Saine's magical messages were very short; after all, in a war of this magnitude, there wasn't much time for him to socialize or catch up. →

Besides briefly explaining his purpose, Saine's magical message was followed by a series of coordinate information.

The Wizard Civilization Legion has explored most of the situation in the Azure Flame Trench. At least the Surface World conditions and coordinates of various locations have been updated in real time to the Crystal Ball of each participating Mage.

Sylph was able to easily locate the area near the Silver Fortress where Saine and his companions were currently fighting, using the coordinates.

Faced with Saine's plea for help, Sylph hesitated for a moment before flicking her white fingers. Under her control, the fifteen Magic Guided Cannon located on the west side of the Space Fortress slowly turned in a different direction.

In fact, the notice issued by the fortress was that the main artillery fire zone of the Wizard Civilization would be the area where two 10,000- Mage formations were engaged in fierce battle on the front of the Azure Flame Trench.

The fighting there was far more intense than on the flank where Saine and his men were located, and the importance of the main battlefield was far greater than that of the flank.

However, this order was not mandatory. As a first- Level-1 Magician in the fortress's fire control center, Sylph could not control others, but she still had a great deal of autonomy over the dozen or so Magic Guided Cannon under her command.

This is also why, in the early stages of the war, Sylph showed goodwill to Saine and promised to help him.

Sylph did not intend to refuse Saine's request; one could say her actions were indeed a bit pragmatic.

But then again, why would anyone help you if there's no benefit to it?

As long as these fifteen fortress beams cover the area of Silver Fortress where Saine is located, this favor will be owed. →

While deploying the fortress's Magic Guided Cannon, Sylph didn't forget to reply to Saine with a message.

Sylph's reply was also brief and concise; when Saine picked up the Crystal Ball, he only saw a short time.

After putting away the Crystal Ball, Saine Mental Strength transmitted his voice to the Level-2 Female Magician not far from him. "After three hourglasses, fifteen beams of fortress Magic Guided Cannon will be fired at this place three times!"

"Alright!" The Level-2 Female Magician had no doubts and a hint of joy appeared on her face upon hearing Saine's answer.

An hourglass represents one minute, Saine was able to summon long-range fire support three minutes later in a short time, which made this Level-2 Female Magician look at Saine with new respect.

At this moment, the female Mage's wide hood, which had previously concealed her face, had been completely removed in the fierce battle, allowing Saine to see her face clearly.

This is a female Mage with an ordinary appearance, but an intellectual air about her.

Saine knew quite a few female Mage, including Irene, Sylph, and his mentor Luluman; all of them were women.

Among Mage, one with exceptional beauty.

Although the Level-2 Female Magician in front of me was of average appearance, her intellectual and Qi Refining, which she displayed during the war, was still impressive.

Saine couldn't help but glance at her again. Whether it was the angle or Saine's focus was just unusual, he noticed a small, bright red pimple on the corner of the female Mage's mouth.

The female Mage originally gave off a rather plain impression, but the red pimple added a touch of allure to her appearance. →

In the chaos of the battlefield, such thoughts merely flashed through Saine's mind.

He didn't think much of it, and the Level-2 Female Magician was also preparing her magical spices and spellcasting, and she didn't notice Saine's gaze either.

The only explanation for this situation seems to be that Saine hasn't been with a woman in a long time.

So much so that he could notice this even on the battlefield.

Or perhaps the intense and deadly Plane War forced even Mage like Saine, known for his composure and erudition, to want to unleash his pent-up emotions under the pressure of external forces?

Irene, a first-level female Mage was acquainted with Saine, said something thought-provoking before Saine set off for the expedition.

Irene, who was probably participating in the Plane War for the first time, also felt immense pressure and wanted to vent.

Or perhaps, Saine's behavior at the time touched the softest spot in Irene's heart.

The specifics of these situations will naturally be revealed one by one after the war ends.

Saine's main focus and energy are still on the war.

As time passed, like a sand in an hourglass, Saine no longer thought about red pimples or any other delusions.

The Sun's Eye Magic took shape as Saine chanted rapidly, and six lifelike emerald green eyes appeared behind Saine.

At the same time, the magic stored within the mask and Magic Staff of Saine was also ready to be unleashed.

Two Metal Discs beneath his feet emitted a buzzing vibration.

When fifteen Energy Beam of different colors finally shot towards this spot from the sky, Saine moved!

However, even faster than Saine was the Level-2 Female Magician from the Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower!

A Elemental Light appeared, Bright Yellow Lotus that had already achieved considerable success reappeared on the battlefield.

The actions of the Level-2 Female Magician also attracted great attention from the silver construct fortress above.

The Nesser Civilization Creature in the fortress were already extremely wary of this Level-2 Female Magician. Almost as soon as she made her move, a dense barrage of energy rays rained down on her.

"Boom!" A violent explosion echoed throughout the surrounding battlefield.

However, the situation on the battlefields in the Azure Flame Trench was extremely intense at this time. Whether it was elemental magic or energy rays, the commotion was extremely large. Constructed Magic Puppet were crashing in the sky from time to time, and even two War Airship of the Wizard Civilization made an emergency landing from the side with thick smoke.

Therefore, the commotion caused by the battlefield where Saine and others were located was not particularly noticeable compared to the surrounding battlefield.

Although it was an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield, it was extremely inspiring for Saine and his team.

The aerial Space Fortress provided fire support, which was combined with the Elemental Fire Lotus, a trump card of the Level-2 Female Magician below, and various spells from more than ten level Level-1 Magician, including Saine.

The Silver Fortress, which had stood like a tough nut to crack in front of Saine and his men, was finally reduced to ruins under the barrage of firepower.

In the Space Fortress, Sylph agreed to a three-round barrage of fortress artillery fire.

In fact, by the time the second salvo ended, the silver construct fortress had been essentially silenced by the Wizard Civilization's barrage of fire.

Saine and the others waited until the third round of artillery fire ended before charging toward the Silver Fortress.

The Level-2 Female Magician surrounded by yellow light was the fastest, and Saine was the second Mage to enter the fortress ruins.

The interior of the Silver Fortress was in complete disarray. Apart from some bright red limbs, flesh, and debris, the most common sights were devices and weapons of the Nesser Civilization that Saine did not recognize.

The Level-2 Female Magician glanced at Saine, and then a beam of elemental light shot out from her palm, heading straight for the center of the ground inside the fortress.

The elemental beams possessed such strong penetrating power that they melted away all the waste and silver metal they touched.

In just a moment, a gap forcibly melted by the Element Power appeared in front of Saine.

The opening was created by Level-2 Female Magician on the outside, but inside there is a long, narrow passage that emits a faint white light, clearly built by Nesser Civilization Creature.

Perhaps it was Saine's previous performance in calling for fire support from the Space Fortress that made this Level-2 Female Magician value him somewhat.

Instead of rushing into the pale White Passage, she said, "Although there will be some gains inside the fortress, the real treasures should be inside."

The harvest the Level-2 Female Magician mentioned from inside the fortress should refer to the Nesser Civilization's constructed cannons and Energy Crystal boxes hidden beneath the surrounding ruins.

Saine glanced at the surrounding ruins but said nothing.

However, when the Level-2 Female Magician took the lead and flew towards the pale White Passage below, Saine followed closely behind.
