Chapter 169 Delaying Tactics
Chapter 169
The moment the alien world purification device self-destructed, it was like an extremely dazzling light bomb exploding between heaven and earth.
Brilliant flames burst out, engulfing the sky in an instant, as if a flower of destruction quietly bloomed. The dazzling light was overwhelming, making the entire world look like the sun descending to the earth.
Endless waves of fire rolled like raging waves, as if doomsday had come, and the earth was shaking under the unstoppable force.
boom! The deafening explosion resounded through the sky, as if it was going to tear the entire earth apart.
The energy storm rolled wildly in the void, turning into twisted whirlpools, and the terrifying shock waves swept in all directions like a violent hurricane.
The city walls that were as solid as a fortress were instantly shattered by the impact. The shattered stone walls and twisted and collapsed steel towers were all reduced to dust in the raging flames.
Even the most tenacious defensive barrier is as fragile as paper in the face of this world-destroying storm and has no power to resist.
The wizards didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly evaporated by the hot light and turned into ashes, which were dissipated by the wind.
The mages from the Goddess camp in the distance were not spared either.
Those mages who were not hit head-on, even if they were standing in a relatively safe area, were burned and deformed in the aftermath of the light. They twisted and melted in an instant, turning into a wisp of light gray mist that drifted away with the flames.
However, in this doomsday-like scene, only that majestic figure stood still like a mountain.
When the light of destruction shone brightly, the legendary wizard had already taken action.
He raised his hand high, and a blue-white star shone brightly in the palm of his hand, turning into a huge star shield, like a barrier in the sky, blocking the forefront of the violent attack.
The Star Shield was indestructible in the midst of the flames, like an eternal sky, blocking the surging shock waves.
Even so, the aftermath was still like the tail of a dragon, tearing apart part of the mage army.
Many mages who were unable to react in time were hit by the afterglow while screaming, and turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
For a moment, the morale of the mage army, which had been so aggressive, suddenly stagnated.
The great wizard Yod, who self-destructed the alien world purification device, shocked everyone with his determination and madness.
However, the legendary wizard simply raised his head calmly. The blue-white stars in his palm became more and more blazing, and his voice was as mighty as that of a god:
"For Mystra! The Leyline is eternal!"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield.
The weapon of the Demon Net Goddess is seven blue and white stars, and the one in the hand of the legendary wizard is one of them.
For those mages, it was no less than the presence of the goddess herself, so the boost to morale can be imagined.
"For the goddess!"
"For the Demonic Web!"
Countless mages raised their staffs high and shouted with high morale. Their fighting spirit rose again like a huge wave, with such mighty momentum that it shook the heavens and the earth.
The shouts were like a tsunami, and the morale of the army burst out again like a turbulent tide, setting off a surge of fighting spirit!
In front of the army, the aftermath of the self-detonation of the alien world purification device was still raging, and the environment of heaven and earth was solidified into the appearance of a wizarding world, cold, murderous and lifeless.
This strange change is undoubtedly a huge threat and suppression to the army of mages.
However, the Goddess camp has already been fully prepared for this.
This is the first battle between the goddess and the wizard, and they will never give in easily.
The legendary wizard Lingge tightly grasped the blue and white stars in his palm, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The next moment, the stars twinkled!
The divine power of the Goddess of Demon Net surged in that star, gushing out like a vast ocean and transforming into an endless torrent of divine power that poured into the battlefield.
The divine power crossed the sky, leaving a magnificent and majestic track between heaven and earth, like a dream.
The originally cold and grim land of the wizarding world was quickly dyed black by the divine power, just like thick ink dropped into clear water.
The power of the gods permeated the air and the earth like a tide, forcefully transforming the battlefield environment from the wizard realm to the god realm.
The surrounding world transformed in an instant. The originally cold and depressing wizard atmosphere was completely dispelled, and was replaced by a divine aura full of warmth and vitality.
The army of mages could all feel the familiar and friendly atmosphere between heaven and earth, as if an invisible force was surging in their bodies, dispelling all the oppression of heaven and earth.
Morale rose again in an instant and the desire to fight became even stronger.
And Master Lingge, clad in blue and white divine light, took the lead and led the army to open up a broad path in the enemy camp.
He was like a bright meteor, cutting through the darkness and spreading the glory of the gods everywhere.
Among the army of mages, a ninth-level mage excitedly urged loudly:
"Follow Master Linger!"
Mage Lingge, one of the Seven Stars, is a legendary mage and also one of the highest commanders of this army.
This time, under the will of the Goddess of the Demonic Net, the Goddess's forces were clearly not just waging a war.
What they want is to completely take back this land and spread the light of God again.
Because of this, the Ringer wizard had a blue-white star of the Goddess of the Magic Net directly on his body to spread the glory of the gods.
Moreover, this little trick of the wizard civilization can only be used once.
Because of the casualties caused by the alien world's purification device, the legendary wizard Lingge led the way alone. With the goddess's star, he had no worries about protecting himself.
Therefore, he took the lead and cleared a path for the army of mages.
Even if he encounters the situation of the alien world purification device self-destructing, he can still deal with it.
In the Thirteenth War Fortress, two third-level wizards were observing the thrilling scene on the battlefield through a remote observation array.
"That should be one of the seven legendary wizards!"
"Moreover, the blue and white stars he carries are exactly the same as the seven stars that the Demon Net Goddess carried when she first descended!"
Great Wizard Yod and Great Wizard Earl looked at each other, both with solemn expressions in their eyes, and the pressure in their hearts suddenly rose.
The legendary wizard, although his realm is comparable to that of a late-stage third-level great wizard, on the surface they still belong to the same realm.
But the two cultivation systems are not completely comparable, because in the civilization of gods, legendary wizards are already qualified to receive divine power.
This means that among legends, the difference in combat power can be extremely huge.
Some legendary wizards who have just broken through may only have the combat power equivalent to that of a late-stage third-level great wizard.
However, those legendary wizards who have practiced for a long time and have completely integrated into the power of the gods have long surpassed their peers and even touched the realm of gods. Their strength is far beyond that of ordinary third-level wizards.
At this moment, on the battlefield, the leading legendary wizard was none other than Wizard Lingge, one of the Seven Stars.
Great Wizard Yod and Earl looked at the blue and white stars in Ling'er's hand, and a chill ran down their spines.
They were almost certain that in a head-on confrontation, the blue-white star would be enough to destroy them in an instant, leaving them no room for resistance.
What’s even more terrifying is that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the goddess army.
Perhaps in that vast army, besides Lingge, there are other seven stars hiding.
"Keep your distance! Don't get within attack range!"
The great wizard Earl gave orders quickly, his eyes as sharp as knives, revealing coldness and decisiveness.
"Send a squad for long-range combat!"
There was a hint of urgency in his voice. After all, their mission was not to engage in a head-on battle, but to delay time as long as possible.
The previous self-destruction of the alien world purification device by the great wizard Yod did have a significant hindering effect, significantly slowing down the advance of the wizard army.
But even so, it is still too early to receive support from other fronts.
"Send out the assault team and the suicide squad, and have them lie in wait, waiting for an opportunity to harass the mage army!"
The great wizard Earl continued to arrange his tactics, his tone revealing decisiveness.
"Adjust the weapon system, and lock all firepower on that legendary wizard!"
"Follow my orders. Once you get the chance, unleash your firepower instantly!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the great wizard Youde, and a slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Our energy reserves can instantly kill a powerful late-stage third-level wizard! Even if this legendary wizard is hit by this blow, he will be seriously injured if not killed!"
Under the command of the two great wizards, the huge war fortress floating in the sky began to change.
Lines of magical energy flickered on the outer wall of the fortress, the energy core emitted a low roar, and the giant turrets slowly turned, all aimed in the direction of Lingge.
It was like a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time, slowly waking up and exuding a suffocating pressure.
All around the fortress, wizard puppets were quietly activated, battle arrays were fully empowered, and energy fluctuations continued to rise like a tide.
The aiming systems of all weapons instantly locked onto Master Linger, with a destructive light faintly surging from the muzzles of the guns.
At the same time, on the deck of the war fortress, one aircraft after another was ready.
Just like hail falling in dense masses, those aircrafts broke away from the fortress one after another, rushed into the ground below, and turned into dark shadows, drawing strange trajectories in the air.
These aircraft are completely different from ordinary aircraft.
They are covered with a unique metal coating, which, combined with witchcraft arrays, can achieve almost 99% invisibility.
Not only that, these aircraft are also equipped with a variety of sophisticated weapons. Compared with ordinary aircraft, the difference is as huge as that between fighter jets and civil aircraft.
At this moment, a flying vehicle as black as night paused slightly in mid-air, then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the predetermined direction.
In the cockpit of the aircraft, a figure wearing Gray Eagle armor was concentrating on controlling the instruments. It was Lin En.
"Damn it, this is such bad luck that this assault team is actually leaving the war fortress to intercept the army of mages!"
Lin En's face was gloomy, and his heart was filled with helplessness and irritability.
I was assigned to this assault team on the deck to carry out a mission, and it turned out to be such a life-threatening job.
Driving an aircraft deep into enemy territory is simply courting death.
He even had the urge to fly away in his aircraft.
But this is obviously just a thought. Escaping from the battlefield would mean death. If he was discovered, no one could save his life even if he ran to the ends of the earth.
With no other options, Lin En could only bite the bullet and follow behind several aircraft in front of him, moving in a low-key manner.
At this moment, the team leader's slightly hoarse voice was heard in the team voice channel.
"The mission given to us is to delay the enemy. Be careful not to go too deep! Just attack from a distance and use up all the weapons and ammunition! The hit rate is not important, delaying time is the key!"
"Control the aircraft well, don't linger in the fight, and don't stay too long to attack!"
The team leader paused, his tone softened, and said with some encouragement:
"Finally, I wish you all a safe return. Come on!"
Hearing this, Lin En felt slightly relieved.
Although the mission was still extremely dangerous, at least there was no need to fight head-on, which gave Lin En some hope of survival.
He looked around the interior of the aircraft, his eyes sweeping over the complex and sophisticated control panels and buttons, and he felt a little more relaxed.
The unique features of this aircraft, such as stealth, may really increase one's chances of survival.
Recalling how the captain's expression relaxed slightly after hearing that he was good at mechanics, Lin En understood the reason to some extent.
Most wizards would probably be at a loss when faced with so many densely packed buttons and complex functions, but Lin En was different. He only needed a brief introduction to get started quickly.
Thinking of this, Lin En gritted his teeth and thought to himself:
"I didn't have the chance to take out the token this time. When I return safely, I must change to a safer position..."
With mixed feelings, Lin En gripped the joystick tightly, staring at the constantly updated data and marks on the aircraft screen. His nerves were tense and he did not dare to be careless at all.
At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the distance, and the entire aircraft trembled slightly.
Lin En quickly lowered his head to check the surveillance screen, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and the energy values on the screen were skyrocketing! One hundred degrees, two hundred degrees, five hundred degrees, one thousand degrees...
The energy value soared to the limit almost instantly, exceeding the detection range of the aircraft, and the value directly jumped into red.
Lynn's eyes widened, and he could only watch the shocking sight with his naked eyes.
Their team of aircraft was hiding beneath the war fortress.
Looking up, you can see the huge war fortress in the air. The muzzles of its thick cannons are slowly opening and locking onto targets in the distance.
boom! The next moment, a terrifying beam of light with a diameter of several meters burst out from the fortress, tearing through the air like a punishment from heaven, and shot towards the sky above the goddess' army!
The beam of light carried an indescribable destructive force. Wherever it passed, everything seemed to be swallowed up by the light, and the space along the way was violently distorted.
Lin En felt that his eardrums were almost broken, and the bright trajectory of the light beam penetrating the sky was so dazzling that it seemed to burn his retina.
He was horrified, realizing that the power of this attack had already exceeded a thousand degrees, or even more terrifying values, and was definitely enough to evaporate all living things in an instant! "This attack... even a late-stage third-level wizard would find it difficult to escape unscathed..."
Lin En took a deep breath, his heart pounding like a drum, and cold sweat already dripping down his back.
Although Lynn had witnessed Morning Star Wizard-level attacks before, he had never quantified those attacks like he did now.
Whether it was the maple tree activating the spirit of the blue sky, the big hand of Aquila, or the strange attacks from alien creatures.
The attacks they launched were often of another level or dimension, which were too profound and unfathomable. Lin En was completely unable to understand them at his current level, so naturally his feelings about them were not that deep.
On the contrary, the simple, crude and pure accumulation of power before him had an impact on Lin that was even more terrifying than the previous mysterious witchcraft.
After all, his highest power burst is only 150 degrees.
However, the attack that erupted from the war fortress was so powerful that it was beyond the observation range and it was unknown how high it was!
