The space warped and popped like a balloon, creating a spatial tear in the sky. Large mechanical flying devices came out of the tear.


    These groups were evenrger than before. Each aircraft spanning over 1 kilometer in length alone. And at the top of these aircrafts were a flying ind of steel with all kinds of anti-gravity device below it.


    Khisam widened his eyes in shock. His whole body trembled when he saw the armying out. "Didn''t they say the enemies only have one hundred golems?"


    "That is what we are told, sir."


    "Then why is there more than thousands of them here???"


    Thousands ofrge ships kept popping out of the spatial tear, dwarfing over the dragons which seemed tiny inparison.


    "Fire," Aldred gave themand with a low tone. And the mechanical legion rumbled into battle mode. Thousands of aircrafts kilometers in length aimed their cannons and started a storms of shells, fire, and explosions.


    Because they were controlled by advanced A.I, these aircrafts were designed to fire every shot precisely to the target. Almost each and every shells were calcted to kill.


    In Combreia, Diamond Ranks, especially magician Diamond Ranks, were considered to be very high in status. They rarely died even in a great war between nations because they could simply escape with a variety of spells.


    But today, dozens of them died the moment the barrier shattered. Failed to protect them, the hail ofrge-explosive caliber shells rain down upon them. They all tried to escape but only a few manage to do so.


    The moment the shells hit their body, the eleration, the weight, and the toughness of the material created such force that even the durability of a Diamond Rank could be prated.


    The shells were literally bigger than their own body. So every shell was like being hit by a train moving faster than the speed of sound. Not only that, it exploded aftering into contact with its target, making it even deadlier.


    Khisam shouted in the midst of the explosion: "RETREAT!"


    The dragons immediately turned around, but it was toote. The rocket-propelled shell could achieve the speed of 40 KM per second, in other words, it was over 30 times the speed of sound.


    Even the heavily armored dragons, d in thick ck steel, were still punctured with gigantic holes and got exploded from within.


    The warriors screamed in pain as their limbs were torn apart by the explosion. They were the lucky ones as they could regrow their limbs back. But with the Mechanicum active sensor, no living entity was allowed to survive.


    With that mission, the aircrafts adjusted their cannon slightly and began firing,pletely decimating all the warriors and dragons.


    Khisam saw this from a distance and his whole body trembled. Out of the 30 magicians that was brought here, only three survive, him included.


    And the three of them were heavily wounded as well.


    "What the hell are we fighting..." Khisam had never seen an army of golem like this before. Generally, golems should not even be able to fly. Most golems used bow, swords, and shields. They were more like warriors.


    But what were those gigantic flying object! The small cannons ced all over its surface were terrifying as well.


    "What are we going to do now, sir?" One of the subordinates asked.


    "Nothing. This province is gone for good. Let''s get out of here before they detected us."


    The three of them turned around and flew away.


    One of the aircraft detected their movement and a long barrel specially created to hit long-distance target came out from the side.


    With a loud roar, three shells fired in rapid speed.


    Khisam sensed something was wrong and quickly summoned a barrier to protect himself.


    A shell mmed against it and exploded. The other two magicians were toote to react. The shells mmed onto their chest, caving it in, breaking all the bones protecting it, and then the shell exploded, shooting out a cone of fire and shrapnels.


    The shell was actually designed to prate bunkers and fortress. A Diamond Rank''s durability might be hard, but the shell still manage to significantly injure them. Especially since they were magicians.


    Warriors had higher durability than magicians. The only disadvantage they had was that they had to fight in close range and had limited abilities to fight against magicians who could use all kinds of spells.


    Khisam saw his subordinates being injured, but there was nothing he could do as another volley of shells came flying at high speed and sted them to bits.


    The barrier around him shook like mad and then it shattered.


    Gritting his teeth, Khisam immediately teleported away. But when he appeared again, another shell was already in front of his face.


    "What!!! How!!!"


    Khisam teleported again and again as one shell after another kept appearing wherever he teleported to.


    After a few seconds, he had enough of it, and struck the shell instead. It exploded me in a cone shape, but Khisam managed to dodge.


    Aldred looked at this scene through the projection screen and smiled. "How did the aircrafts predicted where he would teleport?"


    Corduul replied: "Our Artificial Intelligence has been improved countless times through simted battles. We have trained it in all kinds of situation and one of those training involved attacking an enemy capable of teleportation. After thousands of test, the A.I finally achieved 95% uracy rate."


    "So you are telling me that the robot is guessing where this man would teleport?" Aldred was impressed. A.I could really do a lot.


    But this was also possible with magic. In fact, magic could even dy the time it took for the enemy to teleport.


    Aldred asked Corduul about this.


    "It is possible to vibrate space and time within a certain area to achieve this effect, but it would consume tremendous amount of energy for that. We do not think that the current target is worthy of such weapon."


    Aldredughed. "I see."
