After Kurnugi was taken away by Medivh and Selene for re-education.
The entire Stella Kingdom army suddenly became leaderless.
However, this war between Fiore and Stella, two great military and magic nations, did not end so hastily.
Far away in the Stella Kingdom.
"What a joke!"
"Kurnugi, how could you desert in battle?!"
"You have no public morality at all…"
"Forget it, I knew I couldn't rely on you!"
"Next, the task of attacking the Fiore Kingdom will be left to me."
As Animus spoke, he pulled out a VR game helmet-like device, similar to those in the SAO world, and put it on his head. This VR helmet allowed Animus to remotely control the frontline Magical Vanguard.
Originally, Animus didn't need this helmet. He had fully entrusted the task of attacking the Fiore Kingdom and the authority to command the army to Kurnugi. He genuinely trusted Kurnugi, after all, they were of the same Wraith. But what he didn't expect was...
Just now! Kurnugi, as the Regent of the Stella Kingdom, suddenly sent him a message. The message was simple: "Animus, something bad has happened! Our plan has changed. It seems I can no longer continue playing with you. My Father and my Mother have come looking for me! But don't be afraid, I will tie up my parents, and the rest of the work is up to you."
Speaking of which, Kurnugi was still very professional. Before his power was completely gone, he didn't forget to return the command of the army to Animus.
"Oh, humans of the Fiore Kingdom!"
"Tremble completely before the power of this King!"
"You foolish humans can learn Dragon Slayer Magic to challenge Dragons…"
"But it is absolutely impossible to defeat a Dragon!!!"
With Animus's roar, the eyes of thousands of Fourth Generation Dragon Slayers, who were originally in standby mode, instantly lit up with crimson light. Their only goal was to flatten the entire Fiore Kingdom.
"What?!"
"Didn't we already defeat the enemy's Regent?"
"How could this be?"
At the same time, Old Toma, the King of the Fiore Kingdom, panicked when he saw that the Stella Kingdom's army had no intention of retreating after Kurnugi's defeat. Instead, they were eager to advance in an orderly fashion towards the borders of their Fiore Kingdom. He spoke in terror.
"It seems the enemy doesn't intend to give up just like that?!"
"But, that's also true!"
"After all, that Kurnugi fellow was just the Regent of the Stella Kingdom!"
"Since the enemy nation has a Regent, then they must have a King…"
"Currently, we have only defeated the enemy's Regent. The King of the Stella Kingdom has not surrendered yet~"
Erza looked at the group of Fourth Generation Dragon Slayers (intelligent Magical Vanguard created from Dragon Slayer Lacrima mass-produced by Crystal Dragons) who were ready for attack. A slight smile played on her lips.
Erza first gently stretched her wrists, making a 'crack, crack' sound, then softly spoke to the S-Class Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild around her: "Everyone, it seems it's finally our turn to make a big move."
Well, how should I put it?!
It's not easy for this group of S-Class Mages from the Fairy Tail Guild to come out together. They can't just go back without doing anything, can they?!
"Sizzle, sizzle…"
"Is it finally our turn to act?!"
Upon hearing this, Laxus's body erupted with bursts of lightning, eager to fight.
"In that case…"
"Taking care of His Majesty the King, the ministers, and the injured Warrod and others, will be left to you, Yuri. We need to stretch our muscles a bit."
Gildarts, who had been constantly yawning since entering the palace, as if he could fall asleep at any moment, suddenly perked up when he realized there was work to do and he could legally dismantle things. He immediately wasn't sleepy anymore. He handed the cleanup work to the elderly Yuri, then directly untied his cloak, threw it aside, and prepared for battle.
"Understood…"
Yuri didn't say much upon hearing this. His gaze simply swept over Laxus, Ur, Ultear, and Mirajane…
After confirming that the strength of these little ones had all reached a terrifying level, Yuri turned his head and looked at Jura and the others, commanding: "Hey, you little ones, you must be the Mages from Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale, right?!"
"As you can see, the task of fighting the enemy is enough for the Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild! As for you, the task of protecting His Majesty the King will be left to you."
Well, Yuri rationally distributed the tasks according to everyone's combat power.
"Master Yuri Dreyar."
"The enemy seems to be very numerous, and each of them is quite strong! Is it really okay to leave everything to the Mages of the Magician Guild Fairy Tail?!"
"I mean, don't judge me by my appearance, I can also go to the front line and fight the enemy!"
Upon hearing this, Jura first bowed deeply to the super senior of the Ishgar continent's magic world, Yuri Dreyar, who was the founder of the Magician Guild Fairy Tail, the Vice Chairman of the Magic Council ERA, and ranked third among the Saint Ten Wizard—a dazzling array of titles. Then he asked in a deep voice.
"Hahahaha…"
"I'm already very pleased that you have this intention."
"Your name is Jura Neekis, right?"
"Your talent is indeed good, and you're just a hair's breadth away from the threshold of the Saint Ten Wizard! Not bad, not bad, really good…"
"If you have time in the future, visit the Magic Council ERA more often~"
"Although us old folks, due to our age, have a lot of magic power, our reaction speed and practical combat ability against enemies are not as good as before…"
"But giving a little guidance to little ones like you is still no problem."
"I won't say much about the distant future! But it can at least help you avoid some detours…"
"Breaking through the threshold of the Ten Wizard Saints a few months early is still achievable."
After sizing up Jura, Yuri knew that this man was honest and indeed had some magical talent. With a little guidance, he could become a decent combat force.
Although Jura would never catch up to the little monsters of the Fairy Tail Guild, with the guidance of Yuri and others, he could at least avoid many detours and help the Magic Council ERA share some of the pressure.
"Uh…"
"Thank you for your recognition, I will continue to work hard."
Jura seemed not to have expected that Yuri, a senior in the magic world, would value him so much and praise him so unreservedly. This made him feel flattered and his face immediately turned red.
The blush of youth surpasses everything.
However, this blush was only for a moment…
Jura immediately became serious. He looked at Yuri and said in a deep voice: "No, now is not the time to discuss these things! Senior Yuri, the enemy's strength is truly formidable right now. We absolutely cannot put all the pressure of facing the enemy head-on on the shoulders of the Magician Guild Fairy Tail."
"Don't worry."
To this, Yuri just chuckled with his hands behind his back…
And gave Jura a look to calm down.
Yuri seemed not at all worried about whether the mere seven Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild would fall into danger in a battle against thousands, even tens of thousands, of enemy troops.
