Chapter 764 764 Hit Them Until They Learn

This time, the enemy didn't approach as far. They stopped two hundred metres away and began setting up some sort of magical devices that looked like catapults.

"Are they seriously going to use siege weapons against an infantry army?" Risa asked. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Well, it is likely their strongest attack, so I suppose they will. But it appears that they haven't realized that we can hit them from here." Millie agreed, while Chloe polished her rifle and waited for the fight to begin.

They were bodyguards, in the middle of the group with Wolfe and the others, so they would be on defensive duty during the attack, as well as tactical reporting. The primary tactical planning would be done by the witches in town, who had better radio contact with everyone, but there was a chance that they would see more attackers coming their way from some other point on the invaders' planet.

Prince Nathaniel surveyed the battlefield, then pointed to a spot near the fallen Emperor.

"The device to open the portals is still intact. We should recover it and use it to ensure that they are not amassing a larger army to return."

Wolfe found the item he was referring to, and pulled it to them with a blast of Gravity Magic. It looked like a simple magical box, but there was a whole matrix of crystal inside, along with a large amount of gold, making it surprisingly heavy for its size.

The Elf pointed to the human army's lines. "It looks like they're set up. Should we give them a chance to retreat?"

"Do it. It will either work, or it will piss them off, but either way it's a win for us."

[Invading army, your Emperor is dead. His successor is dead. Cease your foolish invasion and return home, never to appear in our world again.] The Elf announced, using magic to let his voice carry far beyond the current battle, allowing the armies for dozens of kilometres along the perimeter to hear his voice.

That might not have been enough to dissuade them from attacking, but it certainly did put fear into their hearts. The reinforcements were just now realizing what happened to the first group they found dead in their world, that they had run into this army and been annihilated.

Worse, they had no idea how large the force in Forest Grove was, as the defensive spells were over sixty kilometres in diameter. If even a quarter of that was a massive city, they might have just poked an advanced society with the numbers to wipe out entire legions of their soldiers in a day. The realization was both terrifying and humbling, but the rest of their Legion should still be fighting around the perimeter, and there was a chance that this was the only force that the forest had sent out.

Unlike Wolfe, who was getting a constant stream of updates as the other forces attacked and then retreated into the forest to wait for another group to ambush, the invaders relied on magical communication, which was heavily distorted by the [Kind Intentions] spell when they tried to reach the other side of the forest.

"Are we really going to wait for them to attack again?" One of the Wrathbringers asked, eager to get back to battle.

"No, we're waiting for them to dig out every bit of equipment they have, so nothing is left hidden in a spatial storage device when they flee. As soon as the construction stops, I will give the order to attack."
