Chapter 719
In a way, Empress Maria gave me a rather good impression .
She was quite polite as she thanked me for my assistance . She didn't even make any requests of me, such as asking me to help them on the battlefield .
Our first meeting ended in less than five minutes . Since there was still an ongoing war right outside, this was indeed a poor time to be talking .
Even though I cleared out this portion of the battlefield, even more fire element ogres and demons would swarm this place soon .
The Chaos Faction hadn't sent any mega powerful individuals here, because there was no need . In a long war of attrition, cannon fodder would have almost no value . The Chaos Faction would never lack for cannon fodder .
I didn't volunteer to help here, since this had nothing to do with me, but even more because I needed to recover my mana .
Although it was great fun to clear out a large number of enemies with an AOE spell, every time that I used such a spell, I would require a long time in order to replenish the mana that I used up .
This war didn't end just because I arrived . Rather, it was the opposite . After a momentary silence, some Fire Demon Lords arrived to check out the situation . They started an even more vicious battle against the humans .
I simply watched from the sidelines, but there was much to exclaim over .
This frontline battle was already nearing the level of bloody battles in the Chaos Abyss . San Antonio's foundational strength was also truly astonishing . No matter if it was the aerial knights fighting in the sky, the mages on the fortress walls, or even the regular soldiers, they were all combat veterans .
On other battlefields, they would all be considered strong individuals who were capable of holding their own, but such individuals were incredibly common here . I even saw several mages whose magical wavelengths were more powerful than average Level 4 mages, yet I had never even heard of these mages' names before .
While most people would only look at the surface, those in the know would analyze deeper .
Although the battle here seemed chaotic, there was actually plenty of order among the chaos . The battle was far from being utterly chaotic .
The commanders were unhurriedly giving orders . The lower-ranking military officers were steadily transmitting orders from above . However, what attracted my attention the most were the seemingly ordinary mages .
The mages appeared to be highly experienced at fighting while cooperating with the ordinary warriors . They used all sorts of large AOE buff magic spells . They also effectively used attack magic spells to suppress the enemy .
Every single bit of mana was used to improve the situation on the battlefield rather than trying to immediately destroy the enemy before them . Although this seemed rather basic, this was actually the core strategy for any mage on the battlefield .
Every explosion had a standard radius and standard attack power . They would all be precise at supporting whoever needed it, further improving the warriors and mages' tacit cooperation . The benefit of such standardized spells was that they would really help to conserve mana and concentration . Not only that, any other mage would be able to replace a mage with no mana at any time .
After the first attack wave of magic spells ended, a second mage would replace the first, and continue a barrage of spells for 10 minutes . After that, a third mage would replace the second .
Perhaps this would be insufficient to destroy the enemy, but it would ensure that their own side would always have magical support .
I had already seen far too many mages who were the type that could only fight for three minutes but then require two hours of rest, or fight for 10 minutes but need to rest for an entire night… Fine, I admit that the Mist Alliance still wasn't experienced enough at using mages on the battlefield in cooperation with warriors .
San Antonio was known to be potentially the strongest human mega empire of all . Perhaps this didn't sound much different from other powerful human mega empires, but the difference in foundational strength here was quite obvious .
The differences were in all areas, in traditions as well as minor details . All such things would require time to gain .
At the very least, the moment that I returned to the Mist Alliance, I would immediately be writing a new combat mage strategy guide for cooperative warfare .
By dusk, the battle returned to how it had been originally, as if nothing had happened at all . It was as if the major AOE cleansing that I had performed had been forgotten entirely .
