Chapter 442: Ivina's Infiltration into the Enemy Camp, the Impact of Airships and Warplanes
Is there really such a place as the wizard kingdom?
Although the wizards present had all heard this news, the rumors were so exaggerated that they couldn't help but be somewhat skeptical. Some even believed it was a trap set by the church to lure them into a snare.
In silence, Lucas led the group, rushing through the forest with the help of the trees and bushes.
However, what made the wizards despair was that after running out of this dense forest, they were met with an endless wilderness, meaning they had no more places to hide!
Lucas then realized that the knights had deliberately driven them in this direction.
At that distracted moment, several arrows shimmering with magical light shot out from the dense forest behind them.
"Quick, dodge!"
In a desperate cry, Lucas also sensed the impending danger and almost instantly, a Mage Shield was cast upon him.
However, the sturdy magical shield was of little use against these arrows infused with anti-magic spells, and it was soon pierced through.
One of the arrows directly pierced through the shield, deeply embedding itself in his shoulder.Lucas grimaced, but more than pain, it was fear that filled him, as several more anti-magic arrows were now aimed at his chest.
"Slice!" At that moment, a low voice of a girl suddenly rang out, and a slender blade swept past Lucas. Amidst the splashing sparks, three of the anti-magic arrows were knocked down.
Lucas, still trembling, took a few steps back and realized that the one who intervened was a young brunette girl, with delicate features and a hint of coldness in her eyes,
"Thank you for your help," Lucas said gratefully, quickly recognizing the girl before him.
Ivina, a wizard from the White Dove School, proficient in shaping, was said to be a noble before becoming a wizard, with considerable swordsmanship skills.
However, just yesterday, the residence of the White Dove School was invaded by a large number of witch hunters, and the entire school was almost completely destroyed, with only two people escaping and joining the mutual aid association.
Lucas couldn't help but sigh. Recently, there had been too many wizard schools that had been severely damaged or even completely wiped out, and the White Dove School where Ivina belonged was not the first, nor the last.
"Let's save the gratitude for later; now is not the time for chatting," Ivina responded lightly, then swung her sword again to cut off the arrow embedded in Lucas's shoulder.
Considering the issue of blood loss, Ivina did not pull it out, as this was not the place to treat wounds.
"I know there is a village not far from this wilderness. Perhaps we can shake off these enemies there," Ivina said, looking at the knights who had emerged from the dense forest, and continued speaking at a rapid pace.
The wizards present were suddenly delighted, but their joy only lasted for a moment because everyone could see that they would not be able to outrun the cavalry in the wilderness unless they left some people behind to hold them off!
Lucas gritted his teeth. He understood that now either they all died, or he had to abandon some people.
"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, a wizard pointed to the sky and exclaimed, and the eyes of all the wizards followed the direction of his finger.
Where their gaze fell, black dots appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly approaching this way.
"Ships, they seem to be ships flying in the sky..." Ivina murmured, her vision being the sharpest.
As Ivina said, as these flying objects approached, they appeared to be massive and majestic ships flying in the sky.
They were a bluish color, with an oval-shaped huge balloon mounted above the ship, firmly tied with dozens of sturdy chains, exuding a sense of industrial beauty.
Are these the sky-faring airships?
Ivina was amazed. Although she had seen information about these things in the data, seeing them in person still couldn't conceal her shock.
Such huge things could actually fly in the sky!
Not only the wizards but also the knights of the church noticed the sudden appearance of the airships. However, their pursuit speed did not decrease but increased, as they wanted to capture Lucas and his companions before the wizards' reinforcements arrived!
"Hold on, our reinforcements have arrived!" Lucas shouted loudly to boost morale, but the formal wizards and apprentices surrounding him still felt heavy-hearted.
Because in front of them was a cavalry squadron led by dozens of bishops, totaling four thousand men!
The sound of hooves getting closer and closer, lifting waves of dust like tidal waves towards the crowd.
Crossbows were being reloaded, and the sharp arrows gleamed with a cold light in the midday sun.
Ivina gripped the thin blade in her hand with a serious expression. In order for the infiltration plan to be flawless, she and these bishops chasing the wizards were unfamiliar with each other, had no contact whatsoever, and only had escape plans in place.
For example, she just mentioned a hidden passage in the village, which could be used to escape pursuit and gain the trust of these fellow wizards.
But this also meant that she would be pursued without restriction by friendly forces!
With such a dense array of crossbows, Ivina did not have a hundred percent confidence in defending against them.
Just as the witch hunters finished loading their crossbows and were about to fire, a loud roar sounded above everyone's heads, followed by a distortion of light, and two warplanes with a wingspan of tens of meters appeared in front of everyone.
It looked like an enlarged several times, all-steel Camelop Falcon. It flew over Lucas and the others at an incredible speed, the turbulence caused by its huge wings blowing away the surrounding dust, then charging towards the four thousand knights.
The steel warplane rushing towards them quickly caught the attention of the witch hunting knights, and bows and crossbows were aimed at the sky, but the speed of the warplane was too fast, with a speed of 360 kilometers per hour, making it difficult to aim effectively.
In the next moment, the intense roar of machine guns rang in everyone's ears, almost rupturing their eardrums.
Tongues of fire burst from the machine gun barrels, and the fierce barrage struck the witch hunting knights, instantly piercing through their armor and turning their flesh into a sieve.
The crimson blood flew across the battlefield, and the painful screams connected into one, leaving behind a horrifying blood path on the battlefield!
In just a dozen seconds, in a single charge, hundreds of witch hunting knights had fallen into a pool of blood, with remnants of bodies and limbs strewn across the entire battlefield, and the dense smell of blood permeated the air...
