The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 460 Battlefield Life
The appearance of the Mayfly Gem made this war more meaningful to Richard.

The steps to make mayfly gems are not complicated. You only need to collect enough mayfly corpses and extract the body fluids from the corpses. Then, concentrate and solidify the body fluids, and finally introduce the power of the stars to transform them.

Even a first-level wizard can complete this entire process accurately and effortlessly.

However, Richard noticed that the alchemy array used to make this gem was a little strange. The alchemy array used for the final transformation was not complicated, but the technology provided by Mayfly used a three-dimensional alchemy array.

This behavior is very much like reverse technological adaptation, which is to display the technology of other civilizations using the technology of one's own civilization.

This gave Richard a guess.

It’s not that these mayflies don’t have things similar to alchemical machinery, but for some reason, these things have never been released into the galaxy world.

The mayflies being released now are more of a test.

Richard reported the discovery to the headquarters, which gave him positive feedback but did not give him any additional credit.

It seems that the command has long known that Galaxy Mayfly has this technology.

On the third day after Richard arrived at Fort 394, he faced the first mayfly attack since taking over as commander of the fort.

boom!
The sound of explosions in the distance instantly put the wizards in the fortress into combat mode.

Five kilometers away from the fortress, a red firework exploded in the sky. And after it, new fireworks kept exploding in the sky.

Richard stood on the edge of the fortress, looking at the fireworks in the distance, and muttered to himself: "It seems that the booby trap is quite effective."

These fireworks were alchemical explosives mixed with a lot of metal fragments by Richard. They were divided into small portions by Richard and put into a special metal container.

On the metal container, the Salamander craftsmen used dragon alchemy to engrave tree patterns for optical invisibility and a simple trigger detonator.

These specially made booby traps were suspended in the air by the wizard using a spell called Ring of Wind.

This spell is very long-lasting, and the booby trap is not heavy, so one casting of the spell can keep the booby trap suspended for twelve hours.

Moreover, after this spell is cast, there is no energy fluctuation. If it were not for its lack of lethality, this spell would definitely be one of the best trap spells to deal with Galaxy Mayflies.

The explosion of the booby trap gave the wizard time to react.

More than a thousand wizards entered the turret in an orderly manner, ready to fight against the attacking mayflies.

But this time is different. This time, Fortress No. 394 not only has a powerful commander, but also a group of fire lizard warriors among their comrades.

With the wizards in place, the mental network between the wizards began to be built.

To be honest, this is the first time that Mira has used a telepathic link with an alien. In the past, she usually used mind control, mental shock, or witchcraft such as soul storm to deal with aliens.

This was the first time she had a mind connection, and she didn't know if it would be successful.

Although it was irresponsible to think so, Mira still hoped that there would be problems with the mind link, isolating these aliens from the mind network.

Once connected to the mind network, their inner thoughts will be transmitted along the mind network.

Mira couldn't imagine how much curses and abuse there would be in the mind network if she was connected to it, given the aliens' hatred for wizards.

But reality made her idea come to nothing - the mental network successfully connected to the fire lizard.

But to Mira's surprise, the Salamander's mental network was very quiet.

There was no cursing, no abuse, and no groveling. The Salamander's mental network was like a black hole, with no thoughts leaking out.

"Can you hear the order?" Mira couldn't help but ask.

She had never encountered such a situation before. This group of fire lizards seemed not to be living beings, but mechanical puppets disguised as aliens.

"I can hear you." the company commander replied.

After the response, the mental network returned to silence again.

Mira controlled herself from complaining about these aliens. Although the Salamander warriors' reactions were a little abnormal, as long as they could hear the orders, it was fine.

Soon, the army of mayflies approached.

This was a group of emerald green mayflies, numbering 200,000. Their bodies were like emeralds, and as they flew, a faint fragrance entered Richard's nostrils.

Richard ordered in the mental network: "Hold your breath, activate protection, there is poisonous gas in the air."

He opened his energy vision and saw a layer of hazy energy mist in the air, like a green river, flowing slowly but unstoppably towards the fortress.

Richard's order was quickly responded to, and the wizards began to cast a magic barrier and hold their breath. The fire lizards' eyes suddenly brightened, which was a sign that they were actively stimulating the dragon blood.

Richard stood in the emerald green ocean, neither holding his breath nor putting up an energy barrier.

On the contrary, his body suddenly expanded, and the emerald green energy mist was sucked into his body like rivers returning to the sea.

These energy mists are nothing more than some special energies mixed with some toxic substances.

For Richard, neither of these two options worked for him.

His strong physique and ability to control radiation made the energy mist an excellent nutrient for his body.

The wizards of the fortress saw that their new commander was expanding as if inflated. The energy flow in the air indicated that the toxic mist they needed to resist was being continuously absorbed by Richard.

"These toxic energies have no effect on him?" a shapeshifting wizard thought in shock.

"So strong!"

"Is this the strength of a top dark wizard?" Exclamations echoed in the mental network, except for the Salamander's mental network which remained silent.

They knew too well the strength of the man who led them.

In the training of the Salamanders, Hogg often served as a sparring partner. With his strong physique, Hogg could easily deal with a team of Salamanders.

But such a powerful Hogg is like a pet in Richard's hands.

They had seen Richard training his abilities and experimenting with his magic in the secret realm. Those horrific scenes had deeply shocked every member of the Salamanders.

They initially thought it was a deterrent, but later they discovered.

That was just Richard's daily routine.

People like them don't need Richard's intimidation.

The army of mayflies was getting closer. Richard made a gesture, and then thousands of thunders streaked across the sky.

The silvery-white lightning almost lit up half the sky.

These lightning bolts are connected to each other, weaving an insurmountable net of thunder in the air.

Faced with this scene, the mayfly army instantly deployed a defensive formation.

The layered mayfly structure firmly protects General Mayfly in the center.

This is a very safe approach. It can be seen that this mayfly general is an experienced mayfly.

General Mayfly stared at the giant Richard through the layers of mayflies. When their eyes met, General Mayfly saw a hint of mockery in Richard's eyes.

The next moment, a pitch-black ferocious beast burning with black flames emerged from the void and fiercely tore off a piece of the mayfly ball formed by the army of mayflies.

At the same time, the wizards who were replaced by the fire lizards in the fortress waved their staffs at the same time.

Under Mira's command, a small legion spell appeared in the air.

"Cloud-piercing arrow!"

The next moment, the violent wind element followed the big hole torn by Ulysses and tore the mayflies that wanted to be replenished later into pieces.

At the same time, a brilliant aurora followed the cloud-piercing arrow and pierced through the core of the mayfly swarm.

Richard stood opposite the swarm of mayflies and slowly retracted his fist. He ignored the remaining swarm of mayflies. These little guys were not something he needed to deal with.

The wizards in the fortress were shocked as they watched Richard slowly fall to the ground. Although they had seen Richard beheaded once before, such a quick and clean battle still made them feel a sense of capable beauty.

Precise coordination, simple and efficient means, the essence of the fighting styles of the black wizard and the white wizard, two wizards with completely different fighting styles, actually appeared at the same time in one battle, on the same wizard.

This gave many wizards present a feeling.

Perhaps this will be the combat mode of future wizards.

After beheading General Mayfly, the remaining mayflies, under the command of Captain Mayfly, retreated in the direction they came from.

The wizards took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, reducing the mayfly army of 200,000 to nearly 100,000.

This group of mayflies were very experienced in combat. After General Mayfly was beheaded, their retreat was very orderly and their cooperation with each other was seamless.

This phenomenon made the pursuing wizard's heart skip a beat.

The eliteization of mayflies is not a good thing.

They only hoped that these mayflies were elites trained on the battlefield, rather than veteran mayflies dropped in. Otherwise, they could only pray that the wizarding world would regain control of the astral air as soon as possible.

……

Reinforcements from the headquarters arrived a month after Richard arrived at Fortress 394, totaling five hundred wizards and ten thousand slaves.

These slaves are humanoid creatures named by wizards as magic pigmen, but they are taller in size and lower in intelligence than normal people. Through simple brainwashing, the magic pigmen become loyal slaves of wizards.

With enough slaves, Fortress No. 394 immediately became impregnable.

A swarm of mayflies with a number less than 400,000 would not even dare to attack the fortress and could only move over the mountains.

As time goes by, Richard is gradually becoming familiar with and adapting to the civilized battlefield.

In one year, Richard saw more than ten subspecies of mayflies. Some of these subspecies were powerful, some had strange abilities, and some were extremely cunning. With their training, Richard gradually became proficient in the frontal battlefield.

Now Richard can even give rough command to the White Wizard Legion.

Boom!

The huge spear of light pierced through the Mayfly's defense, and then a brilliant aurora followed the gap in the Mayfly's defense, turning the core Mayfly General into nothingness.

Seeing this, the remaining two Mayfly generals immediately began to gather their remnants and retreat.

The mayflies who lost their general's command did not panic. They joined the mayfly army beside them in an orderly manner. Those who could not join launched a suicidal attack on the wizard.

Within three minutes, the invading mayflies safely withdrew from the attack range of Fortress No. 394.

Richard stood in the air, looking at the retreating mayflies, a trace of solemnity flashed across his face.

These mayflies are becoming more sophisticated.
