BXBX NOVEL Chapter 595 Final trump card.
In no time, the troops of Tigeria had covered more than half of the distance. It was then that the forces of the Synder empire had their way out of the city. Another round of spells in addition to the Mana cannons rained down on the troops of Tigeria.
At that time, Sealord Granick received a signal from his fellow Sea lords.
"They are close enough, activate the AquaTorrent Conduit formation." Granick instructed the array masters stationed at the array sites.
Quickly, the head array masters from four battalions simultaneously activated the 3rd formation that was still yet to be revealed.
\'They are in for a big surprise.\' Sea lord Granick smirked as he couldn\'t wait to see the shock on the faces of the enemies.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Four massive spheres of mana rose from the outskirts of the sensory array\'s range and flew into the sky. This made those who were firing at the troops of Tigeria spare a second to steal a glance, while the eyes of those on the wall were glued to the rising mana Sphere.
The more the mana Sphere ascended into the sky, the more the heart rates of Ethan and his men increased.
The worst part was that they had no clue about the functions of the mana sphere and neither could they stop it as they were too far.
Under the gaze of thousands of humans, the four mana spheres finally reached the sky and exploded, dyeing the entire battlefield blue.
Quickly, the blue colour dissipated but instantly, thick dark clouds covered the skies above the city of Verdantovia and the area beyond.
A few seconds later, a heavy downpour began!
\'Is this what I think it is?\' Ethan muttered under his voice as he had a gut feeling that the battle was going to be way harder than he thought.
"Is it me or did their spells become stronger?" One of the generals pointed out as he felt a change in the battlefield
"It seems so." Ethan retracted his gaze from the sky and returned it to the battlefield.
"That explains their confidence." A deep frown formed on Ethan\'s face. The AquaTorrent Conduit formation was a simple but powerful formation. It increased the water molecules and increased the mana density of an area; which in turn doubles the strength of Aquamancers and at the same time reduces the strength of Pyromancers.
What made the formation more effective was the composition of both armies. The Soldiers of Tigeria empire mostly consisted of Aquamancers, while the army of Synder comprised mostly Pyromaniacs.
He was well aware that Tigeria would only attack a well-defended city like Verdantovia when they had a trump card that could greatly affect the battle, but he never expected it to be this strong.
After some minutes of pondering, Commander Ethan finally made a decision. "We need to destroy the formation or else our defeat is certain."
"If we enter the battlefield, the Angels of Tigeria will definitely come after us." One of the generals stated.
"I was trying to delay our conflict with them for as much as possible. However, the appearance of this formation makes it impossible to delay it any further." Commander Ethan shook his head as he continued. "The main forces would attack, while another group will be tasked to destroy the nodes of the formation."
…
"Now the real battle begins." A grin formed on Granick\'s face as the front line of Tigeria empire reached the barrier.
"Huh?" He was a little bit surprised to see the Angels of the Synder empire coming out of the city much earlier than expected, but that only made things better for them.
Without thinking twice, Sea lord Granick and the other Sea lords alongside their generals shot into the air to meet the enemy Angels.
"I always knew Tigerians were crazy, but I never expected you all to be so excited to die." Commander Ethan mocked as he conjured a golden flame spear and threw it at the lowest ranking amongst the 4 Sea lords present.
At that moment, all the falling raindrops begin rising as if someone had clicked the reverse button. However, instead of going up, the raindrops moved before the sealord to form a barrier that quenched the golden flames.
"Coward, I am your opponent." Granick sneered at Ethan\'s dirty tricks.
…
The group of Angels sent out to destroy the four nodes of the AquaTorrent Conduit formation were able to "successfully" sneak past the cultivators of Tigeria empire.
In no time, a group arrived at Granick\'s camp and saw Xander, Slade and Seraphina standing guard at the node.
"Why the shocked expressions, did you think we would leave the formations unprotected? I knew you guys were braindead but, c\'mon this is too much." Xander mocked them as he feigned a concerned expression before bursting out in laughter.
"Let\'s take care of these bastards before the others realize." One of the Angels who was from the Blackthorn Ancestral family snorted as he wasted no time casting his spells.
Without wasting another second, a thick lightning bolt formed in the hands of a member of the Karius family. Devoid of hesitation or pity, she threw it straight at Seraphina. Just like anyone facing an opponent from the lightning pathway, Slade had already expected something like this and had prepared beforehand.
Transmutation!
Large quantities of dirt particles converged in front of Seraphina before merging into a wall that instantly turned to Chromastone.
Ding! The lightning bolt came to a halt, but the member of the Frostborne family was already on the move. Water Serpent!
A water serpent with twice the thickness of a human formed out of thin air and charged toward
