The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 297 The War Begins

Seven days before the war began, the entire mirror world was calm.

Neither side of the war had the slightest intention of taking action.

But any wizard who has participated in the House War knows that this is only the calm before the storm.

The longer you remain calm, the more powerful your attack will be.

……

Black Tower Wizard Academy
A team of wizards is patrolling the city walls.

After receiving the news of the war, the Black Tower Wizard Academy renovated the entire academy. On the outskirts of the academy, black spires surrounded the entire academy.

There is a huge crystal spire on the top of the spire, which serves as both a defensive and offensive measure.

There are towering walls between the spires, connecting the spires with each other. Runes and magic circles are engraved on the walls, making them an impregnable fortress.

Behind this city wall, there is the experimental area, commercial area, and residential area.

The same defensive towers stand in rows.

These towers were as strong as those in the city walls, and had spires made of crystal on top.

And they have something more.

The tower is filled with hideous and terrifying gargoyles. Their eyes are red as if they are filled with blood, as if they will break free from their petrification and descend to the human world in the next moment.

After the transformation, the entire Black Tower Wizarding Academy has become a military fortress with iron walls.

Patrolling wizards patrol from one spire to another.

The mirror world is now in late autumn. The cold wind blowing from the north is mixed with some special energy. It feels like a knife scraping on people. Even wizards feel a little cold.

"Phew, the wizarding world of the past was really scary."

A patrolling wizard wrapped himself tightly in his wizard robe in the cold wind, breathing out white air as he spoke.

"Yeah, I almost forgot what it feels like to be cold." Another patrol wizard in the patrol team continued.

"It's only late autumn now. If winter comes, this wind will be like a spell."

The energy in the wizarding world has become thinner, which is actually not a bad thing for humans.

The power of a world's natural phenomena is directly related to the energy concentration of its environment. In the Enlightenment period, when the cold wind of winter blew, even wizards did not dare to walk out of the wizard tower rashly.

The terrible ice storm treats all creatures below the level of great wizard equally. Even undead creatures will have their soul fire blown away by the ice storm.

But after the energy tide receded, the physical fitness of ordinary humans declined due to the decline of energy.

But the natural environment is no longer scary for wizards.

Under the protection of wizards, ordinary humans began to multiply rapidly. Even in the wilderness without the protection of wizards, there were human kingdoms as numerous as stars.

The wizard who complained at first sighed: "We are born in a good era."

Suddenly, the sighing wizard noticed something was wrong.

Without even a second thought, a magic barrier popped out from his body.

sizzle...

A sharp corrosive sound came into the wizard's ears.

A dark green energy arrow was now inserted into his energy barrier.

Behind him, a group of black-robed wizards had climbed up the city wall at some point and had already taken care of all his teammates.

"Enemy attack!"

The patrolling wizard was about to sound the alarm, but before he could do anything, a black-robed wizard appeared beside him like a ghost. A strong arm instantly broke through his magic barrier and smashed his head to pieces.

But just as the black-robed wizard withdrew his hand and wiped the brain off it.

The wizard whose head was smashed by him suddenly emitted a violent fluctuation of magic power. A ray of light emerged from his body and merged into the crystal spire of the city wall tower in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the magic alarm sounded, and special energy fluctuations instantly spread throughout the academy.

The entire city wall was instantly lit up, and teams of wizards walked out of the tower and quickly approached the spire where the alarm was sounded.

The black-robed wizard sighed and gestured to the team members behind him.

"The operation failed, prepare for a strong attack."

"Yes!"

The team members took out one-meter-long metal stakes from their pockets and thrust them into the ground.

The runes on the stake began to flicker, but by then the rescuing wizard had already found them.

boom!
A fireball as big as the sun exploded around the team, and the huge impact force instantly made several wizards vomit blood.

Even some of the piles on the ground were knocked down by the earthquake.

When the black-robed wizard saw this, he wanted to help him up, but he was blasted by the supporting wizard's spell and couldn't move his hands.

The runes on the metal stakes were quickly charged, and more than fifty stakes were driven into the city wall. However, due to the aftermath of the spell, there were still more than twenty stakes left in place.

After the remaining twenty or so piles were fully charged, a subtle connection was established. They began to vibrate slightly, and the frequency of the vibration was the same.

The next moment, a huge cracking sound was heard by every wizard present.

A piece of the towering wall built by the Black Tower Wizard Academy was actually shattered, and a huge crack continued to spread, eventually splitting the wall.

And these twenty or so piles also turned into a pile of metal powder in the resonance.

Seeing that things were not going well, the supporting wizard shot out another beam of light.

The top of the crystal tower that received the light beam suddenly turned blood red, and a shrill voice instantly spread throughout the academy.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Outside the city wall, the well-prepared wizards of the Meteorite Academy began to flow into the Black Tower Wizard Academy through the cracks in the city wall.

The war has begun!

……

The Black Tower Wizarding Academy armed itself like a turtle with thorns, but the Meteoric Star Wizarding Academy did not do the same.

As the initiator of the war, the Meteoric Wizard Academy also transformed the academy, but it was still far behind the Black Tower Wizard Academy. A large number of wizard patrols replaced the towering walls, and they and the sensitive synthetic beasts protected the safety of the academy.

……

On the hills outside Meteorite Academy, a team of wizards holding lanterns were patrolling along a predetermined route.

"Really? You said that the wizards at the Black Tower Wizarding Academy have decided to use the tortoise shell tactics. Why are we still patrolling?" complained a patrolling wizard.

The wizard's robe was brand new, and there was no murderous aura on his body. There was even a hint of "immaturity" between his brows, and one could tell at first glance that he was a wizard who had never been on a battlefield.

"That's right. The patrols are so tight. Could it be that those cowardly wizards from the Black Tower sent people to launch a surprise attack on us?" another patrolling wizard continued.

He is as immature as the person who complains, but he is older than the person who complains.

Seeing his teammates complain, another wizard said, "It's really cold in this damn place. Patrolling outside doesn't bring any benefits. It's really a waste of suffering."

"That's right." A wizard echoed.

Seeing that the team was showing signs of disorder, the patrol captain suddenly turned around and a cold voice instantly reached the ears of the complaining team members.

"Stop complaining, you've complained enough along the way.

If I hear you complain again, you will all be caned when you return home."

The captain is the only wizard in the team who has been on the battlefield. Compared with his teammates, he is as silent as a stone.

Hearing the captain's scolding, the team members fell silent.

They knew that the captain was a man of his words, and if they complained again, he would make them receive a caning.

The wizard's whipping is different from ordinary whipping. It is the soul that is punished by the wizard's whipping. Every whip is equivalent to adjusting the spell model.

They don't want to try that horrible taste.

The patrol team passed by a dead forest. There was a thick layer of fallen leaves in the forest, and people walking on it felt like they were walking on a mat.

Suddenly, the captain stopped.

He held the lantern forward, and its soft light instantly dispelled a large area of ​​darkness.

The lanterns carried by the patrol were all magic lanterns. In addition to their function of providing illumination, they also served as a crude way to prevent sneak attacks from shadow spells.

The reason why shadow spells are hidden is that shadows are very common, but if the shadows are dispelled, the shadow spell will be as invisible as a black spot on a white paper.

The team members all looked towards the place illuminated by the captain's lantern. In the area illuminated by the light, there were two deep depressions in the fallen leaves.

The depression looked like a footprint, but the patrolling wizards were sure that all the large creatures around the academy had been cleared out by them, just to prevent someone from using Transfiguration to sneak into the academy.

So how did this depression come about?

The patrol captain's face was solemn, and his mental power suddenly expanded to the limit, trying to find a similar depression again.

But he found nothing.

"Am I overthinking?" the patrol captain thought to himself.

He took back the lantern and was about to move on.

But the synthetic beast he was holding suddenly fell to the ground.

"what's the situation?"

A layer of magic barrier suddenly popped out from the captain's body, and the staff in his hand was ready to go.

A strong sense of danger surged into his heart.

As a wizard who had experienced war, his intuition was always accurate.

But this time, no matter how accurate his intuition was, it was of no use.

A faint smell of blood entered the captain's nostrils. A terrible thought flashed through his mind and he turned back with some trembling.

Behind him, a huge steel giant stood holding the wizard who was complaining about patrolling just now. And all his team members fell to the ground with sunken heads.

Someone's neck was broken and blood was flowing out from the broken neck. It was the same bloody smell he had smelled just now.

"Enemy attack!"

The patrol captain immediately sounded the alarm.

But before he could do anything, he saw the steel giant walking silently towards him.

Then a steel fist filled his entire field of vision.

boom!
……

After dealing with the patrol, the Iron Giant began to clean up the battlefield.

Because he was so careful, the battle left almost no traces.

Simply clearing away the fallen leaves stained with blood and brain matter, the Iron Giant piled the bodies into a pile, and then said respectfully to Lin Zi:
"My Lord, the cleaning is complete."

In the forest, a black-robed wizard emerged from the fallen leaves with a hint of excitement on his face.

This person is Richard who sneaked into the Meteoric Wizard Academy.

It is now the 30th day since the war began. Under the attack of the Meteorite Wizarding Academy, the Black Tower Wizarding Academy has lost several defensive spires.

A hole had been opened in the academy's iron wall of defense, and the Meteoric Wizard Academy was still sending more troops to expand the gap.

To this end, the command ordered all the wizards who had sneaked into the rear of the Meteorite Wizard Academy to take action.

It is imperative to attract part of the Meteorite Wizard Academy's forces to the rear, thereby alleviating some of the pressure on the front line.

Richard patted the Iron Giant and praised him, "Nice technique, very neat and tidy."

Then he came to the pile of corpses and took away all the magic clothes and magic pockets from the wizards.

Richard burned their bodies on the spot.

Richard pointed at the corpse, and a stream of incandescent flames "flowed out" from his fingertips, burning the corpse on the ground to ashes. In the process, the fallen leaves under the corpse were not ignited, leaving only a few charred marks.

Richard waved his hand, and a breeze blew the charred leaves deep into the forest.

Looking at the brightly lit tower a few kilometers away, Richard raised his hand and said softly
"Come on, let's keep moving forward."
