Chapter 168 The Arrival of Seven Stars
Chapter 168
"Hold on!"
The two third-level wizards clenched the communication items in their hands with serious eyes.
They waited for so long and finally received a reply from above, but they didn't expect that what they received was a military order.
The content of this military order was like a blow to the two men's hearts.
With the scale and combat power of the war fortress, trying to resist the overwhelming enemy forces is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, which is tantamount to suicide.
Just when the two great wizards were livid, thinking that their superiors wanted them to fight to the death, more information came one after another.
They hurriedly continued to interpret it, and the more they read, the anger and resentment in their hearts gradually subsided.
"Defend flexibly and delay as much as possible. Every minute you hold out will count as your military achievement!"
There is deeper content behind this piece of information.
The two great wizards continued to read the subsequent content, their eyes gradually becoming solemn and complicated.
No wonder the Eastern Theater Command did not notice the sudden appearance of massive enemy forces before. It turns out that these enemies are closely connected with the Demon Net Goddess!
On the day when the goddess of the magic net descended, the entire world of the thirteenth plane was shrouded in the astronomical phenomenon of seven stars in a row.
The blazing starlight pierced through the sky like a stream of fire, and even the magic crystals in the wizard tower resonated and hummed.
Even an ordinary wizard can feel the indescribable mysterious power permeating between heaven and earth.
From that day on, the entire plane knew that the Goddess of the Demonic Web had established an avatar in this world and had descended into the world.
However, since that day, the Demon Net Goddess has shown no signs of appearing.
Furthermore, the forces of the Demon Net Goddess showed no signs of a large-scale invasion, but instead entered a stage of gathering strength, as if waiting for something.
Waiting for the goddess of the magic network to issue her oracle.
And this wait lasted for a long time, until today, when the oracle of the goddess finally came.
According to the latest intelligence captured by the Eastern Theater, three points have been confirmed: First, the goddess of the magic net who has been sleeping has finally shown signs of waking up.
Second, she has issued an oracle, and the target is the 13th front, which is the front where the great wizard Youde and his men are stationed.
Thirdly, the reason why these goddess armies were not captured early on was precisely because the Goddess of the Magic Net used a divine barrier to completely hide them.
This sudden encounter was the first head-on confrontation between the wizard civilization and the gods civilization in the true sense.
The previous small-scale battles were nothing more than minor skirmishes in the absence of gods, and could not be called direct conflicts at all.
This time, the Goddess of the Demonic Web cast her gaze personally, imprinting her will on the sky above the battlefield.
The entire Eastern Theater has high expectations for this battle, because this is the first confrontation and they must not show weakness in front of the gods.
The true meaning of the military order for the entire Eastern Theater can be summed up in just one short sentence:
“Can’t lose!”
This confrontation was the first head-on battle between the wizard civilization and the gods civilization.
No matter what, we must not lose! Even a draw is a thousand times better than a rout! At this moment, the 13th War Fortress became the bridgehead in this encounter.
If the Great Wizards Yod and Earl can command accurately, hold their ground and wait for help, and persist until the arrival of the large force of the wizard civilization, then the 13th War Fortress will become a reef, firmly nailed in the tide of the divine army.
Directly disrupt the enemy's formation and buy precious time for subsequent support troops.
This will not only be able to curb the enemy's rapid advance, but will also play a very beneficial role for the wizard civilization in subsequent large-scale wars.
But it is by no means easy.
This was like walking on thin ice for Yoder and Earl. If they made a mistake, the entire war fortress would be destroyed.
It even became the most tragic defeat since the war began, far exceeding the impact of the previous disastrous defeat on the 13th Front.
“We can only give it a try!”
The great wizard Yod had a cold look, his fists clenched, and a hint of madness in his eyes.
The great wizard Earl took a deep breath and followed closely.
Although his superior said that he could retreat if he couldn't hold on any longer, he knew very well that if he retreated without a fight,
The entire Eastern Front would probably be completely defeated, and the two of them would become historical shame.
By then, even if they survive, their reputation will have plummeted to the bottom, and their reputation will be even more terrible than the last defeat.
After deciding to give it a try, Great Wizard Earl quickly took on the role of commander.
He stood in the command room, issuing various orders in an orderly manner: "War Fortress, switch to advance mode!"
The fortress trembled with the roar, and the heavy metal barriers slowly deformed and turned into a war mode. Countless mechanical arms and magic weapons began to adjust themselves, and the huge metal supports changed into a form more suitable for movement.
"The magic crystal cannon is ready, waiting for the order to fire!"
On the deck, dozens of giant magic crystal cannons were raised, with dazzling blue-white light shining from the muzzles, energy runes flashing continuously, and abundant power gathering in the barrels.
"The witchcraft formation is activated!"
At the outermost edge, on the outermost wall of the war fortress, a complex magic circle suddenly lit up, and the fluctuations of magic power surged like a tide.
Countless wizards quickly entered the nodes of the formation, stimulating the core energy of the formation to form a protective shield and energy barrier.
"Send out a team to assist with harassment! Send out the self-destruct aircraft!"
However, after all the orders were issued, the great wizard Earl still felt that it was not enough, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, his expression resolute, and finally made an important decision: "Start the self-destruct program inside those alien purification devices, and be ready to start at any time!"
Inside the command room, all the wizards took a deep breath.
That is an alien world purification device. The core purification stone in it can change the environment within a radius of dozens of miles after the explosion.
Once it erupts, it will completely transform the energy of heaven and earth into an environment unique to wizard civilization in a short period of time.
Directly turn the divine army’s position into the home ground of the wizard army.
It’s just that these things are extremely valuable. If it weren’t for the massive attack by the gods’ civilization, it would only be a matter of time before the 13th Front would fall.
Even the great wizard Earl did not dare to give such an order.
…………………………
As various orders came out from the command room of the war fortress, the entire fortress seemed to come alive in an instant.
The originally silent aerospace mothership entered combat mode with a rumbling sound. The huge metal structure slowly adjusted itself, like a sleeping giant beast waking up. The obsidian deck glowed coldly in the sun.
The mothership was suspended in mid-air, and the surrounding energy shield slowly opened, reflecting brilliant light patterns.
Around the ship, huge magic crystal cannons were positioned, with energy condensed in the muzzles, ready to spew out devastating rage at any time.
Countless robotic arms and magical devices are automatically adjusting and clanging, and the entire mothership seems to be full of fighting will and eager to try.
On the deck, wizards hurriedly shuttled back and forth, connecting the entire mothership's battle network like spiders weaving a web.
Some commanders were shouting orders, and information runes flashed rapidly in the air, conveying the latest instructions to every combatant.
The wizards who were previously waiting for orders from their superiors now have clear responsibilities: either boarding the aircraft to prepare for harassment missions, or entering the tactical room to operate the long-range weapon array.
Some people even rushed to the energy core at the bottom of the mothership to check the operating status of the magic engine.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the entire warship was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Every wizard was extremely busy, as if they didn't even have time to breathe, for fear that if they were a little slow in their actions, they would become the weak link in the battle.
However, in this busy and orderly scene, Lynn stood out.
He stood quietly in a corner of the deck, watching the crowd passing by, with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness on his face.
Today was supposed to be the day for him to hand over his power, but he had just arrived and hadn't completed the procedures when he was suddenly attacked by the army of goddesses.
In other words, he is now equivalent to a "free man" inside the aerospace mothership.
There are no positions, no tasks, and no combat arrangements.
This is not a good thing. In wartime, idle personnel like him may be temporarily recruited at any time, or even directly pulled into a combat team to fill in the numbers, which would be even more troublesome.
Just when Lin En was in a dilemma, a second-level wizard wearing protective armor suddenly noticed him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The opponent walked steadily, the surface of his armor glowed dark red, and his aura was powerful.
He frowned, walked forward with a bit of dignity, and asked in a cold voice: "What's your name? What position are you in charge of? Why are you standing here motionless?"
Lin En felt the other party's powerful aura, so he naturally did not dare to be negligent and quickly reported his situation concisely.
Listening to Lin En's explanation, the second-level wizard's expression changed slightly and his brows frowned even more tightly.
Once the war has begun, it is naturally impossible to let Lin En handle the handover procedures. He is very clear about this.
After a brief thought, he waved to a wizard in the distance and said in a tough tone: "Since you are free, you will be assigned to the Seventh Assault Team and follow the team leader's orders!"
Without any explanation, Lin En was stuffed into the team, and the other party didn't even give him any extra explanation.
In response to this, Lin En smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not dare to say much.
In wartime, if you disobey orders from your superiors, military law is no joke.
In the team, a first-level wizard wearing heavily protected armor looked Lin up and down, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Strength, name, and area of expertise."
Lin En sorted out his thoughts and responded calmly: "Lin En, a mid-level first-level wizard, good at..."
After listening to the report, the wizard nodded slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The wizard who was added to the team was actually a mid-level first-level wizard, and had extensive research in mechanics, which made him a good reinforcement.
Of course, this is just a brief understanding so that we can make further arrangements for Lin En.
The team leader waved his hand and said.
"Okay, follow me."
The two of them walked hurriedly, passing through the extremely busy deck.
Around him were wizards, wizard apprentices, and mechanical puppets coming and going.
…………………………
The army of goddesses in the distance, like a sharp dagger, is swiftly and fiercely piercing into the power territory of the wizard civilization.
The army was so powerful that it swept across heaven and earth.
The pale light of divine power intertwined in the air to form a blazing ocean, enveloping countless warriors and mages.
And in the direction of the goddess' army, a huge device stood quietly on the ground.
It was a purification device from another world, glowing with a dark metallic luster and towering into the clouds.
The surrounding magical energy veins are looming, constantly absorbing chaotic energy from the cracks in the alien world, purifying and suppressing it.
According to the usual arrangement of wizard civilization, in addition to any alien world purification device, there will be numerous guarded castles guarding the surroundings.
These castles are like impregnable iron walls, forming a tight defense line that surrounds the core of the device on all sides.
However, the castle guarding this moment seemed unprepared to face the surging army of goddesses.
The wizards stationed in the castle were awakened by the sudden roar and hurriedly climbed up the watchtower.
When they saw the enemy army that covered the sky, looks of disbelief appeared on their faces, and they were shocked and confused.
"What's going on? Why are the goddess army here?"
"Level 1 alert! Report the news immediately!"
"Quick, contact War Fortress No. 13!"
In the chaos, the wizards guarding the castles were extremely anxious, and even the magic circle on the command platform was shaking slightly due to overload.
They couldn't understand why War Fortress No. 13 didn't have any advance warning.
You know, even if the war fortress has a considerable degree of reconnaissance capabilities, the Goddess Army is protected by divine power, and they only noticed it after the Goddess Army approached a certain range.
However, the defenders of the castles were kept in the dark and were not awakened until the enemy approached.
In fact, this was not their fault, but because the commander of the fortress was unable to decide whether to hold on to this place just a few minutes ago.
Nor was any alert order issued to the garrison castles.
Just as the wizards were panicking and trying to contact the fortress, in the command hall of the 13th War Fortress,
Great Wizard Yod stood in front of the holographic screen, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, closely watching the movements of the enemy forces displayed on the screen.
Seeing that the goddess' army had entered the attack range, he took a deep breath, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and made a cruel and decisive decision.
"Start the self-destruct sequence!"
As soon as the words fell, a scarlet warning light instantly lit up in the central area of the alien world purification device, and a rapid ticking sound echoed in all directions, like a countdown to death.
The faces of the guarding wizards suddenly changed, their eyes filled with despair and confusion. Before they could react, the entire device suddenly exploded.
An incomparably bright light burst out, like a scorching sun that suddenly collapsed, and a devastating torrent of energy swept out in all directions with the purification device as the center.
The defenders of the castle were like dead leaves blown by a strong wind, instantly crumbling into dust.
The garrisoned wizard didn't even have time to scream before he was torn into ashes by the terrifying self-destructive force, and even his soul was completely annihilated at this moment.
If Lin En knew all this, he would probably feel lucky that he left the castle...
The blazing energy shock wave continued forward, sweeping directly across the vanguard of the Goddess' army. Countless warriors and mages were instantly turned into dust in this destructive storm.
But at this critical moment, the vast blue-white starlight covered the battlefield like a sky curtain, forcibly blocking the originally unstoppable destructive force outside.
The barrier exuded a tranquil and absolute majesty. Even the self-destruction impact could only resonate on the outer layer but could not shake it in the slightest.
In front of the barrier, a proud and majestic figure stood quietly, his white hair was like snow, his blue robe was like the stars, his eyes were deep and deep, and a star-like magic circle appeared on his palm.
The aura on him is extremely terrifying, even among the third-level wizards, he is at the top level.
He is a legendary wizard and also one of the seven stars of the Goddess's power!
