The Great War of Rhodesia

22. Invasion of Opponent III

"Is that a ship?" said a knight Augra did not believe from behind binoculars at the mouth of the valley.

"Ships floating in the air?" the other knight who was also not as trusting as what he saw.

"Whatever that thing is, it's definitely not a bird." This time the general spoke. He also observed the floating object through binoculars. "Drop that thing, Lanar," he ordered then after lowering the binoculars from his presence.

And without making a sound to answer, the female knight again raised her bow and started aiming.

While above Berunda, the Yllgarian and purihr soldiers began to look busy and prepared on the second deck. While the crew began to busy inspect the damage received by the ship.

"The witches are ready to make protective magic." There was a voice reporting from behind the iron funnel next to the steering wheel inside the bridge.

"Home only. The arrow of Epirus will still penetrate it." Val refutes.

"really. We need a layer of Protective Magic. Or at least an artificial Magic Formation to withstand the attack of that Mystical Weapon." Solas shared his opinion.

"I don't think Epirus is in human hands." Ymone was seen shaking slowly staring at Val.

"I'm sure I left it safely in the Yllgarian settlement at the far west two hundred years ago." Val gave an explanation as if in self-defense.

"Does that weapon belong to a god tier like Oboros or Vajra? How's power?" Aksa looked curious as well as excited.

"The power of Epirus' magic attack is directly proportional to the distance of its target." Val answers.

"Wow, that's brilliant. How did you get the idea of making a weapon like that?" reply Aksa with sarcastic tone.

"But right now I hate to admit that you're a great gun maker, Val" Nata said.

"Aren't you able to turn off that weapon with some kind of Soul Stream EMP magic like back then, Val?" Aksa asked again with hope.

"Too far, and it will take a long time to use that magic," Val replied shattering Aksa's hopes.

"What about the anti-gun weapon? You must've made a counter-weapon, right?" Aksa seemed to have not given up on finding a way out for his current situation.

"Yes, Oshun. But the shield is not in my hands now." And once again Val breaks Aksa's hopes.

"Did you like to make things and just leave them somewhere, Val?" aksa was upset.

And yet Val had time to reply, the sound of the screams of one of the Yllgarian warriors cut through their conversation.

"The attack came again. Get ready!"

The witches had already started making Protective Magic from behind the inner hull wall, on the second floor just below the upper deck. And just rely on the small windows to ensure their magic positions outside the ship.

It was done so that they remained safe from lightning strikes on the top deck.

But even so some orange arrows still managed to rain down the side of the ship. Tearing apart the Protective Magic installed in front of the hull wall was very easy, and left behind a considerable hole mark.

"If this is the case, they'll be eyeing the balloon for a long time. We have to go up to avoid." Aksa looks worried.

"No, not up" Nata said. "But forward," he added later.

"Are you already..." Aksa stopped her speech as she looked at Nata who was smiling. "Oh, right too, '" he continued when he had just understood the meaning of his best friend's words.

"You sure?" This time Morgana asked worriedly.

"The way to deal with Epirus is indeed by shortening the distance." Val confirmed the decision Nata made.

"But, that means we'll take their attacks directly."

"Although it might not help much, but we will deploy the magicians to create Protective Magic layered on the front of the ship. Techniques once used by the Urbarians to deal with harpoon fire." Nata tried to explain his plan. "Yes, at least it will give us a little protection in shortening the distance" he added.

"At the same time when we point the ship forward, it means only a small part that we need to protect." Aksa gave his response.

"What are you waiting for?!" exclaim Murrel then.

And after receiving orders and directions from Nata, the Skipper deftly rotated the position of the Airship, and began to run its propeller faster. While the witches on the second deck began chanting to create a layer of protective magic.

.

"I think they already know about Epirus." Lanar looked a small smile looking at the figure of the Airship that looked petite due to that position. "Close to installing a layered protector on the front? Easy to guess," he said later.

And after pulling back her bow, the female knight started chanting something.

Now the orange rays of his magic arrows began to look brighter and brighter. Along with that, the size also gets bigger.

And when it was enough, Lanar immediately released the magic arrow towards the approaching Airship quite quickly.

Which then suddenly the magic arrow was split into hundreds of similar arrows while in the air. Although still driving in groups towards its target.

.

"Prepare, the attack comes again. And this time it seems to be quite strong" Murrel said as he looked at the collection of orange light between the dark skies before him.

"Are you kidding me? Is that a magic missile?" Aksa did not seem to believe what he saw.

"The Guardian Magic won't be able to withstand the attack this time."

"I don't think we're gonna be in any danger right now. Seeing that we are far from the battlefield." Yvvone seemed to shake with a slightly disappointed look.

"Do you Elves have no fear and no worry? Quickly do something before the magic missile hits us." Aksa already looked very panicked and scared.

But before the others had time to act, Lily deftly jumped out of the Bridge. Moving agilely avoids the electric flashes from Tesla Coil, and heads to the end of the bow.

Then without a doubt the tiny rabbit leaped forward from the end of the bow with the magic wand pointed forward. It was seen that a bright white magic circle began to form at the end of his magic wand. Before then it let out a glittering white light that looked like a marble pillar from the temple of the Holy Girl.

The light magic was deliberately shot by Lily to block the attack of the magic arrows that lead to the Airship.

And succeeding, the two magic exploded in space when they clashed with each other. Which made a loud explosive sound to shake both sides of the cliff. Surprised all those who were below him.

The air pressure from the explosion pushed Lily's tiny body back onto the deck. It was seen that the bunny girl rolled over a few times before then returning to her standing in her prepared position.

Realizing this, Aksa immediately grabbed the electric generator switch at the end of the room to turn off Tesla Coil. In order for electricity not to grab Lily who was standing nearby.

"Oh, that was almost once."

"Yvvone, for the common good, please use your and your brother's wind magic to encourage this ship to move even faster." Nata soon did not act quickly to deal with their current situation.

"Yes, I think that's a good idea. Come on, Ymone, Ares" said Yvvone, taking his brother and sister-in-law before running out of the bridge.

"I help you" Talos said following Yvvone out. It was followed by Solas behind him.

"I didn't think I'd see such a magic explosion" said Wedge, who had already stood up and retrieved his weapon that had been unleashed as he was propelled by the air pressure from Lily's previous magic explosion.

"Yes, I also did not expect to see the power of Light Magic on such a scale as before" replied Helen who had also re-installed her horses, although it appeared that some of the opposing forces were still not all standing from the sweep of the wind the result of the previous explosion.

Helen, Wedge, and several members of the Elite Army, as well as several Augra warriors, had been knocked down because they were not far below the explosion of Light Magic.

"All right, then. I think it's time we finish this war. Before things got worse" Wedge then gave me an idea. His hand clasped tightly back to his gun.

"You're right. With the release of the current form of Procrastination, the possibility of the opponent's fighting spirit will increase. We must put an end to this war." Helen agreed with Wedge's proposal.

Then quickly the female knight turned her gaze observing the surrounding situation, before starting to shout out loudly.

"Listen to the Rhapsodian Army! White Lightning is with us now. Victory is on our side. So, exert your strength to repel the opposing forces!"

And Helen's speech was answered with a roar of screams from the troops of Rhodesia who began to push back the army of Augra.
