Chapter 219: Chapter 192: Victory in the First Arena Battle, Becoming the Arena Master, Raking in 2000 Points
Ordinary spells certainly couldnât stop the charge of a thousand-strong Centaur Corps, but if it were large-scale, terrain-altering Magic, then it was a different story entirely!
After one hundred Elf Mages cast the Sixth Level SpellâThorn Jungleâin unison, three sides of the Elf Corps were immediately surrounded by a jungle of thorns three to four meters high. The Thorn Jungle was impenetrably dense. The gaps between its tangled thorns were so tight that it would be difficult for even arrows to penetrate, and not even a Divine Archer would dare boast of being able to shoot through them into the area beyond.
The Elf Mages had cast the Fourth Level SpellâLand Hardeningâon the ground beneath the Elf Corpsâ feet. As for the one remaining side not covered by the Thorn Jungle, the Elf Mages had cast even more Magic upon it:
The Fourth Level SpellâParasitic Seed;
The Fourth Level SpellâSeed Bomb;
The Fifth Level SpellâSinking Ground;
The Sixth Level SpellâAbsolute Defense;
The Seventh Level SpellâGreat Earthquake.
With this, three sides of the Elf Corps were surrounded by the Thorn Jungle, and the ground beneath its feet had also been hardened. Even if the Centaur Corps were to use War Trample, the land would not be easily shattered. Any slight tremor would be of no consequence to the highly trained Elf Warriors!
A Magic Shield blocked the sky, nullifying the Centaur Corpsâ favorite opening attackâa volley of arrowsâjust as Elf Corps Commander Feiyana had predicted. The only remaining front was laced with numerous hidden Delayed Magic spells, which would only trigger when the Centaur Corps stepped into their designated range. When the Centaur Corps stepped into the designated range of the Delayed Magic, the power of each spell would surely make them experience a world of unimaginable pain.
Per Elf Corps Commander Feiyanaâs orders, the Elf Archer units had already split into three squads. In the third squad, the Elf Archers held arrows engraved with Magic Runes. These arrows were an insurance policy. If the Centaur Corps truly managed to charge past the locations of the Elf Magesâ Delayed Magic spells, then these rune-engraved arrows, imbued with various abilities, would undoubtedly give the Centaur Corps a very nasty surprise.
In truth, these Magic Arrows werenât even necessary. The mere fact that she had forged a fortress of steel in just five minutes on the Elf Corpsâ original position, using only the Power at hand, was enough for any observer to deem the abilities of the Elf Corpsâ supreme Conductor as unfathomably profound.
But in Elf Corps Commander Feiyanaâs own eyes, she felt she was still lacking.
After experiencing the great war in the Small Magic Plane, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana had been deeply impressed by the forbidden Magic born from Combined Spellcasting and the Magic Equipment forged at the command of the great God of Nature. These things had taught her a harsh lesson, showing her exactly how to command in a new era of battle.
After this profound period of learning, the tactically reborn Elf Corps Commander Feiyana now possessed a strength in commanding War that was several times greater than before. To put it another way, it was like a young, up-and-coming warrior who, after a few battles, considered themselves a seasoned veteran, only to encounter a grandmaster who had just emerged from seclusion with their divine techniques perfected. The outcome was self-evident.
Forget fighting a Centaur Corps of equal numbers; even if the enemy corpsâ numbers were doubled, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana was confident she could use her one thousand Elf Warriors to crush them completely.
The aura of a brilliant commander is something you can sense. The three instructors in the control room, all battle-hardened veterans, could naturally perceive the exceptional nature of the Elven Conductor on the screen.
Lei Lie folded his arms and murmured, "This Elven Conductorâs skill is something else! An improvised formation, adapted to the terrain. To construct a near-perfect defensive position in such a short time... thatâs not the work of a rookie Conductor, but a seasoned general! How do you even train a member of a Clan to be like that?"
While Nangong Yueâer also noted Elf Corps Commander Feiyana, she was even more astonished by the power of the Elf Mages in this corps. "To cast so many spells at once, and Delayed Trap Spells no less... the mastery these Elf Mages have over Magic is truly staggering! If the Elf Mages in this particular Elf Corps were a hand-picked elite, thatâs one level of impressive. But if there are many more Elf Corps in his Divine Realm, and the Elf Mages in those other corps are also at this level... well, that would be truly terrifying!"
A faint smile appeared on Li Qiongtianâs face as he observed Elf Corps Commander Feiyanaâs command. "Casting targeted Magic the moment she saw the enemy, displaying perfect Calm in Crisis... Itâs in these minute details that you see the true strength of this corpsâ Conductor!"
In the control room, the scales in the three instructorsâ minds had already begun to tip, but the battle wasnât over, and they wouldnât rush to a final judgment.
ăOn the battlefield.ă
After a seven-minute forced march, the charging Centaur Corps was now within sight of the Elf Corps. Through the eyes of the Centaur Chief, Zhao Tianlai saw the Elf Corps waiting in perfect formation, surrounded on three sides by a vast Thorn Jungle. A sudden jolt of alarm shot through his heart.
