Chapter 24: Siege

Translator: editor3 

There was a huge difference between King Faroe’s death and his survival.

Now that the King had completely washed away the unstable factors within the city, he had raised the morale once again.

With the defense of the capital, it would be more than a hundred times more difficult for the alliance army to break through to the palace.

Furthermore, the city did not just  have a tall city wall. It was said that after the Kingdom of Faroe was founded three thousand years ago, they spent a huge amount of money to build it with many magic arrays.

This led to a strange effect. In the case of a war, as long as the morale of the defending troops remained high, their combat strength and physical strength would be restored. Their willpower, resilience, and even their combat strength would also be enhanced.

It was said that the more intense the battle, the higher the morale, and the more obvious the effects would be.

It was precisely because of this that the fog temple had wanted to poison the king in advance. Even when the alliance army surrounded the king’s city, they still had to engage in psychological warfare. They had wanted to suppress the morale of the defending army, thus eliminating the effect on them.

Unfortunately, things always seemed to go against their wishes.

Not only had the plan failed, but it had also caused the morale of the defending army to soar to extreme heights.

Suddenly, a man in white with an indifferent expression said indifferently, “Looks like we will have to use the second plan.”

Once this person had spoken, even the five great lords did not dare to underestimate him.

This was because this person was the holy son of the sun god sect, a top-notch ninth-level elemental mage. It was rumored that he had the aptitude of a saint.

The representatives of the other four transcending powers nodded in agreement when they saw the sun holy son speak.

“Everyone, gather the mage army and prepare to attack the city.”

The sun holy son seemed to have become the leader of the five transcending powers.

The other four representatives and the five lords didn’t have any objections either.

For the five lords, it was best for the mage army formed by the five transcending powers to be the vanguard.

…

Lei Luo was standing at the top of a tall building in the palace. He could see the situation outside the city from afar.

It was so far away that ordinary people could not see it. Even high-ranked great grandmasters could not see it clearly.

However, Lei Luo could see it clearly.

This imperial city is indeed extraordinary.

Lei Luo’s elemental eye could see the faint and strange fluctuations in the air.

These were the undulations of a spell formation.

Although it was very weak, even a high-level elemental mage would not be able to sense it.

But it could not hide from Lei Luo’s elemental eye.

Before this, he had never noticed that there was such a huge magic array hidden under the imperial city.

As the war was about to begin, with the morale of millions of residents and the defending soldiers high, the spell formation of the Imperial City was activated.

To build an array formation of such a size, one must be extremely proficient in array formations. Even in terms of magic power, they can’t be too bad. An ultimate mage can barely do it.

Lei Luo sighed in his heart.

Without an ultimate mage, even the elemental fluctuations of the array formation could not be sensed.

If it’s as the king has guessed, how can an ultimate mage not exist? It’s just that they’re hidden too deeply, so I still have to keep a low profile.

Suddenly, a light flashed through Lei Luo’s eyes. He looked towards a direction in the city. A large amount of magic aura had gathered together.

A mage army?

Lei Luo nodded.

In this war, because of the existence of mages, of course the mage army would exist.

Whether it was the Faroe Kingdom, the various lords, or even the five transcending powers, they all needed a mage army.

However, there were strong and weak mage armies.

Those that could be called a mage army should have some high-level mages. Together with some elemental mages, once they were formed, they would definitely be a nightmare for an ordinary combat aura army.

If it was an extremely powerful mage army, then the elemental mages would be the main force. They would even be equipped with many high-level elemental mages. That kind of mage army would be the true killing machine, crushing everything in the way.

In the whole of middle-earth, only the Faroe Kingdom had the ability to build such a super elemental mage army.

However, in recent years, due to the great wizard Snake God, the five transcending powers had regained their strength. In addition to their terrifying foundation, they had also built an even more powerful elemental mage army. One of them would not be able to contend with the Faroe Kingdom, however, when the five transcending powers joined forces, they would definitely surpass the elemental mage army of the Faroe Kingdom.

As expected of the Faroe Kingdom. Although it has declined, its influence can not be underestimated.

Lei Luo revealed a smile.

From what he could sense, this elemental mage army had more than a thousand people. It was made up of elemental mages, and there was a very high proportion of high-level elemental mages among them.

Lei Luo discovered an interesting phenomenon. There were many people from the Hiro Magic Academy in this army of elemental mages.

As expected of the great wizard Snake God. Even though he has died, he has still left behind a powerful force of mages for the Faroe Kingdom.

Over the past few decades, Lei Luo’s understanding of the great wizard Snake God had also increased.

Moseley had shaken the world and suppressed many forces in the middle-earth. Not only had he relied on the powerful forces in the middle-earth, but he also had a terrifying army of mages under his command.

This army of mages was almost entirely made up of people from the major magic academies in the imperial city. Of course, the Hiro Magic Academy had the most people.

Even now in the imperial palace, there were many great mages who had been trained by the great wizard Snake God.

“The great wizard Snake God is indeed a legendary figure. He went from a small battle-qi warrior to an existence that can control the overall situation of the world.”

Lei Luo sighed in his heart again.

Although he could do it, he relied on the signing-in system.

Although the mage army of the Faroe Kingdom is strong, the mage army of the five rebel armies is even stronger.

Lei Luo looked outside the city and vaguely sensed that more powerful elemental mages were gathering.

Needless to say, that was the mage army of the rebels.

Or rather, it was the mage army of the five transcending powers gathered together.
