From this, one could imagine that the destination of the slash was probably already a living hell.
"So amazing, speaking of which, since you have this kind of power, why not just hit the other enemy directions with a slash?"
Natsu exclaimed in admiration, and also asked his confusion.
"That way, we wouldn't have to divide our forces to deal with the Alvarez Empire, right?"
"That definitely won't work." The one who answered was not Finn.
But Erza on the side.
As someone who was constantly by Finn's side, her understanding of Finn definitely surpassed most of the people in the guild.
She looked at Natsu, and explained: "First of all, not every army of the Alvarez Empire is in the remote wilderness, or on the sea that no one sets foot on."
"You have to know that this level of attack is very likely to affect other places, and involve many innocent people."
Listening to Erza's words, Natsu nodded slightly.
After all, he wasn't really stupid, and he could still distinguish some issues.
"Secondly." Erza folded her arms, and continued: "After all, the distance is too far, so whether it's the Spriggan 12 or Zeref, they have enough time to react."
"And for us, the biggest threat is the twelve Shields, therefore, if the twelve Shields cannot be destroyed, then this kind of attack is not of much significance."
"In other words, since we can't destroy the main target, there's no need to risk endangering the lives of ordinary people to release this level of attack, right?" Juvia said.
"Just like Magic Power, every time it's used, we need to consider many factors ah." Gray made a supplement.
"Actually, that's not right either." Finn, who had already landed on the ground, spoke.
After pondering for a while, he said: "This move can be used as a single attack, the difference lies in whether it's the compression, or the release of magic power."
His gaze looked at Erza: "Just as Erza said, if we want to achieve the goal of long-range strikes against a wide range of enemies, we need to release a huge amount of magic power."
"But this will cause a series of serious consequences, so I said that this was just to say hello."
"Moreover, their location is a bit close to Hargeon, so I didn't use my full strength either."
"But, even so, it's very amazing." Wendy on the side said.
"After all, this way, the pressure of the subsequent battles over there will be greatly reduced."
One had to know that Hargeon was a city with a developed fishing industry, and it didn't have any mage guilds.
Therefore, the Alvarez Empire could easily break through the port of Hargeon.
And using this as a springboard, they could continuously transport troops from the sea to attack the Ishgar continent.
So Hargeon was also a strategic town that could not be lost.
————————
Far to the west of Magnolia.
Densely packed soldiers were neatly arranged in battle formations.
The sound of footsteps of millions of people gathered together seemed to cause the earth to tremble slightly.
In the middle of the ranks, inside a palace that relied on magic power to walk.
The Winter General, Invel, who was one of the Spriggan 12, came here.
His eyes looked at the figure sitting on the throne in front of him, and he lowered his head slightly.
Because that was the Emperor - Spriggan.
And the Black Wizard who had been feared by the people of the Ishgar continent for four hundred years.
Zeref!
"Your Majesty, Ajeel and Brandish, who were in the vanguard, seem to have been defeated."
Hearing this news, Zeref on the throne had not yet reacted.
Akil, the Alvarez Empire's minister who was hunched over, widened his eyes.
Seeming to be a bit unbelievable, his old voice slowly resounded:
"My grandson... Ajeel was actually defeated?"
Invel reached out and adjusted his glasses: "Not only that, Wall and the others, who were originally responsible for attacking the port of Hargeon, also suffered a devastating blow."
"According to the news we just received, out of the three hundred fleets, only 72 survived by relying on Dimaria's magic, and even Dimaria and Wall were injured because of this..."
"Is that so?" Zeref murmured in a low voice.
"But thinking about it, that's Fairy Tail after all, you guys have always underestimated them too much."
Speaking of this, Zeref slightly raised a smile:
"But this is also good, one-sided battles are really too boring."
"But Your Majesty, the capture of two of the Spriggan 12, and the injury of two others is not something to be happy about for us." Invel said in a deep voice.
"So what?" Zeref glanced at Invel slightly.
His low voice was like the murmur of a demon: "This is war, war itself is cruel."
"Moreover, the fact that they can do this shows that Fairy Tail's strength is strong enough, right?"
"As long as they are strong enough, they have the possibility of killing me, if they are too weak, then we will end them, no matter which situation, it's a joyous thing for me."
"I understand." Invel nodded, and then didn't speak anymore.
He knew that this was Zeref's long-cherished wish, and he also clearly understood that he and others were just chess pieces in Zeref's heart.
Therefore, he would not refute any decision made by Zeref.
————————
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild.
Seeing Finn and the others return safely, Makarov breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward to open his mouth softly: "Thank you for your hard work in tonight's battle!"
"What are you saying, old man, this level is not enough for us to enjoy ourselves at all!"
Natsu raised his fist, and his entire person looked full of energy.
Erza on the side also smiled: "Natsu is right, we can continue to fight."
Although Erza had suffered some injuries in the battle with Ajeel.
But they were not too serious, and under Wendy's treatment.
They were basically almost healed, and she did indeed have the power to fight now.
"Oh right, what's the situation now?" Finn asked.
Speaking of this topic, the atmosphere within the guild gradually became solemn.
"Although we won the first battle, we are still deeply mired in a situation of four besieged on all sides." Makarov said in a deep voice.
"Moreover, we just received news that the country of Bosco in the east was almost completely destroyed, and this almost happened within a day." Mavis said.
Her eyes looked at everyone: "Being able to annihilate a country within a day means that the enemies over there will be very powerful..."
The country of Bosco was a country bordering the kingdom of Fiore to the east.
Although its overall strength was not as good as the kingdom of Fiore.
It still had more than three hundred mage guilds.
And a country that was as powerful as this was completely defeated within a day, so how strong was the strength in the east?
Everyone could imagine.
"But there's still some good news." Just then, Warren spoke.
He raised the small communication magic crystal in his hand, and the face that had been crying finally showed a trace of a smile.
"I just contacted Ichiya, and told him the situation here and all of our deductions."
"And, with the help of Blue Pegasus's Fiore communication network, I transmitted the message to various guilds."
"Now everyone is actively making preparations for war."
After Warren's report was over, Makarov nodded lightly.
After all, this was war.
Not a war of just one guild of Fairy Tail, but a war that swept across the entire Ishgar.
"We should be grateful to be able to get help from other guilds, and we should formulate a new strategy."
Makarov said in a deep voice, and then turned his head to look at Warren: "Warren, report the battle situation."
"Understood!"
Warren nodded, and came to the front of the magic crystal map that was suspended in the air.
And he began to report to everyone.
After the previous brief exchange, everyone in the other guilds had also determined the direction they needed to go to defend.
