Chapter 921: Volume 29, Sword Qi Points from Afar, Chapter 15: Annihilation

```

Two dazzling beams of light burst from the muzzle and expanded abruptly, crossing the sky in a bright flash. The distance of several kilometers seemed like a mere step as they spanned across in an instant.

Komer and Fran both held up their Mirrors of Thousand Miles, their gaze unwavering as they observed the situation within the enemy camp. This was the first time the Magic-armed guns had been used in land combat, their powerful destructive abilities had already been fully demonstrated in naval fleet battles. Gray skull had managed to drive out the so-called Mediterranean Queen, Katerina of the Carter Fleet, from the North Mediterranean through the utilization of this trump card, thus emerging as the new overlord between the Mediterranean and the Nether Sea. However, when the Red-haired Witch Katerina also acquired these weapons from Komer, Gray skull’s advantage vanished, and they were immediately deposed from their pedestal, with the Carter Fleet regaining absolute control over the entire Mediterranean.

Komer knew too well that these two Magic-armed guns were actually not quite suitable for land warfare. The equipment, mainly powered by fire-elemental metal and Fire-Elemental Crystal Stone Powder as magic power substances, released predominantly Fire Magic. This was undoubtedly lethal against mostly wooden-structured ships in naval battles, but when it came to terrain wars where inflicting casualties on enemy warriors or stone-structured city walls was the main focus, the effectiveness might not be as pronounced. Nevertheless, Komer had no other choice. If he lost this battle, everything might have to start over. Komer could not afford to lose, and for bombarding such dense formations, the Fire Magic power could still exert considerable attack power, especially when hitting those elite knight forces or the sharp edge of the formation, the psychological and morale impact on the enemy could still be tremendous.

Through the Mirror of Thousand Miles, as the two rainbow-like beams of light descended into the enemy camp, Komer noticed a slight spatial disturbance immediately emerging within the enemy ranks.

At that moment, intense magic power struck the ground, and the scorching heat wave instantly scorched dozens of soldiers at the epicenter into charred carcasses, curled up on the ground like sections of wood stakes burned by Fire Demons. The pungent smell of burnt flesh filled the air, with the temperature on the ground alarmingly high. The white mist rising from the ground was cleared away in an instant.

Soldiers surrounding the center of impact fared no better, their agony palpable as many of them, unguarded, clutched their eyes and rolled on the ground, screaming. The sudden bright light blinded them temporarily, causing excruciating pain in their eyes. Soldiers closer to the blast suffered burns on their exposed skin due to the extreme heat, howling in pain, dropping their scorching weapons, and scattering in all directions.

The advancing formation shook violently as if struck by an immense fist, causing a severe tremor. The distant soldiers had no idea what had happened but could surmise that the beam of light wasn’t a blessed light from the God of Light. The shrill cries of the central soldiers already proved as much. Although insufficient to stop the advance of the entire formation, it was evident that soldiers’ morale had suffered a not insignificant blow.

Even the Magicians and Church Knights, seasoned as they were, were stunned by the sudden and fierce strike. Light Magic Array? It didn’t seem likely, as the soldiers looked more like victims of Fire Demons. Fire Magic Array? That also seemed unlikely, as there were no signals, not even signs of elemental fire gathering nearby—just a sudden eruption of Fire Magic power. Star Magic Array? It somewhat resembled that, with magic attacks descending from the sky, but the white beam seemed to originate within the enemy camp rather than from the release of Starry Sky Power. Furthermore, such a method of employing star power was unheard of and unseen before.

What on earth was going on?

Trajan leaped up frantically to observe the enemy’s formation, which remained robust, unwaveringly advancing towards his own side, as if nothing had happened. Enraged to the brink of spitting blood, Trajan was left utterly frustrated by this unforeseen attack. Three Heavenly Peng Knights had turned into char without a sound, and still, he could not determine who the enemy was or the causes of their demise. How could he not feel despondent and angry?

Such an attack, appearing and disappearing without a trace, was beyond comprehension. If the opponent continued to launch such assaults consistently, there was no point in continuing the battle; his side would only end up fleeing in disarray.

With a stern, grim expression, Susanov issued orders non-stop to ensure that the army, whose morale had been greatly affected, maintained formation. The enemy’s sudden attack disrupted his plans, with three Sky Peng Knights falling victim to that bizarre airborne strike, and the eerie sight of soldiers charred to cinders greatly disturbed the surrounding troops. After the Magicians confirmed that this was not a result of a magical attack, the widely knowledgeable Susanov began to suspect that this was likely a strike from some kind of magical equipment. However, such magical equipment seemed too incredible to believe—it could launch attacks from such a great distance in such a mysterious way.

The magicians released a series of Ice Magic and White Magic to help the wounded soldiers recover. The combined strength of the magician forces in the Union Camp was now clearly demonstrated in this area. Hundreds of soldiers injured by burns were quickly brought under control and rejoined the ranks after a series of White Magic and Light Magic healing. Apart from a few dozen soldiers who died on the spot, the Magic-armed guns had hardly caused any significant damage to the Union Camp—but of course, this was just the appearance.

Komer somewhat regretfully put down the Mirror of Thousand Miles. The Union Camp had not been thrown into disarray by his preemptive strike, and their commander and magic strength had also performed exceptionally well. It was clear from their ability to quickly control the situation and help the injured soldiers rejoin the battle just how high their overall level was. This was going to be an extraordinarily brutal fight.

The Magic-armed guns could perhaps be used one more time. The Mirror of Thousand Miles showed that their magicians were starting to gather in small numbers. It was clear they had realized the threat of the enemy’s secret weapon, and once the Magic-armed gun was activated again, the opposing magicians would definitely use their Perception Magic to locate the exact position of the Magic-armed gun in order to immediately launch a magic attack. The only defense against such precision strikes, aside from using magicians to counter-attack, was unlikely to save the Magic-armed gun since their own magic strength was inferior to the opponent’s.

With a tinge of regret, he sighed. It seemed like the only option was to abandon the two Magic-armed guns. In such a situation, it was unexpected that such a fierce attack still hadn’t achieved the intended goal, while the enemy’s reaction was so swift.

Komer once again used Magic Transmission to communicate with Fran and started ordering the signallers to signal the Thunder Peng Knights in the sky to prepare for a raid. Once the enemy magicians came together to strike at the Magic-armed guns, it would also provide an excellent opportunity for the Thunder Peng Knights who had been circling in the sky looking for chances. The best time to deal them a fatal blow was when these magicians were fully focused on mobilizing their magic attacks.

When the Magic-armed guns unleashed their power again, the Church of Light magicians who had been closely monitoring the Homer Camp immediately located the two points of light emission. The Thunder Magic that had been prepared for a long time burst forth in the sky, the thick essence of Thunder Element, Wind Element, and Fire Element filling the air above the Homer Camp. The magicians, who were indignant at the Homer Camp’s daring to scorn the power of the Church of Light magicians, had mobilized en masse, releasing all possible attack power in this moment. They were determined not only to strike at the audacious magic equipment but to take the opportunity to completely break through the Homer Army’s formation.

The magicians bravely stepped out of the camp towards the Homer formation to manifest and show commitment. The distance between the two sides was too great for magic arrays and spells to be cast over thousands of kilometers, so they needed to close the gap to achieve their goal, which was quite dangerous—especially when facing the hidden knightly strength within the Homer Camp, as they could be liable to a lethal attack at any moment. But this did not seem to frighten the magicians, as the figures swarming out behind them proved that they were not alone.

Trajan and Kent certainly knew that getting close to cast magic strikes was very dangerous. These magicians, with their weak melee capabilities, were extremely likely to encounter an assault from the enemy camp’s strike force. But this time, with the full deployment of the Thunderhorse Knights and the Sky Peng Knights as escorts, followed closely by the Nirvana Knights bringing up the rear, such formidable power made the Homer Knight Order’s meager strength seem trivial. Even if Komer had some hidden powerful forces, Trajan and Kent did not believe that anyone would be so presumptuous as to attack under their watch.

However, they seemed to have forgotten one thing; many of these barbarian soldiers came from the Cordillera Wilderness. In addition to having physical attributes beyond what mortals could compare, they also brought many things unknown in the mortal world, such as the Thunder Peng!

After releasing the second volley, the Magic-armed guns were faced with an overwhelming magical onslaught. Although the Union Mage Corps did their utmost to fend off this dense barrage of magic, the effect was not good. Komer did not deliberately concentrate the magicians’ strength to protect these Magic-armed guns. He felt that it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed. Rather than protecting them at all costs, it was more worthwhile to maintain his own soldiers’ formations without taking too much damage.
