For Hank, there is nothing to be disappointed in not being able to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. From the beginning of this duel, he had planned to make the opponent run. Just as Balk hoped to use the task force to make the academy

Just as there were fluctuations in the city, Hank also hoped to seize the initiative in the entire war through this duel. Now it seems that he has obviously achieved his goal. The First Fleet was seriously damaged, and he also lost valuable equipment.

Legendary magic scroll. It is foreseeable that the current imperial fleet will definitely shrink into a ball. In this way, Hank can freely explore the map.

"Order the reconnaissance fleet to release the probe, the defense fleet to deploy its formation, and turn on the exploration radar."

Although the enemy suffered heavy losses, Hank would not underestimate them because of this. The reason is very simple, that is, what they showed before was not the true strength of the Magic Empire Fleet. Originally, the Magic Fleet did not rely much on battleships.

They rely more on the high-level mages above to fight. Those high-level spells are to some extent more powerful than the gunfire of battleships. Therefore, the battleships of the Sorcerous Empire fleet are not actually excellent in terms of firepower. If not

If the magic power is suppressed, then the magic barrier cast by the task force during the previous battle and the subsequent fire storm can be regarded as the true strength of the Sorcerous Empire fleet...

But even so, they are definitely not opponents who can be underestimated.

The activation of high-level scrolls requires very strong mental power, which is also a part of becoming a high-level mage. A large part of the reason why Hank and the others are mage apprentices and low-level mages is that they do not have enough mental power.

In this way, even if the opponent's high-level magic scroll is captured, there is no way to use it. On the other hand, although the opponent's magic power has been suppressed, there is still no change in mental power. This means that as long as there are enough high-level magic scrolls,

, then the Sorcerous Empire fleet still has the possibility of turning defeat into victory. The reason why Hank did not choose to attack before was that when the opponent used Fire Storm, he was worried that if he pressed too hard, he might make the opponent jump over the wall, and then activate the legend on a large scale.

Magic Scroll. Although the battleships in Academy City have been treated to resist magic, when it reaches the stage of legendary magic, they can no longer compete with it - if it is the fleet directly under the lord, that's it, but they obviously haven't competed yet.

Legendary magical abilities.

"I don't know how many legendary magic scrolls there are in the empire..."

Through the screen, Hank contacted Dorent again.

"Probably there should be at least three or four. Anyway, the Sorcerous Empire will never be willing to fail. I think they will choose to use the scroll at the right time to change the situation of the battle."

"This is also a trouble..."

Hearing Dorrent's answer, Hank sighed lightly. The biggest threat to legendary magic is not the firepower, but the strange characteristics of magic. No one knows what kind of effects and functions a legendary magic scroll can have.

When he was a magic apprentice, Hank had also heard some rumors about legendary magic, which was basically a world-destroying existence. The Fire Storm used by the Magic Empire fleet was the same, with roaring flames raging.

Covering more than half of the mountain range, the magical fire released from the fire elemental world completely reduced everything in sight to ashes. If Hank hadn't made a decisive decision to retreat backwards, I don't know what would have happened.

If there are a few similar scrolls in the Magic Fleet... it would be really troublesome...

Looking at the screen in front of him, Hank couldn't help but fall into deep thinking.

At the same time, Balk's face was ashen.

Just now, the First Fleet, which had finally retreated to a safe area, immediately integrated itself. The result made Captain Balk extremely depressed. The First Fleet has lost nearly a quarter of its warships so far. Not only that, Task Force

The fleet also suffered losses. The opponent's fierce firepower, precise aiming, and speed were beyond Balke's expectations. Even nearly two-thirds of the other remaining warships were almost in a state that could be scrapped.

.

The battleship itself is just that. The problem is that combat attrition is the biggest headache for Balk. The damage to the battleship can be restored and repaired with the help of magic scrolls. However, the crew members and soldiers who died in the explosion cannot be replaced.

.This means that even after the battleships are repaired, they will not be able to play any role due to insufficient personnel. In desperation, Captain Balk had no choice but to order some people to abandon several severely damaged battleships with more than half of their combat personnel lost.

, all concentrated on other battleships, and then used magic scrolls to repair other damaged battleships - if there is no magic suppression, then they can directly use magic to repair, but now, if they cannot use high magic, the only thing they can rely on

Yes, there are only magic scrolls. And the magic scroll is a consumable item. Use one less than one. In order to maximize the effect of the magic scroll, Captain Balk has no choice but to do this.

It can't go on like this.

Looking at the busy battleships under the night, and hearing the wails and cries in the distance, Captain Balk also frowned. Although he finally used the legendary magic scroll to block the opponent's further offensive, but in the previous battle

Among them, Captain Balk has discovered that the other side's warships are far stronger than his own in terms of range and firepower. Otherwise, it would not have such tragic consequences. Although he felt a hundred in his heart

Eighty does not believe that these battleships were built by apprentices, but whether he believes it or not, the facts are already before his eyes.

It seems that next, there is only one choice they can make.

"Gather all our strength and strive to solve the problem in one battle!"

Looking at Christopher in front of him, Balk also gave his own answer.

"Currently, our warships are short of personnel, and the magic scrolls are consumables. One is less than one, so it is best for us to gather all our strength to defeat the enemy with one blow!"

"Well... the idea is good, but will the other party follow your ideas?"

After hearing Balk's story, Christopher thought for a moment and then asked his own questions.

"If we fight the opponent head-on, then the opponent can completely solve us outside the shooting range. I am sure that they will not take risks. In this case, it may be more difficult to lure them into taking the bait."

"So, we need a bait of sufficient weight."

Faced with Balk's words, Christopher was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted.

"Could it be that you plan to..."

"As you said, Christopher, we have no chance of winning in a frontal attack. But, if we attack in the front, will they turn a blind eye to it? Will they not intend to annihilate us, but turn around and run away?"

Speaking of this, Balk clenched his fists.

"I have decided to use the First Fleet as a bait to lure them into taking the bait. And when they are indulged in the joy of annihilating the First Fleet, I want your task force to give them the most fatal blow!!"

"But in this case, the First Fleet will also suffer heavy losses!!"

Although he had expected it, Christopher's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Balke's plan. But in response to his words, Balke shook his head firmly.

"On the battlefield, the winner is not king, but the leftover is king. As long as one of us can survive to the end, then the empire will be the winner on the battlefield!"

Having said this, Balk raised his head and looked at the flag fluttering in the wind on his battleship.
Chapter completed!
