Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 188 Night Raid, Want to Take on 5 at Once?

"Yes! The Mountain Lord has not left Shennongjia!" the communications officer replied immediately.

Feng Chun frowned, glancing at the still-organized mountain men attacking the city, and sensed something was amiss. Such perfect order and uniformity could only be achieved by the Bronze Tooth Mountain Men; how could they possibly do it?

Just like human military mages, one military intelligence officer will not obey the orders of another military intelligence officer. Even if they reach an agreement, their cooperation should not be so tacit.

However, the Ten Directions Water Calamity Formation in Fancheng has already used up all its uses. If there is a Mountain Lord, it should be time for him to make a move.

Simply defending won't hold out until reinforcements arrive. Feng Chun plans to probe again to see if there's a monarch present, as this is crucial to his nighttime action plan and cannot be allowed to fail!

Suddenly, his aura surged, and large clumps of dark blue water vapor began to gather around him. It could be felt that the entire city became dry, except for his position, where water vapor lingered, rising like a cloud that had settled on the city wall!

If you look closely, you'll see that within the dark blue mist, it seems as if dark blue starlight is gathering, forming the shape of constellations. Each wisp of mist is a constellation!

More water mist constellations unfolded around him, directly enveloping the entire city wall. A large area of ​​water mist constellations merged together, forming an even more magnificent water mist cloud. And within this cloud, the magnificent and spectacular Water Star Palace was suddenly completed!

The magnificent cluster of stars pierced through the misty fog and fell into everyone's eyes, instantly emitting a dark blue glow. A thunderous roar, like crashing waves, pierced the sky, and countless shimmering lights of water shot into the heavens! It was as if one could see the vast Milky Way!

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

Accompanied by the soaring brilliance of the water, the thunderous crashing sound of the water against the shore seemed to transform into rolling thunder, or the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, the magnificent momentum growing stronger and stronger, directly covering several kilometers!

Then the Milky Way scattered, and in the mist covering a large area of ​​the sky and the earth, a colossal object, as large as a mountain, seemed to move out.

White waves hung high in the sky, reaching a height of three hundred meters! The mist gradually dissipated, revealing a dark blue body of water behind it, even wider than the magnificent city—a tsunami like a primordial beast capable of destroying everything!

"Cataclysmic flood!"

Feng Chun stood tall and proud atop the city wall, his mind focused on the vast and endless mountain army, and a magnificent and sacred magical voice resounded from his mouth.

He raised his hands and pushed them towards the endless mountain range ahead!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The towering waves crashed down, their immense power making it difficult for the mountain people to even breathe, let alone escape. Faced with this vast flood that covered several kilometers, how far could their small bodies run? Moreover, they were all densely packed together, so where could they possibly escape?

However, the commander-level Bronze Tooth Mountain Man acted more freely. Those Bronze Tooth Mountain Man at the center of the attack directly had the ordinary mountain man suppress it, forming a defense that was essentially a mountain of flesh, in the hope of resisting the engulfment of this fierce tsunami!

Those ancient bronze-toothed mountain people on the edge of the tsunami showed no mercy, using their stronger and more powerful bodies to tear apart the ordinary mountain people surrounding them and run away.

A ferocious tsunami crashed onto the ground, waves crashing against the sky, floodwaters churning, billowing, swirling, and turbulent. Even more water, like a water beast alighting on the earth, its mane flying, swept towards the more mountain people in all directions!

The mountain people were already stunned by the attack, and when they saw the death tide that was almost as tall as them surging in, they were instantly terrified and wanted to scatter and flee!

On the city wall, the military mages saw their general Feng Chun use super-level magic to annihilate a large number of demons below the city wall, clearing an area larger than six Ten Directions Water Calamity Arrays!

The corpses of those mountain people were like rotten logs and stinking sacks soaking in water, densely packed and drifting with the current.

Based on Bai Mo's estimation of the fragments of souls he had collected, this attack had wiped out at least five hundred mountain men. The area beneath the city walls was now empty, while the mountain men were regrouping and charging towards them from afar.

In no time at all, the city was surrounded again, with the mountain people even forming human walls and mountains! They waved their giant bear paws and pounded on the city wall barrier again and again.

It felt as if mountains were crashing together! A mountain giant was waving its hand! Everyone felt the city beneath their feet shake violently!

"Defense mages, reinforce the city defenses! Destruction mages, unleash your attacks!"

As soon as Feng Chun gave the order, magical light instantly shone on the vast city walls, and shields of light covered the walls, forming towering mountain barriers and rocky screens.

The defenses were meant to absorb some of the mountain people's attacks, but since the mountain people were warrior-level, their attacks were no weaker than a mid-level spell, and these defenses obviously wouldn't last long.

Fortunately, behind countless defensive lights, a destructive magical storm was gathering, with fire fists and thunderbolts, ice locks and wind discs, gradually breaking down the mountain wall below. Furthermore, high-level constellations fell, completely shattering the demonic mountains beneath the city wall. A large number of mountain people crashed down like bubbles, scattering among the even larger mountain people below, killing countless of them.

The battle continued. After releasing his super-level magic, Feng Chun made no other move. Instead, he continued to carefully observe the movements of the mountain people below the city wall, trying to find something unusual to confirm his suspicions.

But no matter how hard they searched, no matter how impenetrable or exhausted the human mages seemed, these mountain people remained completely unaffected.

Just like when they arrived, they all looked like they were about to storm Xiangcheng and drink their fill of blood.

The glow of the setting sun cast long shadows across the land, and from the endless distance, the last ray of dim yellow light fell upon the city walls forged from mountains of blood and seas of flesh!

As light and shadow intertwined, they drifted in from the horizon, casting a gradually clearer shadow beside Feng Chun.

Feng Chun turned his head to look at the man dressed as the president of the Magic Association, and asked in a calm tone:

"How's it going? You should have figured out how many mountain people there are by now, right?"

Jiang Hu nodded slightly, but his expression was somewhat heavy. He took a deep breath and said:

"There are about a hundred Bronze Tooth Mountain Men. Based on past experience, each Bronze Tooth Mountain Men would lead between five hundred and one hundred other mountain men. Judging from the scale of the mountain men that have invaded this time, there are probably more than ten thousand! This is quite a big operation; almost half of the entire mountain man tribe has been mobilized!"

"Ten thousand!"

Feng Chun's pupils contracted. More than 10,000 mountain men, the bronze-toothed mountain men alone could rival a large demon clan. Many of the high-level and super-level mages in Xiangcheng had been transferred away. If it was just for guarding, could Fancheng Pass stop the trampling of more than 10,000 mountain men?

The more he thought about this, the more determined he became of the plan that Bai Mo had mentioned a few days ago. However, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

In the blink of an eye, he calmed down and spoke in a composed tone:

"Have you found any trace of the Mountain Man Monarch?"

"no."

The Mountain Man Monarch is generally two meters taller than the Bronze Tooth Mountain Man, which is not very tall. It has a pair of diamond-like fangs, which are easy to identify if it does not try to hide them.

However, if it uses the demonic skill of "size control" that awakens when the monarch is in charge, it can grow to be about the same height as an ordinary mountain dweller.

If this mountain tribesman legion were under the command of a monarch, the city would have little hope and would not receive any support the next day.

Therefore, Feng Chuncai repeatedly confirmed whether this mountain tribe had a ruler, as this was related to the safety of Xiangcheng and also to his own plans.

Hearing Jiang Hu say no, he felt much more at ease. Although he still had doubts about the orderly actions of the Mountain Man Legion, this undoubtedly gave him a lot of confidence.

The sky was dark, and the silver moon hung high in the sky.

The situation on the city wall was clearly illuminated by the magic lamp. The darkness slowed down the mountain people's advance. They were less agile in the shadows than during the day, and their perception of shadows was weak. This was the weakness of the mountain people, and also their way of dealing with other mountain people.

Turning around and entering the conference hall, Feng Chun issued instructions.

"All high-ranking mages and above, assemble!"

There were only Feng Chun and the president of the Xiangcheng Magic Association in the meeting hall. The old president was a super-level shadow mage, which is why he was able to move freely among the mountain people during the daytime chaos of the army formation.

Soon, twenty military mages entered in an orderly fashion, followed by Li Tao leading fifteen high-level mages in.

Half of them were from the Magic Association, others were hunters, and a few others appeared to be educators.

This somber and harsh scene was clearly something they were not used to.

Strictly speaking, Bai Mo can also be considered a hunter.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Feng Chun's eyes slowly deepened. Although his expression remained gentle, an undeniable aura emanated from him.

"All mages of intermediate or higher level in the Shadow element, please go to Guild Master Jiang's side!"

So ten mages got up one after another, including military mages and hunters. Xiangcheng is adjacent to the mountain tribe, and the mountain people are not very sensitive to shadows, so there are quite a few shadow mages.

Feng Chun nodded slightly and said directly to the first military intelligence officer on his right, "If I'm not here tomorrow morning, you will be in full command of them. Fight and retreat, retreating to Xiangcheng Anjie!"

The officer was stunned and at a loss for words, his voice stammering.

"General! Why?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned their attention to Feng Chun.

Feng Chun's face was calm, and his exceptionally clear words echoed in the room.

"President Jiang has completed the reconnaissance. The number of mountain people attacking this time far exceeds expectations, reaching more than 10,000. There are 100 of them, including the Bronze Tooth Mountain People. If we only defend, we won't be able to hold out for long, and we won't be able to wait for reinforcements."

"The mountain people become sluggish in the dark, and shadows are something they can't see even with their eyes open. I plan to take advantage of the darkness tonight to launch a surprise attack on the mountain people, carry out the decapitation plan, and try to eliminate most of the Bronze Tooth Mountain People. Without a commander, those mountain people won't cooperate as well as they do during the day, and our defensive pressure will be greatly reduced."

After hearing Feng Chun's words, everyone else's eyes widened. Most of them had seen Feng Chun defeat his opponents head-on with his strength, but they didn't know he was even more daring, resorting to such risky tactics!

If one is not careful and falls into the encirclement of the mountain people, even a super-level mage will die on the spot if he is not careful.

Jiang Hu and Li Tao, who knew Feng Chun quite well, showed expressions of no surprise. They recalled their conversation yesterday. Jiang Hu, as Feng Chun's mentor, had been involved in many of his actions, not to mention Li Tao.

Initially, both of them were military mages, but Li Tao later felt that teaching and educating people was more valuable than simply killing, so he left the army.

"This is suicide! I won't do it!"

A young man with curly hair angrily walked out of the group standing with Chairman Jiang. He had come to Xiangcheng for fun, but he never expected to encounter such a thing.

To launch a sneak attack on the mountain people in the middle of the night, when there are swarms of demons everywhere!

Even if a sneak attack succeeds, what's the point? The smell of blood will instantly agitate the demons, and they'll be torn to shreds in a flash!

"This night raid and decapitation operation is entirely voluntary. You can choose not to go; is there anyone who wouldn't?"

Feng Chun nodded slightly, without any extra expression, only glancing at the remaining nine shadow mages.

The remaining nine shadow mages stood still. Except for one young hunter who cast a disdainful glance at the young shadow mage who had left the group, the others quietly awaited Feng Chun's next instructions.

"The number of people involved in this decapitation operation should not be too large." Feng Chun gestured to a member of the Magic Association and a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau behind Chairman Jiang.

"You two just stay with us. The other shadow mages will be in charge of the city's magic array tomorrow, unless I return."

"High-level spatial mages, step forward," Feng Chun continued.

Bai Mo and two military intelligence officers stepped forward. Bai Mo nodded slightly as a greeting. He guessed that these two were probably senior high-level mages. After all, the space element, which is usually awakened at a high level, was already at a high level. As for the other elements, it was easy to imagine.

"Bai Mo, are you willing to participate in this operation?" Feng Chun looked at him and asked to confirm.

Bai Mo rolled her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Haha, good." Feng Chun laughed heartily, and without saying much, he selected four more mages with high cultivation, rich combat experience, and specializing in destruction magic. Together with himself, Li Tao, and Jiang Hu, there were exactly twelve people.

After making arrangements for the decapitation squad, Feng Chun also made some contingency plans in case something unexpected happened to him and Xiangcheng was left undefended.

Only then did he lead the group out of the city quietly under the shadow of the master of shadows, Jiang Hu.

Under the pitch-black night, only shadow or light magic users can see normally, but Feng Chun has equipped everyone with special night vision glasses.

In this moonlit environment, the area within 100 meters is almost indistinguishable from daytime.

Although Feng Chun had never carried out a night raid before, he had already developed this plan in his mind, so everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

The group was led by three shadow mages through the mountain people below the city wall. After encountering the Bronze Tooth Mountain People, who would attack, who would restrain them, who would provide cover, and how to retreat?

Everything was allocated clearly and transparently.

The mountain people knew that they were unlikely to be a match for these human military mages at night, so they did not choose to continue attacking the city, but instead rested on the spot.

The mountain people crawling around them couldn't even notice them.

Only the three of them, all Super-Rank, were truly the main attackers; Bai Mo and the others would occasionally fill in. That's right, this uncle wasn't being polite at all; after learning of Bai Mo's strength, he didn't just treat him as a space-type mage.

Before long, they found a man from the Ancient Bronze Tooth Mountain who was surrounded by more than a hundred ordinary mountain people.

But such an impenetrable defense was nothing compared to the Shadow faction. Jiang Hu made no move as they approached the bronze-toothed mountain man.

Six slender, shadowy sword nails suddenly materialized, silently tearing through space and imprisoning the Ancient Bronze Tooth Mountain Man in place.

Immediately afterwards, a thick layer of dark mist rose up, directly enveloping an area of ​​a hundred meters in radius, obscuring the mountain people's perception of magical aura and human scent.

Before the man from Ancient Bronze Tooth Mountain could let out a powerful roar, Bai Mo calmly uttered a musical note, which instantly merged into the air, turning the surroundings into a silent realm.

Then, a military mage instantly conjured a long, sturdy ice arrow in his hand, its icy aura even more terrifying than that of the frozen coffin! The ice arrow flew, leaving a clear frost mark in the air, and pierced the eye of the Bronze Tooth Mountain Man, penetrating it to the root.

A terrifying aura of ice emanated from the ice arrow, freezing the head of the Bronze Tooth Mountain Man from the inside out in just one breath, even coating his bronze fangs with white frost!

In the blink of an eye, the life of a man from Gutongyashan vanished.

And the moment Feng Chun and the others confirmed that the life force of the ancient bronze tooth mountain people had suddenly disappeared, they once again vanished into the darkness.

During the long night, not every Bronze Tooth Mountain Man is asleep; some are engaged in group activities, like the Bronze Tooth Mountain Man in front of us.

Covered in mountain spirits, it was so excited that it was completely unaware that a thick shadow had approached.

"Damn it, we're fighting tooth and nail, and these mountain folk have time to relax, even in a 1v5 situation!"

Feng Chun cursed under his breath, while another Shadow Mage had already quietly cast Night's Domination, covering the entire area.

"What? You want to take on 5 people too?"

A sharp, cold glint flashed in Li Tao's eyes. Thousands of different colored wind breaths converged and transformed into eight sharp wind blades, slashing down like a whirlwind. In an instant, they cut several mountain men into pieces, and the bronze-toothed mountain man also had cracks on his body that were almost enough to sever his body.

"beer!!!"

A painful and angry cry rang out as the Ancient Bronze Tooth Mountain Man summoned his people, but under the intense influence of the Night God, the sound could not be heard.

Feng Chun didn't respond, but Bai Mo wanted to see a good show. However, the mountain people outside were still awake, so he raised his hand and slid out the silver hairpin spear. The spatial blade flew and directly cut the already seriously injured bronze-toothed mountain man in half.

After dealing with the mountain man, everyone quickly disappeared from the spot, leaving behind the other mountain men who had rushed over to the gathering, staring blankly at the corpses scattered on the ground.
