The attack that came this time didn't come from the Daemon of Calamity. But from the Ogres Kingdom.

They are creatures with green skin and enlarged bellies. Even though some of them have thin bodies, their stomachs are still enlarged. Creating an appearance that is even more disturbing to look at.

They were all lined up with so many in numbers. One hundred thousand and more Ogres marched in a large army.

Even though they weren't creatures that mastered top-level magic, they were smart enough to use weapons of war such as catapults and battering rams.

Unfortunately, the Elf palace was not only protected by thick metal gates and strong walls. The palace is also equipped with a magic shield that can counter any attack that invades the palace.

The Ogres still hadn't attacked because they knew about it. They were still waiting for the right timing to launch their big attack.

An Ogre with two pairs of fangs sticking out from above and below its jaws walked to the front of the line. His eyes are red. Not the same as the other Ogres.

He stared vengefully at the towering Elf palace in front of him. The palace stood proudly like an arrogant ruler during the chaos that ensued.

The Igre could see a flash of a transparent veil covering the entire palace. It was a Magic shield that the Elves were proud of.

They were so confident in the magic shield that they didn't show any sight of appearance even when hundreds of thousands of Ogre soldiers were lined up in front of their front door.

"(How much longer this is, Commander?)" An Ogre asked from behind him. His voice sounded impatient.

The Ogre commander turned his head towards all his soldiers. They all also showed the same facial expression. They wanted to immediately swing their swords and clubs to crush the heads of the Elves and also thrust the spears into the hearts of the arrogant Elves.

"(Calm down. Let's wait,)" The commander replied.

The Ogre let out a protesting sound that sounded like the growl of a violent beast. But he didn't show any uproar any longer. Instead, he returned to the back to regroup with the other Ogres. Waiting again with a burning chest full of anger.

Suddenly from the top of the wall shot hundreds of thousands of arrows with glowing tips toward them.

The Ogres were taken aback because they thought the Elves wouldn't begin their attacks.

The Elves should feel confident in their magic shields and no longer care about launching attacks. But why was there now a rain of arrows heading their way?

"(SHIELD!)" the Ogre commander ordered.

The Ogres immediately raised their shields or took cover in any way possible.

The glowing arrows were shrouded in Magic which of course would cause a different effect when hitting the enemy. When the arrows finally landed, an explosion was created and threw the shield the Ogres used for cover.

'BOOM!'

'BOOM!'

'BOOM!'

Explosions sounded successively in the middle of the army. All the Ogres screamed and moved wildly to dodge the arrows.

Some of the Ogres were able to use Magic. They put forth their utmost effort to create their own Magic shield to protect their comrades.

The magic shield issued by the Ogre Shaman managed to withstand several arrows. But they still couldn't hold back all the arrows fired from up there.

Some arrows still escape from the Magic shield they are creating.

The troops that were originally so many were cut down quite a lot. But even so, their numbers were still quite extraordinary.

The arrows from the top of the wall kept coming. But with the Ogres already prepared with their Magic shields, the attack took fewer casualties than before.

It wasn't long before the Ogre commander noticed that the transparent veil that surrounded the entire palace was starting to break apart and crumble slowly.

The Ogre commander's bloodshot eyes began to blaze with rage and extreme bloodlust.

"(It's the time!)" he said.

~~~

Inside the palace, the situation became very chaotic. The magic shield protecting this castle suddenly broke and started to disappear.

The frightened Elves watched the transparent dome veil slowly begin to crumble before their eyes.

As soon as he saw the Magic Shield begin to crumble, Saeldir ran towards the room that contained the core of the Magic Shield some that protected the castle. He comes with two other Elf Mages.

He didn't even bother to knock and went straight to open the big double doors.

When the three of them inside, they saw a very bad sight. This was probably the worst sight they had ever seen in their entire life while in this palace.

The core of the Magic shield protecting the palace is a white sphere. Its diameter was thirty centimeters and it floated on top of a place of clear marble.

But now the sphere can no longer function because it has been split into two parts and is lying on the floor.

Saeldir cursed and ran towards the sphere.

How could something split this sphere? There shouldn't be anyone or anything that can split it. As the core of the Magic Shield, of course, the barrier around this sphere is no joke.

But now not only could the culprit penetrate the barrier of this sphere, but they could also split it in two.

"(How can that be…)" one of the two Elves behind Saeldir was unable to finish his words.

"(Order the warriors to prepare for war! Say that the core of the Magic shield has been damaged! Also, prepare an evacuation for Princess Aurdis,)" Saeldir ordered the two Elves behind him.

The two of them immediately rushed out of the room.

"(What exactly happened?)" Saeldir muttered as he stared at the split sphere in front of him.

His eyes showed a very clear fear. Saeldir knew how powerful this sphere was. Once he found out that someone could split this sphere, how could he not be afraid?
