From his subordinates, Calgurio had received many despairing reports.

By the time Calgurio had linked the dots, he had already realized that he was backed against a wall.

But, it was already too late.

The situation had escalated swiftly.

A new enemy had emerged. That troop was the living embodiment of terror.

Their numbers hardly reach one-tenth of their own, yet they could do nothing against it.

According to the reports of the energy measurement team, there were several individuals with a vast quantity of magical essence within them.

However, the majority of enemy troops, their energy values were comparable to that of their own forces.

There were even further developments.

From within the enemy's impregnable formation, unparalleled wide-scale magic was unleashed.

Due to the strikes from the enemy magic and Youjutsu, there were a great number of causalities in the empire's forces.

The objective of the purple armored troops was to spread unified fear, causing the empire's armies to fall into confusion, eventually noticing the barrier weakening.

It was a display of brilliant cooperation

However, if it was only to this extent, they could still regroup.

when the vanguards begin to collapse, the rearguards could provide support, change positions with the vanguards and regroup.
æ°«æ¼...å"§åçªåªä½æ§æ¤å¯è½ªå¿ å®ä½"æ...
This was possible precisely because of their overwhelming advantage in numbers, a sure-win strategy.

A type of nuclear strike magic, "Gravity Collapse"

Calgurio couldn't understand what he was told.

Precisely because of that, he quickly annihilated the enemy, without a shred of hesitation.
