Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-735

The battle unfolding on the ground might end with the human alliance coming out as the victor, but the whole ordeal hadn't ended yet as there was still a huge spaceship floating right above their heads that could launch a bombardment of attacks and send them to their death.

Furthermore, the human alliance's side also didn't come out of the earlier battle without any harm. Most of them, if not all, had received and suffered various degrees of injury and exhaustion that pulling them for another fierce battle would be too much of a task to achieve.

More than half of the hundred Kobold warriors that survived were wounded. Meanwhile, out of the 9 saint-level wolf warriors, four were incapacitated.

As for the group of magus; the one that had the most severe injury was Magus Anna. She was so wounded that she couldn't even stand properly anymore and is currently lying weakly on Beatrice's arm.

For someone who has basically an immortal body, being in such a condition meant the situation was more than just mere physical wounds.

Considering that the conclusion the group got was the death of more than a dozen elven magus and hundreds of Uruks, this could and would be counted as a huge win in the Magus Alliance's book.

However, the fact that the elves decided to dispatch two cruiser-type spaceships told them that they might have won the battle, but the war was still far from over. Hell, they weren't even sure if the elves 'only' sent two spaceships.

Emery was surprised when during the silence he saw Silva who dared to speak first, and if that wasn't shocking enough, the sight of Chief Beowulf listening to her was so shocking that it took him a moment to process what had just happened.

This sight naturally brought a wave of confusion upon the enforcer's group, who were currently staring dazedly at the two's strange interaction. Magus Leon quickly stepped up on the behalf of his colleague and asked the question they all had in mind all this time.

"Chief of the White Fang, Beowulf, tell us what is actually going on here!"

The chief looked like he was about to explain once he heard those words, but Silva once again acted rather rudely by interrupting the conversation.

"We have no time for a long explanation!" She sternly said. "We should leave now! You will be briefed on the way!" added the girl when she noticed the glare thrown in her direction.

Magus Leon turned to Silva with a disapproving look in his eyes and then spoke in his usual interrogative manner.

"Silva Oroboros, We heard that you were captured by White Fang, but seeing how you are now, it doesn't seem to be the case. Magus Leon's gaze turned sharp. "Tell us what happened right now!"

It was at this moment that the mysterious man who Silva told Emery was her uncle took off his hood. His defined facial features were displayed to everyone, but the expression on his face as he looked at Magus Leon clearly showed that he wasn't happy.

"If you don't want to follow, then you may stay here and die; I don't care! My niece has been helping so much, only to be treated like a criminal!"

Recognizing who the person was, Magus Leon changed his attitude to a respectful manner before saying, "You are.. Duke Sirye of the Oroboros, My sincerest apologies, what I said earlier is by no means a disrespect to you nor your niece. What I mean is-"

The grand magus, who apparently known as Duke Sirye, ignored Magus Leon as he turned to Silva and said, "Niece, this has gone out of hand. We should leave now!"

Looking at how serious Duke Sirye's face was at the moment, Magus Leon seemed to be hesitating even though he still wished to ask for an explanation. But then, suddenly, a sound rang out from the air and following it was Chief Beowulf's shout.

"Enter the hideout, everyone! Quickly!"

This time, even Magus Leon didn't dare to file his question any longer as they all knew what was about to come.

Numerous bright beams of energy were shot out by the spaceship and swiftly descended from the sky, seemingly ready to blast and raze everything on the ground. Everyone quickened their pace as their figures shot toward the metal construct's entrance.

Meanwhile, Duke Sirye of the Oroboros was seen floating in the air facing the oncoming bombardment. In an instant, some kind of energy barrier materialized in the sky in front of him, blocking the beams of energy that rained down like a torrential torrent.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...

Successive ear-deafening sounds resounded through the air as the attacks struck the barrier. A surge of powerful shock waves appeared and swept over the group as everyone continued to rush over and enter the entrance into the metallic construct.

Emery tried the best he could to [Blink] over to a few who were too slow because of their wounds and brought them to the entrance. In the end, everyone managed to enter the hideout and gathered together.

A minute after everyone had entered the place quite safely, the Duke of Oroboros finally entered as well. Following his arrival was the sight of the entrance closing rapidly and shut tightly.

Still, even though the entrance was no longer open, everyone could clearly hear and feel as the energy beams continued to hit the ground above them, or rather, at the construct they were in at the moment.

"It will not hold out long! Everyone hurry and enter the ship!" said Duke Sirye when he saw that no one seemed to be moving.

Very quickly, Emery's vision was filled by the sight of a medium-sized metal construct that was almost as big as the hideout itself. He watched as the saint-level wolf warriors began to help the Kobold warriors entering the ship.

Seeing this, Emery wanted to help them with his spell. However, just as he was about to walk towards them, Silva quickly grabbed his arm.

"No! That's the wrong ship!" said the girl, which made him look at her in bewilderment. "You are coming with me!"

The serpent girl pointed her finger at another metal construct that was much smaller than the previous one.

Duke Sirye who stood next to the girl couldn't hold himself from giving Emery a weird look when he heard those words. However, it only took Silva a little glance from her part before the man nodded his head and quickly prepared the ship for take off.

"What is actually happening, Silva?" asked Emery as the girl dragged him by hand. "What is going on?"

However, before Silva could answer Emery's question, she noticed Chief Beowulf walking towards them with a grave expression on his face.

The man looked at her and Duke Sirye before saying, "We thank you for what you have done. But.. the way it is, the ship will not survive a minute outside with that cruiser ship waiting in the sky."

Upon hearing that, Silva fell silent. She seemed unable to say a word. The duke, on the other hand, replied with a firm tone in his words.

"Chief, what you are asking, I unfortunately cannot help as my utmost priority is the safety of my niece."

From what he had heard so far and the way the conversation was going, Emery quickly realized that the small ship Silva wanted to take him in would have a much better chance to escape, especially with another, much bigger ship flying together with it.

This conversation quickly caught the attention of the enforcers and the demon wolf Heorgar, who both swiftly joined in.

The dark-haired Heorgar looked at Chief Beowulf and said, "Chief, I'm sure we will manage. Please don't lower your dignity and ask for more favors from them."

The chief shook his head firmly at the demon wolf words. "No, Heorgar. If it involves the safety of you and the other members of the Clan, I will not hesitate to bow and lower my head." said the man with a smile. "I'm sure you will understand this when you become the chief one day."

Magus Leon and the other enforcers quickly understood the situation, hence they contributed their suggestion.

"Us four will go ahead and protect the ship as best we can. It is our duty as enforcers of the Magus Alliance, after all."

Chief Beowulf put his hand on Magus Leon's shoulder and said, "Thank you enforcers."

Emery, on the other hand, could see there was doubt in everyone's eyes. He once again remembered the scene of Grand Magus Kadek fighting against the huge spaceship by herself and quickly surrounded by hundreds of flying figures.

Based on this fact, it seemed only someone with a grand magus strength could possibly give such space ship a distraction to help them escape this planet.

Chief Beowulf once again turned to Duke Sirye and pleaded for the latter's help. However, the man was clearly firm on his decision. Just as he was about to refuse again, Silva suddenly said something that made everyone turn to him.

"Uncle, let us do it this way," a cunning glint flashed through her eyes as Silva said that.

In the end, the plan Silva proposed had managed to convince her uncle and also everyone agreed.

Her plan was to let Duke Sirye distract the elf ship and protect the two ships, while in return Heorgar would join the small ship to protect his niece. To Emery's surprise, the usually cold demon wolf readily accepted Silva's plan obediently.

This once again brought a wave of confusion to Emery's mind. He still wondered about what was actually happening, after all.

Things became even more surprising when all start moving into the ships and when Emery finally entered the small ship. Inside, he saw a familiar red-haired figure being tied up with her mouth covered so that she couldn't make any noises.

Silva, who entered right after Emery, saw the anger in the other party's eyes and nonchalantly said, "Ah.. I almost forgot.. we did pick up your girlfriend earlier today."
