The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

As for the location...

Instead of answering directly, Chlorie reached out and tapped lightly on the map.

Wiener carefully examined the route she was pointing to, and compared it with the route his group had taken to retreat. He immediately understood what was going on.

"Lady Chlorie has quite the appetite."

"Likewise." Chlorie smiled.

-----------------

The following morning, before the mist had completely dissipated, the armor and weapons gleamed coldly in the rising sunlight.

After a night of rest, the Kingdom's army was ready to go, and the soldiers' eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.

Dimili stood at the front of the battle lines, brandishing his spear: "Today, my lords, follow me and conquer Cordelia!"

"Whoa whoa!"

With a roaring sound, the army advanced like a tidal wave.

Chapter 668 Tornado Destroys the Mystic Array

Having already learned their lesson, the Kingdom Army immediately deployed the Xuan Magnetic Array to the forefront, advancing towards the feudal lords' positions.

Thirty-six burly men, each carrying a shield, advanced steadily forward, spaced about twenty paces apart.

Despite being nothing more than flesh and blood, it was like an indestructible city wall.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The defenders hastily launched a volley of arrows, which instantly rained down like locusts.

Before these arrows could even get close to the Xuan Magnetic Array, they were blocked by an invisible repulsive force and fell to the ground.

Even the giant crossbow bolts fired by the ballistae were only a few meters closer than those arrows fired from bows and arrows, and were clearly still far from hitting their targets.

Kurori, intending to test the limits of this mystical magnetic array, nocked an arrow at Nizhegu.

This fully drawn bow, poised to fire, is even more powerful than a crossbow.

Even such a fierce arrow was thwarted and destroyed before the Xuan Magnetic Array.

As Viner watched the arrows being crushed to pieces due to their inability to withstand the two forces, he immediately estimated the repulsive force of the Xuan Magnetic Array.

"If it were the Demon-Slaying Arrow, it could break through this Mystic Magnetic Array."

"If Mr. Venere is willing to reimburse me for so many anti-magic arrows, I'm happy to go through the trouble," Chlorie said helplessly.

The key to the Xuan Magnetic Array lies in the shield, not in the person.

Even if Chlorie's attacks can penetrate the magnetic array and kill the enemy, the opponent will soon have someone else to take their place.

"Then let's forget about it." Viner decisively gave up.

Seeing that the enemy had no way to deal with the Xuan Magnetic Array and even dared not leave the formation because of it, the royal army immediately burst into laughter.

They even started using bows and arrows to mock these cowards.

Unlike the arrows fired by the feudal lords' armies, the arrows fired by the kingdom's army became even more powerful after passing through the Xuan Magnetic Array, instantly preventing the people behind the cover from raising their heads.

Even so, the feudal lords showed no intention of opening their gates to the enemy.

"Your Highness, they are still staying indoors," Sylvan reported.

He didn't find the actions of the feudal lords ridiculous. On the contrary, the fact that the enemy could quickly see through the power of the Xuan Magnetic Array even though it had only been used once indicated that there were capable people on Kurori's side.

"Then switch to rockets," Dimir gave a cold order.

As soon as the order was given, the kingdom's army quickly changed their arrows from ordinary arrowheads to fire arrows soaked in flammable materials and oil.

The fire arrows pierced the air and struck the camp precisely, sending thick smoke billowing up.

This specially made kerosene is not only extremely difficult to extinguish, but the thick smoke it emits when burning is also highly toxic and irritating, causing difficulty breathing and stinging eyes.

Just as the defending soldiers were about to bury it with yellow sand, another batch of arrows fell from the sky.

The alternating fire of rockets and ordinary arrows left them in a dilemma: whether to hide behind cover or not.

Just when the crisis was lurking, Jessica stepped forward.

Holding the Hyōrinmaru sword, she felt a chill emanating from its blade, transforming into wisps of frosty mist that enveloped the surroundings.

With each swing of the sword, a chilling cold swept over the burning flames like a tidal wave, instantly freezing them into black ice.

Lisette waved her staff and whispered a spell. A gentle breeze rose up and dispersed the thick smoke, giving everyone a moment to breathe.

"Please be patient, everyone!"

"Three hundred meters...two hundred meters..."

Kurori stood on the command platform, her eyes fixed intently on the enemy's movements, estimating the distance from which they would launch their charge.

"Vina!"

Before Chlorie's cries had even faded, the battlefield situation suddenly changed.

The kingdom's cavalry, who had already entered the charging range, put away their bows and arrows, crossed the Xuan Magnetic Array, and began their full-scale charge.

The soldiers at the forefront brandished stone chains and threw them out at the last moment. With a deafening crash, the broken fence collapsed, revealing the fully armed vassal army behind the main camp.

There were no longer any obstacles between the two armies.

"boom!"

A deafening roar ripped through the sky.

Wiener drew his Flame Blade Gun, fired a shot into the air, and a blazing flame shot straight into the sky.

Anna, who was waiting several kilometers away, saw the signal and summoned the Stormbringer without hesitation.

A giant puppet, tens of meters tall, appeared out of nowhere, instantly drawing the attention of the entire battlefield.

"what is that?!"

Sylvain's question echoed the sentiments of most people.

The once noisy battlefield fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the enormous thing that had suddenly appeared.

The Stormbringer's figure stood like a mountain between heaven and earth, the huge Shudrom Bow in his hand exuding a chilling aura, the arrow tip pointing directly at the kingdom's army formation.

The thirty-six strong men who formed the Xuanci Array clearly sensed the threat. They quickly huddled together, shoulder to shoulder and shield to shield, forming a six-layer human wall.

Even though their teamwork remained flawless, a hint of unease crept into their eyes.

"Vina went to great lengths to ask me for this favor, I can't mess it up."

Anna held her breath and poured all the magic energy in her body into the core of the Stormbringer without reservation.

The wind element gathered wildly, condensing into a dazzling arrow of light on the arrow of the Shudrom Bow. Its power was so great that it caused a slight distortion in the surrounding space.

"Whoosh!"

The light arrow shot out from the bowstring at such a speed that its trajectory was almost invisible.

Under immense pressure, the shield bearers could no longer wait. The Xuan Magnetic Array was activated without reservation. The magnetic fields released by the thirty-six purple shields overlapped and finally condensed into a solid light shield to block the light arrow.

Just when everyone thought that the collision of these two forces would surely cause a tremendous commotion, and some people had even started covering their ears, the result was beyond their expectations.

The light arrow passed through the light shield without any hindrance.

"Snapped!"

The light arrow that passed through the Xuan Magnetic Array emitted a crisp, explosive sound.

It shattered into countless tiny wind blades, turning the first Xuan Magnetic Shield Soldiers into bloodied figures.

Countless wind blades overlapped, creating a violent tornado.

The hurricane, like a runaway beast, swept the entire Xuan Magnetic Array, along with the surrounding cavalry, into the sky.

Screams and neighing filled the air as knights and their horses tumbled and struggled through the air, utterly powerless against this immense force.

The hurricane that had destroyed the vanguard did not dissipate; instead, it continued to advance, heading straight for the central army where Dimirli was located.

Seeing the critical situation, several knights drew weapons emanating an ominous aura from behind them and unleashed attacks that drained their life force, barely managing to disperse the hurricane.

Even so, the sudden collapse of the vanguard had thrown the once orderly army into chaos.

No one knows whether the Stormbringer will fire another arrow.

"Charge the entire army!"

Chlorie seized the opportunity presented by the Kingdom's army's declining morale and decisively gave the order.

The allied forces pressed forward together, launching a fierce counterattack against the routed enemy.

Within minutes, the battlefield situation had been reversed.

Chapter 669: Capture the thief first and capture the king first

Anna's all-out arrow not only shattered the magnetic array but also dragged nearly a third of the kingdom's vanguard into it.

The knights, torn apart and tossed into the sky by the gale, let out shrill screams. Even the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape being caught in the blast were plunged into deep panic upon witnessing this horrific attack.

These casualties are not enough to cripple the army as a whole, but the plummeting morale is as difficult to boost as a kite with a broken string.

Seeing the routs charging towards his own lines, Sylvan realized that forcing a battle under such circumstances would only result in greater losses. He quickly advised, "Your Highness, Chlorie and the others have clearly planned this. Please retreat for now, gather your remaining troops, and then seek another opportunity to fight."

But Dimily ignored his suggestion.

"Fighter jets? The enemy has mobilized their entire army, including Chlorie. What better fighter jets could there be?"

Dimily sneered and pointed his spear at the feudal lords' army that was charging through the chaos of battle. "Since they dare to come out and fight, let them all stay here! Command is in your hands now."

Before he finished speaking, he had already spurred his horse forward and charged alone into the chaotic battlefield.

"Your Highness!"

Sylvan watched Dimirli's departing figure, his heart filled with helplessness.

He knew his lord's personality well; he was used to using his personal bravery to create local breakthroughs for the army. But how could there be no capable people in Chlorie's army?

Take Jessica, who was previously defeated by Dimirli, for example. If they were to fight again, it would be hard to say who would win.

Although Dimily had handed over command to him, how could Sylvan abandon His Highness if he insisted on taking the risk?

"Dudu! Go and protect His Highness!" Hilfan gave the order decisively.

"Then what will you do?" Du Du hesitated for a moment.

As Dimir's personal bodyguard, he was supposed to stay by his lord's side at all times, but Dimir forcibly ordered him to prioritize ensuring Sylvan's safety.

“If something happens to His Highness, this army will be completely finished.” Sylvan’s tone was filled with unwavering determination.

"...I understand, please be careful."

After saying this, Dudu led the remaining personal guards in pursuit of Emperor Mili.

The situation on the battlefield had changed, and the morale of the royal army was greatly boosted by Dimir's leading by example.

He wielded his spear like a whirlwind, sweeping across the enemy lines and tearing a gap in their defenses.

After gathering some of the defeated soldiers, Dimiri charged straight at Chlorie, intending to eliminate her in one fell swoop.

However, having been warned by Venus to be wary of Dimir's Death Thorn Spear, Chlorie naturally wouldn't be careless. She constantly used her army to maneuver around Dimir, never giving him a chance to get close.

Meanwhile, Sylvan was busy directing operations from the rear.

He kept issuing reinforcement orders to fill gaps in the lines and reorganize the scattered soldiers to prevent them from disrupting the formation.

Now that he no longer needed to consult Dimirli on everything, his command became more decisive and efficient, and the situation tilted in favor of the Kingdom's army.

"As long as His Highness doesn't fall, we can win!" Sylvan encouraged himself silently.

However, who doesn't understand the principle of "capture the king first"?

Just as Sylvan was focused on directing his troops, a chill suddenly came from behind him.

He turned around abruptly and saw Jessica's figure already standing beside him, the Hyōrinmaru in her hand radiating a bone-chilling cold, as if even the air itself was frozen.

“I’m sorry,” Jessica said coldly, her hands moving without the slightest hesitation.

Because they were the same kind of people, she understood better than anyone else that Dimir's reckless act could not determine the outcome of the entire battle.
