Xu Yi's words flowed like a river. He spoke to the seven archmages for half an hour, but they still couldn't understand what he meant by 'using scientific concepts to view magic'.
Xu Yi was very helpless about this.
These seven archmages had lived in the Sines since they were young. They weren't like the children on Earth who paid attention to establishing scientific concepts from a young age. Naturally, they didn't have any understanding of science.
Moreover, they'd studied and researched magic under traditional concepts for decades. It was normal for them to be less receptive to new concepts than the children who'd just entered the New Flight College.
Xu Yi didn't plan on letting them truly understand this concept in such a short time. The reason he spent so much time explaining these things to the seven archmages was to let them recognize a fact.
The fact was that the traditional concept of magic was outdated. All the mages from the two empires, including the archmages, had no ability to stop New Flyer.
Although the seven archmages were still somewhat unwilling to accept this, they had to admit that Xu Yi was right. This was the truth.
"Actually, if it was possible, I wouldn't want to fight this war." Xu Yi said with a sincere expression.
"The destruction brought about by war is too terrifying. In my opinion, it's meaningless.
However, if we don't go through war, New Flyer and I will encounter many obstacles.
For example, if we don't go through this war, I think it'll be very difficult for me to have the opportunity to speak with all of you on equal terms. "
"No, with your status as an archmage, you'll definitely have the opportunity to speak with us on equal terms."
The archmage from the Kandla Empire who'd had deep conversations with Archmage Raduka and Archmage Aufalian sighed and shook his head.
"But if it wasn't for this war and the strength that New Flyer displayed, you definitely wouldn't have been able to convince us of your words."
"Actually, I don't really believe it even now." Another archmage from the Malor Empire said with a sullen expression.
"Chairman Xu, I admit that the concepts you've brought up are very novel, but I still have my doubts until there's enough evidence to prove it."
Xu Yi shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
He didn't have to make them believe him, as long as he could pique their interest.
A brand new set of magic theories based on scientific research, if they wanted to spread it on the Sines Continent, they couldn't leave the participation of these Arch Magi.
Xu Yi needed not only their rich knowledge of magic, but also their high reputation in the circle of Magicians.
As long as the archmages at the apex of magic were interested in this new theory and personally invested themselves in the research, they would definitely lead the other mages of the Sines to join in as well.
"Alright, Chairman Xu.
I admit that we can't deal with your Magic Airships, so the army below doesn't have any hope of winning this battle. "That Kandla Empire Arch Magus gave another sigh.
"But if you want us to admit defeat, I'm afraid that's unrealistic.
This is the final battle for the glory of our Kandla Empire. We can lose, but we cannot surrender. "
"Is that so?" Xu Yi smiled, revealing a slightly strange smile.
"The reason why you feel that it's impossible to surrender is because the blow to you isn't big enough, right?"
That Kandla Empire Arch Magus gave a bitter laugh. He didn't refute it, but he also didn't admit it.
Xu Yi looked at the two armies that had stopped fighting and made a hand gesture to the seven Arch Magi, telling them to wait. Then he flew to the front of the Kandla Empire's formation.
"Marshal Sudiman, can you come out and talk?"
Marshal Sudiman in the middle of the formation looked at Xu Yi in the distance for a while before raising the belly of his warhorse. Ignoring the generals around him, he walked out of the formation.
The dense crowd of Kandla Empire soldiers opened a path and marshal Sudiman quickly arrived in front of Xu Yi.
Seeing marshal Sudiman jump off his horse, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "Lord marshal, we meet again."
Marshal Sudiman narrowed his eyes and seriously looked at Xu Yi for a while before giving a cold snort.
"It's a pity that I wasn't able to kill you last time."
"Let's not talk about the past." Xu Yi waved his hand.
"Lord marshal, I'm sure you know the current situation very well.
I don't want this battle to continue because it's meaningless. What do you think? "
"What?
Are you here to persuade me to surrender? "
Marshal Sudiman's eyes were cold as he said in a muffled voice, "Xu Yi, let me tell you, even if all the soldiers of the Kandla Empire die in this battle, we will never surrender to you.
If you want to end this battle, then use your fists to do the talking! "
Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head. From Marshal Sudiman's point of view, he obviously wouldn't choose to surrender directly.
Marshal Sudiman was the commander of the Kandla Empire's military and the highest representative of the Kandla Empire's military. Now, he was leading the most elite troops of the Kandla Empire. If he chose to surrender now, it would almost mean the complete surrender of the Kandla Empire.
This was obviously not something that marshal Sudiman could decide. Naturally, he couldn't accept it.
"Alright, you want me to use my fists to do the talking, right?
Then I'll show you my fists. "
Xu Yi sighed and took out a small magic communicator from his pocket.
"Rockwell, according to the original plan, test the Magic Particle Beam Cannon."
Marshal Sudiman looked at Xu Yi with a strange expression.
What the hell was the Magic Particle Beam Cannon?
Could it be that this was the "fist" that Xu Yi said he would show him?
"Lord marshal, raise your head. What you're about to see will definitely leave an indelible impression on you."
Hearing Xu Yi's words, marshal Sudiman looked into the sky and saw ten Magic Airships flying out of the Magic Airship fleet. They gathered in the sky to the west of the battlefield and formed a circle.
This unusual action immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield. Everyone raised their heads and looked over curiously.
After the ten Magic Airships formed a formation in the sky, there was a dazzling white light that appeared in front of them before they collided in the center of the circle.
The expressions of the seven Arch Magi floating in the sky all changed at the same time.
They could feel that the white light released by the ten Magic Airships had a strange magic fluctuation. It was different from the magic fluctuations they knew of before.
Thinking of how Xu Yi had told them that the magic fluctuations were the vibrations of the magic elemental energy, the different vibrations represented the different forms of the magic elemental energy. If the magic fluctuations released by the white light were this special, the magic released in the end would be very special as well.
As soon as this thought appeared in their minds, their expressions changed again.
This time, it wasn't just the seven Archmages. Even the sixteen Great Mages on the other side of the sky, as well as the other mages of the two empires below, all changed their expressions at the same time.
All the mages could clearly sense that at the center of the circle where the ten white light beams converged, the mana waves became clearer and more intense. In the blink of an eye, it had exceeded the range of mana waves caused by ordinary magic.
However, even when the intensity of the Mana fluctuations had reached the level of a Forbidden Spell, they still didn't stop. Instead, they continued to increase at an even faster speed.
The magic elemental energy in the surrounding magic space wildly gathered at the center of the ten white light beams and in the blink of an eye, the magic space in a radius of over a thousand meters was completely sucked clean.
Initially, the 10 rays of white light gathered in the center of the circle to form a very bright white ball. As more and more magical elements were absorbed, the white ball grew bigger and bigger. It gradually turned from a faint white color to a deathly white color, and then became faintly discernible with traces of black stripes inside.
The seven Arch Magi who fell back to the ground because they didn't want to be affected looked at the white ball with serious expressions.
They could easily feel how shocking the amount of magic elemental energy inside the white ball was. Once this white ball exploded, its might would be very terrifying.
Even if it was a Forbidden Spell, its might would be far from comparable.
When two of the Arch Magi turned to look at Xu Yi standing in front of the Kandla Empire's army, they suddenly felt that something was strange.
When they turned their heads, they saw that the white ball in the sky had already shot out and turned into a blinding white light that stole all the sunlight in the sky. It flew towards a mountain range in the west of the battlefield.
The speed of the white light was very shocking. It had already reached the mountain range in the instant it shot out.
Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched the white light gather at the mountain range and then explode into an abnormally bright and dazzling light that completely covered the sun. Everyone was forced to close their eyes tightly.
Some people couldn't react in time and were instantly blinded by this incomparably dazzling white light. Tears involuntarily flowed down their faces.
A moment later, a terrifying muffled sound, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, came from the west along with the tremors under their feet. The tremors made everyone's legs go weak and many people even fell to the ground.
After a few minutes, the sound gradually faded and the tremors under their feet also slowly subsided.
Everyone opened their eyes with difficulty and looked at the mountain range in the west.
However … there was no longer any mountain range.
As far as everyone's eyes could see, the mountain range in the west had actually been split in two. The left side extended towards the south, while the right side extended towards the northeast. However, in the middle, a huge flat gap had suddenly appeared.
The most famous Tanggula Mountain Range in the center of the Kandla Empire had actually been blown apart!
Xu Yi turned his head and smiled at the dumbfounded Marshal Sudirman.
"Lord Marshal, is this fist big enough?"
