The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 162 If you can’t beat him, just shake him down
The appearance of the giant war insects brought some changes to the battlefield.

Faced with this group of powerful offensive weapons, the command center had to expend special combat power to deal with them, otherwise this group of insects would be enough to break down the outer defense circle of the entire floating city.

But now, faced with insects as numerous as sea sand, the command center’s available forces are somewhat stretched.

"Activate the large disintegrator."

In the command room, a three-ring wizard spoke.

"If we don't activate the large disintegration cannon, there's no way we can deal with those big bugs."

The difficulty of the war giant worm lies not in itself, but in the group of worms attached to it. Under the worm tide, no wizard can withstand the attack of other worms and kill these giant worms.

"What does the Curse Group say?" asked another three-ring wizard.

As one of the five major schools, the role of the curse wizard on the front battlefield is very limited. Although the curse witchcraft is powerful, on the front battlefield, the torrent of spells is the real weapon.

But the limited role of cursed wizards on the front battlefield does not mean that they are useless.

When faced with some difficult enemies, the curse group composed of curse wizards is a powerful weapon to deal with them.

"No, the Curse Group has tried many times, but these giant insects are protected by the enemy world master with the power of the world. Even a great wizard of the Curse School will have to work hard to break through this layer of protection."

"So, let's use the big disintegration cannon." The three-ring wizard made another suggestion.

In the center of this group of three-ring wizards, Susanna, with flames burning on her body, was thinking hard.

Now that the great wizard is fighting on the front line, all command tasks fall on Susanna. This power is enormous, but also very heavy.

Suddenly, the flames on Susanna's body suddenly grew stronger, and her pair of red eyes carried a terrifying pressure.

"Big Disintegrator... don't move! All the energy in the floating city must be used to ignite the cross-border portal. Everything else must give way to the portal!"

Susanna believes that the tasks assigned to her by her teacher are absolutely important.

Maybe behind the portal, there is a legion of white wizards ready to go waiting for him.

As the commander-in-chief, everyone had to obey Susanna's orders even if they had objections.

There can be many voices when discussing orders, but once the orders are confirmed, there can only be one voice, and that is obedience.

"If we don't use the large disintegration cannon, then we have to prepare to retreat to the inner ring." A third-ring wizard said dimly, "Let the logistics wizards get ready. I will be their commander later."

"I haven't been to the battlefield in years. I hope my skills are still there."

The wizards at the front lines were apparently not aware of the discussion at the command center. Until the command center gave the order, all wizards had to stay at their positions.

Not taking a single step back is no joke.

The old wizard glanced at the giant war worm in the distance, and the wrinkles on his face became even deeper.

"These things are hard to deal with, kid, this is for you."

The old wizard handed Richard a magic bag, which was filled with parts of the magic stone cannon.

He patted Richard on the shoulder and said, "You and I have repaired a lot of magic stone cannons. This thing is not difficult. I will leave the rest to you.

Judging from the current situation, the command center does not plan to use the large fission cannon, otherwise the magic fluctuation would have appeared by now.

I have to go to the logistics department and find a few old guys to put together a big one to deal with these big bugs.

Otherwise we’re all doomed.”

After saying that, the old wizard flew towards the depths of the floating city fortress, leaving Richard standing there stupidly.

At this moment, Richard felt like he had become the Benboba in Journey to the West.

With a loud noise coming from all around, a white wizard rushed towards Richard.

"Master Richard, our magic stone cannon has melted down!"

Richard nodded blankly, then clenched his pockets.

Now that the order has been given, we have no choice but to do it.

……

The horror of the battlefield lies in the fact that most people have no control over their own life and death. Many times, death and survival are only one step away.

sizzle...

A ball of arc acid broke through the magic barrier and exploded inside the residential area. The splashing acid instantly melted half of a wizard's body.

And Richard was only one step away from him.

Looking at the lifeless wizard in front of him, Richard flew over his body indifferently and entered a turret room.

Inside the room, a wizard with half of his body burnt was receiving treatment from the necromancer, and the magic stone cannon he was controlling also stopped at this moment.

Richard looked at the magic stone cannon. This magic stone cannon was well made, and the runes on the parts were even carved, which looked very beautiful. Now even if it was melted, it didn't cause much damage. It only needed to rebuild the magic circuit and reinstall a spellcasting component to operate it again.

"Master Richard, could you please help me with this magic stone cannon?" a white wizard said respectfully to Richard.

Richard's reputation as a battlefield repairman has spread. At a time when the legion's equipment commanders have entered the floating city to gather big guys, Richard has become one of the most reliable alchemists on the front line.

In just a few hours, the rumors about Richard changed from Master Richard needing only one minute to rebuild the magic circuit, to Master Richard being able to repair any severely damaged magic stone cannon, and finally to Master Richard being able to assemble the magic stone cannon with his hands.

Although these rumors are outrageous, they also indirectly confirm Richard's ability.

Richard touched the magic stone cannon, and suddenly a piece of information appeared in front of him.

[Raw materials: Damaged fine Lavoisier Type II magic stone cannon] [Refinable information: Lavoisier Type II magic stone cannon blueprint (incomplete)]

[Refining consumption: 10 mental power]

Richard was shocked and turned to the wizards around him and said:

"This cannon is a bit difficult to repair, so please help me stop the bugs that are infiltrating."

As he said this, Richard swung out a fireball, blasting away a samurai bug that tried to enter the room.

"Okay, Master!"

Several white wizards responded and then left the room to guard Richard.

After they walked out, Richard immediately chose to refine.

After a dizzy moment, a ball of white light appeared above the Miracle Furnace. Richard swallowed it, and a design drawing with some missing parts appeared in front of him.

The missing part of this blueprint is the spellcasting component, but this component does not seem important in theory.

Ordinary wizards may think that the core of the magic stone cannon lies in the spell model of the spellcasting component, but for Richard, this component is far less useful than this extremely mature design drawing.

Something like the magic stone cannon cannot be used on the battlefield as soon as it is made. It must go through a prototype and then be continuously updated and iterated until it can perfectly adapt to the plane battlefield.

This process may take thousands of years.

During this process, the parts of the magic stone cannon will be gradually streamlined and improved, and the structure will also change. This is much more valuable than the spell model.

And the most crucial thing is that if Richard intends to build his own magic stone cannon and uses the same spell model and is discovered, what awaits him will be the physical protection of the White Wizard Legion.

The similarity of the parts of the magic stone cannon can be explained by coincidence. After all, there is only one optimal solution for some parts.

But spell models are never exactly the same.

Stealing knowledge is a felony. Although there are no patents in the wizarding world, even law enforcement wizards will not care about things like stealing knowledge and being hunted down by the original owner.

After the refining was completed, Richard repaired the magic guide components, installed the spellcasting components and left the fort. The white wizard guarding the door gave him a respectful wizard salute, not knowing that the design of his own legion's magic stone cannon had been obtained by this black wizard.

The giant war insects in the distance were less than one kilometer away from the residential area. Their huge bodies were covered with thick shells. Although the fireballs could blow a big hole, the golden light from the Queen Insect God made the recovery ability of this group of giant insects amazingly high. After one fireball hit them, the wounds of the giant insects began to scab before the second fireball was fired, and they healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The appearance of the giant insects created a huge loophole in the wizards' fire blockade, and a large number of insects sneaked into residential areas using the giant insects.

This line of defense is on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly, Richard looked up in the direction of the floating city.

A violent wave of magical power came from the floating city, followed by a rainbow light that penetrated the sky.

A giant insect was hit by the rainbow light, and its shell instantly disintegrated into four elements. The chaotic elements turned into small elemental storms, constantly tearing the giant insect's body and expanding the wound.

Richard saw that at the source of the rainbow light, several old wizards were controlling a huge alchemical weapon. The alchemical weapon looked very rough and full of steampunk temperament.

"Is this the big guy that Master Vladimir collected?" Richard exclaimed.

But soon, Richard discovered something was wrong.

This rainbow light did cause effective damage to the giant insect, but the giant insect's body was so large that it took two minutes for the rainbow light to kill one insect.

But the swarm has dozens of insects, and this efficiency is far from enough to prevent the giant insects from destroying the defense circle.

"Alas, this bug is blessed by the power of the world, and the speed of the small disintegration cannon is too slow." An old wizard sighed.

Opposite him, Vladimir was staring at the giant insect in the distance. He said angrily:
"What on earth are these idiots at the command center planning? Why don't they use the Disintegrator Cannon at this time? The defense line is about to collapse. If we don't use the Disintegrator Cannon, we will be overwhelmed by these bugs."

A wizard walked up to Vladimir and pointed to the sky.

"Vladimir, the commander-in-chief is a student of the Great Wizard of the Black Tower. You'd better be careful about your words and actions."

But then, he looked at the two huge monsters in the sky with worry. Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but these old wizards could see that the condition of the Great Wizard of the Black Tower had deteriorated a lot.

But the bug on the opposite side is still alive and well.

"Is it going to fail this time?"

……

In the sky, the Queen Insect God slowly blocked the spells of the Great Wizard of the Black Tower. Now the balance of war had tipped towards her, and she had an absolute advantage in the battle.

His strategy of remaining unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances made it impossible for the Great Wizard of the Black Tower to do anything to him.

"Wizard, get out with your minions!"

The Queen Insect God issued the first declaration after the battle began.

But then, a violent wave of magical power came from the floating city.

The cross-border portal was finally lit up by the logistics wizard.

The logistics wizard looked nervously at the huge portal in front of him, which was large enough for a war airship to pass through.

They were expecting an entire army of white wizards to emerge from behind the gate and turn the unfavorable situation around, but after the portal fluctuated slightly, only one figure walked in.

The wizard was wearing a white robe and his body was made of blue ice.

The wizard raised his head slightly, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the air and reach the battlefield between the Great Wizard of the Black Tower and the Queen Insect God in the sky.

"Heita, you are in such a mess now."
