Chapter 175 The Chase
Upon hearing this, Jemin snapped out of his daze from the power of the attack and nodded with a smile.
Normally, a wizard's invasion of a plane is divided into multiple stages.
Aside from the earliest intelligence gathering phase, the two most important phases are the later ones: the initial invasion phase of the previous landing operation and the current protracted war phase.
These two stages are both important and troublesome. The key is to strike the right balance, demonstrating the threat posed by the wizards while preventing the native inhabitants of the plane from underestimating them.
The landing phase has already given the natives of the Frostfire Plane enough confidence, so this round of battle is to give them a head-on blow!
Only by putting a suitable amount of pressure and fear on these indigenous people can we get them to take things seriously.
Under pressure and fear, the indigenous people will spontaneously and as much as possible mobilize their strength and plunge the wizards into a long and arduous war.
This requires high-level wizards to strike a balance.
Just like that attack just now, although it looked powerful, all the wizards present knew that the attack had actually been greatly restrained.
It's important to know that even after the sitting technique is released, it can still be manipulated.
That Lava Giant-targeted sorcery was enough to carve out an annihilation zone hundreds of kilometers long and tens of kilometers wide in the Frost Plane with just a slight adjustment of the cannon's angle.
If this spell had lasted any longer, and the cannon had swung at a larger angle, it would have been enough to plow through the entire plane.
At that time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they could wipe the entire Lava Giant race off the Frost Plane.
But doing this would be pointless except for forcing the lava giant King Ramos to detonate the plane's origin and perish together with him.
On the battlefield, the shocking sight of massive lava giants being instantly disintegrated by "Precision Destruction Spell" struck the hearts of all living beings in the Frostfire Plane like a heavy hammer blow.
That power that transcended cognition made them experience true fear for the first time.
The combined forces of the Lava Giants and Yetis, no longer caring about fighting or their long-standing grudges and precautions, completely collapsed, fleeing in panic towards their respective territories like a receding tide, filled with unimaginable fear.
And this is the "hunting moment" that the wizards have been waiting for.
On the wizarding "ship" plane, the voice of Commander-in-Chief Augustine, calm and decisive, resounded through the magic network terminal to all wizards: "All forces, attack! Pursue the routed enemy and maximize the harvest of war materials and live samples!"
The moment the order was given, Jemin, Viola, and the other logistics masters who were originally waiting on the "Ship" plane activated their flight spells without hesitation, and like a swarm of death gods descending from the sky, they once again rushed into the scorched land of the Flame Frost plane.
They were no longer bound to the rear, but instead joined forces with the combat wizards to form a ruthless torrent of death, relentlessly pursuing and killing the defeated soldiers of both races!
As a level three wizard, Viola's powerful magical aura, like a lighthouse in the night, naturally attracted the scattered low-level combat wizards on the battlefield.
Their eyes gleamed with dependence and awe for the strong. Instinctively, they gravitated towards Viola, forming a makeshift squad of more than ten people. They followed her deep into enemy territory to reap the rewards.
Jemin naturally followed Viola, his goal being to capture as many prisoners alive as possible for further research.
"These idiots! How dare they chase after us!"
After casually killing several hundred scattered lava giants, their squad encountered a still-organized rout.
This remnant of the lava giant army, centered around a level four lava giant general, consists of approximately several thousand lava giants, including hundreds of level two lava giants and several level three lava giants.
The fourth-level general's eyes burned with rage. He saw that there were only a dozen or so wizards, the highest level of which was only level three Viola, yet they dared to relentlessly pursue the remnants of their army of tens of millions of people. This was an utter disgrace to him as a general!
Overwhelmed by immense humiliation and rage, the level four lava giant unleashed a deafening roar.
Its sound, accompanied by the gushing of lava, echoed across the horizon. It abruptly halted its retreat, and the now somewhat crimson lava eye locked onto Jemin, Viola, and the others.
"Fight back! Kill these lowly invaders!" it roared.
Its massive body, carrying terrifying power, turned around like a locomotive and charged directly at Jemin and his team.
Behind him, the thousands of lava giants that were originally fleeing were like a powder keg that had been lit. Infected by the general's anger, they gathered a heat wave again, roared, and turned back to fight!
After a brief moment of surprise, the wizard team quickly deployed.
"Ashe, Locke, you two go deal with those level three lava giants!" Viola calmly gave the order.
Several level-two wizards immediately obeyed the order and rushed out, their rune staffs flashing with various colors of light, precisely locking onto their respective targets.
Without hesitation, Viola, her body radiating a dazzling light, directly confronted the level four lava giant general.
There is a clear difference in the power levels between the two sides. Although wizards are good at fighting beyond their level, the lava giants are a powerful fighting race recognized by Master Elwin, and it will not be easy to defeat them in a short time.
Viola's movements were light and efficient, her body tracing graceful arcs through the air, each burst of energy accompanied by a chilling aura.
Instead of confronting it head-on, she relied on her speed and anticipation to constantly weave through the gaps in the level four lava giant's attacks, searching for its weaknesses and depleting its power.
The remaining hundred or so level two lava giants and several thousand level one lava giants were naturally handed over to the two remaining level two master crafters and eleven level one wizards, including Jemin.
As Viola charged toward the level four lava giant, she glanced back at Jemin, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
After all, judging from the combat power of normal wizards, first and second level wizards can maintain an overwhelming position when facing creatures of the same level with their powerful wizarding skills, but being able to fight against a hundred people is already considered to be among the elite of the elite.
At this moment, Jemin, the other level two wizard, and eleven level one wizards were facing thousands of lava giants!
This also includes hundreds of level-two elites.
The ratio is too disproportionate; even a wizard would feel immense pressure facing such an exaggerated number of enemies.
Every step was like walking on thin ice; the slightest misstep could cost you your life.
Especially for Jemin, although she knew that Jemin had previously studied lava giants, he was only level one after all.
Viola even considered whether she should bring along a few more level-three lava giants to relieve the pressure on Jemin's side.
However, before Viola could even think, Jemin displayed a fighting prowess that shocked her beyond belief!
boom! boom! boom!
As Viola looked back with concern, the six "autonomous floating cannons" that surrounded Jemin's body like wings instantly activated as if they had come to life the moment they received the order, unleashing their full firepower!
Each floating cannon is a small turret, its interior shimmering with light, precisely targeting the hundreds of level-one lava giants rushing towards Jemin.
The cannons instantly spewed out intense energy beams and missiles, forming an impenetrable network of firepower!
The high-speed charging of the level 1 lava giants was hampered by the precise strikes of the floating cannons.
Their rocky bodies were pierced by energy beams, molten blood splattering everywhere, and one lava giant after another was directly blasted to death by the concentrated fire of the floating cannons.
Or, the dense energy barrage could repel and scatter the six floating cannons, which, with astonishing efficiency and perfect coordination, easily suppressed the hundreds of level-one lava giants charging towards him.
It even stopped them from advancing, relieving much of the pressure on the other wizards.
What Viola found even more incredible was that, faced with so many enemies, Jemin himself did not actively unleash any offensive magic!
His main focus was on using high-frequency sonic magic to assist his floating cannons!
On his left wrist, Jemin wore a peculiar bracelet inlaid with ten crystal-shaped talismanic artifacts.
Driven by Jemin's mental power, the ten rune crystals flashed rapidly in turn, and with each flash, a wide-ranging high-frequency sonic spell spread out from the crystals.
This sonic magic was specially chosen by Jemin. It is invisible and intangible, yet it can cause extreme damage to the internal structure of lava giants, especially their resonating cavities and auditory mineral crystals!
Hundreds and thousands of lava giants clutched their heads in despair as they were assaulted by wave after wave of continuous high-frequency sound waves.
Its enormous body trembled uncontrollably, the flow of lava within its body became disordered, its movements became sluggish and stiff, and it even temporarily lost its ability to attack.
Jemin suppressed the thousands of lava giants in front of him by continuously releasing high-frequency sound wave magic!
Of course, Jemin's behavior of standing still and suppressing enemies with indiscriminate sound waves also made him a "thorn in the side" of many lava giants!
For these creatures, who are instinctively sensitive to sound vibrations, Jemin's behavior was nothing short of provocation!
Almost all the lava giants, whether they were attacking other wizards or being suppressed by the floating cannons, subconsciously focused their firepower on Jemin!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Apart from the level three lava giant and the level four lava giant general in the distance, the other lava giants roared angrily from Jemin, the "source of interference," during lulls in the battle.
They unleashed scorching magma projectiles or summoned sharp earth spikes from the ground, bombarding the sky above where Jemin was like a torrential downpour!
"Watch out!" Viola's exclamation came from afar.
But Jemin showed no sign of backing down.
Before everyone's eyes, in an instant, Jemin was overwhelmed by the barrage of attacks.
