King-Chapter 1887 - 7: The Schemes of the Gods

The Snow Moon Duchy was busy training Magic Lance Soldiers as the continent’s situation grew increasingly chaotic.

The ocean couldn’t stop the invaders’ steps. With the cooperation of previous infiltrators, those monsters entered the continent through the Transport Magic Array.

The well-prepared navies of various countries ended up busying themselves for nothing. The so-called maritime defense line became a joke.

The fact that the enemy possesses a Transport Magic Array is a nightmare for all races on the continent.

Countries encountering enemy invasion are wailing, while those not yet facing invaders are equally on edge.

They dread that the enemy might attack overnight.

The only good news is that these invaders are not united. When encountering each other, they might fight among themselves.

However, drawing this conclusion now is a bit premature.

The skirmishes discovered so far have only been between the invaders and the Demon Army.

Demons, being chaotic and evil creatures, often infight among themselves.

The formation of a demon army relies entirely on the restraint of The Demon King above.

To stabilize the rear, major forces are organizing personnel to strictly investigate various cult organizations within their borders.

If anything seems amiss, troops are immediately dispatched to suppress it, leaving the enemy no chance to exploit.

Despite strict precautions, news of invaders breaking in frequently comes out.

The Continent of Aslante is vast, with large uninhabited areas besides the residential zones of various species.

The enemy sends experts to infiltrate, secretly setting up Transport Magic Arrays in uninhabited areas, becoming the greatest threat to all species.

The Alpha Empire, with the largest territory, naturally becomes the biggest victim.

In just the past month alone, five waves of invaders appeared within the Snow Moon Duchy.

Fortunately, the Transport Magic Array’s transfer capacity is not unlimited.

As long as it’s discovered in time, leaving no time for the enemy to develop, a large army can be dispatched to eradicate them.

...

"Have you deciphered the Transport Magic Array?"

Hudson asked with concern.

Specialization is key, and Magic Formation is not his strong suit.

To deduce the setup method of the Transport Magic Array from its remnants, the effort of the Mage Corps is relied upon.

"Marshal, the setup methods of these Transport Magic Arrays differ completely from the magical formation concepts circulating on the continent.

Perhaps because of different power systems, we can’t comprehend how the enemy accomplished their magic formations.

Interrogating those captives hasn’t yielded the desired answers either.

Unless we capture the person who set up the arrays, it will be very difficult for us to replicate these magic formations in a short time!"

Stein answered with a troubled expression.

As a formation master, he thought there was no formation on the continent that could stump him.

Out of curiosity about the Transport Magic Array, after Hudson issued the task, Stein immediately accepted it.

Unexpectedly, the enemy’s Transport Magic Array contrasts sharply with the magic formations on the continent, with no common ground.

Luckily, he wasn’t the only one encountering difficulties. Currently, major forces on the continent are studying the Transport Magic Array, but no one has succeeded yet.

This legendary formation significantly impacts warfare.

From the interrogation of captives, an ordinary Transport Magic Array can transfer fifty to sixty people at a time, while larger magic arrays can transfer over a hundred people.

Assuming a transfer takes one hour, in one day, a thousand troops can be deployed miles away.

The actual situation is more severe; the magic arrays can transfer not only people but also materials.

With more magic arrays set up, even more troops can be deployed.

If not extinguished immediately, they will grow like a snowball.

"Master Stein, thank you for your hard work recently.

The Transport Magic Array issue can’t be rushed. Keep researching; maybe one day we’ll crack it.

Apart from us, major forces are also investing heavily in this. I’ll contact them."

Hudson reassured.

As a good leader, comforting his subordinates’ emotions is an essential skill.

The tired expressions revealed that these formation masters have been busy recently.

The disparity in power systems and the results not meeting expectations are entirely understandable.

In fact, the history of the Continent of Aslante once included Transport Magic Arrays, though they were later lost.

As far as Hudson knows, the Elf Race possesses a Transport Magic Array. During the continental war, they provided support to various races.

Judging by the effect, the Transport Magic Array of the Elf Race is noticeably inferior. Not only is it energy-consuming, but its transfer capacity is also pitifully low.

Most likely, it was developed based on incomplete data after the Transport Magic Array was lost.

The main reason is that those elves are too laid-back. Had they invested substantial resources in this instead of fiddling with the ’Fragment Land Plan’, they might have already succeeded.

With such a war tool, even if the Human Alliance holds the overall advantage, they would be beaten in battles like never before.

If no one among the continental races possesses it, then the only entities likely to hoard it would be the Dragon Race and the gods.

It’s pointless to expect anything from the Dragon Race; Hudson barely knows them.

The only connection, Maxim, doesn’t seem to be a dragon with influence in the Dragon Race.

Even though its power has grown rapidly in recent years, among the ancient dragons, it’s still insignificant.

The more Hudson learns, the more he gains reverence.

Many powerful races rose during the Ancient Era, but only the Dragon Race escaped the gods’ scheming.

The godless Intelligent Race is more loathsome to the gods than heretics.
