“The ant tide is here!”
“Attention, everyone! The ant tide is here!”
“Attention, everyone! The ant tide is here!”
“The ant tide is here?”
Tanna and Hart’s countenances changed at once. Hart said anxiously, “Old bro, the ant tide is here. I have to go and face the enemies now, so I won’t talk to you anymore! I’m hanging up!”
And then, he hung up.
Meng Lei stared at the magic communication device that had turned quiet again and murmured softly, “An ant tide has actually appeared at the North River Pass? I hope the numbers aren’t too great.”
The Great Dragon Blood Wall stretched for several thousand kilometers, so its defense line was very long. The ant tide could appear at any part of it.
Therefore, every pass needed armed forces to guard it. However, this also meant that the number of soldiers guarding each pass wouldn’t be very high, and the number of Magicians allocated to each pass even fewer.
It was precisely because of this that the magic academies had assembled students to come forward to render their assistance. What were they to do? There was a shortage of Magicians!
Thus, in the face of danger, they could only send students into battle.
However, students were ultimately just students, and there was a limit to their abilities. Defending against typical ant tides was no issue for them, but it would be terrible should they run into large waves of ants.
Although an ant tide had shown up at the North River Pass, as long as there weren’t a lot of them, there wouldn’t be much of an issue.
Buzz!
The magic communication device rang again at that moment.
“Old bro! We’re done for...”
Chapter 104: Resisting The Enemies At North River, Unprecedented Events
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Great Dragon Blood Wall stretched on for several thousand kilometers.
A pass was set up every 50 kilometers. Just the number of passes in the whole of the Great Dragon Blood Wall alone totaled up to almost 100, and the North River Pass was one of them.
The North River Pass was named as such due to its proximity to the North River.
The North River flowed from the west to the east. Starting from the Titan Plateau where the Titan Empire was, it cut all the way through the Magical Beast Forest and Dragon God Empire before finally flowing into the deep, boundless East Oceans. It was one of Heaven’s Vault Continent’s biggest rivers and nurtured countless lives.
The whole North River was currently surging turbulently with churning waves, however. Crimson-red Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants marched across the river toward the pass, advancing upon North River Pass as though a great army.
“The ant tide... It’s here!”
Hoooonk!
Hoooonk!
Hoooonk!
“Attention, everyone! The ant tide is here!”
“Attention, everyone! The ant tide is here!”
The loud and clear air horn blasts cut through the sky, startling all the military personnel in North River Pass. Soldiers, archers, arbalists, and guarding Magicians all got into their positions one by one.
A black-robed elderly man, Dirk Norway, also led dozens of magic academy students and raced up to the top of the city walls. Then, he went up to Cesia Dodgson, the general in charge of guarding the pass.
“Marchioness Cesia, all the Magicians from Fire Dragon Magic Academy have assembled and are awaiting your orders!”
Dirk Norway looked at the female general in front of him with a vague hint of respect in his eyes. Many of the students also looked at her with idolizing expressions.
Cesia Dodgson, a Dragon Person Warrior with Green Dragon blood, the general in charge of guarding North River Pass, and the only female general among more than 100 frontier generals!
Not only was she strong, but she also protected the kingdom and guarded the borders. Even as a woman, she didn’t lose out to a man in terms of her abilities and bravery. She could be said to be the role model for all women and was also an idol that innumerable teenage girls pursued and idolized.
“Mr. Dirk, we’re in a critical situation now, so I won’t stand on ceremony with you anymore!”
Marchioness Cesia had green wings on her back and green curved horns on her forehead. She wore a suit of green armor that brought out her tall, slender figure and made her look valiant, brave, and very heroic.
Her eyes were cold and chilly as she looked straight at the dozens of student Magicians from Fire Dragon Magic Academy. “Sixth-Grade Magicians, step forward!”
Whoosh!
Seven to eight sixth-grade seniors stepped forward in response to her command. They were all Sixth-Grade Magicians that would be graduating this year.
“Soldier, bring them to the mid-grade mage towers!”
“Yes, my lady!”
“Fifth-Grade Magicians, step forward!”
“Soldier, bring them to the low-grade mage towers!”
“Yes, my lady!”
In the blink of an eye, a good half of the students Dirk Norway had brought here were led away, leaving behind only about a dozen Fourth-Grade Magicians who hadn’t received any instructions yet.
Amongst them were the fully-armed Hart dressed in a suit of golden armor—he was fully and completely wrapped—and carrying a golden magic staff, the expressionless Abbe, as well as the porcelain-skinned Dragon Person teenage girl, Tanna.
Fatty Hart and the others looked at Marchioness Cesia in anticipation, hoping that she’d arrange for them to enter the mage towers too. However, they were sorely disappointed.
Marchioness Cesia said, “One must be a Fifth-Grade Magician at the minimum in order to control the mage towers. All of you are too weak, so you can only fight against the enemies at the top of the city walls.”
“...”
Fatty Hart and the others exchanged looks in silence.
As Magicians, they naturally knew of amazing tools like the mage towers. They had just been thinking of going in to take a look and broaden their horizons, but little did they expect that things would turn
