Chapter 648 Rain of fire (6)
General Ivan wanted to give an order for the ballistas to change their target, but there was no use.
He was nowhere near fast enough to give this order before the wyverns released their fire breaths.
These flames fell down on the ballistas and quickly melted the steel and burnt the wood to ashes. There was no resistance at all as the powerful flames completely incinerated all of the ballistas that were there.
In no time at all, all of the ballistas had been turned into ashes and metal slag.
Once the ballistas were out of the picture...there was no threat to the wyverns at all.
There were arrows and spells that were shot out, but the strong hide of the wyverns were able to block these attacks. They weren't able to do any real damage to the wyverns with just these attacks alone.
So the wyverns were able to fly above the enemies and rain down flames on them, forcing them further and further back.
The magicians did their best to use their magic barriers to block these flames, but it was clear that they were running out of magic power at this rate.
They had been using their magic to block the fire breaths earlier and now they were still blocking the fire breaths. These fire breaths weren't that easy to block in the first place.
General Killock saw this and waved his men forward as he said, "Now is our chance! Break through the enemy formation and take down their general!"
His men had been standing there in a daze, but seeing General Killock charge forward, they all followed him.
If there was one thing that they believed in, it was their general.
If their general was charging in, then they would charge in as well.
General Killock's group of cavalry made their way through the scattered Beirut Kingdom forces and were able to reach the center of the formation.
General Ivan was there with his most loyal subordinates, putting up a last struggle.
General Killock looked up at the wyvern that had come down even more now and saw a face that he recognized. When he saw this face, he couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
It was a lie to say that there wasn't a small part of him that had expected this when he heard about the wyverns.
Sitting on that wyvern was Count Zwein.
After looking up at him with that bitter smile for a bit, General Killock finally asked, "What are you doing here?"
Hearing this, I just said, "I've been waiting for you to come this entire time."
General Killock said with a confused look, "Why were you waiting for me?"
I turned to look at General Ivan as I said with a smile, "Well, I saw what you said with him earlier, so I could guess that you had some kind of grudge with him. I wanted to give you the chance to settle this matter with him."
General Killock revealed a bitter smile before saying, "There was no need to do that. The battle is more important, so you should have taken care of him yourself."
I raised a hand and wagged a finger before saying, "Ze, ze, ze, you were the one that helped us by taking care of those ballistas. So I figured that I should give you some kind of reward."
Then in a more serious voice, I said, "If you didn't get them to change the aim of those ballistas, I don't know how many wyvern lives it would have taken to bring them down. What you did was truly important and I want you to know that."
General Killock was surprised to hear this, but he said with a nod in the end, "Alright, then I'll take you up on your offer."
With a smile, I said, "I'll take care of the rest, you can just take care of the general."
With that, I patted the back of Joan and said, "Go and take care of the surrounding ones. Leave the one in the center for him."
Joan gave a roar before flying forward to flap her wings at General Ivan's formation.
This strong gust of wind pushed back everyone except General Ivan who was standing in the middle.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
