The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 224 Ambush? Artillery fire!
Fifty kilometers away from the salamander ambush site.

"Okay, try starting it."

Richard closed the enchanted armor plate of the spell support vehicle and shouted to Iyad.

Actual combat testing is very important for a weapon. Although various issues were taken into consideration when designing Richard's spell support vehicle, the vehicle still malfunctioned after facing the extreme conditions of the Red Sun World.

In the red soil plains of the Chiyang world, the temperature can easily reach 60 degrees during the day and 80 degrees at noon. As the sun sets, the temperature of the red soil plains will drop sharply below zero.

In such extreme weather, the cooling system of the magic support vehicle's engine must operate at its limit during the day, and at night, the sudden drop in temperature can easily cause deformation of some small parts of the magic support vehicle.

But the White Wizard Team had the designer Richard as their technical consultant, and all the problems with the spell support vehicle were solved under Richard's operation.

After returning from this mission, Richard will upgrade all the spell support vehicles to cope with the harsh environment of the Chiyang world.

"Okay. I'll try it out."

As the hybrid engine was infused with magic power, a wild roar once again burst out from under the car.

"Everything is fine! Ready to go."

Richard felt relieved when he heard Ayad's voice.

As long as the problem is solved.

This was Richard's first time doing after-sales service, and he felt a lot of pressure. If he couldn't handle the problem of the magic support vehicle well, it would definitely affect the future sales of the magic support vehicle.

Fortunately, he had some skills and did not encounter any unsolvable problems along the way.

After opening the car door and sitting in the passenger seat, the team continued to move towards the place where the signal came from. But out of caution, Richard let Ulises out and asked him to investigate the situation.

After all, they are on the front line now. It would be terrible if a fire lizard mentioned that they had discovered a dark wizard and set a trap for them there.

Seeing Richard releasing Ulysses, Iyad quickly stopped him and said:
"Master Richard, don't let your pet out. Those fire lizards have prey animals that specifically target our pets. Your pet hasn't been specially modified. If it's encountered by the fire lizards' prey animals, you'll lose a soul seed."

But Richard smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, my magical pet is not weak."

Soon, Ulysses returned with a small dragon beast with dragon scales and that looked like a pterosaur in its claws.

"Gah, these little guys bred by lizards are pretty powerful. They have good fighting ability and taste good too. The bones are crunchy when eaten."

Ayad was surprised to see Ulises so brave.

These hunting beasts usually set out in groups, and even a second-level magical pet would be torn to pieces if it encountered one.

And this crow actually managed to catch a prey and return it safe and sound.

This strength is comparable to that of some wizards.

Iyad glanced at Richard and felt that this master was becoming more and more powerful.

Alchemy is powerful, and the magic pet is also so powerful. The magic pet is so powerful, its strength must not be weak. And Richard looks so young...

Thinking of this, Ayad couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The gap between wizards is sometimes even greater than the gap between wizards and natives.

"Let's get to the point. Is there any salamander ambushing ahead?" Richard took the prey from Ulysses' claws, sealed it casually, and threw it into his magic pocket.

"Gah, there are indeed ambushes, but not many. However, with your strength..." Ulises paused, "It may be risky to fight head-on.

But I didn’t take your car into account. I wasn’t involved in your car at the time, so I don’t know how powerful it is.”

Richard frowned slightly, "Tell me the location and strength of the Salamander's ambush."

"Gah, at first glance, there are dozens of level one and three level two, but these people all have spirit camouflage, and it's obvious that they are the elite among the fire lizards."

"Where's the location?"

Richard took Iyad's map crystal ball, and as magic power was injected, a light curtain map appeared in front of Richard.

Ulises made a rough estimate and then tapped the map with his beak.

After Richard saw the location, he couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

"… right where the signal was sent. Iyad, our mission has failed."

"Um!?"

Iyad slammed on the brakes and the entire convoy stopped.

"Master, what did your familiar tell you? Did he see the fire lizard kill the wizard?"

Richard then told Ayad what Ulysses had discovered. Ayad was silent for a moment, then said to Richard:

"Master, we must see the person alive or dead. If we don't have physical evidence, it will be difficult for us to give an explanation to the headquarters."

Naturally, not every task assigned by the headquarters can be completed. For those unfinished tasks, if the wizard who executes them is still alive, he needs to submit a written report to the headquarters and record the situation in detail.

There is no requirement for evidence to be present for such a written report, but it is required for those wizards who are lucky enough to survive.

These people often lost their companions and were seriously injured, so it was normal for them to have no evidence.

But in the case of Team 13 where no one was hurt and even the spell support vehicle was not started, they obviously had to submit evidence to prove that the wizard was indeed dead or that the fire lizards were indeed ambushed.

"Evidence? That's easy."

Richard calmly took out a crystal ball from his magic pocket.

“The range of the magic support vehicle is not very short. We will fire at the ambush for 30 seconds. This will ensure safety and blow up those fire lizards.

Then my magical pet used the crystal ball to record the scene.

This way, we have evidence and the magic support vehicle has been tested. Killing two birds with one stone."

After hearing this, Iyad immediately agreed with Richard's idea. This idea really achieved the best of both worlds. "Let's do as the master says. Our team will all follow the master's command."

Although the wizards driving the magic support vehicle knew all the data, their level was far from enough compared with Richard, the technical consultant.

A weapon is different on the shooting range than on the battlefield, and sometimes fine-tuning is essential.

In order to achieve precise fine-tuning, you either need to have enough experience with this weapon and have fought on several battlefields with it.

Or you know it well enough to understand how each of its parts works, the manufacturing process and materials of the parts.

The spell support vehicle is a new weapon, and experienced veterans obviously don't have it, but as a designer, Richard can still meet the second requirement.

"Okay, wait for my instructions."

……

In the ambush, the silver-horned fire lizard was waiting for the big fish to take the bait with some boredom.

In fact, he has done this more than once.

Let a small shrimp escape thrillingly, and then wait to summon other wizards for support.

This strategy works every time.

He used it four times, and each time he got something unexpected. The best time was when he killed a team of white wizards in one go.

For this, he was personally awarded a gold medal by Commander Azuhan and Princess Akara.

To the Silver Horn nobles, gold was not considered valuable, not even pure gold.

But the honor represented by this medal is different.

These Silver Horn nobles have never experienced poverty since childhood. If we use Maslow's hierarchy of needs to defeat them.

These Silver Horn nobles are all at the top of the pyramid - the self-actualization part.

The honor represented by the medal is a kind of recognition and self-realization.

This made countless Silver Horn nobles willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

Suddenly, the Silver-Horned Salamander felt a slight vibration from the ground. He lowered his ear to the ground, and a subtle rumbling sound continued to reach his ears.

Something is coming!
The silver-horned fire lizard tapped the ground with its tail, which was a signal indicating that the enemy was approaching.

The ambushing salamanders tried hard to adjust their breathing, heartbeat and body temperature, trying to blend themselves into the environment as much as possible.

Their disguise was so impeccable that even if Richard stood next to them, he might not be able to spot them.

Only this time, the fire lizard was not facing a wizard.

……

"Thirty-two degrees north by east, highest range."

As Richard issued the order, the turrets on the backs of the four magic support vehicles began to adjust their positions. With a series of metal creaking coming from inside the turrets, all the turrets were ready to take position.

"Are you all ready? Three! Two! One!"

"Fire!"

Following Richard's order, the turrets carried by the four magic support vehicles instantly spewed out deadly rain of fire.

Within thirty seconds, the four magic support vehicles spewed out 1,440 fireballs of level 350. These fireballs streaked across the night sky, looking like a meteor shower from a distance.

Rumble!
Raindrops fell.

Although firing the fireball at the range limit would result in a larger dispersion of the fireball, the number of 1,440 was enough to make up for this shortcoming.

The salamanders in ambush did not wait for the wizard to take the bait, and their disguises could not deceive the fireballs.

Thirty seconds later, the rain stopped.

The red earth was in a mess. The ambushed fire lizards were almost all killed, and the remaining fire lizards were barely surviving.

In the sky, a black crow recorded this scene with a crystal ball.

"Gah, this guy makes really good machines."

Ulises returned to the convoy with the crystal ball. After Ayad confirmed the content of the video, he happily accepted the crystal ball.

This crystal ball not only serves as evidence, but also as proof of their achievements.

"Thank you for troubling me on this mission, Master."

Richard waved his hand. "It's my duty. It's no trouble. I have to go to the battlefield to take a look and collect some data.

You guys should go back first, we have made quite a noise, don't attract the Salamanders' army."

As soon as Richard finished speaking, he saw a tiny beam of light appearing where their artillery fire was.

The light beam exploded in the air, turning into a gorgeous firework. When Richard saw the firework, his skin instantly tightened.

It seemed as if something had fallen on him.

Iyad, who had many dealings with fire lizards, turned pale instantly after seeing the fireworks.

“Master, we have to run away quickly, this is the Salamander’s distress fireworks.

There was a silver-horned noble among the salamanders we fried."
