Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 338 The Neglected Generation Difference
In the hall of the Fairy Tail guild, Mebis, the first generation leader, stood in the void, stretching out his hand to write and outline countless complex text formulas in the air, trying his best to deduce the current situation.

Erza's team has all been dispatched to the frontline battlefield to fight against the Twelve Shields.In addition, the other main magicians of the guild were also sent to join the battle.

As a result, the guild headquarters will inevitably suffer from a lack of combat power.But rather than being pushed to the door of the house by the twelve shields, Mebis obviously thinks that it is more appropriate to defend the enemy from outside the country.

Mebis intends to exchange space for time, relying on the vast territory of the Fiore Kingdom and the many wizards across the country to digest powerful enemies.According to the limited information obtained so far, Mebis deduced that the Twelve Shields and the resistance forces they encountered were evenly matched.Just a dozen people can fight against a whole country of mages, the power of twelve shields can be seen!But evenly matched power also means that as long as new forces join the battle, it will be easy to break the deadlock and win the final victory!
That's why Mebis sent the main magicians in the guild to various battlefields to support the battle at all costs.

The goblins already knew Mebis's nickname of "Fairy Military Adviser" and had no doubts about her decision-making. Chairman Makarov simply used the guild's resources to pile up a group of space teleportation magic circles that could transport people. , directly sent the reinforcements to the vicinity of the battlefield - this magic circle was almost Fairy Tail's hole card, and when it was activated this time, it burned the guild's savings for three years in one go!If it weren't for the tense situation and the precious time, Chairman Makarov would be reluctant to use it.

"Laxus, take your Thunder Gods to the northeast grassland." Mebis kept ordering, "There will also be a group of enemies there..."

"No, I won't go!" Laxus sat on the chair, flatly rejecting President Mebis' order.

Makarov thought his grandson was dissatisfied with being ordered by a "little girl" and was playing with his temper, so he couldn't help frowning and scolded: "Laxus, this is not the time for you to be willful! Obey the orders of the first generation!"

"Old man, I don't intend to disobey orders." Laxus shook his head, "I know very well that the situation is tense now, but it is precisely because of this that I want to stay!"

"Woz and Mirajane have escaped, Gildas is still missing, Erza and Natsu have also been sent out..." Laxus frowned, "If I am also sent out, the guild will There is not even one S-rank mage left!"

He stretched out his finger and pointed to his feet: "According to the information sent back by Woz, the enemy's ultimate goal is obviously here, right? If that's the case, is it really good for us to leave the base camp so empty?"

Makarov was furious: "Bastard, how dare you question the strategy of the first generation! In terms of war command, are you as good as the first generation?"

"No..." Mebis suddenly interrupted Chairman Makarov's reprimand, and looked at Laxus with wide eyes, his face pale.

Laxus was stared with horror: "What's wrong?"

"You're right!" Mebis seemed to wake up suddenly, showing a panicked expression, "I misjudged the situation... I was calculated!"

"The strength of the Alvarez Empire cannot be exaggerated - after all, it is his country! It is not true that their top powerhouses can fight against Fiore's national wizards. The real strength of the Twelve Shields is definitely more than that. That's it. Until now, the stalemate in various battlefields has been an illusion!"

Mebis murmured quickly, with a rare look of panic in his big eyes.

"Someone is pushing all this behind the scenes! The so-called evenly matched forces are the result of his single-handed planning! For the strong at that level, the crowd tactics are meaningless! The so-called army of mages, with their morale and will, is simply not enough. It may be able to stop Twelve Shields, and only senior mages of the same level can fight against it!"

In this way, Mebis will not be a decisive force to break the deadlock if they send Erza and the others out. Facing them will be an unprecedented hard fight!And the power of Fairy Tail headquarters has also been weakened.

Mebis suddenly lowered his head, looked at the map on the table under his feet, and integrated all the information so far in his mind.

——In addition to myself, there is another existence in this war who is secretly manipulating the overall situation!Mebis reacted almost immediately, and the ability of the other party was far stronger than the ghost body himself. He could even directly implement his will to everyone below, so as to control their behavior—it was like manipulating Chess pieces move on the chessboard and fight like fighting!
"Sure enough, isn't it our time now?" Mebis felt bitter in her heart. She, who had commanded victorious battles all her life, was sometimes plotted against... and it was probably the other party's unintentional plotting.

Mebis closed his eyes, overturned all previous strategies, and recalculated.

"Everyone, get ready to fight." A moment later, Mebis opened his eyes and said to everyone seriously, "I'm afraid there will be enemies coming soon."

On the other side, Woz knew about Mebis' previous plan, but he didn't stop it.In Woz's view, he had to fight to the death with the Twelve Shields guys anyway, and it didn't make much difference to start the war there sooner or later.

In contrast, it is certainly better to be farther away from the city of Magnolia.

As for the outcome of the war, of course Fairy Tail won in the end!Woz expressed no pressure on the decidedly ordinary ending.

Only a few elite cadres including Twelve Shields invaded the Fiore Kingdom. Although their strength is extraordinary, that's all.The millions of troops of the Alvarez Empire did not come, and the emperor Zeref did not come. This war was being fought fiercely, and it was nothing more than a local conflict, and it was still far away from the final decisive battle!
For Fairy Tail, crowd tactics are also quite a headache.And the battle between small-scale elite cadres is what the goblins are best at!
There were only a dozen enemies, and Woz felt that they could be taken down by Fairy Tail!
That's why Woz didn't rush back to support the guild headquarters. By the way, he also took away Mirajane, one of the absolute main force. , it is absolutely possible to take down the enemy, at least it will not be defeated!

However, Woz overlooked a very important point: that is, there is a generational difference in strength between Fairy Tail and Twelve Shields at this time!

Fairy Tail is indeed very strong, they have the strength and potential to stand out from the world.Fairy Tail, which is dominated by the new generation, has a great chance to become the real "No. [-] in the world"!
Because they are young!Except for Gildas, all the S-rank mages and first-line main mages in Fairy Tail are young people under the age of 30, and their strength is still in the stage of rapid rise, far from reaching the limit.

Every once in a while, every time a battle is experienced, these young goblins will grow up and become stronger.

In Woz's vague memory, Fairy Tail had indeed defeated all members of the Twelve Shields, and none of them died!But Woz overlooked one point, or in other words, there were no such things in the original incomplete "memory"-the time when Fairy Tail and Twelve Shields originally fought should be a year and a half later!

After the Dragon King Sacrifice event, Fairy Tail will go through a tough battle against the gate of Hades, and get a baptism and promotion.

After that, President Makarov disbanded the guild, and personally went to the Alvarez Empire to stabilize the situation.Although it failed to prevent the outbreak of war in the end, it bought a whole year for the young goblins to grow up.

During this year, perhaps because of the disbandment of the guild, the goblins had no chance to mess around anymore.Instead, calm down, absorb and digest the experience and lessons accumulated before, and find their own paths.

It was also during that year that Fairy Tail made a qualitative leap.The so-called new generation of goblins have finally matured!

At this point, Fairy Tail is truly qualified to compete with Twelve Shields.

At this time, the one-year precipitation and sublimation time is immediately gone.The original high-quality experience package of the Gate of Hades was also eaten by Woz and Mirajane, plus the two Four Heavenly Kings...

The current Fairy Tail belongs to challenge the finale BOSS before it has a chance to upgrade... It's really a bit of a cheat!

It stands to reason that with Woz's level of care, he would not have missed this point.It's just that there are some problems with the reference object chosen by Woz - he subconsciously uses Mirajane's strength level to calculate the current strength level of the entire Fairy Tail.

And Mirajane is acting extraordinarily powerful at this moment!The witch who received the soul of Satan used her own strength to fight against a twelve-shield and a quasi-twelve-shield on the opposite side, without any sign of decline.

If Mirajane is so good at fighting, then Erza and Laxus who are at the same level as her must not be too bad.Coupled with Nazgray and other powerful mages, it is not a big problem to defeat Twelve Shield...

However, at this moment, only Mirajane knew that she was cheating!The awakening of the power of Satan's soul gave her further strength in one fell swoop.That's why he was able to hold down his opponent with one against two, which seemed to have a great advantage.

Use this enhanced version of Mirajane as a template to deduce the current level of combat effectiveness of the entire Fairy Tail—of course, it has also been greatly enhanced.
