For wizards who can sense and influence electric and magnetic fields to a certain extent, it is not difficult to do this with magic. At least simply sending a signal is no problem.

Taking into account that the electromagnetic waves created by the wizards' current strength have a limited propagation distance after attenuation, Lin En used one hundred airships patrolling various places to build a temporary signal base station covering half of the kingdom.

There is a wizard who is proficient in thunder magic on each airship. After receiving the weak electromagnetic wave signal, they will send it again and convey the message to the entire kingdom in a short time through relay.

Although Lynn has a simpler communication method, which is to connect with those wizards whose mental powers have been cracked through the magic network, this is still a secret for the time being. He has only demonstrated similar abilities in front of Anthony and Redel.

After all, no wizard would like others to be able to easily enter his brain. Without absolute strength to suppress others, exposing this is tantamount to seeking death.

"According to the signals we have received in the past few days, the other two legions have made smooth progress in recovering the kingdom's territory and have not encountered any strong obstacles. Speaker Harov has now entered the territory of the empire and should be capturing Mist Territory!"

Mist Territory is located in the west of the empire and is a border territory bordering the kingdom. Vittorio had previously discovered a lot of useful information from the minds of the captured priests, such as that this place is the source of oil.

This major counterattack also requires the capture of one of the two important territories!

"I hope everything goes well..."

Lynn nodded, but still felt something was wrong.

Now, more than two months have passed since the end of the Royal Capital War, and the Empire and the Church are so quiet that the airships they sent to investigate found no signs of the entry of the army.

This anomaly made Lynn somewhat uneasy.

"In my opinion, the Holy City is probably in chaos now. They will definitely not be able to take care of the kingdom's affairs in the short term." Raphael said optimistically.

The punitive army sent by the Holy See had just suffered two disastrous defeats, and it was not easy to regroup.

As Raphael was thinking, the electromagnetic wave signal receiving device in his arms suddenly lit up.

"It seems that Speaker Harof has already captured Mist County." Raphael said as he placed the receiving device on the table.

Lin En also looked over. The research on the magical application of electromagnetic wave technology was still in its early stages. Although the wizards who controlled thunder magic had learned how to send signals, they still needed to rely on this special receiving device to detect the subtle electromagnetic fluctuations.

The ticking sounds continued to echo in the room.

Raphael took a Morse code combination and began to translate.

This first generation of electromagnetic wave receiver had very simple functions and would only make two ticking sounds after receiving electromagnetic waves of two different frequencies.

When Lin En took out this thing, Raphael was extremely disappointed. This was indeed an effective long-distance communication method, but the information that could be conveyed was really limited.

They can only use ticks to represent victory and taps to represent defeat, giving them a rough idea of ​​the battle situation.

However, the imagination of this magic star is obviously beyond their reach. Through different arrangements of long and short sounds, he can derive almost countless combinations and send out whatever he wants to say.

Because the information is encrypted, only people with the code book can decipher it!

The only problem is that it is difficult to translate.

"Mist Territory, great defeat..." Raphael read slowly according to the information given in the code book.

Has the enemy been defeated? Raphael thought so, but soon he found that the combination of words in the last signal seemed to be...

"Rescue!" Lin En immediately stood up from his seat with a solemn expression on his face. He translated the whole sentence faster than Raphael without looking at the translation. "We suffered a great defeat in Mist Territory. We need rescue, immediately!"

Raphael just felt his brain confused for a moment. As he had mastered the code book, he knew that there was no mistake in Lin En's translation!

But how is this possible?

Raphael's face was full of astonishment and confusion. Although the three legions that recovered the kingdom's territory only had about 10,000 people, they had an absolute technical advantage! To be on the safe side, the three chairmen had already set out with the army.

However, in order to create the illusion that the Speakers were still staying in the capital and confuse the enemy, they did not appear in public.

Now, the interior of the royal capital, which seemed to be heavily guarded, was actually quite empty.

"Could it be that there is a legendary priest stationed in Mist Territory?" Raphael was puzzled and finally only thought of this possibility.

Only the divine intervention could defeat the 10,000-man army equipped with new muskets and armored vehicles, and make Speaker Harof use the word "great defeat" in his communication.

Lin En frowned slightly. He didn't think so, because they had discussed similar situations before. No matter which legion it was in this major counterattack, once it was confirmed that the enemy had a legendary clergyman, they would abandon the plan of attack and hold on for help or even retreat.

There is a price to pay for releasing the divine descent technique, and there is no reason for the opponent to use it rashly without risking his life.

The Church is not profitable in exchanging one for one high-end combat power! And the moment he encountered the legendary clergy, Harov should have sent a signal immediately, instead of waiting until he was defeated to ask for help.

Lin En judged that the situation must have been reversed in an instant for such a situation to occur! The most important thing was that the message sent did not mention the words "God's descent" at all!

"There is also a second possibility, that is, the Empire's punitive army suddenly appeared in Mist Territory, and it is even possible that they launched a surprise attack..." Aurora's figure emerged from the side and stated the most likely scenario.

This means that the Empire's army evaded the detection of the airship and arrived right under their noses without their knowledge.

This is not impossible!

Perhaps the airship they sent out for reconnaissance was silently removed by some powerful magic, or perhaps it was some kind of large-scale invisibility magic that could make an entire army disappear from sight and march behind them in broad daylight...
