Chapter 489 - 453 Loss of Combat Ability
During the fierce exchange of fire, no one noticed that a Void Magic Squad from the Alliance Army had silently arrived and, upon entering the battlefield, immediately dispersed and charged toward the Imperial Army’s warships!
In no time, one of the squad members flew above a destroyer and then quickly dove down, crashing heavily onto the deck in the blink of an eye.
"Voi— Void Magic Warrior!"
"How is this possible!"
"Run for it!"
"Run for it!"
Confronted with the sudden appearance of the Void Magic Warrior from the sky, everyone on the warship, from the captain to the crew, was stunned. In their minds, wasn’t the Alliance’s Void Magic Corps supposed to be engaging with their own air magic forces?
How had they returned to reinforce so suddenly?
Could it be... could it be that their own Void Magic Corps had been annihilated!?
Since they had been engaged in intense combat all this time, the Imperial Fleet was unaware of the situation with their Void Magic Corps. It was precisely because of this ignorance that the sight of the Alliance’s Void Magic Warrior joining the fray made their hearts skip a beat.
A second later, the sailors and the captain on the warship had various different reactions.
Watching the Void Magic Warrior land on the deck, the crew instantly scattered, as though avoiding the plague itself, attempting to run as far away as possible. But this was clearly futile; how could they, on their two legs, outrun Void Magic Warriors who could fly? Besides, they were in the air—where could they possibly run to?
Unlike the panicked crew, the captain of the destroyer had a much calmer demeanor. He didn’t run, and he didn’t panic. The captain was well aware that any panic was futile under these circumstances. Exaggeration aside, the moment the Void Magic Warrior landed on the deck, everyone aboard was already dead!
Thus, the captain seized the last moments to do something. He picked up the Magic Energy Communicator and reported the situation on the ship to the Fleet Commander.
One has to say, a captain is still a captain, experienced indeed, because while he was making his report, the Void Magic Warrior who had landed on the deck had already started a massacre!
Facing the scattered fleeing crew, this Void Magic Warrior didn’t bother to give chase. He simply targeted the cannons and gunners directly, raising his hand to continue sweeping across the cannons, killing all of the gunners on them!
Void Magic Warriors like those of the Alliance and Imperial armies, trained by regular military forces, were of very high quality. This was not only reflected in their combat ability but also in various other aspects, just like now.
As a member of the Alliance Army, the Void Magic Warrior before them was very clear about what he should be doing at the moment. The Alliance Army had quite professional and systematic courses on how to destroy a warship and how to do it quickly and effectively.
Under such specialized training, every Void Magic Warrior of the Alliance Army was very clear about what to do when facing warships of different classes, and this Void Magic Warrior in front of us was no exception.
He didn’t choose to destroy the warship’s power core, as this was a destroyer—a ship with a thick deck and its Magic Stone located at the very bottom of the hull. Therefore, penetrating downward from the deck would take a considerable amount of time, especially since he was just an ordinary Void Magic Warrior wearing Fifth Generation Mass-Produced Armor, which would make the process even longer. Hence, he opted to kill the gunners first and then destroy the bridge.
Even with Fifth Generation Mass-Produced Armor, slaughtering unarmed gunners was a piece of cake, and within minutes, he had killed most of the gunners with Magic Energy Bullets, also destroying several gun turrets in the process. Immediately after, he leaped up and flew toward the bridge.
In just a few breaths’ time, the Void Magic Warrior charged into the bridge and a series of screams followed. Moments later, when he flew back out, the Captain and other senior crew members inside the bridge had all been killed. But he wasn’t done yet; as he hovered in the air, he turned back and fired several Magic Energy Cannons at the bridge, instantly obliterating it.
Only after completing all this did the Void Magic Warrior fly away from the warship without looking back, heading towards another target.
It wasn’t until he had gradually flown away that the surviving crew on the deck could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although they lived and the destroyer itself hadn’t been sunk, with the Captain killed and the bridge destroyed—not to mention the death of the gunners—the destroyer had effectively lost all combat capability, becoming a mere decoration on the battlefield.
At the same time, it wasn’t just this warship that had become ornamental on the battlefield. With the intervention of the Alliance’s Void Magic Squad, similar events began to unfold rapidly on the battlefield, and within minutes, four or five Imperial Warships had lost their combat capability due to their attacks.
What’s more, the list included an Imperial Heavy Armored Ship!
Even though the Alliance Army was at a severe disadvantage on this battlefield, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. The troops led by Wilton, although surrounded, consisted of a large army made up of a thousand warships, including no less than seven hundred battleships. Facing such a massive and powerful force, even with a numerical advantage and encirclement, the Imperial Army dared not take them lightly, and their Armored Ship Troops were key to potentially overcoming the Alliance Army.

Who would have thought that as soon as the Alliance’s Void Magic Squad arrived, they would render a Heavy Armored Ship incapable of fighting, which was definitely not a good omen for the Imperial Army.
On the other hand, when the first warship was disabled, the Fleet Commander of the Imperial Army had already received the news. But even with this immediate knowledge, what could the Fleet Commander do?
Nothing!
The battle between both sides was in full swing, and it was the most critical moment of the fight. Where would the Fleet Commander of the Imperial Army have the time to deal with a Void Magic Squad? Even if he had the time, he didn’t have the ability. Was he supposed to bomb the Void Magic Warriors with the main cannons?
The only thing the Fleet Commander could do now was to immediately contact the command of the Void Magic Corps and ask them to send someone to stop the Alliance’s Void Magic Squad.
In the eyes of the Fleet Commander, such a request was completely normal and not at all excessive, as it was already the duty of their own Void Magic Corps to intercept the Alliance’s Void Magic Warriors. Now that the enemy squad had arrived, it was natural that their troops should come to assist immediately.
But faced with such a simple request, the Commander of the Imperial Army’s Void Magic Corps had been slow to respond. To make matters worse, more and more Void Magic Warriors from the Alliance kept arriving on the battlefield!
This caused not just a minor change in the situation on the battlefield, but a massive shift!
