End of the Magic Era-Chapter 1467: Traitor

Chapter 1467: Traitor

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yun had estimated that it would take at least an hour for a fortress to be established and stabilized. It seemed that he had completely underestimated the power of Noscent’s mages when they joined their hands.

All the procedures and time had been calculated before the fortress’s delivery. When the fortress arrived, the front line would have been pushed forward by 500 kilometers.

It only took 10 minutes for the task to be completed after the fortress arrived!

10 minutes later, nothing needed to be done about the fortress anymore. Also, those insane guys simply turned the earth within a dozen kilometers into a magic version of concrete to prevent this fortress node from affecting the Hexagonal Array in the future…

The area was expanding as time went by. In no more than 10 days, the fortress would be connected to another one dozens of kilometers away. This enormous piece of magic-version concrete would cover a radius of dozens of kilometers…

When the auras of those fortresses were all linked, Lin Yun couldn’t possibly imagine what would happen.

Those geniuses were truly not leaving any weakness. The earth within thousands of kilometers would turn into a gigantic piece of concrete. It would be at least three kilometers deep.

Adding the power of the super massive Hexagonal Array, this channel would be a desolate place where not even any grass could grow. The soil in the entire space would turn into a complete piece of concrete. Then, even a God Fire mage wouldn’t be able to destroy any iron fortress. To destroy one, they had to destroy the space in the channel once and for all.

That was 10,000 times more difficult than destroying a piece of land in a radius of several thousand kilometers. Only the power of gods could possibly do that.

Lin Yun only proposed the idea when he chatted with Agalon and Alonzo. Then, the two guys fully carried out his idea in ways he didn’t even think of.

This was indeed the best solution at this moment. Even Lin Yun could not think of a safer way. Taking a look back, he was pretty sure that all the iron fortresses in the rear were being built in such a way. Those which were built in the very beginning had surely been replaced. The channel to the Leviathan Plane had been blocked. Even if they failed, it would be impossible for the undead creatures to break into the Leviathan Plane.

In the worst-case scenario, the undead creatures would still be stuck here…

10 minutes later, Lin Yun detected that this area of iron fortresses, as part of the Hexagonal Array, had been activated. The chaotic magic waves here were suppressed. The air was no longer disturbing. The battlefield at the front line seemed to have been secluded.

In only 20 minutes, Noscent’s part of the territory had stretched by another 500 kilometers. When the place was occupied, it would be impossible to take it away.

It was a great masterpiece. They were so efficient that even Lin Yun couldn’t find anything wrong with it. All they needed to do was push forward slowly and expel undead creatures from this channel. Then, the Hexagonal Array would be fully set up. It could be partly activated to block the army of undead creatures. Then, all the six Saint Alchemists could activate it as a whole. In the end, the problem would be solved.

Lin Yun and Gandaph floated three kilometers from the ground, and watched the intense battles on the front line, where Mana Crystal Cannons, spells with massive coverages, and magic battleships were deployed…

The bombardments crushed the undead creatures across hundreds of kilometers in only half an hour. Most undead creatures in the area were killed. They couldn’t press forward any longer.

When the bombardments began, the teams that transported iron fortresses would follow the main troops.

After the most powerful bombardments eliminated most of the enemies, the weaker mages, swordsmen, and alchemy puppets would get rid of the undead creatures that survived so that nothing would go wrong when the iron fortresses were established.

When the crazy bombardments came to an end, and the undead creatures were about to counterattack, the iron fortresses in the rear would have already been set up.

Some parts of the array were activated first to place pressure on the enemies. Then, with the support of the fortresses, the teams that retreated from the front line could easily fend off the undead creatures’ counterattack.

They would reap the undead creatures and reduce their scale. When there were fewer enemies, and the mages in the rear were mostly recovered, they would gather their firepower and charge again.

The cycle went on. If they failed, they would just try again. They pushed forward bit by it. This was already the best solution because it didn’t require super experts. Experts below level 5 of the Heaven Rank could already take care of the situation.

Occasionally, there were undead overlords who were above level 45 on the front line. The undead overlords who appeared on the front line had lost most of their soldiers.

Undead creatures were always stubborn. Between the beginning of a war and its end, the cannon fodder of undead creatures was consumed for most of the time, and the undead overlords wouldn’t even show up until the war was coming to an end.

If there was no deep grudge between them, then the war would be more like an event to gather soul fires for them. It was possible that two powerful undead creatures would emerge after the war.

If they were mortal enemies, then it was even simpler. The two undead overlords would simply fight each other, and the one who remained standing at the end would swallow the loser’s soul fire. No matter how badly wounded the winner was, their wounds would recover after they swallowed the soul fire. Even their level would rise a little bit too.

The undead creatures were still fighting in such a pattern even though their enemy was Noscent’s troops, which gave Noscent an advantage.

Gandaph stared at the front line, which looked like a chaotic aurora that stretched for a thousand kilometers. That was the light of magic caused by the rays of spells.

“Merlin, I think something is wrong. The undead creatures might be planning something. Everything has been surprisingly smooth ever since we returned.

“Those undead overlords seem to have all lost their minds. They’re still fighting amongst themselves, more fiercely than ever. More importantly, they’re not fighting for the territory inside Dirty Blood, but the territory beyond.

“According to the message we received earlier, it seemed that a level-47 undead overlord was killed in the civil war…”

Gandaph seemed quite concerned because the situation was highly unusual. If the undead creatures had worked as a team, and all marched towards Noscent’s troops, then it would’ve been barely possible to resist them. Conquering their territory with such a strategy would’ve been dozens of times more difficult.

At this moment, it was possible to push 100 kilometers with a few charges. They could march at least 1,000 kilometers in a month, and then set up iron fortresses.

They had hoped to march 1,000 kilometers in three months. However, the reality was multiple times smoother than their best estimation. Of course it called for concern…

Lin Yun shook his head, and was not really bothered. Before he heard Gandaph’s words, he had known that Emir had had to be behind this.

That guy’s hatred of crows would prompt him to do anything. Ever since Lin Yun enabled him to release flames and burn crows, everything he said would be a truth for Emir.

He had asked Emir to sow chaos among undead creatures. The undead overlords never liked collaboration. They were only interested in caring for their personal interests, and it was impossible for them to cooperate at all. As long as any of the undead overlords started a war, it would be easy for the war to escalate.

Earlier, he simply didn’t want Emir, who was just an innocent gnome ghoul, to go to the front line and get killed by Noscent’s troops. After all, Emir had helped him a lot. Just because their races were hostile to each other didn’t mean they had to kill each other…

As soon as the channel was cut apart and sealed, neither of them would see each other again. There would be no contact between them at all.

He had tricked Emir into quitting the war in Dirty Blood so that he wouldn’t get involved in the war against Noscent’s troops at all. It seemed that Emir had done him a favor again. He made the war at the rear of undead creatures even fiercer than that in Dirty Blood.

That was the reason why Noscent’s troops were able to march so fast and smoothly.

Lin Yun hadn’t planned to tell other people about Emir. However, Gandaph seemed so worried as if he was going to enter the Plane of the Undead to look for the truth, so he briefly explained the matter to Gandaph.

Making use of the power of the Chapter of the Dead, he pretended to be an undead creature, and fooled a ghoul overlord into fighting other undead creatures in their rear…

Lin Yun didn’t elaborate, but Gandaph understood everything. He shook his head with a smile, and didn’t say anything.

Lin Yun wandered for days in the channel, only to discover that there was nothing that needed him. Everything here was in order. He only needed to be prepared to activate the Hexagonal Array, which wouldn’t be a problem.

Activation was the least difficult part of the establishment of the super massive Hexagonal Array.. All the six Saint Alchemists only needed to use their power of creation to activate it.
