Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Chapter 529 The Alchemists' Counterattack

The distress signal flew across the skies of the alchemy world, landing in the hands of alchemists in various cities, and finally reaching the main city.

The first signal was sent shortly after the first large city was breached, the second arrived half a day later, and the third was only a few hourglasses apart from the second.

The signals were largely the same: a large number of external forces were advancing rapidly, the city was difficult to defend, and they were requesting support!

Towards the end, the signal became increasingly urgent.

Even if other cities wanted to provide support, they were powerless to do so.

Now the four armies of the undead are scattered, surrounded by enemies. Even if reinforcements are sent, they are slaughtered before they even reach their destination.

The distress signal provided details about the composition of these forces, their direction of invasion, and their point of entry.

The alchemists were puzzled upon learning that the enemy consisted of a large number of undead, a large number of self-moving iron creatures, and some humans and orcs.

Where did these enemies come from?

Could it be an "extraterrestrial demon" that was provoked during the world's advancement?

Are they the surviving natives from the Worldstones that Aldrick sacrificed, now sweeping the world in revenge?

Only a few "alchemy masters" who can truly invoke the rules of the world and influence the will of the world know the inside story.

They received a warning from the world's will when Lynn and the Chaos Dragon broke through the world barrier and entered the world; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent people to investigate.

As a result... one intermediate master and three beginner masters disappeared without a trace, and no news was sent back.

They're probably in trouble.

This news weighed heavily on their minds. Aldrick went into seclusion, and four of the remaining nine alchemy masters had been lost...

This is a catastrophe for the entire alchemy world!

After Aldrick went into seclusion, Casper, the vice president of the Alchemy Association who took over the entire Alchemy World, had no choice but to step in.

The last signal Casper received was the next morning, when a gray crystal landed on his desk.

He picked it up and probed it with his mental power, reading the last message sent three quarters of an hour before the city was breached.

The records show that the city walls were already breached, and some enemies rushed in through the breaches. A massive number of undead charged forward despite various attacks, while behind them were large numbers of orcs and humans.

Casper's attention was mainly focused on the goblin weapons.

The strength and attack methods of those undead, humans, and orcs were quite ordinary; they had dealt with them many times.

But those goblin weapons were something else entirely.

It is incredibly powerful and tireless, even more convenient and practical than the "weapon crafting" they create, and easier to use.

Especially those magic cannons and magic tanks.

It has great power, long range, and high accuracy. Apart from being less flexible, it has no major drawbacks.

In addition, there was a detail mentioned by the frontline commander.

The opponent possesses a grayish-white energy capable of directly dissolving alchemical array structures, an energy that is extremely effective against alchemists!

If the magical weapons amazed Casper, this news terrified him!

This news could shake the very foundation of the entire alchemy world. If such power truly exists, it must be nipped in the bud immediately and must never be spread!

Fortunately, this energy seems to be controlled only by the commander of one army, and the enemy has not used it on a large scale.

Even so, we cannot be careless.

These enemies must be eliminated as soon as possible!

Casper placed the crystal on the table, stood up, and walked into the conference room.

The other alchemy masters had already arrived, and another intermediate alchemy master was sitting on the right side of the long table, while the same spot on the left was empty.

That was the location of a mid-level alchemy master who went out to check the situation and has not returned since.

Three seats behind the long table, which originally belonged to novice alchemists, were now empty.

Casper knew that these people were probably doomed, so he didn't ask where the owner of the empty seat had gone. The message crystal had already explained everything.

The enemy has already broken in!

Casper walked to the head of the table and sat down, speaking first:

"Qiansi City has fallen. The alchemists stationed there have lost contact, the complex alchemical array on the city walls has collapsed, and the entire city has fallen."

He paused for a moment to allow everyone to process what he had said.

"The enemy is not just one force, and each force is extremely large. They are currently spreading outwards from the city of Qiansi."

"The next city is closer to the invaders' route of advance; at the current speed, it should arrive in about three days."

The mid-level alchemy master spoke, his voice filled with solemnity:

"Qiansi City is a large city, and its defensive formations are top-notch. The structure was personally designed by an alchemy master, so it shouldn't be able to withstand even two days."

"Could it be that the enemy breached the defenses from within?"

Casper didn't argue with him, but simply pushed another crystal onto the table.

It was a fragment of a record retrieved from the ruins of a battlefield, which showed the figure of the Divine Abomination standing at the breach, and the image of its grayish-white breath disintegrating the alchemical array was clearly visible.

The air in the conference room fell silent for a moment, everyone wary of that grayish-white breath.

Casper spoke first: "The enemy is stronger than ever before, possessing methods to counter alchemy arrays. We must nip them in the bud as soon as possible!"

"This time, all five of us will go into battle, and we've also brought our elite team. We can't let them defeat us one by one; we must face them head-on before they can react."

The other two intermediate-level alchemy masters exchanged a glance and raised no objections.

If Qiansi City has fallen, the other cities will likely be even less able to hold out.

Scattered defenses have proven ineffective; continuing to wait will only cause the defensive line to crumble further. We must concentrate our forces and quickly eliminate the enemy!

Otherwise... the whole world will become a living hell!

The order was given, and the alchemists began to assemble.

Five alchemy masters, each leading an elite team of skilled sorcerers, converged from different directions.

The soldiers gripped their weapons, and the alchemists adjusted their transmutation arrays. No one spoke; everyone was heavy-hearted.

The enemy's numbers are terrifying; many people may not return from this war.

Casper walked at the head of the procession, and behind him, the alchemists who had gathered from all directions formed an ever-growing and thicker army.

Casper saw the billowing dust on the distant horizon, then looked away and signaled for the group to continue.

The plume of smoke was moving in the same direction as them, its trajectory straight, as if it were heading towards the same intersection.

The target is the legion led by the god-like being!

This time, the most elite alchemists have been assembled. If they cannot defeat the enemy, then they will have no choice but to ask the great "Aldric" to come out of seclusion.

Otherwise... the alchemy world will be in danger!
