500: Chapter 85, Forge Ahead_1 500: Chapter 85, Forge Ahead_1 Massive numbers of Hawkman Scouts started disappearing without a trace, this caught the attention of the Hawkman Officers.

After it was reported to the higher-ups, the news quickly reached the Bimon Emperor.

“So, what was bound to come, has finally arrived!

My good son knows how to make his moves exceptionally well.

He has managed to mobilize all those old persistent figures from the Human Race.

I have been playing along for decades.

Why couldn’t I just keep playing along?

Why must he force my hand at this moment?

Pity, he’s still too naive.

Does he think keeping a low profile would make all his doings invisible to everyone?

Is he not aware that he was on the wrong path right from the start?

A pampered prince, he gathers a group of followers and suddenly thinks he’s the chosen one?”

The Bimon Emperor stifled his emotions after mumbling to himself.

His demeanor took on a gloomy air.

“Guards, send out the order.

Have all troops prepare for battle.

The humans are coming for a counter-attack,

Send someone to inform the Crown Prince that I am unwell.

Let him handle the current affairs at hand, and then rush to take command.

Notify the other Four Royal Families that human reinforcements have arrived.

Tell them to hasten and obliterate Warhammer Kingdom.

…”

With series of orders issued, the Bimon Emperor, who had tempered his emotions, manifested nothing but rationality, just like a machine devoid of feelings.

The path to eternal life was a lonely one.

From the unbearable sorrow at the death of his oldest son to the numb acceptance of the present, the Bimon Emperor’s heart has hardened into an immovable rock.

Perhaps he allowed himself to be emotional occasionally, but those were merely diversions in a tedious life.

At this juncture, eternal life and powerful strength are Bimon Emperor’s ultimate pursuits.

In order to achieve his goals, he is willing to pay any price.

…

“Attack!”

Accompanied by this battle cry, a special team consisting of “old men” appeared on the battlefield where humans and Beast Clans were fighting.

The sky was a whirl of magic, signifying the start of a great war.

Meteor firestorm, falling icy rocks, Earth Pulse, wind blades, thunder and lightning…The scene was even more spectacular than those in blockbuster movies.

Thousands of mages acted in unison – the spectacle was too shocking for words.

A Bearman Heavy Infantry Corps at the frontier of Orc Army had no idea what was happening and was directly sent to their Beast God amid dazzling fireworks.

“Mounted crossbows fire; Magic Crystal Cannons, turn the muzzles around.

Sacrifice Shaman, quickly restrain the enemy’s Mage Corps!”

The command of Augustine was delivered, and it scared the Sacrifice Clan behind him half to death.

Restraining the enemy’s Mage Corps on the battlefield was their duty, but that also depended on the actual situation.

From their physical structure, it is clear that the Orcs were more suited to be warriors.

Indeed, the military strength of the Orc Empire had always dominated the Northern Three Kingdoms, but in the field of magic, they were at a disadvantage.

It was not because the Sacrifice Clan was not competent enough, but because of the limits of the racial magical talents.

Among the Five Royal Clans, there was an ample number of prospective warriors, but those capable of practicing magic were few and far between.

Most didn’t even need to be trained and were natural warriors once they reached adulthood.

Due to a lack of magical talent, the Orcs’ magic power relied on the blessings of the divine spirits.

The Sacrifice Clan that shouldered both the duties of offering sacrifices to divine spirits and the magic attack output held a special position within the Orc Clan.

Luckily, the Beast God was versatile in all aspects of the law.

If it specialized in only one sector, like the Lord of the Dawn, the Beast Shaman would have been at a disadvantage.

Reliance on the power granted by the divine beings was bound to have its limitations, and it was also limited by the degree of religious devotion.

Under such conditions, the Sacrifice Clan naturally could not grow in strength.

Even restraining the Mage Corps of the Northern Three Kingdoms was already their best performance.

In front of them was a Mage Corps full of experienced and strong old men.

They were undoubtedly the cream of the crop.

Even if all the mages in the Northern Three Kingdoms were gathered, they could not form such a formidable array.

How could a single Sacrifice Clan manage to restrain them?

Wars didn’t abide by principles of fairness.

Even if they could not win, they still had to fight.

Now that orders had been issued, they at least needed to try.

Although their thinking was good, reality was a slap in their faces.

The actions of the Sacrifice Clan exposed their position.

Seeing this scene, the group of Sorcerers who were originally just watching the excitement became interested.

Meteor firestorm, Earth Pulse, tornadoes, falling icy rocks…

Except for forbidden spells, every advanced magic that humans could master could be found here.

Sparks flew as magic from both sides collided in the sky, yielding a radiant brilliance.

However, this stalemate didn’t last long, and soon, the battle turned one-sided.

Facing a magic attack hovering over their heads, the Sacrifice Shaman hastily erected an energy shield but to no avail against the absolute power of those attacks.

Aside from a few powerful sacrifices who reacted quickly enough to escape the range of the magic attack, all others were reduced to ashes.

Augustine, the commander in chief, was also affected due to his proximity to the Sacrifice Clan.

Although he narrowly survived, he was left in shambles.

After escaping death narrowly, Augustine’s mindset had entirely changed.

Annihilating the Human Army?

Not anymore.

Rationality told him that these formidable enemies were not something his troops could handle.

“Guards, pass on the orders, let the Pigg Legion and the Ratman Legion launch an…

Just before the word “attack” had left his mouth, he swallowed it back.

The enemy, instead of using the superiority of their Mage Corps to continue their offense, initiated an all-out attack.
