The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 157: Fortress Attack and Defense (Part )
"Curse virus?"

When Richard heard these two completely unrelated words combined together, he felt an absurd yet reasonable feeling in his heart.

"Curse virus, it really is this thing."

Unlike Richard who was confused, Ivan was very familiar with this thing and had obviously used it before.

"Ivan, what is a curse virus? A cursed virus?" Richard asked curiously.

Ivan glanced at him and said, "Still pretending. Don't you know about the curse virus? This is a great thing that your alchemy school and curse school have created. It combines curses and viruses together, making the virulent virus have the ability to spread like a curse, and it cannot be treated by conventional methods.

A strategic weapon specifically designed to target organisms below level one."

As we all know, due to its significant lethality, the spread of virulent viruses is often very narrow and can only be confined to a certain area. But when it is combined with a curse, all this changes.

Among the curse spells, there is a branch of spells called curse plague. The lethality of curse plague is often small, but it can be spread through various unexpected media.

For example, the curse on the books of the Black Tower Wizard Academy is a kind of curse plague. As long as the students open the books, they will be cursed. But if they never open the books, the curse will have no effect.

The wizard combined the virulent virus and the cursed plague together to form the current cursed virus.

Richard frowned when he heard this. The creativity of wizards in some aspects was really chilling.

"If we have such a good thing, why not make it stronger and make it effective against first-level creatures?" Richard asked casually.

"Huh?" Ivan looked at Richard in surprise, "You really don't know about the curse virus?"

"of course."

"The lethality of the cursed virus lies in the virus, not the curse. For level one creatures, these viruses have no effect at all.

According to your alchemical school's knowledge, it seems that the cells are too strong for the virus to invade."

“Besides,” Ivan added, “even if there is a virus that can kill level one organisms, the command will not use it.

These first-level creatures were excellent trophies and excellent slaves. It was such a pity that they all died of illness.

The reason we can use the curse virus this time is because the war situation is dire and we really have no other choice.

After all, those little bugs have value too.”

After hearing this, Richard suddenly shuddered.

There was a cold logic behind Ivan's words.

The great wizard does not care about the casualties of wizards, but only cares whether these casualties can bring due value.

……

Twelve hours later, an alchemical locomotive driven by a logistics wizard arrived at War Fortress No. 352. In addition to the curse virus they urgently needed, the logistics wizard also transported 100,000 magic stones, alchemical potions for maintaining the alchemical magic stone cannon, coolant needed for the alchemical magic stone cannon, metal parts for maintaining the alchemical magic stone cannon, and other trivial things.

After delivering the items, the logistics wizard drove the alchemy motorcycle back to the floating city fortress.

It seems that the current war situation is still stable, and this group of logistics wizards do not need to go to the battlefield yet.

The cursed virus was designed to look like an arrow, and ten arrows with black crystal feathers were neatly placed in a box.

Ivan came to the observation port of the fortress, picked up the arrow and drew the bowstring.

The next moment, a thread spread out from Ivan's hand. These magic threads spread in the air and eventually turned into a magic bow.

Ivan loosened his hand, and the virus feather arrow shot into the insect swarm like a meteor, accurately hitting a retreating insect.

Ivan clapped his hands and turned away from the observation port.

"Don't worry about what happens next. Those little bugs are dead."

Six hours after the virus feather arrow was shot, inside the hive.

"What's going on! Why are all our little bugs sick?"

The sacrificial insect dressed in moon-white silk pointed at the small insect in front of it and roared.

These cannon fodder insects look exactly like the warrior insects. At this moment, the insect in front of the sacrificial insect's eyes is constantly twitching and coughing up green mucus from its mouthparts.

If it weren't for the sacrificial insect forcibly stabilizing his life, this cannon fodder insect would probably have returned to the mother insect god long ago.

The priest worms and the golden warrior worms on the side were silent. This phenomenon was not an isolated case. Today, they saw similar situations almost all over the battle line. The best team also lost nearly half of its cannon fodder worms, and the worse team even had all its cannon fodder worms wiped out.

"Priest, this is a disease." A priest worm said, "That group of wizard monsters used evil means to transform this disease, allowing it to spread through means that we cannot detect.

In fact, we have also contracted this disease. However, our physique is much stronger than that of these little bugs, and these diseases cannot be manifested in us at all.”

"How do we solve this problem?" the Moon White Priest Worm asked loudly, "I need a solution now!"

Another sacrificial insect stood up and said, "My lord, the water blessed by the Queen Insect God can temporarily cure this disease. But those wizard monsters will continue to use this method. Our holy water cannot keep up with the speed at which the insects are infected."

"Can't keep up?"

The tentacles of the Moon White Sacrificial Bug twitched fiercely in the air, like cracking a whip, and then he said in a fierce voice: "If you can't keep up with the speed, then start attacking! Use up all the holy water and send all the cannon fodder bugs to the battlefield! All the warrior bugs and sacrificial bugs keep up!
If we lose this opportunity, the cost of breaking through this line of defense will be multiplied several times!"

……

The sacrificial insect distributed the prepared holy water, which was slightly warm and emitted a faint golden light.

After the cannon fodder worm takes a mouthful, its body instantly becomes strong. The disease is like ice and snow exposed to sunlight and golden light, and disappears without a trace in the presence of holy water.

The recovered cannon fodder worm knelt on the ground and loudly praised the power of the mother insect god. As a drop of holy water entered the mouth of the cannon fodder worm, a low hum suddenly came from the insect nest.

The chirping sound was very low, but it made all the insects excited.

This is the clarion call for counterattack.

The day of counterattack has come, they will take back their land and their world!

……

"Damn it, why does this attack never end!" a white wizard cursed.

The swarm's attacks were not uninterrupted; there was always a few minutes of rest between two attacks.

But this time was different. The attack had lasted for nearly three hours, but the bugs were still pouring towards the fortress like a tide.

They were like emotionless, cold machines, constantly using their flesh and blood to consume the war fortress's ammunition reserves.

Richard stood between the magic stone cannons, constantly using spells to help cool down the magic stone cannons. This attack made Richard feel very wrong. He had a hunch that this might be a general attack by the insects.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard.

"There's a level one bug in here! No, it's a level two bug!"

Richard quickly came to the firing area of ​​the Alchemical Magic Stone Cannon and took a look at the situation outside.

I saw a warrior insect moving among the insect swarms, constantly avoiding the power range of the fireball and moving rapidly towards the war fortress.

And this is not an isolated case. Warrior worms continue to appear from the cannon fodder worms. They nimbly dodge the fireballs of the magic stone cannon. Although they cannot dodge every shot, there is no doubt that their appearance has caused the firepower of the magic stone cannon to shift slightly in a hurry.

More insects, real or fake, took this opportunity to approach the war fortress.

"Don't worry about them!" Richard shouted, "Other wizards will deal with these bugs. Just focus on making the magic stone cannon play its maximum effect!"

At the same time, the two Tesla Type V magic stone cannons finally began to roar.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning shot out from the magic stone cannon, like the thunder that punishes demons in mythology, splitting an insect into charcoal.

But the Tesla Type V Magic Stone Cannon charges too slowly, and its hunting speed is far less than the speed at which the insects approach.

"Ulises, go and deal with those bugs outside."

After that, a black shadow flew out from the war fortress and passed by a warrior bug like lightning.

The next moment, the warrior insect froze in place, and a crack appeared in the center of the black crystal between its eyebrows, and then continued to spread until the entire black crystal turned into fragments.

"Gah, bugs! If you have the guts, come and trick the great Ulysses again!" Ulysses shouted arrogantly in the air.

With Ulises' help, the war situation was temporarily stabilized.

But none of the wizards in the fortress were happy.

Everyone knows that the insects' general attack is coming.

Soon, different insects began to appear at the tail end of the insect tide.

These bugs looked broad, thick and flat, like a platform. Richard felt that this type of bug was somewhat familiar.

Isn't this the transport bug of the hive? It's just a little bit bigger.

How did this logistical bug get on the battlefield?

But the next moment, Richard's expression became interesting.

I saw the bugs carrying small Mother Goddess cannons onto large transport bugs. These weapons, which were originally used as defensive weapons, have now become offensive weapons.

"Energy shield defense!" a white wizard roared in the mental network.

The next moment, hundreds of arc acid balls flew towards the war fortress.

In the command room, Ivan stood in the center of the room. A magic circle appeared under his feet. He closed his eyes and his mind followed the guidance of the magic circle into a huge system.

The war fortress suddenly trembled, and the sleeping steel and concrete creatures in the entire fortress suddenly came to life.

Subtle fluctuations of magical power can be felt in every corner of the fortress.

"Oh my god, what's going on!" Richard was very confused by the changes in the fortress. He felt that he was quite familiar with this group of white wizards, but he had no idea how the fortress could become so awesome.

As the arc acid ball approached, mysterious runes emerged on the surface of the fortress. These runes were connected by magic power, forming magic arrays of various shapes. The magic arrays were linked to each other, eventually forming a magic barrier that covered the entire fortress.

How could the White Wizard's war fortress be a blank slate? The wizard had already integrated magic circles into the building.

Arc acid balls continuously hit the magic barrier, causing ripples, but the war fortress did not suffer any damage.

This screen combines the White Wizard Civil Engineer’s one thousand years of experience in construction and one thousand years of experience in alchemy!
Bug, what can you do?

The next moment, a huge monster walked out of the insect nest.

Richard murmured, "Damn it, these bugs are going to defy the heavens."

At the end of the battlefield, a mutant transport worm as big as a hill slowly entered the battlefield.
