The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 701 The War Is Starting
"Move! Move!"

At the company commander's shout, team after team of soldiers rushed out of the barracks.

These soldiers were fully armed, and the enchanted alchemical armor on their bodies was even equipped with simple exoskeletons.

The goblin soldier carried a huge box on his back, and a multi-functional belt around his waist was equipped with an alchemical sword called "Molten Iron" and five annihilation grenades.

The werewolf soldiers have an additional multifunctional alchemical shield and more armor auxiliary plug-ins.

The two types of soldiers were mixed together, with the wizard as the core to form the smallest combat unit. Among them, several heroic soldiers who looked no different from ordinary people but had a faint holy light in their eyes were mixed in each combat unit to serve as combat unit fuses.

After the legion was lined up, the legion commander walked to the front of the legion and gave a brief speech.

After the speech, this true hybrid army boarded the war airship and flew out of the camp.

Under their feet, the huge fortresses built by wizards were constantly "resurrecting".

Countless alien servant armies shuttled between the fortresses, putting into use various facilities that had been idle for two years.

The war is about to begin again.

……

"Elt, the command has finally come to its senses."

In the war airship, Lyle held the command from the headquarters with a surprised smile on his face.

"Hmm? What did headquarters say?"

Elt took the order with some curiosity, and after reading it, a look of shock appeared on his face.

"There are only goals, time and strategic intentions, but no specific tactical details. Are we allowed to play freely?"

Lyle chuckled when he heard this and said, "The big shot above has finally come to his senses. The last operation in the northern theater was probably just an experiment.

Our brothers in the northern theater relied on their own strategies and did not suffer any major losses during the three months of siege. I guess the higher-ups think this approach is feasible.”

Elt read the order again and again, and finally returned it to Lyle.

"Maybe, but it's not all good to hand it over to us. In the past, we could blame the higher-ups if there were any problems, but now if we fail, it's all our responsibility."

Elt's words did not dampen Lyle's spirits.

He replied, "That's what you said, but think about it carefully. If you had failed before, would you still be alive to return? Now, let's not talk about anything else. Even if we fail, we can go back and punish each of us one by one. Even if we are thrown to the front line as a sin-redeeming soldier, it is better than dying directly."

Elt glanced at him and said calmly, "You've only used your soul box once. The Redeemer will really atone until death, no matter how many times you've died in the meantime."

"Hey, you're being boring. Don't you think this is a good arrangement?"

Elt shook his head, a gleam in his eyes.

"Of course this is a good arrangement. Even if those old guys in the General Staff have a plan, they can never be better than wizards like us who are on the battlefield.

If we are lucky, after this war we can return to our homeland and rest for decades."

Except for madmen, no one wants to stay on the front line of the battlefield. Even an old wizard like Elt, who has experienced many battles, is exhausted physically and mentally after years of war.

And now, the opportunity to rest has finally come.

Most of the legion commanders involved in this operation were very happy with Richard's new tactics.

Who can become a corps commander in this era is not a veteran of many battles? These people did not enter the General Staff. In addition to their lack of strategic vision, the biggest problem is that the corps needs a corps commander, but the General Staff does not need so many staff officers.

When it comes to specific tactical operations, the staff of the General Staff may not be as capable as the corps commanders on the front line.

However, the goblins and werewolves were somewhat uneasy about Richard's tactics.

It was their first time to enter a civilized war battlefield, and they had never seen a civilized war before. Asking them to make their own decisions under such circumstances was really stressful for them.

Fortunately, each legion is basically equipped with a wizard legion commander, so the legion commander does not have to be inexperienced when making decisions.

As the war airship gradually flew out of the range of the alchemical turret, many soldiers felt a sense of tension and pride in their hearts.

The war has begun.

……

At the node of the earth vein, galactic mayflies constantly come in and out of the huge mother nest.

On the periphery of the mother nest, hundreds of honeycomb-like crystal structures are suspended in the air, and there is a galaxy mayfly in each structure, which looks like a bug in a lake.

These crystals seem to have no connection with each other, but if you observe them with an energy perspective, you will find that these crystals are connected by energy light paths.

Seeing these things, some experienced old wizards showed a trace of solemnity on their faces.

"These bugs are really cautious." A wizard legion leader muttered to himself.

"What are these things?"

Beside the wizard army leader, the goblin army asked nervously.

"It's nothing, just an energy shield. In our last raid, 50,000 people destroyed a mother nest of millions. These bugs must have been hurt, so they installed this kind of shield around the mother nest."

"Does it have any effect on our sneak attack?" the goblin leader asked again. "Yes." The old wizard nodded, "This shield will make our first round of spell attacks ineffective, which will increase our losses."

The goblin leader's expression turned serious, as if he had made up his mind.

"Do you have a solution? If not, my Lord's soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice."

The old wizard waved his hand, signaling him not to be so excited.

"Don't worry, let me think about it. I haven't used my brain for a long time, and my brain is rusty."

After being a puppet on the front line for hundreds of years, the wizard legion leader now suddenly had the freedom to decide tactics. He felt that his brain had become dull.

However, these old wizards were also people who had received traditional wizard education, and their accumulated knowledge was like an ocean compared to the new wizards.

After searching the vast ocean for a while, the wizard leader suddenly showed joy on his face.
"There is a way. Fortunately, I have studied energy resonance in the past. You will listen to my instructions later. After I issue the order, you must immediately fire the spell.

By then, this energy shield should be paralyzed by me. Of course, if it is not paralyzed, then the front army will turn to the rear army, and the rear army will turn to the front army, and retreat directly. "

"retreat?"

The leader of the goblin army was a little stunned. He didn't understand why they had to retreat if they couldn't be paralyzed. Could it be that even with the help of wizards, they couldn't defeat these galactic mayflies?
"Yes, we should retreat." The old wizard explained simply, "These bugs are very difficult to deal with. If we fail to catch them by surprise, we will suffer heavy losses in a head-on battle."

"The Legion is not afraid of sacrifice..."

"Shut up, newcomer to the battlefield." The old wizard interrupted without any hesitation, "Put away your enthusiasm for sacrifice. The great wizard has prepared so many things for you and wasted so many resources on you.

If you die like the soldiers, would you be worthy of the great wizard's training?

What is needed on the battlefield is results, not sacrifices."

The goblin leader was ashamed after hearing what he said.
"You're right, I...I'm shirking my responsibility."

The old wizard nodded slightly: "Don't blame yourself, newcomers will make stupid mistakes. Command well and wait for my signal."

After saying that, the old wizard's body silently turned into a shadow and quickly approached the mayfly nest in the distance.

Ten minutes later, the crystal ball of the goblin army commander suddenly vibrated.

The next moment, two thousand goblin soldiers of the hybrid legion activated runes at the same time, and two thousand dark blue fireballs ejected from the muzzles of the alchemical turrets almost at the same time, falling towards the mother nest of the Galaxy Mayfly like a meteor shower.

At the same time, dozens of shield crystals suspended in the sky near the mother nest suddenly flickered.

Then these glittering crystals fell from the sky as if they had lost power.

Although these crystals started to rise again before falling to the ground, they were no longer effective as a defensive shield.

The destructive rain of fire fell from the sky, shaking the mother nest and almost destroying it, and also shattered the shield crystals in the air.

There is no suspense in this battle.

……

"Commander-in-chief, your command is truly as profound as the ocean."

Abel came to Richard with the battle report summary and handed it to Richard respectfully.

"After changing the command mode, the war efficiency on the front line has been greatly improved. So far, 76 legions have fought against the Mayflies. micro node nests, small node nests, and medium node nests have been destroyed, killing nearly million enemies."

If Abel had doubts about Richard's new command mode before, now he has become a loyal fan of Richard.

Those tactics that he couldn't understand were simply because he was not smart enough.

"Well, this is a pretty good result."

Richard nodded slightly. He was personally very satisfied with the result.

"But we must tell the legions at the front that they must be cautious in their next actions. The window for a surprise attack has passed, and the Galaxy Mayflies will definitely start to fight back now."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Abel agreed and was about to leave, but Richard suddenly stopped him.

"Abel, do you have any recent battle reports from the battle front? Bring me a copy."

"Battle front report?" Abel looked at Richard with some doubt. "You mean the battle report of the big battle front, right?"

Richard nodded: "Yes, that's it."

As the commander-in-chief of a world, Richard has to pay attention not only to his own war zone, but also to the battle reports from the neighboring war zone and even the entire front.

Now that the five-year offensive is about to begin, he must prepare early.

"No problem sir, I'll prepare it for you right away."

……

In the expedition nest, the dark mayfly king looked at the battle report sent by his subordinates through the soul network, and raised his two tentacles slightly.

"After more than two years of leisure, you finally can't help but take action?"
