Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 70 Heaven’s Punishment—Destruction

"It's a new weapon. Disperse! Disperse!"

"Ah—my hand!"

"Damn it! How could the pigs of the Yaminik Kingdom have such a thing!?"

Dozens of consecutive explosions went off in the camp of the Rankou Kingdom. Most of those who were eager to gain military achievements and launched the final charge were concentrated in the position of the central army. This explosion directly engulfed the soldiers in the front!

Even those who survived by chance, the killing power caused by the shrapnel formed by the special inscripted metal was enough to cause more casualties!

The range of the power was larger than expected.

The coverage range of third-order area magic usually varies from three meters to fifty meters. Some will pursue a wider coverage range and thus reduce the power.

The optimal coverage diameter is ten meters.

The coverage range of fourth-order area magic usually varies from ten meters to one hundred meters. Similarly, if one pursues the extreme hundred-meter-level range, then the power at a single point within the range may even be inferior to that of low-level magic.

The optimal coverage diameter is twenty meters.

The coverage range of fifth-order area magic can vary from twenty meters to three hundred meters.

The optimal coverage diameter is fifty meters.

And the area damage caused by the explosive magic of the "Nostalgia" made by Su Lian and the alchemical magic powder can already cover an area with a diameter of thirty meters. Considering the alchemical inscripted metal that can shatter into shrapnel, the range can be expanded to fifty meters!

Even if the hilly terrain is scattered, they are relatively concentrated at this moment and definitely cannot withstand the bombardment of fifty "Nostalgia" items at one time!

Fifty items, released according to the plan, can completely cover a strip of land that is one kilometer long and nearly one hundred meters wide!

Almost all of the Rankou Kingdom's troops that were close to the position of the central army and wanted to attack the riverbank were wiped out!

...

"Damn it—!"

The frontline commander of the Rankou Kingdom was almost furious!

This one-time bombardment of magic items had at least caused the death and injury of three thousand of their soldiers!

Especially since the position of the central army was relatively concentrated and it was temporarily impossible to accurately calculate the number of deaths and injuries, this number might be even higher!

"Retreat! Sound the retreat horn. Retreat!" The frontline commander gritted his teeth and shouted!

"Whoo—!"

The long sound of the magic horn sounded again. However, this time, the low pitch meant retreat.

"Hurry up! We don't know if they still have that damned thing. Retreat with the wounded immediately!"

"I saw that they threw it out. The distance shouldn't be too far. As long as we retreat to their original position, we'll definitely be fine!"

"Retreat. Retreat eight hundred mog (about 1,100 meters) backward first!"

Each small unit quickly retreated under the leadership of their respective team leaders or other superiors, and the wounded who could still be saved were immediately carried on their backs and taken away.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Yaminik Kingdom let out cries of joy!

The enemy had retreated!

Although they didn't know what the battle plan was and how these numerous area magic attacks came about, seeing such terrifying damage to the enemy and successfully repelling the enemy was already something worth cheering for!

However, among these people, there was only one person who couldn't cheer.

That was Hardy!

...

Don't go. Don't run away!

My seventh-order area magic hasn't been launched yet. I haven't got my military achievements yet. Don't run away!

How could this be... How could this be...

"How could this be..." Hardy looked at everything in front of him with a lost, even desperate expression.

Those enemies he had originally feared, those enemies who could have killed him at any time, now he was actually praying in his heart for them to come back.

He didn't know if that "seventh-order magic" would really be launched, but now all his hopes were pinned on it. He had clearly imagined the glory, wealth, and prosperity, but now it seemed that they were about to slip away from his sight.

Military achievements, my military achievements!

My title, my beautiful women!

Wouldn't that all be gone?

"At least... at least don't leave our original position... don't leave... please don't leave!" Hardy prayed nervously.

He didn't even realize how trembling and incoherent his words were.

So much so that it was impossible to tell whether he was afraid, lost, or desperate.

He was just a small person. He had clearly seen the dawn of reaching the peak of his life. Was it going to slip away like this?

...

『There is one minute and fifty-nine seconds left until the "Heaven's Punishment" strike!』

...

"My seventh-order magic..."

Hardy unconsciously had already knelt on the ground and stretched out his hand to look at the defense area he had originally stationed in, which had been captured.

"Tsk! You're a useless Hardy. The enemy has retreated, and you're still fantasizing about that seventh-order magic of your ancestors!"

"Haha! Leave him alone. He's already been scared crazy!"

"We've won! As long as we've won, we don't have to worry about anything!"

The others hugged each other excitedly and cheered happily!

"Soldiers! Cheer! We have defeated the enemy and defended our motherland and our families!" Prince Tewart also shouted with his magic power!

Even though he had been leading the battle and luring the enemy at the front line continuously, and his spirit and physical strength had already been exhausted.

"Oh—!"

"Long live the Yaminik Kingdom!"

"We repelled the villains of the Rankou Kingdom! Hahaha!"

They cheered and jumped for joy!

They had no idea that a countdown representing destruction was quickly ticking away in the sky in front of them!

...

『There are sixty seconds left until the "Heaven's Punishment" strike!』

...

The subordinates of Angus who were mixed among the Yaminik Kingdom's troops also heaved a sigh of relief.

They had completed their mission safely. After returning to Aivisu, they were sure to receive a reward.

Looking at the joy of the people around them and thinking about their own rewards, they couldn't help but feel happy. Separated by many soldiers of the Yaminik Kingdom, they smiled at each other under the flames and illumination magic, as if they had already decided what good wine to drink after ret

urning to their country.

Among them, there was also an outlier.

That was Su Lian.

"I should no longer be sensed." Su Lian looked in the direction of the fortress.

After such a violent series of explosions just now, the wild elemental power on the battlefield had long since broken the spiritual lock that Angus had on him.

Just in case.

Without chanting, a high-level spiritual magic—Chaotic Gale!

He directly dispersed the spiritual power perception around him. This was a magic to get rid of the enemy's spiritual lock.

As for whether he would be suspected if Angus was still locking on to him and he did this, he didn't need to care about that anymore. This was a battlefield. Even if the enemy had retreated, he had plenty of excuses to explain why the spiritual power here suddenly became chaotic and made it impossib

le to lock on.

Finally, he checked the time and also found that it was already past midnight.

It was already the next day.

High-level enhancement magic—Iron Wall!

High-level enhancement magic—Iron Body!

Defensive Blood Battle Technique—Blood Cocoon Shield!

Earth elemental, high-level magic—Black Rock Shield!

Ice elemental, high-level magic—Ice Ling Shield!

In the pit where Su Lian was, while everyone else was cheering, he extinguished the torch beside him and, while suppressing the halo and aura of his magic power explosion to the lowest level, used various defensive means on himself or in front of him just in case.

...

『There are thirty seconds left until the "Heaven's Punishment" strike!』

...

This space-based "Heaven's Punishment" strike, I must witness it with my own eyes!

Werewolf transformation, initially initiated!

Silver-white fur had already appeared on Su Lian's body surface, and his facial features and limbs had also undergone subtle changes!

He stared fixedly at the battlefield in front of him.

He looked at the soldiers of the Rankou Kingdom who were carrying the wounded. Most of them had retreated more than three hundred meters away and had basically retreated to a position five hundred meters away from the riverbank. That position was one of the original positions of the Yaminik Kingdom.

The defensive fortifications they could use made them think they were temporarily safe.

What they didn't know was that the defensive fortification area that was originally more than 1,500 meters wide was the most dangerous area. The safest area was actually the place where they had just been bombarded by the "Nostalgia"!

...

『There are fifteen seconds left until the "Heaven's Punishment" strike!』

...

The soldiers of the Rankou Kingdom didn't notice the coming of death at all!

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

The soldiers of the Yaminik Kingdom were still immersed in the joy of victory of repelling the enemy!

...

『There are ten seconds left until the "Heaven's Punishment" strike!』

...

Finally, at this moment!

All the powerful beings above the seventh order present finally sensed the dangerous aura through their powerful danger perception honed on the battlefield!

Even Su Lian himself had his wolf fur standing on end and clearly felt the approaching danger!

The sky—!?

There was a threatening attack coming from the sky!

Angus, Tewart!

The capable generals on both sides simultaneously sensed an extremely dangerous aura!

...

『There are five seconds left until the "Heaven's Punishment" strike!』

...

"Get down quickly!"

Prince Tewart shouted in horror!

"Defend quickly!"

The powerful generals of the Rankou Kingdom roared in panic!

Everyone could hear the fear, panic, and despair in their words! They subconsciously obeyed this order, as if they also vaguely felt the threat and took measures to protect themselves when the danger came!

However, everything!

It was already too late!

"Heaven's Punishment"—had arrived!

...

『There is the last second left until the "Heaven's Punishment" strike!』

...

At that last moment!

In the eyes of everyone, they only saw an attack that was as fast as a stream of light breaking through the clouds and falling from the sky!

It directly hit! The original position of the Yaminik Kingdom, where the troops of the Rankou Kingdom had retreated and stopped at the moment!

...

"Boom—!!!!!!!"

...

The intense light hurt their eyes, and the deafening roar shook their eardrums!

The devastating "Heaven's Punishment" strike turned all the lives centered around "Heaven's Punishment" into pieces! Rocks, soil, plants, and bodies, everything was reduced to ashes under this "Heaven's Punishment"! The area magic attack wi

th a power almost reaching the eighth order destroyed this army corps!

Even the screams and wails were obliterated!

A terrifying mushroom cloud rose under the blood moon, and the scorching shockwave spread in all directions!

Even those outside the effective strike range were blown away by this powerful and scorching shockwave, including the soldiers of the Yaminik Kingdom!

Even Prince Tewart himself, even though he had gotten down, was still blown away more than ten meters by this terrifying shockwave!

Only Su Lian!

In the shockwave, in his small pit, he forcibly withstood it with his defensive means. His scarlet eyes, filled with the frenzy of bloodlust and killing, watched everything happening in front of him!

What he had created with his own hands...

Destruction!
