YM778.TV Chapter 445 Return
Patriarch Leon mobilized the members of his clan to deal with the swarm of insects that were chasing the Celestials Beings.
With the skills of his clan members, there shouldn\'t be any problem facing a swarm of insects. However, he knows that it wouldn\'t be that simple considering a group of Celestials Beings has to flee from them.
\'These insects are probably venomous ones… and since this is a different continent, there are many weird creatures unknown to us… I hope that using normal Fire Element will be enough…\' Leon mused as he didn\'t really like the idea of sending his elite squad in front.
Vincent should first send some cannon fodders to test the strengths of these insects before sending them forward.
Nevertheless, he didn\'t show his unhappiness and just followed his order with a smile on his face.
"The Celestials are going in! Wait for my signal!"
One of the Commanders on top of the city wall announced. Leon recognized him as Lar and he should be the Commander of the Garrison Brigade.
He has a deep impression of this man as he feels that he isn\'t a normal Grand Knight… The aura he exudes was quite similar to a Celestial Being albeit extremely weak. He couldn\'t probably explain it since it was the first time he felt something like this.
Of course, he didn\'t mention this to others since he\'s the only one with a special ability to detect such minuscule detail… and no one would probably believe him.
He shifted his gaze back to the front and as soon as the Celestial Beings were getting close to the gate, he heard Lar\'s command.
"Release!"
As soon as this command was heard by the magicians, they finally controlled their Mana Arts to throw at the swarm of insects…
A rain of Fire Elemental Mana Arts blocked the path of the insects and the smell of burned insects started spreading everywhere.
Nevertheless, the swarm is extremely huge that could cover the entire city together with the mountain range beside it…
It means that burning the ones in front is not enough…
"Continue!"
Lar shouted as he knows that this is the only thing they can do for now…
Whooshh! Whoooshh! Whooshh!
Several Fireballs were thrown as the heat started affecting the magicians on top of the city walls. Unfortunately, they can\'t stop!
The swarm is still continuing to surround the city and they know that the Barrier won\'t be able to last that long if they did nothing…
Soon, Leon noticed that the ground is vibrating… It was followed by the roaring sound of the engines coming from five aircraft from within the city!
\'What are those?\' Leon can tell that those aircraft weren\'t for transporting passengers or cargo… They were emitting a deadly aura as if they can be used to fight against a Celestial Being!
Furthermore, he can tell that only two Magic Knights are piloting each aircraft!
Not even an Adept Mage!
It means that the deadly aura wasn\'t coming from the pilots but from whatever weapon was mounted on them!
Soon, his questions about the power of these flying ships were answered.
The five of them formed a "V" formation and flew above the swarm of insects before dropping two large "bullets" at their center. A total of 10 was dropped and it wasn\'t that fast or slow…
If they will compare it with the bullets used with the handgun, they are probably a hundred times bigger so it was quite easy to see.
Many of them were curious about this but as soon as they reached the center of the swarm, Leon realized that these things were bombed!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He didn\'t know how Vincent\'s engineers did it but the explosion is definitely comparable to Tier 5 Mana Arts!
Each bomb would cause a terrifying explosion that would make the earth tremble…
Furthermore, Leon noticed that they weren\'t exploding upon contact with the ground. They exploded mid-air causing more destruction to the hornets…
Just from this attack, he can tell that more than 50% of the insects were crushed… Not even Beast Cores remained from them…
"Hahaha! Look at that! We\'re strong!"
"Incredible… I only heard it from the first battalion but it\'s really true…"
"If we have this against the Dragon Riders again, they\'re definitely going to die…"
"It\'s better to use them on those tough barbarians… Ugh… Those disgusting creatures are too durable…"
"Hey! It\'s not over yet! Get ready for another bombardment of Fire Elemental Arts!"
"Yes, Sir!"
The soldiers relaxed for a bit after seeing the powerful attack from those five airships…
Although this airstrike can only be done once since they don\'t have any more bombs, it was still a great help so Lar felt a lot more confident dealing with this attack.
***
Vincent nodded with a smile after seeing the successful airstrike from the five Tempest I.
"Good... Good… I should continue making those missiles…" He muttered with excitement as he saw the massive explosion and the destruction caused by his new invention.
He felt satisfied with it although there is still plenty of room for improvement.
The bombs that were used just now wouldn\'t be possible to make without the special materials from the Sea Race.
Normally, bombs created by Magic Crafters use Magic Beast Core to trigger an explosion. It means that the strength of bombs will depend on the stored mana within the core itself.
However, the ones he created uses a special fuel that can only be found deep in the sea.
That\'s right, these bombs can also be called incendiary shells with some adjustments that would make them incredibly stronger.
He probably would have to thank the Star Garden Peak for disturbing the Sea Race so he was able to get connected with these creatures who have plenty of resources that wouldn\'t be normally found in the land.
The only problem about this missile is that they don\'t have a guiding system… They would literally just drop these bombs and trigger them once they are near the target or just wait for them to make contact with the target.
"We\'ve returned…"
While the knights and magicians were still busy fending off the remaining insects, Luna and Rem arrived in front of him bringing the other seven Celestial Beings they recruited.
