In the current situation, they might not be able to wait for support. The best solution is to leave some elite troops to cover their retreat, otherwise all of them will die here.
"No, I'm afraid you alone are not enough to stop them." Harov said solemnly.
The imperial army that suddenly appeared behind them had as many as 50,000 to 60,000 people, and there must be legendary priests among them, perhaps more than one. He did not squander magic power recklessly in order to guard against the enemy.
With the strength of Sanchez and others, I'm afraid it's not enough to stop the other party at all. Now the only one who can cut them off is me! Just as Haro was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"You guys retreat first, I'll stop them!"
Harov and others immediately turned their heads and looked over, and an unexpected figure appeared in front of them - according to the intelligence, Lin En, who should have been in the Steel City, actually appeared here.
"Master Lin En?" Sanchez was quite surprised and said quickly. "Great, you guys are here really fast! Where are Speaker Aurora and Lord Vittorio? Have they arrived too?"
If the reinforcements arrive and the chairmen unite, they can launch a fierce counterattack! Harof saw at a glance that Lin En was not really here, it should be a projection magic similar to Aurora's.
Just as he expected, Lin En quickly explained. "No, the reinforcements haven't arrived yet. It will take the two Speakers two to three hours at the earliest to get here. If they need to wait for the reinforcements from the other two legions, it will be even later."
Although they have airships to transport troops, large-scale troop mobilization is not an easy task.
"How much strength can you exert in your current state?" Harof could not help but interrupt.
He acknowledged Lin En's strength, but after all, he was just a fourth-ring wizard. If he was present in person and used the forbidden technique to temporarily increase his strength when he fought against [Ella], he might be able to do this, but now there was only a magic incarnation.
Could it be that he was carrying the raw materials for performing nuclear explosion magic? Thinking of this possibility, Harov raised a glimmer of hope, but it was broken the next moment.
"In fact, this incarnation can only release a fourth-ring magic once at full power, that's all!" Lin En said truthfully, and then before a few people questioned him, he said decisively. "But I think it should be enough!"
Seeing that the magic star was so confident, even though Harof had a lot of questions, he did not rush to refute him. Instead, he asked Lin En directly what his plan was.
"Anyway, I need some of your help... to separate the enemy and us to avoid accidental injuries." Lin En said very quickly, then looked at the chaotic battlefield and sighed. "It seems that we can only give up some people!"
Under orderly command, the scattered wizards quickly gathered together and organized the largest-scale counterattack. Everyone no longer reserved their magic power!
Harof took the lead and injected a huge amount of magic power into the ground. The next moment, the entire battlefield began to crack rapidly. A hole was torn in the ground, and large pieces of soil and rocks continued to crack, forming a deep gully. Not only that, the cracks were also spreading rapidly to both sides.
Looking from above, one could see that the entire battlefield was torn in half by the collapsing earth.
Changing the terrain and topography with one's own strength and dominating the situation on the entire battlefield, this is the power of 'legendary' magic!
Immediately afterwards, Sanchez and others also cast spells one after another. Various spells followed one after another. The power of ice, fire and thunder intertwined together and smashed into the enemy formation with great momentum.
"By the will of the Lord, evil will be driven away!"
At the same time, a huge and sacred voice resounded on the battlefield, and an invisible curtain appeared in the air, blocking the magic rain. Although it was quickly blown up by hundreds of magic spells, it also greatly reduced casualties.
Harof understood that it was the legendary clergy of the Holy See who took action, but their goal had been achieved and the entire battlefield was temporarily divided.
The charging cavalry slowed down their pace, and a few giants with not very smart brains fell directly in, saw stars, and were unable to climb out for a long time.
"Use another round of magic bombardment, and then retreat! From now on, we can only rely on Master Lin En..." Harof sighed. He had done everything he could.
Sanchez hesitated to speak, as he felt it was risky to pin all his hopes on Lynn's incarnation. However, he finally obeyed the order because there was no better way.
At this moment, Lin En, who used polarizing magic to conceal his body, was floating high in the sky. Magic power surged out like a wave, spreading within a few hundred meters around him.
If it were any other day, such an obvious fluctuation of magic would definitely arouse the opponent's vigilance, but Lin En was not too worried, because now the battlefield was full of traces of magic. He deliberately asked Harof and others to cast spells and counterattack with all their strength, not only to divide the battlefield, but also to provide cover.
"The weather is really nice today!" Lin En looked up at the sky, where a red sun was shining brightly.
August is the hottest time of the year in the empire, and the midday sun will add a lot of color to his next magic! ...
"It looks like the battle is almost over!" Inside the Vatican's formation, Joshua looked at the magic rain rushing towards him and spoke slowly.
Although the opponent's counterattack was fierce, in Joshua's view it was just a fight of trapped beasts. After their magic power was exhausted, these people completely lost the ability to fight against them.
As for the huge rift that divided the battlefield, he didn't even need to take any action. Several cardinals worked together and used divine power to create a series of wide and passable high bridges.
Saint Lucia beside her was also watching this scene, but she vaguely sensed something was wrong because Harof and others were casting magic at such a cost. She then raised her head, looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and murmured.
"Did you notice? The sunlight seems to have dimmed!"
