I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 427 - 415: Open Conspiracy, Lynn Who Has Godlike Foresight

Just as the group wondered what secrets lurked in the fire oil, more Divine Arts cavalry came continuously, reporting the information they had gathered within the city.

As the captain of the guard had said, there were no enemies left in the entire town; all the wizards had withdrawn, and the defense was managed by temporarily summoned guards.

It was said that each of them was cursed with an evil spell that would cause their bodies to ooze pus and rot to death if they disobeyed orders!

The so-called tight defense and heavy troop presence were all illusions!

The wizards had relied on an empty city as a deterrent, intending to delay them here, and had only built a solid high wall facing Fire Oil City, while the other three sides were merely for show.

"No wonder..." Joshua said coldly, he had previously felt that reinforcing all four walls within a few short hours was impossible.

Apparently, they had all been fooled!

"Wait, if all the wizards already fled, then what was the magic power I sensed?" Lucia paused, suddenly realizing this point.

Before entering the city, she had felt a strong fluctuation of magic power, which had made her believe that the wizards were still gathered in the town.

That must be in the direction of the manor!

"Now, immediately, call back everyone heading to the manor!" Lucia felt a warning in her heart, and without waiting for the bishops to act, she closed her eyes and used divine arts to send a message.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late, just as her words fell, a violent explosion suddenly resounded, and thick flames erupted from the direction of the manor...

This was the gift Lynn had left them before leaving—large amounts of gunpowder!

The manor was equipped with magic sensitive to vibration, set to explode three minutes after detecting a large number of people entering!

From the intensity of the explosion, the fate of the elite troops sent to search the manor looked grim!

Joshua's expression was horribly grim, and Lucia's face was as cold as ice.

"They left just over ten minutes ago, taking more than eight thousand men and heavy artillery with them; they couldn't maintain full speed, we might still catch up if we hurry..." Riddle whispered in reminder.

Moreover, fire oil was extremely important to the empire, so there were still many people stationed at the mining site, which should be able to delay them for a while.

Seeing Riddle suggest leaving, the captain of the guards burst into tears, crying out. "Judgement Chief, Holy Maiden, I am the most devout believer of the Lord, I go to church every week to listen to the teachings, please, I beg you, save me!"

Joshua stepped forward abruptly, placing his hand on the captain of the guard's head, and after three to five seconds, his face looked even uglier. "Fool, there's no curse on you!"

The captain of the guard was completely dumbfounded, yet he had clearly seen a colleague who defied the wizard's order dissolve into a pool of blood amidst screams of pain.

"That was just an illusion technique, a small trick by the wizards to scare you," Joshua explained briefly, and without caring whether the other party believed him or not, he turned to Lucia, requesting to immediately chase after and eradicate these despicable wizards!

Once they got hold of the fire oil, other complications could arise again.

"Riddle, you will lead as the vanguard to intercept those airships; there's no need for a forceful attack, just slowing them down will be enough!" Lucia suppressed her anger and commanded in a deep voice.

"I understand, Holy Maiden, I will not let those wizards take away the empire's weapons," Riddle responded resolutely, kneeling on one knee.

A massive Molten Lava Fire Dragon had descended from the heavens, its heavy body causing the hard bricks and stones to collapse beneath it. Its crimson eyes fixated on the bishops in front of it, filled with hatred, yet its body and consciousness were still firmly bound by the Divine Arts.

After applying a protective Divine Art on himself, Riddle leapt onto the dragon's back alone and took control, soaring into the sky.

Following behind him were hundreds of Griffin Knights!

…

Meanwhile, Ryder and others hiding outside the city also saw the giant dragon as it launched into the air.

"Tsk tsk, what kind of beast is this, so large?" Ham exclaimed in amazement.

"Could it be a dragon?" Ryder said uncertainly, having never seen a dragon, but the creature was commonly mentioned in operas and by minstrels, synonymous with ferocity and power!

"It seems that Lord Lynn was right, they really went after it!" Ryder admired as he watched the punitive force that had just stormed into the city, then, in an instant, swept out again heading north.

This was exactly as Lynn had anticipated!

"Shall we move now?" Ham rubbed his hands together, saying excitedly.

"No, wait a bit longer," Ryder shook his head and spoke cautiously, "Let's wait for them to go further away. For now, let's just send a message!"

"Trouble you then, Lord Anthony!" Ryder turned his head to look at Anthony standing beside him.

The latter nodded, closed his eyes, and manipulated the surrounding electromagnetic field to send out the electromagnetic signal!

Since the airship had only been in the air for about twenty minutes and wasn't too far away, they didn't even need to use a relay station, and the speed of transmission was extremely fast.

The moment after Anthony cast his spell, Lynn and others on the airship had already received the message.

"Very well, now that they have followed, the battlefield shall be determined by us!" Harrov beside him lifted the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Previously, they had been racking their brains thinking how to deliberately draw the enemy out to provide a suitable location for testing new magic.

However, Lynn had proposed another approach, that is, to target a location that the opponent would inevitably defend!

Fire Oil was the perfect target!

If they showed strong desire for it, the church would not be able to sit by and let them succeed. They were bound to follow!

It was an overt scheme!

Moreover, they had left a 'little gift' in the city. If all was going well, the enemy must already be furious, even to the point of losing their rationale, right?

After being tricked several times in a row, who wouldn't be furious enough to fight desperately!

"It's a pity that it's still a bit too fast; we didn't have time to make more arrangements, otherwise it should have been foolproof!" Lynn said somewhat helplessly.

According to his previous estimate, the church had just suffered casualties of thousands of people, and even in their eagerness, they were supposed to take half a day to regroup, planning to launch an attack only the next morning. But their actions were clearly much faster than he had anticipated…
