Chapter 557
A few hours quickly passed. The army inside Sunset City hardened their will. A lot of them wrote their wills already in case of the worse. Most of them could tell that this would be their last.
As for the two Earth Mages, they were relatively calmer. There was still a defense formation in the city. With the two of them, it shouldn’t be hard to delay the attack.
After their short break, the mage army formed a formation in front of Lawrend.
“This siege will start a new era for the Undrasil Kingdom. We had been accumulating power for ten thousand years. Our greatest advantage was the training the Undrasil Monster Forest provided us. It was now time to put that training to good use. We! Will return as an Empire!” Lawrend shouted.
“Long live Your Imperial Majesty! Long live Undrasil Empire!” the mages shouted to the top of their lungs.
The sound even reached Sunset City, which was quite far from them. The army in there felt a shudder.
An army of ten thousand High Mages was no joke. They could take down any kingdom they wanted.
“Attack! Siege the city! Capture the Earth Mages in the city!” Lawrend swung his arm and pointed it to the city.
“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
The mage army felt their blood boil from excitement. They rushed out and flew to the city while keeping a formation.
“Form the Starry Sky Assault!” Julianne ordered.
The army changed shape to a wavey formation. It resembled the milky way galaxy in the sky. The power of the different elements combined together to form this attack.
While they were flying earlier, the three envoys didn’t forget to teach the army the whole formation. The mage army learned a lot of foundational knowledge from them, allowing them to understand a great part of this formation.
Lawrend also wanted to teach them his formation, but it was still not ready. He decided to put it aside and use it later when they attacked the next city.
A bright earthen glow immediately covered the whole of Sunset City. It stopped anyone from leaving or entering. It was none other than the city’s defensive formation.
Two people rose up and hovered under the dome.
One of them was an old man, and he exerted a powerful Earth-element Earth Mage aura. The other was an old lady, and she exerted a bright Light-element Earth Mage aura.
The old man was the one initially assigned to this city. The old lady was a healer that was supposed to go to the front lines, but she stopped here because of the urgency.
“Stop! This is the territory of the Blumin Empire!” the old man shouted.
“Attack! Don’t let them slow us down!” Julianne ordered.
She ignored the obvious attempt of the old man to slow them down. Obviously, they were here to siege them, but the old man still decided to talk. She lived long enough to understand he was only buying time.
The old man grimaced and crossed his legs. He controlled the whole formation, and it turned to a darker shade of brown.
“Light of Eons!” the old lady raised her staff to the army.
“Nullification!” Julianne instantly cast a darkness spell.
A bright flash of light suddenly appeared out of the staff’s crystal. It seemed like the first light that appeared in the world. It tried to blind the whole army.
Unfortunately for her, Julianne was a dual element Light and Darkness mage. She already sensed what kind of attack she was about to use and countered with the perfect spell.
The darkness spell covered the front and shielded the army from being blinded.
“+Earth’s Stomp+!” Otor chanted.
A huge amount of earth rose from the ground and turned into a giant foot. It looked weird as it was floating sideways. Nevertheless, it still stomped its foot, and the whole defensive formation shook.
The old man floating inside released a brown-colored brilliance. That attack from Otor took a lot of mana from his body.
And then came the mages from the army.
They cast their spells and threw them to the sky. Those spells immediately stopped moving after reaching a certain height. They appeared to be stars floating in the sky.
Those colorful stars gathered and formed a galaxy on top of their heads.
“Descend!” Niko ordered his own battalion.
The one thousand mages under him swung their staffs together.
*Boom!*
The spells hanging in the sky suddenly fell down and were attracted by a powerful force. It seemed like a powerful black hole appeared at the defensive shield from the city, causing these ‘stars’ to fall.
The combined might of the different elements created a powerful elemental storm. The different properties of the different elements mixed together and formed a powerful explosion.
*BOOM!*
The defensive magic formation shook once again. The old man’s face became serious as he suddenly realized this army was powerful.
That attack could barely be considered an attack of the Earth Mage level. The problem was that this army wasn’t composed of Earth Mages.
“That’s the Trunden Empire’s greatest army formation! They actually taught it to the Undrasils!” the old lady screamed in fear.
She knew the horror of this formation first hand. At their peak, they could contend with Earth Mages. They needed a lot of mages, but that was still very impressive.
In a high-level battle, lower-level mages were usually considered cannon fodders. It was different for the Trunden Empire.
They had been known as ambitious people. They had embarked on many wars in the past. It usually resulted in their enemies compromising and giving up land.
That wasn’t the end of the attack. Gregory very slowly swung his staff.
“+The Storm’s Gale+!”
It was another Earth Mage spell.
The two spells he and Otor used were spells they couldn’t use on Lawrend before because of the quick pace of their battle. They could only use them at this moment to destroy the magical defensive formation.
