A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 519 I'm thinking of submitting

Looking at the serious-looking warrior in the projection, Liam said gratefully.

"Your Majesty Oliver, thank you for your help. I am deeply grateful."

Oliver nodded upon hearing this, and then said...

"Don't leave the city these days. Hold on with the power of the covenant. I'll come and help you when the time comes."

Oliver is a veteran who has lived for over ten thousand years and is nearing the end of his life. He witnessed the most prosperous period of the empire, so he is not only powerful but also a very kind person.

Due to his seniority and strength, Oliver was also a faction leader in the Imperial Senate.

"Understood. I still have some earth elemental golems on hand, enough to hold out."

Oliver didn't say much about it, only sighed.

"Let's hope so. Back when the empire was still powerful, how could these mages have been so presumptuous?"

Oliver said angrily.

The others did not interrupt this veteran's recollection, but were somewhat dismissive.

The empire is no longer the same empire it once was, so what's the point of comparing it?

The old man should have woken up long ago.

Lost in his past glories, Oliver failed to notice the mocking looks from those around him.

The empire's glory days are long gone; their current decision to join is solely for personal gain.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Outside the city, the fierce battle continued. Just as Jiang Shuzhou killed Ethan with a sneak attack, the soldiers' fighting also reached a fever pitch.

"Kill, for Big Brother!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The magical cannons fired relentlessly, heating up before unleashing their fury in a frenzied barrage.

Liam and Oliver had a pretty good idea in mind: as long as they slowly wore the game down, they could hold on.

Actually?

Totally impossible.

Grace is quite powerful; she is also at the level of a minor deity. The configuration surrounding Jiang Shuzhou can already be described as a small pantheon. There are very few forces of this level in the entire main plane.

If it were an empire that once had an emperor and whose alliance power had not been weakened, it might be able to put up a fight.

But what about this empire, which is now plagued by rebellions and has a vacant throne?

Want to stop Jiang Shuzhou? Don't even think about it.

"Take this bomb!"

Denozhi controlled the Redemption gun, which was filled with destructive energy, and fired wildly, unleashing terrifying waves of destructive power.

Grace, who was standing to the side, twitched at the corner of her mouth.

Don't be fooled by De Nuozhi's gentle and sweet demeanor towards Jiang Shuzhou, like a harmless little woman. In reality, she's always been like this, enjoying carpet bombing and once even leveled a city.

Relying on the wondrous artifact "Redemption," Denoz showed no mercy in blasting away any enemy who dared to show their face. Because Redemption could absorb souls, Denoz's weapon grew stronger with each kill.

And Denorchi did not disappoint Jiang Shuzhou's teachings. He showed no discomfort whatsoever in taking a life. It can only be said that Jiang Shuzhou taught him very well.

"Kill a few more, so the professor will look at me a few more times."

Grace, who was standing nearby, heard Denoz's murmur and her temples throbbed. "Child, why don't you go and compete for the emperor's favor? Don't do this, I'm scared."

It can only be said that De Nuozhi truly deserves to be Jiang Shuzhou's apprentice; she has learned both the good and the bad.

And so, on the main battlefield, Grace and Denozze led their army to victory, sweeping all before them and making the Mendetk soldiers dare not take a single step forward.

Now, Jiang Shuzhou's soldiers have begun preparing to attack the city.

On the other side, Jiang Shuzhou was currently fighting against five earth elemental golems.

Bang bang bang.

One after another, huge earth spikes shot towards Jiang Shuzhou, but just as they reached him, Renotia raised her greatsword and shattered them.

Click click click.

Countless enormous stone pillars rose up around them, the terrain became rugged, the earth element became active, and other elements became scarce.

This was an attempt to create a favorable location and delay Jiang Shuzhou's time.

"I don't have time to mess around with you guys!"

Although Jiang Shuzhou was also eager to know what the other party's purpose was in daring to delay, he would not allow this variable to take effect.

A flash of light appeared on the staff in his hand, and then the temperature around Jiang Shuzhou plummeted. Countless crystal-clear ice blocks spread and covered the surrounding area.

Countless rhomboid protrusions form a huge and magnificent ice flower.

Of course, ice flowers are not only beautiful, but also deadly.

With a thought, Jiang Shuzhou unleashed countless ice spikes at the earth elemental golems.

clap clap.

The ice spikes struck their bodies, creating small, uneven craters.

Liam, who was in the city, felt a pang of pain in his heart as he watched. This was the wealth he had painstakingly accumulated!

But there was no other way; in order to stall Jiang Shuzhou, this was the only option.

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers inside the city to launch an attack and not to return without orders.

This can effectively reduce the consumption of the shield and allow it to last a little longer.

Thus, Mendetk's army not only did not retreat, but actually dared to fight back.

This time, Denozzi was thoroughly satisfied with the killing. Countless souls were absorbed by "Redemption," which further enhanced its power.

On the other side, Jiang Shuzhou and Renodia were effortlessly clearing out the earth elemental golems.

These puppets couldn't cause him any trouble at all; at most, they could only buy him time.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the giant sword slammed down, smashing the earth elemental golem to pieces and exposing its internal control magic core.

"This is a good thing; its energy supply capability is worth studying."

As he spoke, Jiang Shuzhou forcefully ripped the magic core off the earth elemental puppet with one hand.

With a whoosh, after the earth elemental golem's magical core detached from its body, the earth elemental's body scattered on the ground, just like an ordinary rock that no one cared about.

The ensuing battle was pointless, since the five earth elemental golems could only hold him off for a short while, and two of them had already been destroyed by Chengdu. Destroying the remaining earth elemental golems would be a piece of cake.

"Still no one coming?"

Liam was determined to be a coward, closing the city gates and guarding them with heavy troops, showing absolutely no intention of going out.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't serious. Liam ordered the last remaining earth elemental golem to reinforce the walls to prevent them from being breached and causing everything to go wrong.

"Your Majesty Oliver, I can't hold on any longer. How much longer until you arrive?"

Oliver sighed upon hearing this, and then said...

"Soon, Liam. You just need to hold out for a few more days. I'll be done soon. I'm currently suppressing the rebellion, so I'll have time to come over later."

Liam took a deep breath to calm himself down.

After all this time, what's the point of fighting?

To be honest, he was thinking of voting.

With such a huge disparity in strength, how can we possibly fight?
