Chapter 55

Inside the native coalition's command post, the atmosphere turned from the previous excitement to solemnity and anger.

"The flank has fallen! Heavy losses!"

"Damn! Who is that guy?!"

"Unable to lock onto his position!"

The knight commander looked at the scorched area "plowed" by that figure on the map, his face turning livid.

Their ambush plan, which they were so proud of, was completely disrupted by a sudden variable.

The existence of that wizard was like a sharp thorn stuck deeply into their big net.

"Mobilize troops! At all costs, encircle and suppress him!" He ordered sternly.

A large number of native troops began to divert from the formation surrounding the valley, rushing toward the area where Jie Ming was.

They intended to use their numerical advantage and a tighter encirclement to force that wizard to reveal a flaw.

Elite teams equipped with special magic items and totems were sent in all directions, attempting to predict and intercept Jie Ming's movement route.

And Jie Ming, who was in the center of the battlefield, naturally perceived the change in pressure clearly.

"Hmm? More people have come." Jie Ming looked at the native troops surging from all directions.

Unfortunately, simply increasing the quantity was of no use to Jie Ming; he was well-versed in the essence of guerrilla warfare, using multiple mobile seal wizarding tools in rotation, absolutely not letting himself stay in any one place for too long.

However, just as Jie Ming was enjoying this one-sided "hunt," gradually dismantling the outer defensive line of the native coalition, problems appeared inside the valley.

The defensive line of the besieged apprentices had collapsed after all.

Even though Jie Ming attracted most of the firepower, the native troops besieging the apprentices inside were still numerous and well-trained.

Even after realizing Jie Ming's threat, the natives no longer cared about losses, launching attacks that could be called crazy.

The shamans exerted their power collectively, curses and weakening spells covered Horn's rock fortress, knights braved the bombardment of wizardry, charging one after another, giant axes and war hammers smashing into Horn's condensed rock defense again and again, emitting deafening roars.

And the entanglement team targeting Augusta also became more frantic, not hesitating to trade their lives for injuries just to drag down her strongest burst.

Crack!

On the light screen, the rock fortress Horn was trying his best to maintain appeared with a huge crack.

Hum!

The lightning armor around Augusta also flickered unsteadily, clearly bearing huge pressure.

The native commander seized this opportunity, bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

"General offensive! Full army attack! Don't worry about that guy outside! Prioritize solving the group of wizards inside!" The knight commander's roar shook the sky.

The main force of the native coalition, which had been accumulating for a long time, was like a fierce tiger out of a cage, carrying monstrous killing intent, launching a general offensive toward the apprentices' last defensive line.

Jie Ming, who had finished cleaning up the last batch of enemies, stopped his steps, his gaze locked on that valley shrouded in despair.

Having been wandering on the edge of the front line, he could clearly feel the change in the war situation; it was clear that there was a problem over at the valley, which was why these natives were so desperate.

The other party retreated actively, looking like their goal had been achieved, but Jie Ming was very dissatisfied:

"Damn it, fight if you want, leave if you want, do you take me for a public toilet?!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes; he turned his direction, activated the mobile seal wizarding tool, no longer circling along the outer edge of the valley, but flying toward the entrance of the valley like a cannonball out of the chamber.

Seeing the valley with intense elemental fluctuations erupting continuously from afar, Jie Ming pushed the mobile seal wizarding tool at his waist to the limit.

The seal operated at high speed, and violent energy instantly wrapped him.

His figure drew a trajectory of nearly a right angle, charging straight toward the sky above the battlefield at a horrifying speed!

Before taking off, Jie Ming activated Alchemy.

Under the traction of invisible power, several massive rocks broke through the ground, carrying Jie Ming and floating around him.

Jie Ming carried several massive rocks and rushed to an altitude of over a thousand meters in one breath; this altitude far exceeded the limit of apprentice-level flight spells; if it weren't for the blessing of the Light Body Technique, he wouldn't have been able to do this at all.

At this altitude, the mobile seal wizarding tool operated at full power and would overheat in less than a minute.

However, Jie Ming had made quite a few preparations for this trial, making ten spares each for mobile and attack types.

These seal wizarding tools were used in rotation at extreme power; once the front one overheated, it would shut down to cool, and the next one would be activated immediately, ensuring that Jie Ming could stably maintain this high altitude beyond the imagination of all apprentices.

He chose this altitude to avoid the various air-prohibitions or space restrictions of the native ground troops, and also to reduce the attacks he received.

The apprentices in the valley watched blankly as that figure who had been killing wantonly on the outer edge just now suddenly rushed into the high sky like a madman.

"What is he doing?!"

"Is he crazy? Charging so high, the flight spell can't be controlled at all; is he looking for death?!"

"Is he running away?"

Shock and confusion spread among the apprentices.

However, Jie Ming's purpose at this moment was not to escape, nor to seek death.

On the contrary, he intended to have a head-on collision with these natives.

This distance indeed exceeded the precision control limit of apprentice-level wizardry; if it were an attack-type wizardry that required locking onto a target, it would be difficult to maintain accuracy at this distance.

But Jie Ming didn't need accuracy.

He had already arrived above the entire valley, almost on top of the entire native coalition.

In this way... he only needed to pour firepower downward.

Since he intended to do something big, Jie Ming no longer had any reservations.

He took off the remaining pendants from his belt and took out all the attack-type seal wizarding tools from them.

One was damaged during testing inside the plane, and the remaining nine seal wizarding tools floated behind him under the action of Alchemy.

Accompanied by the activation of the seals on them, endless elemental power was absorbed by the seal wizarding tools, and the nine seal wizarding tools were like a fiery red ring floating behind Jie Ming, emitting astonishing energy fluctuations.

The defensive wizarding tools on his body surface were also activated at the same time, three energy shields of different colors circling around his body.

Tough earth-yellow, flowing cyan, violent red, like three layers of solid ramparts.

The shape of the rocks he had brought to high altitude with Alchemy also changed, turning into four giant rock shields circling above, below, and to the sides of Jie Ming, serving as additional shields to block attacks that might be shot by enemies from below or the sides.

Everything was ready.

Jie Ming's mind instantly entered a state of high concentration, and massive mental power surged into the seal wizarding tool array behind him like a tide.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

The seal wizarding tools behind him emitted high-frequency vibrations almost at the same time, and immediately, a terrifying torrent of wizardry poured toward the native coalition like a rainstorm!
