Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 382: Total War (Subscription Request)
Sara City, East District, Slums.

A worker who had just got off work was walking on the road. He was wearing a special blue and white suit, smelling of sweat and with an indelible look of fatigue on his face.

He walked along the street, wobbling a little, but he still ordered some food at a roadside stall.

After eating the bread and bacon, plus a cup of strong coffee, his complexion finally looked much better.

There are really a lot of people like this here. Although Sara City is not the core of the empire, there are still some factories.

However, no one noticed that when he was eating, he seemed to feel something and couldn't help but look up.

The direction he was looking at was the South City District!
But the next second, he lowered his head again, his expression was extremely ugly, his eyes flickered a few times, and he made a decision.

He stuffed the food into his mouth in a few gulps and drank the coffee. He counted out a few copper coins and went into an alley.

When he walked out of another alley, he was no longer a worker, but a young girl with freckles all over her face.

He was wearing a turban, a coarse cloth garment that had been patched many times, and a basket in his hand. He had a timid expression and seemed very scared.

His walking posture became much lighter, no longer with the long strides of a man, but instead on tiptoe and hopping like a girl.

He walked along the street towards the city gate, like a girl who had bought something and was about to go home.

Not long after he left, there were more people here.

Some of them wore armor, some carried swords, some carried bows and quivers, and some led dogs, sniffing around everywhere...

Normally, they should be very conspicuous with this kind of attire, but in reality, passers-by seemed to ignore their existence.

Looking closely, one can see that they are surrounded by a strange magical power that unconsciously affects the people around them.

This wasn't some kind of invisibility magic, but it simply blocked the thinking of these mortals, causing them to instinctively ignore it.

Of course, since they ignored it, there was no one in front of them, they walked back and forth in a straight line and did not know how to avoid.

But these people were extremely agile, and they avoided the collision by crossing their steps.

Until finally, they stopped in front of a roadside stall.

One of them was dressed as a wizard, holding an exquisite compass in his hand. There were layers of intricate magic patterns on it, and it emitted a faint light as magic power was injected into it.

At this point, the compass needle began to spin wildly, as if it was having a seizure.

At this moment, the mage started cursing, "Fuck, fuck, fuck, I lost more, more!"

"What kind of damn secret treasure does this Gallino have that can make the holy artifact and compass malfunction again and again? I just, just..."

The wizard was almost going crazy. He even raised the compass in his hand and wanted to smash it down.

But the next second, his hand was grabbed.

A man with two guns on his waist and a rapier on his back stopped him. When their eyes met, the man said seriously, "If I were you, I would control my temper and cast the spell quickly!

We can still shirk responsibility if we don’t catch the person, but if we lose track of him, we will definitely be punished when we return!”

"You should know more about the methods in the black prison than I do. Which one are you going to use?"

The wizard seemed to have thought of something, and his whole body trembled. He looked up and looked at the people around him. He immediately calmed down.

"Everyone, I'm really angry. Wait a minute, I'm going to cast a spell, I'm going to cast a spell!"

Having said this, he stood up straight, took out a bottle of potion and drank it, then closed his eyes slightly, concentrated and calmed himself, recovering for a moment.

As a fourth-level wizard, his strength has never been weak, and his magic power is particularly abundant.

But the sleepless pursuit was too exhausting for him, so much so that now he had to use potions to recover before casting spells, and he also had to think for a while and calm his mind.

To be honest, this was something he had never dared to think about before, but in this mission, he really saw how difficult that person was.

A mysterious spell mixed with Dragon Language and Celestial Language sounded, with a unique oral resonance, and the sound it made was indeed a bit strange.

But as he chanted, the magic power vibrated in all directions, and in this small area, time seemed to have gone back.

Countless people were either walking backwards or stopping, their figures were intertwined, and their voices were speaking in the opposite direction, which looked extremely strange.

Until everything came to a complete stop, as it focused on the blue and white worker who raised his head and looked towards the south area.

It was as if the pause button was pressed, the world froze, and only the people around were staring at the figure of the worker.

Each and every one of them is filled with murderous intent!
If before, they were just doing it for the mission, or had some thoughts of revenge for the crown prince, now, they really want to kill him as soon as possible.

The wizard was not the only one who was tired. All of them worked without sleep. When the spell ended, the wizard raised his hand and waved it. It was as if the illusory figure was pulled out of the frozen picture and fell into the compass again.

Then, the compass needle, which had been spinning wildly, stopped and pointed in the direction of leaving the city.

The next second, the domesticated hound rushed out at a very fast speed.

Later, a group of people followed immediately.

Even the wizard, panting, cast a few more spells on himself and chased after him all the way.

Going back in time and using the holy weapon, the pointing compass, they can directly lock onto the soul. This is why they can always track it.

Other means of tracking, such as breath and appearance, have long been ineffective!

But even with this method, as long as the other party changes his skin, you have to start all over again.

At this time, outside the city, in a dense forest.

The girl put down the flower basket, suddenly stretched out a hand and put it directly to her face.

His movements were so ferocious that it felt like he was going to poke himself blind, but in fact, his face was distorted as if he was really holding on to something.

Then, he pulled it out with all his might!
At this moment, he let out a low roar, the pain surged like a tide, and there were countless noisy voices in his mind, making it unbearable for him.

But he still pulled firmly until the attachment was pulled out, revealing the face of Gary Mills. Then he knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

His face was covered in sweat, and his eyes showed relief at surviving the disaster.

He was holding a wooden mask in his hand, which looked nothing special.
But who knew that the mask of the Thousand Faces Man was really powerful, much more powerful than Luo Yi thought, but also evil enough.

After just a short rest, Gary Mills seemed to sense something again. He turned around again, his pupils turned into eagle eyes, and with his super danger perception, he had discovered the pursuer again.

He shook his head with a wry smile, but the next second, he put the mask back on his face.

As he approached, his movements froze, but the image of Mrs. Linda flashed through his mind.

In my ears, Luo Yi’s words seemed to still echo: Come back alive!

Finally, without any hesitation, he put on the mask, dressed up as a hunter, ran forward swiftly, and disappeared into the forest.

Not long after he left, the third squad of the Imperial Hawkdogs caught up with him and looked at the compass spinning randomly.
This time, not only the mage, but others couldn't help but curse out loud as well.

There is no doubt that this is a long tug-of-war!
The Empire's purge of the Serbs never stopped, nor was it limited to the city of Sara or the headquarters of the Rebirth Front.

Rather, it was a comprehensive, indiscriminate, and even "rather kill the wrong people than let them go" purge throughout the province of Bosnia.

The turmoil in the Old Continent caused by this was beyond everyone's imagination.

……

On July 314, 7 of the New God Calendar, the Empire officially announced that the Serb Renaissance Front was a traitorous organization and the military would spare no effort to eliminate it.

On July 314, 7 of the New God Calendar, the Imperial Army dispatched the Second and Fourth Imperial Armies, totaling 28 men, to formally enter the Bosnia Province.
An almost unreasonable purge began!

This time, the legion first captured the governor of the Bosnia province, accusing him of treason, and then completely killed almost all the nobles from top to bottom!
For the empire, everything here is rotten to the core, so it is better to just cut the weeds and eradicate them completely.

This purge also awakened everyone's fear of the empire.

Perhaps in recent years, the empire has been very restrained in order to develop the magic industry, but the Hohenzollern family was able to unify this area by fighting their way out of a sea of blood and corpses.

The Serbs responded quickly and asked other countries for help.

To no one's surprise, the first target of the Serb Revival Front was not the Bonaparte Empire, but the Slavic Empire in the east.

What no one expected was that the Habsburg Empire's reaction was so intense.

On August 314, 8 of the New Divine Calendar, the Habsburg Empire officially declared war on the Slavic Empire.

On August 314, 8 of the New Divine Calendar, the Habsburg Empire declared war on the Bonaparte Empire again.

Of course, the old aristocratic alliance finally responded.

Therefore, on August 314, 8 of the New Divine Calendar, the Kingdom of Sardinia officially declared war on the Habsburg Empire and began to mobilize its navy.

But on the same day, the Habsburg Empire's army officially invaded the Carolingian Kingdom and fired the first shot of the war.

At this point, in just a few short days, the Old Continent has undergone tremendous changes.

The conflicts between the countries in the Old World can no longer be suppressed, and an all-out war has officially begun!
