The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 782 Blitzkrieg

Since when, the death energy in the air of the Ember World began to decrease little by little.

Instead, a darker sky appeared.

Both sides of the war could sense that an atmosphere of impending storm was enveloping the entire world.

"Things are going to change." A wizard muttered to himself.

……

"Corona, this is the attack plan we have drawn up."

After three days of discussion, the old wizards at the headquarters reached a consensus based on the reports of the observing wizards - they had to attack before the ember storm.

The plan of attack was also largely planned during this discussion.

Looking at the plan handed over by the Great Wizard Absolute Zero, Richard took a rough look at it and left his own mark on it.

"Okay, let's do this."

Seeing Richard leaving his mark so skillfully, the Great Wizard Absolute Zero couldn't help but feel envious.

In his view, this was a manifestation of Richard's power.

If a war goes wrong, it goes wrong. For a Corona, even if the world is lost, it is not a big deal.

Richard's enormous power allowed him to do everything with ease.

But what he didn't know was that he was still trapped in the limitations of the great wizard.

"It's good to have the assistance of the General Staff. The plans of these old wizards are really flawless." Richard sighed in his heart.

Richard seemed so casual, not because he had the power to back him up, but because he knew very well that his war experience was far inferior to that of these staff officers.

As a leader, your own talents are secondary.

The only talent a leader needs is to use people and trust professionals.

In this complex world, there might be wizards who are truly all-rounders, but Richard can be sure that this all-rounder is definitely not himself.

Therefore, he never interferes in areas where he lacks competence.

As for the power backup... this thing does exist, but Richard didn't consider this issue at all.

He never considered the possibility of failure.

"Also, Lord Corona, according to the monitoring wizard's report, this time the ember snow storm will probably last longer than the one we invaded this world that year."

"Oh? Is it this big?"

Richard raised his eyebrows. No wonder the staff officers at the command center were able to come up with a plan so quickly.

This ember storm lasted so long that if the wizards waited until after the storm to attack, the losses they would suffer to achieve the same results would probably be greater than the losses from the failure of this operation.

"Yes, the monitoring wizard suspects that this storm may be related to the Galaxy Mayfly."

Richard frowned slightly: "... Celestial weapons? I'll pay attention."

Among the previous civilization technologies Richard had obtained, there was some information about celestial weapons. In the records of the Most High, celestial weapons were even used as conventional weapons.

In this case, it is not surprising that Galaxy Mayfly discovered one or two celestial weapons.

……

On the other side of the world, the expedition nest.

"Your Majesty, the celestial weapon has entered the countdown. This world's response to the celestial weapon is unusually smooth. If nothing unexpected happens, the ember snow storm will erupt in four months."

Listening to the reports from his subordinates in the mental network, the tentacles of the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor trembled slightly.

"Extraordinarily smooth?"

Although he did not command wars on a daily basis, as a quasi-emperor, he still knew the information he should know.

Celestial weapons require going with the flow, and the most labor-saving method is to detonate an impending disaster in advance.

However, for most of the world, this condition is impossible.

Therefore, in the experiments of Galaxy Mayfly, celestial weapons never worked smoothly.

"Yes, sir. We suspect that the pollution from the abyss has stimulated the origin of the world, causing it to produce a defensive reaction."

"Is the Abyss polluted?"

The tentacles of the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor moved slightly, transmitting the information to the rear through the wormhole of the Expedition Nest.

Although he had not studied abyss pollution, his intuition told him that this conclusion should be correct.

As a physically evolved creature, the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor has an almost superstitious belief in his own intuition.

"Your guess has been sent back. If verified to be correct, your tribe will be rewarded with a world."

"Thank you for your gift! The Red Claws are willing to go through fire and water for you."

Ignoring his subordinates' excited mental fluctuations, the Quasi-Emperor Mayfly's huge consciousness broke away from the mental network and entered his own body.

In the expedition nest, the huge body of the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor has been fully restored. Compared with the previous one, this new body is even more powerful.

A tremendous force surged in his body. If even a little bit of it leaked out, this expedition nest would be shattered in an instant.

His compound eyes looked towards the east, filled with a strong fighting spirit.

He knew that Richard was also looking at him at this moment.

Both sides were waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that could change the situation of the war.

……

"Acceleration array!"

The order of the legion rang in the ears of every legion wizard along the mental network. The next moment, the dark legion of wizards began to transform as accurately as a machine.

The wind elements gathered like a flock of birds, making the wizard's body in alchemical power armor even lighter.

In the sky, an aerial army corps like a flock of birds flew low, providing optical invisibility for the army corps.

Right in front of the wizard, the abyss demons rode on nightmare beasts. Under the gloomy sky, they were like a black crossbow arrow, charging towards the galaxy mayfly vein node.

Although there are many Galaxy Mayflies, they are not willing to start a war at every point on the battlefield.

The biggest advantages of the Galaxy Mayfly are the number of troops and strategic initiative.

These two advantages allow them to concentrate their superior forces and break through the wizard's defense line at any cost.

But if they placed the same number of troops in every war zone like wizards, it would be tantamount to giving up the strategic initiative.

Of course, Galaxy Mayflies can indeed fill every battle zone with a sea of ​​insects, but the width of the battlefield is limited, which means that the number of mayflies that a battlefield can accommodate is also limited.

Not only will the extra mayflies be unable to attack, but they will also become a burden to the mayfly side.

Because these mayflies cannot participate in the war and they will consume the resources of the Galaxy Mayflies.

Even if they could control the number of mayflies in each war zone just right, they would still face a problem.

That is, the losses from an all-out attack must be greater than the losses from a targeted attack.

Once a corner of the defense line is damaged, the strength of the entire defense line will be reduced.

But if we launch an all-out attack on all fronts, there will be no chance of taking advantage of this.

Except for the special situation in World 2456, Galaxy Mayfly would never use such a stupid tactic.

bang bang bang...

A series of low explosions sounded on the plains; it was the Abyss Demons dealing with a patrol of Galaxy Mayflies.

After the first exploratory attack was successful, the Galaxy Mayflies began to deploy patrols around the node again.

The disappearance of these patrols would definitely alert the Galaxy Mayflies, but unfortunately, the speed of the wizard army was far faster than their reaction speed.

In this battlefield, the optimal processing window is often calculated in seconds.

Because the mobility of both sides in the war is so strong that a decision even a second slower will put the battle situation into a passive position.

In the earth vein node, General Mayfly noticed the disappearance of the patrol.

"Strange? Why did so many people disappear today?"

The mental network is not immune to interference. In this high-intensity battlefield, it is common for long-distance mental networks to be disconnected.

"Something is wrong. Could it be that wizards are attacking?" said another Mayfly General.

"That's impossible. The higher-ups said that the Cinder Snowstorm will break out in a month. If we attack at this time, aren't the wizards afraid of running into the storm halfway through the battle?"

"You are stupid. We know the exact time, but the wizards don't. Let's defend quickly. Maybe the wizards' army is charging towards us right now..."

Boom!

The molten meteors summoned by the Legion's sorcery fell on the defenses of the earth vein nodes like a meteor shower.

Immediately afterwards, the dark masses of abyss demons broke through the defense circle of the horned mayfly outside the node and came to the front of the node.

The next moment, the Death Sword was overloaded, and the pitch-black blade suddenly pierced into the node's energy shield.

Under the bombardment of the Legion's witchcraft, the node's energy shield collapsed instantly.

The abyss demons spit out green magic fire, grinning as they harvested the lives of the Galaxy Mayflies. But the next moment, the voice of the legion leader rang in their ears.

"Don't kill them, idiots! Keep charging! Our mission is to charge forward. Leave these trash to the trash behind us."

Behind them, the elite wizard army has reorganized into an acceleration array.

Behind them, a huge army of ordinary wizards was filling the gap created by their advance.

……

"Corona, the initial attack went smoothly."

At the headquarters, the great wizard Absolute Zero smiled and whispered beside Richard.

In front of them, there was a huge map with several black arrows drawn on it, representing attacks.

These attack arrows are curved, and two of them form an encirclement, which is a classic pincer tactic.

"Yeah." Richard nodded slightly, "How does Mayfly react?"

"Just as we predicted, we kept trying to block the front, but we were always cut off by the front."

Richard turned his head to look at him with a smile on his face.

"It seems that the new tactics proposed by our staff officer are quite effective."

After the command system changed, many wizards became more active.

They realize that this is an era of change and they cannot always rely on past experience.

In this offensive plan, a staff officer proposed a tactic that seemed more radical.

This tactic specifically involves concentrating elite forces to carry out a targeted breakthrough in the Mayfly's defense line, and then the elite forces continue to advance without any defense, taking advantage of information transmission delays and the elite's high combat power and high mobility to continuously break through the Mayfly's defense and continuously expand the gap in the front line.

The defense of the front line and flanks was entirely left to the ordinary wizard corps following up from behind.

When Richard heard the description of this tactic, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled knowingly.

After obtaining the consent of the proposer of the tactic, he named it - blitzkrieg.
