Iya Continent: Card God

Fadolan had long considered that this surprise force, aimed at the main city of Coposte, was not only comparable to a diamond-level unit in terms of its initial attack power, but also, given the weighty mission, must be commanded by an exceptionally powerful general.

Sure enough, the Archer General, one of the twelve generals of the empire, was there to provide cover at all times.

"Whoosh! Snap!"

In the distant heavens, the bird-man Sagittarius, flapping his wings, chuckled and held a full-moon bow.

For the enemy, he is an incredibly troublesome foe. The reason is simple: this enemy is too far away! He can attack you from tens of thousands of meters away.

“However, I am a magician.” Fadolan’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked resolutely in the direction from which the arrow had been shot.

Magicians are beings that can repel enemies from thousands of meters away.

The pioneering academy's magic students immediately understood their instructor Faldoran's meaning and promptly attacked the elite soldiers riding lizard-ostriches. First, they couldn't allow them to cross Lost Bay during this opportunity. Second, they couldn't allow them to interfere with their instructor Faldoran's battle against the Imperial General.

"Flash Technique!"

"Thunderbolt!"

A remarkable magical technique was unleashed upon the group of raiding soldiers.

These raiding party members were not wearing anti-magic armor at the moment, but rather light armor designed for speed and mobility. They had no way to completely resist magical attacks.

"Retreat down to the bottom!" the commander shouted, leading his soldiers at lightning speed as they swooped down the mountainside, using the unique angle of the terrain to block the magical attacks.

"Buzz!" "Boom!"

In addition to facing attacks from these pioneering mage students, they must also be wary of the mountain giants created by Faldoran arcane magic. These mountain giants are towering and enormous, and although they appear clumsy, every move they make is a deadly attack; their destructive power causes mountains to crumble and the earth to tremble.

"call out!!!"

However, the Imperial Raiders were extremely fast and had accurate and calm command, so dodging the two attacks was relatively common.

Of course, their battles are not the key point.

The outcome of this battle will ultimately be decided by the magician Fadolan and the Sagittarius general.

"Whoosh!"

A single arrow, piercing the wind and clouds, hurtled towards Fadolland from a distance of ten thousand meters.

Fadolan focused intently, sensing the movement and release of magic in the distance. With a calm gesture, he raised his hand, and the earth's rocks bulged up, forming a massive stone slab that blocked the arrow's attack.

The arrow from Sagittarius pierced through a stone slab wall, its power and speed decreasing sharply before being blocked by a second stone slab wall.

"Hehe." The birdman general let out a slightly excited laugh.

With a flap of his wings, he soared through the wind, instantly moving from one cloud to another. Simply put, he closed the distance between himself and Fadolan, reducing the ten-thousand-meter gap to nine thousand meters!

"Hmm?" Fadolan's eyes narrowed, sensing something was amiss.

"Try this arrow again!" Fadolan drew his bow to its fullest extent, his tense voice brimming with powerful magic, poised to unleash a fierce and menacing attack.

"Whoosh-!"

Another arrow was fired, like a cannon shot, with a deafening roar.

Fadolan frowned, his mind focused, and in a flash of insight, he deeply sensed the difference this arrow made.

Faster!

"rise!"

They lifted the earth's stone slabs once more, forming a defensive stone wall.

"Bang! Whoosh!"

However, this time, the stone slab wall was shattered and pierced directly, just like the powerful stone wall last time, and the arrow's speed did not slow down visibly.

"Ok!"

Fadolan reacted swiftly, erecting another stone wall. "Thump! Thump!!!"

Then, connect the three stone walls again.

The arrow flew swiftly towards the stone wall. "Bang!" After the sound of shattering and exploding, the arrow's momentum weakened. "Bang!" Another sound rang out as the second side was pierced through. Finally, the arrow pierced the third side, its momentum completely halted, and the arrow stopped hanging in mid-air.

"drink!"

Fadolan glared and hissed, feeling apprehensive.

It's only advanced a thousand meters, yet its power has increased so much. If it gets any closer...

"Hehe!" "Whoosh! Snap!"

Sagittarius will smile triumphantly, flap its wings, and take flight again to close the distance.

At this moment, the distance to Fadolan is only five kilometers!

"Alright, this time, we can end it here. I don't have much time to waste with you like this." Sagittarius drew back the bowstring and murmured.

Fadolan's expression was extremely solemn. This time, he didn't know what kind of defense he would need to block an arrow from five thousand meters away. Or would he not even have a chance to defend himself, as the next arrow would be incredibly fast and pierce through him instantly?

Sagittarius will smile as he observes the other's fearful expression, and an arrow imbued with deadly magic will be ready to strike.

"Sizzle! Hiss!"

"Forehead?"

At that moment, the bird-man archer general suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Strange weather phenomena were occurring within a radius of several hundred meters around me.

Storms and tornadoes flowed with a shimmering purple magic.

"This is the creation of arcane magic...when did it begin?"

Sagittarius's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze returned to Fadolland, five thousand meters away. At this moment, the other party's fearful expression had vanished, replaced only by a look of delight that he had finally fallen into the trap.

“Five thousand meters, that’s exactly my perfect, limit distance,” Fadolan said in a deep voice.

He knew this Sagittarius general's methods all too well. He could kill enemies from tens of thousands of meters away; the shorter the distance, the faster and more powerful his attacks. He preferred to slowly close the distance to probe, or rather, torment his enemies.

Fadoran can unleash elemental magic attacks from ten thousand meters away, but such attacks are meaningless. They're too slow, giving the opponent time to react. Secondly, they consume a significant amount of mana, making them a pure waste. The most meaningful use is to set up arcane traps within a five-thousand-meter radius. At this distance, one can silently set them up in advance, undetected by the enemy. Once the enemy enters the range, the traps can be activated immediately.

What Fadolan himself had to do was insist that the opponent close the gap by 5,000 meters.

"Drink up!"

In a fit of rage, the Sagittarius general fired this arrow.

The arrow, capable of piercing mountain peaks, suddenly slowed its fierce momentum the moment it collided with the arcane tornado that formed it. The swirling power of the tornado dispersed the force of its charge to the left and right.

"Sizzle! Boom!" Moreover, this storm carried lightning arcs and powerful thunderbolts, further suppressing the storm.

Sagittarius will show a look of horror. This thunder tornado is shrinking continuously, and its power is astonishing.

"Hehehe..."

Sagittarius will gradually start to laugh strangely, and the tense expression from before will gradually disappear.

The magician Fadolan looked doubtful, wondering about the other person's emotions and appearance. Had he gone mad?

Sagittarius twisted his neck with a strange smile, quite composed: "I originally intended to use it against the seated mages, but now, I can only start with you."
