The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 704 The war escalates
In the node, nearly 800,000 mayflies were constructing the array in an orderly manner under the command of the general.

The huge mother nest rose from the ground, and the moment it broke away from the earth, energy from the earth veins gushed out and turned into a magical breeze that blew in all directions.

Fortunately, even the artificial ground vein nodes have self-healing properties. After the energy pipeline of the mother nest was pulled out, the ground veins immediately summoned a huge amount of earth elements to repair the broken ground veins.

The galaxy mayflies built a huge three-dimensional array around the mother nest.

The outer shell of the array looks like a shuttle. A layer of rich wind elements is spinning at high speed on the outer shell of the array, which has the dual functions of acceleration and defense.

The formation was complete, and General Mayfly gave the order: "Move out!"

Then the huge array quickly approached the location of the large node.

If nothing goes wrong, they will be able to reach the main defense range of the large node in 30 minutes...

boom!
Accompanied by an extremely crisp shattering sound, a dark energy stream instantly hit the mayfly battle group.

The high-speed rotating wind element was easily pierced through by the energy flow like thin paper, and hundreds of mayflies were torn into pieces along with it.

"Controllable space flow!? Oh no, it's the wizard's elite army!"

The moment General Mayfly saw the black energy flow, he recognized what it was. This terrifying sorcery called controllable space flow was one of the legion spells of the wizard elite legion. It was not outstanding in terms of lethality, but it was very useful in breaking through defenses.

These space flows bound by the gravitational field are essentially a mass of space debris that continues to flow at high speed.

Even an ordinary fourth-level world master would have his defense penetrated if he was careless.

"Send information to headquarters immediately. The wizard's elite army does not have..."

"General, my communications are blocked!"

Upon hearing this, the tentacles on General Mayfly's head shook violently. Controllable space flow, communication shielding, there was no doubt about it, this was definitely an elite wizard army.

These wizards probably had no intention of attacking at all; their real target was the surrounding legions that came to support them!

General Mayfly understood the wizard's purpose almost instantly, but with communications cut off, it was futile for him to figure it out.

Dozens of controllable energy streams instantly tore through the array's defenses, followed by a massive amount of witchcraft shots.

General Mayfly did not change the formation, but maintained the original formation and rushed forward, trying to force his way through the elite wizard legion.

But obviously the idea is not feasible.

"Power pulls, releases."

The wizard hidden in the forest moved his fingers slightly, and a huge repulsive force surged from their position towards the mayfly battle group.

The fire element storm tore apart the wind element defense on the outer layer of the Mayfly array, and at the same time tore apart General Mayfly's last hope of breaking out.

At this final moment, it gave the last order of its life.

"Detonate the hive."

The low-level mayflies faithfully carried out the orders of General Mayfly, but when they tried to detonate the mother nest, they found that the mother nest was like a stone and could not be detonated no matter what.

In the wizard camp, a team of wizards were chanting in front of an altar similar to a Mayan pyramid.

The wizard commander stood beside him and exclaimed: "Those guys at Tesla Magic Equipment Research Institute are really geniuses. Using curse witchcraft to deal with self-destruction is a great idea."

The biggest problem in fighting Mayfly Battle Groups is how to deal with self-destruction.

It would be fine if the wizard attacked, because due to the characteristics of the earth vein nodes, the mother nest cannot be detonated when it is rooted in the earth vein nodes.

Even if the wizard bombarded it with witchcraft, at most he could blow it to pieces.

After all, if this thing exploded, it would most likely cause fluctuations in the earth vein nodes, leading to a chain reaction.

If it were a battlefield confrontation, this thing would be very troublesome.

If it was a weaker legion like the Hybrid Legion, it would be better, because in the course of the battle, the Galaxy Mayflies would consume a lot of energy and could not be completely annihilated.

The Galaxy Mayfly can either escape with its mother nest or it does not have much energy left when it self-destructs.

But if you encounter an elite wizard army and an annihilation war, the problem will be big.

The former's strength can make ordinary mayfly battle groups defenseless, but it can't stop the mayfly from self-destructing. The latter is completely unable to escape, and self-destruction is the best response strategy.

In the early stages of the war, this characteristic of the Galaxy Mayfly caused the wizards to suffer great losses.

Now, the wizard finally has a way to fight back.

Through the curse magic, the wizard can temporarily put the mother nest in a state where it cannot be detonated. Although this process requires a special team of curse wizards, it is undoubtedly worth it in terms of the results.

Without the last trump card of the mother nest's self-destruction, the Mayfly battle group would be wiped out very quickly.

The whole process doesn't even take ten minutes.

Under the wizard's cold gaze, General Mayfly used the last of his battle group's energy to launch a suicidal counterattack.

The colorful energy flow rushed towards the wizard army like a sharp arrow, but what greeted it was a thick energy barrier.

This kind of ordinary mayfly battle group is just a toy for the elite wizard legion. In previous battles, these legions had to face elite battle groups of mayflies or massive seas of mayflies.

This battle group with less than one million people is really not worth mentioning.

After recovering the mother nest of the mayflies and separating the small nodes, the wizard commander immediately reported to the headquarters:

"The 21st Legion has completed its combat objectives and is about to head to the next designated location." "Headquarters has received the message."

……

"Your Majesty, the reinforcements of fourteen nodes were attacked, thirteen of which were small nodes and one was a medium-sized node. We suspect that the wizard's target may not be a large node."

In the mental network, General Mayfly carefully reported the intelligence and the opinions of himself and others.

The Galaxy Mayfly Legion is a strictly hierarchical society, and mayflies of different levels must completely obey the command of their superiors.

Questioning the decision of a superior is an absolute no-no.

But the current situation is really contrary to their ideas. If they continue like this, they will die in vain.

"…temporarily stop sending reinforcements."

After a long silence, the Mayfly King gave his order.

In the Expedition Nest, the Mayfly King looked at the various marks on the map and felt as if he had fallen into some kind of trap.

"What on earth does this guy want to do? He gathered such a large army and took such a big risk, is it just to eat up the small fish and shrimps in the small nodes? Or is it to buy time for him to build a fortress in the rear?

What does he want?

The King of Mayflies didn't understand why Richard made such a big fuss and started a war on almost the entire front.

There is no doubt that this raid did cause him considerable losses. But this loss did not have much impact on him, as he could always send the reserve team to take over.

The raid would have been meaningless if we didn't take advantage of the chaos on the battle lines it caused.

It couldn't be that the wizard was simply consuming his army, right?

This also sounds so stupid.

Millions of troops were mobilized, and even elite troops were sent out, risking being surrounded and annihilated, just for those tens of millions of mayflies.

He would believe any number with a zero after it.

"No, this must be some kind of deception. His actual target should still be the large nodes."

The tentacles of the Mayfly King trembled, and he became more determined in his idea.

……

"The mayfly is starting to stop moving?"

Richard looked at the information Abel handed over and scratched his head with a headache.

"It will be difficult if we don't move. Once they gather enough people, we will be beaten and run away."

The most important reason why the Galaxy Mayfly is currently defending is that they have too many places to defend and their forces are somewhat dispersed. The wizards can succeed repeatedly because they rely on the advantages of the attackers, have the initiative on the battlefield, and can unscrupulously mobilize superior forces to attack a certain target.

However, once the strength of the mayfly reaches a certain level.

Then the wizard's trick won't work.

In front of the sea of ​​insects, the wizard cannot achieve a quick victory. But once stuck, the energy beam cannon will drown the wizard.

At that time, the wizard will have a way to retreat.

"Sir, should we consider mobilizing some of our elite troops to attack large nodes?" Abel suggested.

"The elite corps has a strong ability to charge forward. As long as we show enough momentum, these bugs will definitely come back to support us."

Richard nodded slightly, this is a solution.

"Do as you say. And have the Heroic Spirits prepare to support us from the rear."

"Yes."

As the order was given, the elite army quickly assembled.

An elite army of 150,000 arrived at the battlefield of a large node and began to attack as the vanguard.

"Offensive formation, controllable space flow ready, three, two, one, release!"

The wizard commander in the mental network calmly gave orders. In front of them, a huge number of shield crystals and an energy shield composed of mayfly arrays blocked them like an iron wall.

Behind this iron wall, light spears with an energy level of over 30,000 were being swung at them as if they were free.

Although the mother nest cannot be detonated when it is connected to the earth vein, the mother nest connected to the earth vein is also a nearly unlimited source of energy. Relying on the energy supply of the mother nest, the Galaxy Mayfly does not have to worry about energy issues at all.

Various high-intensity attacks flew towards the wizard like raindrops.

buzzing...

The wizard legion's shield was constantly rippled by the impact, and the wizard responsible for maintaining the shield had to use the energy of activating the power armor to maintain the existence of the shield.

Under the shield, the wizard in charge of the attack moved his fingers slightly, and the next moment, a controllable space stream of more than ten meters shot out from the chest of the legion commander, penetrating the mayfly's defense barrier like poking tofu.

And it just happened to hit General Mayfly, who was responsible for maintaining the defense.

The first breach appeared in the iron wall.
