In all his time as a level 4 Wizard, Declan had never had his stamina depleted by someone.
He was a Physique Refinement Magus!
His strong flesh and bones had been tempered to the point of being as powerful as a Wizard Weapon.
His powerful defense and insane regenerative abilities made him one of the most difficult Body Tempering Wizards to deal with in the Scattered Tower Forest. His stamina was depleted by someone else? Such a thing was usually treated as a joke.
But today, such a ridiculous thing had happened!
After drinking all the Healing Potions on him, using up the number of uses of the Healing Magic Wand, and depleting the Wizard Energy in his body … Declan was at his wit's end.
But in front of him, the level 3 Fire Wizard and the level 4 Magical Puppet Dragon he was riding were still full of energy, as if they still had an endless supply of Magical Energy to support their battle.
It was something that Declan couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried.
According to his understanding, all metal Magical Machinery required the support of Magical Energy to function normally. Once the Magical Energy was depleted, the Metal Magical Machinery would turn into an unmoving lump of metal, losing all ability to fight.
Thus, even though most Wizard families had Metal Puppets, they could only be used to protect core areas like the Wizard's Pagoda or Secret Dimension. If they wanted to use them outside of the Wizard's Pagoda, just the expenditure of Magical Energy Crystals would be enough to bankrupt most Wizards.
And the massive and heavy body of the Magical Energy Crystal in front of him would require an alarming amount of Magical Energy to maintain. What did the Crimson Family use to power it? It couldn't be that the Metal Giant Dragon's body was filled with Magical Crystals, right?
In such a high-intensity battle, hundreds of Magic Cannons firing continuously, as well as three terrifying Giant Magic Cannons … All of these required a large amount of Magical Energy to support them. However, even a Tier 4 Body-Tempering Sorcerer like Declan was exhausted, yet the Puppet Dragon was still as powerful as ever.
This … This is unbelievable!
Halfway through the battle, Declan realized that he could not deplete the Puppet Dragon's energy reserves. His own Stamina reserves had already fallen to a dangerous level. This was why he could only take the risk and ambush the level 3 Fire Wizard.
Unfortunately, the other party seemed to be able to predict his intentions.
Every time he advanced to a position where he could launch an attack, three thick energy beams would be there waiting for him to walk right into the trap. In order to avoid a pincer attack from the energy beams, Declan could only do his best to dodge, but this often meant that he would lose the opportunity to attack.
With an endless supply of Mana at his disposal, the Tier 3 Fire Shaman was able to fire at any position that posed a threat to him. He was also able to keep Declan under constant bombardment.
Dripping water wears through stone, and rope cuts wood.
In the beginning, Declan didn't care about the cannons at all. In the middle, he tried his best to dodge the cannons, and in the end, he was clumsy. He finally realized that not clearing these cannons earlier was his biggest mistake!
Towards the end, under the protection of the three energy light pillars and the Fire Wizard's strange witchcraft, it was impossible for Declan to dismantle the cannons one by one.
As the energy levels rose and fell, some interesting changes appeared in the battle between the two sides.
At the start of the battle, Declan was the hunter with the absolute advantage. The only thing he had to worry about was facing a porcupine with spikes all over its body. He didn't know where to start, and could only move around to test the waters.
Towards the end, Declan's stamina began to run out, and he could no longer charge forward as fiercely as before. Instead, he began to move around quickly. At this moment, the Golem Dragon and Grimm were unusually active. They chased after Declan and fought him with all their might.
At this moment, Declan had become the prey, while the Golem Dragon and Grimm had become the hunters. The positions of the two sides had been swapped!
And so, the eagle that was soaring high above the clouds saw this absurd scene. Everything that the eagle saw was transmitted back to Keslin Castle at the same time, shocking all the Grade 4 Magi who were secretly watching.
"Disgraceful …"
"Scum …"
"Declan, this soft-footed crab, he's such a disgrace …"
Angry shouts filled with indignation threatened to break through the spell restrictions in the secret room and overturn the castle.
However, after the anger subsided, the Grade 4 Magi present could not help but feel pity for Declan.
Of course, it was not Declan's idea to forcefully destroy the Crimson Family. This was an order from the Fabris Family's great Magus who was stationed in the outer regions. It was said that this ancestor of the Fabris Family had been entrusted by another great Magus to give this order.
It was obvious that this order had already caused Declan to suffer greatly.
Once he retreated from the battlefield, that Grade 3 Magus would definitely control the Grade 4 Golem Dragon and chase after the Fabris Family's troops. The high-ranked Magi might be able to escape successfully, but the Fabris Family's troops and foreign army would probably lose more than half of their forces.
Even with the Fabris Family's strength, they would probably spit out three liters of blood.
Hence, within the secret room, President Fred's voice immediately sounded.
"Elder Nicholas, your family's territory is the closest to the Elobis region. Send a team to rescue the elites of the Fabris Family. Remember, do not engage in any direct conflict with that Fire Wizard. Prioritize saving them! "
"Clara, inform Laurent in Rayne City. Tell him to immediately contact the Crimson Family. Tell them that the association has already recognised their right to rule Elobis. This family war has also ended with the Fabris Family's defeat. During the war, the Fabris Family will repay any losses the Crimson Family suffers tenfold, no, a hundredfold. However, we request that they do not massacre Magi and acolytes. "
"As for the secular army and foreign army, let them do as they please!"
A series of orders were quickly passed down. A few Magi nodded in acknowledgment, their bodies exploding into black fog and disappearing from the secret room.
It turned out that the bodies that appeared in the secret room in Kirslin Castle were all illusions created by a Projection Spell. Of course, they were all in their own secret rooms in the Wizard's Pagoda.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the level 4 Magi in the secret room had disappeared, leaving only President Fred and Elder Milva, who were deep in thought. The two of them had attended the meeting in their original forms.
"What do you think of today's events?" President Fred suddenly asked.
"If I'm not wrong, that Fire Wizard Grim has a 40% chance of advancing to level 4 … It's worth befriending someone like him!" Elder Milva replied after some thought.
"But Matthew and Alfred …" Fred could not help but mutter.
"Hmph, their opinions are not worth mentioning! I heard that the Crimson Family's development in the north isn't going well. Although they've hooked up with the Destiny Witches, they've been ostracized by other Witch factions. Not long ago, they even started a war with the Chilly Winter Witches. I heard that the Chilly Winter Witches were the ones who lost. That's unbelievable! "
"Oh, there's such a thing?" As the president of the scattered Tower Forest Association, Fred controlled all the Magi in the central part of the continent. Every day, he had to take care of all the miscellaneous matters. How could he care about the conflict between factions in the far north?
However, since this matter involved the Crimson Family, he had no choice but to care.
"Send someone to investigate the relationship between this Grim and the Witch of Destiny in the North. If he's not a spy planted in the central part of the continent, we can consider pulling him into the association. Ahem, our scattered Tower Forest Association hasn't had a new face for more than 200 years, right? It's about time we get some new blood … "
As the two higher-ups in charge of the scattered Pagoda Forest Association left the secret room, the place once again became quiet and serene.
The Magi and acolytes of the Fabris Family who had stepped onto the battlefield would never have thought that their fates would be decided by a few rank 4 Magi tens of thousands of miles away.
… …
When Wizard Decan's stamina dropped to an extremely dangerous level, he finally put down the dignity and glory of a rank 4 Magus and began to run away.
The tens of thousands of Magi, acolytes, foreign warriors, and high-level mercenaries who witnessed this scene were all stunned.
By the time they realized that something was wrong, the Magi of the Crimson Family had already led the Magic Machine Legion towards them.
It was still the same two teams with the same cruel and ruthless warriors. However, when the situation changed, the mentality of both sides was completely different.
Previously, the Fabris Family was in charge of the attack, while the Crimson Family was in charge of the defense. Now, the Crimson Family was in charge of the attack, while the Fabris Family was in charge of the defense!
The Fabris Family Wizards had yet to break free from their extreme shock and fear when the gigantic golem dragon led the metal magic machines that covered the mountains and plains to kill them. By the time they realized what was going on, the energy fireballs and the energy beams shot out by the Magic Golem Dragon had already overturned the position of the Magi of the Fabris Family.
Amidst the earth-shattering waves of magic, the broken bodies of the Magi and acolytes were blown up into the sky. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
The Magi who had lost their will to fight back could barely fight back for two rounds. Without hesitation, they abandoned their position and quickly fled into the distance. The foreign army, the mutated beast army, and the common army were left behind to stop the Crimson Family's troops.
As the two sides chased and fled, they fought and killed each other, spreading the flames of war to an even wider area.
