Seeing the three metal battleships slowing down, Balk's originally beating heart became much calmer. He picked up the telescope and stared at each other. But the three metal battleships could no longer

There was no reaction, he just slowed down, and it seemed as if he had reached the end. But for some reason, looking at the other party being so calm, Balk became nervous... and almost at the same time, suddenly, in

In Balk's ears, the frightened shouts of his subordinates came.

"Report to captain, there is a strong spatial fluctuation reaction behind our formation!!"

"What?"

Balk was shocked when he heard this. He turned around quickly, raised his telescope and looked behind him.

Immediately afterwards, Balk saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Behind them, in the originally blue sky, there were shining stars. And the next moment, these light spots turned into rotating whirlpools of light. In Balk's blink of an eye,

More than a dozen huge metal battleships flew out of the whirlpool and appeared in front of them!!

Is this... a space jump?

"All battleships, move forward at full speed immediately!!"

At this moment, Balk felt that the hairs on his back were about to stand up. Their formation was originally a frontal defense, but after being penetrated by three metal warships, Balk ordered his fleet to surround them.

The left and right sides were separated, and then reversed and surrounded. But in this way, their original front became the back, and what Balk did not expect was that there was actually a metal battleship hidden in their original "front"

!

In fact, this is exactly the formation characteristic of the reconnaissance fleet. On the surface, they are a T-shaped formation, but in fact it is a cross-shaped formation. However, the Messenger hanging at the end never participates in any battles.

It just maintained the stealth mode and waited until the best moment to activate the induction field to guide the main fleet to the scene. In fact, the round of air strikes by the reconnaissance fleet just now was just a cover for the Messenger to deploy the probe, and

Now, with the probe deployed and the surrounding situation thoroughly understood, Academy City's fleet is finally about to launch a full-scale attack.

So, let's get started.

Looking at the fleet in front of him, Hank took a breath, then stretched out his hand and waved forward vigorously.

"Target, enemy ship ahead, fire freely!"

"Enemy ships ahead, fire freely, repeat, fire freely!"

Countless beams of light erupted completely at this moment. They pierced the sky and roared towards the unsuspecting First Fleet of the Empire. Although at this moment the First Fleet had begun to obey Captain Balk's instructions and began to speed up, but after all, this was

It will take some time, and unfortunately, even if they increase their speed to the fastest, it is still far less than the speed of the magic cannon bombardment.

In just the blink of an eye, the rear of the First Fleet was hit hard. Although the protective shield was activated in time, several battleships were still seriously injured. Burning flames emerged from them. From a distance, it looked like...

A sea of ​​burning flames.

"How can they have so many battleships! This is impossible!"

At this moment, Balk and Christopher both shouted the same words. According to intelligence, the number of the other party was much smaller than theirs, but judging from the number of battleships, the two sides were almost the same. And this

This means that the opponent's manpower to operate a battleship must be reduced by more than half compared to our own, but - how is this possible?

Although he could not accept this reality in any case, it was useless to continue to think about this problem now. Balck immediately ordered all fleets to move forward at full speed immediately. He did not foolishly ask the fleet to turn around and counterattack again. The opponent was coming menacingly, and the battleships turned

It is also the time when they are most likely to be targeted, so their only way at the moment is to speed up and escape from the battlefield immediately, and then let the task force that was already in a head-on formation to meet the enemy go up first, and then the first fleet is behind him

Regroup and arrange. This is a very orthodox tactical concept, and it is also the only thing Balk can do at present.

However, this does not mean that everyone is willing to obey his orders.

"You want us to escape?!!"

After hearing the order, the captain of the "Golden Lion" immediately shouted angrily.

"Balk is such an old fool! The other party is just a group of low-level low-level mages and apprentices! And we are noble high-level mages. Are we required to run away with our tails between our legs in front of these mage apprentices? Open

What a joke!! I will never obey such an order. The whole ship obeyed the order and immediately turned around to beat these lowly apprentices back to the sewer where they belong!! Activate the elemental shield! All guns opened fire, for the sake of the Sorcerous Empire

,Long live the empire!!Long live the mage!!!”

With the captain's roar, the "Golden Lion" began to turn slowly, and the elemental shield activated with the support of the high-level scroll immediately absorbed a certain degree of explosion damage. But unfortunately, its reaction caused

Hank's attention was drawn to this, and Hank only said one sentence.

"Concentrated attack."

The next moment, hundreds of continuous magical beams shot toward the turning "Golden Lion" in an instant. Although protected by an elemental shield, the "Golden Lion" absorbed a large amount of damage.

, but the shield also has its limits. After absorbing a bombardment that was enough to move a city to the ground, the elemental shield finally reached the limit and disappeared completely, and then the "Golden Lion" turned into a colorful object amid the gunfire.

The fireworks disappeared without a trace.

"The Golden Lion was destroyed!"

Upon hearing the news, Balk couldn't help but curse in his heart. He originally hoped to retain as much combat power as possible. Even if it was seriously damaged, as long as the battleship was still there, it could still be repaired with the power of magic. Moreover,

They also have the ace "Time Rewind" scroll at the bottom of the box. This highest-level scroll that can restore a certain object to a certain stage is the best helper that can repair the battleship in an instant. But now, he has to

Facing the dilemma of losing his own warship, Balke was so angry that he could hardly speak.

Fortunately, the Golden Lion's own initiative was able to attract more than half of the enemy's firepower, so the remaining battleships took the opportunity to escape. Although some battleships were seriously damaged and could only sail at minimum power,

As long as you are alive, there is still hope. Once it is destroyed, it is truly over.

Now Balke no longer cares whether it is cost-effective to trade one battleship for the survival of other battleships. He just hopes to escape the enemy's firepower as much as possible and then regroup - but unfortunately, God will not follow suit.

Ren Yuan, at this moment, a series of firelights suddenly flashed in front of him.

What is that?

The moment he saw the fire, Balk couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted.

By the way, aren't there three warships in front of their fleet?

Balk's guess was correct. The reconnaissance fleet led by Dorrent had not moved before. They just slowed down and looked like they were blocked. But in fact, they were already ready for battle at that time. As the main force

The moment the fleet appeared on the battlefield, they immediately shot back, turned the head of the gun and killed them back from where they passed. The imperial warships, which were only concerned with avoiding the main fleet behind them, completely ignored these three ships.

The battleships were immediately killed by them. However, I don’t know whether it was lucky or unfortunate. In order to resist the attack of the main fleet, all the imperial battleships deployed magic shields. After all, the firepower of the reconnaissance fleet was still limited, so although they caused

Although it suffered a certain amount of damage, it did not deal a fatal blow to the imperial fleet. However, if this continues, the situation will be equally bad.

But at this moment, Balk also made an immediate decision.

"Activate Firestorm!!"

The air started to get hot.

Through the portholes, Dorrent was keenly aware of this. The air became hot and bright red, and even the temperature inside the battleship was rising rapidly. The alarms that sounded from time to time and the flashing red light proved the high concentration of magic elements.

It's condensing, this is...

"The opponent is using the legendary magic scroll, escape at full speed!"

Following Dorrent's order, the reconnaissance fleet immediately left the battlefield as quickly as possible and flew towards where the main fleet was. And not long after they left, a towering flame storm roared out,

Like a giant dragon sweeping across the world, it spread the burning flames and turned into a stormy tide, blocking Hank's face. At this moment, the remaining Empire's first fleet and task force had already used this

Under the cover of legendary magic, he quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

"To be honest, I don't like those condescending old guys, but I have to admit that legendary magic is indeed quite useful sometimes."

Looking at the legendary spell in front of him, Hank did not show any displeasure. He had no intention of deciding the outcome of this battle. In fact, this was just a tentative attack by Academy City against the Sorcerer Empire's fleet.

, being able to force the other party to use a legendary scroll to protect themselves, in Hank's opinion, is just like Miss Patilina said that the opening is empty to show friendship, it is an excellent profit.

So next...

"Let's start the second round."
Chapter completed!
