Zero no ambassador: my harem

Zero Demon Envoy's My Harem Chapter 169

The water bag doesn't work?

At a moment of startled surprise for the human soldiers, the flaming humanoids killed the human soldiers without wavering. Attacked by the flaming humanoid with a flaming weapon, the flames ignited from the point of contact, and for a slightly longer period of time, the flames heated the weapon to the point where the human soldier could not hold it.

The vast majority of the attacks launched at the flaming humanoid by the human soldiers were deflected by the layer of flaming armor; wooden arrows were at best struck and then incinerated; metallic long knives could not cut through the flaming armor, instead leaving the soldiers with hot blisters on their hands.

The morale of the human soldiers was extremely low after a steady stream of deaths and the difficulty in killing a single flaming humanoid soldier. 10,000 human soldiers were being beaten by 1,000 flaming humanoid soldiers, and they started to flee.

Hao Tian and the others who were watching the battle from the rear frowned and were worried about how to deal with the armor of the flaming humanoid soldiers. An order was issued to demolish the nearest sections of pontoon bridges, allowing the advance troops to swim back from the lake.

The soldier who got the order jumped into the lake with great joy.

The flaming humanoid soldiers hurled fireballs at the shoreline, smashing a puddle that was quickly bridged by the lake's water. As long as they didn't get hit directly, the soldier wouldn't get burned by the fireball under the lake's protection. The lake also blocked the flaming humanoid soldiers from pursuing them, and it seemed they were still afraid of water.

The last 10,000 test advance troops begged back more than 6,000 people, and nearly 4,000 were killed by 1,000 flaming humanoid soldiers. According to reports, only thirteen flame humanoid soldiers were taken out, all paying huge casualties, splashing water to reveal armor parts without flames, then concentrating on attacking the armor, finally wounding the flame humanoid inside, and then splashing water to defeat the flame humanoid soldiers.

Suspending the offensive today, Hao Tian, Alice, Sherfield, and Asya gather to discuss what to do.

Chapter 69 - Super Inferno Blast

After a night of deliberation, the four of Hao Tian had no good solutions. In the end, they still had to rely on the power of the [Quadrilateral Level]. Hao Tian no longer had enough magic power yesterday because of using [*Great Flood] to break the surface of the flaming lake. And while there were no others who could use [Great Flood], Karina who could use [*Tornado] was here.

The next morning, 50,000 troops were ordered and appeared outside the [Fire Elf Palace] along with Hao Tian, Lady Karina, and Asya.

There was no pontoon bridge built either, 50,000 soldiers jumped into the water and swam over towards the large square in front of them.

One by one, the soldiers went ashore, picked up their weapons, and slowly walked towards the black and red palace.

Just like yesterday, the palace gates opened, and a squad of soldiers wearing flame armor and holding flame weapons emerged from it. Probably corresponding to the number of soldiers on the human side, the number of flaming humanoid soldiers that appeared was around 5,000 as well.

The human soldiers didn't attack right away.

Lady Carina on the other side of the water began to chant.

"Grus Wendy 4-Spa." [*Tornado]

The air, the air was gathering, gathering into a high-speed spinning wind mass above Lady Carina's head.

Dozens of meters apart, Hao Tian and Asya were carefully observing Lady Carina's magic. These two, as newly promoted [Quadrilateral Rank], could not use [*Tornado] yet, and Hao Tian's [*Great Flood] could only be mastered in advance under the guidance of the Water Spirit's billet.

Lady Carina moved the eye of the wind above her head towards the front, the gathering of air began to accelerate, and the beginnings of a tornado appeared outside the eye of the wind, churning the air around the eye to grow larger.

Lady Carina didn't smash the [*Tornado] among the flaming humanoid soldiers, that would also kill, but it was definitely not efficient. She submerged the tornado beneath the surface of the lake, and the rapidly rotating air pumped out the lake water, spinning along with the air mass. Under Lady Carina's control, the [*Tornado] was like a pump that kept swirling around the square, pumping out the lake water and sprinkling it on the flaming humanoid soldiers in the square.

A good man-made rain, large and small groups of water from the square outside the throw, hit those flame humanoid body issued "sneeze" sound of steam, but also a huge group of water to fly out.

A group of flaming humanoid soldiers, who had been enveloped in flames, were weakened one by one by Lady Carina's first strike, and the flames outside the armor of some of the flaming humanoids were extinguished.

The soldiers in the square were instructed to take this opportunity to kill up. Within a few minutes, 50,000 human soldiers charged towards the fallen chicken-like flaming humanoid.

The human soldiers were also dripping wet from the large amount of water thrown over the square, which instead helped them take the heat away as it evaporated, protecting them from getting burned. The morale of the human soldiers was boosted for a while, 6/7 or even more than ten of them surrounded one flame humanoid soldier, even more ants could bite an elephant to death, not to mention the difference in battle strength between the human soldiers and the flame humanoid soldiers was not that big.

Quickly one by one the flaming humanoid soldiers fell under the siege of human soldiers. The flames around their bodies extinguished, revealing a charred black color along with the armor.

"Ahem" when the situation was good, Lady Carina on the other side of the water's surface, her face flushed red, coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Losing Lady Carina's control, the nearly 20-meter tall tornado outside the square raged for a while before turning into a disorderly air turbulence that hit all directions, blowing out all the nearby humans and flame soldiers for a time.

Manipulating the [*Tornado] for a long period of time had caused Lady Carina's spirit to expend a lot, and now she could no longer support it.

Losing the artificial rain created by the lake water absorbed by [*Tornado], those surviving flame humanoid soldiers one by one steamed dry of the surface water and soon emerged again with flames covering their bodies.

The human soldiers were in a bitter battle. Fortunately, nearly half of the flame humanoids had been destroyed before, and now with a force ratio of nearly 20 to 1, the human soldiers were still able to destroy the flame soldiers after paying huge casualties.

"Bam" that was a dull sound of a door opening, the human soldiers fighting in the square might be hard to notice. But Hao Tian and Asya, who were watching the battle on the other side, discovered it.

As the door of the [Fire Elf Palace] opened again, a male with an almost human appearance that had converged flames came out. Wearing the kind of fire-red armor that was popular in Kelmania, with some of the intricate engravings on it.

The accompanying wizard, who had a flight-based enchanter, with the aid of the enchanter's line of sight had seen the creature that had appeared. He was surprised to report up the discovery level by level. Hao Tian didn't feel surprised when he heard the report.

The man who appeared was a corps leader of the Kelmanian Fire Elf Legion, once a human, a [Triangle Level] magician. Nowadays, he was also flamed by the [Fire Elf], right. According to Duke Nirent Infernal Dragon, there were 13 people like him who retained their self-awareness after being flamed.

Can a [Delta Class], even if flamed, do anything in a battlefield of tens of thousands of people?

Just as Hao Tian was confused, one former corps leader after another walked out of the gate.

There were ten in total, exactly the same ten Fire Elf Corps Leaders that were under Emperor Andrey of Kelmania. Every single one of them was either [Triangle Level] or peak [Line Level] in strength.

They fought in a row and started chanting. Because they were too far away to hear what they were chanting, even if a Flight Department Enabler could see it, they wouldn't be able to read it out based on their mouth shapes, right? However, this magician discovered a fact that horrified him, the 10 people chanting had exactly the same mouth shape and rhythm.

Could it be?!

Kelmania had shown the Red Mage's [Resonance Casting] during the welcoming event. That made every nation wary. Now do we have to face that again?

More than a minute had passed since Hao Tian received the report, and no one from the soldiers in the square had even tried to destroy the spell cast by those ten people. Even if the spell wasn't clear, the heat in the air had shown the terrifying power of that magic.

"Look, what is that!" Someone among the soldiers pointed at the sky and shouted.

Hao Tian looked up.

A bright gold and red fire glowed in the sky, growing larger and brighter.

"No way?" Horton muttered.

"All of you, dive into the water. All of you, jump in the water for me."

Hao Tian grabbed the hands of Asya and Lady Carina beside him, and violently just jumped into the water in front of him, swimming deeper into the lake towards the direction that was backing away from the [Fire Elf Palace].

Hearing Hao Tian's order to use wind magic to amplify the sound, some of the soldiers around and in the square in front of them complied, some hesitated, and some were entangled by the flame soldiers. But eventually, some of the soldiers jumped into the lake.

The bright golden-red fire revealed its positive body, the largest fireball known in the history of mankind.

The naked eye's crude observation was over 20 meters in diameter, a huge blood-red fireball with hot sparks splashing around it and a bright golden light swimming inside. How destructive was its power? Hoshi didn't know, all he knew was that if he was hit, he would be killed even if he got a little closer.

"Snicker, snicker, snicker" the hot fireball bounced around the air being ionized with electric sparks.

"Hoo-boom-boom-boom-"

The 20 meter diameter Super Inferno explosion caused the air to burst before it landed on the ground, the close human soldiers were vaporized into flying ash by the heat even the flame soldiers could hardly resist, armor, weapons, and bodies were deformed and separated in the heat.

"Bong--!!!"

The moment it landed, the loud sound was louder than thunder, and the blindingly bright light was enough to blind a person.

Alice, Sherfield and the 135,000 soldiers still outside the [Capital of Fire] had to squint in order to see the blurred point without stopping to weep.

The world was robbed of its white light for an instant, and the blood-red firelight erupted amidst the darkness, expanding in the center of the [Capital of Fire], expanding to a few points and then contracting and exploding, the light contracting into a central beam.

The bursting wind blowing from afar blew Alice and the others backwards, and the makeshift tents and huts were all uprooted.

It was half an hour later when all the dust had settled and the world had returned to clarity.
