"What about Master Gao and Kildas?"
George thought for a moment and asked.
Mira shook her head:
"Kildas has gone to the Northern Continent and I can't get in touch with him. As for Master Gao, no one except the president knows his whereabouts."
However, Member Yajima has already replied to me, saying that they are having a meeting about this and will send someone over as soon as the meeting ends and a decision has been reached."
"Good, as long as we hold out, whether waiting for President Su to wake up or the Council of Evaluation to come, it will all be over."
George nodded.
Although none of Laxus, Master Gao, or Kildas could return, there is still a lot of hope.
Even if the Yoghmoths reacted slower, the Council of Evaluation might have made their arrest first.
"Alzaca and Biscack have returned."
At this point, Alzaca and Biscack, who had been taking Makarov to the Eastern Forest, returned to the Guild and reported on the situation with Makarov.
"Master Polusica said that it's serious for the president to suddenly lose their magic at this age, but she has already contacted Master Gao for help in recovering the lost magic."
"If everything goes well, the president can recover this afternoon."
"That's good news."
Everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief.
That's how it was, until noon, when everyone had just finished lunch and were resting. Suddenly, they were awakened by a loud noise coming from outside.
Rushing out of the guild to look outside, they saw a massive castle on an island-like structure above the large lake to the south of the guild. The castle was being carried towards the guild by eight giant metal spider legs.
And the emblem on the castle was unmistakably that of the ruler of the Yoghmoths.
"Everyone get ready, turn on all magical defense, and activate all magical barriers!"
Although shocked by the Yoghmoth ruler's moving castle, George still used the spell of amplification to bring everyone back to reality and execute the defense plan in an orderly manner.
Magical barriers were layered one on top of another above the guild, and the magical defenses spread out in a defensive formation in front of the guild after inputting magical power.
The moving castle opposite quickly came to a stop in front of the guild and stood vertically on the bottom of the lake, extending a huge gun barrel and began to gather terrifying magic.
"That Yoghmoth is truly wealthy!"
Watching the moving castle across from them and the massive magical cannon, George couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.
It's easy to imagine that a moving castle equipped with a magical crystal cannon would require an astronomical amount of money to construct.
"Reinforce defenses!"
Fortunately, George had considered this situation and issued a second command accordingly.
As the original magical barriers and defense items provided the initial protection, various mages with defensive spells began to cast their spells.
Firstly, Grey created a massive ice shield using his ice shaping abilities, followed by the construction of wooden walls, earthen walls, and others.
Finally, Elza summoned the strongest defense armor, Diamond Armor, and activated the Diamond Barrier as the last defense.
"Boom!"
The magic on the other side had been fully charged, and an extremely terrifying beam of pure magical energy shot towards Yawara's guild, aiming to directly kill the guild and all the mages.
"That magical crystal cannon is really perverted."
George watched as the energy beam first shattered all the magical barriers, then pierced through all the defenses composed of magical items, blowing up the ice shield, wooden walls, earthen walls, and other defenses.
In the end, at least half of the energy was left and struck the massive shield Elza was wielding.
The key point is that even with half the energy, the giant shield of Elza began to crack gradually.
"Repair to its original state!"
Standing behind Elza, he immediately raised his wand and used the repair spell.
Under the effect of the repair spell, the cracks on the giant shield immediately recovered to its original state, and then appeared again and were repaired. It repeated a few times until the magical energy cannon was depleted. By then, Elza's side neither consumed magic power nor damaged her armor.
"It's that cat again!"
At this time, Yosef in the moving castle saw that the first shot had no effect at all, and he immediately stood up from his seat in anger.
The sudden attack on all branches and the complete annihilation of all branch mages, making it impossible for them to come and help, had already left him half-dead.
He had not expected that the Magical Crystal Cannon, which had finally been converted to a three-element plus iron dragon mode, would not have any effect.
"If that's the case, then let me send you to hell."
The charging of the magical crystal cannon takes fifteen minutes, so in this time, he intended to send the opponent a small gift.
"Dark Yogmoth Soldier!"
Suddenly, a dense array of magic circles appeared around him, and numerous ghost soldiers flew out from the magic circles, attacking the mages in Yawara's guild.
With the attack of the ghost soldiers, the mages of Yawara could not calmly form a defense, and the next magical crystal cannon shot would completely destroy Yawara.
"We can't just sit back and do nothing! Natsu, come on, we'll work together to destroy that magical crystal cannon!"
Watching the massive number of ghost soldiers approach, while the magical crystal cannon entered its charging phase, George called over Natsu, who had been eagerly preparing for battle.
"The core of the magical crystal cannon is the mages providing the power. It's hard to destroy the magical crystal cannon without defeating the mages supplying the power."
At this moment, Milaja explained with a worried face.
George nodded:
"I know, but my method may be able to forcefully break the magical crystal cannon, or even the entire moving castle."
Waving his wand, blue flames reappeared, but this time they were not directly aimed at the Yoghmoth's moving castle, but rather at Natsu.
This is not the city of Eog, where the Yoghmoths reside, but rather the city of Magnolia, where Fairy Tail is located.
The flames cannot be controlled, and if released directly, they might burn down the guild and the city of Magnolia before destroying the opposing magical crystal cannon and moving castle.
So his goal was simple: to feed the cursed and special nature flames to Natsu, who could consume and utilize various types of fire, in order for Natsu to release them.
He had already tested this with Natsu separately while everyone was preparing the defenses, and the effect was very good.
Natsu, who had ingested the cursed flames, not only temporarily increased his magic power but also used his own techniques to release flames that carried the curse's attributes, which were completely under his control.
"Hahaha, my power is surging!"
Under George's continuous infusion of the cursed flames, Natsu's magical power kept rising, and he became more and more excited.
"Clear away those ghost soldiers first."
Seeing that the ghost soldiers had already flown above the guild, George temporarily stopped pouring the cursed flames into Natsu and ordered him.
Yosef's ghost soldiers had no tangible form and were imbued with dark death attributes, making them difficult for ordinary mages to handle. George's cursed flames, with their own curse characteristics, were just what was needed for a certain degree of containment.
"Fire Dragon Magic: Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
Natsu took a deep breath, placing his hands over his mouth. A blue flame magic circle appeared, and he spat out terrifying blue flames that covered the sky.
