YM778.TV Chapter 419 - Second Offensive II
[ The Strugglers Elimination Mission was successfully completed. All the five Conqueror Starships were destroyed by the Chronos that were sent out. ]
"How\'s the casualty, Avalon?" Ace asked after hearing the good news.
He was impressed by Hilda and the others who completed the task but there were definitely casualties in this.
[ Only two Chronos with 30 Magicians have survived in the battle. All the Mech Knights were destroyed. ]
"This… That\'s too many… Did they force themselves? Ugh… Give me the list of those 30 magicians…"
There should be about a hundred Magicians in total in that operation.
With such a low rate of survivors, it can still be considered a failure on their end.
Ace clenched his fist after noticing that Ferdie, Ray, and even Lewis Vermont were not on the list of survivors…
He made a calculation with Avalon and made sure that even if they couldn\'t accomplish the task, they would have enough power to retreat into safety. He didn\'t want to sacrifice their lives to kill those thousands of Imperial Soldiers and Mech Frames!
They also possess Magic Nodes and various Artifacts that could help them survive and escape even if their battleship was destroyed!
"What happened? Give me the full details."
[ Yes. I suggest you watch the battle instead. It only lasted for about 10 minutes. ]
Avalon suggested.
\'Only ten minutes? Isn\'t that too fast?\'
Considering that they\'ll be facing 5 gigantic Conqueror Starships, he wouldn\'t be surprised if the battle lasted for a week!
"Very well… Let me see what happened."
Ace then decided to watch the battle and easily noticed that the imperial army seems to have prepared themselves to be ambushed and attacked recklessly without caring for their safety!
They wouldn\'t even hesitate to use their Mech Frame\'s self-destruction to kill their magicians and destroy their Mech Knight\'s pilots!
It was such a crazy battle! Although the imperial army suffered heavily from their surprise Magic Attacks, they didn\'t lose their morale and fight like robots.
It was no wonder that the battle didn\'t even last for an hour.
The magicians couldn\'t retreat after engaging in battle as the army had no intention of retreating even after suffering casualties in their initial attack.
It was such a disastrous event for the mages…
At the moment, he can only imagine the current feelings of the young magicians that were in that battle. The Alien Invasion game may not be enough to help them condition their mind with the deaths of their comrades. It will still certainly create psychological trauma for them.
However, this is the truth about this war. They have an option to let the aliens conquer this world and pray for their safety or they could fight with his help and stop the aliens from doing whatever they wanted for the sake of this planet\'s future.
Right now, the remaining survivors were being led by Hilda as they were about to return to the Moon Base… They deserve to have a long rest after this fight.
\'Perhaps, it\'s better not to let them join in any more wars.\' Ace thought after considering the battles that they were put into.
He\'s planning to let the remaining magicians stay here until the war on Earth is over.
"Avalon… It\'s time for me to return."
[ Affirmative. ] The A.I. replied and quickly readied the spaceship that Ace would have to use to descend on Earth.
***
As soon as the Mage Battalion led by Troy saw the signal to start the Second Offensive, the multiple mobile elemental turrets and all their long-range mana spell activated…
His mage battalion composed of thousands of magicians revealed their presence and removed their cloaking skills that hide their presence…
Though they were detected by the Alien\'s sensors after showing up, their spells and turrets were already thrown and bombarded the mining site destroying hundreds of workers androids, and imperial soldiers around…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions occurred as they cleaned up the ground forces of the aliens around…
"Charge!" Troy gave his command.
He noticed that the Mech Frames and Marauder Gears of the aliens have started showing up…
They were about 500 meters away from the landing site of Alien Spaceships so it wouldn\'t be long before more reinforcements would come. They have to eliminate the forces in this mining site as quickly as possible.
Thirty Airships from Zairus appeared from the sky and started firing at the Mech Frames…
"Scatter!"
Grand Arcanist Hallgrim, the one commanding the 30 Airships, noticed that 10 Mech Frames were about to fire their Subspace Blaster…
These Dragon\'s Warrior Mechs were too troublesome to deal with…
Whom~
The Subspace Blaster cleared the sky… However, the force behind those cannons was still too powerful and broke their formation. The nearby airships that were near the line of fire even have their machines malfunction!
They would have to do an emergency landing at this rate!
"Attack them now!"
Hallgrim shouted… There Mech Frames were not invincible… Firing an extremely powerful Subspace Blaster would still overheat their Mechs…
They have to take this opportunity and destroy them.
As expected, the remaining Lucent Knights and Iron Knights of the Sky Raven Manor launch a combined assault on the group of Dragon\'s Mech…
Boom! Boom!
They are carrying Mana Bomb Launchers and decided to use them against the Mech Frames…
Unfortunately, it wasn\'t successful… They just saw a moonlight aura emanating from various Mech Frames before their Mana Bomb Launchers were made useless…
"Retreat… That\'s the Serpent Mech\'s Twilight Armor Tech. You have to proceed with the plan… Just trap them here until the reinforcements from the Invader Spaceships arrives…" Hallgrim said after noticing that not only the Dragon Mechs were here but the Serpent Mechs and Wolf Mechs have also arrived.
"Affirmative!" The leader of the small Knight Division replied.
If the Wolf Mechs joined in the fight with their Psionic Pulse Technology, they would have an extremely tough battle here and they could easily lose the whole fight in a single exchange.
Unless they get help from Wallace\'s Lotus Mechs with their Radiant Wave Technology, they couldn\'t fight them directly.
