Because she knew very well that Emerald would never lack beautiful women, and only beauties who were proficient in various elven magics could remain valuable to Emerald and stay by her side indefinitely.

Thinking of this, Viriana glanced at Marcy, who was indifferent to the battlefield and only focused on the black-stockinged foot in her hand, and felt a little jealous.

People born into privilege are truly enviable. This red-haired guy doesn't need to work hard at all; he's qualified to stay by his master's side forever simply because of the life-giving flame he was born with... tsk.

Shaking her head to clear her mind, Viliana became curious again:

"According to you, Master, Lady Judy and the others are no match for this three-headed giant Palico bear? How can they possibly win this battle? Are you perhaps going to intervene, Master?"

"I definitely won't make a move, otherwise it would be pointless."

Emery immediately shook her head, amused:

“Anna, have you forgotten something? No matter how much Judy stands out, she is only the deputy commander of this unit. That sickly colonel is the real commander... So if I’m not mistaken, the colonel should have already called for reinforcements. Judy and the others just need to hold on for a few more minutes to avoid defeat.”

"In fact, this is the material I most want to shoot, because the series of movies about the Federation Army soldiers fighting the demon tide is different from Yulia's movies. There can't be too much individual heroism. Senior Judy can be the one who shines the most as the protagonist, but she can't solve everything directly. Showing the strength and reliability of the Federation Army as a whole is the key to my new movie."

"So just wait a few more minutes. This Palico is indeed very strong, but the Federation Army can even defeat level 5 and level 6 magic tides. If we use some powerful weapons to provide support, we can easily achieve victory."

"understood."

Viliana nodded, asked no more questions, and obediently walked behind Emerald, bent down and pressed herself against her head to give Emerald a head massage.

About two more minutes passed, and reinforcements still hadn't arrived. Instead, the control-level mages at the forefront couldn't hold on any longer.

Now Judy and her group are all injured, and only Judy and three Amazon warriors are still able to fight. The other mages in the control stage have no choice but to use their life-saving methods to find medics.

"No, Emerald, I can't take it anymore."

Judy, her voice filled with deep helplessness and exhaustion, contacted Emery, who was looking completely blissful, using a communication magic device:

"I can't hold on any longer... It seems your film research this time has failed. I plan to use my last bit of strength to buy some more time before the whole army retreats."

"We can't retreat! Senior! We absolutely can't retreat!"

Emerald immediately put down her teacup and exclaimed in a somewhat exaggerated tone:

"The battles so far have been so exciting, and now we've reached the most crucial moment. How can you give up so easily? Think of Yulia in 'Yulia,' who faced the flood alone! If she had given up and run away back then, wouldn't the movie have been ruined?"

"What time is it and you're still thinking about your movie? You make it sound so easy, why don't you come to the front lines and fight this monster bear!"

Judy complained irritably:

"I'm not like Yulia, okay? Although I have great respect for Yulia's noble character, it's impossible for me to learn from her, I can't learn even a little bit... I joined the Federation Army to earn merits, become a general, and then enjoy a life of debauchery all day long, and play around with Xiao Nanliang when I have nothing to do... I'm not the kind of person who would bravely sacrifice myself, okay? Anyway, I can't hold on anymore, I'm retreating! You should also prepare to run away."

"We really can't retreat, senior! You should have received the colonel's message by now, right? Reinforcements will be here soon!"

Emery could only continue to persuade him with earnest words:

"Think about it, senior... This opportunity to work with me on a movie was something you talked a lot of hard to get from those old guys, right? If it fails like this, will you have another chance to work with me? Even if the military is still willing to work with me, they probably won't let you play the lead role again, right?"

"...Isn't the lead role in your movie supposed to be mine, junior?"

Judy gritted her teeth and retorted, while the lightning and thunder around her grew even louder.

"That's hard to say, senior."

Emerald then raised the corner of her mouth in a somewhat smug tone:

"Don't you know what kind of person I am, senior? Under normal circumstances, it's no problem for me to cooperate with an old friend like you to help you out, but if your military brings in another female officer who is fair-skinned, beautiful, and has a hot figure... hehe, then it's hard to say!"

"...Emerite! You're a scumbag! You bastard! XXXX!"

Judy finally lost her temper and yelled at Emerald over the communicator:

"If I die here today, I'll have someone turn me into a lich, and then I'll curse you with the strongest curse magic, so that your fingers will never be able to get hard again!"

"Yes, yes, yes... that's the kind of spirit I'm looking for, senior."

Emery was completely unfazed and continued to verbally provoke Judy:

"I'm saying this to you because I care about you... This is your chance to quickly gain a lot of merits, but on the other hand, if you fail, it's not impossible for you to remain a major for life, right? Can you stand that? You can't, can you? So, Judy, just keep trying and persevere. It would be best if you could shout some heroic lines. My professional filming crew is recording your every move."

"……Grass!"

Judy didn't say anything more and simply hung up the call with Emerald.

However, she clearly accepted Emerald's suggestion and decided to give it another shot.

What was originally intended as an order to retreat turned into a loud, morale-boosting shout on the public communication channel:

"Brave officers and soldiers! We are facing a very strong enemy now. Are you afraid? Are you going to retreat like this?"

"?"

Before the eerie silence on the communication channel could be followed by a response, Judy, as if she were mentally unstable, continued shouting excitedly:

"No! We must not retreat! Not a single step! Because behind us are the towns where the people of the Federation live! Our parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters! We absolutely cannot let this ferocious monster set foot in the town! Let us fight to the last moment!"

"..."

The silence on the communication channel was even more eerie, and many federal soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's wrong with the Vice Commander? Where are the Federation towns behind us? The nearest town is over 80 kilometers away, enough time to regroup and wipe out this monster bear. Is it really necessary to risk our lives here?

Perhaps... after this battle is over, we should have the vice commander have the medic examine his brain?

Many federal soldiers on the scene thought the same thing, but their duty to obey orders meant they could only think about it.

Anyway, I'm not the one fighting on the front lines. We'll have to retreat eventually once the vice commander is killed, so let's keep fighting.

As a result, the morale on the scene was indeed boosted, and many federal soldiers who had been prepared to retreat picked up their weapons and attacked again.

Of course, the professional photographer, Pancake, wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He quickly recorded the scene as completely as possible and even deliberately chose a few strange angles to make the soldiers' expressions in the shot look as excited as Judy's.

Only the Amazonian warriors, who were extremely devoted to Judy and loyal to her, were truly determined to fight and die alongside her, and wanted to directly attack the three giant Pallas's Bears. However, Judy once again ordered them to stop and remain at a distance to provide support.

"...You three should step back for now. I'm about to use that move, and there's a chance I might accidentally hurt you in the fight, since I'm not very skilled at controlling it yet."

Even the three Amazon warriors of the Control level who had been following Judy and providing her with cover received the same order.

They seemed to know and trust Judy's trump card quite well. After exchanging glances, they obeyed the order and retreated to the rear, leaving Judy alone on the battlefield to face the three giant Palico bears.

"...Damn it, I never expected that I'd have to use my trump card so soon. And there's a high chance that that scumbag woman will even make it into a movie. I can't hide it anymore."

After swearing again, Judy gritted her teeth.

"Whether I end up with nothing or win everything, it all comes down to this battle! I'm going all in! Drink!"

With Judy's roar, the 24 lightning orbs shone brighter than ever before and regrouped, forming a new arrangement around Judy.

But this time it's no longer a simple electric grid or lightning shield. The lightning beads form a more complex shape... If you look closely, you'll find that it looks somewhat like a feline creature, and the position of each lightning bead corresponds to an important organ of the creature.

Crack! Crack!

More, stronger, and denser lightning flashes continued to appear, and all the lightning beads were clearly overloaded. It was estimated that they would be damaged in no more than 3 minutes.

But Judy's trump card was finally completed. The lightning orbs were like nodes in a children's drawing book. As the lightning connection was completed, a lightning beast, almost half the height of three giant Palico bears, roared and descended.

It was clearly not a typical elemental magic shaping; it resembled a real lightning cat, with Judy sitting in the brain of the lightning beast, like a Gundam pilot.

"puff!"

Emery sprayed the tea in her mouth all over Marcy, which Marcy quickly and excitedly licked clean.

"...I was just kidding her, it was just a casual remark, how did she actually pull it off?"

Chapter 118 Who is calling for the warships?

Indeed, Amelie often admired the geniuses of this world.

For example, old man Langdon.

Emery made the remark casually, with a touch of wicked humor, but it actually inspired old man Langdon to make a technological breakthrough. Although old man Langdon has not yet achieved his research goals, the bionic magical organ technology alone is enough to make him go from a down-on-his-luck doctor to a top figure in the Federation.

Later, Emery gave Langdon a brief explanation of the concept of big data models, and thus 03, this magical version of AI, was born, becoming Langdon's irreplaceable assistant.

Judy is the same now.

Having a custom-made magical device that can complement one's innate magic isn't something that can be achieved simply by having money. At the very least, most mages in their student days can only dream of it, unless they are classmates with the eldest daughter of the Melson family.

This is also the main reason why Emerald could act like a scumbag at the academy. Just being played by her a few times would give you the chance to get a custom-made set of magical artifacts, which is definitely a shortcut in the eyes of many mages... Especially since Emerald is also very beautiful, even girls who are not girls feel that it is okay to play with her and achieve their goals. It is simply a huge profit and a win-win situation.

Although Judy had never slept with Emerald, she was the daughter of an admiral, and even Emerald had investment value. Therefore, Judy became a platonic friend of Emerald and also received the opportunity to customize a magical set.

The idea for those 24 lightning orbs was originally proposed by Emery, who had a wicked sense of humor and wanted Judy to cosplay a famous sister-obsessed character from an ancient mythological novel on Earth.

Later, Emery, with a nonsensical mindset, mentioned to Judy a certain ultimate move that those red-eyed ninjas in a ninja manga loved to use... Regardless of how powerful it was, piloting a Gundam was definitely cool.

Emery swore she was just saying it offhand and never considered that Judy would actually try it... because from a magic utilization perspective, forcibly creating an elemental giant or elemental behemoth for melee combat was less efficient than just spamming magic.

But now Judy has actually pulled off this move.

After spitting out a mouthful of tea, Emery immediately examined the Thunder Beast closely, and soon a look of realization dawned on her face:

"Good heavens... they even used old Langdon's bionic magical organ technology. Senior Judy is a genius."

Judy even managed to solve the problem of low magic utilization when forcibly constructing the elemental behemoth.

She didn't forcibly control the lightning element to condense into the shape of a feline behemoth; rather, she genuinely created an elemental creature from a biological perspective.

Judy must have diligently studied the anatomy of felines and knows the function of each of their important organs.

Then, using the principle of the bionic magical organ of old Langdon, Judy manipulated her 24 lightning orbs to exert the function of the bionic magical organ, and forcibly created a lightning elemental feline behemoth. Judy herself, relying on her talent for multi-threaded thinking, served as the brain of the lightning beast.

Although doing so consumed a great deal of Judy's energy and magic, she did indeed possess the combat power of a lightning elemental feline behemoth for a short period of time... at least when fighting large monsters, this form had a greater advantage than the human form.

Theoretically speaking, dragon-level monsters and master-level mages are of the same level. So why is it that the Federation Monster Encyclopedia has many dragon-level monsters and recommends that multiple master-level mages team up to defeat them?

The reason is that the bodies of many monsters are indeed more suitable for combat than those of humans, and one of the most crucial metrics is magic power output.

For example, both human mages and monsters have a total magic power reserve of 1000, but no matter how a human casts a spell, their magic power output will not exceed 150 per second, while a monster can unleash a magic power output of more than 500 per second in one go. In that case, it would be virtually impossible for the mage to defeat the monster.

The human meridian's ability to withstand the flow of magic has always been one of the biggest limitations for mages; otherwise, Emery wouldn't have needed to wait until she acquired Marcy, as she would have already broken through to the Fusion stage.

Judy's current move involves filling 24 Lightning Orbs with magic power beforehand, giving her the form of a Lightning Beast and increasing her magic output power, thus greatly enhancing her explosive power.

Although the price of doing this is that she's even worse off than Ultraman with a red light flashing, and she'll probably collapse from exhaustion in less than 3 minutes, gaining 2 minutes is still possible.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

And so it was. Judy, in her Thunder Beast form, roared and charged at the three giant Palico bears like a mad cat, unleashing a powerful stabbing attack right from the start.

Previously, no matter how hard the Lightning Bead attacked, it was difficult to break through the dark green scales' defense. Now, the Lightning Beast Claw is much more effective, directly tearing open the dark green scales and leaving a claw mark on the three giant Palico bears.

"Roar!"

The three giant Pallas's Bear roared in pain, swung its paws in retaliation, and once again spewed out acidic breath from its snake-like head.

Normally, in this situation, you should try to dodge or defend, just like in a game you need to follow the mechanics before attacking.

But Judy's current state is clearly abnormal. She doesn't dodge or block at all, and instead manipulates the Thunderbeast to stand upright on its legs, like cats fighting, and unleashes a storm of scratches and claws at the three giant Palico bears.

The acidic breath polluted part of the Thunder Beast's body, turning it a dark green color, and each swing of its bear claws knocked away several Thunder Orbs that functioned as organs.

But it doesn't matter. No matter how realistic the Thunderbeast controlled by Judy is, it's just a special magical effect. As long as Judy herself, who acts as the Thunderbeast's brain, isn't attacked, the Thunderbeast can recover in the next second no matter what damage it suffers before her magic runs out.

As a result, the three giant Palico bears, who weren't very bright, suffered a great loss in this round.

Its attacks were clearly stronger and more powerful, but it failed to inflict much damage. Instead, it was scratched all over by the Thunder Beast, with black blood all over the ground.

Judy successfully bought herself a significant amount of time.

But that’s as far as it goes.

The three-headed giant Palico Bear was, after all, a Demon Tide Lord. Its slightly dim-wittedness didn't mean it was brainless. After being scratched and wounded, it finally understood how to deal with the suddenly appearing giant Thunder Cat.

"Cluck~ Cluck~ Cluck~!"

The rooster head in the middle crowed to the sky again, the same ability that had previously caused more than 300 aerial mages to fall to the ground with a single move. The essence of this ability is to use sound waves to interfere with the flow of magic power, which is very effective against spells that need to be cast continuously and magical devices that need to be operated continuously.

Just like the previous flying skateboard, the current lightning bead is the same.

Judy was fighting with her last breath, and she had been persevering until now through sheer willpower. Now that her magic flow had been disrupted, she could no longer hold on.

The majestic Thunder Beast instantly disintegrated, scattering Thunder Orbs all over the ground, most of which were damaged due to overload or excessive attacks.

However, Judy herself was not panicked; instead, she breathed a long sigh of relief... because at the same time she fell to the ground, a giant magic circle with a diameter of nearly 200 meters appeared in the sky.

The reinforcements finally arrived.

Judy immediately activated her last life-saving magic device, teleporting back to the medics, and simultaneously used a communication device to issue orders to the entire frontline force:

"Artillery fire is imminent! Everyone retreat to a safe area or find cover!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the giant magic circle in the sky lit up with a blue light... It turned out to be a large-scale teleportation spell, and what it deployed to the battlefield was a behemoth of alloy that was over 120 meters long, and over 25 meters wide and high.

At the same time, a new voice also rang out on public communication channels:
