Elena pursed her bright red lips tightly, glanced coldly at the dark clouds composed of dark mages rushing towards her from a distance, and then strode up to the flight control console with strong and graceful steps.

Following an order, the twelve battlefield fortresses suddenly separated in the air like blooming petals.

One team became two teams, and the two teams were divided into four groups. Each three formed a triangular team, separated by about 300 meters from each other, and flew forward at maximum acceleration.

The four groups of war fortresses were divided into four different directions, leaving behind the dark mages who were as dense as a swarm.

Their cooperation is so skillful, every step is unhurried, calm and precise. Looking up from the ground, it is very pleasing to the eye, as if watching an aerial dance.

The group of dark mages soaring into the sky were startled when they discovered that the target in front of them had suddenly changed. Looking at the divided war fortresses, they didn't know which one they should pursue.

This is also one of the weaknesses of these dark mages.

They all rank according to their magical strength, and whoever has more magic power will be the boss. There is a lack... to be precise, there is an extremely lack of commanding and strategic talents, especially a large number of excellent middle and lower-level commanding talents.

If this situation is a solo fight or a small-scale conflict, they can still handle it.

But once they go to the battlefield and engage in large-scale battles, they will suffer a huge defeat due to the lack of contact and poor communication between the senior command and the lowest levels.

The dark mages hesitated in the air for a long time, and then gathered together again under the sharp and urgent orders of the Lich.

They divided into four teams according to regulations, and then rushed towards the war fortress as quickly as possible.

Viewed from the ground, they were like four thick plumes of black smoke, swirling and twisting closely behind the four groups of war fortresses.

The ascetic monks couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts.

Although the dark mages have divided their forces, there are still more than 300 people in each group, and the momentum is extremely strong.

Even though they have high holy power and specialize in restraining dark mages, they still feel a tingling sensation when they see the dark mages chasing behind them in such a dense crowd that they cover the sky.

These are not just a few, but a dozen dark spell casters who sneaked into the human race, these are hundreds of mages who are proficient in dark spells.

The spells they use are known for their cruelty and insidiousness, which are not only difficult to guard against but also extremely lethal.

Once they are rushed into the war fortress, it will be a disaster.

The ascetic monks all have practical experience in dealing with dark mages. Every year, there are always some dark spellcasters, necromancers, vampires, horror knights, etc. who cross the Iron Curtain and come to peek from the demon side.

Some are to spy on information, some are unable to resist hunger and thirst. Some are just out of pure curiosity. Most of them are to complete the undead trial mission.

Although the level of difficulty is different, basically every high-level undead will have an epic mission that must be done - to visit the human race. This has become a sacred and inviolable tradition for them.

In the human continent, this is the home ground of the Holy See of Light. Once they are discovered, the priests will not hesitate to use their numerical superiority to drown the unlucky stowaways.

This is why as soon as the Lorraine Castle incident occurred, it immediately attracted the attention of the Holy See and the Magic Association, and sent people to investigate.

But...even the ascetic monks who have hunted down high-level undead have never fought against such a huge number of dark mages like now.

This gave the ascetic monks the illusion that they were on the home court of the demons, and after their identity was exposed, they formed a group to hunt down them.

Dark mages are different from undead creatures. The priest's powerful magic can directly purify undead creatures.

But although dark mages practice evil magic, they are still living people, just like human magicians.

For them, the great, holy, and benevolent God of Light still has a glimmer of hope. In other words, although the holy magic can weaken the spells that restrain them, it will take a lot of effort to kill them directly.

With such a large number of dark mages, even if they stand still and let them kill them, it will be difficult to kill half of them even if they exhaust their holy power.

The ascetics are not afraid of death, on the contrary, they regard it as an honor to die in battle with dark creatures.

What they were worried about was their mission. If they couldn't kill all the enemies, they would leave lichs and dark mages on the mainland, enough to cause a bloody storm.

The leader of the ascetic monks turned to look at the commander of the operation and found that Lord Lorraine, who had a high reputation in the Holy See, did not seem worried at all.

He was holding a small nail clipper, lowering his head and trimming his nails leisurely.

From time to time, he would open his hand and compare it carefully, and then continue to use a small file to file the edges and corners of his nails.

The ascetic monk couldn't help but feel a little salty in his throat, and almost spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm in the Lord's face.

The situation outside is already extremely critical. Does this guy still have the heart to get his nails done here?

If it weren't for everyone's rumor that this lordship was the biological father of His Majesty the Pope's son, and he had seen it with his own eyes, that little chubby kid would smile brightly when he saw the lordship, open his little hands, 'ta da da da'

He screamed, and he was about to swing the stick at him.

In line with the principle of being responsible, the ascetic monk took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then reminded him kindly: "Count, the number of enemies exceeds estimate, we...should we go back to find some reinforcements before coming back?

"

"Is it a lot?" Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the puffs of black smoke outside the window, and then said, "Not much."

"you……"

"Don't worry, Lord St. Bolian." Lorraine smiled, then put down his nail clippers, looked around at the tensely alert flight crew members in the war fortress, and then said firmly: "Please trust our pilots."

The mages who controlled the war fortress heard this and looked up at their boss. They couldn't help but be moved and proud to be trusted by the big boss without reservation.

At this time, the dark mage was still biting the tail of the war fortress, and anxiously began to fire various spells at the war fortress.

However, due to the high speed of the War Fortress, those spells dissipated in the air without even touching the tail of the War Fortress.

Seeing that they were about to leave the battlefield airspace, the dark mages couldn't help but lack enthusiasm. The enemy just kept running away, not even having the courage to fight back. It seemed that this pursuit would have no results.

At this moment, the war fortress suddenly began to turn at a large angle without warning.

Due to the rapid turn, the posture of the war fortress also changed.

Under the influence of the huge centrifugal force, everyone in the war fortress had to hold on to nearby walls and tabletops to stabilize their bodies to prevent falling.

After a second, the centrifugal force suddenly disappears.

Before everyone could recover, Elena's clear and bright voice had already sounded in the war fortress: "Get ready to engage the enemy, three o'clock direction."

The mages who had been on guard for a long time did not care about many, and they all shouted. They rushed towards the window on the right and began to accumulate mana and prepare spells.

The gunners in the weapons room quickly loaded the cannon with shotgun shells, then squatted on the cannon to observe the airspace in front of them, calmly waiting for orders.

Seeing the sudden turn of the war fortress, the dark mages who were following behind were greatly surprised. They originally thought that the enemy was scared out of their wits when they saw the large number of people on their side. Guang knew he was running away with his tail between his legs.

If that's really the case, everyone has no choice but to take action against them.

Who knew they would suddenly make a mistake. At this moment, they suddenly turned around.

Moreover, due to the sudden change in flight direction, the speed of the War Fortress was directly reduced, and the distance between it and the dark mage who was pursuing it was also much closer.

Now, the tracking dark mages only need to turn their heads slightly to quickly catch up with the War Fortress along the arc diameter.

At this moment, the right side of the war fortress, which turned ninety degrees, was facing the dark mage, flying in a direction perpendicular to the dark mage's movement trajectory.

In less than three seconds, the dark mages approached within shooting range. They began to condense their spells, preparing to throw them viciously at the war fortress opposite, letting out a heavy breath as if they had been bombed.

In their eagerness, they did not seem to realize the fairest point on the battlefield: when the enemy is within their range, they are also within the enemy's range.

"Concentrated fire attack~!" Elena's magnetic voice shouted decisively.

Just when the spells of the dark mages were about to take shape, a group of mages suddenly appeared in front of the window of the war fortress. They quickly threw various spells that they had prepared in their hands at the dark mages in the air.

The intensive spells were all directed at the few dark mages flying at the front.

Those who rushed the fastest had no time to react and were immediately overwhelmed by the gorgeous ice, fire and other spells.

One of them turned into a burning human-shaped torch, burning and falling from the air while screaming at the top of his lungs.

The other dark mage whose body was covered with ice crystals made no sound at all and fell straight down like a stone.

The dark mages hurriedly evaded in shock, flying to the left to distance themselves from the war fortress.

At this time, a red light suddenly flashed on the war fortress, and hundreds of finger-sized lead bullets were wrapped in a stream of heat and shot out from the muzzle. Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion was heard.

The lead pellets flying at super high speed rushed out of the muzzle and quickly spread out, forming a bullet net with a radius of several meters.

A dark mage was unable to dodge and was enveloped in a large net of deadly projectiles. When he saw countless black dots flying towards him, he immediately screamed and crushed a ring on his hand.

Suddenly, a pale white light shield enveloped his body. This was a top-secret method he relied on to save his life, but he didn't expect that he would have to use it just after he entered the battlefield.

But before any new thoughts came into his mind, those hot lead balls had already hit the mana shield.

It shattered into hundreds of pieces in one hundredth of a second, then broke through the mana shield and shot into the dark mage's body.

The high-speed shrapnel shot through the dark mage's body effortlessly, tearing his head and body apart piece by piece.

The people in the war fortress only saw the sound of a cannon, and then the dark mage turned into a ball of blood mist in the air, falling to the ground like rain.

"Beautiful~!" The ascetic monk couldn't help stroking his hands and exclaiming.

In his eyes, War Fortress made a cool maneuver, and the dark mage who was chasing them happened to hit the head of the knife.

Waiting for the rabbit is nothing more than that.

Mages don't have to search for enemies at all, the enemies will be automatically sent to their staffs.

Lorraine first gave Elena a thumbs up, praising her exquisite control, and then said to the ascetic: "The more beautiful ones are yet to come."

Lorraine raised his arm and pointed forward. A group of dark mages were flying towards them in a panic.

The triangular flight formation turned right as a whole, and the wingman who was originally on the right wing was now at the front. Therefore, the several dark mages who were pursuing the right wingman happened to be surrounded by three war fortresses.

"Two o'clock direction, concentrated fire attack~!"

Suddenly, he realized that he didn't know why the dark mage who had hit the war fortress head-on had no time to slow down and was hit on the head by the mages in the war fortress.

The artillery of the three war fortresses fired at the dark mage in the middle at the same time. The lead pellets fired by the six artillery were so dense that they even collided in the air.
