Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 448: Stop it, it's all here
Five pillars support the clear sky.

Looking down from the window of the airship, everything became clear: the shattered remains of the fortress, the city walls climbed up by giant trees and tentacles, and the monsters - when the black sticky liquid faded away, there were dying people and remains that had been mixed with the soil and entangled with flesh and bones.

The devices deployed by the Empire on the front line were deployed in full force, and the other bombing boats escorting the five airships carrying the devices were also very powerful. If Valois had air power, the Empire would suffer heavy losses. If the Empire was willing to bomb, the Moncado Fortress, which had already been destroyed twice, would definitely be wiped out from here.

But neither side moved.

From the situation below, the technical director guessed that his mission had been accomplished. He still didn't know who the great wizard who threatened him was or what his purpose was, but the big hand on his shoulder was still there, very firm.

Want to launch a surprise attack? The technical director had experienced the baptism of the forbidden magic field more than once, and coupled with his own mediocre strength, it was easy for him to adapt to the situation without magic power.

The small eye behind the lens began to glance restlessly to the right rear, while the right hand reached for the gun bag.

"Don't move without my order." A steady and powerful voice came, and at the same time Humboldt's big hand exerted force, and the director felt that he was about to be pressed through the floor. The feedback from his peripheral vision was a broad body. Ah, a natural mage must have the muscles and strength of a bear, this is called healthy!
If the technocrats compare themselves to someone who doesn’t have the strength to catch a chicken, then that’s fine, whatever the master says is the truth.

Seeing that the other party was honest, Humboldt asked: "Will someone break into the command room later?"

"Normally, no. After the magic ban shock, the facilities in the airship that require magic to operate must also switch to a backup system without magic, and guard against enemy attacks. This is the busiest time for the crew members."

He paused. "But you'd better let me give some general instructions, let them know that the command room is still functioning, and make sure these people have work to do and my assistants don't come back here."

Humboldt agreed with the other party's statement, and after asking clearly what the instructions were, he asked him to select and broadcast them to the airship fleet one by one. So the technical director was busy again. He was a temporary commander and was not familiar with the operation. He was in a mess. The levers and buttons were pressed, and the mechanical structure was constantly running in and out of contact. Both pneumatic and electric, it made a series of harsh noises.

When the director was ready, he pulled the brass-cased intercom in front of him, and the voice was transmitted between the copper tube and the vibrating plate: "Leader 201 is calling the entire team, informing each unit of the situation." Finally, the voice was converted into radio waves through the powered vibrating plate and broadcast to other airships.

This is a radio that the Empire captured in reverse and used distorted technology. Now they are not clear enough about the relationship between bands, frequencies and transmission distances, and the anti-interference technology is not very good, but it is just right for communication within airship formations that are close to each other and have only air between them.

"202 Everything is OK." "Everything is OK."

At first, Humboldt was a little nervous when the technical director made a paging call, but he quickly calmed down because the director was just making a routine call and did not let others notice the abnormality in the control room.

After the basic operation process was completed, the director wiped the sweat from his forehead. At this time, a moment had passed since the last impact. According to experience, in a few minutes, the environmental magic power would gradually "recover" to a level that allowed the caster to perform.

He suddenly had a bold idea: "Sir, I beg you to allow me to give one last order - bomb the fortress."

Humboldt was silent for a while and said, "Tell me about it."

"Look, all the airships deployed by the Empire on the front line have been mobilized. This is a serious matter, and I, a small technical director, cannot take on the responsibility." His face gradually twisted and became ugly. Perhaps in his own imagination, this bitter face could arouse the other party's sympathy:
"You picked a good time. I was in charge of the technical testing of the new airship when the hijacking happened. Others didn't know what was going on yet! If you can let me lead the formation to achieve some results, I can report back to the mission. Sir, you see, I have completed your mission."

The airship had just been modified. The main updates included replacing the "safety light gas" provided by Rorschach, installing a primary electrical device as a backup under the condition of no magic, and finally upgrading the energy storage equipment to speed up the charging and discharging efficiency of the no magic device. Therefore, the technical director temporarily took on the role of commander.

The director just said that he had parents and children to take care of. If he went back like this, he would definitely be brought to a military court.
Although the technical director looked at him expectantly, Humboldt's main attention was still focused on the fortress itself. Suddenly, from the edge of the broken fortress, a clear and vibrant "wave" burst out. Its speed was comparable to the efficiency of the previous invasion of Mother Earth, but it brought the brilliance of hope for life. At the same time, the master also felt that he could mobilize the magic power of the environment again, which meant that the mages below could cast spells.

In this case, Humboldt agreed to the technical director's request, but he also had an additional request: "You must drop a bomb first to test it before you can start the bombing. Secondly, you must not tell anyone about my presence here."

"Thank you, sir! Your request is very reasonable."

A little earlier.

Dryaz looked up at the sky at the shadow cast by the airship. At this moment, He was just an incarnation. In the process of resisting the impact, all the incarnation of God could do was to try his best to restrain his own strength and sacrifice most of it to preserve a little of the core.

At this time, His beautiful appearance was covered with woody cracks like the bark of an ancient tree. He stiffly and with difficulty turned his head from looking up to looking straight. The infiltration of Mother Earth had stopped, and the evil and filthy aura had disappeared.

Dryarts murmured, "He is right. The era of the gods has truly ended now."

He also saw the people who were still fainting and looking in pain, and made a final decision: "Since the power now comes from you, I will give some back to you today."

Light burst out from the cracks in the wood, and the last essence of the clone's divine power was fully exerted, bringing divine healing to the people who were still alive in the fortress and the city. The price was that the clone disappeared.

"Ah" Rorschach climbed up from the ruins, and after a while he bathed in the last essence of the Dryats clone, and he recovered a lot. At first he felt comfortable, but then he felt sore all over again.

"It was the Empire's attack that saved everyone." Kano pulled Rorschach up with a wry smile.

"I don't think it's that simple. They are definitely not here to do charity." Poincare looked at the group of airships that covered the sky with suspicion.

A heavy bomb fell and exploded in the center of the fortress.

"Damn it, as expected! This is a test attack, and there will be a large-scale bombing soon!" The recovered spellcaster cursed and began to prepare spell defense and counterattack.

Immediately afterwards, bombs exploded above the fortress, and the fortress was completely covered in flames.

"I advise you to stop, stop here." Humboldt confirmed that the next bombs were all blocked, and kindly reminded: "There are at least three great wizards and several spellcasters below. You won't be able to leave when they recover." That mysterious lady is stronger than the average great wizard! However, the technical director no longer needs to care about such details.

"Ah?" While the director was stunned, an outer airship was shot down by a mysterious force.

"Return! All units maneuver at full speed! Run!" The communication system was filled with heart-wrenching roars. The technical director's hoarse voice and the noisy electronic sound overlapped and echoed among the panicked airship formations.
