Thusiah saw the gigantic spaceship that they have to destroy to complete their mission. 

He could only smile at that thought since he couldn't imagine that their airship's small cannons and Grade 3 Mana Spells can penetrate the thick armor of that vessel…

Of course, he was also not afraid of facing them since they still have a secret weapon with them, the mutated magicians or what they call Terror Mages that were sent by the Research Institute of their country…

He looked at his men that are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world… He is proud of them…

He stood gracefully at the bow of the airship, despite his tough frame… 

"Everyone! You know why you're here!"

Thusiah shouted and was responded by the roars of the magicians. They were all from Seiji and were sent here to help the State of Kazan. However, they know that this country doesn't have that much power as they were focused on the trade industry… 

This is why he wasn't expecting much help from their people but at least help them buy some time…

The man smiled after hearing his men and continued…

"Destroy everything in your path! Do not show mercy on these Aliens! Charge!"

As soon as he said this, all their airships fired at the flying vessels and humanoid machines of the invaders.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They successfully hit most of them but because they are scattered, they couldn't help a lot of people that are being chased by the aliens…

He signaled to Flying Mage Battalions to start their operations…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Over a hundred flying magicians came out of the airship and targeted the aliens… They used the Seiji's Exclusive Magic Series called Scholar Series that could fight equally against the Royal and Enchant Series that is popular in Zairus.

Various elemental spells were thrown as they looked so beautiful if being viewed above…

If they are not in a war, Thusiah would surely appreciate such a view…

He glanced below and noticed that there's a lot of people on the ground that are still dying due to the Marauder Gears of the invaders.

They do not have soldiers to bring the citizens into safety as all of them are here to strike the invaders while they are still not used to the environment.

The other units on the ground were still taking time to arrive as not everyone could fit in the Airship… They should be arriving within 10 more minutes and they would surely help these escaping citizens. 

They just have to focus on fighting the invaders for now.

Whoozzhh!

A beam of light blinded Thusiah and as soon as he managed to adjust his eyes, he saw one of the airships not too far from theirs was shot… 

If he would make a comparison, it was like Wallace's Laser Focus that the man introduced not too long ago that was also copied by multiple organizations. However, this Laser Focus used by the aliens is extremely large and the one that Wallace made would be considered a cute one…

Thusiah clenched his fist as he didn't know whether they could defend against that if they were the ones shot instead.

Nevertheless, he made another signal using his magic light, and the remaining soldiers boarded on the airships jump out!

They are the Terror Mages! 

It doesn't matter whether their airships would be destroyed… No, it's actually better if they decided to use it on their airship instead of using it on the ground with tons of people.

"Terror Mages! Do not falter!"

Thusiah shouted as he needs to get these mages near the spaceships… Once they managed to do so, they would have a great chance of turning around the situation.

He commanded all the airships of their country and use everything they got to cover the Terror Mages on their charge…

Of course, this means that they are also targeted by numerous turrets and cannons of the Empire…

It would be a miracle if they managed to survive that…

Boom! Boom!

The airships were destroyed one by one but at the very least, they were successful! 

The Terror Mages were just a hundred meters away from the spaceships! They did it!

However, they suddenly noticed that one of the silent spaceships that were previously shot by the mysterious light from afar started accumulating energy on their cannons…

"This…"

Thusiah, who has been heavily wounded and lost two arms, saw the spaceship fire an extremely wide range attack as they were all covered by heat and light… It was followed by various explosions as the whole place was bombarded by the three Invader Spaceships.

"I..." 

It was his last word.

A few moments later, the land surrounding the spaceships was completely destroyed… Only the Terror Mages with the powerful aura surrounding them had survived.

***

Wallace saw everything in the short moment that the Empire bombarded the whole region with various kinds of missiles and cannons… 

It was as if they are trying to see what kind of explosives is effective in this land…

Perhaps they realized that capturing the natives is quite troublesome, so they decided to just destroy everything within their surroundings…

He watched the recordings a few times to see how the Conveyor Spacecraft started the bombardment in the surroundings…

As far as he knows, they shouldn't have that much firepower since the spacecraft was meant to carry loads and not to act as the weapon itself…

Nevertheless, Wallace wasn't too surprised since they should also have weapons to defend themselves. He just didn't expect them to be as powerful as the one that the Invader Spaceship used…

He saw the airships of Seiji and Kazan obliterated by the Empire's powerful cannons and lasers followed by various missiles to clean up the magicians on the ground… 

The magicians did their best to defend against all those heavy bombardments but perhaps, not even Sages would survive against the onslaught. 

He was really impressed that there are still some of them that survived…

Various Grade 3 Mana Spells were used and some top-grade Mana Artifacts were sacrificed just to fend off a missile that would come on their way…

Finally, after all of this was done, the spaceships opened their linear catapult and sent out all of their Mech Frames to capture the surviving and weakened Magicians…

"Avalon… What can you suggest? Should I help them now?"

[ No movement from the Imperial Flagship. No signs of planning to descend at this moment. We should wait for all of them to descend or we can try to help the State of Kazan a little. ]

"Mhmm… What kind of help?"

[ You can just consider destroying all of the Mech Frames they sent out and leave. You can continue once the Floating Island gets near… You also have to watch your Astral Core's energy. If they sent their Elite Soldiers out, it is highly recommended that you have to leave with the Void Phase. ] 

"I understand…"

Wallace nodded and accepted the idea. He knows that even though he's already very powerful, that is the standard of the Magicians. 

The Empire's elites were all mutated humans and he wouldn't be surprised if boarded on that spaceship were also from other Major Races of the galaxy…

No, that is actually what Avalon had considered that is why they are still being careful even at this point…

Nevertheless, Wallace has various Mana Artifacts, Secret Arts, and Mana Spells that he can use even without the Artifacts, so he would still consider himself as a very strong individual... 

Perhaps only a Celestial Being can beat him at this point if they fought straightforwardly.

'Well, I still don't know how would I fare against the Khrusam…'

Wallace thought as he observed Veda's Experimental Soldiers attack the Mech Frames.

The Khrusam Race have similar qualities to a human but they have gold skin and a third eye on their forehead.

They are certainly not a friendly race and they are known to be enemies with Fyoran Race. Because the latter joined the Galactic Federation, the powerful Khrusam Race decided to ally with the Meredith Empire… 

What's troubling Wallace is that this Race was capable of harnessing a very strange form of energy…

Unlike the GH Drive, Raze Drive, and other technology to harness various known energy, the Khrusam Race uses a Corpse Furnace that incinerates slaves for the Death Energy that they are capable of manipulating…

Then as if they can hear Wallace, five figures left the Conqueror Starship and approached the surviving Terror Mages…

The figures were similar to the Khrusam Race with their golden skin. They also have a slit on their forehead where their third eye should be.

Wallace stared at the screen showing the current situation… 

As he was considering what to do, Avalon informed him that Veda is contacting him on a private channel.

He already has an idea of what the A.I. would say so he nodded at the floating metal ball.

It seems that he really has to act now…
