The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 457 Taking Office at the Fortress
The strength of the White Wizard Legion lies in two points. The first is the powerful lethality brought by concentrated spell shooting, and the second is the strong survivability provided by joint spell casting.

Through combined spellcasting, the elite legion of White Wizards can even survive the hands of the World Master.

However, joint casting requires extremely precise coordination. If there is even the slightest deviation, the effect of the joint casting will be much weaker.

The general White Wizard Corps usually only used spell concentration. When using joint casting, at most they would use a Corps Shield.

This device that enhances mental power allowed Richard to find a way to circumvent this difficulty.

By amplifying his mental power, he can command the energy of the entire Salamander Regiment by himself.

This method is a waste of waste in a normal white wizard army. After the mental power is amplified, although it can indeed allow wizards to control more energy, it also makes wizards lose the ability to control it finely.

This is like suddenly inserting the soul of a first-ring wizard into the body of a third-ring wizard. A first-ring wizard can only barely manipulate the body of a third-ring wizard, and it is impossible to control it as finely as a third-ring wizard.

Without the assistance of other wizards, a three-ring wizard cannot cast legion magic.

But Richard is different, he has the radiation control given to him by the radiation rules. He can use radiation control to make up for his lack of fine operation.

Although it is still difficult, it is not impossible for a three-ring wizard to release legion magic.

After making up his mind, Richard asked the wizard beside him, "Can this alchemical power armor be exchanged for military merits?"

Richard did not see this kind of alchemical power armor in the list provided by the logistics department.

"Of course, Master." The wizard who was asked smiled, "If you are willing, you can go to the logistics department to apply for a set of alchemical power armor now.

With Master's military exploits, it should be more than enough to exchange for a set of alchemical power armor. However, Master, you have to wait for a while, because alchemical power armor is custom-made.

Master, when you apply, you need to report your physical data and some spells that may affect the armor.

The alchemist in the logistics department will tailor a piece of armor based on your data and add some unique auxiliary functions."

As he spoke, the wizard opened his fingers, revealing his palm, in which was a very delicate alchemy array.

"I installed an alchemy array to assist me in the battle."

Richard nodded in surprise. The military's power armor and his were two different approaches. His was mass production, while the military's was high-quality.

Of the two, the former is more suitable for large-scale wars, while the latter is more suitable for combat and small-scale campaigns.

However, the military obviously had no intention of popularizing alchemical power armor, and this was an opportunity for him.

Richard can be sure that in the near future, alchemical power armor will become the mainstream magic armor on the battlefield.

As the tide of magic recedes, fewer and fewer wizards will be born in the wizarding world.

In other words, wizards will become more and more valuable. In the future, it is very likely that a wizard will lead a large number of alien slaves or synthetic beasts to fight against the galaxy mayflies.

At this time, the quality of the alien slaves becomes particularly important.

A set of alchemical power armor can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of alien slaves. With a little training, the combat effectiveness of alien slaves may not be weaker than that of wizards on the battlefield.

"After this war, the matter of the alien slave army will probably be brought to the table of the Parliament of Truth." Richard thought to himself.

Although this is a special case, it is undeniable that the number of wizards is indeed a big problem.

The total number of combat wizards in the military is only about six million. Although this number is sufficient in a plane war, it is still too small in a civilization war.

"Alas, if it were two thousand years later, the wizarding world would definitely not have the problems it has now."

……

Twenty kilometers away from Fort 394.

Richard used Eagle Vision to look at the fortress being besieged by a group of red mayflies, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Fort 384 is located at a pass in the Carroll Mountains, controlling the only exit through the Carroll Mountains.

Although it is possible for mayflies to fly directly over the mountains, the average height of the Carol Mountains is 5,000 meters, and the height of some areas even exceeds 8,000 meters.

Once the flight altitude exceeds three thousand meters, the concentration of free wind elements in unit space will increase rapidly.

The slightest disturbance could cause a violent storm.

Although this strong wind will not cause any harm to wizards and creatures such as galactic mayflies in the short term, this disturbance is enough to be detected by the wizard's detection equipment.

Therefore, Fortress No. 394 became the nail that Galaxy Mayfly had to pull out in order to cross the Carol Mountains.

This is also the biggest reason why Fort No. 394 suffered heavy losses.

"About two hundred thousand, okay."

Richard opened the rift in the secret realm and temporarily moved the disposable space box carrying supplies into the secret realm.

"Friend, please help me open the door." Richard said to the wizard beside him.

Hearing Richard's request, the escorting wizard was slightly stunned.

"What are you going to do? We'll be there in two minutes."

Richard smiled and said, "I plan to make a lasting impression on my new subordinate, quick."

squeak...

The hatch under Richard opened, and he held the World Tree Wand and flew like a meteor towards the swarm of mayflies besieging the fortress. At Fortress No. 394, Acting Commander Mira was struggling to maintain defense.

Because the fortress is located right at the pass, Fort No. 394 is somewhat different from ordinary fortresses.

Unlike the four main forts of ordinary forts, Fort 394 only has two sub-forts. The sub-forts and the main fort are connected to form a triangle, blocking the pass like a plug.

This design can be used to intercept mayflies when they try to force their way through the pass, but it is useless when there is a shortage of manpower.

Mira had to concentrate as many wizards as possible in the main castle and rely on intensive firepower to ensure that the fortress would not be breached.

As for the mayflies that passed through? Just let them go, as long as the fortress was not lost.

But even so, with her commander killed, she still found it difficult to defend against the impact of the Galaxy Mayflies.

The swarm of mayflies filled the sky like a giant net, completely covering the sky above the fortress. The rain-like energy rays put the magic barrier of each alchemical turret at a critical range, and it could be overloaded at any time.

Once the magic barrier is overloaded...

boom!
An alchemical turret burst out with a ball of faint blue light; its magic barrier finally overwhelmed and overloaded under the excessive attacks.

Then, a beam of energy dropped from the sky and melted the wizard operating the turret, along with the turret itself.

Without the protection of the magic barrier, the wizard's own energy barrier was simply unable to withstand such a massive attack.

Sensing the loss of the alchemical turret, a cloud of thick steam instantly erupted from Mira's head. The spells of the alchemical turret have their own uses and are linked to each other.

If one turret was destroyed, she would have to coordinate the turrets on top of the entire fortress.

This kind of calculation is not easy for a third-ring wizard. And for Mira, a second-ring wizard, it is naturally even more difficult. If she were not a wizard from the Soul School, her brain would be boiling at this moment.

But before she could pass on the order, she heard several loud noises.

Three more alchemical turrets were destroyed.

This almost made her cry.

How come she, a little wizard who had only fought in three plane wars, had become the acting commander now?
Suddenly, Mira noticed that Mayfly's attack suddenly became smaller.

She looked up and saw a brilliant aurora piercing through the defenses of the mayfly group, turning the protected mayfly general into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, a giant with thunder wrapped around his body rushed into the group of mayflies under the attack of a tidal wave.

In an instant, the thunder from the ground artillery was pulled by the giant, and a huge thunder net instantly wrapped up the mayfly.

Boom!

A team of war airships appeared from behind the giant. Three war airships sprayed out three thunder nets, instantly blocking the fleeing mayflies.

Thousands of white wizards poured out of the airship, waving their staffs in unison, as if they were one entity. The next moment, an invisible storm instantly swept in all the mayflies that had lost the command of General Mayfly.

The red slurry of limbs fell from the sky like a bloody rain.

After cleaning up the mess, the logistics team did not stay at Fortress No. 394 - Richard was the cargo they wanted to transport, and now that Richard had arrived, they naturally did not need to stop.

Richard stood on the top of the fortress and waved goodbye to the fleet, then he turned and looked at Mira beside him.

"Are you the acting commander?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Very good. Take me to familiarize myself with the fortress first. The command from the headquarters should have come down. I am your new commander, Richard."

Looking at the wizard in black robes in front of her, Mira felt her heart pounding.

Wizards always admire the strong, even white wizards are the same.

But when she heard Richard say that he was the commander, her heart suddenly stopped.

"Sir, are you the commander?"

Mira looked at the black robe on Richard. Wizards would not wear wizard robes alone. Richard was wearing a black robe, which meant that Richard was a dark wizard.

A dark wizard to be their commander?

"Of course." Richard smiled and said, "The command center has no extra troops for you, so we can only send them here to defend the place.

My fighting ability is pretty good, I can barely be used as a small group of white wizards."

Thinking back to Richard's power just now, Mira couldn't help swallowing.

This combat capability is more than just good?

With the strength of one person, he defeated an entire swarm of mayflies. This kind of combat power can almost be described as an army of one person.

But... since Richard is not a white wizard, she will probably have to continue to serve as the acting commander for some time.

Different professions have different worlds. The dark wizards had no systematic training and when they were in charge of the white wizard army, they made a mess of the situation.

Thinking of this, Mira's expression instantly drooped.

"Come on, my lord. I will first familiarize you with the fortress's weapons."
