Weapon seller in the world of magic

chapter-148-3
"What the hell are those things?" More than half of the soldiers started to shake nonstop as they were overwhelmed by fear when the wraiths were added to the skeletons.
And when the Lich King entered the scene by killing a captain and a few soldiers in a single slash of his sword, the remaining adventurers started to run away for their lives.
The soldiers also wanted to run away but they couldn't. If they desert the battlefield, they will become traitors. Not only they will be killed, but even their families will also be exiled from the respective province. Along with that, their properties will be snatched away by the regional powers like the major clan.
But, if they die on the battlefield, their families will be paid enough compensation and if the said soldier has a kid or a sibling, then, the latter would receive a post somewhere in the three departments with a proper wage.
In the end, they grit their teeth and are forced to fight the skeletons while the elite-level soldiers helped the captains to fight against the wraiths.Meanwhile, in the sky, the second prince blocked the attack of the headless knight. As their weapons clashed, the prince pushed away for a few meters before he regained control and flew back towards the enemy.
His eyes fell on the ground.
As they were about 200-250 meters above the ground, it was taking a while for Alina to fly the helicopter higher.
Shang Wen realized that it might take at least 10-20 seconds before he gets help from Mark. And he couldn't leave the Lich King to his subordinates. They weren't powerful to face it.
A thought appeared in his head. "They are undead. That is why this attack was taking place in the dark. If that's the case…"
He raised his arms and started the incantation. It's the same spell he used during the previous dungeon break.
"Oh, the god of fire, Zhurong, I crave thou to bless me the flames of the eternal traveling lamp to produce a replica."A ball of flames appeared in his hands. The headless knight charged toward him once again.
Shang Wen flapped the wings and dodged to the left. Meanwhile, the ether energy gushed out of his palms, increasing the size of the balls.
By the time the helicopter reached 100 meters altitude, the second prince had already launched a mini sun into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield.
"Scraa…" "Kraaaaa…"
The skeletons and the wraiths started to scream in agony.
"Crescent Slash…"
Wang Li jumped high and spun around before slashing a wraith in her path, destroying it in one move.
"Kraaaa…"
The Lich King let out a powerful roar before shifting his attention to Wang Li, who appeared to be the strongest on the battlefield. He started to rush towards her.
Landing on the ground, she shouted, "everyone, take advantage and kill these dark spirits."
When one more wraith and a skeleton knight were dead, everyone's morale was boosted a bit. The facial expressions of the necromancers changed.
Back to the battle in the skies, the helicopter is slowly ascending as if it has all the time in the world.
Since the enemy is in the 7-circle realm, Alina thought she might need to depend on hellfire missiles but to fire those, the altitude of the helicopter should be at least a hundred meters above the targets.
She wasn't also in a hurry because the situation is in control.
But, Mark started to become a bit restless upon seeing the tide of the battlefield suddenly turn in their favor.
He was here to help out the prince. The more casualties happen, the more precious his assistance would become.
If everything can be handled by them alone, how would the prince feel grateful towards him?
This is the reason Mark was worried.
He decided to finish it as quickly as possible.
"Okay, let's go with the big attack, right away."
He looked at the controls before him.
On the right side, there were buttons in different colors. He pressed on the black one.
*Ding! 50% ether energy will be detected. Proceed?
"Yes."
*Ding! Please lock the target.
*Ding! Target has been locked.
A blinding flash of light covered the whole helicopter, grabbing the attention of the prince as well as the headless knight for a moment.
A megaphone appeared below the flash of light. A voice came out of it. "Your highness, move away."
The message was quite simple but the second prince was smart enough to understand the meaning and just used his phoenix wings to fly away.
The headless knight appeared to be confused for a moment. Should he go after the prince or should he go after this new power that is threatening its life?
Alas, it isn't a free summoned being to make its own choices.
It conveyed its thoughts to the necromancers.
In about three seconds, the headless knights received a reply. "Forget about the new enemy and destroy that mini sun in the sky."
The headless knight looked at the sky. It raised its double ax. Powerful dark energy covered it.
Before it even launch an attack, a sudden concentrated beam of energy was shot towards the headless knight.
The distance between them is only about 150 meters and the beam, which is traveling at the speed of light, is impossible to dodge. The headless knight didn't get the time to defend himself and was hit by the beam while the second prince stopped flying and let free fall to land on the ground.
By the time he landed on the ground, there is no headless knight or horse. It was erased completely.
"Oh! the ultimate attack of this Eurocopter tiger is different from the battle tank," Mark exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the notifications.
*Ding! You completed the Emergency Quest-I.
*Ding! Shang Wen's affinity with the store rose to level-3.
*Ding! You unlocked a Grenade launcher.
"Now, that's a big jump from a shotgun." A smile appeared on his face. He doesn't know whether the system uses anything that was out of his knowledge but what he observed so far is that the system's 40mm grenades generate far more explosions than usual grenades.
Every time he sees the level of explosion, it would remind him of C4. Well, this mystery along with others isn't something that he cannot solve, right now. He had to go with the flow and think about it, later.
"Okay, now, I can offer these weapons to the prince. Speaking of Shang Wen, where is that buffed guy?" Mark shifted his attention to the screens.
On the third screen, the prince was spotted. He was looking at the helicopter with his mouth agape. "Can this weapon even do powerful ether attacks?"
The second prince only saw the helicopter use the missiles to defeat Song Yun. He didn't expect energy attacks too. "No wonder my father wanted three of them and didn't hesitate to reward an 80 acre of land to Lu Zhen. It would be nice if our army possesses one like this."
A bit of longing developed inside the prince as he stared at the helicopter. It was then the megaphone appeared once again.
"Your Highness, the strongest has been dealt with. My assistance will end here as there will be more casualties on your side if I step in that mess over there."
