Chapter 520: Chapter 475: The Cracked Electromagnetic Communication and the Supreme Command! Chapter 520: Chapter 475: The Cracked Electromagnetic Communication and the Supreme Command! Late at night, Fire Oil City.
Monroe and Ivina, following divine guidance, secretly arrived at the courtyard of a civilian residence, prepared to coordinate with the Holy Maiden’s actions to rescue Judgement Chief Joshua and to internally sabotage this city of magic!
Like them, covert operatives from the church had gathered here, totaling one hundred fifteen people.
Monroe recognized the Holy Maiden at a glance.
At the Wizard College, he had seen Cynthia several times but had never imagined that she would be the newly appointed Holy Maiden of the church.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is now at its most perilous moment!” Cynthia’s voice was not loud, but it accurately reached everyone’s ears present.
“Those wizards, the minions of demons, have occupied the Empire’s territory, wantonly slaughtering noblemen, causing the royal family to turn on each other, using powerful witchcraft to annihilate the church’s crusading forces, proclaiming the devil’s knowledge here, corrupting the civilians’ faith with money and desire…”
“This is a harbinger of the apocalypse!”
“And you are the backbone of the Empire, the most devout believers of the Lord, the fate of this continent now rests upon you and me…”
Cynthia didn’t give a lengthy pre-battle speech but after a brief morale boost, she assigned everyone their tasks.
The task was simply to create as much chaos throughout Fire Oil City as possible, a straightforward yet extremely dangerous task; Monroe and the others were well aware that most of the Wizard Council’s forces were concentrated inside Fire Oil City, so it could only be described as a slim chance of survival.
However, from the moment they were summoned to the kingdom, everyone present had prepared themselves for sacrifice.
Death held no fear for them, it was merely a return to the Lord’s heavenly kingdom, where they would enjoy eternal peace and glory!
Cynthia’s gaze swept over the crowd and finally focused on Monroe.
He was the only zealot among them all and his strength was not to be underestimated.
“Take this, I need you to do another task.” Cynthia extended her hand, and a diamond-shaped cube left her palm and landed in Monroe’s hand.
Monroe took the radiant crystal stone, decidedly grateful, and said, “Thank you for your trust, Your Highness, I will complete your command with my life!”
Cynthia slightly parted her lips and explained the method of using the crystal stone and the task at hand once more, before letting everyone start their mission.
Obligingly, the hundred plus people gathered in the courtyard promptly dispersed, while Cynthia’s form began to flow like water; the elements constituting her body were scattered and recombined, eventually transforming into the form of Farrell.
This was not merely a disguise; she could also draw upon the other’s soul power at will to simulate Farrell’s magic power fluctuations.
In some ways, she was now Farrell!
Having adjusted to the new form for a bit, Cynthia raised her fingers and sent out several electromagnetic wave communications.
“It’s an emergency electromagnetic communication; the Empire’s armies from the west and south have invaded the kingdom in large numbers, around fifty thousand…” “And Steel City Welsel, they report a sudden appearance of the church’s large army below the city…” “How is that possible? The church’s army crossed over the surveillance of the airships, appearing within the kingdom’s interior…”
Continuous electromagnetic wave signals shocked the male witches responsible for receiving communications.
In an instant, it seemed as if all the border cities of the kingdom were under attack, including Steel City Welsel at the heart of the kingdom’s eastern border, reporting an attack by the church’s army.
“What should we do now?” Pearce, who had just become a communication officer, was somewhat panicked.
He knew all too well that Fire Oil City had only a little over thirty thousand troops, and according to the information, the number of invading forces from the Empire potentially exceeded three hundred thousand, spread across the entire kingdom’s border, making it impossible for them to provide support everywhere.
“Quickly report to the Council Lords!”
An experienced communication officer immediately reacted, but before they could send someone to communicate, a voice rang through.
“Don’t panic, it’s likely our magic communications have been breached.”
The few wizards present turned around and saw Lynn entering the door, exclaiming with surprise.
“Master Lynn?” “Professor Lynn?”
Seeing the arrival of this star of magic, Pearce and the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; although the crisis was not yet over, they still felt immensely reassured.
The master’s new magic “Sky Vaulting” they had all witnessed; no matter how many enemies came, under such terrifying power they were meaningless!
“Why are you so certain?” Aurora emerged slowly from one side, having sensed the high-frequency electromagnetic wave signals within Fire Oil City along with Harrov, they both hurried over to confirm.
“Because of timing!” Lynn confidently said.
Though the speed of electromagnetic waves is equivalent to the speed of light, due to the range of transmission, they use airships as relay base stations for communication.
This would result in varying speeds of arrival. Assuming that the Empire’s various legions attacked at the same moment, the communication would arrive sequentially from nearest to farthest, with intervals of about ten to fifteen seconds between them, based on the communication officers’ decoding and reporting speed.
Yet, they had received all the distress messages within just two to three seconds!
