As the mountain-like force crashed down, not only Cocotte's knees buckled under the pressure.
Many patrolling soldiers in Kushistan also knelt down on one knee under this incredibly terrifying pressure.
They felt the terrifying force weighing on their shoulders, their bodies trembled, sweat poured from their foreheads, and they had difficulty breathing.
At that moment, all sounds in Kushistan came to an abrupt halt.
The air became heavy and solidified, and all sounds were suppressed under this invisible pressure, sinking into the earth.
Inside the front-line tent, only Rivi and Vladimir remained.
As for Hera, she left the tent shortly after Victor did.
As Rivi and Vladimir watched her lonely figure disappear into the distance, they sensed a deep sense of isolation in each other.
Although Vladimir didn't particularly admire those profit-driven adventurers, he still hoped that Hera could recover from the grief of losing her mate.
What's that saying again? There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Although adventurers pursue profit, their abilities should not be underestimated.
To a certain extent, it can indeed relieve a lot of their pressure.
Therefore, Vladimir did not want such a powerful adventurer as Hera to wallow in sorrow.
At this time, Vladimir and Rivi, two old friends, were considering how to make progress on the southern border.
After all, Victor's arrival was like that of Superman, solving their problem that had lasted for ten years in one fell swoop.
And he only took one day.
The surprise came so quickly that it completely threw their plans for the southern border into disarray.
This can be considered a happy kind of trouble.
But with Viktor about to leave, they certainly need to consider more practical issues.
Viktor did solve most of the problems, but the recapture of the South ultimately required Vladimir's personal attention.
As an old friend, Rivi was naturally willing to lend a helping hand.
However, just as the two were having a heated discussion, suddenly, a heavy and terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
Buzz!
Before Vladimir and Rivi could react, they both felt the terrifying magic.
The space in front of them began to distort slightly, and the table next to them snapped with a "crack" as its legs broke cleanly.
Faced with this magic, Vladimir grimaced and stubbornly refused to kneel down.
"Hiss, this magic..."
This extremely oppressive magic is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess.
If we were to compare Viktor's magic to a vast, deep ocean...
This terrifying, cascading magical power was undoubtedly a mountain of immense weight.
The moment it appeared here, it stirred a strong sense of submission in everyone's hearts.
As Levi sensed this familiar yet powerful magic, his expression changed slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Vladimir immediately understood.
Aside from Victor, only the Queen can wield such terrifying magic nowadays.
However, the nature of their magic is slightly different.
Victor can unleash a massive and powerful amount of magic at once.
That's why he was able to unleash such earth-shattering, large-scale explosive magic in an instant, with power enough to sweep away thousands of troops.
However, the Queen cannot unleash the same massive amounts of magic as Victor.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that no one but Viktor could do that.
Of course, the Queen's talent was also quite extraordinary.
Her advantage lies in her ability to consistently give her all, like an unyielding mountain, demonstrating an unparalleled ability to sustain a prolonged battle.
The Queen has already demonstrated this ability.
This constant pressure loomed over everyone's heads, like the majesty of a mountain range, heavy and unshakable.
The enduring power of this magic convinced everyone that, apart from Her Majesty the Empress, no one else in the empire could match it.
Vladimir frowned in deep thought, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Why has Her Majesty the Empress come?"
"Is it because I did a poor job that she wants to recall me personally?"
For the belligerent Vladimir, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.
After all, he's the kind of person who can't sit still.
For him, being unable to participate in the battle was worse than death.
But soon, Reeves calmly retorted:
"If it were truly a recall, Her Majesty the Queen would not need to come and tell you in person."
Upon hearing this, Vladimir felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
Their eyes met, and almost simultaneously they realized the true reason why Her Majesty the Queen had come here in person—
Victor.
The upheaval in the south, where a million demons were wiped out overnight, could not possibly have been kept from the Empress.
And she must have found out immediately.
But they did not expect that Her Majesty the Queen would not only receive the news so quickly, but also come in person, and so fast.
This made Rivlin and Vladimir begin to understand why Viktor had been so eager to conceal his identity and flee.
From last night to today, the news had just spread, and unexpectedly, in less than a day, Her Majesty the Queen had already personally arrived at the front line.
This news may not be accurate yet, after all, the "legendary mage in a trench coat" is still just a guess.
Whether he is Viktor or not, his identity has not yet been confirmed.
Such an uncertain piece of news was enough to draw the Empress, who was far away in the capital, to come in person.
It suggests that even if Victor escapes to the ends of the earth, the Queen will bring him back.
