The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 159 Our army was defeated?

Upon hearing the news from the headquarters, the expressions of the two people who were being sentimental suddenly froze.

"Uh... this..." Richard turned his head away, "I'm going to take back my alchemical golem, you organize the others."

After saying that, Richard fled from the command room.

It's so embarrassing to stop in the middle of a sentimental performance.

Arriving outside the war fortress, Richard opened the secret realm to let the golem in, and then called Ulysses to prepare for retreat.

"Gah, they finally retreated. If we wait a little longer, the big bug will be able to move."

Upon hearing this, Richard glanced at the giant war insect in the distance, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.

"The headquarters asked us to withdraw to the floating city. Could it be that... our army was defeated?"

After receiving the news of retreat, the white wizard in the fortress was very nimble. Two people took charge of the huge alchemical magic stone cannon and disassembled it into several large parts in ten seconds, and then put them all into the magic pocket.

The price of these magic stone cannons is not cheap. If they are dropped on the battlefield, their entire team will have to pay a large amount of magic stones to the legion.

Without the firepower of the magic stone cannon, the insect swarm was advancing rapidly towards the war fortress.

But they are fast, and wizards are faster.

One minute after receiving the news of retreat, all the supplies in the war fortress were packed up, with an astonishing speed.

Under the cover of Ulysses and Richard, the White Wizards gathered behind the war fortress and formed a wedge formation.

Richard swung his staff to kill an approaching insect, and then joined the white wizard team.

Ivan pulled him to his side and gave orders.

"Everyone get ready, now implement the fourth strategic transfer plan."

After saying this, Richard felt his body lighten, as if he had no weight.

Ivan laughed and said to Richard, "Brother Richard, today I will show you the skills of our White Wizard!"

After saying that, Richard felt the scene before his eyes change rapidly. The entire team of white wizards was moving towards the floating city like a seagull passing through dark clouds.

Behind them, the swarm of insects was chasing them like a dark cloud, but the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

A warrior bug looked at the wizard team going away and cursed: "This is fucking weird, it's okay for these wizards to be so good at fighting, but how come they can run away so quickly!"

……

Arriving at the floating city fortress, the floating city fortress has become a hedgehog. The White Wizard Corps that have withdrawn from the front line are urgently building fortifications based on the wizard residential area outside the fortress. Various alchemical magic stone cannons are also installed there, ready to go into battle at any time.

After Richard and his party arrived at the floating city, they were immediately found by the logistics wizard and prepared to be assigned tasks.

The logistics wizard walked up to the team, holding a crystal ball in his hand.

"Team number?"

"White Wizard Squad No. 352 of the Third War Zone reports to you!"

"The third battle zone?" The logistics wizard looked at the configuration of Richard and his group with a surprised expression. "Wasn't the third battle zone beaten to a pulp by bugs? Your team looks quite complete."

"Beat them like a sieve?" Richard was a little surprised. "Is the situation in the third war zone so bad?"

The logistics wizard nodded and said, "It seems you are lucky that you didn't encounter those big bugs. If a few big bugs appeared in the third war zone, our battle fortress would not be able to stop them.

The Third War Zone Command originally wanted to use war airships to deal with these things, but there were too many of them and they couldn't handle them at all.

I heard that in order to prevent the battle line from collapsing too quickly, many fortresses were treated as abandoned pawns and nailed to the battlefield. "

Hearing this, all members of the White Wizard Team clenched their fists.

They are among those abandoned ones.

Ivan didn't say much. He made a hushing gesture to his team members and followed the logistics wizard to the mission site.

"This is it." The logistics wizard pointed to several houses in the residential area, "Set up your magic stone cannons here, and then send a few people to get the supplies and transform these houses into fortresses. As for you, the dark wizard..."

The logistics wizard glanced at Richard, then tapped the crystal ball a few times and said, "You don't have any mission for now. You will be under the unified command of the headquarters. Now find a place to rest."

After the logistics wizard left, Richard said goodbye to Ivan and the others. As a dark wizard, he could not help much in building fortifications.

Passing through the busy residential area, Richard found the gathering area of ​​dark wizards in the floating city fortress. The dark wizards who came from the front line gathered in groups of three or five, exchanging information with each other.

Richard looked around and unexpectedly found two figures that shouldn't be there.

"Ellie, Lawrence!" Richard walked over with some surprise. When the two saw Richard, they all showed joy on their faces.

"Richard, you're back!"

Ellie ran over to Richard and gave him a big hug.

Released from the hug, Richard asked in confusion: "Weren't you guys in hiding? Why did you come out from underground?"

Lawrence then walked up to Richard and gave him a fist bump.

"Yes, they were dormant, but don't forget that the main forces of the insects were all mobilized before the battle. Under this circumstance, we dormant wizards naturally took action. Among the dormant wizards, there was a three-ring master. Under his leadership, we managed to escape from the insect nest."

Although Lawrence said it so lightly, for Richard, who had experienced the hive breakout and the battlefield, the risks in these few words were enough to kill an ordinary wizard ten times.

"Anyway, as long as we're alive, that's enough." Richard said with a smile.

After a few more pleasantries, Richard turned the issue to the situation on the battlefield.

"Based on the intelligence we have so far, our situation is not very optimistic." Lawrence whispered, "I heard that our main force in the First War Zone fought a fierce battle with nearly 20 million insects. The insect corpses were so numerous that they could be piled up into a mountain. We also suffered heavy losses here, and more than a dozen war airships were destroyed."

Richard was shocked. More than a dozen war airships were destroyed, but not only the war airships were damaged. Each war airship was guarded by a white wizard army. The damage to the war airships meant that the white wizard army was also severely damaged.

"So, we are going back to the floating city now, are we planning to..." Richard's eyes flickered as he spoke, and Lawrence saw it and just shook his head slightly.

"It shouldn't be. The ground battlefield is only a part of the plane war. What really determines the direction of the war..." Lawrence pointed to the sky, "is the great wizard and the lord of the world of insects.

As long as the Great Wizard of the Black Tower can win, it doesn't matter if the war is temporarily unfavorable. But..."

Lawrence sighed and didn't continue speaking, but everyone knew what he meant.

If they lose, they will have to run away in disgrace.

……

On the fifth day after withdrawing from the front line, the first batch of troops from the First War Zone withdrew.

Regardless of whether those wizards were black or white, each of them exuded a strong murderous aura, and when they looked at people, it seemed as if they wanted to eat them alive.

This group of wizards were escorting a large number of wounded wizards, all of whom were dying and had completely lost their combat power. Among the wizards being escorted, quite a number of them were injured, and some had their organs exposed, their pounding hearts giving people the chills.

At this moment, more than half of the residential area renovation project has been completed. After this group of wizards retreated, the progress of the entire project quickly accelerated.

On the eighth day, the second group of troops withdrew. All the wizards in this group were dark wizards. After they withdrew, they brought one bad news and one good news to the wizards in the floating city.

The bad news: The war is falling apart.

Good news: The Queen Insect God has taken action.

Although the Queen Insect God's move caused the war to collapse, it also showed one thing - the insects could no longer bear the huge casualties.

The wizard paid such a painful price, but the insects had to pay a price ten or twenty times more painful than the wizard.

On the tenth day, the last batch of troops from the First War Zone withdrew.

Behind them, a sea of ​​insects like a vast ocean was gradually spreading.

Above the swarm of insects, a giant golden insect that was hundreds of meters long was flying slowly, emitting holy light from its body. The insects illuminated by the holy light were all full of energy, and the wounds on their bodies healed quickly.

Behind the retreating wizard group, a huge black-robed wizard was protecting them.

The black-robed wizard holds a huge rune staff in his hand, and every wave of the staff summons a spell like a world-destroying divine punishment.

A huge rune array emerged in the void, and molten rock shot out from it like a meteor shower.

After the meteorite comes the thunder.

The huge lightning across the sky almost turned the eternal night of the hive world into day.

But all of this was blocked by the huge golden bug.

The black crystal between the golden insect's eyebrows attracted the starlight from the entire world. With the help of the origin of the world, the entire world was helping the Mother Insect God.

The rich starlight almost turned into substance, it transformed into a light curtain, blocking out those spell coefficients that were like world-destroying divine punishment.

At this moment, the right time, right place, and right people are all in the hands of the Queen Insect God.

As the communication crystal ball lit up, all the wizards in the floating city received their orders.

"Defend the floating city fortress and do not retreat a single step."

In addition to this general order, each wizard also received his own small orders. The white wizard's order was to guard the completed fortifications, while the black wizard was to prepare to hunt down the insects that sneaked into the fortress.

The residential area is not a real fortress after all, and although it has been rebuilt by the White Wizard, there are definitely a lot of loopholes in it.

And dark wizards are the ones who fill these gaps.

Phew—boom!

As a fireball exploded at the edge of the sea of ​​insects, the decisive battle officially began.
