"Devil, this is the devil's creation!"
Witnessing several of his colleagues being cut into pieces by the dense barrage of bullets, a prey knight was so frightened that he trembled and even peed his pants.
But this was just the beginning, because round objects began to fall from the sky.
As Ivana and the wizards watched, the white phosphorus bomb exploded in midair, igniting the air and turning it into brilliant fireworks that enveloped the battlefield! The remaining 3,000 knights were instantly engulfed in the sea of white phosphorus fire.
The high-temperature, highly corrosive, and highly toxic white phosphorus fire is just like what is rumored to exist in the abyss. It can devour all the hellfires. Once it is contaminated, it will burn through the armor like a maggot on the tarsal bone and burn the flesh and blood...
The entire battlefield soon turned into purgatory. The burning knights fell from their horses one after another, emitting painful and shrill howls. The ground was burned into scorched earth by the scorching temperature, and a strong and pungent smell continued to emerge.
"Retreat, retreat!" The leading archbishop shouted frantically. The witch hunting knights, who had already lost their courage, hurriedly controlled their horses and retreated desperately, trying to escape back to the dense forest.
But the fighter planes would not let them go so easily. They chased after them and fired all their machine gun ammunition. They even felt that it was not enough, so they made a low-altitude dive and used laser weapons to cut the fleeing witch hunters in half...
Lucas and others watched helplessly as the witch hunting knights rushed towards them like wolves and tigers, determined to destroy them all. After several rounds of attacks, they were quickly defeated and fell on the wasteland only seventy meters away from them.
"What a terrible weapon..." A plainly dressed wizard in the crowd whispered with trembling body.
Ivina, standing by, also understood why the Vatican's expeditionary force was defeated by these wizards.
Just as the two fighter planes continued to chase the remnants, dozens of airships slowly descended from the sky and were neatly arranged in the wilderness.
When these alchemical creations fell from the sky, everyone realized that they had underestimated the size of the airship. It was as tall as four or five stories high, even bigger than a house! Del led more than a hundred musketeers down from the airship. When he saw the dusty Lucas, he immediately opened his arms and greeted him, hugging him warmly.
"Well, are we here in time, old friend?"
"Of course, just in time, very just in time!" Lucas was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. If these airships had arrived half a minute later, they would have been crushed to pieces by these witch-hunting knights.
"What a pity! It would have been better if you could have come a day or two earlier." Lucas said with regret, and recounted the large-scale massacre that had occurred in the western part of the empire in recent days.
Hearing this, Del was extremely angry. If it weren't for the fact that he was short of manpower and had limited ammunition, he would have wanted to rush to the Holy City and blow up the statue of that false god.
"We will destroy the Church and the Empire sooner or later. This day will not be long in coming!" Del said viciously.
If someone had told them about the destruction of the Church and the Empire five minutes ago, Lucas would have thought it was just the fantasy of an ignorant person, but now a feeling of anticipation rose in his heart.
At Del's invitation, hundreds of wizards and their apprentices boarded the airship in batches.
As the secondary airbags were filled again, airships that were larger than houses carried the wizards into the sky.
"And these huge birds made of steel are much faster than the fastest Garde falcons."
"No, the Garde Falcon can't even compare to half of its wings!" Lucas said with emotion.
"The alchemical creation under our feet is called an aerospace airship, and that new fighter jet is the work of Master Lin!" Del said quite complacently.
"Is that the magic star?" Lucas paused.
He had had several contacts with Del who went to the Empire to gather information before, and he had some understanding of the situation of the Wizard Council, so he came up with the decision to form a Wizard Mutual Aid Association to escape to the kingdom together. Naturally, he had heard of this famous magic star.
"Not bad." Del nodded.
"With these powerful alchemical creations, it's no wonder that the Vatican's expeditionary army was defeated by you. Even Saint Lucia died on the battlefield." Lucas couldn't help but admire.
The rest of the wizards also looked at Del. They had also heard the news of the expeditionary army's defeat.
"You misunderstood." Del shook his head. "Although airships, fighter planes and other new weapons are powerful, they cannot completely defeat the expeditionary army led by two legendary divine magicians."
"In the first battle, we suffered a lot of casualties. It was only with the help of Master Lin En's extremely powerful magic that we were able to annihilate the Holy Maiden of the Church and tens of thousands of expeditionary forces!"
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering why the talk was getting more and more exaggerated... They couldn't imagine what kind of power could be able to slaughter an elite army of tens of thousands of people in one breath.
"As for the power of that magic, you will see it soon!" Del shrugged. He couldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes.
Lucas was confused, but half an hour later he understood everything in Del's words, because the airship had already flown over the nuclear explosion zone. Below was an extremely terrifying scene, with scorched earth everywhere! The land within a radius of dozens of kilometers was dissolved and solidified into glass blocks, and countless wreckage could be seen outside, including imperial soldiers whose bodies were evaporated alive by the high temperature, and "iron rivers" that were completely dissolved and cooled and solidified to form and stick to the land.
"Look, twenty days ago, there was still a mine there!" Del pointed in the direction of the center of the nuclear explosion area.
Lucas looked towards the center. There was no mine at the place the other party pointed to. There was only a huge pit, bottomless, as if it led to the abyss and hell...
"Is this also... magic?" Ivana said in a trembling voice.
The horrific scene before her exceeded her most terrifying imagination of magic. Even the most powerful spell Lord Gustav had ever cast was not even one thousandth of its power.
This is simply a punishment from heaven! (End of this chapter)
