Chapter 116

Under the pitch-black night.

The mages, suddenly raided, hurriedly picked up their staves.

And began to chant spells.

However...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Countless cannons roared.

They had no safe place to chant spells at all.

Various bizarre weapons were thrown at them.

If they were not careful, they would die at the hands of these "mortal soldiers."

These mortals seemed to have calculated the rhythm of interrupting their spellcasting...

The artillery in each area was a dense, rhythmic coverage.

Giving them no chance to fight back at all.

And so...

In this battle, the mage army collapsed.

By the time reinforcements arrived, over ten thousand mages had died!

To them.

This was no less than a great humiliation!

"We must take revenge. Forbidden spells, take out three forbidden spells! I want to make these damn mortals pay the price!"

"The great mages cannot be provoked!"

"But our forbidden spell casting requires a full day, and it must be absolutely safe..."

"These mortals only took advantage of a sneak attack. If we take the initiative to attack, they probably won't even have the strength to fight back..."

"..."

The mages were incredibly angry.

After the failure of this battle.

That same day.

They took the initiative to launch an attack on the Great Yan Army.

At the same time.

The front line attacked, while the mages in the rear were preparing to chant large-scale forbidden spells.

In their view.

If they had their staves and took the initiative to chant magic to attack...

They could not possibly lose to these mortals.

These mortals could only wail and scream under the divine might of the mages, collapsing and fleeing!

Sure enough.

When these mortals saw them attacking...

They actually didn't even have the courage to fight.

They fled directly!

"Hahahaha, chase them quickly! The great glory of the mages cannot be provoked by mortals!"

"I think we don't even need forbidden spells. Although these mortals are numerous, their combat power is really too weak!"

"Everyone, be ready to chant magic at any time to block their cannons. As long as we restrain their cannons, they won't have any power to fight back!"

"..."

The mage army chased frantically.

At the same time, defensive mages were ready to deal with artillery attacks at any time.

However...

After they had chased for a distance.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The roar of explosions sounded again.

They suddenly discovered...

That they, who had been standing on the ground, were flying into the sky one after another.

This explosion sound did not come from afar.

But from beneath their feet.

"It's over! There's a trap!!"

By the time they realized this.

Everything was already too late.

The area they were in exploded one after another.

One person after another was blown away, with no time to chant magic spells at all.

And on a hillside several miles away.

Xu Shi and Shen Xuanyi were looking at this scene through binoculars.

"These mages are too arrogant."

Xu Shi shook his head helplessly.

He had long calculated that after suffering a small loss, these mages would definitely not let it go.

Therefore, he had long buried a large number of landmines.

Pretending not to dare to fight.

Luring them to chase.

Who would have thought...

These mages were so straightforward.

Tens of thousands of them entered the landmine zone.

Shen Xuanyi put down his binoculars.

And smiled: "After this battle, 40,000 mages will be buried here."

Counting the previous 10,000.

50,000 mages had already been wiped out by them.

And in the entire magic world...

The number of mages was only 200,000.

As long as they continued to proceed steadily, they could completely conquer the magic civilization within half a year!

Great Yan Year 76.

End of the year.

After half a year of combat.

Xu Shi and Shen Xuanyi led the Great Yan Army to continuous victories.

On various battlefields, they found ways to restrain the mages' magic and the casting of forbidden spells.

But...

The mage army still caused significant casualties to the Great Yan Army.

Of the 600,000 Great Yan troops that set out, a full 80,000 were buried in the magic civilization world.

"The final battle. This great war is finally coming to an end."

In the command tent.

Xu Shi and Shen Xuanyi looked at each other, their moods both heavy and excited.

What was heavy was...

In the past half year, the Great Yan Army had suffered heavy casualties.

What was exciting was...

With the half-year of great war, the mage army had collapsed one after another.

Over 100,000 of the 200,000-strong army had been killed in battle.

Only these last stubborn forces were still struggling.

"Launch the general offensive."

Xu Shi took a deep breath.

And ordered his men to fire the signal firework flare.

As a beam of brilliant fireworks illuminated the sky, the final battle also began.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Great Yan Army shuttled through the endless roar of artillery and charged into the mage army.

0·

"Surrender and be spared!"

"Resist and be killed!"

Xu Shi's voice rang out on the battlefield filled with blood and fire.

Upon discovering that there was no way to turn the tide...

Many mages chose to surrender, stopped resisting, and submitted to the Great Yan Army.

This great war...

Soon came to an end.

Lasting nearly two years, the magic civilization was finally conquered by the Great Yan Kingdom!

Xu Shi immediately ordered his men to survey the oil resources buried deep underground.

And obtained an astonishing figure.

In the magic world with a diameter of 10 kilometers, the oil reserves hidden underground reached 150 million tons!

This reserve.

If supplied to the Great Yan Kingdom, it would be completely sufficient for the Great Yan Kingdom to develop at full speed for thirty years!

Great Yan Year 77.

The news of the Great Yan Army's great victory and the conquest of the magic world reached the Great Yan Kingdom.

Yan was overjoyed.

Especially after learning of the astonishing oil reserves.

He was even more delighted.

Oil, the fuel energy for steam engines!

Having obtained such astonishing reserves of oil, the development of the Great Yan Kingdom would be like a wild horse breaking its reins, unstoppable!

The national strength would also continue to climb!

"Late Emperor, do you see? If I hadn't usurped the throne, would the Great Yan have today's prosperity?"

Yan looked up at the sky and couldn't help but mutter.

Over these years.

There had always been a stone pressing on his heart.

That was that his imperial throne was not obtained legitimately.

But was obtained by usurpation!

Therefore.

Over these seventy years, he had been diligent and conscientious every day.

Never forgetting for a moment that he had to achieve accomplishments that surpassed Emperor Ji.

Now.

He had finally done it.

Under his leadership, the Great Yan Kingdom had become increasingly prosperous, and its strength was growing stronger and stronger.

Within three years, he had conquered three other worlds!

And these other worlds were all extraordinary civilizations!

Wherever the Great Yan Army went, they were invincible.
