Chapter 174 Defense zone deployment, the first wave of insect swarm!
Choosing plate armor with a shield, Jepas unexpectedly paid attention to his own safety.
Jepas knew that he was not strong.
If he encounters an insect beast with mid-to-late stage strength, he may not be able to defeat it.
Instead of going up and giving away your life, it’s better to rely on the shield to defend and hold on a little longer.
Protect yourself, delay time and wait for rescue.
The only way to survive is to survive.
When did Wizard Jepas start to embark on the path of survival?
Lu Feng's gaze couldn't help but linger on him for a few more seconds.
Turning around and seeing the green wooden staff in Luo Ke's hand, Lu Feng frowned slightly.
Approaching Luo Ke, Lu Feng asked with concern: "Do you have any defensive wizard secret treasure in your hand? Isn't it a bit unsafe to just hold the green wooden staff?"
Luo Ke was promoted to a first-class official wizard not long ago. In the past one or two years, he had just mastered the Green Spirit Wood Meditation Method and condensed the soul seed, completing the first stage of a first-class official wizard. The latter stage of his innate witchcraft, the ancient tree body, has not yet been solidified.
He does not possess the strength of a complete first-level formal wizard.
It is estimated that he has not learned much of the other first-level witchcraft. The green wooden staff can enhance the effect of witchcraft and increase attack power, but it lacks the ability to protect itself. Lu Feng is a little worried about Luo Ke's safety in the upcoming insect plague.
Facing Lu Feng's concern, Luo Ke smiled while holding the green wooden staff and said, "It's okay. After I was promoted to a first-level official wizard, my family also supported me with a first-level intermediate wizard secret treasure, which is specially used to protect myself. It's very safe, don't worry! Hehehe!"
As she spoke, Luo Ke straightened her not-so-thick chest. An exquisite rose brooch on her chest shone brightly under Luo Ke's control, giving people a sense of security and stability.
This is the secret treasure of the protective wizard that the Rocco family gave her.
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows, almost forgetting that Luo Ke had a wealthy family behind her that could support her wizard career.
Unlike an independent person like him, he has to fight for all resources on his own.
After taking a look at Luo Ke’s brooch secret treasure, Lu Feng felt relieved.
Seeing that the three had chosen their own wizard treasures, Ms. Natasha waved her hand to signal them that they could leave and go back to prepare for how to deal with the next insect invasion.
"Goodbye, ma'am!"
Lu Feng and the other two said goodbye to Ms. Natasha and returned to their respective residences.
Lu Feng and Luo Ke traveled together and exchanged some experiences about "insect plagues".
"If you encounter any powerful insect monsters that you can't deal with in the area you are guarding later, just notify me directly. I will rush over immediately and help you solve the problem!" Lu Feng reminded Luo Ke before leaving in front of the door of the residence.
"I understand! But, Rest, you have to be careful when defending!" Luo Ke nodded to show that he understood and thanked him.
Luo Ke often communicated with Lu Feng about the practice of wizard magic, and had some understanding of Lu Feng's strength.
If a real fight broke out, Luo Ke felt that Lu Feng could pin her to the ground and hang her under a hammer with just two of his hands.
The gap was so huge that sometimes during the competition, Luo Ke felt powerless.
I felt that my fairy blood was fake and I had no advantage in front of Lu Feng.
After saying goodbye to Luo Ke, Lu Feng returned to his residence.
We are having a meeting today, and there are only three days left until the insect plague arrives.
Ms. Natasha has already discussed with them the countermeasures for the insect plague at today's meeting.
During these two days, he only needs to check the wizard apprentices and defense facilities in his defense zone, arrange for the wizard apprentices to gather ordinary people in the defense zone, and prepare to resist the insect plague.
For these things, there are third-class wizard apprentices among the wizard apprentices who will implement these detailed tasks step by step. Lu Feng only needs to take control of the overall aspects.
Other than that, Lu Feng didn't need to prepare anything.
Most of the insect plagues that come are ordinary insect monsters, which will be handed over to wizard apprentices to resist.
What formal wizards like Lu Feng need to face are the elite and lord-level insect monsters in the insect swarm. The strength of these insect monsters will exceed the resistance of wizard apprentices and reach the level of formal wizards, making it easy to break through the defense line.
Lu Feng paid special attention to this type of insect monster and carried out decapitation operations.
Lu Feng still had some confidence in his own abilities, so there was nothing he needed to prepare.
After using the two wizard secret treasures he got for free from Teacher Tia's treasure house and becoming proficient in their operation, Lu Feng sat down in the training room and continued to absorb energy and cultivate the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
The next day, dawn.
Before dawn, Lu Feng came back to his senses from his training.
Feeling the Qingmu Spirit Realm, which had absorbed the energy of heaven and earth overnight and became stronger, a smile flashed across Lu Feng's face.
"Take your time. The Five Elements Spiritual Veins are complete. I have no more bottlenecks in my promotion to a second-level wizard. What remains is to collect resources for the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, cultivate it slowly, and kill time."
Lu Feng looked at the time, stood up, and tidied himself.
Putting on a well-fitting wizard robe, carrying the Flame Dragon Lance, and hanging the secret treasure necklace around his neck, Lu Feng looked at himself in the mirror and said with a smile:
"I look pretty handsome like this. Just standing in front of the wizard apprentice, I can probably charm countless junior school girls!"
Of course, Lu Feng was just thinking about it.
He is almost eighty years old and has long since gotten rid of these vulgar interests.
Walking out of his residence, Lu Feng came to the outside of the verdant tower.
A pitch-black tower spirit puppet emerged from the wall of the wizard tower and came to Lu Feng.
Reported back to him without emotion:
"Mr. Rest, Irene Doll No. 334 is at your service!"
"Irene can provide you with short-range communication services near the wizard tower, map services, and automated attack assistance services for war machines within the defense zone."
Lu Feng was not surprised by the appearance of Irene Doll No. 334.
This is a puppet made by Irene, the towering spirit of the green tower.
The real body of Towerling Irene has actually been stored in the core area of the Verdant Tower. It is huge and inconvenient to move.
Irene has never left the core area. The Irenes that Lu Feng usually sees are all mechanical puppets connected and controlled by Talling Irene.
Comparing with things in Lu Feng's previous life, Tower Spirit Irene is equivalent to an artificial intelligence that manages the wizard tower, and the mechanical doll is connected to Irene's mobile phone, computer and other smart devices.
Tower Spirit Irene arranged a large number of mechanical puppets in the verdant tower to facilitate the staff in the wizard tower to communicate and contact the tower spirit at any time.
Irene No. 334 was the one sent by Irene to assist Lu Feng in guarding the defense zone.
Nodding to Irene No. 334, Lu Feng raised a gust of breeze and directly lifted the Irene doll into the air.
After flying for a while, Lu Feng arrived at the garrison area assigned to him by Ms. Natasha and landed on a small golden tree square.
At this time, the sun slowly rose in the sky.
The golden morning sun cast a layer of golden glow on the towering little golden trees in the square.
The Little Golden Tree Square is now filled with wizard apprentices and golden knights guarding the area.
"Meet Lord Rest!"
Seeing Lu Feng coming, everyone in the square saluted to Lu Feng.
The wizard apprentice bowed his head and touched his chest to show respect, and the golden knight knelt on one knee and pounded his chest with his hand to show his loyalty.
Lu Feng stood on the high platform under the small golden tree, glanced at the people in the square, and nodded in response.
Blue light appeared in the eyes of the Irene 334 puppet beside him, and portraits of wizard apprentices were projected in front of him, with a brief introduction of them and the tasks assigned to them.
Lu Feng glanced over it. He had already gone through these things yesterday and memorized them by heart.
Lu Feng slightly released the aura of a first-level official wizard to shock the minds of the people in the square, and then he said:
"I don't like nonsense. You all know what will happen in the next month. The insect plague is not only a disaster, but also a test for you and the Green Tower. Since it is a test, as long as you can pass it, we in the Green Tower will naturally reward you generously."
Although these words are old ones, Lu Feng still wants to say them again.
Show both the difficulties and benefits of insect plagues at the same time to fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for preventing insect plagues.
"One last question. Do you have the confidence to fight off the insect plague?"
“Yes!” “Yes!!” “Yes!!”
The shouts were deafening and the emotions were high.
I don’t know whether Lu Feng’s speech is useful.
But the wizard apprentices and knights in the square all knew about the generosity of the Green Tower and the insect plague, a disaster that occurs once every twenty years.
It is both a test and an opportunity.
Excellent performance in resisting pests can bring a lot of benefits.
Taring Irene will faithfully record everyone's war achievements.
Killing and assisting will earn you corresponding merits.
Magic stones, spell models, wizard secrets, precious potions.
Everything they need will appear on the wartime merit exchange list.
Killing more insects means more benefits; this has long become a "label" for insect plagues.
After Lu Feng finished the mobilization, he began to call out the names of the third-class wizard apprentices one by one and assigned them some key tasks.
Lead patrols, defend strategic points, and transport supplies
These were all things that had been discussed and arranged in advance by Talling Irene and many wizard apprentices. Lu Feng was mainly responsible for managing the process, paying attention to some details, and did not have to worry about the specific operations.
In the next two days, Lu Feng patrolled his defense area.
The land is triangular in shape, and Lu Feng is guarding the leafy land in the middle. He also needs to protect the rear defense areas of Jepas and Rocco.
The area is not small, probably as big as a prefecture-level city in the previous life.
He had the largest number of people gathered here, with 6,000 wizard apprentices alone, 30,000 regular knight-level soldiers, and some adventurers from the ordinary people who came to assist in the defense, totaling 50,000 people.
It would be easy to flatten his Trandi sub-continent with just a move.
However, compared to a defense zone as large as a prefecture-level city, it is still sparsely populated. However, the insect monsters appear in fixed areas through wormholes connected to energy-absorbing ancient trees. There may be several locations, but they are not too scattered, so it is relatively easy to defend.
Three days passed in a flash, and the time for the insect plague notified by the inspector arrived.
On the eve of the storm, a heavy atmosphere permeated Lu Feng's defense zone.
Although the wizard apprentices and knights were full of confidence, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous when the real insect plague came.
Woo woo!
As the sun rose on the fourth day, a low horn sounded in the Botanical Garden. Although the sound was low, it spread throughout the entire Botanical Garden in an instant, and countless wizard towers were shaken.
"The war horn has sounded! Everyone get ready!"
Hearing the sound of the horn, Lu Feng opened his eyes from cultivation and shouted softly.
Upon hearing the horn, without Lu Feng's order, the wizard apprentices in the defense zone had already taken action with their companions.
Irene Doll No. 334 projected a map of the defense zone in front of Lu Feng's eyes, and all the terrain in the defense zone was clearly visible.
"Once the war horn sounds, the wormhole that transports the insect monsters will slowly open. However, the insect monsters that emerge from the newly-appeared wormhole are weak and few in number. A few knights can handle them. There won't be much of a problem in the early stages!"
Lu Feng stared at the projected map, and soon, seven light red spots appeared on the map.
As soon as the round spot appeared, light spots representing wizard apprentices and knights immediately appeared around the map, rapidly surrounding the round spot representing the wormhole, and the light red color on the wormhole spot quickly faded.
"Seven wormholes, less dangerous!"
Lu Feng didn't take this wormhole seriously, as the wormhole wizard apprentices who got up early could handle it.
With a tap of his finger, the projected map enlarged and Lu Feng saw a clear scene near a wormhole.
Wormhole No. 1, located directly north of Lu Feng, appeared in a farmland and is currently 20 meters in diameter.
The insect monster that came out of the wormhole is a red-capped beetle that is four or five meters long and as big as an elephant. It has great strength and a pair of huge and ferocious pincers. With a slight force, it can clamp down a tree that a person can hug.
A red-capped beetle is basically a knight.
However, the red-capped beetle was slow and clumsy, and was no match for the experienced knight.
A knight raised his spear, looking for the gap where the red-capped beetle was stuck, and he could easily knock the red-capped beetle over.
More than a hundred red-capped beetles emerged from wormhole No. 1 at one time. They were quickly reduced to corpses under the siege of two teams of golden knights and three wizard apprentices.
After encircling and suppressing the first wave of red-crowned beetles, Wormhole No. 1 paused for a short time, and then erupted again about twenty minutes later, spitting out a large number of red-crowned beetles, this time with a larger number, more than two hundred.
However, the nearby golden knights, adventurers, and wizard apprentices had gathered when the first wave of red-capped beetles appeared, and the second wave of red-capped beetles did not cause any waves.
All turned into corpses and merits.
In addition to the red-capped beetles in wormhole No. 1, some basin-sized poisonous spiders emerged from wormhole No. 2. The poison they carry can easily turn ordinary people into pus and blood.
The golden knights were fully armored, and many of them had practiced archery, so it didn't take much effort to deal with them.
A group of sickle worms crawled out of Wormhole No. 3, raising their thin arms like swordsmen.
A group of corrosive worms crawled out of wormhole number four, stinking, filthy and poisonous.
Wormhole No. 5, Wormhole No. 6, and Wormhole No. 7 all have their own characteristics.
Lu Feng inspected the seven wormholes from a God's perspective, and the wizard apprentice and the golden knight responded appropriately.
