The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 453 Defending the Fortress
Fort 192.

Richard held the dark golden World Tree Staff and smashed the wizard's head in front of him with a heavy face.

A layer of soft holy light covered his entire body. The mental attacks from the mayfly were like waves hitting rocks in front of this layer of holy light. They were completely useless.

Divine Protection, one of the advanced divine arts mastered by Ulysses.

This magic can consume a large amount of faith power to cover the target with a three-defense barrier, that is, physical attack, energy attack, and mental attack, a triple protection.

It is an excellent defensive magic.

"How many have been killed?" Richard asked casually.

Beside him, Ulises' eyes were gleaming as he kept checking the surroundings.

"Three hundred and two. These mayflies seem to be forming an array. We'd better hurry."

Richard frowned slightly, then opened the crack in the secret realm. Then, a snake king several dozen meters long crawled out of the crack.

"Haha, you finally want me to take action?"

The snake king spit out his tongue excitedly. Through the pheromones in the air, he could clearly sense that there were many terrified lives under the fortress.

"Everyone can be killed except Rico," Richard said expressionlessly.

In the previous battle, he had confirmed that all the wizards in the fortress were parasitized. The parasitic ability of this mayfly was extremely strong, and even undead wizards could be parasitized.

Judging from Richard's knowledge, this mayfly did not actually devour the wizard's personality. Instead, it used a method similar to an illusion to make the wizard fall into hallucination.

That's why wizards act so naturally.

I have to say that this method is very clever.

With this method, the wizards' actions were completely normal, and even if companions who lived with these wizards day and night came, they would not be able to find any flaws.

And these mayflies are smart enough to do a check.

This makes wizards relax their vigilance even if they know of the existence of parasitic mayflies.

Weird, cunning, and hard to guard against, the abilities displayed by the Galaxy Mayfly are completely worthy of the word civilization.

The Snake King advanced along the passage into the depths of the fortress, while Richard went straight to the fortress's warehouse.

The military has always been very balanced when preparing supplies. This mode of supply distribution allows the fortress to respond to various emergencies, but it can also put the fortress in a strange state.

That is, on one hand, there is a shortage of supplies, while on the other hand, the excess supplies can only be thrown into warehouses.

Many of the materials piled up in the warehouse were dangerous goods. If they were used by these mayflies, the fortress might not be able to be saved.

hum!
A powerful mental shock came again.

The holy light on Richard's body flickered slightly, eliminating the attack, and his eyes instantly locked onto the source of the attack.

boom!
Richard's figure suddenly appeared behind a wizard, and the World Tree Staff smashed the wizard's head in an instant with a whistling sound.

However, before Richard could move forward, the voice of the Snake King suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Sir, the Rico you mentioned seems to be controlled by these mayflies."

……

Rico felt like he was going numb.

He was just being lazy and taking a nap, how could such a powerful mayfly break in?

Looking at the "mayfly subspecies" in front of him that looked like a long dragon, Rico felt that the most dangerous moment of this war had arrived.

He could sense that this subspecies of mayfly had crossed some kind of limit.

Without the assistance of the White Wizard Legion, it would only take a few seconds for this mayfly subspecies to kill him.

"Sir, the legion's augmentation is in place."

Behind him, several old wizards from the legion formed an array that he could not understand.

This array is actually three-dimensional.

He had never seen this kind of military formation before, and he didn't know where these old wizards learned it.

But no matter what, now that the amplification is in place, all that remains is to kill these mayflies, or at the very least, expel them.

After stopping his muttering in his mind, Rico looked at the snake king in front of him. His body suddenly swelled up and turned into a giant about three meters tall.

With the enhancement of the mayfly, Rico's mental strength and magic power reached a new height.

The magic power he consumes will be replenished by Mayfly through the energy network, and the mental power he consumes can also be replenished through the mind network.

While amplifying Rico, these mayflies themselves were also taking action.

At this moment, the complex terrain of the fortress is no longer an obstacle to the mayfly, but even becomes a help to it.

dong dong dong...

Dense runes flashed on Rico's giant body. He charged at the snake king with great strides, advancing forward like a charging tank.

During this process, Rico's arm suddenly deformed in the air. Muscles moved, bones grew, and within a breath, his right arm turned into a heavy hammer.

The runes on his body actually turned into rune arrays at this moment, amplifying his deformed arm just like a magic suit.

boom!
Rico swung the hammer violently, and the light of the rune, with tremendous force, poured down on the snake king's head with a loud bang.

The snake king was stunned by the hammer, and the huge force even made him a little dizzy - but it was just dizziness.

The scales on his forehead shone with a subtle golden light, and a groove slowly recovered in the golden light. Rico's powerful blow did not even break the snake king's scales.

The snake king stuck out his tongue and stared at Rico with his eyes as bright as the sun.

"Keep him alive."

Richard's reply brought a human smile to the Snake King's face.

The next moment, a series of fine "rustling" sounds came along the tunnel into the ears of several mayflies.

"What's happening here?"

A few mayflies had a bad feeling in their minds. Just now, some of their mental network nodes suddenly disappeared. This meant that their companions were dead.

Before these people died, they left a nonsensical sentence in the mental network.

"Snakes! Lots of snakes!"

The mayflies were confused by this sentence. They knew what snakes were. But the entire galaxy world had been transformed into a battlefield by wizards, and all the monsters had been eliminated. How could there be snakes?

……

A tide of snakes emerged from the scales on the snake king's tail and followed the passages of the fortress, searching for the hidden parasitic mayflies.

This is one of the abilities of the Snake King after he broke through the limits of mortals, and he can simulate a group of snakes with his own flesh and blood.

These snakes were all species that the snake king had once led in the poisonous swamp. In terms of toxicity, each of these venomous snakes was an excellent biological weapon.

Moreover, these poisonous snakes have inherited the physique of the snake king, which makes ordinary spells basically ineffective against them.

Even though the parasitic mayflies controlled the wizards to use spells to fight back, the tidal wave of snakes still quickly engulfed them.

Richard flew over the heads of the snakes, and it was no big deal that Rico was controlled.

In other words, Richard had anticipated this.

Rico was secretly sidelined by Mayfly, so it was not surprising that he was controlled by Mayfly.

boom!
Richard kicked open an enchanted metal door.

Then, Richard saw several wizards moving materials in the warehouse.

Without saying anything, Richard flashed and wielded the staff in his hand, which carried tremendous force, like a mountain falling down on one's head, smashing the wizards into pulp.

After Richard handed over the Heart of the Mountain rune to the Golden Gear Society, he optimized the rune array of the World Tree Staff under the guidance of an old wizard, making the effect of the Heart of the Mountain even more outstanding.

He is now using the staff with all his strength, and its power has even reached the level of ten thousand.

Ordinary wizards can't stop it at all.

Glancing at the materials they were carrying, Richard broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

"Why does the military send everything down?"

These aliens were carrying a potent alchemical potion called the Wrath of the Sun God by alchemists. Just one test tube of this thing could cause a thousand-level explosion.

The wrath of the sun god carried by several wizards was five large jars. If these things were placed in the right place, the main structure of the entire fortress would be destroyed.

After putting away the bottles of medicine, Richard walked around the entire warehouse.

During this time, he killed several wizards who attempted to launch a sneak attack.

But unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, even a sneak attack, these mayflies couldn't hurt Richard at all.

After ensuring the safety of the warehouse, Richard flew to the top of the fortress.

If nothing unexpected happens, a swarm of mayflies is probably rushing towards the fortress right now.

He had to organize the Salamander warriors to delay time for a short while.

As long as he waits for the war airship sent by the theater command to arrive, he can escape even if the fortress cannot be defended.

If he can hold it, the achievement of defending the fortress will be recorded in his military merit book.

Military merit is extremely important.

Arriving at the top platform of the fortress, we saw a dense swarm of mayflies in the distance approaching the fortress.

"Wow, there are so many people coming."

Richard looked at the rapidly approaching swarm of mayflies and immediately began to fight the Radiant Giant.

These mayfly swarms number roughly around 600,000, of which there are only three mayfly generals.

The mayfly swarms were roughly separated according to different subspecies and generals, but there were some subtle connections between them. A black mass flew over, like a swarm of locusts or a sandstorm.

Ulysses opened a rift in the secret realm beside Richard, and the Salamander warriors poured out of the secret realm, with golden light in their eyes as bright as a furnace.

"Go up to the artillery position and stop the enemy."

Richard's voice echoed on the top of the fortress. The Salamanders who heard it had fanatical smiles on their faces and quickly entered the artillery position set up on the top of the fortress.

Before joining the war, Richard gave these Salamander warriors a period of training in the operation of alchemical weapons.

After all, the wizards were on the defensive in the battlefield they were about to go to. And with the financial resources of the military, there would be plenty of alchemical weapons, not shortage.

There are only 500 Salamanders, so there are only 250 turrets that can be used.

But it's enough to clean up the fish that slipped through the net.

Ulysses and Richard flew into the sky at the same time. Ulysses was covered in blue-black flames. His huge figure even made Richard, who was five meters tall, look very petite.

"Gah! This form is so comfortable!"

Ulysses let out a joyful cry, as clear as the horse bell of the god of death.

"Don't be so cocky," Richard's voice rang in Ulises' ears, "these mayflies are taking action."

The mayflies in the distance naturally noticed the two creatures blocking Richard's way. After realizing their strength, their speed in approaching the fortress began to slow down, and their formation began to change rapidly.

In a moment, two mayfly shields blocked the core group of mayflies.

"Let them do it!" Ulysses said with great pride.

At this moment, he seemed to have become the Lord of Crows who once killed everyone on the civilized battlefield.

However, before he could finish his arrogance, he saw two mayfly shields open like eyelids, and an extremely complex mayfly array was exposed between heaven and earth.

If Richard had seen the military's records of the Mayfly Array, he would have recognized at this moment that the name of this array in the military's records was Sky Vision.

Its danger level is deep, which means extremely dangerous.

　The update will be delayed for a few days. I have a lot of things to do these two days╥﹏╥
