Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

But when the Lake Soldier formation marched to the city walls under the morning sun, the defending troops in the city had already fled in panic, leaving only the citizens who didn’t have time to escape huddled trembling before the city gates, holding banners that said ”Welcome the Lake King’s Army” to show their submission and begging the Lake Soldiers not to hurt them.

The process of the siege battles for the next few cities was basically the same.

The gloomy mood of the Lake Soldiers did not improve because of the victories without fighting—all their military merits had run away.

The slightly comical farce finally ended when the Lake main legion surrounded the Lagu Royal Capital.

Most of the Soldiers of the Kingdom’s First-Tier Legion fled in successive cowardice; they could not be blamed for being weak, as the actions of Brando and other high-level officials almost giving away the cities to Lake for free had damaged morale too much.

The Soldiers lamented that the Kingdom had no future and naturally prioritized saving their own lives. They fled back to their villages, discarding their armor and weapons halfway, and worked hard in the fields after putting on Farmers’ linen clothes.

However, the defensive strength in the Lagu Royal Capital did not weaken because of this; instead, it far exceeded all the cities Lake had conquered.

The Kingdom only had one Royal Capital left, and the remaining Professionals, Saint-levels, and Soldiers who still had courage all gathered here.

The siege battle was launched that night.

Outside the city, Lake set up more than a dozen high-power large searchlights, their brilliant white beams of light scattered across the city walls, making the battlefield as bright as day; the Lake infantry lined up in the open ground, waiting for their officers’ orders to charge.

Although the war had not yet begun, both sides seemed to have foreseen the final outcome.

The Kingdom Soldiers understood very well that they were destined to be defeated and perish; if there was a difference, it was probably a matter of sooner or later. With morale low to the point of being almost zero, their combat effectiveness naturally could not be relied upon.

Their actual performance was even worse than the Lake front-line commander had expected; after only two rounds of howitzer volleys, the heads of the densely packed Soldiers on the city walls all disappeared.

It wasn’t that the shells had blown them all to death, but that they had all fled.

The defensive force on the city walls was crushed, but the Lake infantry’s action to seize the city gates was still not very smooth.

Kingdom High-tier Professionals took to the sky from behind the city walls, and the magic condensed in their hands smashed toward the infantry formation like raindrops.

If it had been a month ago, the Lake First-Tier Legion, which lacked effective defensive magic means, would definitely have suffered heavy casualties; fortunately, the First Army had already joined the battle.

Various kinds of magic poured from the air toward the Infantry Regiment, but before they could get close, the First Army Soldiers rushed to the front and activated the magic rifle’s shield Core, blocking all the fireballs and ice spikes.

The High-tier Professionals found that the low-level magic, which was fast to release but had a low lethality limit, was ineffective, so they immediately changed their thinking, raising their staff high to chant high-tier magic.

Lake would not let them play their part.

The Special Operations Squad did not follow the main legion; they had reached the Lagu Royal Capital by forced march before the main army arrived and lay in ambush near the city gates. The moment the High-tier Professionals appeared, the crosshairs of the sniper scopes had already landed on their foreheads.

The firearm arrays began to operate, and the members’ magic power was poured into the captain’s sniper rifle along the Mental Energy link, reaching the limit of the Core’s endurance, and the captain pulled the trigger.

A scene that had terrified the High-tier Professionals a month ago reappeared before their eyes.

The companions beside them suddenly screamed and fell, and although they spread their Mental Energy, they could not perceive any trace of the hidden troops, only witnessing the crowd gradually thinning out.
