Unless the marshal personally joined the war and fought, they could drag the war as long as they could.
In the end, the Téssera alliance would still win with the barrier's help.
The intruders also had the same feelings as the Téssera Alliance's members. They had a vague premonition that their attack would fail.
They had been attacking the island for an hour, but not even a single member could bypass the barrier and landed on the island.
It was truly something out of logic.
But it did happen because a certain someone is so rich that he could continuously supply energy crystals to sustain the man-made barrier.
Jake's spatial storage wasn't your usual spatial storage. Others only had a storage as big as a small room, or even smaller, maybe only as big as a backpack.
But Jake's spatial storage was as big as a house. He even stored vehicles and tons of merchandise instead.
Plus, no one could access his spatial storage without his permission because the storage only recognised his soul.
Not to mention that if he died, the only person who could access the storage would be his mother because he recorded his mom's soul aura as an emergency measure.
With spatial storage created meticulously by a fairy of space herself and a renowned dwarf, Jake's spatial storage was one of the best in the world.
It wasn't shocking that he carried tons of energy crystals, starting from one-coloured crystal to seven-coloured.
With his supply, the barrier that protected an island as big as a small country in Ainsley's previous world didn't even budge under an hour barrage!
The enemies were getting frustrated. One of the team commanders directly contacted the Marshal and protested.
"Marshal, do something! The barrier regeneration is just too fast, ah! We can't even land an attack properly!"
The navy was even more miserable because they had to fight some wild sea monsters if they were unlucky.
There were fewer monsters closer to the coastal area, but a certain someone's beguiling skill also prevented them from reaching the island.
It's too frustrating! They had close to 5000 people, and yet their number kept dwindling while their target didn't suffer any casualties so far.
Annoying!
The marshal furrowed his eyebrows at the report and was silent for a few seconds before sighing.
"Alright. Let's take out the anti-barrier machine to intercept the barrier-maker machine."
The marshal's words shocked the commanders who heard his words.
A machine that could prevent a barrier-maker machine from producing barriers? If we have that kind of tools, why didn't you use it sooner?!
The marshal seemed to know the commanders' thoughts and calmly explained.
"We can only use the machine for two hours. Let's use it when it's nearing midnight when the enemy is already exhausted."
He didn't believe that these oldies could keep fighting for more than twelve hours straight.
They had been fighting non-stop for an hour, and the sun hadn't even come out of the horizon.
The day was still long. He could be patient to drag out the war even longer.
Even when they didn't have any Island to take a break, they had enough rations and supplies to last for two days.
That way, they didn't need their backers to send supplies through ships and risked getting their supplies intercepted.
The old marshal was really experienced in any kind of war.
He knew what their target might do to them, and intercepting the supplies was one of the possible tactics.
Thus, his preparation was thorough. He even prepared many ships not far from the battlefield as hospitals and place for the soldiers to rest.
Of course, they would still be harassed by the wild sea monsters from time to time, but he didn't think it would be so troublesome.
His people were all elites and handling one or two sea monsters wasn't difficult.
They could even eat the sea monsters to replenish their energy or feed the prey to their own tamed monsters.
Since the marshal had already made his command, the commanders obediently followed the marshal's tactic.
Now, their goal wasn't to break the barrier but to keep the big bosses busy.
They intended to harass the big bosses, and they didn't mind sacrificing quite a lot of solo ability users with little importance.
The government had always been this ruthless. Not to mention the nobles.
However, the Aretha Family didn't want to sacrifice their people because they didn't have unlimited talents like the nobles and the government.
No matter what, being a mafia was considered 'bad' in the eyes of normal ability users.
Thus, most ability users joined guilds, the noble, a.k.a the aristocrat families, or worked for the government.
Only those abandoned by the society defected to the mafia side and became 'bad' people.
Well, the marshal didn't mind the Aretha Family not wanting to sacrifice their people.
This alliance was only temporary, and since the other party was also a mafia family, the marshal didn't pay attention to them.
As long as the Aretha Family obediently followed his order and didn't make a mess, he didn't mind the Aretha Family acting cowardly and only wanted to reap the benefit later on.
The Aretha Family themselves only joined this alliance because they wanted some inheritance stones to build a new, profitable business.
It's all to lift their ruined image and go back to their unshakable position as the number one family among the 7 sacred families.
After Ainsley's curse created trouble for them, their family declined to the second rank among the 7 sacred families, and this alarmed them.
But if they could get the Inheritance Stone business, they would reclaim their throne once more!
