News of Grimm's successful return to the Magus World was tightly sealed by Alice.
When Mary saw Grimm return to the fifth level of the Blazing Flame Monarch, she immediately pounced on him and bit him to vent her frustrations from being beaten up by powerful enemies all these years. But in the end, her little tantrum turned into a 'hand-to-hand fight', and Grimm 'won' with much difficulty!
As Grimm had been transferred to the top of the Blazing Flame Monarch through the Tower of Destiny, the number of people in the Crimson Family who knew of his return could be counted on one hand.
Ever since she'd advanced to rank 3, Mary had always thought that her abilities were not inferior to Grimm's. Even if she had to take charge alone, it would not be a problem. However, after this period of time in control of the Crimson Family, she suddenly understood the hardships of being the head of a family.
There were at least eleven or twelve grade 4 Magi in the scattered forest of towers in the central continent, and they had all established their own families or Magus organisations. However, there were only five large Magus families in the scattered forest of towers.
Why? The only reason was that the development of a family required too much effort from the Magi!
Many wizards established families to protect their bloodline descendants, or to collect rare resources and witchcraft items. They were not willing to spend too much effort and effort on anything other than magic. Hence, in the central continent where the strong preyed on the weak, it was extremely difficult for them to rise to become large families.
This was especially so for families like the Crimson Family. They had risen rapidly and gathered a large amount of resources that made others envious, threatening the territories and resources of the surrounding Magus families. They did not even have a strong backer. This was the true reason why the Crimson Family had been embroiled in wars for the past hundred years.
For example, the Sarubo Family that Grimm came from did not have a grade 4 Magus, but they had a great grade 6 Magus who lived in the outer regions. Therefore, there wouldn't be any blind Sorcerer forces looking for trouble with them.
Though the Sarubo Family and the surrounding Magus organisations had never stopped fighting, it was rare for a family to be exterminated like the Crimson Family.
In less than fifty years, the Crimson Family was facing its second extermination!
The Fabris family was one of the five large Magus organisations in the central continent. They had a rank 4 Magus backing them, and within the family, there were 15 rank 3 Magi. This time, in order to not give the Crimson Family a chance to make a comeback, they forcefully gathered seven Grade 3 Magi from the other planes they ruled.
With such a powerful force, dealing with the Crimson Family, who only had two Tier 3 Sorcerers on the surface, was a piece of cake. As for the Crimson Family being able to summon a large group of dragons from another dimension, to be honest, the Fabris Family was not afraid at all.
The Crimson Family had their own native mercenary army from other planes, and as a large Magus family, the Fabris Family obviously had more.
As the battle line drew closer and closer to Pine Tower City, the resistance they encountered from the Crimson Family grew more and more intense. The famous foreign army of the Fabris Family also began to appear one by one.
The first to appear was naturally the Frost Giant Army.
One of the secondary planes that the Fabris Family occupied was obviously a world of ice and snow, and thus formed a powerful army purely made up of Frost Giants.
The Frost Giants belonged to a cold subspecies of the Giant race. They looked like abnormally stout and muscular humans. They were usually around five meters tall, with frosty white skin and light blue braids.
The Frost Giants also had a gender, but regardless of gender, they were all strong warriors of the past.
Some of the stronger Frost Giants could even master all ice spells without a teacher, becoming a different kind of ice Magus. Although the combination of spells was a little monotonous, the attack power and range were very shocking.
Fortunately, the probability of a Frost Giant Wizard being born in a Frost Giant tribe was still very low. Therefore, in the 500 Frost Giant Army that the Fabris Family sent to the battlefield, there were only seven Frost Giant Wizards.
However, when this Frost Giant Army stepped onto the battlefield, the pressure on the Crimson Family suddenly increased!
It couldn't be helped. Although most of the Frost Giants were only warriors, they still knew how to use simple frost armor and frost gas. Furthermore, when these two extremely simple spells were used together with their brute force, they were even more difficult to deal with than the Frost Giant Wizards.
When the 500 Frost Giant Warriors, who were more than five meters tall, had tall and sturdy bodies with solid and dense muscles, and were wrapped in a bone-chilling frost armor, waved their powerful enchanted battle axes and roared as they rushed onto the battlefield. The Crimson Family's defensive line was torn apart in an instant, and it was difficult to protect the front and the back.
When those three-meter-tall metal magic machines lined up in a row and spat out a stream of metal bullets at the Frost Giants, the Frost Giant Warriors used their thick and sturdy arms to cover their faces and throats. They ignored the continuous stinging pain on their bodies and rushed in front of the metal magic machines in one breath. Only then did they roar and wave their huge battle axes, sending the magic machines flying into the air.
A large dent could be seen on the chest of the metal magic machines.
The originally indestructible shell at the bottom of the dent had shattered into pieces and was falling down to the ground, revealing countless strange magic machine parts that were spinning crazily inside. Dense cracks also appeared on the edges of the dent, extending all the way to the back of the machine that could not be seen.
While still flying in the air, the magic machines could not withstand such a great force and disintegrated in the air!
The continuous explosions of the Mana Circuits and the sudden explosion of the Mana Source caused the Metal Magical Equipment to explode into a huge fireball in midair, sending thousands of metal shards whizzing in all directions like bullets.
Relying on the strength of the giants, even a Grade 1 Frost Giant Warrior was not weaker than a Grade 2 human Anatomy Refinery Wizard. In a one-on-one battle, the metal magic machines that were not strong enough obviously could not withstand the violent blow of the Frost Giant Warrior.
In just the first round of charge, the Frost Giant Army broke through the first line of defense of the Magic Machine Legion and quickly fought with the second and third line of defense of the Magic Machine Legion.
The higher-ups of the Crimson Family who commanded the battle were also angry. Under their strict orders, a large number of Magic Machines rushed out of the line of defense and joined the chaotic battlefield.
Dense streams of metal bullets crossed the battlefield like rain and hit the tall and imposing body of the Frost Giant Warrior. The frost armor condensed by the Frost Giant could not defend every part of the body, but the throat, heart, crotch, armpit, and other vulnerable parts were still very well protected.
As for the other parts, the Frost Giant Warrior could not care about them at all, so he simply stopped defending and let the opponent attack freely.
The metal bullets rained down on the Frost Giant Warrior. Some of the kinetic energy was dissipated by the opponent's strong and dense muscles and bounced to the side. Some hit the frost armor and could not hurt the opponent at all except for a large splash of ice and snow. Some avoided the front of the armor and penetrated the opponent's skin that was comparable to leather armor, embedded in the muscle fibers or bones, and then fell as the opponent strode forward …
Only the Frost Giant Warriors that were focused by three to five metal magic machines would have their frost armor broken, and then be turned into sieves in the storm of metal bullets. But even so, the opponent would still roll on the ground and wail for more than a quarter of an hour before dying slowly and truly.
The tenacity and longevity of the Frost Giant Warriors' life force could be seen from this!
The Frost Giant Warriors did not have the strict discipline and neat formation of humans. They formed groups of three to five and dashed left and right as if they were hunting, wantonly hunting the metal magic machines that entered their attack range. The Magic Legion also sent out a large number of close-combat magic machines, holding a giant shield in one hand and wielding a two-meter-long steel sword in the other, fighting with the opponent.
As for the other archer-type magic machines, they scattered to the periphery and used the crazy roaring magic cannons and the dense stream of metal bullets to drown the opponent's body. Usually, it would take more than five archer-type magic machines more than three minutes to completely take down a Frost Giant Warrior, and during this period, the magic machines would have to endure the attacks of the Frost Giant Warriors in turn.
Therefore, to eliminate a Frost Giant Warrior, the Magic Legion would often need to sacrifice seven to ten Magic Machines.
Taking advantage of the fact that the warriors were holding back the Crimson Family's magic machine firepower, the Fabris Family's middle and high-ranking Magi stepped onto the battlefield under the cover of the Frost Giant Mages.
Snowstorms that covered the sky, bolts of violent thunder and lightning, shadow spears with terrifying black smoke, and powerful magic fireballs … With the protection of the frontline meat shields, the Magi's attack power was displayed to the fullest in an instant, instantly causing a shocking amount of damage to the Magic Legion.
However, the Crimson Family was not to be outdone.
Amidst the loud and clear sound of steam whistles, four hundred goblin mechanical warlocks, the 'Violent Blood Group', rushed onto the battlefield.
Compared to the monotonous attack of the Magic Machines, the goblin Warlocks' attack patterns were simply too diverse and dazzling.
The magic ray guns on the front of the Magic Machines shot out dense magic rays of different colors, while the magic cannons on the shoulders on both sides of the Magic Machines kept moving forward while bombarding continuously. On the other hand, the two arms of the War Magic Machine could shoot out alchemy flames that were dozens of meters long and shockingly hot.
On the back of the Magic Machines, there was a small weapons platform that kept throwing alchemy and self-destructing machinery to every corner of the battlefield.
A goblin Warlock was simply a mobile small arsenal, rumbling forward while continuously firing at all the enemy targets that could move in all directions.
The dense rain of bullets, the ferocious firepower, the indomitable momentum … instantly raised the morale that was a little low just now.
