It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Of the three magical mechanical councilors who tried to stop the border duke, one was killed and two were seriously injured.

The so-called Magic Energy Mechanical Councilors are the elite combat force of the Magic Energy Mechanical Research Institute of the Kolei Empire. Their status is similar to that of the Twelve Seats of Divine Punishment and the Twelve Pillars of Radiance.

One person died and two were seriously injured at once, both at the legendary limit level. This must have made the Kolei Empire so heartbroken that they were probably about to shed tears.

Compared to the Radiant Empire, the Kolei Empire has far fewer top-tier warriors at the Legendary Limit and above, and due to their choice of path, their combat strength is inherently weaker than that of legendary knights on the traditional path.

Originally, the three legendary, ultimate-level magical mechanical councilors intended to intercept the Border Duke and then immediately make their escape.

After all, they knew that the three of them alone were no match for the border duke.

But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, one person would die and two would be seriously injured. If the person who knew he was going to die hadn't self-destructed before he died, giving the other two a chance to escape, and if the border duke hadn't been concerned about the situation on the other side of the solid stone wall and hadn't pursued them, the final result wouldn't have been one person dead and two seriously injured, but all three of them would have perished here.

Looking at the ruins everywhere, Fuma's eyes were icy, but when she thought of the news she had received earlier, the coldness in her eyes unconsciously faded.

Roy is coming.

Actually, although we've known each other for a long time, this is Roy's first time visiting the Stonewall.

As the host, I was supposed to treat them well, but look at the state of things now…

A look of helplessness appeared on Fuma's charming yet spirited face.

"What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in it."

Just then, a gentle male voice appeared in Fuma's ear.

She was startled at first, then realized what was happening, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Lord Roy, it's not exactly gentlemanly behavior to casually appear behind a lady."

“Hmm, that makes sense, but I’ve never been a gentleman.” Roy and Lilia stepped out of the shadows, and he said with a smile.

"Good day, Miss Lilia." Fuma gave a slight bow, performing a noble greeting.

"Your Highness Fuma, hello." Lilia smiled slightly. Although her relationship with Fuma wasn't exactly harmonious before, they had been through so much together, so at least she could offer a smile when they met.

"Your Highness Fuma, how is the situation at the front?" After exchanging greetings, Roy didn't waste any words and asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Fuma's face became much more serious: "Although the scouts had observed the movements of the Kolei Empire, we did not expect their offensive to come so quickly and so urgently. According to the strategists' predictions, it will take at least another week for the Kolei Empire to be fully prepared for war."

"At the level of superpowers like Glorious and Cole, petty conspiracies are meaningless. Both sides are transparent with each other in many aspects of information, and the battle is a clash of hard power."

"The current situation is as if something has forced the Kolei Empire to break its own rhythm and launch an attack ahead of schedule."

"The sudden 'starfall' caused damage to the solid stone wall and casualties among hundreds of knights, but overall, the casualties on the Kolei Empire side were far more severe, making it hard to understand their purpose in doing so."

Fuma looked puzzled.

She truly couldn't understand why the Kolei Empire would take such a step.

The damaged stone wall can be restored in a day or two at most with the full efforts of the craftsmen, and it will not affect the overall situation at all.

Fuma's words made Roy frown. He thought for a moment and then said:

“Your Highness Fuma, the current situation reminds me of the purpose behind the Kolei Empire’s use of ‘Starfall’ last winter.”

"Oh?" Fuma's eyes lit up. This was the first time she had heard Roy mention this, and her expression immediately became serious: "Please go on."

"Do you still remember the witch named Tonière in my manor?"

“Miss Toni? Of course I know her. I heard from Master Craftsman that she is quite talented in enchanting. She has already mastered all the basic enchantments and more than 90% of the intermediate enchantments, and has begun learning advanced enchantment runes,” Lilia said.

“Because of Tonnie’s special status, I didn’t say much about her before,” Roy said in a deep voice. “But now it seems that I have no choice but to speak out.”

“Tonyne is not from our Radiant Empire. She is from the Cole Empire and is a witch who was persecuted by the Magic Energy Machinery Research Institute.”

“I rescued her and helped her break free from the Corle Empire’s control methods, so now she stays in Blackrock Territory and helps me with some small tasks.”

"The key point is how Tonière entered the Corleone Empire."

Roy looked at Fuma: "It was the last 'Starfall' that destroyed the solid stone wall and disrupted the magic array, allowing the special magical energy device that allows the Kolei Empire to travel deep underground to infiltrate the Radiant Realm."

"Therefore, I suspect that the Kolei Empire is resorting to the same old tricks this time, and its purpose is likely to send certain people or things into the territory of the Radiant Empire."

After hearing Roy's explanation, Fuma's pupils contracted slightly, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

"I need to inform my father about this immediately."

"Lord Roy, please come with me."

Just as the three were about to set off, suddenly, a series of loud "thump! thump! thump!" sounds rang out from the solid stone wall, echoing across the surrounding area.

"The war drums are beating, the enemy is attacking!" Fuma's expression changed, and she explained to Roy, "It's probably another attack by the Kolei Empire."

"Wait a minute." Roy thought for a moment. "Your Highness Fuma, you can go and inform the Duke about this yourself. I want to go to the front lines to take a look. To be honest, I'm very curious about these magical mechanical knights."

“That works too.” Fuma nodded and handed Roy a crimson gold token: “An identification badge. Just hang it on your waist to avoid being accidentally shot by friendly forces. Most people here don’t know you, and I bet you’ll be wearing that gray spiral mask again later, so you’ll need this to prove your identity even more.”

“Alright.” Roy accepted the token, watched Fuma’s rapidly receding figure, smiled, took out a mask from his spatial ring and put it on, then strode towards the solid stone wall: “Let’s go, Lilia, let’s go and see the power of magical machinery.”

“Yes, Lord Roy.” Lilia nodded slightly, her body blending into the shadows behind Roy. “I’m always by your side.”

Roy soon arrived at the solid stone wall. Because of the token at his waist, the knights only glanced at the strange man wearing the gray spiral mask out of curiosity, and no one stopped him.

The crimson gold token represents the offering tablet of the Duke's mansion, holding a lofty status, and only border dukes have direct command authority over it.

The solid stone wall is nearly a hundred meters high. Its rough texture, having withstood the test of time and bloodshed, gives people a sense of the weight of history.

Roy could sense that the wall contained a special array power that penetrated deep into the earth and rose into the sky. Before the array was broken, nothing could penetrate it.

After a brief observation of the solid stone wall, Roy turned his gaze to the vast and imposing army of the Clay Empire knights approaching from afar.

The first thing that catches the eye is a "shield-guard" knight wearing specially thickened mechanical armor and wielding a metal shield taller than a person.

They numbered in the hundreds, forming a advancing human wall to defend against attacks falling from the solid stone wall.

Behind these shield-guard knights were ranged mechanical knights whose armor appeared lightweight and who carried a special weapon similar to a sniper rifle.

Their numbers were similar to those of the Shield Knights, and they were mostly positioned in a grid formation, using the flesh and blood of thousands of regular knights as cover as they moved quickly, making them difficult to locate.

As for the official knights, they moved slowly in small teams of several dozen people, pushing a mobile, cannon-like device.

The direction these Clay Empire knights were heading was clearly towards that area of ​​the broken, solid stone wall.

Clearly, the Kolei Empire had gone to great lengths to destroy a section of the barrier, and they certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch the artisans repair it.

Roy's eyes were full of interest as he watched the approaching Clay Empire knights.

The weapons and equipment used by these mechanical knights gave him a strong sense of familiarity yet strangeness, as if he had returned to his past life.

"Unfortunately, it's only similar in appearance..." Roy sighed inwardly.

These magical firearms and cannons may look similar, but their internal structure and power sources are completely different.

Roy, standing at the edge of the barrier, lifted a foot and walked forward in mid-air, as if walking on a solid staircase, step by step, until he landed on the ground.

On the solid rock wall, the red knights who noticed Roy's actions were all startled and immediately warned, "My lord, be careful, their ranged attacks are very powerful."

Roy didn't turn around, he just waved his hand simply.

"It's alright, don't worry about him, we can proceed as normal." At this moment, a burly figure appeared on the ramparts, none other than Andrew, the legendary knight of the Flame Sword.

The Crimson Knights all recognized Andrew, and their expressions immediately turned serious, but a large portion of them still cast curious glances at the gray-screwed monster.

What does he want to do?

"call……"

The spring breeze, carrying the smell of gunpowder and blood, flowed into Roy's nostrils.

He let out a long sigh, stopped a thousand meters away from the solid stone wall, and looked at the approaching Kolei mechanical knights.

His conspicuous actions naturally attracted the attention of the strongmen in the Kolei army immediately.

Walking through the void is a symbol of legend.

Such a powerful figure naturally has a corresponding powerful mechanical knight to deal with him on the Kolei Empire's side.

"hiss--"

The air was torn apart, and more than a dozen streaks of dark silver light pierced the sky, accurately shooting towards Roy's brow.

It was a special piercing projectile with a sharp tip and an overall elongated shape, designed specifically to break through the protective aura shield of legendary knights.

Although they didn't understand the gray-screwed masked man's intentions, since he had stepped forward, the Kolei Empire naturally wouldn't be polite.

"careful!"

On the solid rock wall, Andrew couldn't help but send a telepathic message.

He had suffered greatly from this type of ammunition in a previous battle, and he almost lost his life if his teammates had come to his rescue in time.

Roy smiled and raised his hand just as the shrapnel was about to hit him.

Everyone was just a fleeting illusion.

Then, to their horror, they saw that Roy's raised right hand held twelve long, narrow bullets, each emitting a faint blue smoke and glowing with energy, between his five fingers.

"I accept your gift."

Roy said calmly, "Then please accept my gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his right hand, and twelve blasting bullets shot back into the cavalry formation of the Kolei Empire at a much faster speed than when they arrived.

"Thorn--!"

The air tore apart, and twelve jet-black lines flashed across the battlefield. The next instant, twelve ranged mechanical knights at the peak of the Gold level, hiding in the crowd of the Kolei Empire's knight ranks, froze, and a hole appeared between their eyebrows, crackling with electric arcs.

The fighting spirit and soul power attached to the bullets instantly annihilated their souls.

Invisible threads drew the life force, soul power, and battle aura of the twelve peak-level gold knights into Roy's body, condensing them into one blood soul essence after another.

"Is this the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield...?"

Roy murmured, "It's not too bad."

"clang!"

A figure suddenly appeared beside Roy, a serrated greatsword crackling with lightning slashing fiercely toward Roy's neck, intending to decapitate him in one blow. However, when it was still a dozen centimeters away from its target, it was blocked by a dark silver longsword.
