The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 781 Post-War Meeting, Snowstorm

General headquarters, conference room.

"Tell me about the current situation."

Richard sat in the main seat and spoke to the great wizard Absolute Zero beside him.

"Yes, Corona."

The Great Wizard Absolute Zero took out a stack of documents from his pocket and distributed them to the staff in the conference room. He then said to the staff in the conference room: "After a month of fierce fighting, our exploratory attack plan has been successfully completed.

The statistics on post-war losses and results have now been released, and I would like to talk about them again.

In this battle, we lost nearly 200,000 wizards, 30% of which were elite wizards, as well as 700,000 abyss demons and nearly 300,000 followers.

But correspondingly, we killed nearly 100 million Galaxy Mayflies and occupied one medium-sized earth vein node, five small earth vein nodes, and twelve micro earth vein nodes.

Five abyss nests have also been built. Through biomass transportation, these nests can produce 10,000 level one abyss demons every day.

If all the nests are built, as long as there are enough supplies, the abyss nest can produce 124,000 first-level abyss demons every day.

Combined with our maze system, these abyss demons can become qualified legion warriors in just one month."

When the wizard staff in the conference room heard that it only took one month to become a qualified legion soldier, they all showed a trace of horror on their faces.

The various statistics of the abyss demon are really horrifying.

However, Richard was not surprised by this data.

As a product created by the Titans to fight against the Devourer of Civilizations, it is normal for the Abyss to have such data.

Especially since this data is added with the maze system.

The maze system combined with precocious creatures like the Abyss Demon is simply a ruthless soldier-making machine.

"The results are very good." Richard smiled and applauded.

The moment he clapped, the entire conference room was instantly filled with applause.

After a while.

"Okay, stop."

Richard raised his hand, and the entire conference room fell silent instantly.

"Now that we have talked about the good news, it's time to talk about the reaction of the Galaxy Mayfly."

The Great Wizard Absolute Zero nodded slightly: "In this operation, most of our losses occurred in the last stage.

At this stage, Galaxy Mayfly has become familiar with our tactics and made targeted adjustments.

And in terms of strategic weapons, the Galaxy Mayfly also demonstrated technology that was not quite in line with its level."

As he spoke, the Great Wizard Absolute Zero took out a crystal ball, from which a three-dimensional projection appeared. The projection showed a bug that was almost three meters tall.

This insect is covered with a purple-red carapace, has four pairs of limbs and two pairs of wings.

The second pair of limbs near the head look like a pair of giant sickles, and the last pair of limbs look very developed, suggesting that this insect has a bipedal combat form.

“This insect is an upgraded version of the hunter mayfly. Its shell is extremely resistant to elemental magic and energy magic.

Furthermore, all of its limbs have extremely strong magic-breaking properties.

If we encounter a level 3 individual, our legion's shield may even be torn apart temporarily.

Moreover, the body fluids of these insects are highly corrosive. Even if we don’t encounter a Level 3 individual, once the body fluids of these insects touch the Legion’s shield, the Legion’s shield will be partially structurally damaged, thus weakening the performance of the Troupe’s shield.”

A trace of solemnity appeared on the faces of the staff officers. The characteristics of this new subspecies were not very friendly to wizards.

"Elite?" Richard asked, tilting his head.

"Not really," the Great Wizard Absolute Zero shook his head slightly, "This kind of individuals are rare at present, probably because the technology is not yet mature. When the mayfly technology matures, these insects should completely replace the ordinary hunter mayflies.

In addition, we also discovered other subspecies that we had never seen before. The number of these subspecies is not large, but their strength and talents are upgraded versions of the same subspecies in the past.

I suspect that the same transformation is going on within Mayfly as it is within us.”

"change?"

The staff officers were somewhat confused and did not understand what the Great Wizard Absolute Zero was talking about.

Only Richard nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

He knew that the Great Wizard Absolute Zero was talking about the sub-human wizards.

"I will issue a parliamentary order to have the great wizards in each battlefield collect intelligence in this regard. Is there any other news?"

The Great Wizard Absolute Zero nodded, and then his expression became solemn.

“There is another piece of news. Our monitoring wizards have noticed that there is something abnormal about the flow of the earth veins in this world.

According to our data, this abnormal flow is likely to be a precursor to a natural disaster unique to this world - the ember snow storm."

"Ember Snow Storm?"

Richard frowned slightly and dug up the memory of this name from his memory.

Ember Snow Storm is a special natural disaster unique to the Ember Sun world. The specific cause of the disaster is unknown.

The specific manifestation of this disaster is that large flakes of black snow, also known as "cinder snow", begin to fall from the sky.

This kind of ember snow is a combination of energy elements with a very special structure. This combination is extremely destructive to the physical body and even energy barriers.

When wizards invaded this world, a cindersnow storm broke out.

The storm lasted for a whole year, and both wizards and local natives were forced to stop the war and hide in bunkers and fortifications, waiting for the ember snow to end.

Otherwise, the endless snow would be enough to turn all living things exposed in it into ashes.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Richard frowned slightly. The ember snow storm was not a big threat to wizard fortifications, but it was a deadly threat to abyss buildings.

With this targeted storm appearing at this time, Richard felt that the tentacles of the civilization devourer seemed to be "plucking the strings" again. "Any predictions?" Richard asked.

The Great Wizard Absolute Zero said carefully: "According to the data we have now, the ember snow storm should appear in half a year. But... the possibility of it appearing earlier cannot be ruled out."

"...Find the information and gather the demon craftsmen and alchemists to study how to deal with the ember snow storm."

Richard rubbed his brows, his voice sounding somewhat helpless.

Then he turned his gaze towards the staff officers in the conference room.

"Everyone, what do you think? Should we launch our next attack after the ember storm or before the ember storm?"

The results of this exploratory attack were quite good, which also proved that wizards can fully utilize the assistance provided by the abyss demons to transform comprehensive defense into local defense.

"Lord Corona, it would be safer to put it behind the Cindersnow Storm." An old wizard with a white beard said.

"It's safer, but the losses will also be greater." An undead wizard with a golden skull retorted.

"The bugs will definitely think that we will attack after the storm. During this storm, they will definitely strengthen their defenses."

"But we are not well prepared to attack now. If something goes wrong, we will inevitably suffer unnecessary losses."

"Then the extra losses will be necessary once they have repaired the fortifications?"

After the successful attack, many old wizards became more active.

No one wants to hide in their shell like a turtle all day long. Who would be willing to defend when they can take the initiative to attack?

But these wizards are not all of them after all. There are still quite a few wizards who still prioritize safety.

"Be quiet," Richard said.

The next moment, silence returned to the hall.

The old wizards looked at Richard, waiting quietly for Richard to speak.

Richard tapped the tabletop with his index finger.

“Can anyone tell me how many legions we can mobilize at most if we attack before the ember storm? And what is the maximum result we can achieve?

If we fail, what will be the maximum loss we will suffer? "

As a wizard, Richard likes to speak with data.

Although the battlefield is a place where it is difficult to quantify data, it is easier to make decisions with the assistance of data than without it.

In response to Richard's question, the staff officers kept silent and quickly calculated the answer to the question in their minds.

Soon, the Great Wizard Absolute Zero gave the answer.

"If we plan for maximum results, we should be able to capture two large earth vein nodes. But if we fail, we estimate that we will lose a thousand legions, as well as all the current abyss demons and abyss nests.

As a result, five battle zones, from thirty to thirty-five, are at risk of being lost."

"It's too dangerous. Change it."

Soon, another wizard gave the answer.

"Thirteen medium-sized earth vein nodes were lost. The cost of failure was five hundred legions and all the abyss demon nests. The twenty-fifth and twenty-fourth battle zones may also be lost."

Richard was still not satisfied with this plan.

"Continue to exchange. The losses must be reduced to less than one million, and no battle zone should be lost. If the risk can be kept below this, and the results can reach five medium-sized earth vein nodes, then we can proceed.

on the contrary……"

Richard paused for a moment and said slowly, "We should wait until after the ember snow storm before attacking."

After saying that, he did not stay in the conference room any longer and went straight back to his office.

Designing a plan takes time, and there is still half a year before the Cindersnow Storm, so waiting for two days is not a problem.

……

Outside the shooting room, there was continuous gunfire.

The flashes of thunder and the beams of galaxy mayflies made the entire battlefield extremely gorgeous.

In the shooting room, Gawain was repairing the alchemical parts in his hands, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the battlefield outside.

Gawain had developed this habit ever since he was nearly vaporized by a beam of light.

This habit has saved him three times so far.

"Hey, Boss, do you feel that there is less death energy in the air recently?"

Asu looked at the battlefield vigilantly and asked his boss casually.

"Death energy? I didn't feel it."

Gawain repaired the parts in his hand and inserted them into the alchemical turret. The orc clan member in charge of shooting saw that there was no problem with his turret, so he immediately sat on it and continued his duties.

"Could it be that fewer people have died recently, and the environment has improved as a result?"

Ah Su shook his head: "I don't think so. The death energy in this world is a manifestation of rules. It has nothing to do with the number of dead people."

“That means the environment is going to get better.”

Gawain glanced at the crystal ball and immediately headed for the next shooting room.

"That's possible... be careful!"

Ah Su suddenly pounced and threw Gao Wen into another shooting room. At the moment of his pounce, a beam of light burned the shooting room they were just in into nothingness.

"Phew! These bugs' group attacks are becoming more and more frequent."

Gawain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help thinking.

"This is inside the bunker, it feels like it's not as safe as attacking."
