The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 684: Legion of Heroes
Although Richard had simulated many battles before joining the war, he had "seen" them all, from simple to dangerous, from the world of elemental balance to the world of elemental imbalance.

But when he really arrived at the battlefield and looked at the symbols on the map representing human lives, Richard still felt a little nervous.

"Commander-in-chief, all personnel in Fortress Group No. 43 have been evacuated."

Next to the map, an old wizard reported to Richard who was observing the map.

"Yeah. I understand."

After that, Richard crossed out the location of the fortress group No. 43 on the map. On this map, there were so many such marks that they were connected into one piece.

Contrary to what the Mayfly King thought, Richard did not withdraw his line to guard the portal and then wait for the Mayflies to come and die.

The purpose of his retreat was simple: to preserve the living force and reorganize and train these wizards.

Although the wilderness world has no strategic value, no matter which side wins, it will not have any impact on the war situation. But for this reason, Richard plans to experiment with his idea.

Richard had the idea of ​​a mixed-breed corps a long time ago.

By mixing wizards and indigenous creatures, the problems of insufficient number of wizards and incomplete energy utilization can be made up.

It is a waste to define wizards as energy-shaping sorcery turrets, especially when the indigenous creatures can rely on alchemical magic equipment to release spell attacks that are no less powerful than the White Wizard Legion.

In Richard's opinion, the role of wizards should be as military priests. In war, wizards are responsible for providing various enhancements to the team, and when fighting is necessary, wizards can burst out with quite impressive combat power.

But this idea is based on the assumption that the wizard is an "old wizard" like Richard. As for the new wizards who are quickly trained, Richard doubts whether they have this ability.

But it just so happens that the wilderness world is an unimportant world, and Richard just happens to have a legion of heroes who are not afraid of death.

Even if his idea failed, it would have no impact on the battle situation, let alone on him personally.

Anyway, according to the information, the end of the world has already been set. If we can't defend it, we will retreat and explode this world.

Looking at the red cross on the map, Richard muttered to himself, "If the enemy is smart, he will definitely stretch the battle line. If he is smarter, he will definitely encircle the enemy while stretching the battle line."

On the map, if you zoom in on the area occupied by wizards and galaxy mayflies, it looks like a big mouth biting a ball.

But unfortunately, the wizard has a big mouth.

If the wizard had enough troops, he might be able to attack from both sides and make a big dumpling of the Galaxy Mayfly. But unfortunately, the wizard's troops had difficulty even maintaining the battle line.

Therefore, the salient parts on both wings must retreat.

"So he should be attacking from this position now."

As he spoke, Richard tapped the weak spots on both sides of his mouth. Then he moved his fingers to the center.

"He should attack here by force. Whether it is to stretch the front line or delay the troops, it is a good choice."

On the battlefield, the side with more people and resources often has more choices and can force the other side to make the choice it wants.

If they only rely on the troops left by the previous commander, then under this situation, it is almost inevitable to lose the 700,000 wizards in the north.

Unless Richard takes action, the wizards simply do not have enough troops to provide rescue.

But if Richard took action, the war would immediately escalate. As a great wizard who had only been promoted to the fifth ring for a few decades, Richard was not willing to show himself in the open.

The King of Mayflies is not a native, so even if he can shake people, it’s always better to be careful.

"Fortunately, I have enough troops on hand, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with."

As he was speaking, Richard's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in the square outside the headquarters.

As the defending party, although the wizards have the air supremacy in the astral world, they still chose to build the headquarters underground. Many important facilities including the portal, warehouse, and headquarters were all built underground.

In the square, convoys transporting supplies came and went without hesitation. The wild orcs, wizards, synthetic beasts, and some small clans had clear division of labor and worked in an orderly manner.

"Although there are some strategic problems, the previous president was still good at management." Richard said to himself.

Arriving at the broadcasting room, Richard spoke into the microphone: "Attention everyone, attention everyone. All workers in the square stop working immediately and take your tools and temporarily leave the square. I repeat, all workers in the square stop working immediately and take your tools and temporarily leave the square."

The order on the radio made everyone in the square look stunned, not understanding what kind of order it was. But what was said on the radio must be true, so the staff just had to follow it.

Ten minutes later the square was cleared, and there was nothing but wheel tracks on the huge square that was large enough to be used as an airship field.

Richard nodded in satisfaction, and then holy light began to appear on his body. He slowly rose into the sky, like the rising sun.

Under the holy light, the heroic warriors gradually "emerged" from the holy light. In just a few moments, a legion of nearly 500,000 heroic warriors appeared.

Richard slowly descended from the sky and returned to the headquarters. The many wizards in the headquarters had naturally noticed the big scene created by their commander-in-chief.

"My Lord, what are these?" an old wizard asked. "Legions," Richard said calmly, "Give them numbers and equip them with weapons and equipment... No, I think the equipment in stock is not enough."

"Not enough?" The old wizard was surprised. "Sir, I think you must have remembered the data wrong. We can store at least 5 million followers in our warehouse."

"Yeah, I know." Richard nodded calmly, "But I have 20 million such soldiers."

"…20 million?"

There was something real about the old wizard's voice. He was an old wizard, a real old wizard. He was nearly five thousand years old, even older than Richard.

He thought he was well-informed and had seen all kinds of mysterious abilities. Even the methods of great wizards would surprise him.

But now, he was somewhat speechless.

He believed that Richard had not lied to him, so Richard was really capable of creating a 20 million-man army. Regardless of whether these 20 million were cannon fodder, the fact that he could create a 20 million-man army out of thin air was enough to subvert his cognition.

"Ask the logistics department to send another five million worth of equipment... No, I'll give you a list later, and you can ask for the items on the list. Tell them to hurry up.

In addition, notify the 94th, 96th, and fortress groups at the junction of the northern salient and ask them to be prepared to hold on."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

"By the way, you are the one who always reports the news recently. What's your name?"

"Abel Frederick."

"Very good, Abel, you will be my secretary from now on."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Under Abel's arrangement, the numbers of the Heroic Legion were quickly determined and the equipment was quickly replenished. The warriors of the Heroic Legion had used the alchemical weapons of the wizard civilization in the world of the four-eyed people, so they were naturally familiar with using them again now.

Li found the commander of the Legion of Heroes and asked them if they were lacking any handy equipment.

The Goblin Legion expressed the wish to add some annihilation grenades, while the Werewolf Legion hoped to use Taoist long swords.

Although after years of war, the alchemical weapons of the wizard civilization have been iterated one after another, but they are all wizard equipment. In terms of the alchemical equipment of the clans, except for the wild orcs, the equipment will be iterated along with the wizards, and the rest of the clans will basically not be iterated once every hundred years.

Therefore, in terms of equipment selection, some of the equipment produced by the goblins and the fairyland world are superior to the wizards' equipment.

After receiving the request, Richard wrote the material list and handed it to the battlefield logistics department, asking them to transmit it to the logistics world.

After all this was over, the arrangements for the Legion of Heroes were placed before Richard.

According to the General Staff, these Heroic Spirit Legions should be dispersed to various fortresses to assist the wizards in their defense work. Although the wizards' current manpower is not so stretched due to the reduction of the defense circle, this is only relative.

Although the number of followers, synthetic beasts, and even alien slaves is greater than that of wizards, their deficiency is greater in proportion. The emergence of the Heroic Spirit Legion can make up for this.

But Richard's personal point was that these legions needed to be concentrated and then take the initiative to attack and annihilate the attacking mayflies.

Although it was fun to watch people attack the fortress, defense meant losing the initiative on the battlefield. Once the Mayflies concentrated their forces, they would be forced to rush to the rescue, which would expose a bigger flaw.

Simply defending will only lead to failure little by little. Only by taking the initiative to attack can the situation on the battlefield be reversed.

Both sides had reasonable opinions, but in the end Richard, the commander-in-chief, overwhelmed the old wizards in the general staff.

Although many wizards jokingly call the General Staff the external brain of the Great Wizard, which can help the Great Wizard give up those stupid decisions, if the commander-in-chief insists on doing something, the General Staff can only obey.

Soon, the legion was mobilized.

According to Richard's suggestion, the Heroic Legion began to conduct mixed training with the Wizard Legion. Although the Heroic Legion also had priests accompanying the army, they were of little use to the Heroic Legion.

The priest's magic can dispel the fear of the legion, calm the soldiers, or even make them fanatical. In addition, he can also provide mild healing, that is, mild hemostasis and pain relief.

However, soldiers who can become Heroic Spirits will not be afraid unless they are affected by the rules. Although their bodies will bleed, it is just a simulated illusion. They will feel pain, but it will be weaker than when they are mortals.

To kill a soldier of the Heroic Legion, structural destruction is necessary, such as cutting the soldier in half with a knife, smashing the soldier to pieces with a hammer, or using a powerful soul attack to directly tear apart the soul of the Heroic Legion soldier.

Otherwise, the Legion of Heroes can fight like undead creatures even without heads and with their hearts taken out.

The bonuses provided by wizards are different.

Using elemental witchcraft, wizards can give soldiers elemental protection. The wind element will make their bodies lighter, the earth element will make their attacks heavier, and the fire element can add elemental impact to their attacks.

In addition, the mind link can make the cooperation of the Heroic Legion more intimate. When the team fights, the wizard's reconnaissance magic is far more effective than ordinary equipment.

For the Legion of Heroes, wizards are more practical than priests.
