The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 182 Battlefield Situation
On the other hand, Richard opened the treasure chest comfortably in the city of Amade, but on the battlefield, Richard was not so comfortable.

The black tide was not moving very fast. It was approaching Ahmad's territory at a slow but constant speed across the wilderness.

They are like a high wall that seems insurmountable just by looking at it.

During this process, small teams of black knights kept separating from the large team, seemingly conducting reconnaissance or clearing out some nightmare creatures near the main army.

In the center of the army, an exceptionally tall black knight was staring in the direction of Amade City with blood-red eyes.

He is the commander of this group of black knights and the strongest of them.

Suddenly, a lance began to form in the hands of the Black Knight Commander. Then, all the Black Knights in the army began to form lances in their hands.

At the end of the Black Knight Commander's field of vision, a black dot was expanding rapidly.

The Black Knight Commander issued a silent order:

"charge!"

The next moment, the black tide surged forward like a flood that broke through a dam.

At this time, no matter whether it was mountains or seas standing in the way of the Black Knights' army, nothing could stop them from charging.

If it's a mountain, then dig it up! If it's a sea, then build a bridge!

Once the Black Knights' charge begins, there will be only two results: crush the enemy or be crushed by the enemy!
……

In the distance, Ahmad, who had led the expedition, suddenly stopped.

"Everyone stop."

He looked into the distance, and a pair of blood-red eyes in the black helmet revealed a kind of breathtaking deterrence.

The nightmares stopped and waited for the order from the coach Ahmad.

Ahmad glanced at the many nightmares below, and then ordered the officer:
"Officer, release your pages. The Black Knight has noticed us."

The officer opened the book, and the white papers turned into nightmare spirits, while the officer's aura also weakened.

Soon, tens of thousands of nightmare spirits were released by the officer. These nightmare spirits were the officer's talent. Every time a nightmare creature was devoured, a corresponding page of the book would appear on its body.

When needed, these pages can temporarily transform into nightmare creatures to attract other people's attention.

This talent is of little use in normal times. After all, it has neither offensive nor defensive capabilities, and is not even abstract enough.

But when a black tide occurs, this talent is priceless.

Once the Black Knight's charge hits a nightmare creature, its stored power will disappear, so if the agent's talent can be used properly, it is easy to inflict heavy losses on the Black Knight army.

This is also the reason why Ahmad has the confidence to go on this expedition.

As long as they are not hit by the Black Knights' charge, these Black Knights are nothing to worry about.

These book page nightmare spirits were controlled by the affairs officer and ran in an orderly manner in the mountains and fields, looking very skilled.

Apparently, this wasn't the first time he had done this.

In addition to the affairs officer, Ahmad also ordered several nightmares of varying strength to set up the battlefield.

These nightmare creatures have the ability to change the terrain on a large scale. In just a dozen minutes, the area where Richard was located turned into an isolated island surrounded by swamps.

The dark green swamp gave off a pungent odor. In the swamp, a big nightmare that looked like a tree man used the power of nightmare to create a dense forest. These newly born big trees were all the products of the big nightmare's talent and looked like a replica of the big nightmare.

These tree men have thorns on their branches, and the thorns are attached with strong poison. Once the Black Knight falls into the swamp, these tree men can quickly deal with him.

In addition to tree monsters, all kinds of strange nightmare creatures lurk in the swamp.

Without exception, these things are terrible objects that can kill people.

Richard stood beside the puppet Billy, watching one hideous puppet after another with blood on their bodies emerge from his body.

These puppets hold blood-stained daggers in their hands, looking like evil spirits from a horror movie.

Richard grabbed a puppet and snatched the dagger from his hand.

"Hey, Charlie in Black, what are you doing?" said the puppet Billy dissatisfiedly.

"Nothing." Richard looked at the knife in his hand. There was a layer of nightmare rules attached to the knife, which could make anyone stabbed by him bleed profusely.

"Your knife is not good enough. How can a knife of this quality penetrate the armor of the Black Knight?"

As he spoke, Richard put away the dagger, condensed an alloy dagger in his hand, and stuffed it into the puppet's hand.

"Try mine, I guarantee it's better than yours."

The puppet controlled by Billy waved the dagger twice and found that Richard's was indeed stronger than his.

"It's really good. I didn't expect you to have this skill." Puppet Billy said in surprise.

Richard smiled. The material of this dagger is the alloy used in alchemical machinery. Although it is only an apprentice's stuff, it is definitely stronger than the steel dagger of the puppet Billy.

Richard's hands continued to condense alloy daggers: "Let's cooperate, how about a 19:1 nightmare power split? You get 9 and I get 1."

Puppet Billy thought for a moment and immediately agreed to the deal.

Afterwards, all of Billy's killing puppets were replaced with Richard's alloy daggers, and most of the replaced steel daggers were transformed into nightmare power by Billy. The remaining three daggers were collected by Richard, preparing to use them for future research.

While Richard's side was setting up the battle environment, the Black Knight army was also advancing steadily.

The thunderous sound of horse hooves could be heard clearly even from a distance of more than ten miles. As the black knights charged, they formed a "V"-shaped front, like a sharp arrow that was about to pierce through Richard's defense.

Soon, the false nightmare spirit controlled by the agent began to lure the Black Knight.

These nightmare spirits roamed the wilderness, and the nightmare power in their bodies constantly stimulated the black knights who served as the vanguard.

Soon, the first black knight who broke away from the team appeared.

He rushed out of the formation and stabbed the nightmare spirit to death with the lance in his hand.

After him, more and more black knights broke away from the formation and began to hunt down nightmare spirits.

The entire vanguard of the Black Knights' army instantly fell apart.

"It looks like the Big Black Tide isn't that difficult." Richard deliberately said to Billy, the puppet beside him, trying to get something out of him.

As he expected, the puppet Billy glanced at him and said with some disdain:

"This is just the beginning. You will know the difference between the Black Tide and the Black Knight soon."

Not long after Puppet Billy finished speaking, the commander of the Black Knights issued his second order.

"charge."

This charge was a little different. Those scattered black knights had hindered the advance of the black knight army. Under the commander's order, the charging black knights aimed their lances at their companions who were blocking them.

The Black Knight's charge can only crush the enemy, or be crushed by the enemy!
Tear!

A black knight who was blocking the way was lifted into the sky by two lances, and his body was torn into two pieces in an instant.

The cruel order made the Black Knights appear again, but at this moment, they also entered the swamp.

The foul-smelling swamp caused the black knight at the forefront to fall into it instantly, followed by a series of falls.

The nightmare creatures lurking in the swamp seized the opportunity and began to deal with the group of black knights.

The dark tree demon twitched its roots and impaled a black knight, standing around it like a rack. Beside it, a dark shadow monster swallowed a black knight whole.

The methods used by the nightmare creatures were all kinds of strange, but soon they discovered something was wrong.

More and more black knights entered the swamp, and their horses' hooves were wrapped in a layer of misty nightmare power.

The swamp they had carefully prepared turned into waste in the face of this cloud of mist. The Black Knight was actually able to walk on the water with the help of this cloud of mist!
"Having a commander-in-chief is like having a brain. Some powerful black knights are even better at using nightmare power than lord-level figures." Puppet Billy looked at the black knight walking on water and said to Richard in a heavy tone.

He is not very optimistic about the war situation this time.

Although they have achieved a lot of results, these losses are not enough in the face of the Black Knight army.

If not stopped, these black knights would quickly penetrate their defenses.

As if to confirm the idea of ​​puppet Billy, the black knight who rushed into the swamp stabbed a greedy little nightmare to death with one shot. Behind him, more and more black knights entered the swamp. The lances of these black knights were burning with black and red flames. After being contaminated by the flames, the tree monster quickly turned into a torch stump.

As the most solid obstacle in the swamp, once the tree monsters are slaughtered, it means the collapse of the entire defense line.

In the sky, Demon Sword Ahmad looked at the gradually collapsing defense line and felt a little annoyed.

The black knights responded so quickly that the damage caused to the defense line was far less than he thought.

He looked at the army of black knights not far away. In the center of the army, an exceptionally tall black knight was staring at him.

"Hold the line."

Ahmad gave the order and then pointed the magic sword in his hand at the black knight commander.

The meaning is self-evident.

The commander of the black knights raised his lance, rode the nightmare horse under his crotch, which was not much inferior to the black dragon, and charged towards Ahmad in the sky.

The hooves of the nightmare horse were burning with flames, and every step it took would leave a footprint burning with black flames in the void.

As it charged, a road of fire gradually appeared in the void, and at the end of the road was Ahmad riding a black dragon!

The magic sword in Ahmad's hand began to wake up, and blood-red eyes began to open, spreading from the hilt to the tip of the sword. As they opened, Ahmad's aura became stronger and stronger. When the last eye opened, Ahmad seemed like a demon god descending to the world.

Even the celestial phenomena changed because of him.

Ahmad swung the magic sword in his hand, and in an instant, it seemed as if the whole world was swinging along with the sword.

And where the sword was pointing, the black knight charged towards the sky with his lance, and the black tip of the lance seemed to pierce through the sky.
