Mage? Spell Engineer!

Richard experienced the uncomfortable feeling brought by the forbidden magic tsunami for the second time. Not only was the roaring turbulence disrupting the magic power in the body, but also the environmental magic power was pushed away immediately, and the caster was thrown into the desert like a fish. ,pain.

The colleagues around him also looked dizzy and cursed at the airship in the sky.

At this time, the empire actually fell into a passive position. The enemy only knew how to charge like crazy, and had already disrupted the two infantry lines. Richard wanted to join the battlefield at this time. The strict training he received ensured that even if he did not have the ability to cast spells, he would still have sufficient martial virtue.

But the entire mage group is on standby, and the other mage accompanying the army may not be as skilled in both magic and physical skills as he is.

Fortunately, the enemy has not yet reached this point. The hastily formed National Guard does not have enough cavalry to penetrate the enemy's battle formation.

However, Richard's luck did not last long. A cannonball fell into the mage group, knocking everyone off their feet. Then a few more bombs fell, and Richard realized that this was no accident. He immediately took off the imperial army's standard mage robe and shouted: "We are locked, disperse! Concealed!"

He tightened his reins and dispersed to a place beyond the coverage of the artillery fire. Fortunately, the power of the artillery shells was limited, and his clothes and the right side of his face were only scratched by the flying lead.

"People who can't cast spells are really weak." He wiped away the blood and observed where the artillery fire was coming from. After seeing clearly the positions of Paul and Pascal, he quickly planned the route and estimated the time.

When I arrived, I was just in time to regain my ability to cast spells.

"Those who are still capable of fighting, come with me!" he greeted, and two spellcasters joined his team, nimbly avoiding the frontal battlefield and starting to sprint towards the artillery position.

At the same time, the Second Artillery Battalion, which had not yet realized the approaching danger, was too excited to control itself. Colonel Drouot, who noticed the artillery battalion's concentrated fire, came to the position: "Hey! Who told you to change the target!"

"Sir, look, we've defeated an elite cavalry!" An observation finger was shown to Drouot.

The colonel was also very satisfied after seeing it: "You did a good job! Who? Who discovered it?"

So Paul was praised on the spot. But Pascal remained calm: "If we focus the fire like this, our position may be exposed, so..."

Before he finished speaking, a large dark green mist suddenly rose up from the front line, and Valois soldiers could be seen falling at the edge of the mist.

After the charge, Richard led his team to easily pass through the already weak front line and penetrate the high ground. After coming out of the mist, the mage behind him began to use illusions to hide his figure. Pascal stared at the thick fog, and then found that his spellcasting ability had recovered. He immediately turned on [Arcane Vision] and witnessed three groups of spiritual lights rushing out of the thick fog.

"Enemy attack! It's three enemy mages!" Pascal's roar interrupted the cheerful atmosphere of the artillery position, and Paul also became nervous. Drouot immediately made a decision: "The men of the single-numbered gun crew loaded their rifles and prepared to fire, and the men of the even-numbered gun crew moved the artillery!"

However, in Pascal's vision, the figure of the visitor gradually became clearer, and the magical inspiration outlined the hooves. Coupled with the speed of the attack, it was certain that the opponent was coming on horseback, and the horse showed extraordinary jumping ability, climbing as fast as a blue sheep. approaching.

The leader who released the poisonous fog broke through the infantry line. One person was responsible for the illusion of invisibility, and the other provided movement enhancement. The combat prowess displayed by the imperial army's military mage made Pascal's scalp tighten.

"They are coming." Pascal gave the final warning as he prepared to cast a spell. As soon as the words fell, three people and three horses appeared, and they descended from the air. The leader, Richard, gave Pascal a heavy stamp on Pascal who was observing at the edge of the highland.

Unfortunately, Pascal had already propped up the barrier, and the horse's hoofs were as if they had trampled on metal, causing a neighing sound. Richard had already turned over, and after judging that the opponent was using a [Force Field Wall], he applied a secondary [Corrosion Claw] to the barrier. He punched, and the magic fist wave disrupted the force field.

But Pascal's defense was not completely broken. Under the dissipated force field was a second [blue light barrier].

The current situation is beyond Richard's expectations. Firstly, he did not expect that there were mages in the artillery position. Secondly, he did not expect that Valois's mages were not low in combat literacy and could actually hold up two different defenses in a short period of time. barrier.

Pascal's thought here was: Fortunately, it's not Rorschach!

He started preparing his next spell, shouting, "Paul!"

Without Pascal's command, Paul was ready to attack. The enemy came from below and it took time to gain a foothold. Paul immediately used the move he had used to deal with Rorschach: [Acid Splash]!

The horse beside Richard was hit by the splashed acid before he could dodge, and a miserable cry rang out. The mage on horseback was forced to abandon his mount, letting it roll down to the high ground, and climbed up on his own. It was obvious that not only Richard, but also the accompanying mage was not prepared for the presence of a spellcaster among the enemies.

Pascal's spellcasting was completed. Not only him, but Paul and other comrades around him also received [Combat Inspiration]. This was the result of his practice. In the past, he could only apply it to himself, but now all five of them have received the buff.

Paul regained his energy, threw out the dagger he carried and stabbed the dismounted mage, then rolled and pushed Pascal away from Richard. Once there was an opening, the artillerymen who had loaded their muskets immediately found the right opportunity to fire.

Although not surprisingly, the Empire's mages used shields to block this salvo, but for Pascal and Paul, they were able to take advantage. Pascal created a fireball. Since he did not have enough energy, the fireball was only It was bigger than his head, but Paul cooperated and threw out a bottle of unknown alchemical potion. After being immersed in the fireball, it suddenly expanded and turned into a more dangerous blue fire.

Richard dodged, but his companion did not. A man with blue flames attached to his body screamed and rolled down.

Richard found that the situation was not good, and the original raid had lost the initiative. He was still on the horse, staring down at the two enemy mages, and nodded: "Richard."

"Hopaska."

"Paul, are you a noble? Then tell me your surname. I am from Calsicconne."

Before Paul could finish his words, Richard suddenly opened his mouth, and a hot and rapid stream of flames spurted out, sweeping across the artillery position like a dragon's breath.

"You're playing dirty tricks! Your behavior is not honorable to the nobles!" Paul was still cursing, and Pascal was already doing his best to hold up the barrier. Soon Paul's blue light barrier was also activated, but even with combined efforts, there was still dragon breath. It sprayed comrades and destroyed an artillery piece.

Fortunately, the general artillery had already transferred the gunpowder first, so no explosion occurred. It was a pity for Richard. He retreated on horseback in the flames and picked up his burned comrades at the foot of the mountain.

Not only Richard, but the entire Imperial Army retreated. The airship that penetrated the Valois army was also intercepted by the mages who restored their spellcasting ability, and did not have the effect expected by the imperial army.

After the smoke cleared and the flowing blood stained the fields, Valois' soldiers stood still with difficulty, watching the enemy move in the opposite direction of the royal capital.

"We have won! Valuauna is safe! The motherland is saved!"

Although the National Guard suffered heavy casualties and achieved victory, it could be seen from the few people standing on the front line that they were unable to pursue and could only witness the orderly retreat of the Imperial Army.

But no matter what, the soldiers from the empire hit the first iron wall, their invincible golden body was broken, and the lightning operation planned by the headquarters was on the verge of bankruptcy.

As winter passes and spring arrives, the war on the mainland reaches a turning point.
