Chapter 430 - Planetary Invasion ( 8 )
"Avalon… Do you think we should send help to Wallace? Your connection was lost again, right?"
[ Correct. However, no request for help was requested and the independent A.I. only focused on sending the information they\'ve gathered. They must not be in real danger with all the clues they left. ]
The artificial intelligence answered. Right now, Avalon is in the form of floating metal beside Ace…
They are hurrying toward Earth so they can help with the fight against the aliens.
As for the other magicians, they all remained in the Moon Base since they have already done their part and as a matter of fact, they have done a lot more than any country could do.
"Is that so? Then tell me about the Space Beast that was reported by Sir Slaine…"
[ Yes. The space beast he had seen is most likely a type of Scylla. A Nosferu Space Creature known for their hundreds of black limbs around their body… ]
Apparently, there are several types of space beasts in the galaxy. The one that Avalon mentioned was unfortunately one of the most dangerous ones.
He heard some of the weaker space beasts were like those with a dinosaur-like body but made of unknown stones, some three-headed canine-like beast, a fiendish type of beast, and other unexplainable creatures.
"We should kill them while they are still not adapting to this world\'s mana… Get them Northern Army ready to help me destroy all of the Conveyor Spaceships…"
[ Affirmative. ]
Ace is referring to the natives of the northern continent. Right now, they can probably be considered to be the finest magicians…
"Right, did you give them enough Mana Artifacts?"
[ Yes. We received help from the NMTI so we managed to quickly gather them. ]
"I see… So Yumi helped us this time… Send my regards to her."
[ I will. ]
Apparently, these natives were all multicasters! They could use 4 Mana Artifacts at the same time with extreme accuracy…
They could probably increase it to five but the effectiveness would lessen a lot so Ace decided to just let all of them have at least 4 Mana Artifacts to help them in the fight.
The Mana Artifacts he requested should at least have a single Grade A Mana Artifact to ensure that they can show their true abilities. It means that equipping a few hundred would be very expensive and difficult as well.
If not for the NMTI\'s help, Avalon would probably need a lot more time to gather them.
Ace couldn\'t help but feel excited. He knows that they are not in a good position right now but at the very least, they are not hopeless.

Hallgrim is starting to get exhausted in this battle.
The numbers of the Imperial Soldiers just keeps increasing and what\'s even more troubling about this is that these aliens would no longer retreat whenever they destroy their armors!
In the previous offensive against them, these soldiers will retreat to their spaceship whenever they managed to greatly damage their Bio-Armors…
However, they no longer care whether they have armor or not!
\'Tsk… This is probably because of the memory crystals they collected. We should\'ve acted sooner.\'
The old man thought but he knows deep inside that if they acted sooner, the forces from the two neighboring countries wouldn\'t arrive on time and they would have to face the full strength of the Aliens alone.
Aside from that, the Cryptic Mage\'s control with the Corpse Furnace wouldn\'t be possible as well since Miya and Miss Chamber\'s team wouldn\'t have finished the study of the Death Energy yet.
The Grand Sage then glanced at his precious students… They have all reached the Sage level and they are all equipped with three Mana Artifacts. They are handling five to eight Imperial Soldiers alone but it wouldn\'t be long before they\'ll get overpowered.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Automatons from Maja arrived to help his struggling team…
\'Good timing…\' Hallgrim glanced at the leader of Maja\'s Army and nodded at him to give his thanks.
Apparently, the automatons were too fragile compared to the armored soldiers, this is why they have changed their tactics to self-destruction mode.
The Automatons would run towards their target and trigger their explosives once they are within the range of the soldiers if they could cling to them.
[ Get ready. The Terubs from the Flagship are coming. There are three of them this time. ]
Avalon suddenly gave a report.
"This is not good. Who would handle them?" The Grand Sage muttered as he looked at the battlefield. His Mana pool was almost emptied and he needed at least 10 minutes to recover a significant amount of mana.
"Don\'t worry… The Cryptic Mages together with Sir Hayden will handle them. Though we didn\'t expect that there would be three of them at the same time, they should be able to buy us some time…"
Troy Webb suddenly appeared beside Hallgrim. He then placed his palm on his back and poured a rejuvenating Mana into his body.
\'Impressive…\' Hallgrim felt satisfied with the man\'s help. However, it seems that Troy has another thing to give him.
"What\'s this?"
Hallgrim asked after being handed by a red vial of liquid.
"That\'s a berserk potion. Though only the battlemages and the adepts were given at first, you can try using them to help in the battle. The Trance Battleship together with all the other Airships will try to destroy the remaining Conveyor Spaceship… Once they managed to destroy them, it can be considered a success and we can retreat…"
Troy reported to the Grand Sage.
"I understand. Go ahead and help the others." Hallgrim nodded at Troy before the latter took off and arrived near a struggling Sage to back him up.
\'It\'s good that we have a clear plan… Now, how long does it take to destroy the Conveyor?\'
As the Grand Sage thought of this, he saw the magicians in the sky jump off their airships!
He thought that these airships were invaded by the aliens so they had to escape!
However, he soon realized that these airships were now being used to crash the Conveyor Spaceships!
