The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 321 The counterattack begins

"Counterattack? The academy still has the strength to counterattack?"

After hearing what Joe Lord said, Richard said with some surprise.

If a counterattack is possible, then the Black Tower Wizarding Academy should not be left with only an inner circle.

"Oh, it was just forced together." Joe Lord sighed and took Richard into the laboratory.

Sitting behind the desk, Qiao Luode rubbed his temples with a headache.

“This counterattack was not requested by us, but by the dean.

When we were fighting the college war, the dean and the great wizard Meteorite mediated with the participation of several great wizards.

Now the two sides have basically reached an agreement, but there are still some differences on some terms.

Naturally, the two great wizards would not give in to each other, so the content of these terms naturally turned into a gamble.

The dean has already said that as long as we recover two-thirds of the commercial area, or an equivalent area of ​​land, and occupy it for more than seven days, without losing more than two-thirds of the land in the inner ring.

He wins this bet.

This is also our goal.”

Richard listened and sighed.

This is really a fight between gods, and mortals suffer. The quarrels between great wizards can cost the lives of thousands of small wizards.

"What is the reward offered by the dean?" Richard asked.

Joe Lord took out a soul contract and handed it to Richard across the desk.

"If this bet is successful, all wizards participating in this war will receive a direct reward of 2,000 magic essences. In addition to this, the four worlds under the dean will also be open to all wizards for half a year, and the slaves and resources in them will be available to wizards at will.

As the vanguard of the counterattack, as long as you can complete the gamble, the dean's treasure trove will be open to you.

You can take three of these items.

And the dean will also give you a secret realm fragment with an area of ​​10 square kilometers as a reward."

After hearing the reward, Richard's heart skipped a beat.

"The dean is going to bleed profusely."

"Heavy bleeding?" Qiao Luode shook his head, "These things can't be called heavy bleeding, at most it's just a little pain in the flesh.

Moreover, there are 50,000 wizards participating in the war this time, more than 9,000 of whom have died, and the soul boxes of nearly 30,000 have been destroyed.

It would be fine if this was a plane expedition, but this is a fight with our own people, and the reason is so ridiculous.

If you don't give more money, people's hearts will fall apart.

The wizards participating in the battle this time are all our own people. They are the core members of the Black Tower Wizarding Academy.

If some of you become big names in the future and you can be named honorary alumni, it will be worth spending any amount of money now."

Richard listened thoughtfully: "It seems that the Great Wizard of Meteorite is going to bleed a lot. He initiated the school war and summoned so many wizards.

This time he might have to spend money on a plane expedition."

Qiao Luode spread his hands and said, "Then it has nothing to do with us."

Richard read the contract carefully and signed it after confirming that there were no incorrect clauses.

As the contract turned into flames and disappeared into the air, the atmosphere between the master and the disciple became relaxed.

Qiao Luode got up and brewed a pot of magic tea, and asked casually:
"How are those synthetic beasts I made? Are they easy to use?"

Richard nodded: "Teacher's craftsmanship is indeed superb. That dragon beast is perfect as a mount."

Joe Lord took the teapot and returned to his chair.

"I'm glad you're satisfied, but I'm curious about what you're planning to do. Alien slaves are fine as cannon fodder.

But if it is used by soldiers, it is still far from enough.”

Richard smiled. Although Joelod had gotten rid of some of his prejudice against the indigenous aliens because of the dragon beast incident.

But as an old wizard, he still looked down on those aliens from the bottom of his heart.

"Teacher, wait a moment. I'll go downstairs and call Makar up."

Joe Lord looked at Richard with interest. His student always had some strange ideas in his head. He wondered what kind of surprise Richard could bring him this time.

Soon, Qiaoluode saw a steel giant over three meters tall bending down and walking into his laboratory.

Joe Lord looked at the iron giant and his face froze slightly.

As a flesh-and-blood alchemical wizard, he did not like this kind of purely alchemical mechanical golem.

The Flesh Golem is the best golem!
Qiao Luode said unhappily, "Is this the golem you made? It looks much stronger than the previous one you made."

Richard smiled slightly and asked Makar to release the closed mode.

In an instant, a life radiation from a level three creature emanated from the armor, instantly making Qiao Luode's body tense.

He didn't expect that the "golem" in front of him was actually a fire lizard wearing armor.

"This is such a big surprise," Joe Lord exclaimed.

He knew that Richard had a level three fire lizard as a soul slave, and it was precisely because of this that he recommended Richard as an external wizard before the war began.

But he didn't expect that Richard would design a complete set of armor for such a level three creature.

Moreover, this set of armor could actually evade his perception.

Richard pulled a large metal shield from his pocket and had Makar equip it.

"Teacher, do you want to try the strength of this shield?"

As an old wizard, Joe Lord gave up the idea of ​​breaking through the thick shield at the first sight.

"These things... I haven't taught you."

Richard laughed and said, “These things are the masterpieces of the fire lizards under my command.

Even this set of armor, a considerable part of it was designed by those fire lizard craftsmen. Teacher, think about it, equipped with these things, are the natives really weaker than the wizards? "

"Then why don't you equip the wizards with these things?" Qiao Luode asked subconsciously.

"Because it's not necessary." Richard said calmly, "A fireball with a 500-level energy can kill people, and a fireball with a 1,000-level energy can also kill people.

For a fireball with 400 energy levels, a 100-level increase is a qualitative change. But for a fireball with 1,000 energy levels, it doesn't matter whether the 100-level increase is added or not.

Anyway, the opponents we face are all beings that can be killed with a power level of 500."

Joe Lord was stunned for a moment. What Richard said did make sense.

The real significance of equipment is not how much combat power is improved, but to elevate an alien slave to the level of a wizard.

If this can be implemented, the speed at which wizards conquer other worlds will be greatly accelerated.

But soon Qiaoluode's face turned into one of horror.

He panicked and cast a silencing spell and an anti-snooping spell.

Then he said to Richard seriously:

"Listen carefully, Richard, this thing must not be exposed before you become a great wizard.

You are destroying the jobs of thousands of wizards!"

Richard was somewhat puzzled by Qiao Luo's reaction.

His idea was still in the draft stage. Although there was a prototype of the Mechanic Type 1, there was still a long way to go before the armor could be mass-produced.

"Teacher, what do you mean by that?"

Qiao Luode said anxiously: "Think about it carefully. If you want to make money with a slave army like yours, it must be cheaper than recruiting wizards. But if you are cheaper, the great wizards will definitely tend to use slave armies, thereby reducing the recruitment of wizards.

If you do this, the third and second ring wizards may not be affected much, but the first ring wizards will definitely suffer a major impact.

If these wizards don't lower their prices to lower than the slave army, the great wizard will never hire them.

Once this situation starts, it will become a vicious cycle. One-ring wizards are the most common wizards in the wizarding world!

Then you can just wait to be cursed by the cursed wizard all day long."

After listening to Joe Lord's explanation, Richard broke out in a cold sweat.

He really didn't think that much.

But why does this sound so familiar? This seems to be the way to transfer labor costs.

Richard threw aside the messy thoughts in his head, smiled bitterly and said to Joe Lord:

"Teacher, you think too far ahead. I haven't thought that far.

But teacher, you are right. My idea is indeed a bit dangerous."

Qiao Luode looked helpless when he heard this. This surprise was a little too big.

"Forget it, let's change the subject. How many level three slaves did you bring this time? I'll see the equipment you gave them. If there are two or three of them, our battle will be secure."

Richard said confidently: "Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely bring enough this time."

……

The time for the counterattack was tentatively set for seven days later. During this time, Richard met with several of his fellow disciples and Ellie.

Among these people, except for a senior sister who had only met Richard once, the others were all fine. Even the youngest and weakest Ye Lina only had two broken legs.

Joe Lord and Susanna arranged the battlefields that were most suitable for them. Unless they were extremely unlucky, they would basically not die.

During these days, Richard also made specialized modifications to the armor of the witch hunting team to make it more suitable for the upcoming battlefield.

Soon, it was late at night on the seventh day.

There is no moon in the sky tonight, and the bright stars are slowly moving in the sky.

The Black Tower Academy's counterattack army gathered silently at a point in the inner circle.

The wizards of Meteorite Academy also knew that Black Tower Academy was about to launch a counterattack, so almost all of them came to the front line.

The patrolling wizards and the reconnaissance pets have a clear view of the entire front line.

Meteorite Academy has not been idle over the years. Their front line has also built a tight defense line based on the ruins left by Black Tower Academy.

Although these lines of defense are very weak compared to the inner ring of Black Tower Academy, as a line of defense, it has achieved its purpose - causing Black Tower Academy some headaches.

There are a large number of wizards in the Meteorite Academy. If they cannot break through this line of defense quickly, all that awaits them is a shameful retreat.

And this, this is also the purpose of Richard's existence.

Richard's witch hunting team can act as the vanguard and quickly tear through the defenses of Meteorite Academy.

Richard held the mithril staff and looked quietly at the pocket watch in his hand.

The time for the counterattack is 12:10. Before that, there will be several wizards making feint attacks to attract firepower for them and minimize the obstacles for them to break through the defense line.

Rumble!
There was a noise coming from the Meteorite Academy position in the distance.

A huge alarm immediately resounded throughout the outer ring of Black Tower Academy.

Richard quietly looked at the wizards on the defense line. He saw that many wizards were rushing to the battle area.

Not long after, the alarm sounded again, and this time another group of wizards were mobilized to leave.

Richard glanced at the pocket watch in his hand. At this moment, the pointer had reached twelve nine, and the second hand was jumping towards twelve little by little.

Richard looked at the second hand and counted silently in his mind:

"five four three two one!"

He raised his head suddenly and ordered the witch hunting team around him:

"action!"
