Chapter 1923: Chapter 1084: The Turbulent Fortress Offensive and Defensive Battle_2

Is it possible that such an ancient spell, requiring a special scroll to cast, was so easily broken by the opponent?

“Damn it, how did that despicable otherworlder manage it?”

Sir William’s usually dignified face finally showed a hint of exasperation, and his expression turned grim.

“My King, this is…”

Among the astonished crowd, only the Holy Knight Commander Jered, who had remained silent, took a deep breath before asking, “What should we do next?”

“What else can we do? While they haven’t caught their breath, deploy all the battle airship troops and flatten them directly!”

Sir William slammed the armrest of the throne with a cold smile on his lips: “Right, have those scoundrels ready too; their time for revenge has come.”

“As you command.”

Hearing the term “scoundrels,” Jered’s brow furrowed slightly but then he went to execute the orders.

Meanwhile, on our Sunset Fortress’s city wall, there was naturally a scene of jubilation.

“Long live the Prince! Long live Prince Leo Ray!”

Almost all the soldiers were loudly cheering for Leo Ray’s noble title.

Just now, it was indeed Leo Ray who used an ordinary Tier 5 Magic Scroll “Holy Light Judgment” to defeat the Golden Giant.

As for why the Golden Giant, originally immune to various attacks, was so easily defeated by Leo Ray, we must go back five minutes.

Five minutes ago, as Leo Ray was contemplating countermeasures, observing the ever-clearer cracks on the Absolute Defense Barrier and the Giant’s frenzied punches,

the elder Bryan suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly approached Leo Ray.

“Your Royal Highness, I know why this Golden Giant is immune to various attacks.”

The old yet anxious voice of Bryan echoed in Leo Ray’s ears.

“Oh? Please, Bryan, go on.”

Leo Ray’s eyes brightened, and he hurriedly inquired.

“Because it’s a special type of ancient spell.”

Bryan’s old and solemn voice continued: “To be more precise, this special type of ancient spell is known as the Power of Divine Grace.”

“The Power of Divine Grace?”

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Leo Ray immediately inferred its meaning from the first two words and exclaimed, “You mean this is a spell that can only be cast using the power of the Chosen Son of God?”

“Correct, it’s precisely because this Golden Giant contains the power of divine grace that ordinary spells and attacks can’t easily defeat it.”

Bryan nodded heavily and replied: “In other words, only Your Royal Highness, who can wield the power of divine grace, has the ability to destroy it!”

“So, does that mean there’s also an opponent in Grim Kingdom’s camp who can use the power of divine grace?”

Leo Ray suddenly understood, nodded, furrowed his brows, and said.

“Not necessarily, Your Royal Highness might not know, but as long as they utilize a special magic scroll of divine grace, this spell can be cast even without the Chosen Son.”

Bryan’s old voice sounded again: “In my opinion, Grim Kingdom likely accidentally obtained a means to perform this divine grace spell and the divine grace scroll, and they might not even know it’s an ancient secret technique that only the Chosen Son can use.”

“Understood, the immediate priority is to defeat this Golden Giant.”

Leo Ray looked at the deteriorating Absolute Defense Barrier overhead and immediately asked, “What should I do?”

“Your Royal Highness, this Golden Giant is evidently at Tier 5 level, and theoretically, a non-Tier 5 Chosen Son can’t easily defeat it.”

Bryan didn’t beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: “However, if you infuse the power of divine grace into a Tier 5 attack magic scroll, the spell sealed within will receive the blessing of the divine grace power!”

“I know what to do.”

At this point, Leo Ray immediately found the recently upgraded “Holy Light Judgment” and used holy light to counter holy light, successfully shattering the Golden Giant.

During the infusion, Leo Ray also consumed a large amount of divine grace power, but since the Divine Grace Badge had long surpassed its limits, becoming a True Divine Favour Insignia, it allowed Leo Ray to manipulate the divine grace power at will, so everything was naturally done with ease.

“The Lord is indeed extraordinary!”

The scene returned to the present, as Leo Ray easily shattered the Golden Giant and saw the formerly wobbly Absolute Defense Barrier become energy-filled again, the surrounding subordinates cheered heartily.

“Do not let your guard down; this life and death battle is far from over.”

Leo Ray, still solemn, nodded at his subordinates and commanders, saying, “Everyone, return to your positions; the real trial has just begun.”

Sure enough, no sooner had Leo Ray’s words fallen.

The battle airship troops, which had remained in the sky, began moving, rapidly advancing toward us.

In an instant, the rumbling sound of the magic engines echoed across the skies.

At least a thousand massive battle airships, arranged in formations of arrowheads, approached in waves, blotting out the sky and sun, with an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Everyone clearly understood that if such a large-scale battle airship were to drop alchemy bombs, along with the unrelenting ground onslaught, the Absolute Defense Barrier would likely collapse entirely.

When that happens, the fortress would undoubtedly be engulfed by unending flames and scorching, turning it into a complete purgatory.

“Anti-air legion, ready!”

Seeing the overwhelming scene, Isaac’s old face was filled with gravity, not daring to show the slightest negligence, and he immediately issued the pre-battle order: “Activate all the Sky Thunder Network into charging state, ready to deploy over the fortress at any time!”

Upon hearing the call of the Lancaster Master, a tempest rose on the city walls, and high-pitched chants sounded continuously.

Clad in blue magic robes, the Lancaster mages, looking solemn, began casting group spells by teams.

Before long, one after another, impressive magic barriers unfolded in the air, and glimmering magic wands pointed skyward, aimed at the direction of the oncoming battle airships.

The glow of the magic arrays illuminated the resolute and determined faces of the mage soldiers, who wore standard magic hats.

Meanwhile, atop the inner city walls, the spires of the magic towers faintly shimmered with lightning and displayed significant magical fluctuations.

Seeing everyone prepared, Isaac’s aged face showed no sign of relaxation, knowing well as the leader of the Lancaster Clan.

Even the combined power of the anti-air legion and the Sky Thunder Network could not stop such a massive fleet of battle airships, at most intercepting thirty percent, or even less.

After all, the enemy fleet was too large; although limited magic power prevented them from supporting robust Absolute Defense Barriers like the ground forces, they had their own shield systems, far from being fragile vases.

Moreover, there were a thousand of them.

Noticing the faint tension on Isaac’s old face, knowing well our aerial defense capabilities, Leo Ray clenched his fists tightly as he understood it too.

During the defense of Galaxy City, his transformation into a Dragon Knight and defeat of the sky pirates was no longer a secret; the enemy must have assessed his combat strength and destructive power in detail.

This meant the enemy might have already devised a countermeasure for the Red Night.

In other words, even if the Dragon Knight were to take action again, it would never be as smooth as before; he might even end up walking into a trap.

Facing the ever-closer formation of enemy airships, Leo Ray could clearly feel it.

The tension among our soldiers around him was visibly heightened again, with some soldiers’ hands slightly trembling as they gripped their bows and wands.

The immense pressure of over a thousand massive battle airships was akin to facing a colossal dragon group charging.

“In any case, there’s no longer room for hesitation now.”

“Even knowing there’s a trap ahead, I must not stop, or I will only meet death waiting aimlessly.”

“If they want to push me to the brink, they must first ask my sword if it agrees.”

As this thought crossed his mind, Leo Ray, under the pretense of inspecting the magic tower, quietly left the scene with the Red Night.

Before long, accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar from the sky, a massive silhouette slowly emerged over the distant mountain peaks.
