ranges were about to collapse.

The white light had split the link between the Machenko and Villeko mountains.

A long time passed.

By the time Vitokin recovered his wits and stood up to look over the battlefield, the heavy cavalry of the Feit Division, half of the heavy infantry and one third of the Stevenson Division had disappeared.

Machenko Mountain had almost leveled while Villeko Mountain was left with only the bottom half.

Only a deep rift was left between the two mountains. The rift was too deep to be seen and was covered by white mist. The white mist rose and formed into a huge tornado. Count Vitokin’s mind was still a mess and he couldn’t come up with a single command suitable for this situation when the white mist began to rise to form a tornado.

All the people that were still alive raised their heads and looked at the tornado which grew and spun rapidly to tens of meters above the ground. It was obviously more than just wind as everyone felt a huge pressure on the battlefield.

Then a majestic voice immediately covered the entire battlefield.

“Humble mortals, thank you for breaking the seal for me.” A thunderous voice came from the wind. The stormy clouds gathered above it and the rain suddenly became heavy. Lightning flashed between the clouds and they gathered on the whirlwind. “But I hate people who disturb the grace of serenity.”

Within the rain, all the people around Brendel were stunned. Only Brendel looked at the tornado and felt amazed.

Even the entrance lines are the same.

Then that guy’s temper should still be the same.

At the other side of the battlefield, Garlock the Wanderer who was casting his spell paled and quickly turned around and shouted at Count Vitokin, “Command your subordinates to prepare for the battle. Hurry, before it’s too late!”

But in fact, it was already too late.

The tornado suddenly snorted with extreme dissatisfaction, “What is this…” A silver Lines of Laws from the cloud striked in the air and then exploded into a bright arc of lightning, “Dismantling of Spells?”

“How dare you intend to attack me with the Dismantling of Spells?”

“You worms are seeking death!”

Garlock raised his pale face and saw numerous vortexes of thunder and lightning above him. Then they all struck.

In that moment, a storm of lightning covered the battlefield.
