[9:32 PM, February 18, 134827, AP]
You could see the battleground was a sprawling expanse of charred earth and twisted metal, punctuated by the eerie glow of arcane runes etched into the ground. The sky crackled with bursts of energy as futuristic soldiers, clad in sleek, advanced exosuits, clashed with their equally advanced foes.
The soldiers moved with uncanny precision, each step synchronized with the pulsing rhythm of their suits. Their helmets displayed vital information in a heads-up display, overlaying the grim reality before them with tactical data. The air was filled with a constant hum of energy, punctuated by the crackling of high-powered weapons charging for another barrage.
Arcane spells arced through the air, leaving trails of neon light in their wake. Explosions erupted like twisted fireworks, each detonation sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield. The ground shook, scattering plumes of dirt and debris into the air, as if the very earth itself cried out in protest.
Rivers of blood mingled with the rain, creating a morbid tapestry of crimson mud. The soldiers fought with a determination born of desperation, each knowing that victory meant survival while defeat meant annihilation. The once-pristine landscape had become a nightmarish tableau of destruction.
"Soldier report" Crown said to the soldier beside her as she created a barrier to block the incoming spells incoming at their position. As it hit the barrier, creating a huge shockwave and creating a huge dust of smoke around their area, on the outside of the barrier there was a huge circular pattern spell as mana condensed spells flew out of the spell, hitting the person who tried to kill them just now.
"The battlefield is in shambles. Our communications are destroyed, and our soldiers are thinly spread out. We are forced to resort to guerrilla tactics. We need your orders, your Majesty" the soldier said as another explosion hit the barrier that Crown had created as another spell of highly condensed mana flew out again to hit the enemy who tried to shoot them just now, killing the enemy as the condensed mana pierced him like a porcupine, making the other soldiers who saw this feel chill.
"Their position—what about the position of our soldiers and our enemy soldiers? I need to know before I can give you orders" Crown said as she asked the soldier about the information about the position of every soldier and enemy soldier on the battlefield.
As the urgency in Crown's voice resonated, the soldier's fingers flew over the controls in his helmet. He rifled through the digital files, his training kicking in as he swiftly located the crucial information. With a surge of focused mana, he projected the map before Crown, with red markers denoting enemy positions and blue markers indicating their own troops.
Crown's eyes narrowed in concentration as she absorbed the tactical layout. Swiftly, her mind wove together a plan, utilizing every available advantage. With a flourish of her hand, she summoned her own wellspring of mana, projecting her formulated strategy into the air and creating a detailed holographic representation.
"Take a picture of this and dispatch it to every available soldier immediately," Crown commanded with steely determination.
"Understood, Your Majesty," the soldier responded crisply, already preparing to carry out the order.
Just as the soldier prepared to send the crucial information, the radio crackled to life. The voice of General Lowski, seasoned and unflinching, and the person who said that the ruler of their enemy, echoed through the channel, delivering news that sent a ripple of concern through the tense atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, this is General Lowski. We have currently confirmed reports that they are bringing mana-infused ray cannons" Lowski's voice resounded through the radio waves, carrying the weight of the impending threat. The gravity of the situation hung in the air, urging Crown to adjust her plan. With this, the newfound intelligence had been disseminated, its details now etched into the minds of their soldiers. Crown, with a calm but commanding presence, addressed General Lowski, her unwavering gaze focused on the task at hand.
"Do you have the plan that I spread out to our soldiers?" Crown inquired, her voice carrying the weight of expectation.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I have it in my possession" General Lowski responded, his voice a steady affirmation of his readiness to execute the strategy.
"Good. Follow through with those plans, General. I will personally handle the mana-infused ray cannons" Crown declared. The gravity of the task did not escape her, but she knew that this was a moment that demanded her direct intervention.
"Your Majesty, that's a dangerous undertaking," General Lowski said as he couldn't help but voice his concern. He cautioned, his loyalty to the Crown evident in the worry etched across his face.
"No 'buts' General. This is an order. I expect every one of you to follow my instructions as laid out in the plan I sent you" Crown asserted, leaving no room for more argument.
"Understood. I wish you a successful endeavor, Your Majesty. Happy hunting" General Lowski responded, his respect for Crown evident in his farewell.
"Happy hunting to you as well, General Lowski" Crown acknowledged, a note of gratitude underlying her words. With a final nod, she turned, her thoughts focused on the task ahead. She knew the risks, but this was a battle that required her personal touch.
Crown then suddenly appears above the mana-infused ray cannons. Crown surveyed the battlefield from her elevated vantage point above the mana-infused ray cannons. They were heavily defended, a formidable obstacle that demanded a meticulous approach. Her mind raced, formulating a plan to neutralize this dangerous threat.
"Now, how to destroy it..." Crown mused aloud, her voice a low, contemplative murmur that seemed to blend with the hum of magic in the air.
"Maybe I could make the ammunition explode... No, that would attract attention to me, and they would find me." Crown eyes narrowed as she studied the cannons and their protective perimeter. Her keen strategic mind whirred, calculating the best course of action. Suddenly, her gaze shifted, and a glint of intrigue flashed across her eyes.
"Hmm? Oh, it looks like I have luck on my side today," Crown remarked with a wry smile. Her attention was drawn to a figure on the enemy side, unmistakably the ruler of their adversaries. A surge of determination coursed through her veins, fueled by the sight of the person who held the key to their enemy's strategy.
As she observed from her concealed position, a plan began to take shape. It was daring, relying on a blend of stealth, cunning, and the element of surprise. Crown knew that this was a pivotal moment, one where her choices could tip the scales of the battle in their favor. With a final, focused breath, she steeled herself for the challenge ahead, ready to put her plan into motion.
"It's showtime" Crown declared with a steely resolve, her voice a determined whisper that barely betrayed the surge of power within her. With a focused mind and a controlled breath, she channeled her mana, compressing it into a concentrated force. The very ground beneath her seemed to quiver with the sheer potency of her magic.
In a meticulously rehearsed sequence, she repeated the process, each compression building on the last until the air itself seemed charged with a space-bending energy.
Then, in a sudden, decisive motion, Crown snapped her hands together, releasing the pent-up energy in a cataclysmic eruption. The condensed mana surged forth, manifesting as a towering pillar of pure, swirling black void. Its power was awe-inspiring, a force of nature unleashed upon the battlefield.
The shockwave rippled outward, a maelstrom of raw, unbridled magic. In its wake, the landscape was transformed, and those unfortunate enough to be caught within its grasp faced an inevitable, devastating fate. Most were consumed, their forms disintegrating into ethereal wisps, leaving only a haunting echo of their existence.
Through the swirling aftermath, a handful emerged, battered and disoriented but miraculously alive. Among them, the ruler of the enemy forces stood, a testament to their resilience and perhaps a stroke of fate.
Crown observed the aftermath, her breath still stable and her gaze unwavering. The loss is not much, as she still had 93% of her mana left, but the impact was undeniable. The battlefield now bore the scars of her formidable display of power, a stark reminder of the forces at play.
With a weary satisfaction, she turned her attention to the surviving remnants, prepared to seize the momentum she had gained and press forward in their pursuit of victory. The echoes of her devastating act of magic reverberated through the air, as the effects even affected countless universes in the process of her spell.
"She's here, open fire!" As the enemy ruler's panicked command echoed across the chaotic battlefield, a volley of spells erupted from their soldiers. Arcane energy crackled through the air, hurtling towards Crown with deadly intent. Despite the barrage of spells coming at her, Crown just raised her hands, a shimmering barrier forming before her.
The onslaught of spells struck the barrier, only to be instantly repelled. They arced back towards their origin, finding their mark amidst the ranks of the enemy soldiers. The air was filled with a cacophony of anguished screams as the spells turned against their casters, bringing swift and merciless demise.
Crown's eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on the now defenseless enemy ruler. He stood alone amidst the chaos, a stark figure of desperation and defiance. With a lethal grace, she advanced, her movements deliberate and assured.
"Die!" The ruler shouted at Crown, his voice a mixture of fury and desperation. He summoned Mana, a swirling vortex of power coalescing in his hands, and hurled it towards Crown with a searing intensity.
Seeing his attack thwarted, the ruler's jaw clenched in frustration. Yet, even in the face of this setback, he refused to yield. There was a regal fire in his eyes, as he stood tall and resolute, a ruler through and through, undeterred by the relentless onslaught before him.
"Goodbye, foolish ruler" Crown's voice was a cold, cutting edge, slicing through the turmoil.
"You are not a worthy adversary, for my people suffer under the war you created" In a swift, fluid motion, Crown's hands moved like the strike of a deadly serpent. Her fingers found their mark, severing the ruler's connection to life in a single, decisive stroke. His head fell, a testament to the finality of Crown's judgment.
The battlefield fell momentarily silent, as if the very earth held its breath in witness to the pivotal moment. Crown stood, her gaze unwavering, the weight of her actions settling upon her shoulders. She knew that this victory came at a cost, but it was a price she was willing to pay to free her people from the shackles of oppression.
As the dust began to settle, Crown turned, her gaze shifting towards the surviving remnants of the enemy forces. The message was clear: the war that had affected their lives for so long had come to an end, and a new era was on the horizon. With a determined resolve, she prepared to lead her people again towards a future where they could all recover from the war.
