Chapter 173 Reinforcements Arrive
Chapter 173
The sky was clear and blue, white clouds were floating leisurely, and a galloping figure passed through the sky like lightning.
It was a knight, wearing gold and red armor, riding a horse burning with sacred flames, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.
The speed was so fast that it even tore the surrounding air, dragging out a deafening roar.
Boom! This knight is none other than the leader of the Mysterious Fire Knights, the ninth-level knight Cindy!
At this moment, his face was solemn, his eyes were burning with rage, and the fighting spirit on his body was steaming up, forming a twisted hot halo, as if it would ignite the space at any time.
He squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the horse neighed, and its speed increased again! Even when he destroyed hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of the great wizard Youde, he had never lost face like this.
The reason why this ninth-level knight lost so much of his luster was...
Something happened to his disciple, Fao!
Just now, he clearly sensed that Fao's life fluctuations were experiencing violent turbulence, so he immediately took action to save him.
However, when he was halfway to his target location, Cindy's face suddenly changed and her heart sank.
Faol's aura disappeared! No, not just the aura was cut off, but it disappeared completely.
Even the subtle telepathy between him and Fao was severed in an instant.
It was as if Fao had been completely wiped out from this world! "Impossible!"
Cindy's eyes were bloodshot, and she growled in disbelief, almost daring to accept this fact, "How could the goddess's protection... suddenly disappear?!!"
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost pierced into his palms, his chest heaved violently, and his expression was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
Fao is not only his most proud disciple, but also the one on whom he places all his hopes!
That child is extremely talented, and he will surely be promoted to a legendary knight in the future. Even if he gets the chance, it is not a luxury for him to ascend to the realm of gods!
But now...his disciple disappeared inexplicably?! Cindy's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he exuded a murderous intent! No matter what was ahead, he must find Fao!
However, just as he was forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart and continued to gallop forward, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded in his ears through the spiritual fluctuations:
"Cindy, there are several level 3 wizards ahead of you, come back quickly."
The source of this voice is none other than the legendary wizard, Lord Lingge, one of the Seven Stars!
Cindy's heart suddenly tightened, her breathing stagnated for a moment, and her face suddenly became even uglier.
The wizard army has arrived? !
If he dared to continue moving forward at this moment, he would probably run into the army of wizards.
At that time, even if he was a ninth-level knight, he would face many third-level wizards.
There is even a chance that you might encounter the Morning Star Wizard who is almost a god among the wizard army...
Even if it was him, once he fell into the wizard army, he would be dead!
Cindy clenched her fists, her knuckles made crackling sounds, and a hint of struggle flashed in her eyes.
He was unwilling to accept this and could even be said to be furious!
However, reason eventually overwhelmed impulse.
“Fao!!”
He growled, the anger in his chest almost exploding, but in the end, he pulled the reins hard, and the warhorse let out a long, shrill neigh.
It drew a sharp turn in the air and rushed towards the goddess' army!
…………………………
In the vast sky, dark clouds rolled and thunder was faintly heard.
A huge floating fortress broke through the air, like a giant steel beast, dragging a dark red energy tail, tearing through the air, and speeding across the sky.
War Fortress No. 13, the war fortress of the Eastern Theater, is now advancing at full speed.
In the command room, Great Wizard Yod and Great Wizard Earl were observing whether the legendary wizard showed any signs of chasing them.
The wind was whistling, and the witchcraft radar made a slight hum in the command room. Scanning ripples spread to the sky, detecting possible enemy traces.
However, everything remained calm, but the more so, the more vigilant they became.
At the same time, Great Wizard Earl quickly established communication with the Eastern War Zone, wanting to know when reinforcements would arrive.
Right at this moment!
"My Lords, look!"
A hurried voice suddenly sounded in the command room, breaking the brief silence.
Yod and Earl looked stern and quickly walked towards the second-level wizard who spoke.
Their eyes fell on the witchcraft screen, and then their pupils suddenly shrank.
On the screen, a spectacular scene appeared! Giant steel beasts, one after another, were slowly floating in from the distant sky.
They were gigantic, with intricate magical patterns engraved on their shells and surging with dark blue energy waves, like divine warships descending from the depths of the sky.
And around these war fortresses, densely packed small aircraft are circling like a swarm of bees.
They flew swiftly, like a swarm of buzzing mechanical bees, accompanied by faint traces of light, drawing tracks in the sky.
This is the support force from the Eastern Theater! "Reinforcements have arrived!"
Waves of spiritual fluctuations surged in the warship, and a hint of excitement appeared on the wizards' faces.
Other war fortresses in the Eastern Theater finally arrived at the battlefield!
Just as War Fortress No. 13 was observing other war fortresses, projections were projected one after another.
Translucent figures appeared in the center of the command room. They were dressed differently: some wore heavy mechanical armor, with rune devices on their shoulders flashing a faint blue glow;
Some wore dark robes, with magic crystals flickering on the tops of their wizard staffs, giving off a deep and mysterious aura.
They were all the commanders of the war fortresses of the Wizarding Alliance! Moreover, without exception, they were all level 3 great wizards, one of the top combat forces below the Morning Star Wizard!
"You two, how is the battle going now?"
"Where has the goddess' army advanced to now?"
The wizards in the projection asked in a deep voice. Although their tone was steady, there was a hint of solemnity in their expressions.
Great Wizard Youde took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The goddess' army is still approaching."
"This time, the leader is Lingge, one of the Seven Stars, the legendary wizard!"
As soon as the words fell, all the wizards in the projections showed a hint of surprise.
The two sides have been fighting for such a long time, and this is the first time that Qixing has personally taken to the battlefield. It seems that the real war between the two sides is indeed not far away.
However, Youde's next words made the air stagnant for a moment.
"More importantly..."
"This time, he came with the weapons of the Demon Net Goddess."
In an instant, the atmosphere in the command room froze, and the eyes of all the wizards became extremely solemn.
The weapon of the Demon Net Goddess...
That is not an ordinary item, but a divine artifact that embodies the power of faith and divine authority.
In the civilization of gods, seeing the goddess's artifact is like seeing the goddess herself.
Once fully activated, it might even tear apart space and destroy a war fortress!
At this moment, Great Wizard Yode and Great Wizard Earl could finally relax and breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they simply communicated with other war fortresses about what had happened before and exchanged intelligence.
Finally, the Great Wizard Earl looked at the screen and saw that in addition to them, there were nine huge steel beasts floating in the air.
Earl glanced across the tactical screen, his expression slightly gloomy, and he murmured softly:
"We have a total of ten war fortresses here?"
In the witchcraft projection, a great wizard wearing mechanical armor responded in a deep voice: "Not bad."
"This time, in order to be cautious and avoid falling into a trap, the Eastern Theater only sent out nine war fortresses to ensure that the battle situation is under control."
When Yod and Earl heard this, their eyes flickered slightly.
Ten war fortresses meant that they had at least twenty level three wizards gathered on their side.
Not to mention the huge number of second-level wizards, first-level wizards, mechanical puppets, and many long-range destructive weapons! These combat forces are definitely not weak, and it is obvious that the Eastern Theater also attaches a certain degree of importance to this.
However, in this extraordinary world where great power is attributed to one person, numbers are often only a secondary factor.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When absolute mass comes crushing, any accumulation of quantity seems pale and powerless.
Even if one gathered a hundred level three wizards, they would still be far less powerful than a Morning Star wizard.
That is a level beyond the mundane, and is the first point of sublimation in the wizard system.
The great wizard Earl pondered for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively:
"I wonder where Lord Morning Star is now?"
He wanted to know what the Morning Star Wizards in the Eastern Theater were doing now.
Those real decision makers, their judgment of the war situation will directly affect the direction of the wizard army.
However, the commanders of the war fortresses in the projection all shook their heads, with a look of helplessness on their faces.
"We were ordered to come to support, but as for the specific plans of Master Morningstar..."
"That's not something we can know."
This answer made the two great wizards, Yod and Earl, frown slightly.
They wanted to get more information from commanders in other war zones, but the movements of the Morning Star Wizards remained a mystery.
These high-ranking beings, like the chess players on the chessboard, truly control the situation of the entire expedition world war.
They are the real masters of the wizard army, controlling the overall situation, making decisions, and determining the direction of action of the entire wizard army.
As for level 3 wizards like Yod and Earl, even though they were commanders of war fortresses, they were only mid-level commanders in the expeditionary battles.
Their duty is to follow the orders of the Morning Star Wizard and command the second-level wizards, first-level wizards and mechanical puppets under their command to execute tactics.
"So, what should we do next..."
Yod pondered and looked at the commanders of the major war fortresses in the projection.
At this moment, the commanders of the ten war fortresses were all thinking about the next strategic action.
At the same time, at the other end of the world, the Goddess' army camp also quietly stopped its advance.
Lingge, the legendary wizard, stood in mid-air, looking in the direction of the wizard's front line, his eyes as cold as ice.
He had learned that reinforcements from the wizard army had arrived.
However, the goddess' army was exhausted from the long journey and had just experienced a difficult expedition. Now was the critical moment for them to rest and recuperate.
Now is not the best time to start a bigger war.
What's more, they have already gained a lot from this expedition.
Their army, like a sharp dagger, pierced deeply into the territory occupied by wizards!
They swept across the land, destroyed countless alien purification devices, broke through one fortress after another, shattered the wizard's front line, and achieved their initial strategic goals.
Linger's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly gave the order: "Pass the order down, organize the troops on the spot, open up strongholds, build castles and trenches, and hold the position."
As his orders were conveyed, waves of magic spread throughout the military camp.
The mages of the goddess' army cast spells one after another. The earth surged, rocks rose from the ground, and magic barriers intertwined into a web. In a very short time, towering castles rose from the ground.
The goddess army has firmly established its foothold on this battlefield! ………………………………
The leaders of both sides did not want to engage in an unclear war right away.
Therefore, neither the wizard army nor the goddess army was in a hurry to attack at this moment, but chose to consolidate their strongholds, collect intelligence, and test the opponent's strength.
At the same time, the assault team and intelligence team previously dispatched by the Thirteenth War Fortress, as well as the surviving castle defenders, also returned to report on their work.
War Fortress No. 13, on the deck.
Figures gathered from all directions, some returning from the battlefield, some withdrawing from intelligence missions.
Lynn stood on the edge of the deck, looking into the distance.
His gaze first passed across the deck and looked at the war fortresses standing side by side.
One huge steel fortress after another is suspended in the air, as huge as silent beasts.
The surface was flashing with a cold metallic glow, like a huge army of aerial wizards, quietly hovering above the battlefield.
Then, Lin En retracted his gaze and looked at the wizards on the deck in front of him.
At this moment, a group of embarrassed survivors gathered here.
Among them, some were from the assault team, some were from the castle guards, all of them were wizards who survived the fierce attack of the goddess' army.
Some unlucky ones have already died in the invasion of the goddess' army.
For example, the assault team that Lin En is in has a total of eight official wizards, but now Lin En is the only lucky one left.
"Lynn Cole."
A mechanical voice broke the silence.
A wizard in a mechanical robe stood in front of the identification device, his eyes flickering with data. After confirming Lin En's identity, he looked at him with complicated eyes.
"Unfortunately... you are the only one who returned from the Seventh Assault Team."
Although the mechanical wizard's tone was calm, there was a hint of respect in his eyes.
In his opinion, Lin En was the only survivor who emerged from the sea of corpses and blood, which required not only great strength but also unparalleled luck.
The mechanical wizard's attitude towards Lin En was obviously respectful. After confirming his identity, he even smiled for the first time and said in a gentle tone, "Welcome back."
In response, Lynn nodded slightly without saying much. After calmly completing his report, he walked across the deck and headed into the war fortress.
He had heard that the internal structure of the Thirteenth War Fortress was extremely complex, covering numerous functional areas such as the witchcraft experiment area, mechanical workshop, fortress command center, and armory.
However, he had been here for such a long time to explore the world, but he had never been here before.
When he first came, he was directly sent to guard the castle as a guardian wizard.
Not long ago, he received another transfer order, asking him to come here to change his position, but he happened to run into the invasion of the goddess' army.
From the beginning to the end, he never had a clear understanding of the entire fortress.
