The Hextech Gate can transmit people to a designated location with extreme precision, and the transmission distance and number of transmissions depend entirely on the amount of magic power inputted.
This was one of the few inanimate but extremely useful Summoned Beasts Ezreal discovered in Summoner's Rift.
In Summoner's Rift, besides wild monsters, there were also Rift Crystals and Hextech Gates.
There were only four Hextech Gates within the Rift, but this gate was essentially a type of spatial teleportation magic.
With Ezreal's astonishing magical talent, deconstructing the spatial magic principles of the Hextech Gate was child's play for him.
He had already learned this long-distance teleportation magic as early as when he had contracted the Red and Blue Buff.
However, Arcane Shift itself was also a type of teleportation magic, and its transmission distance likewise depended on the magic power expended.
Hextech Gate and Arcane Shift had some functional overlap.
Moreover, the magic power consumed by the Hextech Gate was exaggerated; with Ezreal's magic reserves, a hundred-kilometer teleportation was enough to completely deplete his magic.
Because of this, Ezreal rarely used this ability.
However, the current New World invasion war provided an opportunity for the Hextech Gate to make its debut.
Time rewinds to nine days ago, in the Fairy Tail Guild hall.
Laxus responded to Mira's question, "No country will meddle. The Fiore Kingdom has been neutral for nearly four hundred years, quietly developing while other countries waged war. Now, the Fiore Kingdom is already viewed with hostility by other countries."
Makarov looked at the crowd below, his brows tightly furrowed, and said with concern, "Ten days is far too long."
"The intelligence obtained from extracting soul memories won't be wrong."
"But the enemy won't allow the risk of intelligence leakage and continue to choose to return to the Rhine Basin for a frontal assault." Makarov's words instantly drew everyone's attention.
Mira's face was filled with worry, and she slowly said, "If the enemy changes their attack plan, we might fall into an extremely passive situation."
"They don't have many other choices." Mystogan shook his head gently; the prince from another world was, after all, more intelligent than those other fools who only acted on pure passion. "If they don't choose a frontal assault, the remaining options are to retreat, gather strength and wait for an opportunity, or to scatter their forces and gradually swallow the Fiore Kingdom."
Laxus said expressionlessly, "Newborn City has limited space, so the option of continuing to retreat and gather strength is impractical. With continuously increasing forces, they won't be able to bear the burden of food. And there isn't enough space to accommodate more Orc Soldiers. Five hundred thousand is definitely the limit Newborn City can accommodate."
Erza crossed her arms, resting them on her chin, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "Then, they only have one option left: to divide their forces and go to different places."
Makarov rubbed his throbbing temples, took a deep breath, and said heavily, "This isn't a good situation. There are as many as forty-nine large cities within the Kingdom, and countless smaller ones. We simply can't provide timely and accurate support."
"Moreover, we cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy will go all out and choose to launch a full-scale attack according to the original plan. We must also allocate forces to defend the Rhine Basin."
"Distributing forces to garrison various cities can barely be done in ten days, but the defensive strength will inevitably be very weak. The Rhine Basin needs to retain a portion of its combat power, which means the defensive forces that can be dispersed will be even weaker."
"This..." Erza frowned tightly, turning to look at her companions behind her, "Even if the Royal Army and all the Magician Guilds within the Kingdom unite, with such dispersed forces, falling into a disadvantage is inevitable."
Ezreal extended his left index finger, and the finger, covered in a metal gauntlet, gently tapped on the table.
Everyone's gaze instantly fell on the blond young man.
"I can solve this," Ezreal said with a confident smile. "I have mastered a spatial teleportation magic. As long as there are clear spatial coordinates, multiple people can be teleported over long distances."
"However, long-distance teleportation for multiple people will consume an extremely large amount of magic power, requiring at least several powerhouses of the Master's level to provide the magic to complete it."
Mira looked at Ezreal in surprise, asking eagerly, "EZ, you can even use spatial magic? I've never heard you mention it."
Ezreal shrugged, saying casually, "Spatial magic is extremely difficult. Strictly speaking, I only know spatial teleportation within spatial magic. I can only say I know one spatial magic skill."
Laxus stared intently at Ezreal, asking in a serious tone, "Spatial teleportation requires coordinates. Can you travel to all the cities within the Kingdom and set up coordinates in ten days?"
"Ten days is enough!" Ezreal affirmed without hesitation. "I have a Summoned Beast that masters Shadow Walk. Its flight speed is extremely fast. Moving six or seven hundred kilometers per hour at night is not a problem, and in extreme cases, one thousand kilometers per hour is not impossible."
Makarov nodded with satisfaction, "The Magic Council, the various Magician Guilds within the Kingdom, and the Royal Army, I have already sent messages to contact them. Everyone will gather in the Rhine Basin."
"If the enemy truly changes their plan, with Ezreal responsible for opening the teleportation gates, we can quickly transport our combat personnel to the battle locations!"
...Time returns to the present.
Ezreal's spatial teleportation gates always landed in city centers, while the teleportation gates for the Orc Warriors were at random locations.
For some distant locations, these combat personnel still had to run to find the enemy themselves.
The Mages, in groups, rushed to the battlefield ahead of the Royal Army.
After Ezreal entered the teleportation gate with his team members, Cana, Gray, and Elfman, they were very lucky; they appeared in the central park of Ultron City.
And a few of the Orcs' teleportation gates that opened in the city center were encountered by their team.
Ultron City was a border city of the Fiore Kingdom. The city was very large, and most of its buildings were made of blue stone, appearing heavy and ancient.
The city center was a large, open stone sculpture park.
In the very center of the park, the air trembled slightly, and a huge blue energy vortex suddenly tore through space and appeared.
Ezreal and the others emerged from the energy vortex.
Across from them, from an even larger black and white energy vortex, White Rat People and Black Pig People were rushing out.
Ezreal and the others, who had suddenly appeared, were immediately spotted by this group of Orcs, who did not hesitate for a moment.
The Orcs charged towards the four like madmen.
"It's humans! Ah!"
"Kill! For the New World! Ah!"
"Ah! Kill them!"
Ezreal, Cana, Gray, and Elfman stood in a line, facing the charging Orcs without fear.
Among the four, even Elfman, the weakest, had the strength of a B-Rank Mage. He was not nervous facing this group of Orcs, whose strength was generally at the C-class level.
"Leave it to me!" Gray stepped forward, abruptly bending down and slamming his hands on the ground. Icy blue cold air surged from his hands, then quickly spread forward along the ground.
The White Rat People ran very fast, pulling away from the bulky Black Pig People. Dozens of White Rat People charged at the front and were touched by the cold air.
Their bodies were frozen at a visible speed before they could even react. The ice quickly covered the entire body of the White Rat People from their feet, and in an instant, dozens of White Rat People were frozen.
The faster-reacting White Rat People behind them slammed on their brakes, and some clever ones jumped left and right, timely avoiding the freezing of the residual cold air.
This group of Orcs no longer charged wildly, but slowly retreated, gathering together and moving towards the direction of the energy vortex.
Even the berserk Black Pig People realized that the opponent seemed difficult to deal with and followed the White Rat People, retreating towards the energy vortex.
Gray stood up, looking coldly at the remaining Orcs, "They're a bit harder to deal with than ordinary Magical Beasts. I thought I could just freeze..."
Before Gray could finish speaking, a purple lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, shot out like a laser from the black and white energy vortex nearby, striking Gray's chest.
The powerful lightning strike directly threw Gray flying.
Cana and Elfman cried out, "Gray!"
Ezreal's face darkened, his gaze fixed on the black and white energy vortex.
Lightning magic attacked extremely fast; Ezreal hadn't even had time to react to that lightning strike just now.
From the opposite teleportation gate, a tall and burly figure emerged.
The newcomer was a bald man with purple skin, about 1.9 meters tall, with a strong physique and powerful muscles.
He was bare-chested, wearing a battle skirt on his lower body, and had a purple scorpion tail extending from his tailbone, about two meters long and as thick as an arm, looking like a steel whip.
The tip of the scorpion tail was not a barbed stinger, but a muzzle emitting faint purple electric arcs.
The man's hands, however, were exceptionally large, somewhat disproportionate to his body, like two giant fans.
An unsettling killing intent and bestial aura emanated from this man.
Ezreal said with a grim face, "Who are you?"
The scorpion-tailed man opposite him crossed his arms, his face arrogant, "New World, Twenty-Four Generals · Jingzhe Scorpion!"
