Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Wallace doesn't know how these magicians behind him are feeling right now. 

The final battle is getting closer and they might be nervous about the result of this battle. If they lose, there would no longer be any force within the planet that could fight against the Empire. 

There might be Celestials in the Northern Continent but the place is too chaotic with the existence of Mana Calamity and Mana Void appearing almost everywhere at any given time. 

It is wishful thinking that the Imperial Army would decide to suicide there. In short, their current united army right now is the only force they could put their hopes to.

'I'm not good with speech or giving encouraging words… Ace should be better at this.' 

Wallace thought as he glanced at the man. They are currently using one of the Transatmospheric Battleship named Magnificence. 

The other battleships behind them are named Trance, Excellence 2.0, Providence 2.0, and Transcendence 2.0.

They have decided to use this spaceship as their Flagship since it has the most number of Radiant Wave Generator or in short, it has the strongest defensive capabilities among the five battleships. 

The others had focused too much on their offensive powers with the mounted satellite-class weapons like the Super Mesospheric Altitude Gun and others. 

"Ace… We only have about 20 more minutes before we reach the border. You're supposed to give the final encouraging words to them, right?"

Wallace took Ace's attention who is currently monitoring the surroundings using the Spaceships' System Interface. 

The man squinted his eyes after hearing Wallace. He has no idea that there would be something like that. However, after thinking about it, it indeed makes sense to have some kind of battle cry before the start of the battle. 

It will increase their morale and it would greatly affect the battle.

"I think that you can do better than me." Ace replied. Before Wallace could even reply, he added.

"I already did something similar in the recent battles that we've had. It's your turn now. Anyway, as long as the both of you charged in front, I'm sure that everyone's morale would go high."

Ace smiled at him as what he said was indeed correct, Wallace's presence alone could greatly affect the morale of their magicians.

Not even his master, Grand Arcanist Slaine, would have such influence in front of such a mighty force. 

"Haa~ Very well…" 

Wallace sighed as he decided to just accept the task. Anyway, this is the last thing he could do since he had disappeared for quite a long time after all.

Right now, their number had actually exceeded his expectation. 

Apparently, they are expecting to have at least 150,000 Magicians in their midst after combining the forces of every country that are still willing to help.

Their expectation is this small considering that plenty of magicians have decided to just stir away from the alien's path. It is unfortunate but this is what they decided in order to achieve a way of survival.

If he's not mistaken, millions of citizens and perhaps even magicians have perished in the past few months after the Empire was able to freely roam around the continent except Zairus. 

This is mostly done by their Destroyers or their spaceships that carry only explosives or weapons of mass destruction. 

These Destroyers only have a single task and it is to erase any location or target that was pointed to them. 

After seeing how powerful they are, it wouldn't be surprising to see that these magicians would get scared and decide to save themselves and let the patriotic soldiers do the work.

Perhaps, even if they have the courage to fight them at first, they would easily cower in front of these terrifying spaceships. For sure, if they could use nuclear weapons, these Destroyers would've probably erased half of the continent already.

Wallace isn't blaming them for that. Especially now that over 300,000 mana practitioners have actually decided to join them!

He had really underestimated their influence because as soon as he made a call to gather everyone, many magicians who has been hiding everywhere in the continent started gathering in Zairus and met up with their group. Most of them only took a few hours to move here!

Aside from that, more than 50,000 of them had just arrived using Airships made by Utara and Seiji…

Apparently, they are the rebel faction or the Magicians that were against the King of Seiji to work under the Meredith Empire. 

Looking at it now, their decisions were right. 

All the Magicians who are working for the King died in the hands of Wallace and Ace's scheme. 

Before they could even heavily affect the tides of war, Wallace destroyed their main army in the sea with the help of the Sea Creatures while Ace ordered a couple of Grand Sages together with their Mage Battalions and a few Spaceships to destroy their main headquarters. 

"Fifteen more minutes… If I'm not mistaken, the Empire should've detected us by now. Avalon, is there any movement from the enemy?"

[ Yes. The Androids around the continent stopped working in the mines as they all focused on building structures for defense instead. Other than that, the Invader Spaceships and other main spaceships started activating their engine. They would probably fly here quickly as soon as we get closer to the Flagship. ] 

"Mhmm… That's good to hear. It wouldn't be good if they ignored us after all... They have to come here so it would get easier for us."

[ Should we send a battalion to eliminate the androids and soldiers that will remain in their camp? ] 

"No need… Once we killed everyone here, cleaning the dregs wouldn't be difficult. It's better if our forces won't be divided at this point."

[ Affirmative. ] 

Avalon answered and remained silent for now. As for Wallace, he's even thinking of slowing down their march to ensure that all the spaceships of the Empire would gather already.

Luckily, he no longer had to wait for long as the spaceships of the Empire started to silently surround their army as they got closer to the Flagship. Not only that, even the Flagship had actually started moving closer to them!

"It seems that they are already prepared…" Ace said after seeing the movement of the enemies. 

He then looked at Wallace and gestured at him to initiate the beginning of this final battle.
