Chapter 379: Chapter 367: The Missing Aurora and the Call to Counterattack!
“Let’s give it a try then!”
At Lynn’s suggestion, Harrov and Vittorio immediately extended their realms, covering the area where the Undying Flame burned, trying to put it out.
However, the process was more difficult than everyone had expected; the two legendary wizards took a whole half hour working together before they completely halted the spread of the Undying Flame.
While controlling elements is indeed a wizard’s forte, this doesn’t mean they have 100% control over them; wizards of different levels possess varying degrees of precision in their abilities.
For instance, a fully-fledged wizard’s mastery over elements can only be described as influence, and their spiritual power cannot even touch upon metallic elements and compound elements.
In contrast, a grand wizard is obviously much more powerful, capable of directing mimic elements within their own realm, but that’s about it. They can accelerate or slow down elements, or make them move left or right, but unlike “Ella”, they cannot stop the movement of all elements entirely, causing a phenomenon akin to time standing still.
...
All elements are constantly in motion; even when they transition from a gaseous state to a liquid, or even to a solid state on a macro level, this movement never stops,
Lynn had tried before, and once past the threshold, roughly around negative two hundred degrees, the amount of magic power and spiritual power needed to lower the temperature by each additional degree grows exponentially!
As for whether legendary wizards have this capability, Lynn wasn’t sure, but judging by the response from the two presidents, they probably couldn’t do something so exaggerated, otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken so long to ‘extinguish’ the flames derived from Chlorotrifluoride.
That goddess, on the other hand, managed to freeze the Undying Flame with a mere gesture.

While Harrov and Vittorio were busy extinguishing the fire, Lynn and the others were not idle since besides them, there were hundreds of people in the Alchemy Research Institute, unable to be of any help, and suffering terribly from the area-of-effect Divine Arts cast by Edwell.
Even a portion of the Hidden Guard, after being exposed to the Divine Radiance, had been completely brainwashed, turning into Ella’s most devout believers. Lynn could only knock them out with his fists, tie them up, and then figure out a way to reverse their mindset.
“By the way, Lord Harrov, didn’t you say before that you would arrive at the capital as soon as possible? Why has it been delayed for so long?” Lynn suddenly remembered this issue and asked, puzzled.
If it weren’t for Harrov’s coincidental arrival, they probably would have been doomed, and the entire kingdom would have fallen…
“I was about to ask you. Hasn’t Aurora arrived yet?” Harrov frowned.
A week ago, after discussions, the council had already passed the resolution to fully support the Kingdom of “Hadarata”, with Aurora leading the new army ahead by sea and land.
They took the sea route because most airships were commandeered by Lynn, and the carrying capacity was far from sufficient, while the alchemical ships of the Wizard Land, after being refitted with internal combustion engines, weren’t slow either. It would take about four or five days to travel by sea to the kingdom from the Wizard Land.
By the time, Aurora should have already arrived at the capital.
“But the scouts I sent out haven’t seen her,” Lynn shook his head, speaking worriedly. “Could something have happened?”
In these critical times, disappearance could very likely mean danger, or even death!
“Maybe she got lost, or perhaps she ran into some trouble at sea, and that caused a delay,” Vittorio consoled.
In terms of combat power, Aurora was not the strongest among them, but when it came to the ability to save his own skin, both he and Harrov had to admit they were inferior. The enemy had mastered polarization magic, and even when faced with the Church’s interception, retreat had always been possible.
“Anyway, let’s first annihilate this coalition force of the Church, then it won’t be late to dispatch people to search,” Harrov quickly made the decision.
Even if Aurora had run into any danger, it was already too late for support now. The urgent task at hand was to win this war. Then over a hundred airships could be reassigned to conduct the search, which would be far more efficient than them aimlessly wandering over the vast sea like headless flies.
…
Meanwhile, at the gates of the royal capital, the roar of artillery fire and the clash of swords and soldiers continued incessantly.
After several hours of fierce fighting, from deep into the night until dawn, everyone was depleted of physical strength and energy.
Ham took over for a deceased gunner. Relying on sheer willpower, he mechanically loaded, ignited, and fired the artillery, then prepared for the next round of shooting.
Those crazed coalition soldiers, one after another, surged up like a tide. They never retreated in the face of artillery fire, giving no chance for rest.
The bricks and stones of the city wall were shattered, and even the sealed gates had been bombarded by divine arts into ruin, exposing the solid concrete wall behind.
Below, piles of broken corpses were stacked like mountains, filling up the trenches dug before the battle, with the bodies of both enemies and comrades.
Wuu wuu~
Just as Ham was numbly loading the ammunition, feeling as if his hands were about to fall off from exhaustion, a clear horn sound came from inside the city.
Ham suddenly felt a jolt of energy and his face showed obvious excitement, for that was the agreed signal for the counterattack!
Outside the city, about one and a half kilometers from the battlefield, beyond the range of artillery fire, a refined cavalry corps of tens of thousands stood ready.
Although this battle was the ultimate showdown, Cardinal Gerk, who was in charge of the command, had not committed all his forces. The knights, not suited for siege warfare, had been kept outside the city, beyond the reach of the artillery, rested and ready, just waiting for the right moment to completely crush the exhausted and demoralized enemy!
And that moment wouldn’t be far off, as Edwell himself, with more than two thousand soldiers of the divine punishment army, had entered the royal capital through a secret passage, with the aid of the Hidden Guard.
If only the frontal battlefield could sustain the strong assault and not give the wizards a chance to come to the rescue, the fall of the royal capital would only be a matter of time!
“Is this… the power of the Lord?” Suddenly, a Cardinal sensed a strong Divine Radiance inside the royal capital and became excited. However, this power appeared swiftly and vanished just as quickly, and before he could investigate more closely, it had already disappeared.
It seemed that the heretical believers within the city had been vanquished!
The surrounding bishops were also thoroughly convinced of this. The minions of the Evil God, although very stubborn and withstanding their onslaughts time after time, were futile in their resistance against the magnificent power of the Lord!
It seemed to be just as they had anticipated, for along with the piercing sound of the horn, the gunfire from the city wall suddenly stopped, and the gates that stood firm despite the bombardment of divine arts were finally opened!
