Versatile Mage

“Super Fire Mage Boris is here. Observer Eagle Eye has spotted him!” Mo Fan heard in his mind.

It belonged to another captain of the Eagle Horse Skyriders with the Psychic Element. He had transmitted his voice into every Eagle Horse Skyrider’s mind, including Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan.

“How did he know which Super Mage it was?” Mo Fan asked with a confused face.

“Every Super Mage has a certain reputation. The observers know the enemy’s Super Mages by heart. They could easily tell who it is after seeing their Super Magic,” Zhao Manyan told him.

The enemy had sent out the guy with cat eyes to watch them. The Federation Army also had an observer called Eagle Eye, who was mainly focused on the enemy’s Super Mages.

The Super Fire Mage called Boris among the Brown Rebels was obviously enraged by the ambush. He had planned to wipe out the Shadow Mages with his Super Spell, yet he had only eliminated a half-dozen Eagle Horse Skyriders who did not leave in time. The others who took off into the sky were safe.

A Super Spell was as brilliant as Polaris, even when a rain of spells was pouring down on the battlefield, allowing the Federation observer to pick it out with ease.

“Such a close call! I didn’t expect there to be a Super Fire Mage close to those tents. If we had retreated a little later, we would have lost a few dozen men!” The Shadow Mage captain let out a relieved sigh.

He and his men were walking around the opening of a volcano that was on the verge of erupting. They would have been drowned in lava if they had shown any hesitation!

“Super Mages are too much for us to handle. We won’t be able to fly around the enemy camps more than three times if the enemy isn’t wary of our Super Mages too,” one of the Eagle Horse Skyriders pointed out.

His Eagle Horse had lost its tail to the flames, and was struggling to keep its balance. The strange thing was… only a bird would lose its balance after losing its tail. Why would a horse with wings on its hooves hurt its balance after losing its tail?…

The Eagle Horse Skyriders dared not stay any longer. They quickly split up and switched back to their previous formation to harass the enemy.

The dark mist veiling the area with white tents finally dissipated, leaving nothing but charred bodies behind. The Brown Rebels in the white tents turned out to be the rebel army’s logistic crew, who handled the transportation of magic ores for the Wind Warships.

The Wind Warships on the main battlefield would run out of energy after a few rounds now that the logistic crew had been taken out!

It was why Super Fire Mage Boris was so mad. The Wind Warships were the Brown Rebels’ main force. Their army’s strength would fall significantly if the Wind Warships could not replenish their energy!

“Mo Fan, how strong is that guy’s Fire Magic?” Zhao Manyan looked back at the pillars of lava.

“Stronger than mine; my Fire Element is only at the early stage of the Super Level,” Mo Fan replied calmly.

“The Brown Rebels should still have quite a few people like him,” Zhao Manyan muttered.

“Definitely… I wonder what the Federation Army is planning to do with them?”

“Damn it, we are getting closer to Wu Ku, but we still can’t make our way to him! We have to go through several more camps to get to him. The Brown Rebels are really treating him like their Heavenly Sensei!” Zhao Manyan cursed.

Mo Fan nodded.

Wu Ku’s location was also the enemy’s main camp, which was several times larger than the area of white tents. It was very likely that they had elite soldiers of the Brown Rebels stationed there, unlike the logistic crew’s defenders!

The Brown Rebels’ camps were like a heavily-guarded fortress, and Wu Ku was in the main castle with tight security. They could already see the magnificent castle, yet it was extremely difficult to fight their way to it.

The enemy also had the observer with cat eyes, so Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan could not help but worry.

If they used their ultimates right away, the enemy would just back away temporarily. When the enemy returned, their ultimates would still be on cooldown.

“Wind company, cancel your attack. Super Fire Mage Boris has shown up…” the same voice echoed in everyone’s mind.

Around a kilometer and half away, the Wind Mages among the Eagle Horse Skyriders were about to pull the same trick as the Shadow Mages, but the enemy had already noticed their intentions. The angry Super Fire Mage was heading toward the area they were targeting!

Mo Fan saw the Wind Mages quickly splitting up with the help of their Wind Tracks. The Fire Star Palace that was half-constructed on the ground was withdrawn.

An adept Super Mage still needed between five to seven seconds to construct a Star Palace.

The Wind Riders had outstanding speed, and had withdrawn as soon as they received the warning. They were able to speed three hundred meters away in the five seconds after the Star Palace of three hundred and forty-three Stars was spotted.

The Shadow Riders had become the Brown Rebels’ biggest problem, while the Wind Riders were constantly kiting their enemy. Several Super Mages of the Brown Rebels were forced to attack, yet their best result was only taking out a dozen-some Eagle Horse Skyriders. The number of casualties among the nine hundred Eagle Horse Skyriders was still below thirty.

The Brown Rebels were starting to feel frustrated and impatient. The damage dealt to the Eagle Horse Skyriders was almost negligible after so long. They were still flying around the Brown Rebels’ camps in circles and harassing them!

Most frustratingly, a troop of Eagle Horse Skyriders kept picking on the Brown Rebels’ logistic crew, signalers, and soldiers with special duties, like a game of eagle and chicks. It patiently waited for the chicks to show themselves, instead of attacking the fierce hens!

“Mo Fan, look over there!” Zhao Manyan suddenly pointed at an area on the outskirts of the enemy camps.

Mo Fan followed Zhao Manyan’s finger, and saw a dark demon crawling out of an altar that had been drawn in blood in the sky. It was emitting a ghastly blood-red aura!

The demon caught the Super Fire Mage they had encountered before and tossed him into the sky!

“AHHHHH!”

The Ruler-level Eagle Horse with blue-golden feathers happened to pass by. The horn on its head punctured Boris’ body like the lance of a knight!

Blood poured down from the sky in huge blobs as Boris struggled fiercely on the Eagle Horse’s horn. He was glaring at Lieutenant General Dutch, who was riding the Eagle Horse.

The Ruler-level Eagle Horse shrieked and flung its head, tossing Boris off its horn in a trail of blood. Many Eagle Horses immediately flew at him and kicked at his body.

“Super Fire Mage Boris is dead!” Eagle Eye’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

The fact immediately raised the morale of the Eagle Horse Skyriders. One of the enemy’s Super Mages had been slain; it was like taking down an enemy commander!

“That old general is f**king insane. I didn’t even notice him making his move!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

Mo Fan did not notice him, either. He suddenly realized he had not seen Lieutenant General Dutch or received an order from him for some time. Little did he know, the lieutenant general had long had his eyes on the enemy’s Super Mage!

Mo Fan had no idea how he did it. The demon Summoned from the blood-red altar had to be some kind of Curse Magic!
