In the eyes of others, New Flyer first issued a final warning to the Mana Magic Kingdom, and then after the Mana Magic Kingdom ignored it, they quickly launched an official attack. It could be said that they were extremely decisive and decisive, and even a little too straightforward.
But in reality, the idea of officially launching an attack on the Mana Magic Kingdom was far from being passed as smoothly as it seemed in New Flyer.
Or to be honest, in fact, most of the higher-ups in New Flyer expressed strong opposition to this idea.
This wasn't strange because no matter how one looked at it, it was an extremely crazy move for a Chamber of Commerce to go to war with a kingdom.
Not to mention that this kingdom was the Mana Magic Kingdom.
Compared to ordinary kingdoms like the Lampari Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Mana Magic Kingdom had the backing of the Sorcerers Guild, and had an incomparable advantage in terms of mage resources. Therefore, the military strength of the Mana Magic Kingdom was substantially higher than that of an ordinary kingdom like the Lampari Kingdom.
Most of the higher-ups in New Flyer believed that choosing to go to war with the Mana Magic Kingdom was simply courting death.
Even if the Sorcerers Guild really instigated the Mana Magic Kingdom's mages to directly attack New Flyer, the most appropriate thing to do at this time was of course to prepare defenses to prevent the same thing from happening again, and not to directly go to war with the Mana Magic Kingdom.
After all, New Flyer did indeed solve this problem after setting a trap.
No matter how many mages the Mana Magic Kingdom had, it was impossible for them to ignore the loss of 23 advanced mages and one great mage.
And as long as New Flyer prepared its defenses, the Mana Magic Kingdom would have no way to attack.
Of course, the main problem that New Flyer's higher-ups considered at this time wasn't this, but they felt that now was an important period for the New Flyer to stabilize and develop at a high speed. The most important thing to consider should be to continue this stable development, and not to take risks — or to put it simply, to attack a kingdom.
However … the objections of the other higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce did not have any effect in the end, because there were two people in the Chamber of Commerce who maintained a supportive attitude towards this decision.
The first person was naturally Xu Yi.
The crazy idea of starting a war with the Mana Magic Kingdom was, of course, put forward by Xu Yi, who had always been regarded as a lunatic. He was also the one who supported this idea the most.
As the president of the New Flyer, as well as the unquestionably largest shareholder of the New Flyer, coupled with his extremely high prestige within the Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi's proposal was forcefully passed even if the other higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce all opposed it.
This was because strictly speaking, the New Flyer Guards were only responsible for Xu Yi and only listened to his orders. As long as he insisted, the New Flyer Guards would move out without hesitation.
However, what made the higher-ups of the other chambers of commerce agree to this decision was the support of another person.
This person … was Instructor Carmilla.
Instructor Carmilla's support for Xu Yi's proposal was beyond everyone's expectations.
This was because Instructor Carmilla herself was the most powerful Archmage in the Mage Circle. She was also a Great Mage for decades, so she had always been highly valued by the Sorcerers Guild.
Even if she would not run to support the Sorcerers Guild because of her personal relationship with Xu Yi, it was a bit surprising that she would turn around and attack the Mana Magic Kingdom.
Moreover, she was obviously the one who understood the strength of the Sorcerers Guild and the Mana Magic Kingdom the most. She should have strongly advised Xu Yi to give up this idea.
However, she clearly expressed her support for Xu Yi's proposal. She even personally came to the meeting to emphasize her position to the other higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, with the support of Instructor Carmilla, the other higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce chose to agree to Xu Yi's proposal. This made the New Flyer Guards' war against the Mana Magic Kingdom a reality.
Before the war, the New Flyer Guards would of course conduct a detailed analysis of the strength of the Mana Magic Kingdom and the situation after the war.
In the specific analysis of the war situation, the Guards did not put the conventional forces of the Mana Magic Kingdom in their eyes.
As the guards of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they were already equipped with the latest military magic machines.
In the countless drills and the inconspicuous battles on the sea, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards had already recognized a fact. It was that with the new military magic machines, the traditional army that was stuck in the era of swords, spears, bows, and other weapons couldn't resist at all. It was as simple as an adult bullying a defenseless baby.
The Mana Magic Kingdom didn't import any military magic machines from the New Flyer, so their traditional forces couldn't pose a threat to the New Flyer Guards at all.
The only thing they had to be careful of was the Magician Army of the Mana Magic Kingdom that far surpassed the other countries of the continent.
The normal cold weapons of normal people couldn't harm the steel made New Flyer Guards at all, but the magic attacks of the magicians were much stronger and could still pose a threat.
Of course, if this problem was before, it would indeed be a big problem for the New Flyer Guards, but since the Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce worked with the Military Machinery Research Center to develop the military Magic Armours, this problem had been solved.
When the New Flyer Guard Fleet's fourth fleet ambushed Great Magician Glover and the twenty three High Grade Magicians he led, it was the first time the military Magic Armours had been used in battle.
Facts proved that the two large transport Magic Ships and the eight Magic Guard Ships with the military Magic Armours had the protection of the Ninth Grade Deep Blue Protection Array, so they could perfectly block all the magic attacks of the magicians.
After that, the military Magic Armours were installed on all the Magic Airships, Armoured Magic Vehicles, and Magic War Chariots of the New Flyer Guards.
The thirty Magic Airships and two hundred Armoured Magic Vehicles that the New Flyer Guards brought to attack the Mana Magic Kingdom had all been installed with this device.
So even if the magicians of the Glory Legion had wildly attacked, they couldn't injure the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards at all. That was excluding the fellows who had fainted from the impact.
But this didn't make Hart's group relax.
Because they were clear that the real battle that the New Flyer Guards needed to face had just begun.
And the opponents of this battle were the Great Magicians who far surpassed the High Grade Magicians.
The reason why it was "Great Magicians" was because the Mana Magic Kingdom had a total of thirty seven Great Magicians. In the Glory Army in front of them, there were twenty one of them.
The Great Magicians didn't make a move before because of their status, but now that the normal magicians couldn't resist the attacks of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards, it wouldn't be right if the Great Magicians didn't make a move.
As expected, as soon as Furio's voice fell, there were five figures that flew out from the Glory Army. Each figure had a clear spatial fluctuation around them, so they were clearly Great Magicians.
Seeing them, Hart immediately gave the order in a deep voice, "Immediately follow the plan and attack your targets. Try not to give them a chance to fight back!"
As soon as the order was given, the New Flyer Guards who had stopped attacking because most of the Glory Army's magicians had run away began attacking again.
First the two hundred Armoured Magic Vehicles on the ground fired the Magic Cannons at the same time. The sky was instantly filled with balls of light from the Magic Cannons, making the entire sky incomparably dazzling.
The five Great Magicians of the Glory Army were a bit surprised, but they were still powerful Great Magicians, so they didn't try to dodge like the magicians who had run away before. With a wave of their hand, they created a powerful Magic Shield.
Countless Mana Cannonballs exploded on the Mana Shields they had set up around them, immediately triggering a violent explosion.
The explosions filled the air as countless balls of light exploded, but the five Great Magicians didn't move at all, as if they weren't affected at all.
Seeing the five Great Magicians calm down under the fierce cannon fire, the other magicians of the Glory Army were filled with morale and they couldn't help breaking out in cheers.
However, Hart who was commanding the airship couldn't help giving a cold laugh.
"These magicians are still as arrogant and stupid as before.
They could clearly dodge most of the attacks with their abilities, but they didn't dodge at all.
Do they really think that blocking the attacks of the Magic Cannons doesn't consume magic?
Hey, Macon, tell me what the situation is with the five Great Magicians on the other side? "
Macon looked at the image on the control panel in front of him and said with a laugh, "Compared to before, the strength of the magic fluctuations around the five Great Magicians has clearly decreased.
The one with the least decreased by 9% and the one with the most decreased by 17%.
According to the formula for calculating the strength of the magic fluctuations, their magic has decreased by around 5% to 20%. "
"Although these guys are Great Magicians, they are clearly far weaker than Great Magician Runa." Dwarf Commander Omar shook his head.
Omar shook his head, "Great Magician Juna would only lose 3% of his magic under the same attack."
"That's different.
Great Magician Juna is a Fifth Grade Great Magician, only a step away from becoming an Arch Magus, so he's much stronger than them.
Moreover, he often practices with us, so he's very clear on what method to use when fighting us. "The elven commander Fario calmly said.
"As for the Great Magicians on the other side, they don't have any experience at all, so of course they will suffer a loss."
"Since they don't have any experience, we'll let them gain some valuable experience this time!" Hart waved his hand and laughed.
"Of course, there will be a painful lesson."
