Chapter 265 [0263] Industrialized Mage Group

Karja didn't know Swain, but he was certain that the team outside the academy wall must belong to Swain.

Summoning a one-eyed man in the air and mobilizing a large army without flags, no one in Noxus can do this except Swain!

Although it is not clear why Swain would bring his army to Piltover, this is definitely very good news for Karja, Lux, and Zaun - Swain's war potential is completely incomparable to that of the Noxian Empire.

"We must not let this army gain a foothold in Piltover." Karja made a quick judgment, "Mage Corps, get on the wall and prepare to cast a spell!"

Through the light signal agreed in advance, Lux quickly conveyed Karja's instructions.

……………………

Zeli took deep breaths again and again. In the dark night, arcs flickered around her, indicating the unrest in her heart.

When she was learning magic, she had experienced simulation training, and even conducted joint simulation training with her classmates.

But it was still the first time for Zeli to actually participate in a battle or even a war.

She was a little nervous.

"Relax, Zeli." She could only remind herself, "Nothing is different, just like usual practice, building the support of the spell model, injecting magic power and..."

As her breathing gradually calmed down, Zeli's heart stopped pounding - and at this moment, the light in Lux's hand began to flicker.

As the leader of the third group, Zeli's attention was focused like a conditioned reflex. Her eyes were fixed on the light in Lux's hand, and she began to count silently in her heart.

"Long, long, short; long, long, short... Prepare to attack! Everyone, arrange in a spellcasting formation, prepare to attack!"

Hearing Zeli's order, the twelve mages in the third group quickly lined up as they did in the past day training. Led by Zeli, they followed the second group and ran to the temporary rack behind the wall.

Quickly distanced themselves from the second group in front, Zeli and her team members estimated the distance between each other with their arms, and finally stood against the wall and took out heavy rune slabs from the backpacks behind them.

The magic circuits engraved on these rune slabs were their "final exam questions" in the second grade and also teaching aids for the third grade. It was with the combination of these magic circuits that they conducted multiple joint simulation trainings.

Although many people's hands were shaking, the members of the third group still put their twelve slabs together. Then, Zeli stretched out her right hand, starting from the first piece and ending with the last piece, and used her index finger to draw along the entire through circuit.

The arc was uniform and the circuit was complete.

After trying again, Zeli finally breathed a sigh of relief and tapped it lightly to light up the entire magic circuit.

The third group was the first to light up.

Then came the first group, the seventh group, the second group...

In less than two minutes, all eight groups lit up their magic circuits.

Then, Zeli poked her head out slightly and saw that outside the wall, the Noxians seemed to be moving again. A team was walking out of the huge army. They stepped on the rhythm of the drums and quickly approached the city wall.

This team walked firmly and silently - they were Swain's guards, veterans who had survived hundreds of battles and made meritorious contributions in the Ionian War.

As Swain's killer, they were all tall and strong. When the attacking team just retreated, they received Swain's order and put on triple heavy armor.

In addition to the conventional black iron plate armor, they covered the outside with a layer of dragon lizard leather armor to enhance resistance to spells, and then put on a layer of chain mail to protect the leather armor.

The multiple armaments made them like mobile fortresses. It was relying on this team that Swain dared to launch a desperate battle in Preshiden on the battlefield of Ionia.

(It's a pity that the extraordinary force of the Ionians is somewhat unreasonable.)

Of course, Zerri didn't know this - she was not afraid of the neatness and solemnity of this army, but was looking forward to it.

Because in the joint simulation training, the best ranking of the third team came from a simulated confrontation with a heavy armor target. At that time, Kalya simulated a weakened version of the Ascendant Guard.

At that time, other teams were tortured by this troublesome heavy armored force with strong magic and physical resistance. Even the seventh team was judged to be unqualified. Only the third team, led by Zerri, used the chain lightning spell to cause effective damage and finally won the overall excellence.

Comparatively, Zerri actually hates those guys who move very fast and run around everywhere. It is easy to have the embarrassing situation of anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes when using powerful electric spells against such targets.

As Zeli was expecting, Lux, with a searchlight, quickly confirmed the situation of this team - this was a heavily armored unit. In addition to heavy armor, they were also uniformly equipped with shields as secondary weapons. The strength of these soldiers was obviously quite amazing. Even with kite shields like door panels and heavy war hammers, they could still maintain a complete formation in rapid maneuvers.

In the bag around each soldier's waist, there was something bulging.

They couldn't be allowed to get close to the wall!

The walls of the academy are fairly strong, but they are still not as good as the city walls. These guys who are fully armed and powerful are sent out at this time. They are either capable of suppressing the firepower on the top of the city or can simply cause damage to the city wall itself. It is too dangerous to let them get close.

Without hesitation, Lux raised her right hand. In the palm of her right hand, a red light lit up and began to flash regularly.

Zheli clearly read Lux's command signal, and then couldn't help grinning and smiling.

"Quick, quick!" Zheli urged loudly, "Get our thunder dragon ready! This time is our strong point!"

Hearing Zheli's words, the other eleven team members relaxed a lot. They were not as bold as Zheli, who could get excited when they went to the battlefield for the first time, but receiving the familiar spell command made them feel a little more relaxed.

According to the usual training, starting with Zheli, they pressed their hands on the magic circuit one by one, and then started their tasks step by step.

The spell model is built!

The spell is stable and maintained!

The spell jamming group is ready!

The spell body is shaped!

The spell energy is filled!

The spell is out of the magic circuit!

The control of the spell is transferred!

On the magic circuit, one after another, the resonant light representing the flow of magic power is lit up. With the cooperation of the twelve people, a spear flashing with arcs appeared in front of them.

As the leader, Zeli finally took over the control of this lightning spear.

In Lux's hand, the frequency of red light flashing is getting faster and faster.

Behind the wall, one magic group after another completed the joint casting - connected through the magic circuit, each person is only responsible for a part of the way, eight groups, in just a few breaths, completed a quite amazing eight war spell-level spells.

When the eight spells were fully formed, Heimerdinger had already stared blankly with his eyes wide open, and couldn't close his mouth!

Although he didn't know these spells, as a Yodel, he could clearly sense the amazing energy in these eight spells.

In the past, Heimerdinger had seen magic groups.

But most of the magic groups Heimerdinger had seen were actually more like "archers using spell volleys". Only a very small number of powerful magic groups could gather magic power together and attack in the form of energy shock.

However, because everyone's magic power is different, this kind of joint spellcasting that gathers magic power and uses it as energy shock also has a great internal loss. Unless it is a strong attack on a large target (such as bombing a city gate, or someone tries to destroy a forbidden magic stone statue), it rarely occurs.

However, this group of magicians in Zaun is completely different from those Heimerdinger has seen. They subdivided the entire spellcasting process, and then formed small groups, each of which was responsible for a part of it, and jointly cast spells through magic circuits...

The result of this is that ninety-six rookie mages have forcibly created eight spells that make people tremble with fear at first sight, and they are even at ease in operating them!

Incredible!

Heimerdinger was trembling with fear, but the Noxians outside the wall knew nothing about it.

Even as these humanoid tanks approached the city wall little by little, Swain, who was commanding from the rear, couldn't help but smile.

After realizing that reinforcements had arrived, confirming that the automatic artillery had failed, and losing the full map hang, Swain decisively chose to mobilize his personal guards in order to take advantage of the fact that the two sides failed to form a coordinated attack and take advantage of the unstable foothold.

In his opinion, the Zauns and the Piltovers would definitely not be able to cooperate closely, and even the two sides would have the effect of one plus one less than two - at this time, attacking and pressuring, it is very likely to take down the academy in one fell swoop, and at the same time deter the Zauns from meddling in other people's business.

Those soldiers had a lot of explosives on their waists. Although he didn't get the Hex crystal in the end due to strict control, those black powder jars buried under the wall, as long as they were detonated, were enough to loosen the entire wall.

After that, the team would work together to smash the city wall with hammers and rush into the academy!

Victory is just ahead!

Swain nodded, and the rhythm of the drums began to speed up.

This elite division of three layers of heavy armor also slid down the glacier of the plateau, moving faster and faster.

The guards who had not yet come down from the wall began to fire sporadically, but with the protection of the kite shield, the Hex revolver that had been invincible before was not very effective.

The bullets rubbed against the kite shield, creating sparks in the dark night.

The few guys who were hit by ricochets or stray bullets in unprotected positions just fell down without a word - and then, his position was replaced by his comrades behind him. During this process, their footsteps were not even a little chaotic.

The inspiring light in Lux's left hand was finally covered with a terrifying shadow at this time. The fingers of the academy guards who saw this scene even trembled when they pulled the trigger. They could clearly feel that they were facing a group of enemies who were not afraid of death!

In panic, someone fired a blank shot.

Then, blank shots seemed to be contagious and began to occur more and more frequently. Several academy guards, out of nervousness and fear, pulled the trigger all the way down, either firing blank magazines or causing the gun to jam.

For a hundred yards, the clicking sound of the firing pin was heard endlessly.

Ninety yards away, the college walls seemed to be shaking slightly.

At eighty yards, the guard's heart beat faster and faster to the beat of the drum.

At seventy yards, someone began to lose hold of the Hex revolver.

Sixty yards, half of the people were shaking so hard that they couldn't replace bullets.

Fifty yards away, the red light in Lux's hand suddenly turned yellow.

Zeli, who had been waiting for a signal for a long time, suddenly stood up - in her left hand, it was like a god half-holding a spear flashing with lightning and electric arcs!

As dark clouds descended on the city, the eight mage groups finally showed their fangs for the first time.

The mutually complementing magical aura is the ultimate harvest of their joint simulation trainings and their near-death encounters!

A thunderous spear swept across the battlefield and connected a large number of soldiers with a lightning chain regardless of armor.

A pair of giant flaming hands melted the soldiers and armors in their palms into a lump of metal.

The high-speed water flow was like an unstoppable sharp blade, cutting neatly into the entire row of warriors.

A gust of violent wind mixed with razor-like ice flakes passed through, leaving only a crystal track.

A pair of tiny clay figures turned into clay giants after touching the ground and swept across thousands of armies with a wave of their hands.

Although the elites who had high hopes still maintained their formation and were not defeated, they had almost no room to struggle in the face of such a terrifying spell.

They cannot counterattack and have no ability to defend.

In the face of such a spell, the Earth Dragon Lizard Leather Armor is no different from a layer of cowhide or pigskin. If you want to resist this level of spells, unless Swain can mobilize a magic group or equip everyone with a suit of rune steel. Armor, dragon skin armor!

Seeing this scene, Swain seemed to have returned to Preidion and the battlefield of Ionia - although the time was different, the place was different, and the enemies were different, but this kind of "I have prepared everything, But the feeling of still being defeated by extraordinary means almost drove him crazy!

Seeing each of the soldiers who had been with him for many years and fought hundreds of battles, and who remained loyal even if they lost their status as soldiers, fell in the light of magic, Swain's eyes finally turned red, and he took a deep breath. , twisted his neck slightly, and looked at the crow on his shoulder that had been silent for a long time.

"I want to try the devil arm."

"Gahaha!" The crow flapped its wings excitedly, "What a wise choice!"

Kalya’s Little Classroom: Decisions in the Battle of Presidion:

In fact, at the tactical level, Swain did not make any omissions in the Battle of Preidion. He mobilized the most elite troops and provided them with the best equipment, intending to break through the Ionian coalition forces that took the initiative and seize the opportunity in one fell swoop. Lower the Presidian Gate.

But it's a pity that he can't defeat Ionia's extraordinary powers alone.
