As soon as Wallace filled over eighty percent of his Astral Energy, he was informed by Avalon about the descent of the Imperial Flagship to the mainland…

"Where? Are they landing together this time? Or still scattered?" He immediately asked and hoping that they've decided to stay together.

[ They were split into two groups. The Imperial Flagship's group predicted landing location is a mountain in the country of Guwain. The other group led by Invader Spaceships will land at Stella Region in Zairus. Like what we predicted, they'll land not too far from that Memory Crystal Mines. ] 

Avalon reported. The A.I. is currently in the form of a floating metal ball while reporting this. At the moment, there are only a few bodies or machines that Avalon can control within this Floating Island. 

"I understand… We've already predicted this much. Give me the current distribution of their forces."

[ Affirmative ] 

[ Montego – 1 Black Sovereign Spaceship ( with Cube of  Paradox ) ] 

[ Kazan – 3 Invader Spaceship; 1 Conveyor Spacecraft; 1 Conqueror Starship ] 

[ Guwain – 1 Imperial Flagship; 6 Black Sovereign Spaceship; 2 Conveyor Spacecraft ] 

[ Zairus – 7 Invader Spaceship; 3 Conveyor Spacecraft ] 

Wallace analyzed the information that Avalon provided… At this point, they should be able to confirm the target of these aliens… 

"Mhmm… Did you get the information we need about the locations they selected?"

[ Yes. All of the spots have Memory Crystal Mines. ]

Avalon answered. The A.I. confirmed this information through many sources including Veda. 

"Is that so? Do you think it's really a coincidence, Avalon?"

[ No. There is a higher chance that they are targeting these mines. ] 

Wallace nodded after confirming Avalon's opinion. There was no way that they are doing this randomly. However, he's unaware of what they were thinking. They aren't Magicians or people that can control Mana… 

It must be remembered that the memory crystals were only allowed to be consumed by the Magicians a few times. After all, it greatly affects their brain and could cause serious damage if more than what was allowed was consumed.

They also prohibited products for ordinary people as they would be unable to handle the process of transferring knowledge.

This is why the company, Seed Holdings, were doing their best to create a Memory Crystal that can be consumed by ordinary people and allow them to feel the presence of mana… 

They call it Inheritance Pill and as far as he knows, the project was still ongoing or perhaps requiring a lot more tests before being sent to the public. 

Nevertheless, this still confuses Wallace as he's sure that the physique of Khrusam Race, Terub Legion, and the Empire's citizens was not used to Mana.

'Ugh… It doesn't matter for now… However, we can't just let them take these crystals if that's what they're looking for.' Wallace thought as he decided to inform everyone to try and destroy the mines if they are unable to stop the Empire's Army…

Anyway, he already informed them that they'll most likely look for these mines. For now, he can only hope that they've sent a few people to guard these places…

"Avalon, you just need to proceed with the defensive protocol… Don't hold back with our satellite cannons…"

[ Affirmative. ] 

Although Wallace is here in the State of Kazan, he still has his mountain fortress somewhere in the Zairus…

That place is extremely important for him since that is where his Mass Driver is located… There is no other place with Mass Drivers aside from that place. 

If it is destroyed, they would be unable to send supplies to the people in the Moon Base and it will be a huge problem. 

Of course, that can also be resolved by sending those magicians back on Earth. However, they still have to operate the remaining Satellite-Class weapon and use it on their next missions.

After all, this is their chance to use an orbital weapon against these aliens.

***

The Council of War in Zairus was having another meeting as they have confirmed the presence of the aliens in their airspace.

"Everyone! We are now under attack… We just confirmed a total of 10 Alien Spaceships are descending here…" Charles announced to everyone.

"Ten?! That's bullying!" Chester Cornfield, who just went out of his laboratory, was surprised upon hearing this… He knows that there's only a single spaceship that was sent in Montego and they were already struggling!

It's not fair!

"Haa~ Why would they send a lot here? It's not like we're the strongest nation on this planet…" 

Troy could only sigh as he looked at his previous master, Hayden Fraser. 

The enneadic magician was already aware of this information so he wasn't too surprised. He looked at everyone that is shocked by the news as he reminded them about their plans.

"Do not worry, everyone… We will be able to go through this. We've done a lot of preparations… I will even lead the first Mage Battalion to welcome these aliens… You just have to focus on what you can do for our country…"

The old man's words were calm and unhurried. Though he can't say that he's the strongest mage here due to his age, he knows that he's one of the best leaders they have when it comes to a large-scale war like this… 

Though he was unable to play the Alien Invasion game for long he still managed to get an idea about the enemies they will be facing… 

He felt that it is now his time to prove that an Enneadic Mage shouldn't be taken easily.

Then, Charles showed Avalon's broadcast on the spaceship's descent…

The targeted location was already evacuated since they were informed early by Avalon. The citizens living in the area where they will land were already taken away by various flying airships and vehicles by the Magicians. 

They saw the ten aliens vessels, 7 Invader Spaceships and 3 Conveyor Spacecraft, enter the atmosphere…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four consecutive shots from a huge beam of light welcomed the spaceships!

"That's Wallace Super Mesospheric Altitude Gun…" Yumi muttered after seeing the attack…

The power behind that beam was definitely incredible.

Two Conveyor Spacecraft were directly hit after destroying their shields… It created small explosions and smoke can even be seen from afar…

They surely can't ignore that attack… Some of the members of the council were even hoping that they'll decide to move away from the country after being hit by that…

However, it seems that they are truly determined to land at Stella Region.

They can only accept their fate and commence their battle plans. 

Perhaps, Yumi can say that their country is probably the most equipped and ready to fight the aliens. It is thanks to Wallace's early plans… Now, they have to show their worth and let him watch that they weren't just idling around and creating plans to destroy the aliens…

"Yumi… Were you also invited by Avalon to enter their Fortress at Mt. Ravencroft?" Aaron Schmidt suddenly asked while everyone is busying themselves contacting their subordinates.

His Lucent Force was already dispatched under his orders so he no longer has to think of anything else and just wait for the result… 

The lady looked at the young man and answered after pondering for a moment…

"Yes… However, I decline it since I have to help Grandma Thea…"

"I see… Is she doing well?"

"Mhmm… She's still fine… If I didn't stop her, I think she'll join Sir Hayden's Vanguard…" Yumi chuckled a bit after remembering this.

Aaron smiled at that as the Grandma Thea she's referring to is her superior, and as far as he knows, she's one of the survivors of the first expedition.

It is quite amazing that the lady was still alive up until today even though she's not known for having a strong and healthy body…

"How about you? Are you planning to go there?" Yumi asked.

"Yes… I can command the Lucent Force everywhere… Aside from that, we already found the best pilot for our Golden Mech Knight so handling the chain of command would be a lot easier for me…"

"Golden Mech Knight?"

"Yes, it's a large Steel Knight created with gold materials. I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't lose out against the alien's machinery…" Aaron smirked after saying this…

He's fully confident about the power of the Knight… Now that they found an amazing Pilot hidden within the sea of magicians, its strength would definitely be multiplied.

A good pilot combined with a good Mech Knight will surely give them a good result.

"Ho~ You're confident with your pilot, huh… Let's see how they'll fare once the Aliens sent out their Mech Frames…" 

"Hehe… You'll see…" 

Yumi only smiled as she felt that if there's a good pilot out there, Wallace would've taken them already.

Nevertheless, she decided to ask for its name in case it is someone she knows.

"Oh, you might be familiar with him. His name is Ross Schien." Aaron answered and his words caught everyone's attention.
