Under normal circumstances, Archmages would most likely end up as cannon fodder. This group of Black Iron Beastmen's Wolf Riders would be able to take the heads of at least half of the mages in the mage army with a single charge.
This was why it was said that Archmages could end up as cannon fodder in a war in the Raging Flame Plane. It was because as long as they didn't fly away before the charge arrived, they would become live targets in a head-on confrontation and would die even faster.
But those Black Iron Beastmen didn't notice that none of the mage army standing in the distance was showing any fear or nervousness. Instead, they were all eager to give it a try.
Kurumu raised his Dragonscale Staff, and at the tip of the staff, a red gem blossomed with a gentle yet blood-colored radiance.
Strands of flames revolved around the mage army, but those weak elemental flames simply weren't in the eyes of the Wolf Riders.
But if an alchemist was looking down from the sky, they would definitely flee as far as they could. Those flames didn't just look like a rotating storm, they were actually an array!
Using pure flames to replace the many patterns of the array, every mage was a key energy node. These mages had the same mana source, the same Magic Conducting Rune, and the same Core Meditation Art. If they used flames as a transmission, they would be able to perfectly operate an array to a large extent.
This was the reason why the strongest mage army used the same Core Meditation Law Set and the same Magic Conducting Rune. The power displayed by the mage army would increase to an unimaginable level.
The Black Iron Beastmen's Wolf Riders rapidly approached, and everyone could smell the sour and bloody smell coming from the Black Iron Beastmen.
The George Family was also ready to personally make a move after Merlin's mage army was destroyed.
But at this time, Xiuban, who had been rushing out, smacked his lips in fear and stood there motionlessly with Carnage on his shoulder.
Kurumu waved his Dragonscale Staff when the Wolf Riders were thirty meters away and some of the Black Iron Beastmen had already started slashing with Aura Slashes.
In an instant, the wisps of elemental flames surrounding the Mage Army seemed to have exploded, and expanded by a hundred times.
A huge pillar of fire more than fifty meters in diameter soared into the sky. All the Mages seemed to be enveloped by a hundred-meter-tall flaming storm.
Runes lit up in the flames, and the huge firestorm descended from the sky, greedily absorbing all the fire elements in the surroundings. When it landed on the ground, it turned into a terrifying pillar of fire that extended hundreds of meters in diameter.
The blades of those Wolf Riders turned into a screen of blades, and scarlet Aura surged out. It was as if the crisscrossing blades had turned into a barrier that enveloped them.
After the boundless flames fell, it was like a stream of water washing over a boulder, seemingly unable to cause any damage to them at all.
"Stupid Humans, you are courting death! Do you think this kind of attack can reach the great Black Iron Beastmen?"
The leading Black Iron Beastman Sword Saint angrily shouted, and his blade danced in the air. His body was emitting a dense Aura that blocked all the flames. Those terrifying flames that could even distort space couldn't cause any damage to him.
Even the George Family in the distance started coming over, ready to clean up the mess.
But Lin Yun was still calm. A sneer appeared on Kurumu's face, and the light on his Dragonscale Staff flickered once again.
Runes appeared on the bodies of these mages, and in an instant, the Black Iron Beastmen that had been stopped twenty meters away were trapped in place by the sudden change.
The streaks of scarlet Dou Qi Slashes had only traveled more than ten meters when they were completely obliterated by the boundless flames around them. The huge flaming pillar that stretched for hundreds of meters suddenly shrunk at this moment.
Countless runes revolved within, and the flames started rapidly revolving. The flames that had been falling from the sky transformed into a tornado filled with countless Flame Blades that crazily wreaked havoc on everything in sight.
The ground was instantly flattened by over a meter, and the earth was burnt to ashes that were swept into the sky.
As for the Wolf Riders that had just been crazily charging forward, they couldn't rush out of the Fireblade Storm with their terrifying momentum.
The Wolf Riders were swinging their blades, their Aura surging to the peak as they wanted to rush out of that terrifying Fireblade Storm.
However, the Fireblade Storm around them had a powerful binding force, making their speed as slow as a snail's. There was no way for them to accelerate.
The wolves they were riding were the first to be threatened, and their fur was rapidly scorched black. As the Flame Blades swept past, a large number of terrifying wounds appeared on their bodies.
In just two seconds, a Black Iron Beastman was forced to leave his wolf's back, and in an instant, that wolf was engulfed in flames. That powerful magic beast's body was instantly torn apart by the Fireblade Storm, and the shattered corpse was instantly burned to ashes.
After a second, the first Black Iron Beastman's Aura defense and blade defense were broken through, and his powerful body was instantly covered in scorch marks. Fine cracks appeared on the surface of his body, and he looked like a glass statue that could shatter at any time.
After four seconds, all the Black Iron Beastmen under the Sword Saint realm had reached their limits, and under the lead of the dozen Sword Saints, they decisively gave up on the idea of continuing their charge and instead tried to break out of the encirclement.
Then, the terrifying transformation continued. Those densely packed fire blades slowly turned dark red. Then, these dark red fire blades surged out like a large number of bubbles from the bottom of the sea.
They exploded one after another. "Bang, bang, bang …"
Numerous explosions echoed, and the traces of the Black Iron Beastmen could no longer be seen. Within a hundred meters, it was as if they had entered the most vile purgatory of Hell, and a boundless aura of destruction was being emitted from within.
The Black Iron Beastmen's miserable screams and enraged roars seemed to be drowned out by the numerous explosions that could make anyone's scalp explode.
Blurry and distorted silhouettes kept flickering within the flames, and after no less than five seconds, an eight-meter-long blade light flashed within the Flaming Storm, opening a path for all the Black Iron Beastmen to escape.
Over thirty battered and exhausted Black Iron Beastmen rushed out, their bodies covered in burn marks. But their companions, the wolves, hadn't been able to escape the Blazing Storm alive.
They had lost more than half of the Expert Swordsmen, as well as two 2nd Rank Sword Saints, and they were eternally trapped in this terrifying Firestorm.
But it wasn't over yet. As these people escaped, the Flame Blades within the Firestorm burst out from the gap they had opened.
In the blink of an eye, the Flame Blades in the Flaming Storm erupted from this direction at once.
That Flaming Storm was bound by the effects of the array. It was as if it could explode at any time, but it was bound by a glass cover. As long as an opening was made, the power within would naturally burst out from that opening.
This was the final trump card!
How could the Black Iron Beastmen that were fleeing in such a sorry state think of this? They hadn't expected that every step would pave the way for the next step, and that the strongest attack would actually come after they escaped.
They hadn't expected it, so they naturally had to swallow this miserable outcome.
The burst of flames washed over them in an instant, and the five Black Iron Beastman Sword Saints that had been able to resist the Firestorm were instantly submerged in the flames.
The scarlet Aura they had burst with dimmed in an instant, and they didn't even have time to scream before being turned to ashes by the flood of flames.
The huge flood of flames instantly washed over several hundred meters, and it looked as if a several-hundred-meter-long, several-dozen-meter-wide, and eight-meter-deep river had been carved out of the earth.
The river was filled with burnt traces, and black smoke kept coming out of it.
Including those five Sword Saints, there were still ten Expert Swordsmen who had been buried in that final attack.
After all, that final attack was the result of the combined power of fifty mages, the weakest of which was a 9th Rank High Mage. The Firestorm had been continuously accumulating power for the most powerful attack!
That attack was definitely comparable to the attack of a 9th Rank Archmage!
Its power wasn't inferior to some 8th Tier Spells!
This was why Lin Yun had spent so much effort to nurture this army of fifty mages. In a war, unless a person's power transcended another realm, relying on a mage army would be the most efficient way to obtain the greatest results.
Unless one was a Heaven Mage, they wouldn't be able to achieve such a result so easily on this battlefield.
If a Heaven Mage had appeared, would these Black Iron Beastmen have come to throw away their lives?
The remaining dozen Black Iron Beastmen no longer had any thoughts of fighting to the death.
All the Black Iron Beastmen were very brave and didn't fear death, but they weren't fools. They already knew that if they died here, their tribe would suffer a terrible fate. Their tribe would be thoroughly exterminated.
There was still a trace of hope if they led their tribe to escape. As long as their tribe wasn't exterminated, they would definitely retaliate one day.
