Chapter 329: Lynn: The Time for White Phosphorus Fire to Be Phased Out Has Arrived!
The entire healing process concluded within a brief three minutes. By the time Devi rose again, the injuries on his body had completely vanished.
Edweil had personally experienced this eerie, unquenchable fire outside the harbor town. Intelligence from the kingdom had emphasized how this very fire had decimated elite forces of over ten thousand troops...
Given his direct leadership in this mission, he was naturally not unprepared!
"Thank you, Lord Edweil..." Devi expressed gratitude, his demeanor filled with immense remorse.
He had led the charge with the aim of seizing that colossal alchemical construct, intending to research ways to decipher it. This would have lessened casualties in the upcoming war. Little did he anticipate the adversary's self-destruction, leading to the demise of over a dozen Gryphon Knights...
Devi regretted deeply. Had he not been inclined to capture the enemy alive, they could have used divine magic to obliterate the alchemical construct outright.
"As punishment for this mission's failure, whenever the Gryphon Knights are deployed in the future, you must lead the charge, confronting the enemy until I issue the order to retreat, the enemy's defeat, or... death!" Edweil's indifferent words echoed in Devi's ears. Sacrificing over ten Gryphon Knights merely to destroy an airborne vessel was an outcome Edweil clearly could not accept.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
A Gryphon Knight typically emerged from the empire's elite forces or even the divine punishment corps. Coupled with synchronized nurturing and combat training, it took years to mold them into shape, not to mention the cost of rearing and training a gryphon from a young age.
A squad of Gryphon Knights, just in terms of training, was enough to bankrupt a prosperous duke. Yet here they lay, dead!
If it weren't for the impending war where every ounce of strength was invaluable, Devi's fate would have likely been escorted back for judgment by the tribunal!
"Swearing in the name of the divine, from this day forth, I shall lead from the frontlines until death do us part!" Devi swore fervently.
Edweil nodded in acknowledgment. At that moment, the remaining Gryphon Knights also flew in, carrying the bodies of their fallen comrades!
The condition of these fallen ones was horrific—some perished with bodies maimed by explosions, others bore pockmarks from the corrosive white phosphorus, with flames still flickering...
In their efforts to retrieve their comrades' bodies, those still alive among the Gryphon Knights also endured substantial hardships. Due to lack of intelligence, many had their bodies tainted by this terrifying fire.
Before Edweil could act, the other bishops began healing these individuals in a similar manner.
The other senators nodded in agreement. Five non-magicians had exchanged their lives for over a dozen Gryphon Knights, making their deaths somewhat valuable in a certain sense...
The cost of the newest airship was priced at merely two thousand magical coins, its production cost even lower...
Lynn felt a tinge of regret for Hami and the others. To him, five skilled pilots were far more precious than the deaths of several Gryphon Knights.
Presently, the workshops in Iyeta were swiftly manufacturing airships, but the shortage of pilots was a significant concern. Training them was a challenging task.
"I read in the intelligence report that the Holy Church seems to have found a way to counter the hellfire..." a senator hesitantly spoke.
At this, everyone in the room turned their gaze to Lynn.
Due to the council's propaganda and various rumors circulating among the public, they were well aware of the legendary feats of this magic prodigy before them. Naturally, they understood his ability to create an immortal hellfire.
When Lynn was still a third-circle wizard, he used it to destroy half a town. It had also been utilized recently in defeating the kingdom's elite forces. These two accomplishments in annihilating legion-level forces undoubtedly established this peculiar flame as a symbol of the sorcerer!
There were rumors that Lynn summoned this from an endless purgatory, a flame that would scorch and consume flesh and blood, ensuring death upon the slightest contact.
The sacrifices of Hami and the others had resulted in such significant achievements, and Lynn's development of the white phosphorus explosive was also invaluable.
Raphael, naturally, did not believe in any so-called hellfire, but he hadn't expected the Holy Church to find a solution so quickly...
