Alex immediately realized that it was too late, so he gave up the support plan, turned the airship around and fled.

The most important thing now is to bring back all the information here intact!

……

Greenriel City, Corona Tower, in the Sky Realm.

More than a hundred congressmen gathered in the conference room, passing on the information sent from Yieta one after another.

"It seems that the war is coming much faster than we expected..." Raphael murmured after reading the letter in his hand, then turned his head to look at Lin En and said with admiration. "You have a group of good pilots... Master Lin En."

The other councillors also nodded. Five civilians who could not perform magic had sacrificed their lives to kill more than a dozen griffin knights. In a sense, their deaths were very valuable...

The price of a newest airship is only 2,000 magic coins, and the cost will be even lower...

Lin En felt sorry for Hami and the others. In his opinion, five skilled pilots were far more valuable than killing a few griffin knights.

Right now, Yieta's workshop is producing airships at a very fast speed, but there is a severe shortage of pilots, and it is very difficult to train them.

"I just read in the intelligence that the Holy See seems to have found a way to break the hellfire..." a congressman said hesitantly.

Hearing this, everyone present looked at Lin En.

Thanks to the parliament's propaganda and various rumors circulating in the market, they are very familiar with the legendary deeds of the magic star in front of them, and naturally they also know that the other party can create an eternal hellfire.

When Lin En was still a three-ring wizard, he used it to destroy half of the town. He also used it to defeat the kingdom's elite army not long ago. These two legion-level achievements were undoubtedly very hardcore, so this peculiar flame has almost become the symbol of this magic star!

Rumor has it that this thing was summoned by Lin En from endless purgatory. This flame will burn and devour human skin and flesh. As long as one is contaminated by a little bit of flame, there is no way to escape the fate of death.

The sacrifice of Hami and others was able to bring about such a good result this time, and the white phosphorus fragmentation bomb developed by Lin En also played an indispensable role.

Raphael certainly didn't believe in the existence of the so-called hellfire, but he also didn't expect the Vatican to find a solution so quickly...

Chapter 330: Why don’t you try my laser anti-aircraft cannon?

Under everyone's gaze, Lin En looked calm and said casually, "Any magic can be cracked, and my white phosphorus is no exception."

It was precisely because of this that after entering the wizarding land, he had been very careful to keep information about white phosphorus.

This thing can only bully those uneducated bishops in the Sekas Empire. If you dare to use it on a large scale in the wizard land, wizards will soon be able to replicate it.

After all, phosphorus is not difficult to manufacture. In order to achieve large-scale production, he also handed over this technology to several trustworthy wizards in the Alchemy Research Institute.

In fact, after breaking through to the great wizard level, the importance of white phosphorus to Lin En has been greatly weakened, because this thing is still a little bit lacking in the battle at the great wizard level. Not to mention, a vacuum field can greatly reduce its power. Even if white phosphorus fire is produced on a large scale, it is only equivalent to the power of the fourth or fifth ring magic.

The properties of white phosphorus also determine that its upper limit will not be too high...

But it doesn’t matter. Among the many terrifying weapons recorded in the intelligent computer, white phosphorus bombs can only be described as mediocre...

He listed it as the first option mainly because it is easier to make.

"It just so happens that I have conceived a new, more powerful fire magic these days, and it's time for it to be eliminated..." Lin En said with emotion.

White phosphorus was once his trump card, which helped him solve many problems, but now it can't keep up with his growth.

As a great wizard, he can easily do many things that he couldn't do before, such as creating some combination elements with more complex chemical properties...

For other wizards, creating a powerful new magic is by no means an easy task, and it is common to spend years or even decades. But for Lin En, he can always get some inspiration by looking for information in the inventory of the intelligent computer.

Raphael and others' faces twitched. There was actually a fire magic more powerful than the hellfire. They thought it was outrageous enough.

Lin En didn't intend to explain further. Instead, he raised his hand and knocked on the conference table, drawing everyone's attention away from the white phosphorus fire. They had more important matters to deal with.

"According to the intelligence obtained by the pilots using telescopes, the Imperial Army that crossed the border this time should be more than 30,000 people. In addition to the Griffin Knights, there is also a special team of about 5,000 people. All of them are wearing bright silver armor. They don't look simple."

"And their leader is a man wearing an iron mask and a red and gold robe. We can't see his face and his age is unknown." Lin En said in a deep voice.

Although the two had looked at each other across the sea in Harbor Town, Lin En did not have such good eyesight at that time, so he only knew that someone summoned the phantom of the goddess to stop the spread of the white phosphorus fire, but he did not know who it was.

"The leader should be Edelweir, a cardinal of the Holy See. Rumor has it that he is highly respected in the church and may even become the next chief judge..." Harrov explained.

He often stayed in the wizarding land and never went out, but this did not mean that the Parliament had no spies in the Empire. The basic intelligence was still clear.

Last year, the city of Greenrill was nearly destroyed by those crazy doomsday cultists. Harov learned from the pain and increased investment in the intelligence system.

But now it seems to have little effect, because his spies told him three days ago that the imperial army should still be gathering in the east, but the other side has turned around and invaded the kingdom. If it weren't for the airships deployed by Lin En that have been monitoring the border, I'm afraid they would still be kept in the dark.

Harrov paused, then continued, "As for those silver-armored troops, they should be the Holy See's Divine Punishment Army!"

Lin En frowned. He had certainly heard of this most elite legion of the Holy See. It was rumored that all the members of this legion had been blessed by the gods. They were extremely brave in battle and were the elite among the elite.

"This is most likely just a vanguard force!" Aurora warned.

They have taken over the entire kingdom, and the battle in the capital also exposed part of the strength of the [Society of Secret Arts]. No matter how arrogant the Holy See is, it is impossible for them to send only such a small number of people, even if they are elite.

The series of bad news made the congressmen present look worried. The God's Punishment Army on the ground was not so bad. No matter how elite they were, they had the capital to fight with their more advanced musket troops.

But the griffin knights in the sky are a big trouble that is difficult to solve. As long as they exist, the airships will not be able to take off for bombing, and their magic can hardly hit the griffin army whose speed and reaction ability are extremely fast in the sky.

It's impossible to let the airship rely on self-destruction every time, right?

The intelligence was very clear. This time the Griffin Knights wanted to seize control of the airship. Only by capturing the pilot alive would they have such a good chance. Otherwise, they could simply use divine magic to destroy it from a distance.

"Perhaps we can consider letting some shaping wizards transform into flying monsters to protect these airships." A great wizard suggested.

"Are you crazy to let them fight against griffins in the sky?" Sanchez angrily denounced the other party's unrealistic idea, which was simply making a joke of the life of the shaping wizard.

Once the magical transformation is completed, the wizard will lose part of his ability to cast spells, and it will be difficult to defeat a powerful monster like a griffin alone in the sky, not to mention those griffin knights who can cooperate in casting divine spells.

"Do you have a better way to deal with it?" the great wizard asked with a sneer.

Although his idea would inevitably result in great losses, it was still a solution...

Sanchez choked and thought for a long time before he carefully suggested that they could not let the airship take off and give up air superiority. If those griffin knights dared to attack close to the ground, they would fight back fiercely with muskets and magic.

"Why not try laser?" Lynn suddenly spoke up amid the discussion.

The appearance of these griffin knights was somewhat beyond his expectations. It was obviously too late to develop newer aircraft now, so he might as well try the laser anti-aircraft cannon!

"Laser?!" Aurora looked at Lin En in surprise, and then she reacted. "Are you talking about that new beam magic?"

Harov and others suddenly felt enlightened. This was indeed a very good idea.

Aren’t those griffin riders very fast and agile?

But no matter how fast it is, can it be as fast as light?

That's a laser that travels at nearly 300,000 kilometers per second and can circle the continent seven and a half times!

Chapter 331: Even with the help of the [Secret Society], it may not be possible to defeat such a monster

Lin En's words opened the door to a new world for everyone present. They had already experienced the power of laser magic in the experiment of measuring the speed of light a few days ago. It could only be described as terrifying, especially when the beam was shot out. No one could dodge it...

However, it does have some disadvantages. That is, the farther the distance, the weaker the power. The effective killing distance is about 300 to 400 meters. If you want to deal with griffins that can fly thousands of meters high, you must improve it again to strengthen its power...

The congressmen enthusiastically discussed the improvement plan of this beam magic.

Since our understanding of optics was still in its infancy, these improvements were limited to making more powerful light sources and how to focus them on a single point.

Raphael suggested that they could directly equip the airship with some wizards who could use light magic and launch attacks from the air, which would greatly shorten the distance...

Lin En did not participate in the discussion, but he already had a plan in mind. The laser magic he mentioned was not as simple as just gathering light...

Laser is commonly known as light emitted by stimulated atomic radiation. It is when the electrons in atoms absorb energy and transition from a low energy level to a high energy level, and then fall back from a high energy level to a low energy level, the released energy is released in the form of photons. It is known as the most accurate ruler and the fastest knife!

The Federation's laser weapon technology has also been very advanced. All he needs to do is convert the relevant theories into magic, which should be done in a few days.

Also not participating in the discussion was Sanchez, who had little knowledge of optics. Instead, he was very interested in another thing.

"Master Lin En, I heard that during the battle of the [Secret Law Society] to capture the capital, the kingdom's cardinal summoned the projection of that... false god. Is that true?"

"Not bad!" Lynn nodded.

"I wonder which legend from the [Arcane Society] took action?" Harof on the side asked curiously.

He knew very well that even if it was just a projection of [Ella], it possessed power beyond that of a great wizard, which was not something Lin En and others could deal with.

The wizards present were all very curious about this. Although the Magic Daily described the final outcome of the battle, it did not mention the entire process in detail.

Lin En shook his head and said calmly, "In fact, the general plan for building the Magic Kingdom was agreed upon by Anthony and I. There were not many scholars involved, and it was not an order issued by the [Secret Society]."

In other words, there is no help from the legendary wizard?

Harov was very curious, how did they defeat the projection of the false god...

Seeing that everyone was asking about it, Lin En had no intention of hiding anything and briefly recounted the events of the Battle of the Royal Capital. In the end, in order to destroy the support of the projection, he gathered the power of hundreds of official wizards and the six-ring great wizard Anthony. Everyone used thunder magic to charge the special electromagnetic railgun, which then launched a legendary attack.

Of course, after that shot, the electromagnetic railgun that was damaged by overload was sent for repair...

"You are really brave!" Aurora exclaimed in amazement.

When she heard Lin En talk about the magic kingdom plan before, she thought it was formulated by the leaders of the [Society of Secret Magic].

After all, splitting off a kingdom from the empire, where the Holy See was the most powerful, was a move that was truly shocking!

The most important thing is that Lin En and others actually did it!

[Magic Creator] Vittorio was very interested in this electromagnetic weapon. He had used it once when facing August a year ago, and he still remembered its power vividly.

"Fortunately, everything went well, didn't it?" Lynn said without comment.

Thinking back now, that battle was indeed very thrilling. Although he had used the safest means and used the blessings of celestial phenomena and geographical advantages to directly "kill" Anluk, he did not expect that the other party had the ability to entrust his soul to others, and even summoned the projection of the goddess with the help of the prayers of tens of thousands of devout believers.

It was not until later that he learned from Hattar that the object Anruk used to summon the phantom of God was a holy object that had been kept in the church for believers to worship.

Fortunately, I had prepared the electromagnetic railgun, a powerful trump card, in advance, otherwise I would have been unable to withstand it.

Now the attention of the Holy See has been drawn to it just as they expected...

"Since you have faced her projection and even fought with it, can you roughly determine her current condition?" Aurora asked solemnly.

This is also the biggest variable in this war and what they are most worried about.

After winning the war of faith, Ella did something crazier than any psychic wizard ever did!

She created the Church, proclaimed herself the true God, forged the creation legend in the Bible, and after hundreds of years of domestication, turned the entire empire into a pasture of faith. No one knew to what extent her power had grown.

Aurora couldn't guess whether the other party had found a way to get rid of the soul pollution.

As for the so-called divine descent of the Holy See, according to her guess, it was probably a more powerful projection magic, using the holy relic of faith as an anchor to allow one's will to descend...
