Behind Charles, flashing summoning arrays are emerging one after another, and swimming out of them are those dream-like creatures that should only exist in legends; this is a life composed purely of energy.
It is between entity and non-entity. It exists in the material world but does not exist in the material world. Every moment, every minute and every second, they are always changing their own attributes and forms. Their boundaries
Visitors from outside, this is the Ether Dragon.
They have the shape of a dragon, but also have wings like a manta ray. They are completely transparent, like soft glass, jellyfish suspended in the air. However, this form is not stable and is always changing, like a ball of water.
A rainbow with a blue background.
The wizards of the Cruz people stopped their spells one after another because they found that their spells had no effect on these weird creatures. These creatures themselves were part of energy. They seemed not to exist in the world. The sharp laws
Threads, violent elemental magic ripped through these dreamlike creatures, but it was unable to harm them at all, as if what was hit was an illusion, passing through their transparent bodies.
Everyone discovered this fact one by one. Their attacks could not harm these 'dragons' at all. The entire battlefield gradually fell into a strange stagnant state. The wizards and soldiers of the empire stopped at a loss, some quietly.
Look at all this, look at this magnificent scenery.
But finally someone realized what it was.
"these are……"
"Ether dragon..."
"I didn't expect that they actually existed, and the records of the Fanuer people turned out not to be absurd legends."
The wizards were whispering, secretly passing on the secret knowledge that only they knew. But the imperial commander on the Black Sword Barrier was furious. He was not interested in these so-called knowledge and legends at all, but the wizards left without authorization.
His position greatly reduced the firepower density above the battlefield for a while. He finally gained the upper hand, but was moved back a lot by the gargoyles at this moment. He found the leader of the wizards, pointed at the weird creatures and said loudly:
"I don't care what they are, but now your task is to drive them all out. I don't want to see any of these messy things on my city wall!"
He lost his temper, but found that the wizards were looking at him strangely. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"Those are elves from the ether, Your Excellency Commander. They are symbols of pure energy. Our spells cannot harm them at all. Have you ever seen water droplets drowning in the ocean? What's more, for us,
They are the real ocean." The wizard leader replied politely.
The knight commander scratched his head: "I don't care which of you is a drop of water and which is the ocean, but you have to tell me how to deal with these things, right? I don't want my soldiers to die in an unknown way."
"Your Excellency Commander, in fact, you don't have to worry at all. If the Fanur people are not lying, the biggest feature of the ether dragons is that they exist in two worlds at the same time - their constantly changing energy forms maintain the connection between the ether and the material world. If
You can't fight them in two realms at the same time, so your attack will not damage them at all." The wizard leader looked at the beautiful creatures outside the city wall with admiration, but the knight commander was so concerned about him.
His eyes were obviously very dissatisfied, at least he thought it shouldn't be a look at an enemy.
Of course he didn't understand that the ether dragons were a symbol of mana, and their blue color became the color of the Buga people's flag. Although the Buga people were called the silver alliance, their emblem was an eye on the blue ocean.
That symbolizes the two poles of the mage's world - knowledge and magic.
"Doesn't that mean there's nothing I can do against them, so we should just surrender?" the knight commander replied angrily.
"Why do you say that, Your Excellency, Commander?" The wizard leader pretended to look at the knight commander with some surprise, but in his heart he was full of contempt for this poor man who knew nothing about the nature of the world.
"They can attack me, but we can't attack them. Can this battle continue?"
"Your Excellency Commander, I think you don't need to worry about this at all," the wizard leader said with a slight smile: "The ether dragon is a fragile and beautiful creature. It is not as powerful as you think. Although they look huge,
, but that’s just because energy naturally disperses in our world. And the strength of these creatures is actually very weak. Although they represent energy itself, they cannot master the law of the middle. This is like saying that human beings represent a kind of
It's the same law as life, but it can't control life. You and your soldiers can't attack it, because it can't attack you either."
The commander didn't understand it at all, but at least he understood the last sentence. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "You mean these things have no attack ability at all, so why do our opponents summon them to act like gods?
?”
"I'm afraid that's not the case. What I mean is that it's not that they can't attack you, but that the etheric realm and the material world are parallel worlds. The two worlds do not affect each other. If they want to affect our world, they must
To switch to our world——"
"Wait, I understand." The commander interrupted the self-righteous guy and said loudly: "You mean I can attack them when they transition to our world, right?"
The leader of the wizard group looked at this guy in surprise.
The knight commander couldn't help but snorted in his heart, thinking that if he could help these self-righteous guys, he would be too lazy to deal with these nagging guys. But he had one last question, which he asked before leaving.
: "Mr. Wizard, since these things are so fragile, the person who summoned them must not be that powerful. I think you should be able to deal with him and don't let him do anything else."
But this time, he didn't get the answer he wanted.
The wizards present all looked at Ciel in the sky with lingering fear.
"Mr. Commander, you are wrong. The meaning of the Ether Dragon itself is beyond your imagination. The Ether Dragon cannot master the laws, but he can. We don't know who this master is yet, but we can be sure that he can master the laws."
There is a deeper law, and all of us here can testify to this. Just a moment ago, we all felt the vibration from the sea of magic."
The wizard leader shook his head solemnly: "Maybe you don't quite understand what I'm telling you, Commander, but I have some advice for you. You'd better use your soldiers to create some trouble for him, otherwise
We may not be his match."
"What," the commander was startled: "But he looks much younger than you."
"The wizarding world is dominated by the power of knowledge, not age." The wizard leader replied.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure," the wizard leader shook his head: "This is just a guess, but you can bet that I guessed wrong, Commander."
The commander glanced at these robed wizards and thought to himself that he had guessed wrong.
But he didn't know that everyone present had the same idea.
…
Fanna raised her head and saw exactly this scene.
She saw the soldiers of the empire launching a desperate counterattack. The blue ocean looked so dazzling, but it was also incredibly vulnerable. The ether dragon's offensive was far less dazzling than their appearance. She
It can be clearly analyzed that the strength of these weird creatures does not exceed the peak of Silver, and is only on par with most of the imperial knights on the city wall. And what is gratifying is that when the ether dragon launched its attack, they also appeared quickly.
Incurring casualties, attacks that were previously unable to cause damage to them knocked them out of the air for the first time when they switched to the material world. However, etheric creatures falling from mid-air often ended their lives in a strange way.
It seemed to be a dazzling self-destruction. Their transparent forms hit the city wall directly, and then exploded into a light blue ripple. Under the shock of the ripples, the imperial soldiers were unscathed, and the city wall was not damaged at all.
The only change was that the spells of the imperial wizards began to become sparse. The lady vaguely understood what was happening, but what surprised her was that the number of ether dragons was decreasing very fast, far exceeding the number of their deaths.
Speed, they seemed to have occupied the entire sky before, but in an instant there were only a few left.
Where did those ether dragons go?
She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't quite understand what the problem was. But what really made Ms. Vana confused was that this was what Brando wanted her to see? So that she could appreciate him.
How could it fail? But she obviously did not see this frustration on the face of this descendant of Darus. Brando always looked at the sky with a smile, and that confident look never faded.
The ether dragons in the sky finally disappeared one by one.
But this is not good news for the wizards of the empire.
They were speechless. They had never really seen these legendary creatures, and they did not expect that the other party would burn mana after death. This only resulted in one result, that is, all the wizards who were unprepared were killed in the first place.
After being burned out of magic power for a while, a few more experienced old wizards were okay, but almost all the apprentices around them were pale and staggering.
The Ether Dragon is upgraded from the Sylph Dragon and the Spider, and this characteristic is also inherited from the same origin.
But soon someone discovered a new problem:
"They're disappearing at the wrong rate."
"No, that's not disappearing, it's transferring to the etheric realm, Mr. Captain!"
The wizards were much more knowledgeable than a mere swordsman like Fanna, and they immediately realized the problem.
But at this moment, Charles was turning the cards, and the law of the planeswalker was like a ball of fire, burning in his body. This ball of fire seemed to ignite his eyes, causing the same silver light to shine in them. He was condescending.
Looking at the Cruze fortress, there seemed to be two different consciousnesses in his mind. One consciousness was thinking about the battle situation, and the other was counting carefully. After the imperial wizards misfired, the gargoyles began to occupy again.
When they reach the upper hand, although they still have to face the formidable Imperial longbowmen, at least they no longer have to face the risk of being torn apart by terrifying spells at any time and at any time.
What's more, the magic defenses on the Black Sword Barrier are gradually weakening, and the wizards who injected magic into them are also being burned out of mana at this moment.
In Charles's body, the mana that had been completely consumed in order to summon the ether dragon was slowly recovering bit by bit, and the speed of recovery seemed to be gradually accelerating as the ether dragon disappeared.
And these rising magic powers were injected back into the Ether Dragon's cards.
Then, a new batch of ether dragons appeared in the sky.
The Cruz people were looking up at the sky, and quite a few of them even opened their mouths.
"Look over there, there are some over there too!"
"It also appeared here!"
"Kill them!"
"They're gone again!"
"A new monster has appeared!"
There was chaos on top of the city wall. Imperial soldiers and wizards were watching dumbfoundedly as the ether dragons appeared and disappeared, disappeared and reappeared, but every time they disappeared, they brought new companions that seemed to increase in a geometric progression. No one
Understand what exactly happened, but the ether dragons seemed to have really gathered into the ocean. When they launched their last attack, the terrifying tsunami-like scene finally arrived. Facing thousands of countless enemies, even the most proud
The Cruz people couldn't help but weakly threw away their weapons.
That is a meaningless battle.
Charles seemed to control this sea of magic full of power, and the sea-blue magic energy gathered at his feet. The commanders of the empire had not thought of attacking him, but it was pointless. Whenever they were about to attack
When the goal was achieved, a pure silver holy shield appeared in front of Ciel, which was a hymn of blessing. Hipamira held the will of the mountains, and she had a steady stream of mana from the ether dragon to support her endless choices.
The target of this spell.
The last scene Vanna saw was that the blue ocean completely covered the walls of the Black Sword Barrier. It was not that she had never seen such a spectacular scene, but it was during the Holy War, facing the St. Osol people who were the most vulnerable.
The time of the powerful wizard.
She seemed to finally recognize the young wizard.
"It turns out it's him!"
The lady seemed to mutter to herself in disbelief: "He is not dead. He is a rare genius among the black tower wizards. I should have known. He has always been so unexpected."
Brando was slightly startled. This seemed to be the second time he heard similar words. He couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Ciel in the sky.
But at this time, Vanna had already retracted her sight. The Cruz people had been completely defeated. The backup from the fortress had not yet arrived. She could already imagine what had happened. "You won," she replied calmly: "I just didn't expect it.
Forty years later, he actually became a great wizard... The Black Tower wizard finally had another wizard leader after a thousand years. Those who made the decision back then must not have expected today. But Darus'
Sun Tzu, what have you gained? Nothing but the hatred of the empire."
Brando knew that the lady known as the White Shadow Swordsman must have misunderstood something. She actually thought that Charles had crossed the Extreme Plains and became a great wizard. However, he did not reveal this misunderstanding. In fact, he needed to
It is this misunderstanding.
And as for what he got -
He looked at the blue reflection in the sky and shook his head slightly. What he had gained, the people of the Empire would never understand.
…
Count Tonigel has gone mad.
Whether it is in Yen Castle or Graywind Port, whether it is from the north of the kingdom to the southern border south of Ampelsel, or from Denel to the dense forests of Golan-Elson, any place where there are people living there is
In this place, no matter the nobles, commoners or even those whose identities are unknown and people with ulterior motives, they are all talking about this news that has been passed back from Balta after the weather turned cold in the north and there was one or two light snowfalls.
information.
The royal party is almost crazy.
Except for Macaro and Sir Wolf Overwell, everyone acted like sharks smelling the smell of blood. They had long been dissatisfied with the Earl who was dictating to them, and this dissatisfaction was clearly evident at this moment.
It was vented through some way. A sealed letter was handed over to Macaro and the real leaders of the royal party through these people, and every word written on it was enough to make the boldest radicals tremble after reading it.
.
It is full of words of advice, abuse, harsh criticism, questioning and even slander.
Macaro could also smile bitterly at Overwell. These things were so obvious that he couldn't help but doubt the intelligence of his colleagues. But what made him doubt his own intelligence even more was the pile of things on his desk.
Another part of the letter paper above. These letter papers are not slander, but letter paper from further north, conveying a certain message.
The words written in bright red handwriting on those letters are enough to make anyone who reads them think they are reading some absurd story——
On the 25th of the Frost Moon, Count Tonigel captured the Black Sword Bastion. In this battle, except for the gargoyles that the count himself lost, there were almost no casualties. Afterwards, Count Tonigel forced (or escorted) the entire imperial army.
A grand welcome ceremony was held for the Eruin envoy led by him, and then all imperial military prisoners were released, and the repair costs of the Knight's Gate were compensated out of courtesy.
On the 27th of the Frost Moon, Count Tonigel and his envoy passed through the Toro Canyon and defeated several local Cruz nobles who came to provoke them.
On the 30th day of the month of Frost, Count Tonigel and his envoys captured Toroland, and after extorting a large sum of ransom which he called "reputation loss" and "spiritual compensation", they released all the nobles.
On the seventh day of the month of Winter Qin, Count Tonigel defeated the Summer Solstice Knights of the Cruz people.
On the 15th day of the month of Winterqen, Count Tonigel and his envoys defeated the local army of Anzeruta.
On the 19th day of the month of Winter Qin, Count Tonigel...
…
Macaro and Overwell silently read the last sentence on the letter, then gently placed it in front of Princess Griffin. They couldn't help but asked tiredly: "Okay, Your Royal Highness."
, can you please tell me, what did Count Tonigel want to do when he fell to the ground?"
Princess Griffith also glanced at the letter with some guilt, and then forced a smile to her two close ministers: "I think... Lord Earl, he should have some sense of proportion."
"Yes?" Macaro looked at Her Royal Highness in silence.
