Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1934: 1090: A Disgraceful Retreat_2Chapter 1934: Chapter 1090: A Disgraceful Retreat_2
Seeing the situation rapidly deteriorate in the blink of an eye, Saint King William nearly stood on the golden throne, his face filled with rage, shouting: “Launch a full-scale dense barrage, shoot down the ‘Fortress’!”
“My King, there are still many of our combat airships fighting bravely around the ‘Fortress’.”
Upon hearing this, Jered hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully explaining: “If we fire now, I’m afraid it will harm our own people…”
Before Jered could finish speaking, William furiously interrupted him: “What use is that group of worthless fools? Do you dare to disobey my supreme order?”
Staring at the indignant old face of the Saint King, Jered had no choice but to place his hand on his chest in salute, gritting his teeth as he went to carry out the command.
Soon after, dense anti-air magic began flickering continuously from the camp of the Grimm Kingdom, shooting straight towards the ‘Fortress’.
However, although most of them successfully hit the ‘Fortress’, causing wave after wave of violent ripples on its defensive barrier, they didn’t shatter it. On the contrary, the surrounding unprepared other combat airships were shot down one after another, billowing thick smoke into the air.
“How is this possible? Such a dense concentration of anti-air magic would even cause a giant dragon to avoid its edge, yet it still cannot shake the ‘Fortress’ a tiny bit?”
The Saint King looked up at the gigantic airship in the sky with its unstoppable momentum, almost unable to believe his eyes.
Fully understanding the ‘Fortress’, he naturally knew the capabilities of this giant combat airship best.
After the frenzied assault by other ordinary combat airships and the dense anti-air magic attacks, even the top-level absolute defense barrier carried by the ‘Fortress’ couldn’t hold out for so long!
“Unless… unless besides the two knight commanders and 300 Tier 2 court magicians, other top-tier experts have infiltrated the ‘Fortress’ and are continuously supplying energy to the absolute defense barrier!”
Upon thinking of this, Saint King William’s face suddenly showed a look of realization, which quickly turned into uncontrollable anger.
To this day, he still doesn’t understand why the ‘Fortress’, which was supposed to completely destroy Sunset Fortress, turned to attack his own camp!
“My King, the ‘Fortress’ is about to reach the skies above our vanguard. What should we do now?”
As the unstoppable gigantic combat airship came covering the sky, a hint of nervousness appeared on Jered’s resolute face as he respectfully asked: “Our absolute defense barrier’s capacity is limited, and the magicians’ mana is dangerously depleted. I fear we cannot withstand the bombardment of such a colossal object. Please make preparations, Your Majesty!”
“I am aware of this.”
William understood the implication behind Jered’s words very well.
At present, the counterattack firepower of Sunset Fortress is not weakening but increasing, coupled with the ‘Fortress’ about to fly over the vanguard, which means that retreating becomes the only option.
Otherwise, once the absolute defense barrier over the formation shatters, the consequences would be evident.
Yet the morale of the army is already extremely low, and if they retreat now, withdrawal becomes the only choice.
“Our Grimm Kingdom has exerted the full power of the nation yet cannot capture the small Sunset Fortress, ultimately fleeing in disgrace. If word gets out, won’t we become the laughing stock of the human various countries?”
Veins popped on William’s old face, but he still didn’t relent, stubbornly declaring: “I don’t believe we can’t shoot down that thing. The enemy’s fortress is also at its wits’ end. As long as we destroy the ‘Fortress’, victory will still belong to our Grimm Kingdom!”
Finishing his words, William wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hand decisively: “No one is to take a step back, continue attacking the ‘Fortress’ with full force, or be executed without mercy!”
With the Saint King’s order delivered, the already panicked soldiers of the Grimm Kingdom could only grit their teeth and persist, continuing to resist the high-altitude ‘Fortress’ and Sunset Fortress.
“It seems the old Saint King is going all in.”
Amidst the smoky sky, Leo Ray, circling outside the range of the enemy’s anti-air firepower, cleaned up isolated enemy airships while raising an eyebrow slightly, then issued the order for full-scale attack to our commanders on the fortress wall.
Since the enemy intends to fight to the end, there’s no harm in fulfilling their wish, allowing them to thoroughly experience the fear dominated by magic cannon fire and alchemy bombs.
As soon as Leo Ray’s order was given, our side’s morale was invigorated, and firepower opened up completely. At least a thousand magic cannons fired in unison each time, sweeping directly towards the enemy’s vanguard line.
In an instant, our side’s momentum surged like a rainbow, forming a stark contrast with the enemy’s listless formation.
Faced with our increasingly fierce magic cannon strike, the enemy’s absolute defense barrier trembled like in a storm, seemingly ready to shatter at any moment.
Simultaneously, like a behemoth in the air, the ‘Fortress’, braving countless anti-air magic, had triumphantly reached above the enemy’s formation.
The ‘Fortress’, with its bomb bay long opened, showed no hesitation, as alchemy bombs larger than ordinary wine barrels howled downwards, from the sky, directly towards the enemy’s camp.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions soon sounded, with balls of scorching flame bursting on the enemy’s defense barrier, instantly causing wind and clouds to change color, the earth to tremble, an undeniably astounding display.
This spectacle, matched with our continuing barrage of magic cannon fire and arrows, immediately engulfed the enemy camp with flames and thick smoke, making it impossible to see the scene within.
Incessant smoke and fire surged into the sky, reflecting the frightened eyes of the soldiers of the Grimm Kingdom, who alone could clearly see the dimmed light of the absolute defense barrier covering their heads, swaying and on the verge of collapse.
“My King, the soldiers can no longer hold out.”
Jered watched as many court magicians, desperately maintaining the absolute defense barrier, turned pale, some even fainting, and his unease grew more obvious.
If the elite guarding the Saint King’s side were like this, it was needless to say for the ordinary magicians in the mobile magic tower.
Across the continually connected Grimm Kingdom formations, only increasingly weak anti-air magic continued to fruitlessly attack the impregnable ‘Fortress’.
“My King, if we don’t retreat now, it will be too late.”
Seeing William’s old face full of reluctance, still trying to shoot down the ‘Fortress’, Jered had no choice but to counsel him again.
As for the surrounding commanders of the Grimm Kingdom, their faces were already full of fear and anxiety.
Just as Jered finished speaking, without waiting for William to respond, the inevitable mutation occurred.
The sound of “crash” glass breaking began to ring out within the Grimm Kingdom’s formations.
As the sound resonated, large cracks, visible to the naked eye, appeared on the surface of the dimmed absolute defense barrier, rapidly spreading around.
The cracks lasted less than a second before the clear sound of glass shattering was heard again.
This time, the Grimm Kingdom’s absolute defense barrier finally could not hold on, collapsing directly into pieces.
What followed was the continuous screams and hysteria of the forward soldiers.
Without the barrier of the absolute defense, massive scorching flames immediately erupted among the Grimm Kingdom’s forward soldiers.
Panic-stricken soldiers plunged into flames, witnessing firsthand their comrades disintegrating in the firelight.
Neither armor nor shields could withstand the continuous explosions; they were as fragile as paper, and the scent of blood and char burned quickly filled the battlefield.
“Retreat! Full retreat!”
Seeing this, even the Saint King, despite his inner reluctance, had to ultimately issue the order to retreat.
In an instant, millions of Grimm Kingdom soldiers, with the rear turning into the vanguard, like the receding tide, began frantically fleeing under our magic cannon fire, appearing extremely beleaguered.
The outcome by this point was self-evident.
