Four-Armed Divine Emperor
Page 22
The confrontation also gave him a rough idea of the strength of the Xerxes mage.
After the first attack failed, he decisively changed his position, used his psychic power to conceal his whereabouts and retreated into the camp.
After entering the mountains, he vaguely sensed two sensations of being spied on. This was somewhat similar to when he used reconnaissance magic on others, but the range was larger and more covert, like a radar.
El searched all the warlock abilities he possessed, but none of them seemed to be able to cope with this "fog of war" reconnaissance method. However, he still possessed another power that was completely different from El's world.
Psychic!
The psychic energy within him naturally formed a shield, completely blocking the two large-scale "scans" that involved him! He didn't know the specific situation, but he had a hunch that it was related to the Xerxes mages. His bloodline and psychic energy combined to give him a terrifying intuition, making him realize that he, and even the legions behind him, seemed to have avoided the enemy mages' reconnaissance methods.
Although Grace was sometimes reluctant to work, she still worked seriously after receiving the contract from King Adwin. Two small-scale divinations confirmed that there was no threat of ambush within a certain period of time and distance, which increased Adwin's confidence in "the Devingales were unaware of the attack and ambushed in advance" by five levels.
However, this ultimately led to the Xerxes' expeditionary army falling into its current miserable situation, which is hard to describe.
Using the power of elemental control supplemented by psychic energy, coupled with the hard work of the mountain people in the past few days, Al successfully "grew" the mountain roads on both sides, which were originally only half the height, by half the distance. It looked like a natural barrier, and no normal person would think that the enemy would rush up from above. In fact, behind and below were empty shells supported by wooden boards, similar to those planes and tanks made of wood, cardboard or iron sheets during World War II to fool the enemy.
Finally, when Saruman led the vanguard to turn against Xerxes and blocked his way, Aiur, with the help of his warriors, "pushed down" the hill, causing it to crash into the enemy in the passage, like a "punishment from heaven."
Al's character is one of stability, which does not conflict with his ambition. If he fails in an attack, he will immediately hide and use psychic power to conceal his actions to avoid being defeated by the opponent's unpredictable means.
So far, he has only been able to count on his fingers the secrets of three people: Ansuna, the princess, and the mountain woman.
But when I think about how it's only been less than a month since El fell from the sky into this world, it seems...
The real fox spirit who had been begging him to help reconnect with the tribe, had not seen any of the so-called tribesmen come to contact her until the two armies started fighting. Although Al felt that the other party was not lying, he also felt that if she didn't come again, his curiosity about fox meat made him feel itchy on his lance. He wanted to eat it so much and wanted to try what the fox tasted like.
Al still had many desires waiting to be released and many pursuits waiting to be satisfied. Naturally, he was in a safe mindset. When he failed to kill the two opponents who seemed to be the king and the wizard with one shot, he immediately moved away, just like the rapid relocation of artillery positions after opening fire in modern warfare.
He has to wait for the opportunity.
The chaotic battle has begun. The mountain people are the first vanguard to launch the attack. Their adaptability to the mountains and their fearlessness and bravery are just right for them to deal with the current war. They were hit hard by the falling and collapsed mountain parts, and the Xerxes' battle line was visibly loosened after being ambushed. The mountain people warriors just rushed forward, with the gods standing behind them!
The Dervengaelic people provided equipment support. Muten had previously seized a large amount of Xerxes' equipment, which had been sent to the borderlands under the guise of returning it to the territory. The Dervengaelic people looked down on it, but the mountain people could greatly improve their combat effectiveness after changing into it. The "gods" provided morale and enthusiasm—after death, they would return to the kingdom of Anu! Enjoy the beauty of half the world!
There are also tactical bonuses brought by ambush!
The fact that the prince and the holy witch were almost killed by the "God's Punishment Light Pillar" greatly shocked the Xerxes. They were stunned, and many of them did not react to what was happening until they died, and were beheaded by the mountain warriors with red eyes and fanatical faces.
In just a few encounters, the Xerxes' outer positions were torn to pieces. The noble officers who were still doing their duty shouted and cursed at the top of their lungs, waving whips and swords, and reorganized their defense line.
The soldiers walking in the front were all wearing light armor. Faced with the barbarian army that was so aggressive and seemed to be ready to devour anyone, they had no intention of resisting. The prince's encouragement and the promise of victory were all thrown to the back of their heads in the face of their lives. They squeezed back desperately, not to escape, but in this situation, the resistance of ten or a hundred people was meaningless and would be gone in a flash like waves in the tide!
We must rely on the strong elite soldiers and armored warriors in the central army to stabilize the front line!
They are willing to fight, but only if they see an opportunity.
"it's time!"
The two armies fought for a while. The Xerxes did not dare to retreat and could only try their best to move towards the center and form a tight formation to resist the attack. The center also resumed operation because Ai'er did not launch a follow-up attack. The prince did not dare to show up and moved into the tent car. The mage also hid in it with him.
That majestic chariot also serves as a useful protective tool.
Seeing this, Al knew that a fierce stalemate would follow. The mountain people were now his "believers" in a sense, and too many casualties would be no different from his own. So he sent a message to Gandalf to carry out the next battle plan.
The old mountain leader was excited and nervous and began to work hard on this
Chapter 39
He was still riding on the brown bear this time, holding the so-called "divine weapon bestowed by God", which was actually an ordinary crutch. He slapped the bear's butt from the camp behind the hill, and rushed over the slope and down.
"For the god Anu! For El!!"
Two halos were cast upon Gandalf and his mount at the same time.
【Increase resistance】!
【Mage Armor】!
Then he waved his scepter and raised it to the sky. Another blazing "ray" that was slightly smaller than the previous one fell from the sky. However, unlike the previous way that penetrated the sky and the earth, this time the "sunlight" existed independently, like a glowing stick that smashed into the crowd, instantly causing a burst of strong light to hit their faces.
After a few wailing sounds, a layer of soil on the ground was lifted off, and several Xerxes warriors were motionless or rolling on the ground in pain.
"Can't get out?"
Al stood among the mountain archers who were throwing and shooting, wearing a sackcloth robe and inconspicuous.
This time Gandalf went to seduce him.
Apart from magic items and certain high-level spells, there is no way for a mortal to master the power of "magic".
But his psychic power can do this, or rather "fake" it.
He attached his own psychic power to Gandalf, making him look like a powerful "melee wizard" who could charge into battle with his own body. However, he didn't know whether the enemy wizard would show up and attack in response to Aiur's sudden attack.

Chapter 37: Psychic Blessing!
Al doesn't need to be anxious, it is the other party who is anxious.
On the mortal battlefield, because of the three advantages mentioned above, plus the negative impact of the ambush of Xerxes' men and the attack on their commander, Devangel's side had an absolute advantage.
The Xerxes could certainly rely on their elite troops to resist for a while, but our "holy wizard" had been slow to take action, while the enemy's "magician" was showing off his power on the battlefield. Although the damage caused by Aiur through Gandalf was extremely limited, at best not even half of that of a wizard apprentice who had learned [Elemental Control], it was still a great deterrent to the enemy.
The mountain people used their fanatical and fearless bravery to continuously penetrate and attack the crumbling defense line of the Xerxes. In a great holy war under the watchful eyes of the "gods", which was also destined to win and win the supreme glory, they were not afraid of death and were not afraid to exchange their lives for others.
Soon, the mountain road was littered with dead and wounded. The mountain people suffered casualties wherever they passed through every piece of land that the Xerxes stepped on, but the same was true for the Xerxes who were constantly retreating, and the cost was even greater!
The mountain people collected a kind of vine that was extremely tough and flammable after drying, tied it to stones or fragments, and then lit it. The strong men kept smashing it at the Xerxes' formation. If they were lucky, they could take away several people, constantly disrupting the Xerxes' formation and making them panic. They had to face the threat from the front and be wary of attacks from above.
At this height, as long as the mass is sufficient and a little force is applied, it is enough to knock a person unconscious. A hard stone with enough force is also a strong long-range weapon.
The elite warriors of Devngel have also begun to take the initiative to attack. They will not let the Xerxes rebuild their morale and engage in a war of attrition. Although the enemy is doomed to fail, such losses are also what the Devngel do not want to see. Ai'er does not want to fill the gap with the lives of the mountain people. They can only end the battle as soon as possible, completely smash the enemy's resistance, collapse their morale and make them flee. This sufficiently elite army will easily be destroyed in the mountain pass from which they came.
"Roar!"
The brown bear roared, raised its front body and slapped down two Xerxes soldiers who were rushing forward, knocking them down.
"God is above!"
Gandalf roared, and he rushed to the front riding on his war bear. In the eyes of countless mountain people, the power emanating from this "old" leader was the blessing of the gods and the symbol of Aiur behind them.
The swords of the Xerxes were unable to break the stream of light surrounding Gandalf and his mount. Even the mage armor released by the most ordinary wizard was enough to make him ignore most of the mortal weapons. The brown bear ridden by Gandalf was also stimulated by the rich blood and atmosphere on the battlefield and became manic. He was no longer afraid of human soldiers as before. After discovering that they could not hurt him, he rushed in all directions and rampaged among the Xerxes. Many coalition soldiers followed closely behind, using the war bears as spearheads to constantly tear the enemy's wounds.
If the progress continues at this rate, and if the Xerxes wizard does not show up, the Xerxes, who are attacked from all sides, will soon be unable to hold on. At that time, with the participation of mortal troops in the siege, Ai'er will be more confident that he can defeat the enemy intact.
Obviously, the enemy knows this too.
So Grace had to stand up, even if it was just to show her presence, she had to stand up, otherwise the demoralized Xerxes army would not be able to hold on no matter what.
Dangerous magic power was gathering, and El, who had been scanning the battlefield with his psychic power, instantly caught sight of this abnormal fluctuation.
In the tent carriage surrounded by Xerxes's men, Grace bit her lip, her senses blocked through the screen window, and she was fixed on Gandalf who was charging forward on his war bear pig.
In her hands, a ball of extremely cold magic power was taking shape, transforming into a crystal clear ice spear.
【Frozen Spear】!
This is Gray.
Chapter 40
This is the most powerful offensive spell that Si has mastered, and it is also the first three-level spell she has learned.
Not long after she learned this spell, Grace met the "Wise and Foolish" wizard and followed him to study prophecy, but she did not slack off in her mastery of the old skills.
In order to fully understand the model of the [Frozen Lance], Grace spent nearly four months in the library and training ground. She even mastered all the spell models in advance through some private channels. In the end, she was promoted to a three-ring mage because of her excellent "defense" evaluation.
Although her third ring actually has some water, and she has not fully mastered the three basic third ring spells, Grace does have a unique understanding of the spell [Frozen Spear].
In King Adwin's war, she had thrown a ball from a distance of nearly 500 steps, pinning the enemy commander to death in the camp. The exploding ice crystals blew the camp to pieces, killing several adjutants along with them, and easily won a victory for Adwin.
Gandalf, who had been targeted by the enemy wizard, was still unaware of it and was still waving his scepter enthusiastically, urging his mount to continue charging, making the enemy bleed and crushing the demon!
"All forces attack! Attack! The kingdom of Anu has opened its gates to all of us!"
He knew that his dazzling move would most likely attract the attention of his enemies, but it didn't matter. In the short time he came into contact with Al, he immediately knelt down and worshiped him. In addition to his belief in the "Four-Armed Myth", he also had the intention of flattering Al and using his "power" to benefit his own people.
But after a short period of time, he truly believed that Ai'er was the legendary god! He was the one he must be loyal to and serve wholeheartedly!
The god Anu will restore the glory of the mountains, and he, the first mountaineer given the name "Gandalf", will be able to share the endless great glory of the god at his feet!
"For Al!"
【Frozen Spear】!
The cold magic turned into a hard ice spear, which pierced through the screen window of the tent carriage with the speed of lightning, leaving an icy trail in the air, aiming directly at Gandalf!
The man and the bear who were eager to kill had no advance warning. Of course, even if Al had put many layers of buffs on them, they were still just mortals and beasts. How could they go up to "guard against" a mage?
Until the threat of death was approaching, the brown bear with animal instincts finally reacted faster than a human. It raised its body in fear and tried to dodge backwards, letting out a terrified roar. The shield released by El only provided a slight barrier before it was shattered. The big brown bear had no time to dodge and was pierced through the chest by the ice spear!
Before reaching the end, the ice spear is harder than steel, and will turn into ice crystal fragments after hitting the target, causing a small-scale explosion and freezing damage around it.
When the magic spear passed through the brown bear's chest, it did not hit the enemy and kill it as Grace had expected. Instead, it continued to pass through the air until it finally fell into the group of mountain people, pierced a warrior, and then sank into the ground, shattering into ice crystals.
Gandalf, who should have been killed together with his mount, suddenly found himself among the mountain warriors after a trance. The morale of the soldiers around him was slightly dampened when they saw the war bear fall to the ground, but Gandalf quickly realized that he was saved by Al and immediately raised the scepter. Al cooperated with him to manipulate psychic power to create a vision, so that the entire enemy and friendly forces would notice this scene.
"God bless you! God bless you!" Gandalf in white robe shouted loudly, triggering another round of fanatical cheers, and the momentum of the mountain people's attack was accelerated.
After using [Dimensional Jump] to pull Gandalf away, Al's psychic power immediately locked onto the enemy wizard's position.
Now, although the power of [Flame Sun Flare] is temporarily not suitable for use on him, it is enough for Al to make sure that the opponent has not escaped from the battlefield or is lying in ambush somewhere else waiting to ambush him!
Fucking psychic blessing!
【Element Control】!
Break it for me!
The ground shook, and the ground within the Xerxes' position suddenly rose up, sending the unsuspecting soldiers tumbling to the ground. Many of the unfortunate ones tumbled down, only to be pinned to the ground and slashed by the red-eyed mountaineers who strode forward.
Then, Al operated just like he did when he overturned the wall of Muten. With the help of psychic power, his control ability using only elemental control was enhanced several times. The soil in his hands was like a ball of clay in the hands of a child, and it could be shaped at will.
When Ai'er thought to the left, the rolling waves rolled to the left; when he thought to the right, the waves rolled to the right, rolling the Xerxes on the ground back and forth, tossing them over and over, unable to even hold their weapons, let alone stand.
King Adwin, who had been hiding in the tent carriage and not daring to go out beside Grace, observed the battle situation through the window. Seeing the earth changing under the power of the enemy wizard and his own soldiers being as small as ants and being easily crushed, he was almost furious and bit his lips decorated with gold powder. The prince's blood dripped from the corners of his mouth to the ground.
"Sir Grace, please think of a solution quickly!"
"You're not saying... If this continues, the soldiers' morale will collapse!"
He had never been so terrified before. He had witnessed Grace's fierce battles on the battlefield, but he had never seen such terrifying power as that of the wizard who had not yet made an official appearance but treated magic as a toy and manipulated the earth to attack them.
Chapter 41
Grace was also very shocked when she saw this.
The enhanced spells such as the scorching rays that the opponent had cast from the sky before had already made her feel very difficult. Now he had displayed such terrifying elemental control. It was obvious that this was not a "first-ring" wizard in her perception, but a wizard of the same level as her at least - an absolute king of magic!
Why would a mage of this caliber come to a demon-poor area like Serso?
He wasted his spells on a group of mortal soldiers. Isn't he worried about not having enough magic power?
All kinds of doubts filled Grace's mind. It was really weird. Although she couldn't say that her predictions were perfect, and she didn't dare to make random predictions about many things that were slightly specific and high-level, it could be said that they were almost certain. However, they inexplicably capsized today!
An unexpected ambush occurred, and then an enemy far more powerful than she had imagined nearly killed her with a single blow! Ruthless! Resolute! Merciless!
If mages who have been trained in the secular world are involved in a war, there will be an unwritten agreement between them, such as the two sides communicating with each other on the battlefield to leave an impression.
After entering the battlefield, the mages have a noble status and cannot be restrained by the rule of "each serving his own master". They can fight and compete with each other, but try not to kill each other. After all, they all came from the floating city and studied in the White Tower. If you want to approach them forcefully, they are all classmates, seniors, juniors, and juniors, but they are not in the same floating city or academy.
This is in some areas where the number of mages is sparse, there are only a few people on both sides, and they also hold monopoly rights, so the contractual constraints of secular lords are limited.
In the prosperous realm, countries would set up mage corps to attack each other, and even hundreds of "sages" wearing rings might die in a war. Prosperity meant that the intensity of wars became stronger, and secular rules became more effective. In the middle stage of the war when the outcome had not yet been determined, there would not be such a tender and affectionate atmosphere.
Grace was shocked by the opponent's use of a killing move right at the start. She even wondered if the opponent was a wizard who came from the West. To her, a prophet who preferred to have fun, the idea of killing people as soon as they met was a bit scary.
The power displayed by the opponent is also extremely powerful...
She is now starting to consider running away!
Adwin is indeed very generous, but...if she goes to another place, she can still get a lot, and it will only increase slowly.
Why risk your life for a secular contract?
