"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Dense and extremely powerful Energy Beam caused rows of slave creatures surging towards the mountain ridge to fall one after another. →

Not only the enslaved creatures, but even the Mage behind them suffered considerable damage.

The drawbacks of the Magician Legion in this Poison Fire Green Flame World War have finally become apparent as the war drags on.

Under normal circumstances, behind the slave creature cannon fodder are not Mage troops, but Knight legions!

If at this moment, there are more than twenty Knight attacking this fortress, not just the dozen or so Mage like Saine in front of us.

With just one charge from those Knight, their formidable physique and Battle Qi spirit would be enough to tear apart the Silver Fortress defenses in front of them.

Instead of what we see now, where the Mage like Saine have already rushed to a position extremely close to the fortress.

However, under the threat of its firepower, it is still in an awkward situation where it cannot advance further or retreat easily.

Thanks to the Azure Fire Body Tempering Mysteries, Saine's physique has indeed improved considerably during this period, but it is still absolutely incomparable to that of Knight of the same level.

Improving anything takes time; if Saine wants to have the same Elemental True Body as his master, Gagaru, that rivals other Knight of the same level, he will need a long period of training and learning.

Moreover, even if Saine's physique were comparable to that of Level 1 Knight, he would never be the one to "stick his neck out"!

Even a single Knight would have to be cautious when facing this level of firepower.

Without more than ten Knight fighting side by side, and only acting as a lone hero, his fate would only be to be riddled with holes by the Nesser Civilization's construct fortresses.

Ignoring the previously prominent and powerful Level-2 Female Magician, after getting a certain distance, they found it difficult to advance any further and thus avoided the direct fire of the Silver Fortress.

Saine also noticed that the female Mage seemed to be forced to activate her Elemental True Body while avoiding a direct confrontation.

It was an Elemental True Body that was entirely bright yellow. When the energy rays of the Nesser Civilization entered the Elemental True Body, they clearly caused the female Mage to pause, but she still managed to avoid the concentrated fire zone in time and did not perish as a result.

"Rumble!" At this moment, Saine was leaning against a protrusion in the lower part of the mountain wall.

Below lies an endless Magma Sea, and above stands Silver Fortress that continuously unleashes energy rays.

The slave creatures that had been following Saine and the others were almost entirely wiped out in just a short time.

The cruelty of Plane War and the fragility and insignificance of life are laid bare at this moment.

At this moment, there was a thin line of blood on Saine's cheek.

Just now, an energy ray almost grazed his face, instantly tearing a hole in his Magic Shield, and the energy ray continued to shoot behind Saine with undiminished force.

No wonder that Level-2 Female Magician was clearly quite powerful, was unable to make any progress under such a barrage of firepower.

Saine himself, however, has maintained a relatively good condition so far.

However, looking at the Silver Fortress that was still shooting Energy Beam not far above his head, Saine's mood couldn't help but become a little heavy.

"Prepare to retreat. This construct fortress is more troublesome than we can handle, unless I call in more people." The voice of Level-2 Female Magician came from the Crystal Ball.

Just now, it was this female Mage who led the charge and boasted that she could break through this construct fortress.

But now it is she who is the first to propose withdrawing from this battlefield and seeking other opportunities.

Perhaps some Mage would find this female Mage's behavior somewhat laughable.

But Saine didn't think so; on the contrary, he felt that the female Mage had acted appropriately.

If it's that kind of fool who knows it's impossible but still insists on doing it just to save face.

She didn't even need to bring it up; Saine had already retreated on his own.

Sure enough, the sound of sighs and regrets came from the Crystal Ball, emanating from the other Mage around them.

Although everyone felt it was a pity, no one dared to push forward under such circumstances.

Mage are synonymous with wisdom and rationality, so they could naturally see that this heavily fortified Silver Fortress was not something that a mere dozen or so of them could break through.

Saine originally wanted to retreat, but looking at the Silver Fortress above and the Space Fortress not far away, he suddenly remembered something.

"I think we can try again." Saine's voice suddenly came through the nearby Crystal Ball Communication.

The other Mage remained silent, as they were not familiar with each other.

It's also possible that other Mage are waiting for Saine to come up with some effective solution. If he just blindly pushes through, most people will probably just assume he has no idea.

I heard Saine's voice.

Saine wasn't speaking without reason. When he noticed that the Level-2 Female Magician was relatively close to him was also turning her questioning gaze towards him, Saine said in a deep voice, "I can contact the Space Fortress for fire support. If there is fire support from the Space Fortress later..."

"With the fortress's fire support, plus my Elemental Fire Lotus, we can break through this Silver Fortress!" Before Saine could finish speaking, the Level-2 Female Magician interrupted impatiently.

"But the question is, can you really call in fire support from the Space Fortress?" the Second-Level Magician asked.

It wasn't that this Second-Level Magician didn't trust Saine, but rather that unleashing her trump card, the Elemental Fire Lotus, wasn't so easy.

Besides the immense drain on her Mental Strength and Magic Power energy, this powerful fire lotus, possessing the Element Power, also requires some magical spices that she concocts at considerable expense.

As a result, even with the wealth of this Level-2 Female Magician, she was unable to unleash her trump cards without limit in the Plane War.

Furthermore, her attack just now created a crack in the outer shell of the Silver Fortress, so the Nesser Civilization Creature inside must have already noticed her.

Never treat your enemies like fools; if you do, it only proves that you are a fool.

The Energy Beam that this Level-2 Female Magician just endured were more than anyone else imagined; otherwise, she wouldn't have activated her Elemental True Body to evade and retreat.

"It should be possible!" Saine said solemnly.

Fortress aspect

The resistance from the Nesser Civilization Creature in the Azure Flame Trench was more intense than expected.

Besides the formidable Construct Golem Legion on the main battlefield, the Silver Fortress in various areas below also posed a significant challenge to these Wizard Civilization Legion.

The fortress command center was already planning to deploy the last reserve of 10,000-strong Mage formation.

In addition, the long-dormant Space Fortress will once again exert its overwhelming advantage on this battlefield.

Fortress fire control center.

Level-1 Magician Sylph was currently in charge of the fifteen Magic Guided Cannon on the west side of the Space Fortress.

The notification to gather energy and fire has arrived from above. At the same time, Sylph also received a magical message from Saine.
