Chapter 1086: Fireworks in the Frosty Wind
"Principle of Fair Warfare?" Morgan Sunlight was taken aback.
He wasn't alone. Manina, who was observing the situation from headquarters, was also stunned.
Manina and Morgan Sunlight had never even considered this issue.
They knew the exchange students possessed the "Fissure Beam" technology, so they used it. Whether it violated the Principle of Fair Warfare never crossed their minds.
"But now that I think about it, it does seem to violate the Principle of Fair Warfare," Manina said to his companion, Rance.
"Your Majesty, I agree," Rance nodded. "This is, after all, technology from the Holy Silver Federation, far beyond our civilization's grasp. If the Earthlings had obtained such advanced technology from the Holy Silver Federation, we would certainly be upset."
Manina and Rance admitted they had overstepped, but across the battlefield, Morgan Sunlight tried to argue his way out of it.
"What Principle of Fair Warfare? This is a technology our Skrull exchange students have mastered. How is that unfair?"
"Ha." Cloud Shepherd crossed his arms and shook his head. "Whether it violates the Principle of Fair Warfare isn't up to you. It will be decided by the Hymn."
He turned to face the Xuanwu Node and shouted toward Su Yu's position, "Boss Ke, if you don't want our sacrifice to be in vain, remember to file a complaint against them!"
"Don't worry, I will," Su Yu said gravely from the ramparts of Xuanwu Node.
Although Su Yu's voice was not loud, it quickly spread across the entire battlefield.
At the same time, Su Yu instructed AI Blue Whale, "Blue Whale, inform Donna of this situation. Have her start the lawsuit against the Skrulls immediately."
"Understood," AI Blue Whale replied.
Su Yu and the other eighth-stage beings from Earth were closely monitoring the situation with Cloud Shepherd.
However, the battlefield was obscured by chaotic purple-black spiritual energy, spatial rifts, and a massive fleet of Skrull warships, making it difficult to see clearly.
Now, whether it was Su Yu, Chancellor Cao, Emperor Qin, or Zhong Feng, everyone felt helpless. Their plan had utterly failed, costing them eight high-ranking mages.
At least they now knew the Skrulls had a means to detect invisibility, and they could sue the Skrulls. Perhaps the sacrifice of Cloud Shepherd and his team wouldn't be in vain.
...
Morgan Sunlight was now extremely frustrated.
He had intended to mock and ridicule Cloud Shepherd, boosting his own side's morale.
But in just a few words, he seemed to have fallen into a disadvantage. This wouldn't do.
He decided not to give Cloud Shepherd another chance to speak, barking, "Go ahead and sue if you want. I believe the Hymn will give us a fair judgment. Everyone, attack! Eliminate these Earth vermin, and don't let my anti-invisibility array go to waste."
Morgan Sunlight had set up an anti-invisibility array in the Skrull base over a month ago. This array had successfully detected the presence of Cloud Shepherd and his team.
Originally, the array was meant to target Su Yu.
Morgan Sunlight knew that Su Yu often used the Invisibility Spell to infiltrate enemy territory and cause chaos. If the array had caught Su Yu, it would have been a significant achievement!
But Su Yu never came.
Instead, by a twist of fate, the array caught Cloud Shepherd and his group!
"A peak seventh-stage mage plus seven sixth-stage mages—this isn't a small catch at all!"
Morgan Sunlight consoled himself, leading the high-ranking mages around him to charge toward Cloud Shepherd.
...
Seeing the Skrull army rapidly approaching, the team, including Pastoral Symphony, knew their time was running out.
But they all knew one person had a chance to escape: their leader, Cloud Shepherd.
"President, you need to drink that divine potion now! It'll be too late if you wait any longer!" Pastoral Symphony urged using his psychic powers.
Cloud Shepherd had already told them about the divine invisibility potion on their way here, without any secrecy.
The seven 6th-Rank mages had no objections to Cloud Shepherd possessing the potion. After all, if he could escape, it would be a huge boon for humanity!
With the enemy closing in, it was time to use the potion.
Without much hesitation, Cloud Shepherd bit his lip, quickly pulled out the potion, and drank it in one gulp. At the same time, he cast Enhanced Invisibility.
Under the combined effects of Enhanced Invisibility and the potion, his body rapidly became invisible, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around him vanished.
"Don't worry, once the battle is over, I'll make sure to prioritize your resurrection. I swear on my honor!"
This was Cloud Shepherd's final mental message to the seven high-rank mages.
Then, his body completely disappeared without a trace.
Pastoral Symphony, Satou Karin, and the other six mages were suddenly invigorated.
Their invigoration wasn't due to Cloud Shepherd's mental message, but because they realized that fear was useless at this point. They might as well fight a glorious battle!
"Come on, Skrulls, taste my forbidden-level spell!" Suzuki Genri drank three of the highest-grade burst potions, activating all his burst skills and equipment. Layer upon layer of colorful auras enveloped his entire body.
With the massive attribute boost, he temporarily gained the ability to instantly cast a forbidden-level spell.
Prohibited: Ten Thousand Miles of Ice Prison—an ice spell nearly reaching the ultra-forbidden level—roared from the tip of his staff, turning the clear sky into solid ice.
The other mages also unleashed their maximum power at this critical moment.
They activated all their burst skills, used all their one-time boost items, and cast their most powerful spells toward the enemy's position.
The dazzling magical lights not only threatened the Skrulls but also provided the greatest protection for the now invisible Cloud Shepherd.
Everyone hoped he could escape successfully, reducing the losses for humanity.
The human mages displayed their full abilities, their magnificent efforts like fireworks blooming in the cold, icy wind.
But the Skrulls were not to be underestimated.
They were well-prepared for the desperate counterattack of the Blue Star humans.
Hayden Sunlight, leading three 7th-Rank cultivators, walked at the forefront. They combined their powers to create a gray defensive field, striving to block all the attacks from the seven Blue Star mages.
The seven Blue Star mages were still too weak.
Despite their best efforts to unleash maximum damage, their rank was a significant limitation.
The gap between 6th-Rank and 7th-Rank was too vast to be bridged by a few potions, pieces of equipment, or items.
Under the tight defense of the four 7th-Rank Skrull cultivators, the Blue Star mages failed to achieve significant results.
Apart from a few kills, they didn't cause much damage to the Skrull army.
