Chapter 606 - Anxiety and Fear

Chapter 606: Anxiety and Fear

When the flaming red and aqua-blue leathers depicting countless magic symbols were connected by the formation projected by the gem at the top of Tunin’s staff, the arch-sorcerer began to focus all his attention in muttering incantations in a solemn expression.
As his voice constantly changing in loud and low volume, Krole and more than 20 grand sorcerers wearing blue or red robes who had at least seven silver stars embroidered on their chests began to cleverly grasp the rhythm and joined in with the chanting.
In this chanting sound that was getting more and more hurried, the water and fire elements on the solid ground of Gaoden Hill began to accumulate rapidly. Numerous weeds and bushes were not burnt or submerged but there was a fascinating illusion of reddish lava and blue waves on the rooted soils.
What was more peculiar was that the air was slowly filled with the unique sulfur smell of the volcanic zone and the unique salty smell of the beach as well.
It was natural for Zhang Lisheng, who was hiding deep in the ground, to be unable to smell the strange smell of the ground. However, the young man who had been monitoring the war situation on the surface could see that the entire battlefield had turned to become a raging flame and blue ocean from hilly mountains in a very short period of time. At once, his jaw dropped in great bafflement.



Tuan, what the hell is this?
Pointing at the red and blue rapid currents in front, the young man asked the chief priest who had the most encyclopedic knowledge.

Your Majesty, such a magical scene must be a forbidden spell.
The aged priest looked at the water curtain and analyzed it in a solemn expression.
There are not many forbidden spells that are activated through the combination of water and fire elements. There’s only one that is known to the world—Fire Sea Deep Pool. Legend has it that this spell will use sea of fire to devour everything and then instantly cover the lava with glaciers to cause the ground to collapse and instantly turning the high mountain into flat land while the plain will become lake…


Then it should be a topography weapon. What a huge ‘surprise’.
Zhang Lisheng interrupted Tuan’s words with a frown.
After muttering to himself, he stretched out his right hand and made a stroke movement toward the water curtain, sensing that the red and blue torrents on the battlefield became slightly stagnant. At once, the worries on his face changed as a slight smile appeared on it.
I can’t control the flame but I have absolute control over water and soil. However, if I let these arrogant heresy reap what they sow, all of those Wizard Li warriors will probably be buried too. Tell me, what should I do then?


Your Majesty, the curse has been regarded as the only spell that can harm the gods since ancient times.
Tuan replied after a long moment of silence before replying incessantly,
Only a sorcerer who has reached the legendary rank can cast that spell directly, at the cost of losing all his sorcery power for at least two years, and have his physique becomes even worse than an average person. Judging from the troop flag of our heresy, it should be the Yassen unihorn imperial guard. With the pride of the legendary sorcerer, even if he rendered a service to the Yassen Palace, he would only stay beside the Dignity King, and will never join the unihorn imperial legion. For this reason, this spell must be led by a fire- or water-based arch-sorcerer together with several arch-sorcerers or several dozens of grand sorcerers and be cast with the help of an extremely valuable formation chart. Since it is cast by a formation chart that can only be used once, the intention is a little ambiguous now that they still haven’t activated it after so long…


Then this means that this forbidden spell is just nothing but a threat.
Even though Zhang Lisheng was ignorant of world affairs on Earth, he had heard news such as nuclear threats and nuclear blackmail before so he immediately realized what was going on. After a moment of contemplation, he said,
If that’s the case, there’s no need to expose my ability so quickly. Still, I can’t let those heretics look down on us. Arudada, pass my orders and tell all the Wizard Li warriors on the ground to stop their assault. Dispatch the Skybeast to drive away from the heresy and make sure they’re at least three thousand steps away from the fortifications.

The so-called Skybeast was also the biochemical weapon possessed by the ancient gods of the Hellfire ancient gods. Right now, they could already be produced collaboratively by the Wizard Li high priests but the output was very low, with only several dozens of warships monthly. They were also small in size, with a length from head to tail that was less than a kilometer long and a width of less than 100 meters. However, it was enough to carry out conventional warfare.

Yes, Great God.
A tall and sturdy native dispatch warrior beside retreated with the Wizard Li God’s order.
After more than ten seconds later, the hundreds of thousands of Wizard Li warriors who had been fighting without any fear of death, and ignoring the phantom image of the raging flame and waves underneath them immediately retreated abruptly when they heard the sound of a desolate horn being blown.
Tunin whose cold face had turned pale because of the exhaustion of his power felt great relief when he saw that the barbarian troop in the distance had already retreated like a tide. At once, he gradually stopped muttering his chant.


The instant he stopped, the surrounding sorcerers also stopped chanting as though great boulders were lifted off their shoulders. Some people even lost their bearing and fell sitting on the ground, breathing rapidly and were unable to move for a long time.

The willpower of these barbarian warriors are really horrifying. To think that they could still maintain a strong fighting power after the forbidden spell appeared…
The short and fat water-based arch-sorcerer was also exhausted but he still carefully folded the leather skin formation chart on the person instantly, while purposely saying with a great sigh of emotions.

Krole, the reason they are so is not because of their willpower, but because they are ignorant. It’s because of this that they are fearless.
After being stunned for a while before realizing the intention of his old friend’s encouragement, Tunin glanced at the sorcerers who had a shocking expression around them and sighed in his heart before answering loudly,
These barbarians don’t understand the horror of this spell so that’s why they are fearless.

The instant the unihorn grand sorcerer finished his words, a dense black shadow suddenly rose in the barbaric fortifications in the distance. Hundreds of leather canoes the size of a palace suspended in the air began to enter Tunin’s sight.

What the hell are those…
No longer continuing his old friend’s words, Krole stared at the dark-skinner leather canoes that were covered with ferocious mouthpieces and muttered with his jaw dropped. The instant his words left his mouth, he saw countless of red and dark green huge ray accompanied by white plasma spurted out of the leather canoes’ mouthpieces, easily turning Yassen’s most elite soldiers into bodies of a bloody remnant.
A few minutes later, under the attack of the Wizard Li’s biochemical warships, the unihorn imperial guards who suffered massive losses as expected began to gradually retreat under the cover of the magical barrier that the sorcerer legions spared no efforts to support. In the end, they were forced to retreat for several kilometers before finally getting rid of the pursuit of the barbarians.
If it was not for the laser, strong acid or thunder that were in the evolution range of the four elements of earth, gas, water, and fire that were being blocked by the spell shield completely, but just the free attack carried out by more than one hundred aviation biological weapons alone would be enough to destroy one of the two Yassen imperial legions.
The might of the barbarian troops made Dubbine not to dare act rashly anymore. After the auxiliary troops arrived at the Gaoden Hill to meet with the ‘unihorns’, all the orders given out by this imperial guard commander were all about guarding the auxiliary troops to build the camps and with no more other unnecessary orders anymore.
The Wizard Li army also did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, they watched the mainlanders’ army camp that gradually covered the entire hill to be built in front of their eyes.
On the fourth day after the war, the main body of the mainland coalition finally arrived. In the next few days, about 50% of the Green Leaf Mainland’s civilized world and 65% of professional soldiers began to successively fill the new military camp of the Gaoden Hill. A huge war that was destined to carve its name forever in the history was around the corner…


The assembly of tens of millions of soldiers had a consumption so heavy, it was simply unimaginable.
On Wizard Li’s side, 99% of the warriors guarding underground and on the ground were the Hellfire barbarians who were used to living in the harsh environment of precariousness since young who now had the support of devout faith. Just the fatty protein meat, plus the sea salt rapidly produced by the thousands of low-level high priests day and night using their divine power was enough for them to survive and maintain their full-fledged combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, the mainland coalition forces were gathered by the nobles. There were hundreds of thousands of spellcasters, more than 10 million reserve soldiers and millions of professional soldiers in total. Even though the mainland countries jointly undertook to provide the supplies, the burden was still very heavy, to the point that where their citizens were struck in poverty and their national power weakened.
Therefore, the instant the army had just arrived at the front line, the Dignity King who was also the commander of the coalition immediately summoned Dubbine, the commander of the unihorn imperial guard and Kuchila, the advisor. It was apparent that he wanted to fight a quick battle.
Like the sunset, in the last afterglow of the golden sun, the young commander who could not hide his tired look any longer had a calm expression that he used to have just a few days ago. Riding his unihorn, he followed behind two servants dressed in silk luxurious uniform with a ridiculous palace cap and passed through the camp as huge as the mainland city to gallop towards the huge octagonal tent with a towering golden-crowned eagle flag.
Galloping on the spacious and flat rammed dirt road in the military camp, there would be neatly dressed dispatch cavalries holding different patterns of swallowtail flags galloping everywhere passing him from time to time.
It was already evening, in the camp that was slightly more bustling on both sides, the soldiers wearing worn linen shirts had been sitting in groups on the ground buried their heads together as they talked while waiting for the mess cook to deliver their dinner of steaming soup and dry food.
In the distance, the military craftsmen were repairing the ordnances that were damaged by their long-distance marching. By right, in a camp of more than 1 million people that were united by the armed forces of different countries, even the most demanding commander would be satisfied over such disciplines and preparations. One must marvel at the prestige of the Dignity King.
However, Dubbine who had been using his own monocular to observe the movement of the Hellfire garrison troops were feeling restless and anxious. Unable to help himself, he tried to ask the advisor following tightly beside him,
Sir Kuchila, what result do you think will we have by sending such a troop to go to war with the Hellfire people?


Scattered army tactic. We’d only die if we go one-on-one. One to five would result in a tie and one to seven would result in a sure win. As for the going into battle with a battle array, even though I’ve not seen the battle attainments of the Hellfire barbarian troops before, I guess it wouldn’t be so bad judging from their discipline, so it would only make the situation worse.
Kuchila had a heavy tone on as he replied blatantly. This answer that was so true that it was almost biting, made Dubbine choked on his own reply and was unable to speak for a long time.


After a long moment of silence, the ‘unihorn’ commander finally asked dryly,
I have almost the same thoughts as you. Then, how do you think we shall win this?
