Chapter 338: 338

There were many countries on the Magic Continent, and most of them cultivated magical power. There were also countries that comprised purely ordinary people. They were basically in places where magical energy was scarce.

In the magical world, the people in power were basically the most powerful magical family clans in the countries, which were the royal families. Then, there were the various senate members. Most of them had cultivated magical power, especially the generals who needed to go to the battlefield. There were very few ordinary people among them.

There were also many Magi in the army of a country. As the huge army could not be completely made up of Magi, many of the soldiers inside were actually ordinary people.

A single ordinary person was indeed unable to deal with a Mage, but when the number of people amassed to a certain extent, the power was also extremely powerful!

In the huge army of a million people, the majority of them were still ordinary soldiers. Magi accounted for at most one-tenth of a million, or perhaps not even that… Basically, the higher the level of the magical power, the fewer Magi there were.

The Great Archmagi of the two armies usually guarded the rear and rarely went to the battlefield. Usually, one side would send out a Great Archmage, and the other would also send a Great Archmage to fight.

If a Great Archmage intervened, he could often change the direction of the battle, but this was not absolute.

Although a Great Archmage could fight 10,000 or resist 100,000, it was not impossible for ordinary people to defeat them.

For example, when the Sebastian Kingdom unified the surrounding vassal states, there had been a battle where more than 100,000 elite soldiers killed a Great Archmage.

Currently, outside the Steep Southern Pass, the battle between the two armies had reached its climax.

In today’s battle, the Lassie Kingdom had launched an extremely violent wave of attacks. The Great Archmage commanders from both sides had already gone out to fight. Now, the battle was so intense that the sky was turning dark.

Just as the two sides were locked in battle, the Great Archmagi in the air suddenly turned pale with fright. Both sides hurriedly retreated!

Everyone’s gaze converged on the northern horizon, their eyes filled with surprise.

With a loud peacock cry that resounded throughout the world, five-colored light filled the sky. A five-colored dazzling shadow spread its wings and streaked across the sky, covering the sky!

A powerful pressure overwhelmingly pressed down from the sky… a level-7 magical beast!!

Not to mention the group of Great Archmagi who were originally engaged in a fierce battle, even the two huge armies, which were originally in a chaotic battle on the ground, had stopped in their tracks from the sudden suppression of the powerful pressure. The originally loud sounds of metal clashing and the loud explosions of various powerful magical powers colliding…

At this moment, all the sounds and lights of the battle had disappeared. Someone seemed to have hit the pause button on the intense battle. It became quiet, extremely quiet.

Just as everyone was horrified and could not regain their senses, the mighty Five-Color Peacock had already flown past 100,000 feet above their heads.

Only then did some people see clearly that there was actually a huge flying ferry beneath the Five-Color Peacock! The flying speed of the huge ferry was not inferior to that of the spirit beast at all. It was like a comet flying at high speed, disappearing into the other side of the sky in a few seconds.

“Five-Color… Five-Color Peacock?!”

“A level-7 Five-Color Peacock! It’s the Guardian Spirit Beast of the Nicholas family!”

“Yes! That flying ferry is their Sacred Mist Ferry!”

“Fly south to the Lassie Kingdom…”

“What is the Nicholas family going to do?”

The few Great Archmagi on the side of the Sebastian Kingdom’s army recovered from their shock. They could not help but secretly pull out a voice transmission channel and discuss in surprise.

The moment they saw and recognized the spirit beast and the flying ferry, they had thought that the Nicholas family was about to fly over to support them. Unexpectedly, the other party did not even slow down and flew directly south… Clearly, they had just happened to fly past here.

They were clearly just passing by, but they inexplicably cheered on the people from the friendly side of the Sebastian Kingdom.

Among the powerful family clans in the country, the Nicholas family clan had mobilized their Guardian Spirit Beast and flying ferry to charge directly behind the enemy! They might be able to bring about some changes to the battle situation…

On the other side of the battle, the people from the Lassie Kingdom were more or less panic-stricken. What was this aggressive rage going to do to their territory?!

After an extremely short pause, the two armies clashed again.

However, after the Nicholas family had unintentionally interrupted the battle between the two armies, which had originally been evenly matched, the situation of the battle was faintly inclined toward the Sebastian Kingdom… and they were faintly in the advantage.

At this moment, on the flying ferry, Norton and the others stood on the deck and retracted their gazes from the battlefield.

“The two countries had just started to fight, and the Lassie Kingdom sent out a million troops.”

Zoro said in a low voice, “This battle… will probably not end easily.”

“They have clearly planned this for a long time. Perhaps, when the Imperial City of the Sebastian Kingdom was attacked by magical beasts ten years ago, they had already wanted to attack…”

Beside him, Molaid nodded and continued, “If Dick and Ron had not jointly blocked them, the losses of the royal family would have been unimaginable. The Sebastian Kingdom would have definitely been in chaos then, and the Lassie Kingdom would not miss the opportunity. They would have definitely sent an army to the border.”

“There are a million troops in the southern border, and there are probably also some twists and turns in the northern border.” Yael was a little worried. “I wonder how Dick is doing currently. He should have arrived, right?”

“Nothing will happen to Dick. There’s no need to worry. The war between the two countries has nothing to do with us for the time being.”

The head of the family, Norton, looked ahead steadily and said in a deep voice, “Our goal this time is to destroy the Beast Sect in the Endless Beast Mountain!”

With the high speed of the Sacred Mist Ferry, it only took a day for everyone on the flying ferry to fly here from the Holy Light City. They were still a day away from the Endless Beast Mountain. After entering the Endless Beast Mountain, they would still need a day to reach their true destination.

For a three-day journey, even if the Beast Sect was well-informed and could send a message from afar in time, they would not have the time to be on guard!

A day passed quickly, and what appeared in front of everyone on the flying ferry was a large stretch of mountain ranges.

This was… the Endless Beast Mountain!

This area was on the east side of the Lassie Kingdom. The existence of the Endless Beast Mountain was similar to the Black Forest in the Sebastian Kingdom.

However, compared to the Black Forest, the Endless Beast Mountain was more vast and more dangerous!

It was rumored that in the deepest depths of the forest of the Endless Beast Mountain, there were many level-7 and level-8 magical beasts. It was also said that there were also ferocious beasts of the Middle Ages that were far more brutal than ordinary magical beasts!

Moreover, legend had it that at the end of the Endless Beast Mountain, there was a level-9 Beast Deity. However, there had never been any relevant evidence for its existence.

After entering the Endless Beast Mountain, Zoro left the Sacred Mist Ferry with more than ten level-7 and level-8 Great Archmagi. They spread out and quickly explored the way forward.

Half a day later, a secret report came back: Zoro and the others had found a Beast Sect outpost!!

This stronghold had been hidden extremely well, but no matter how well it had been hidden, it would not be able to escape the detection of a Divine Mage!

Since there was the enemy outpost ahead, it meant that the current direction was very likely to lead to the lair of the Beast Sect!

The exact location where Anthony had used the Small Prediction Technique to calculate was actually a region. However, the information was much more accurate than that from the royal family of the Sebastian Kingdom… Even if it was thousands of kilometers wide, it was not difficult for a Divine Mage to explore carefully.

The reason why the location of the Beast Sect’s headquarters had not been known was mostly because the Endless Beast Mountain was too dangerous. Even a Great Archmage would have to take a huge risk coming here.

However, these issues were not a problem for the Nicholas family. Along the way, they had not been stopped at all!

The powerful pressure emitted by the level-7 Five-Color Peacock alone was enough to suppress most magical beasts. Even some magical beasts that had not been afraid of death had also been killed in passing.
