Wizard Immortal

Chapter 427

In the desolate wilderness, blood-stained roads meander and slowly converge in a certain direction.

On the distant horizon, a city stands, now radiating a deep blue light.

"The fighting was fierce."

Sitting in the carriage, seeing the faint blue light rising from the city in the distance, Adir spoke softly.

Although it was some distance from the city, he could see very clearly from here.

The distant city was filled with the stench of blood, a thick aura of death rising and settling within it, interspersed with chaotic and disorderly energy, as well as immense fluctuations of magical power.

As for the eerie blue light rising from the city's outskirts, it was clearly the city's protective magic array operating at full capacity, causing the current situation.

"After two whole months of fighting, these underground creatures were like madmen, desperately attacking the witch formation and causing heavy casualties to the warriors guarding the city."

Beside Adir, a beautiful elven girl sat quietly. Listening to Adir's words, she said with a grim expression, "If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have asked His Majesty for help..."

"It's alright," Adir said quietly, his eyes calmly gazing into the distance. "I understand your difficulties. There's no need to overthink things at this crucial time."

He looked at the girl and comforted her, his attitude appearing very gentle.

The elven girl before them was named Isis. She was an envoy sent by Wind City, a student of the Wind City bishop, and also a formal wizard.

As a student of the local priest, Isis had been to the capital and had personally met Adir, which is why she was chosen as the welcoming messenger.

Through Isis, Adir also learned about some of the current situation in Wind City.

It was a terrible tragedy.

Faced with a massive attack from the subterranean creatures, Fengkai City was caught off guard and nearly fell immediately. Fortunately, Isis's teacher noticed something was wrong at the first moment and decisively activated the protective magic array, which blocked the first fierce wave of attacks from the subterranean creatures and allowed Fengkai City to hold out until now.

However, Fengkai City's strength was ultimately weak. It held out for three months, and by then the situation inside was dire. According to Isis, even her teacher, Linas, the garrison chief priest of Fengkai City, was severely injured, and several other formal wizards had died in battle, demonstrating the extent of the devastation.

If Adir hadn't arrived in time, the city might have collapsed and been overrun by the subterranean creatures in just a few days.

Inside the carriage, neither Adir nor Isis spoke, creating a moment of silence, broken only by the occasional, faint sound of horses' hooves.

Adir raised his head, his silver eyes gazing into the distance, seemingly able to penetrate the barriers of space and see the city in the distance.

As for Isis beside him, feeling the tranquility inside the carriage, she shifted uncomfortably, then her gaze involuntarily fell on Adir in front of her, staring blankly at him.

"What are you looking at?"

After an unknown amount of time, a gentle and calm voice rang out.

Adir turned away calmly and looked at Isis in front of him.

"It's nothing..." Isis turned to the side, avoiding direct eye contact with Adir.

Shaking his head, Adir was used to Isis's reaction, and simply said quietly, "Get ready."

"We'll be there soon."

As he finished speaking, he raised his head, his deep eyes gazing at the distant city.

Beneath the distant city, a black aura rose and lingered, carrying with it an intense, almost overwhelming stench of blood, and the stench unique to subterranean creatures.

Two forces were locked in battle. Unfortunately, Adir and his group arrived just in time to witness the attack of the subterranean creatures, which were attacking precisely the direction they were preparing to enter.

"However, it might not be a perfect coincidence. Given the number of these subterranean creatures, they might be surrounding the city from all sides." Adir murmured to himself, looking at the scene on the battlefield in the distance.

The scene before my eyes is terrifying.

Beneath the city walls, countless subterranean creatures fought desperately forward, including races such as orcs, dwarves, and earth demons, as well as many low-intelligence demonic beasts.

There were no battle tactics or formations. These subterranean creatures charged madly towards the city walls, showing no fear of death and charging forward without caring about casualties.

As Adir observed, the corpses and various debris piled up to an extremely high level beneath the city walls, almost reaching halfway up the walls.

"What need is there for any battle tactics? With such a terrifying number, we could overwhelm people simply by piling them up."

Looking at the terrifying and spectacular scene in the distance, Adir sighed softly.

This is also a characteristic of subterranean creatures.

The underground world is home to a large number of demonic beasts. These demonic beasts are not weak, and their reproductive ability is extremely strong. They can be found in countless numbers in the underground world.

The Dark Elf Kingdom happens to be one of the few powers that has mastered the secret art of controlling demonic beasts. Therefore, every time they go to war, they can simply send a large number of demonic beast cannon fodder, along with other slave races, to attack.

In comparison, the Silver Mist Elf is at a complete disadvantage in this regard.

The elven race is inherently slow to reproduce and has a long growth period. In addition, the Silver Mist Elves live in a remote area, and thousands of years of peace and tranquility have caused the power of the Silver Mist Forest to decline, making it no match for the Dark Elves.

If this weren't the Silver Mist Forest, where the Silver Mist Royal Court has a natural geographical advantage, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out by now.

With this thought in mind, Adir shook his head again, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of the underground world.

"Your Highness, the underground creatures are attacking the city!" Andra's voice came from ahead.

They were still some distance from Wind City, but the scouts who had gone ahead had returned and reported what they had seen to Andra and the others.

"I see."

Adir's expression remained unchanged, his face showing no fluctuation: "Ignore those underground creatures, let's charge straight in."

"Charge straight in?" Outside the carriage, upon hearing this order, Andra and the wizards beside him exchanged glances, all appearing somewhat hesitant.

After a long pause, Andra hesitantly nodded, "Yes."

As the order was given, the accompanying knights fell silent.

Some were alarmed, but due to their past good training and discipline, none of the knights uttered a sound. They simply prepared silently, trying their best to get themselves into top condition.

Then, when they were about the same distance away, they began to accelerate, preparing to charge.

As the warhorses neighed, the massive shadow in the distance gradually became clearer, revealing the enormous array of subterranean creatures.

Despite their overwhelming numerical advantage, the subterranean creatures were not entirely unprepared.

On the outermost edge were layers of ferocious magical beasts, which began to awaken as the knights charged, raising their heads and staring fiercely in the direction of Adir.

Adir did not make a move against this layer of defense.

Although he hadn't trained these knights with much dedication, he had still spent several months of his time and effort on them. Every member of the entire knightly order had activated their life seed, and there were quite a few Grand Knights among them. Even in the Maison region, they were one of the top knightly orders.

If we also include the official wizards like Andra stationed within the Knights, the strength of this Knights is comparable to the full power of the Elf Prince.

With such formidable power, they easily broke through the defensive line composed of enormous magical beasts. Apart from a few unlucky ones falling behind, their progress was not significantly hindered.

After overcoming this obstacle, the second level is filled with rising shadows that obscure vision and pose a great danger.

These shadowy auras are highly corrosive; any ordinary person who touches them will be instantly corroded, their entire body and bones turning to ash, leaving not even a trace.

These are all effects caused by the magic array. The dark elf wizards of the underground world also possess powerful magic arrays, which they deployed directly on the outer perimeter of the battlefield, forming this second line of defense.

Faced with this, Andra and the other formal wizards snorted coldly and immediately began to take action together.

A tiny, bright blue light suddenly appeared, creating ripples.

The next moment, a massive storm swept across the area, blowing away all the shadows and fog, leaving only fragments and dust.

"Someone's coming!"

The instant the magic array was broken by Andra and the others, on the battlefield ahead, a dark elf wizard dressed in black turned around and saw the chaos of the defensive line behind him, as well as the distinct white horses.

Looking at the strong wildebeest and the riders behind them, the dark elf wizard was taken aback: "Only these people?"

Observing the scene of seven hundred knights charging before him, he muttered to himself with some uncertainty.

The seven hundred knights before us are indeed powerful. Although we haven't had close contact and don't know their exact strength, the fact that they were able to break through the previous two lines of defense shows that these knights are not weak.

But no matter how strong they are, if they directly charge into the army, the outcome is already predetermined.

The number of demonic beasts here is not in the thousands, but in the tens of thousands. Coupled with a large army of slaves and dark elf wizards, their strength is beyond description. Even if most of the seven hundred knights are real knights, they cannot break through his army.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but before he could sort them out, the scene before him changed.

Ahead, the charging knights began to emit a pale green light, their life seeds being fully activated and entering a phase of explosive life.

Among them, a small number of people were enveloped in pale white battle aura, and the blades they held were terrifyingly bright.

"They're all real knights!!"

Seeing this scene before him, the dark elf wizard who was secretly observing felt a jolt in his heart, and an ominous premonition arose in his mind.

Before he could react, a much grander light began to flash in the center of the seven hundred knights.

This is the first chapter. The author is currently out for lunch; the second chapter should be released around 10:30 PM.
