I Pioneered Scientific Magic - Chapter 422 (Patreon)

Chapter 422: This is a battle that only legendary wizards can participate in; we are just burdens!

"Lord Wizard, shall we head to the City of Fire Oil now?" After gathering the poor on the square, Raydell turned to Anthony and asked.

"Yes, it's better sooner than later. There shouldn't be many defenders in the City of Fire Oil now," Anthony nodded, then added with a smile, "They would never expect us to launch a counterattack now!"

Everything was going smoothly with the plans. The Holy See had deployed its elite forces for tonight's decisive battle, and there should be no more than three thousand defenders in the City of Fire Oil.

Most importantly, the two legendary clerics should be absent, and no one could stop their attack!

"But what about Headmaster Lynn?" Raydell hesitated and asked.

The main enemy forces were diverted, and their side of the battle was indeed going very smoothly, but Raydell couldn't help but worry about the situation on the other side.

With less than two thousand troops on the airship, how could they withstand the assault of the Holy See's fifty-thousand expeditionary army?

"Don't worry, Master Lynn has a plan..." Anthony reassured.

"And in a sense, this is a battle that only legendary wizards can participate in. We are just burdens!" Anthony shook his head, realizing this during the discussions on how to deal with the Holy See's expeditionary army.

The focus of the discussions was on luring the Holy See's legendary clerics to the right locations so that Lynn's new magic could be smoothly cast. After that, the concern shifted to minimizing casualties among their own forces.

The leaders had great confidence in the power of Lynn's new magic, to the extent that they didn't even consider the Holy See's tens of thousands of expeditionary troops.

The decision to use the airship as bait was also because it was faster!

"If everything goes well, we might be able to go back and support, get a glimpse of Master Lynn's new magic!" Anthony said with anticipation.

Raydell was also curious. What kind of magic could give Master Lynn the confidence to defeat legendary clerics capable of casting divine spells and tens of thousands of expeditionary troops...

...

While Raydell led the musketeers to assault the City of Fire Oil, the aerial battle in the sky underwent new changes!

Hundreds of Gryphon Knights were quickly demoralized under the pursuit of the new-style fighter aircraft, scattering in all directions.

Some considered chasing the airship, thinking it might be better to face the enemy and die together. However, without the harassment of the Fire Dragon, they couldn't catch up with these rapidly moving alchemical creations!

Yasos, proficient in shape-shifting magic and possessing flight experience, was selected as the pilot for the first batch of fighter aircraft.

He was quite interested in this new type of alchemical creation. Its speed far exceeded any flying creature he knew, three times that of an airship, to describe it as swift as lightning was an understatement!

Yasos pushed the magic of thermal sensing to the extreme, turning the scattered Gryphon Knights into large red dots, highly visible in the night sky. They just needed to aim and open fire with the machine guns!

Just as Yasos selected the next target, ready to send them on their way, a Gryphon Knight appeared from below, flying towards him.

"Lucky? Going against the tide, quite brave!" Yasos praised, thinking it was one of the Gryphon Knights they had shot down. After healing their injuries, they returned to the sky to join the battle again, and he couldn't help but admire their courage.

Against such enemies, they had to give their all!

Yasos immediately turned to face the oncoming Gryphon Knight. As it approached within three hundred meters, Yasos pressed the control stick, and a fiery tongue burst from the machine gun, a barrage of bullets raining down in the sky...

The large red dot made no attempt to evade, and the sharp machine guns hit squarely!

"Too easy!" Yasos smiled, but then realized that the bullets he fired seemed to have no effect. They didn't bring down the opponent at all, and he faintly sensed that something was wrong.

Immediately, a strong warning surged in his mind. Yasos instinctively deviated from his course, but it was already too late!

A deafening explosion of shredded metal resounded in his ears, sparks flying vividly in the dark night.

Yasos felt a violent shock through his body, as if his chest was about to burst open. With the excellent dynamic vision of a shape-shifting wizard, he saw clearly that he was hit by a yellow-orange bullet!

The opponent had rebounded all the attacks from the machine guns!

Hundreds of bullets tore apart more than half of the fuselage. The entire fighter aircraft immediately lost speed, irreversibly plummeting towards the ground...

Enduring the intense pain in his body, Yasos used electromagnetic magic to send out a warning signal. Then, just before the fighter aircraft crashed, he opened the top protective cover and jumped out...

[Batwing Transformation]

In mid-air, Yasos' back muscles near the scapula began to transform and extend, forming a pair of huge wings, three meters long in just a second.

Although his shapeshifting magic had not gained recognition from the masters and did not receive the Morning Star Medal, it seemed to have some usefulness now...

As the electromagnetic wave signal was sent out, wizards on the airship and other fighter aircraft also received the message.

[Machine guns ineffective, enemy... extremely dangerous!]

In fact, without the reminder, Lynn had already seen Yasos being shot down, as well as Lucia, riding a Gryphon, rushing towards them.

Whether it was due to some secret technique or not, the Gryphon under the opponent's seat was incredibly fast, its wings leaving afterimages, and its speed even surpassed that of the airship...

"This should be the Holy See's Saintess, right?" Harof squinted his eyes and praised, "Courageous, coming alone!"

Lynn was also somewhat surprised. Although he knew that after dealing with the airborne Fire Dragon and Gryphons, the Holy See's legendary wizards would definitely take action, he did not expect that only Lucia would catch up.

This was inconsistent with his previous plans.

The unknown is the most fearful.

"Let the fighters retreat first!" Lynn said with a serious expression, quickly transmitting the command in the form of electromagnetic waves.

After receiving the order, several nearby fighter aircraft immediately began to turn back, giving up the intention of besieging the opponent. Their ammunition and fuel were almost depleted, and they were no longer able to fight...
