Chapter 337: Chapter 337: The Mage on the Battlefield

Overwhelmed, Fang Jie glanced at the countless Ghost Mages spread across the mountains, giving him a headache.

Initially, in order to better research magic, Fang Jie had produced several hundred Ghost Mages in one breath. However, after undergoing fission, these few hundred had become tens of thousands.

Now, they were everywhere, many Ghost Mages even overlapping each other.

It was only because they were quite unique that the streets could accommodate these ghosts.

Still, to research magic properly, they couldn’t just be stacked together; they needed to be separated, with some space between them. With so many Ghost Mages, even his own Mage Tower and the Ghost Academy couldn’t contain them.

"You there, and you, go build research stations around the city perimeter, and return to share your findings."

Fang Jie eventually had no choice but to disperse them. Hence, the Ghost Mages exchanged glances and most flew out of the city. Some simply found a random location, others sought unique and special places.

Some even ran to graveyards, the Skeleton Conversion Field, into the mountains, underground, even to the seaside and the ocean floor, and some to farmlands.

In summary, they went everywhere. Fang Jie hadn’t anticipated that this move would lay down a vast foundation for large-scale Magical faction development in his territory in the future. Although they were all Ghost Mages who came from the same place, their development couldn’t possibly all be the same.

While Fang Jie was busy with his intense research, the Mages of the Southern Blue Sand Kingdom finally reached the frontline.

After meeting up, the groups of Mages had prepared their combat tactics but did not gather together.

No one wanted to be in one place together, in case they got wiped out in one go. Such a loss wouldn’t just be simple; it would also lead to accountability, especially since many were members of the nobility.

Once they were in their own territory, those commanders were even more chaotic.

This led the Mages, who had long been prohibited from approaching the front lines and were treated almost like mascots.

But these Mages were now not just purely from academic backgrounds. Having fought along the way, they had gained their own understanding of war and had gradually become braver.

Finally, after persistent arguments one day, the Mages obtained the right to enter the battlefield.

"Remember, you must stay within the army, stay in the rear, and not go to the frontline, understood?"

The Mages nodded in agreement, each of them holding back their frustrations. The front-liners, who saw themselves as nobles rather than as a force, seemed to think that their presence even restrained some of the valuable troops.

Because of this, many privately held a bad impression of themselves.

After all, this was a battlefield. Only those who could bring victory and reduce casualties would earn their respect.

"Don’t worry, we won’t violate the orders."

Teeth gritted, the group began inscribing a Magic Array on the ground. Bystanders watched them busily, many with scornful expressions, unable to understand what was being done.

Had it not been for these people’s statuses, mocking would have likely started by now.

The war escalated, and distant Skeletons charged forward once more. The big battle erupted, and it wasn’t yet time for the human soldiers to enter the fray, as both sides had employed large numbers of Skeletons.

If they couldn’t deplete those Skeletons, wouldn’t they essentially be using their own money to enhance the Undead’s strength?

This was a mutual understanding, and despite the deathly combat, it remained the prevailing thought.

However, at this moment, the Mages finally showed their might. Using the Magic Array on the ground, along with their prior practice, the Mages in small teams gathered their Magic Power.

The Mage in the center of the Array maneuvered this pooled Magic Power through the Magic Array and launched it at the enemy in one go. In the rear of the battlefield, a Fireball suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The Fireball flew over the soldiers and fell right into the enemy camp before everyone’s eyes.

Suddenly, the Fireball exploded like a bomb, sending shockwaves spreading outwards. Wherever it passed, all the Skeletons were blown away, even those that were of a Bronze level were instantly annihilated.

Only those of Silver level could withstand it with their own strength. But they also couldn’t be directly hit; otherwise, they were at least severely injured. This Fireball completely overturned everyone’s impression of Mages.

"The power, how terrifying, deserving of a Mage indeed."

"You’re mistaken, it’s not just the power that’s terrifying. The range is even more frightening."

Indeed, this range was beyond what ordinary ranged attacks could achieve. Actually, for Mages to attack from such a distance was also difficult, primarily because they used combined magic, which allowed them to release magic at such a distance.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, hitting a White Bone Griffin Knight.

That was a powerful Gold-level being. Feeling the attack, the White Bone Griffin Knight thrust his weapon upwards at the sky. The lightning struck the knight’s spear and instantly exploded.

"He’s injured—he actually managed to injure a Gold-level strong person."

Everyone’s gaze changed in an instant; the one who controlled the Magic Array was Silver-level, and although the injury wasn’t severe, it was an injury nonetheless. What if there were more Mages, stronger ones?

If the one controlling the Magic Array were a Gold-level Mage, would it be possible to obliterate a White Bone Griffin Knight every time?

The power of a White Bone Griffin Knight was not trivial, absolutely top-tier among Gold-level beings.

Apart from their own Skeleton Flying Dragons, which could suppress them due to innate characteristics, other kingdoms’ Gold-level strong people couldn’t even last a few moves against a White Bone Griffin Knight. Such was their fearsome power.

If it weren’t for this combat prowess, the two nations wouldn’t have been so wary of these Undead.

Aside from their special buildings producing Golden Troops, the entire kingdom would struggle to threaten these beings.

Large magic spells fell upon the camp, and the enemy numbers rapidly reduced. Had these not been Undead, but a normal army, they would probably have completely collapsed by now.

This battle fully demonstrated the powerful combat capabilities of these Mages.

Everyone’s attitude toward Mages quietly changed. They were truly the meat grinders of the battlefield.

Those who were initially resentful of the all-encompassing checks and the rapid development of Mages also changed their minds. It seemed this development was highly beneficial, not only for the nation but also for themselves. The role of these Mages was indeed very powerful.
