"Ah, this..."

Uru suddenly remembered that he had actually learned this knowledge!

Back when the Dragon Empire began forming its mage legions, the empire's military academy started incorporating knowledge about magic into its curriculum.

After all, the weak physiques of the mage legion made it impossible for them to fight independently. A single cavalry charge could wipe out the mage legion, so they could only fight in coordination with other units.

If the leaders of these troops do not have a detailed understanding of magicians, they simply cannot lead magic troops effectively.

Uru had naturally learned some basic knowledge about magic, including that magicians should never be interrupted from casting spells under any circumstances, otherwise magicians suffering from the backlash of magic could easily die.

However, it was something he had learned decades ago, and Uru didn't remember it very clearly. In addition, he had only acted against these mages in a moment of panic when he saw the air force of the Divine Machine Legion mobilize.

Actually, this can't be blamed on Uru. It's likely that all the generals of the Dragon Empire have long forgotten the knowledge about magic they once learned.

The mage legion has a history of several hundred years, but for all these years, the Dragon Empire has kept this mage legion, which numbers as many as 200,000, hidden away. Even when Zong Xiaozhang was about to invade the Dragon Empire, he did not send out this army.

Therefore, the generals of the Dragon Empire had absolutely no experience leading magic legions in battle.

In fact, it's not just the Dragon Empire; aren't the generals of the Rune Empire the same?

Back when he was at the military academy, the textbooks at the Rune Empire's military academy included courses on mages. However, when he saw a real army of mages, Camor, who had learned this knowledge before, forgot it all.

For General Jackal, assisting the deposed emperor of the Rune Empire, Lant, in attacking the Divine Machine Legion seems to be the battle that the new emperor is most concerned about. He not only gave him two million troops, but also allocated fifty thousand magic legions.

At first, General Jackal was full of confidence.

Looking across the entire continent, all military units are composed of millions of soldiers. Who has ever commanded a military unit of two million? This time, I am. Who has ever led fifty thousand mages into battle? This time, I am.

Therefore, even when facing the Rune Empire's Divine Machine Legion, which had earned a formidable reputation in the Holy War, Uru still felt confident of victory.

However, it was precisely because of forgetting the knowledge about magicians that he made a serious mistake.

Suddenly, a sentence echoed in Uru's mind—a speech given by the academy's dean when he first arrived at the military academy!

"As human beings, we cannot avoid making mistakes. So, we should not be afraid of making mistakes, as long as we can correct them. Sometimes, some mistakes can even turn bad things into good things."

However, as a general, as a leader, one absolutely cannot afford to make mistakes, because sometimes even a small error can escalate into something fatal on the battlefield!

"hehe!"

Uru gave a bitter smile, looking at the various giants emerging again from beneath the enemy's city walls, and then at the dense array of hot air balloons five hundred meters above the sky. He knew he had lost!

Under normal circumstances, these mages might still be able to attack the hot air balloon at an altitude of 500 meters, but now, the mages have already cast three high-level combined summoning spells in one day.

These magicians were already exhausted; they had no mental or magical energy left to attack those hot air balloons.

"General Tek, I'm so sorry, it was my negligence that led to this situation!"

Uru looked at the mage's legion commander with a guilty expression.

"But look, the enemy's air force actually took to the air while our mages were casting spells. There is no doubt that it won't be long before we face the most terrifying attack on this continent!"

Uru also closed his eyes, but unlike Zongze's closing of his eyes, Uru's face showed a painful expression as he closed his eyes.

He was reminiscing, recalling the terrifying combat power of the Divine Machine Legion's air force during the Holy War!

"You'll never know!"

Perhaps noticing the bewildered expression on the mage legion commander's face, Uru sighed deeply, "I've participated in the Holy War and witnessed just how terrifying these flying creatures are!"

The mage nodded. Even if Uru hadn't said anything, as a mage, he could understand the combat power of an aerial force, after all, mages were synonymous with ranged attackers!

Suddenly, the magician had an idea, and his eyes lit up: "My lord, since the enemy hasn't flown over to attack us, why don't we take the initiative and attack them?"

"A proactive attack?" Uru smiled bitterly again: "General Teke, what can we use to attack? You don't know, the Audit Corps has a terrifying weapon called a bomb. One bomb can kill hundreds of people!"

Just imagine, in a moment, thousands of these bombs will rain down on our heads and around us. Where are we supposed to launch a proactive attack?

"My lord, you have not understood what I mean!"

Although Tek was still furious that Uru had destroyed dozens of his capable men with a single sword strike, it was wartime after all, and even if he wanted to do something to Uru, he would have to wait until the war was over and he returned home!

"What I mean is, isn't the enemy only about 500,000 soldiers? I think there are at least 100,000 people on these big balloons, which means there are only a little over 300,000 people in the enemy city right now!"

My mages still have some magic power left. Although it's not enough for an attack, if we all work together, we can still turn this cliff into a gentle slope!

"Why don't we just send a large army to attack the city? I refuse to believe that two million troops can't handle a mere three hundred thousand. Besides, no matter how powerful their bombs are, once we're engaged in battle with their people, how can they attack us?"

"Yes!"

Uru immediately understood: if his own people were fighting the enemy's people, then the enemy's air force would be useless, and neither arrow attacks nor bomb attacks would be effective.

Unless the other side disregards the lives of their comrades, I believe no one would dare to attack blindly!

Uru's personality is to act on his thoughts. While Camor's men were still in the air, the soldiers on the city wall witnessed another miracle of magic!

In just three minutes, the cliff, which was originally a hundred meters high, was transformed into a gentle slope that led directly to the city wall!
