Boarding the Iron Titan, Zhang Ze saw the video footage transmitted back by the drone. He saw a long team, like a long snake, moving on the wasteland. Zhang Ze saw the flag they raised, which was different from the previous wave of royal troops. Exactly the same, obviously sent by His Majesty the King.
"The number of people this time is much larger than last time. It seems that His Majesty Kiir is very determined to eliminate me." Zhang Ze smiled lightly.
"Although the city wall in the Misery Wilderness has been repaired, it is too old and very crude. There is not even a defensive arrow tower. If the opponent uses heavy tools such as catapults and siege towers, it will be impossible to defend against it."
"And the opponent has a large number of people. The people in my city combined are not as many as their soldiers. We must not let the opponent attack the city."
"Since the other party is coming for me, I will deal with them alone without involving the people."
After thinking about it, Zhang Ze decided to take the initiative to avoid casualties among the people in the city.
He didn't tell anyone, and left the town alone in the Iron Titan to fight against the king's army.
At the same moment, Marshal Eddie was riding a horse and talking to Marcus beside him. The two were good friends in private, and the topic naturally revolved around this mission.
Marcus stroked his gray beard and asked curiously: "Eddie, who is this Rakshasa? How could His Majesty Keir and the nobles hate him so much? Both sides wrote personal letters, asking me to bring the mage with me. The legions march out.”
He stayed in the Mage Association all year round to study magic and rarely interfered with outside affairs, so he didn't understand the grudges between Zhang Ze and the nobles.
"Oh, you don't know yet." Marshal Eddie explained: "He is a brave man recruited from the people by the Queen, and was assigned to the Misery Wilderness to deal with the players who are making trouble everywhere."
"This man is very capable and solved the crisis as soon as he took office. It's a pity that he had a conflict with the local nobles and actually executed people without authorization!"
"You mean, Rakshasa killed the noble?" Marcus' eyes widened suddenly, he was surprised.
Few people dare to kill nobles, because the consequences are very miserable.
"Yes! You said this Rakshasa, it would be great to be his consul. He insists on provoking the nobles. Now he has angered the king and the nobles. This fate has been sealed."
Marshal Eddie sighed: "Otherwise, with his achievements, his future is limitless."
"That's indeed a pity." Marcus agreed, but he didn't care about these things. If it weren't for the fact that the operation of the Mage Association requires the support of the kingdom, he would be too lazy to care about these things.
"Hurry up and resolve this matter so that I can go back and continue studying my forbidden arts." He thought to himself.
At this moment, the two heard a strange roar in the sky, as if something was flying above them.
They looked up in surprise and saw a strange machine appearing on the horizon, slowly heading towards them.
The machine was so big that it blocked the sky and the sun, and the shadow reflected on the ground completely enveloped everyone, as if the end was coming.
"What is this?"
Marshal Eddie was stunned. He had never seen something so huge and capable of flying.
Marcus was also surprised. Based on his many years of experience, such a heavy object would never be able to fly on its own, and could only rely on the power of magic.
"So, what kind of magic is this?" He frowned, and the names of magic skills began to flash in his mind: Levitation, Sky Travel, Giant Object Control...
However, no matter what kind of magic it is, it is impossible to float such a huge object high in the sky.
Marshal Eddie suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed: "This must be a Rakshasa!"
"Previously, Quentin mentioned in his battle report that there seems to be a magician behind Rakshasa helping him! That magician can control the Tin Man to fight for Zhang Ze..."
He stared at the huge black shadow above his head and murmured: "I guess this is the same."
"Can control armor to fight..." The names of magic skills began to flash in Marcus' mind: soul enchantment, magic control, spirit injection...
"To be able to give life to such a huge object, the other party's magical power is probably better than mine!" Cold sweat suddenly flowed from his forehead, and at the same time he was slightly excited.
"In all these years, I have never seen a magician more powerful than me!"
His eyes began to shine, and he thought to himself: "I must meet this person. If possible, we may be able to explore the mysteries of magic."
"Master, we have reached the enemy's sky. Do you want me to launch an attack now?"
Iron Titan asked Zhang Ze, who pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Wait a minute, I want to communicate with the other party, it is best to resolve this war, so that there will be fewer casualties."
Turning on the intercom, Zhang Ze spoke to the screen: "I am Rakshasa, the Archon of the Misery Wilderness. Who is the leading commander? I have something to tell you."
The soldiers of the King's Army below looked at each other in confusion. After a while, an old but powerful voice sounded: "I am the commander of this expedition, Marshal Eddie!"
"If you want to beg for mercy, then come down and surrender as soon as possible. There is no need to talk about anything else!"
Although Marshal Eddie is beating the drum in his heart, he must not lose his dignity and honor as the marshal of the empire. Even if he cannot defeat the opponent, he cannot lose in terms of momentum!
"Marshal Eddie, regarding my execution of Viscount Cromwell, it was entirely because of his heinous crime and he deserves the blame."
Zhang Ze told the facts clearly: "Moreover, I have written to Queen Louise to explain this matter. I believe she will persuade His Majesty the King to pardon me."
"So, I hope you will not attack the Misery Wilderness, because it will lead to the destruction of life."
"Stand where you are, waiting for the king's order, or turn back, otherwise your army will suffer a devastating blow!"
In the face of Zhang Ze's warning, Marshal Eddie remained unmoved and said loudly: "I was ordered by the king to come to destroy you. There is no way I can retreat! If you really don't want the people to suffer, then you should surrender obediently!"
Zhang Ze curled his lips. He saw clearly that it was basically impossible to convince the other party. This battle was inevitable.
"Well, since you insist on fighting, I will satisfy you. Iron Titan, prepare to attack!"
Buzz!
All the cannons on the Iron Titan were activated, and the dark muzzles were aimed at the troops on the ground.
At the same time, there were countless small drones, carrying mechanical spiders, flying out of the hatch, forming a large black area.
"Shrink the formation, archers and musketeers aim and shoot!" Marshal Eddie shouted: "The giant shield soldiers protect them!"
On the other side, Marcus was also facing a formidable enemy. He reached out from the pocket on his waist and took out a handful of sparkling arcane dust, and raised it to the sky.
Afterwards, under the complicated spell he recited, an invisible barrier enveloped all 30,000 people, protecting them from harm.
"Fire!"
Zhang Ze waved his hand, and the Iron Titan fired thousands of cannons!
"shooting!"
Marshal Eddie also waved his riding crop, and arrows and musket pellets flew towards the Iron Titan.
Marcus's magicians whispered spells, condensed the power of magic, and continuously released various magics towards targets in the sky.
Boom boom boom!
The laser cannon hit the surface of the magic barrier, exploding into clouds of sparks.
Arrows and musket projectiles were unable to cause any damage to the Iron Titan's thick steel plates, but the drones were unable to resist and were shot down like rain.
The magicians released powerful magic, and colorful light effects flickered on the appearance of the Iron Titan, either fire, thunder, or ice...
"The steel armor shield loss is 21%...27%...30%..."
Zhang Ze frowned as he listened to the sound in his ear.
"Is this the royal magician that old Morgan and Hada mentioned? He is indeed somewhat capable, but to me, it is nothing!"
Zhang Ze hummed, and with a thought in his mind, Aladdin and the Pied Piper appeared in front of him at the same time.
"Aladdin, make a wish to the giant oil lamp to forbid these magicians from casting spells."
"Pied Piper, play music into the loudspeaker, Iron Titan, play it in a loop, interfering with the enemy's sanity!"
"Yes, Master!"
The two attendants immediately took the order.
After the oil lamp giant heard Aladdin's wish, he immediately released his magic power, and waves of invisible magic power swept across the entire land.
"Huh? What a strong magic wave!"
Marcus was immediately aware of it, and he immediately released a defensive spell on himself to resist the influence of magic.
The other magicians were not as alert as he was. In an instant, they were affected by the magic power of the oil lamp giant, and there was an additional status above their heads: [Disabled Magic].
"What's going on? Why can't I release magic?"
"Me too! My magic power suddenly disappeared!"
"Could it be that the enemy's magician cast a spell on us?"
…
The magicians were immediately in a mess, and then, a mysterious musical sound suddenly sounded in everyone's mind, making their heads swell, causing severe pain, and they wanted to split their heads open!
In this case, all the soldiers and magicians of the Royal Army lost their fighting ability, and they were rolling and screaming on the ground one by one.
Marshal Eddie's willpower was stronger than that of other soldiers, but he was also sweating in pain.
If Marcus hadn't used [Calming Technique] on him, he might not have been able to hold on for long.
"Marcus, what should we do?" Marshal Eddie looked anxious as he saw that his men had been defeated.
Marcus didn't have any good ideas. The magic barrier he cast could resist physical attacks, but he was powerless against this invisible attack.
"All this should be caused by the magician behind Rakshasa."
Marcus looked up at the Iron Titan with a solemn expression and said in his heart: "Although I don't want to be an enemy of the other party, I must take action now."
After that, he opened his arms and kept muttering a few obscure incantations. At the same time, a dazzling red light appeared all over his body, and countless fire elements began to converge on his body.
He wants to cast the most powerful fire magic: [Hell Flame]!
The entire sky suddenly darkened, as if it had entered a dark night. Then, a bright light cut through the darkness and struck the Iron Titan head-on!
"Master! A powerful energy was detected approaching here. I tried to dodge, but the object seemed to be under control and had locked onto me. It is predicted to collide with me in 10 seconds."
Zhang Ze looked at the big screen and saw a huge fireball like a meteorite, wrapped in raging flames, enlarging little by little in the center of the screen. He squinted his eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "Steel Titan, open the hatch, release I am going out."
"Master, it will be very dangerous for you to do this."
"Excuting an order!"
"yes."
The Iron Titan immediately opened the hatch, Zhang Ze changed into the [Emperor of Light], spread his wings behind his back, and jumped down from an altitude of more than a thousand meters.
Behind him, the Pied Piper and Aladdin stepped on the flying carpet and flew down together.
The next moment, with a thought in his mind, Zhang Ze took the Iron Titan back to the summoning space.
Zhang Ze had just felt that the fireball in the sky was so powerful that if it hit the Iron Titan, it would probably be directly destroyed, so he decided to take the Iron Titan back and replace it with other followers to deal with the Royal Army.
"Huh? That huge flying machine is missing?"
Marcus was startled. Seeing that the fireball he released was about to fall on his own head, he quickly changed the direction of the fireball and hit a mountain in the distance.
Then there was a loud noise, a mushroom cloud rose from the ground, the entire mountain peak was directly destroyed, and the earth trembled!
"Thankfully the Iron Titan was put away."
Zhang Ze took a breath of air. The fireball was really powerful, comparable to a nuclear bomb!
"It seems that there is a powerful magician in the opponent's camp."
Turning his head, Zhang Ze locked his eyes on Marcus, who was wearing a white robe, and thought to himself: "As long as this old mage is eliminated, the king's army will definitely lose."
"Aladdin, follow me!"
At Zhang Ze's greeting, Aladdin controlled the flying carpet and followed closely, killing Marcus.
At this time, because the Iron Titan disappeared, the Pied Piper's music could no longer affect the soldiers and magicians of the King's Army. They recovered from their headaches and gradually regained their fighting ability.
"There's someone in the sky, shoot him down!"
During the flight, Zhang Ze heard someone shouting below, and then arrows and musket pellets flew towards him.
Zhang Ze can't care about this at all now. He has only one goal, and that is to deal with Marcus.
Aladdin immediately stood behind Zhang Ze and shot down all these things.
Although Marcus is a magician, his reaction speed is very fast. He has long noticed Zhang Ze rushing toward him.
"In front of me, any attack is ineffective."
He used his fingers to draw a strange circular magic circle in front of him. When he took his fingers away, the magic circle stayed in the air and glowed red.
The next moment, Zhang Ze had already arrived, stabbing Marcus's throat directly with the [Blood Dragon] in his hand.
As a result, Zhang Ze was shocked to find that he had passed through Max's body!
"What's going on? Is this guy transparent?"
Zhang Ze stopped and turned around to look, only to see Marcus also facing him, with the characters on the red magic circle in front of him still flickering.
"No, there's something weird about this magic circle!"
