The Great War of Rhodesia

26. Battlefields

Seeing the incident, Parpera who was behind the Firearms Force immediately acted. "Witch Force, come forward!" his orders ran ahead of the others.

And that Combatant Mage Force that had prepared began to run forward took over the battlefield.

While Parpera who had arrived first among the soldiers lying down from the explosion earlier, immediately raised her magic wand and started chanting something.

And a large, light-blue magic dome formed protecting most of the territory around where the magical woman was standing. The dome protects the soldiers from the magic attacks in the form of fireballs that are still coming.

There were several explosions in the air when the fireballs hit the outer surface of the magic dome belonging to Parpera.

"Prepare to form a formation!" parpera's orders then that don't want to waste time.

And not waiting for long, the magicians immediately took their respective positions and began to chant the Protective Magic in front of the soldiers who were mostly lying down due to the wounds from the explosive magic earlier. The Healers and Healers tried to deal with their wounds.

Parpera cancelled her magic dome when the other witches had finished installing Protective Magic in their respective places. Even the 4 witches had finished making the layered protection magic right in front of where Parpera was standing.

And after the magic dome Parpera has completely disappeared, the woman with the nickname the Moon Witch is back to do another one again. This time high-level attack magic. It took quite some time to prepare for the recording. And for that 4 witches were prepared to protect him.

Then shortly afterwards, heard from behind the line, Biggs shouted to take the lead, commanding the other troops to move.

It looks like he who just bounced back far enough, did not suffer significant injuries. Although blood was seen in his right temple.

And from Biggs' command, several Iron Trains began to move forward from the very rear.

Lucia, along with Jean and the rest of the Rhapsodian Army, observed the course of the war from a distance with the help of binoculars.

"Is Caspian okay?" asked Lucia who looked worried from behind her binoculars.

"Your Majesty need not worry. Caspian won't die with just such explosive magic" Jean replies with a joke to appease Lucia. But unfortunately his half-spoken speech did not reduce Lucia's worries.

"I think the Healers and the Combat Physicians arrived in time" said Lucia again, who tried to calm herself.

"Miss Parpera is indeed deft in taking action. I'm sure the 40 soldiers from the Firearms Force and the 30 Combat Witches and Healers will manage to get rid of the hundred opposing soldiers." Jean chimed.

"Yes, you're right, Jean. It seems like the remaining one hundred of our troops will only go down to take over Dios City." Lucia's starting to calm down a little.

"But I didn't think the boy could come up with the idea of using such a tool to deal with the deadliest Yllagrian group on the Elder's mainland." Jean spoke again as she nodded slowly.

"Yes, and they've been preparing for that for a long time. Even before we took over the Trava Mines if I don't remember it wrongly" Lucia responded. "Nata asked Mr. Evora to test the device," his corpse later. "And fortunately Mr. Couran managed to prepare it and deliver it with the other equipment before we left."

"Yes, but what kept me from thinking was, how could that brat make an object that could make such a shrill sound?" Jean was still filled with curiosity.

Meanwhile on the other side, the fighting spirit of the Vistralle soldiers continued to decline as the Rhodesodia Army managed to block the Explosive Magic attack they released. Plus saw dozens of iron chariots slowly approaching.

"Report, General. It seems like one of their witches is casting a high-level attack magic," a soldier told the General.

"High level magic? Did they use Mystical Weapons?" ask the general to respond.

"Our magician did not detect any Soul Streams coming from the Mystical Weapon, General," the soldier explained later.

"So don't use Mystical Weapons?" It looks like the general is understanding. "Then there is no need to be too ignored. Just order the Magicians to put up a layer of Protective Magic," he continued with orders.

"What matters now are the Iron Trains. How will our soldiers fight him? Even the cavalry will also have trouble dealing with it," said the General expressed his anger.

"But it seems like the Iron Train is only used to move wounded soldiers, General. There are no Iron Trains moving past the limits of the Magic Protectors they made," said one of the knights next to the General trying to express his judgment.

"Fortunately if that's the case. Because we don't carry heavy equipment to deal with their Iron Trains."

Returning to the battlefield, Caspian began to wake up and try to stand up, after a Healer managed to cover part of the wound above his right ear with magic.

With his ears still ringing and head in pain, Caspian tried to circulate his gaze around from behind the 2 magicians who were putting Protective Magic before him. He was trying to read the situation.

Then Biggs approached him. "General? You okay?" ask the big-bodied man to Caspian.

"Yes, I'm fine. What's the situation right now, Biggs?" caspian Responses.

"Miss Parpera managed to dispel the explosive magic attack fired by the opponent." Biggs answered. "And now Miss Parpera is on the counterattack" he continued with the shortest possible explanation.

"Yes, I can see it" said Caspian staring at the figure of Parpera who was seen being focused on casting magic in the distance. "Then bring the severely wounded soldiers into the Iron Train, and command the soldiers who can still fight to form a formation ready to attack, We will go back forward once the Moon Witch has finished removing her magic," then with orders.

"Okay, General!" biggs immediately rushed to continue Caspian's orders.

Caspian is seen repairing his clothes and re-examining his weapons before ordering the Witches and Healers to retreat.

And after that he immediately ran to the area behind Parpera standing up to prepare the troops again.

.

Shortly after the Firearms Army again marched in a ready-to-attack position, Parpera had just finished her magic rendition.

Now the tip of the wand belonging to the witch woman is shining light blue with very bright. And when swung upwards, the light shot rapidly into space.

Then it sounded like the sound of thunder gushed. That made people start to feel uneasy with something that was coming to follow him. Especially the Vistralle Army.

And sure enough, lightning was seen striking several places from the top of the Vistralle Army. That managed to scorch dozens of soldiers and panic the rest.

It was an invitation for Caspian to launch an attack. And not waiting for long, the Great General of Rhapsodia immediately shouted to give the order. "Rhapsodia, Attack!" While running forward with the Rifle in his right hand and the Firearms in his left hand.

Following its leader, the rest of the Firearms Force that was still able to fight, immediately ran towards the opposing army's ranks.

.

A barrage of hot bullets greeted the Vistralle soldiers first, before Caspian and his army approached. And that made the opponent even more frantic and messed up their initial formation.

Coupled with the sabers of swords, spear thrusts, and even the arrows and magic shots of the Vistralle Army were unable to penetrate through the protective clothing of the Rhapsodian Army. Which makes the Rhapsodia Army can survive and even outperform the opposing forces, even though they are outnumbered.

.

Seeing the unfortunate situation, the General of the Vistralle Army immediately decided to retreat to the city of Dios. While the rest of the soldiers who had not had time to escape, seemed to start giving up.

And after making sure that there were no more opposing troops still fighting, Caspian began to raise his hands up. Which was immediately greeted with cheers of joy from his soldiers.
