In the centre of the conflict of the three kingdoms of the north was the Very Large Crystal lode found in Edward's Crevasse.
The place that no person would think was important, found by forest ranger from Rawyth would forever go down in the history of the Nuren continent.
The three-way battle of the three kingdoms of the north was making the historians very excited.
The few things worth writing about these days were the discoveries of the Gavin Vermont and the mystery designer of the artifacts from Ruhen.
These old men and women wanted something else to write about, and a three way war was just that thing.
The historians had their pens ready, there were big debates about the would be winner of the war.
Many people believed that Ruhen was currently the horse in the lead in this three horse race.
Ruhen's reveal of many artifacts that helped them to always with against the two countries was an indicator.
Many people agreed that Ruhen's mentality of supporting research was paying off with large amounts of dividends for them.
Ruhen had used their [Explosive Flux Cannon] artifact to try and wipe out the forces from Arin who were attacking position 1-010 in the second defence line.
However, their plan had not worked as Death Special Affinity holder Prince Alexander Wilhelm Arin had been there to protect thousands of military men and women.
The Prince had used tier 4 combination spell, [Super Encased Black Tombs], to save these thousands of people.
One of the people that Prince Alexander had saved was the highly decorated military man Captain Hans Ignocia.
However position 1-010 was very lucky to have a person of such ability, protecting thousands of people, which exactly what did not happen in position 2-003.
The Ruhenese had planned to use the same method of firing off hundreds of [Explosive Flux Cannons] at position 2-003 to kill off many people at the same time, there it worked.
Thousands of people were killed in one go with no one to save them.
At that time information about the [Explosive Flux Cannon's] ability to fire off more powerful shots had not reached position 2-003.
It was only afterwards that information was known to the people.
The historians were shocked when information about the killing of thousands of people at the same time.
Information about the designer of this killing artifact was worth a lot of money following the attack.
Position 3-011, which was the third place that was being defended by the Ruhenese on the second defence line, had not gotten a chance to use the same gambit.
That was because information about the [Explosive Flux Cannons] had reached the forces from Arin who were attack it..
Position 2-003 and position 3-011, had to abandon their positions because position 1-010 had been breached.
Prince Alexander Wilhelm Arin had used a Legendary spell to kill a thousand people who were mostly mages. Amongst which included the first tier 4 mage to die in this conflict.
Without the presence of the mages, the battlefield became a slaughter house because mages against regular human troops was a no brainer.
The Ruhenese could only choose to retreat, but not before suffering heavy casualties.

"How are the northern defence positions?"
A man with green eyes and brown hair which was cut very neatly, the man seemed to be in his forties asked a woman who was standing in front of him inside of an office.
The man had asked the question with a smile on his face, like he did not really care about the actual answer.
This man was the commander of the forces from Ruhen, the infamous Ken Wright for the Arinese, but famous for the Ruhenese.
"Sir, after the reveal of the [Explosive Flux Cannon] in the south, the Rawythens have been attacking the defence positions very carefully."
The woman adjutant answered in a very serious voice.
Her commander might be a little bit lackadaisical, but he was serious about his job, though he might not show it, which makes people lower their guard against him.
"Continue."
"Yes sir. The Rawythens have forced us into this long four month battle of attrition, they are afraid that if they go for a big battle, we will bring out the [Explosive Flux Cannon]."
Commander Ken Wright nodded his head in understanding that Albert Thomson is just that type of person, highly conservative, unlike Alexandria Wells.
"Anything else you want to report Captain Susanne Locke."
Commander Ken Wright asked as he looked at his adjutant in the eyes, which made the woman slightly blush, however the key word being slightly.
The woman adjutant kept her professionalism even as the commander was making moves on her.
"Sir we have been getting information that Arin will restart their attack after the heavy losses in position B, we had to abandon position B and C after they managed to breach position A with that legendary spell."
"Oh, I guess they are ready for the next round after four months of regrouping. What is the intelligence report on the forces they are deploying?"
"Sir, we can confirm that at least three trump card units will be leading the attacks from positions A, B and C."
Ken Wright nodded his head in acknowledgement of the incoming forces.
"Alex is sure out for blood."
The 'Alex' he was talking about was Major Alexandria Wells, he respected the deadly but cool commander from Arin, but he would give her a hard time.
However this time she was bringing in the big guns, three trump card units, it would take a while to see who would be giving who a hard time.
Commander Wright thought for a few seconds before he continued to talk.
"Tell the northern front to abandon positions D, E and F, we seem to be approaching the final battle. I need them back to reinforce."

BOOOM!!
"Amber be careful! You don't want to die, do you?"
A man shouted towards a woman who was fighting two people at the same time.
"What are you talking about Quinn? Do I look I am going to die."
The woman asked with a bit of annoyance in her voice, but her situation looked severe.
"I know you are tired about this slow progression, but I would feel better if you did not endanger your life."
BOOM! BOOM!
Before the woman could talk some more she was forced to defend against two attacks by shielding from one attack and dodging another one.
"Ok, I know I might have taken this long enough."
After saying that, the demeanor of the woman became very serious as mana accumulated around her as she casted tier 2 combination spell, [Myriad Great Killer Stars].
Giant spheres made of fire and light elements were summoned around Amber.
It looked like suns were flouting around, the suns had different colours like the stars in the sky thus the myriad in the name of the spell.
The spell were launched towards her enemies, these individuals tried to defend by using different spells.
Those spells only stopped the myriad stars for a few milliseconds before they killed the enemy mages.
"Did I have to lecture you so you could do that?"
Quinn came to Amber with annoyed look, where he was coming from was a giant pool of black water that was corroding the earth like it was acid.
It was possible to see a hand in the black pool that had yet to dissolve.
BOOOOMM!
However before Amber could answer, a signal spell exploded in the atmosphere.
"Huh…? The Ruhenese are retreating?"
Amber asked with an inquisitive face.
"If I am correct, Arin is ready for the next round. The real battle is what will happen in the final defence line."
