Chapter 740: Such Weak Magic?!
"Kill!"
"You damned Traitors!"
"For Archbishop Regen Kista!"
"Long live Archbishop Regen Kista!!"
Somewhere in the Wilderness on the southwest corner of the Valais Alps Mountain Range.
A strange Army totaling over ten thousand people from both sides.
They were Slaughtering each other under the Scorching Sun at noon, the sounds of Screams and falling Corpses echoing endlessly.
The reason they were called strange was because within the ranks of both sides, there were many people who could release various Elements of Magic through Staffs or Blades.
For example, exploding Flames, Ice Spikes that could pierce Armor, or Whirlwinds that could blow people into the air.
Their presence constantly turned large numbers of low-level Soldiers into Corpses with bizarre death poses or Flesh and Blood wrapped in Iron Plating, making the Battlefield colorful, lively, and roaring.
"So this is Magic? It looks... quite boring~"
Hidden on a nearby Mountain Slope, Mima Amatori maintained a Smile on his face as he overlooked the entire Battlefield.
He simply commented on the first Otherworld War he had witnessed.
Chelsea and Mr. Shu beside him also nodded in agreement.
Only Knight Ander was confused because he couldn't understand.
This Knight looked at the Battlefield below, wanting very much to charge in and kill all those Bastards who followed the Traitors.
But his Rationality kept reminding him of his most important Mission right now.
He should introduce these powerful Adventurers to the Crown Prince.
As an Imperial Guard Knight, although usually silent, he clearly understood how difficult Crown Prince Wales's situation was.
Currently, they could only barely control this southernmost Zone, an area roughly one-tenth the size of the entire Albion Kingdom.
In other words, ninety percent of the entire Kingdom's territory had already been Occupied by the Nobility who were incited by the Regen Chista Cult to rebel.
Also, these few people couldn't understand Halkeginian Language.
Although this point was strange, in Knight Ander's view, it was precisely because of this that they were more Trustworthy, at least proving they weren't from the enemy Faction/Camp.
As for the problem of language barrier, although he couldn't solve it, Crown Prince Wales definitely had a Method.
If you asked why: Because of Magic.
Mima Amatori and the other two were still observing the Battlefield below.
As mentioned before, much Intelligence about a World could be obtained from War.
But as they watched, they became somewhat disappointed.
This thing called Magic didn't seem very impressive.
Analyzing from the bottom up.
The low-level Soldiers on both sides were truly just Ordinary People holding Blades, and their Equipment was very rudimentary. Their displayed Sword Skill, Speed, Strength, and other aspects were even less worth mentioning.
One must know that in the Imperial Arms World, even The Empire and the Alchemy Kingdom had Troops armed with Cold Weapons like this.
But they were already equipped with uniform full body Armor, and the Mass was very good, enough to withstand ordinary Firearms Bullets.
Looking at the Troops on both sides in This World, only a very small number of people had full Armor on their bodies.
Then there were the upper-level Magic Knights and the Mages standing in the back, constantly acting as 'Turrets', firing various Elements of Magic into the enemy Faction/Camp.
These Magic Knights, their Sword Skill—or rather, Sword Skill—couldn't be said to be bad, but they certainly weren't excellent either.
The Hotei, Flames, and other things occasionally released from their Long Swords.
In Mima Amatori's opinion, their Effect was nothing special.
They weren't as useful as the Pistol and Grenades hanging in his Clothing.
And the Ranged Magic released by those Mages through the Staffs in their hands.
It was mainly based on exploding Fireballs, with Power roughly equivalent to a Rocket Launcher, but with the advantage of being able to fire continuously in a short Time.
And then, that was it.
Mima Amatori didn't even see a single person or thing that could make his eyes light up.
Oh right.
In the ranks of those called Rebels by Knight Ander, there were also some Human Form Monsters said to be Trolls.
Their Height was estimated to be over two meters, their skin was rough and thick, and their Strength was also considerably greater than that of Ordinary People.
The thick, long Kanabo in their hands were swung with great Power.
Each time, they could smash several low-level Soldiers of the Crown Prince's side flying.
They were somewhat similar to the Hobgoblin that Levi brought back last night.
However, they were quickly dealt with by two or three Imperial Guard Knights working together.
It seemed these Trolls weren't much smarter than Hobgoblins.
Only their Skin Color was grayish-blue, and purple saliva was dripping from their mouths.
"Alright, let's keep going. Let's find Crown Prince Wales first."
Mima Amatori shook his Head in disappointment.
This made him have less expectation for Crown Prince Wales as well.
However, Knight Anderson had told them before that Crown Prince Wales might be able to solve the problem of language barrier through Magic, which was a very attractive point.
If it was really possible, then the Value of this Crown Prince, or rather this kind of Magic, would be too great for the World Government.
Moreover, Mima Amatori felt that the Crown Prince's Identity also had potential for utilization.
He was very Familiarize with this.
When Mima Amatori was in Hinamoto back then, he was also considered a Crown Prince of a country.
Although he was later deposed by that old guy, he knew how great the Effect brought by this Identity was.
Because they had to avoid the areas where fighting was taking place.
The group walked and stopped along the way until Dusk, when the Sunset slowly set amidst the Sunset Glow. They finally arrived at the City Gate of a Fortress under the guidance of Knight Anderson.
Facing such a heavily Guarded Military Fortress, Mima Amatori and the other two showed no Ripple, just calmly watching Knight Anderson negotiate with the other party.
Mima Amatori and Mr. Shu, naturally, were bold because of their high skill.
Having witnessed so many Wars along the way, it was truly difficult for them to feel any awe towards the Army of This World.
Of course, they also remained vigilant in their Heart.
After all, who knew if there were even more powerful Mages in This World?
"You few can rest in Terrell Fortress tonight. I have already had them prepare Rooms and dinner!"
Knight Ander walked over and said this to Mr. Shu, and the latter repeated his words to Mima Amatori and Chelsea.
"Okay."
Mima Amatori didn't say much, because they couldn't make the other party understand their words yet.
A moment later.
The three of them were assigned three Rooms within the Fortress that could only be described as average. Afterward, the few of them gathered in Mima Amatori's Room without any hesitation.
"Chelsea, Anderson and the other two have gone to the South Side. Follow him, find the Crown Prince's Position, and then Report back to us."
Mima Amatori looked at the dim Sunset outside the window and smiled slightly.
He had no interest in wasting Time here. Since they could meet the other party today, there was no need to wait until tomorrow. Moreover, the Surveillance level of the people in This World was truly too clumsy.
"Understood, Captain!"
Chelsea became serious upon hearing the formal Order. She immediately walked to the corner and used the Ability of the Imperial Arms 'Transformation Libre: Gaia Foundation'.
She transformed herself into a cute little mouse through the incredible 'Disguise' Ability.
After she left this small Building, she transformed into a yellow hawk common in This World at a corner, flapping its wings and flying towards the Sky to the south.
Soon, Chelsea saw Knight Anderson riding a Warhorse galloping towards the Jungle to the south from High Altitude. Behind him were two Imperial Guard Knights also wearing silver Armor and Black Robes.
After entering the Jungle, Chelsea descended from the Sky.
Then, using a large tree for concealment, she transformed into a black leopard a few seconds later and continued to follow in the dark.
"Is this the place?"
Finally, Chelsea saw Knight Anderson and the other two stop in front of the Main Gate of a white Church-style Building.
"Captain, I've found the Target location..."
She restored her Human Form and took out a small Den Den Mushi to give Mima Amatori a Report, as a Radio Headset would definitely not work at this Distance.
"Okay, keep an eye on that Crown Prince. We'll get there as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Chelsea received the Order and put the Den Den Mushi back in her pocket.
Immediately, she used the Imperial Arms' Ability again to transform into a Small Bird similar to a Sparrow, following behind Knight Anderson and the others. Two seconds before the Main Gate was about to close, she quickly flew in.
