Chapter 85 The Ghost Appears, Magic Cluster Cannon
The town's main road was shrouded in smoke and dust as the Magic Earth team marched in with great momentum, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.
Germain's face was tense as he walked at the front of the group.
The purple magical aura emanating from its body was fierce and oppressive, startling the residents of the buildings on both sides who quickly closed their doors and windows, fearing they might attract unnecessary trouble.
The Saber-Biting Tigers did not send out their entire force this time; only their elite troops followed Germain on the expedition. Minerva and the others, who were still children, were not among them.
It wasn't that Germain had a change of heart and couldn't bear to see the children involved in this battle between fairies and ghosts.
Those brats are just too weak; bringing them here would only embarrass Saberbite Tiger!
For Germain, this was a crucial battle to establish Saberbite's reputation.
Even if he were completely brainless, he could still realize that he had been used by Joseph.
There's no turning back once the arrow is released. Under the immense pressure of the Spectres, if you don't go down this path now, all that awaits you in the future is destruction.
Moreover, putting aside his personal grudges with Chase, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward.
If he could wipe out Fairy Tail in one fell swoop, Germain would become famous in Fiore and completely get rid of his reputation as the bottom-tier, third-rate guild leader!
From this perspective alone, Germain and Joseph are actually the same kind of people.
However, compared to the cunning Joseph, Germain's brain clearly has an extra chunk of muscle.
"This unsettling magic is kind of scary—"
At the guild entrance, newbie Lucy watched the approaching Magic Earth team and couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
This was the first time she had participated in such a large-scale conflict since joining the guild, and her reactions were just normal.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Even Chess and Erza can't compare to that level, let alone the old man!"
Natsu stepped forward to stand in front of Lucy, smiling and comforting her.
The others were equally fearless, and the belligerent type, Elfman, was even more eager to charge over and start fighting as soon as the chairman gave the order.
As for Chess, Mira, and Erza, they were in a state of extreme relaxation and had no intention of making a move. They simply watched as Sabertooth's team stopped a few meters away from them.
"It's nice to meet you again, Chairman Makarov."
Germain slowly lowered his arms, which he had been crossing over his chest, his voice muffled.
Makarov glanced at the other man casually, then said with a smile, "You brought people all the way to Magnolia to see me, is it to help us rebuild the guild, Germain—"
As a senior figure in the Fiore magical world, he has always been very tolerant of young people and is willing to give them the opportunity to get back on the right track.
Therefore, if Germain, who was being used, could understand the situation and wisely back down, he could let bygones be bygones.
"Please don't joke around."
"I'm not here to reminisce, much less to help you rebuild your guild, but rather—"
Germain's gaze sharpened, and the magical aura surrounding him instantly became incredibly violent, whipping up gusts of wind.
"Let's declare war on Fairy Tail!"
hum!
The moment the words were spoken, golden light flashed and the magic circle began to rotate.
A fist imbued with powerful magic descended from the sky, slamming into Germain's Saberbite Tiger squad.
Germain's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly mustered all his magical power and launched a counterattack.
Boom!
The giant fist crashed down, causing the entire street to tremble violently and billowing thick smoke.
As the unsettling noises gradually subsided, Lucy craned her neck to look ahead and was immediately startled, raising her hand to cover her mouth.
In the fist-shaped crater filled with rubble, the Saber-Biting Tiger squad lay sprawled out, incapacitated.
The arrogant Chairman Germain foamed at the mouth and fainted on the spot like a clown!
"I had been thinking about doing this since the last chairman's meeting."
Makarov calmly withdrew his outstretched arm, snorted coldly, and didn't even glance at Germain.
He holds grudges when it comes to anything involving children.
"Wow! As expected of the student council president!"
"How outrageous! The old man actually did it himself! I was hoping to burn that bastard's beard to ashes!"
"That's the power of the student council president! What a man!"
The Fairy Tail members cheered loudly, knowing Makarov's strength and not being surprised by the outcome.
"Just one punch, and he took down the guild master of a legitimate guild and a large number of elite mages?"
Lucy knew that Chairman Makarov was very strong, but no matter what, this was just too exaggerated!
"Hey! Lucy, our guild leader is one of the Ten Wizard Saints!" Happy raised his hand and said.
So, just how terrifying a monster is the Phantom Lord, who is also one of the Ten Wizard Saints?
Only now does Lucy truly understand the meaning of Erza's words last night, "When the Ten Wizard Saints go to war, the heavens and the earth will crumble."
Despite her worries, there was no fear on her face: everyone was there, and the final victory would surely belong to Fairy Tail!
"Don't worry, Natsu, you'll have your chance to shine later."
Makarov sighed softly, his expression gradually becoming serious and solemn. He looked at everyone and warned loudly, "..."
"Don't let your guard down, the real battle has just begun!"
Since Saberbite has appeared in Magnolia as a pretext for war, it means that Joseph, that brat, is really determined to start a full-scale war between the two guilds!
hum!hum!hum!
The massive tremors caused by the trampling of the giant object confirmed Makarov's conjecture.
Hearing the commotion, the Fairy Tail members turned to look and saw the Ghost Banner waving violently in the thin mist on the lake behind the guild.
A towering, colossal castle loomed in the distance, slowly approaching!
Six enormous magical mechanical legs slammed heavily onto the lake surface, creating surging waves that crashed against the shore, causing the already precarious guild to collapse slightly.
Led by Makarov, the group hurriedly reached the shore.
"That's the headquarters of the Phantom Lords, a mobile fortress, six-legged walkers!"
Mira described the enormous creature that stood on the small island.
Almost at the same time, the castle window located in the very center of the six-legged walker slowly opened.
The mechanical sound of gears turning filled the air as a massive magical cannon barrel extended from the window. High-concentration magical power converged wildly at the pitch-black muzzle, forming a terrifying black-purple energy vortex.
"Let's use this attack to say hello to those damned fairies."
Inside the command center, Joseph sat high in the main seat, expressionless, and issued the order: "Jupiter, the Magic Cluster Cannon, fire."
"That bastard Joseph, does he want to destroy Magnolia?!"
Makarov roared angrily, a golden halo appearing at his fingertips as he prepared to block the terrifying cannon shot.
"President, let me do it!"
Erza reached out and stopped him, not because she was forcing him, but because she wanted Makarov to conserve his magic as much as possible.
This was the best judgment she made based on the overall situation of the war.
