Chapter 771  : Alliance BattlefrontAlthough it was quite comfortable to stay in the Forest of Dreams and enjoy its beautiful scenery, this place was only a rare beautiful dream, as its name suggested.

When I exited the forest, I saw the endless battlefield just like before.

Over the previous few days, the eastern battlefront had been relatively “peaceful” since the masters of the Forest of Dreams, the wood spirit residents, had yet to receive orders to attack in full force from their Creator Goddess Amelia.

The main force fighting right now was the wood spirits’ standard army as well as the Contract Heroes’ battle squadrons. Although they had good attack power, their attack patterns were far more geared towards guerilla warfare than regular warfare. Maybe such an allied army could obtain decent combat results, but it would be impossible for them to gain an overall strategic advantage without anyone commanding them.

But, two days ago, a fleet arrived at the Forest of Dreams from the sea. This was Auland’s navy which even started firing its cannons from the shoreline towards the inland battlefront. Their magic cannons had been leveled up many times already, so the cannon shots rained down like meteors and spread large swaths of AOE destruction.

Their firing range even surpassed the frontlines. In fact, the cannons could shoot at places more than 30 kilometers away. For the cannons to reach such a distance, it was the result of divination magic rather than high-level science.

Auland showed off its new ace in this war. The cannons on their ships were assisted by diviners and enchanter mages as they constantly made micro-adjustments for the mega-long distance barrages.

Maybe people from my original world would think that having long-robed wizards and witches dancing in front of cannons to enchant them with additional damage, fire magic, accuracy, and range was something rather comical, but this was considered quite normal to the people of Eich.

Ever since the day that magical engineering was born, it was destined that magical engineering would always be the combination of magic and science.

Auland’s foundational technology was much weaker than Bardi’s as the latter did their very best to keep up with the times. Auland wasn’t as strong due to being a younger country, and thus it didn’t have powerful troop types from ancient times. However, Auland had always been at the top in industry, business, engineering, and alchemy. 10 years after the start of the magical engineering revolution, Auland was now taking an unusual path of war machines.

Numerous ships had anchored themselves in the sea. The ships’ decks began to transform and reveal the cannons stored underneath, and they all simultaneously activated at this time.

Every ship was equipped with several hundred cannons. This fleet containing 22 ships, big and small, fired simultaneously and caused the entire land to reverberate.The current combat situation was quite obvious. The Mage Country, Bardi, and Auland were now going all out against the Lord of Tyranny’s devil army.magic

The eastern battlefront was given over to Bardi, the local force. The western battlefront was left to the alliance of Auland, the Mage Country, and the wood spirits. They were gradually pressuring the undead and devils’ main base, Asolivis.

This time, the alliance had made up its mind to eliminate this major menace.

The Auland fleet would clear out all the devils and undead along the shore, which would then allow the Mage Country’s vanguard to disembark. At that time, the three-way alliance would start attacking Asolivis from the west, while Bardi would keep tangling with the enemy forces in the east.

In such a large-scale battle, individual strength would be of limited use. Powerful individuals would be saved to deal with enemy powerful individuals. It seemed that both sides of this battle were still observing this unwritten rule of the battlefield.

As the battle progressed, powerful individuals would naturally appear to come suppress the ordinary soldiers. That would be the time for the powerful individuals on both sides to appear. Of course, I was the type who was an exception to the rules.

“Actually, won’t this all end if I cast Ice Aeon here?”

I was actually quite hesitant. The enemy’s base was at a fixed location, which made me really want to blow it up with Ice Aeon.

If I incanted my forbidden spell from the Forest of Dreams, it would definitely be almost impossible for the enemy to be able to stop me. Even if they could prepare defenses or escape, clearing this entire battlefield and making way for our alliance’s army was also an acceptable combat result.

“And then you’ll be bedridden on a ship for two months again?”

“That won’t happen again. I’ve reached Level 4 and I have more experience now… I’ll probably recover from being bedridden after just one week.”

“One week? At such a time? Do you think that he would let go of such an excellent opportunity with the current situation?”

“If I was him, I definitely wouldn’t let such a great chance pass by…”

However, I was worried that a certain someone would take advantage of the situation if I was weakened after casting a forbidden spell, which made things a bit difficult for me.

At this moment, the human alliance’s command center contacted me and gave me a highly difficult task. As I was also a member of the alliance, I really couldn’t refuse, especially as others were shedding blood and sweat.
