Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Chapter342-Submit to Me!
Seeing Leslie exchange glances with Owen at a time like this only fueled the Dark Elf Queen’s anger. She waved her hand sharply.

“Attack! Leave no one alive… except Owen!”

With her icy command, the dark elf army, already poised for battle, swooped down towards their enemies.

Stanley was just about to mobilize the stationed army when Owen’s voice rang out across the battlefield.

“Today is the day to prove your progress over the past ten years! Attack! Leave no one alive!”

At Owen’s command, everyone felt the ground tremble as if a massive force was approaching.

The dark elves, who had just begun their descent, suddenly sensed danger and veered off course.

They narrowly avoided blinding beams of light that streaked through the air, leaving searing black marks in their wake.

They had no doubt that, had they moved any slower, these beams would have pierced them, obliterating them instantly.

The beams had appeared within seconds, without any detectable magic incantation or charging process, which was highly unusual. T

ypically, grandmaster-tier or sage-tier mages would need to chant spells to unleash such powerful attacks.

But here, there was no incantation—just raw, relentless strikes, giving the dark elves a sense of foreboding.

As they watched these strange mages approach, their confusion grew.

Each mage wore a unique exoskeleton apparatus, looking like something out of a futuristic magic-tech novel.

“The Emperor commands: the dark elf clan, as Celestial’s lapdogs, are to be exterminated without mercy!”

At the forefront of the exoskeleton-clad mages was the president of the White Tower Tech Guild, wearing a monocle and a particularly elaborate exoskeleton, making him look bulky but moving with unexpected agility.

Without much mana, he unleashed a devastating magical attack.

Those initial light beams, developed by the White Tower Tech Guild, required only minimal mana to produce energy akin to nuclear fission—powerful enough to threaten even god-tier mages.

Following the president’s command, the exoskeleton-equipped mages roared, charging at the dark elves with fierce momentum.

Over the past decade, they had made great strides in technology with Owen’s support. Once mere theories, these weapons were now real and ready for battle.

For many, this was their first chance to showcase their work, and they were eager to prove themselves to the Emperor.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

While the dark elves eyed the White Tower Tech Guild members warily, missiles shot out from the exoskeletons, targeting them.

The guild had specifically researched the dark elves, who were known for their speed and sharp magical attacks.

The light beams and missiles were designed to overwhelm them, keeping them constantly on the defensive.

Though battle-hardened, the dark elves were at a loss against the unfamiliar missile attacks.

The missiles emitted faint mana waves, barely detectable, yet instinctively made the elves feel danger.

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosions erupted as missiles neared the dark elves, releasing chaotic mana waves and scattering golden crystal shards.

These sharp fragments slashed through the air, leaving jagged cracks that radiated a chilling aura.

Some dark elves were blown backward by the shockwave, and even those who managed to resist were wounded by the shards.

The shards also released a toxic gas that instantly weakened their magic, leaving them paralyzed on the ground.

“Emperor, as per your instructions, we have focused our research on large-scale, long-range weapons,” a White Tower Tech Guild researcher standing beside Owen said excitedly, adjusting his thick glasses. “The plasma beams we deployed earlier can injure non-god-tier mages from kilometers away. The recent missile barrage can severely harm god-tier mages, and with the addition of antimagic crystals, they have a strong suppressive effect on mana.”

He spoke with pride.

Many mages had previously dismissed technology, considering it insignificant compared to magic.

Yet, with the Emperor’s support, technology had begun to shine on the battlefield.

The researcher was confident that their guild’s status would soar, not just within the Azure Kingdom but throughout the world.

Owen nodded in satisfaction.

Though he knew technological weapons could rival magic, he was unsure if their development had progressed enough to create truly formidable weapons.

But now, seeing the White Tower Tech Guild’s results, he felt reassured.

These terrifying magic-tech weapons left the elite dark elves caught off guard and struggling.

After the first wave of missile fire, the dark elves had suffered significant losses.

Out of their original million-strong force, only about half remained, glaring defiantly at the White Tower Tech Guild’s army.

This devastating loss in such a short encounter was unprecedented and a severe blow to their morale.

“Their strange attacks have stopped. Charge! Avenge our sisters!”

The dark elf commander, her face dark with rage, led the charge towards the White Tower Tech Guild forces, determined to annihilate them.

She knew these mages weren’t individually strong, mostly at the grandmaster-tier level, far below her warriors in power.

If they closed the distance, they could easily wipe them out.

Now that she understood the White Tower Tech Guild’s tactics, she saw them as a threat only from afar.

Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed across the battlefield. “The Emperor commands the dark elves be eradicated!”

At that moment, massive figures rose from the ground, emerging onto the battlefield—the Moss Giants had arrived!

Watching the White Tower Tech Guild’s performance and seeing Owen’s approval, they knew it was now their turn to clean up the remnants.

The Moss Giants, each wearing a specialized energy pack, charged towards the dark elves, their enormous strides shaking the earth.

Ramps of earth rose to meet them, forming steps that propelled them into the air, bringing them face-to-face with the dark elves.

The Moss Giants, renowned for their unmatched strength and resilience, lacked agility, but with the help of technological enhancements, they unleashed their elemental power with precision, compensating for their lack of speed.

The dark elves, shocked by the giants’ explosive power, launched counterattacks, but these attacks dissipated against the giants’ stone-clad bodies, devoured by their natural affinity with earth elements, causing no harm at all.

Watching the Azure Kingdom’s army tear through the dark elf forces with relentless power, the Dark Elf Queen’s face darkened. She had once held a proud confidence, certain of victory.

After all, the dark elves’ talents and strength far exceeded that of humans, overwhelming most mages.
