Chapter 86 - Emergency Mission (Part 2)
"How about teaching these sea creatures how to fly?" Kai asked.
"Huh?" This certainly baffled Tasha.
"I mean… how about you teleport them to the sky? Back then, I tested it when I had your teleportation magic. I could send someone up the sky for up to two kilometers. Above that, the magic circle will freeze and the magic will be undone. If not, I would have already sent those people from the Katsuragi family and Ikeda family to space and make them space debris," Kai said.
"!!!" Tasha dropped her jaw. Not only her, even those who heard his plan were shocked. They just couldn\'t believe what he just said.
Maybe it was because he was an unorthodox magician and became too accustomed to thinking out of the box that he could think of this insane plan.
Actually, there was also a record about that. However, it was deemed to be a failure as numerous magicians could fly. But since they were fighting sea creatures with hard shells, such a tactic was perfect for the situation.
Tasha finally understood what he wanted her to do. "I\'ll try it."
"Make sure you target the bigger ones. Remember, gravity," Kai reminded.
Michelle was also fast-witted about this. She suddenly appeared in front of the commander and said, "Commander, if those creatures start falling from the sky. We\'ll need to retreat a bit further to prevent accidents from happening."
"I know. I will immediately order my soldiers as soon as I see them." She nodded in acknowledgment.
Michelle then came back to Kai\'s position. Meanwhile, Tasha started charging toward the front line while choosing the best position to do the first teleportation.
She found it after a few seconds. She should be able to teleport fifty of them to a height of one kilometer, considering her magic power. She might be able to do this around 15-20 times. It should be enough to clean all of these creatures up.
"Kai, cover me."
"All right."
They charged toward the swarm of the magical beasts. Ayaka was also supporting them from the air.
"Teleportation!" She made a magic circle and teleported all the creatures inside. Of course, she made it twenty meters away from them to make sure they wouldn\'t get sucked in by their own magic.
Around fifty creatures suddenly disappeared. All the people gulped down as they were fighting while glancing toward the sky again and again, waiting for the sea creatures to arrive.
After a few seconds, the sea creatures fell from the clouds and shocked the entire battlefield. This meant not only their left flank, but also the army in the middle and the right side of the battlefield.
The moment they saw a few giant sea creatures falling from the cloud, they dropped their jaws to the ground.
"What the f*ck is that?"
"Seriously?"
"Tell me this is a dream."
"Is this how the magical beasts were born? I thought they were normal animals that evolved, not creatures that fall from the sky. If this isn\'t a dream, then our humanity is f*cked. We can\'t beat something like this no matter how long we fight."
The people on the other side kept cursing one by one.
On the other hand, the people of the left wing couldn\'t help but chuckle. It was hilarious to see magical beasts falling from the clouds like rain. Even Michelle couldn\'t help but shout.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. I\'ll give you a forecast today. We will be experiencing a rain of magical beasts! Don\'t need to bring your umbrellas as you will be crushed to death if you try to play in this rain."
The soldiers couldn\'t help but laugh after hearing her words. Those creatures were falling at high speed. Because they didn\'t have any magic whatsoever that could prevent them from falling, they made a bit of an explosion when they reached the ground.
Not only were their bodies splattered around, but they also crushed the sea creatures around them. With this alone, they managed to kill around a hundred sea monsters. This astonished them.
"Encore, encore!" Michelle shouted. Even when the battle was harsh, she wanted to make it more enjoyable. Of course, she was still cutting the sea creatures in front of her.
Kai moved to the second place together with Tasha and did this trick again. Every time they did this, they managed to kill around a hundred sea creatures. And after the fifth teleportation, they almost wiped the enemy out as the army also made a constant push.
In just a few minutes, they managed to wipe them out.
"Soldiers. We have wiped out the enemies in this place. You can\'t rejoice yet as hereby, we are going to make our way to the center field," the commander said in a firm tone.
This time, Michelle and Kai came to her. Michelle asked, "Commander, what are our casualties?"
"20 dead, 47 heavily injured, the others can still fight," she stated before turning to Kai. "Boy, your plan is absurd, but because of that absurd plan, we manage to wipe them out in such a short time. We should use your tactic again when we arrive at the center field."
"..." Kai pondered for a moment. "How about their terrain? We\'re near the sea and don\'t have any buildings with us. If there are buildings around, I am afraid it will be hard for positioning."
"No. Our army has taken care of that, so the terrain is going to be similar to the terrain here."
"Then, there\'s another plan I would like to try," Kai said. "Even though that plan is great, it wouldn\'t be enough to kill all of them considering the magic power."
"That… is true. I forgot that we\'re here because we\'re lacking in magic power and have weak magic elements. You guys also have a limit." The commander shook her head. "All right. Tell me about your plan. I don\'t have a plan feasible enough at the moment anyway, so it will be good to hear all the plans we can get."
"There\'s a member of our group that can use powerful explosion magic. I\'ll keep it simple. I want to make three or four lines of explosions around this area. We will then lure the sea creatures to our area and blow them all up," Kai explained.
"Can that magic be controlled?"
"More or less, but with timing. If needed, we will engage the front while the explosions will kill their backs," he said.
"I see… Then, it will depend on how good we can lure them." The commander thought about it.
"Yes. If we\'re the only ones that lure them, I\'m afraid we would only pull a few hundred. If Commander could give us a few more soldiers and kite them to our area, we might be able to get more," Kai said.
"I understand your plan… I can even take part in this and lead a few soldiers," the commander expressed her agreement.
"That\'s not it. Actually, I would like to ask the commander to do something else," Kai said.
"What is it?"
"To inform the commander in the middle field to charge at the magical beasts as soon as we make a pincer attack from the side. This way, the enemies will split their forces into two since they only move based on instinct. If the center army can take part in this, then we should be able to conclude the war in the middle pretty quickly. Of course, I\'ll also thin their numbers with the previous strategy."
The commander pondered for a moment before nodding her head. "All right. I will ask him. But if you want to lure them, you will need my gunners since their weapons possess more power. They should be able to create more impact."
She then went toward her soldiers. "I need the ten fastest gunners on me right now. The rest of you can rest for ten minutes before going to your positions."
Not long after, the soldiers fell on their butt, tired. Soon after, ten female soldiers came toward them with their rifles.
"You guys can follow his orders for the time being. You are the fastest and the completion of our mission will depend on you guys. Don\'t worry, It might be dangerous, but I will make the reward worth it." Seeing how Kai\'s brain works, she decided to entrust these ten gunners to Kai before going to the middle army.
Kai nodded. "We\'re going to lure the sea creatures to this place and make them fall into a trap here. I\'ll give you detailed instructions later."
He then left them to Michelle as he walked to Ayaka and Tasha.
"Sister, I want you to stop participating when your magic power reaches ten percent. If there\'s an unexpected situation, we can run with your magic." Kai said.
"Got it."
"Ayaka, make a few lines filled with your magic bombs. I\'ll draw you their position after this," he instructed. "Same as Sister, rest on the rear after we wipe out the monsters in the center field."
"Understood."
"Follow me." He nodded. Kai then made a few red marks on the ground to show the positioning and plan to Ayaka.
After that, he led Michelle and the ten gunners toward the middle field. According to his ears, it seemed that the commander had convinced the boss and returned with fifty more soldiers.
"Spread out and wait for my call," Kai ordered. Although this was his first time commanding the army, he just needed to order them like ordering their teammates, but more strictly.
They were a hundred meters away from the monsters. After observing them, he tapped Michelle\'s shoulder.
Michelle nodded and summoned her two-handed sword. She took a deep breath before swinging it down.
"Shadow Slash!"
The black fire split the enemy line into two. Because of that, the monsters also noticed their presence.
Kai then ordered, "Fire!"
