Chapter 17 - Archmage

'Commander to your majesty, the dragons are ready'

'Start the operation'

Currently I was in a cafeteria with Alma.

-Let's go out, we can see a show-

We headed towards the terrace of the building and saw the horizon-

-Here they come-

Dozens of small dots appeared in the distance, with each passing second they grew larger.

Shield out.

With magic I undid the shield that surrounded the city.

People started noticing the dragons above, getting scared.

The city wizards tried to reactivate the shield but they couldn't, in a desperate attempt they also threw magic at the dragons, but they flew so high that it was impossible for the magic to reach them.

When the dragons were above the city they began to drop their charge.

Gunpowder!

Hundreds of barrels of gunpowder began to fall on the city.

BOM

The moment they hit the ground they began to explode, shooting small pieces of metal and fiery slime in all directions.

This is my strategy, an indiscriminate bombardment.

Gunpowder already existed in this world, but its use was limited, not to say that it was not used.

So I put it to use.

As for the metal and slime, it was an idea I thought of to make it more dangerous.

By the way, the slime was taken from, worth the redundancy, the slime monster, more specifically its fire variant.

Chaos broke out in the city, buildings were burning, people were running trying to save themselves, those unfortunate enough to come into contact with the slime were burning to death.

'Dwarves, start'

Together with Alma I became invisible and started to fly, then I looked towards the west.

In a few seconds hundreds of dwarves came out with strange machines.

Behold, my prototype tank!

They were made entirely of metal, with wheels on the bottom and a thick moving metal pole in front, that's where the ammunition came from.

Yes yes, the only thing similar to a real tank is the shape, the operation is completely different.

Firstly, this tank moved with the magic of demons, secondly, it fired thanks to the use of the sinews of some minotaurs.

But leaving those details is a tank!

It is also the only thing that the dwarves could create with my description.

The tanks began to reload the ammunition, which were large iron balls.

Fire!

The iron balls shot out at high speed, aided by the wind magic of the demons, they managed to hit the wall.

Pam

As if it were a toy, the wall began to crumble little by little.

At that moment the sun went down.

Just in time.

'Vampires, attack!'

More than five hundred vampires emerged from the forest and, like snakes, avoided the humans' magic and managed to infiltrate the city, turning everyone they bit into ghouls.

The fire, combined with the attacks of the vampires, plus the continuous bombardment of the dwarves, turned everything into chaos, then add to that that I had cut communications...

Hahaha

The place became quieter and quieter, most of the humans had fled to the south on foot or using the boats to the east.

While I thought the battle was won, something happened that was out of my plans.

-Damn demons, what do they think they do-

A voice sounded throughout the city and a great gust of wind came from the middle of the city towards the dragons, turning some of them into minced meat.

That power... an archmage.

It can't be possible, according to the information there was no archmage in the city.

Looks like I'll have to intervene.

-Stay here-

I left Alma with a shield and headed towards where the voice came from.
