Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 347 is locked.

The aftershocks of the spatial storm, like an invisible giant hand, completely leveled several blocks in the eastern part of Wooden Tower City, sending smoke and dust billowing into the sky, mixed with the pungent smell left behind after the energy was annihilated.

The wooden tower resembled a severely wounded giant, its body riddled with jagged cracks, and its elemental pool billowing with black smoke, utterly rendered powerless.

But the anticipated second wave of enemies did not arrive.

The spatial vortex that remained in the sky completely disappeared, leaving only turbulent energy currents stirring the dark clouds.

The brief silence was like the last breath before the storm.

On the ground, the remaining observer units, numbering about twenty execution-type Purifiers, over thirty hunter-types, and the three annihilation-types that resembled small mountains, briefly ceased their attacks, as if they were receiving new commands and assessing the battle situation.

Their dark gold armor reflected a cold luster in the firelight of the ruins, their energy wings on their backs adjusted their angle slightly, and data streams flickered silently on their heads.

The marking filter on his wrist was incredibly hot; the silvery-white filter seemed to be fiercely resisting some even more powerful force, emitting a faint groan that only Rolin could perceive.

The sense of connection had never been so clear, cold, angry, and imbued with an absolute authority as if offended by an ant, firm.

He firmly locked onto this area, especially—the direction of the wooden tower, and himself.

That observer node was completely enraged.

"Attention all units! The enemy is about to launch a general offensive! Hold the line! Do not retreat an inch!"

Maurice's voice came through the remaining communication network, hoarse yet resolute.

His judgment was correct.

Just seconds later, all the remaining observer units moved simultaneously!

Instead of spreading out to suppress from a distance, the execution-type Purgers moved closer together, forming a loose triangular assault formation. With their energy blades raised, they launched a frontal assault on the city's core area, the council buildings, and the most densely populated energy nodes with heavy but firm steps!

Their objective is clear: destroy the command center and the remaining defenses!

The hunter type, like a disturbed swarm of bees, scatters and no longer seeks infiltration. Instead, it begins to systematically hunt down high-level combatants, commanders, and any wizard squads attempting to repair their defenses or launch a counterattack on the battlefield!

They were faster and more coordinated, causing great chaos and casualties to the defending troops.

The three annihilation-type tanks changed direction, no longer attempting to breach the city wall, but instead staggering but determinedly heading towards the wooden tower base!

Their goal is to completely destroy this "nail" that has just caused them so much trouble!

"Stop them! Don't let them get near the wooden tower!"

Master Evelyn roared between the foundation stones, but she herself could not leave. She had to maintain the broken city defense array to prevent observer units from teleporting directly into the core area.

Baal, covered in blood and with several chips in his battle axe, roared as he charged toward the approaching executioner with the remaining dozen or so heavily armored warriors, trying to slow it down with his own flesh and blood.

Oleg and Lina weaved through the ruins, constantly firing arrows and short sticks in an attempt to intercept and kill the hunters. However, the enemies were too numerous and well-coordinated, and the two were soon caught in a fierce battle, sustaining several wounds.

The temporary healing point where Priestess Sharna was located was also attacked by hunters. Holy light and dark gold energy clashed fiercely, and the priests protecting the wounded fell one by one.

Throughout the entire battlefield, the Wooden Tower City side was at a complete disadvantage!

With its defense system crumbling, high-end combat forces fragmented and tied down, ordinary soldiers are as fragile as paper in the face of observer units' firepower.

The atmosphere in the command center was extremely tense.

Master Morris stared at the rapidly deteriorating battle map, his fingers gripping the scepter so tightly they turned white.

Master Sophia's lips moved as if she were rapidly calculating something, and her expression grew increasingly grim.

Luo Lin stood in front of the control panel between the foundation stones, his hands pressed tightly against the control panel, his fingernails almost digging into the metal.

The jamming array was greatly reduced in effectiveness due to the destruction of a large number of energy nodes. It could only barely maintain low-frequency jamming in some areas to slow down the enemy, but it could not stop their advance.

Watching helplessly as the city crumbled and comrades perished, I seemed utterly powerless to stop it.

Do not!

We can't give up!

His mental energy swept frantically across every battlefield detail on the hologram, his brain working like an overloaded engine.

Observer units are powerful, but they are not without weaknesses.

It is invincible in frontal assaults, but it is somewhat cumbersome when turning around and dealing with flank attacks.

The hunter type is agile and deadly, but its armor is relatively thin, making it less resistant to strong area control or burst damage.

The Annihilation-type defense is terrifying, but it is slow. The connection between the energy core and the body is a fatal weakness. Moreover, Rolin's gaze suddenly locked onto the three Annihilation-types that were slowly walking towards the wooden tower.

Their path will pass through a ruin that was completely collapsed due to a space storm, forming a huge crater and a zone of energy turbulence!

There, the spatial structure is extremely unstable, the ground is fragile, and it is filled with violent residual energy.

An extremely risky plan instantly took shape in his mind.

"Master Evelyn! I need to mobilize the last reserves of ley line stabilizing energy and inject it into the ruins beneath the East 7th District!"

"Maximum power, for ten seconds!" Rolin shouted urgently in the communication.

"Earth vein energy? What are you trying to do? The space there is already unstable. Injecting high energy will trigger a chain reaction and may even cause a larger area of ​​ground collapse!" Master Evelyn immediately realized what he was trying to do.

"We need to make it collapse! Traps the annihilation-type monsters inside! Use the unstable energy turbulence to confine or even severely damage them!" Rolin spoke rapidly. "Time is running out! They'll enter that area in thirty seconds!"

Master Evelyn hesitated for only half a second.

"Let's go! Earth vein energy transfer activated! Ten-second countdown!"

"Master Sophia! I need you to calculate immediately the coordinates of the most likely weak point in that area three seconds after the energy injection!"

Without a word, Master Sophia immediately closed her eyes, the ancient book in her hand moved automatically without wind, and her mental energy connected with the remaining monitoring array in the city, and she began to calculate frantically.

"Master Morris! Order all operational long-range firepower to target the ruins of East 7th District! Ignore everything else, follow my command, fire a volley!"

"Understood!" Master Morris gritted his teeth and immediately relayed the order.

Commands were issued in the blink of an eye.

On the battlefield, Baal took a direct hit from an execution-type blade with his shoulder. His shoulder armor shattered and his flesh was mangled, but he managed to knock the attacker off balance, creating an opportunity for the warrior next to him to attack.

Oleg was cornered by two Hunter-type vehicles, wielding his short stick like the wind, facing imminent danger.

Lina shot an arrow through the head of a Hunter-type vehicle, freeing herself from the attack, but was grazed in the waist by an energy gun from another vehicle and stumbled to the ground.

Priestess Sharna's Holy Light Barrier was teetering on the brink of collapse under the onslaught of several Hunter-type units.

The three annihilation-type vehicles were less than twenty meters away from the unstable ruins.

Between the foundation stones, the readings of the earth's energy transmission surged!

Beneath the ruins of East 7th District, the already fragile rock strata and energy structure began to vibrate violently!

"Three seconds!" Roland stared intently at the countdown and Master Sophia's constantly updated calculation results.

"Spatial weak point — coordinates locked! Transmitted!" Master Sophia suddenly opened her eyes.

"All ranged fire! Fire at the coordinates I marked—!!!"

Rowling roared.

The remaining ballistae, magic towers, and wizards still capable of firing all unleashed their strongest attacks on the point calculated by Master Sophia!

Boom boom boom boom!!!

The already fragile ground, under the dual impact of internal and external energy, shattered and collapsed instantly, like glass struck by a heavy hammer!

A massive crater, over fifty meters in diameter, suddenly appeared, its interior teeming with turbulent energy that shot skyward like a fountain!

Caught off guard, the three annihilation-type vehicles instantly lost their balance and plunged headfirst into the deep pit!

The chaotic energy turbulence tore at their thick armor, producing ear-piercing friction and explosions!

One of the machines' leg joints struck a protruding rock formation during the fall, producing a metallic twisting sound as it succumbed to the strain!

It worked!

At least temporarily, these three biggest threats have been contained!

"Well done!" A suppressed cheer erupted in the command hall.

But there was no sign of relaxation on Rolin's face.

Trapping does not mean annihilation.

Moreover, the situation in other parts of the war remains critical.

Just then, the temperature of the marking filter on his wrist reached a critical point!

hum!

A layer of extremely dim, almost invisible dark gold ripples spread uncontrollably from Rolin's center!

This is not an attack; it's more like a mark that, under extreme stimulation, instinctively emits a special kind of identity or state fluctuation!

This fluctuation was extremely subtle, and even ordinary people or low-level wizards could hardly detect it.

However, the observer units on the battlefield, whether they were execution types charging forward, hunting types frantically hunting, or even annihilation types struggling at the bottom of the pit, all experienced an extremely brief but incredibly clear and consistent pause in their movements!

Their data streams simultaneously pinpointed Rolin's location—between the cornerstones!

It's not the exact location, but the direction is clear!

"High-priority target signal detected"

"Coordinate region confirmed — Core interference source —"

"Change Instruction: Prioritize target elimination —"

The cold, synchronized fluctuations of thought, like a chilling tide, swept across every observer unit on the battlefield in an instant!

The next moment, all the observer units that were still able to move abandoned their original targets and, like sharks smelling blood, turned around and launched a desperate all-out attack on the council building complex and the area between the foundation stones!

The execution formation no longer maintains its formation; it charges at full speed!

The hunters abandoned their hunt and transformed into streaks of dark golden light, leaping and bounding through the ruins as they charged straight at the enemy!

The annihilation type at the bottom of the pit also roared angrily and struggled even more frantically, trying to climb out of the deep pit!

Their goal is singular—Rolin!

"Oh no! They're coming for you!" Master Evelyn's expression changed drastically.

Rowling realized it too.

The fluctuations I had unconsciously emitted just now were like a lighthouse in the dark, completely exposing me to the top of all observer units' hate list!

Although the foundation stones are heavily fortified, they absolutely cannot withstand the concentrated impact of so many high-level units!

Must leave!

Draw the enemy away! Give the core area of ​​the parliament and the remaining defensive lines a chance to regroup!

"Master Evelyn! Open the emergency exit on the northeast side! I'll go out and distract them!" Rowling said decisively.

"No! It's too dangerous! Going out is suicide!" Master Evelyn immediately objected.

"Stay here, wait for them to break through the defenses, and then we'll all die together!"

"If I go out, I can use the terrain and jamming arrays to buy you some time!"

"Reinforcements from the Eternal Tower and the Emerald Forest should be arriving soon!"

As Luo Lin spoke, he rushed toward the northeast corner between the foundation stones, where there was an emergency passage leading to the city's underground drainage system.

"Roland!" Master Evelyn tried to stop him.

"Trust me!" Rowling turned around, his eyes unusually calm, yet filled with an undeniable determination. "I will come back alive."

After saying that, he pulled open the heavy metal door of the emergency exit and disappeared into the dark passageway.

Master Evelyn gritted her teeth and roared into the communicator, "Quinn! Rake! Evan! Follow him! Protect him! At all costs!"

"yes!"

Three figures darted out of the shadows like ghosts, following closely behind Luo Lin, and rushed into the emergency exit.

The passageway was damp and dark, filled with a musty smell.

Rolin channeled the power of [Silent Dust Star] into his legs, pushing his speed to the limit as he sprinted towards the designated exit. Behind him, Rick, Evan, and Captain Quinn followed closely, their footsteps echoing through the narrow passage.

He knew this decision was extremely dangerous, almost a matter of life and death.

But this is also the only opportunity to buy time for Muta City and perhaps test some ideas.

Since the markers have attracted all the firepower, let's take advantage of that and lure them into the pre-planned battlefield.

A place with more complex terrain, more suitable for him to exert the remaining power of [Silent Dust Star] and the interference array.

Moreover—he touched the last high-purity star marrow essence given to him by Master Evelyn, which he kept close to his body.

Perhaps being forced into a desperate situation is the best opportunity to break down barriers and break through the third ring road?

The prerequisite is that you can survive until then, even under the pursuit of those dark gold Grim Reapers.

Ahead, the exit of the emergency passage was brightly lit and faintly visible.

Outside, however, lies an even more brutal hunting battlefield.

Luo Lin took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with silver light, and rushed out without hesitation.
