"Haha, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The Chimera landed, and the man in black robe stood firmly on the dragon's back, condescending and looking arrogant.
The old wizard in white robes next to him closed his eyes and meditated. He didn't even take out his wand, as if he didn't bother to do anything.
The two men intercepted the airborne team, but neither of them hurriedly took action. Only the man in black robe tapped his wand twice in mid-air.
A few seconds later, nearly a hundred wizards came from the surrounding forests and surrounded the airborne team.
Everyone who was surrounded hurriedly raised their weapons and were alert.
Jiuyou looked at the large number of wizards pouring out around him, but he did not show too much anxiety. Instead, he quietly took out the text and spoke inside: "The target has appeared, act according to the third plan!"
"receive!"
A vague voice came from the other side of the words, and the messenger on the floating stone immediately transmitted the message back to the earth.
For such a large-scale mission, they naturally made various plans before starting the operation, including the situation where they were intercepted by legendary masters before they approached the arcane tower.
The plan they prepared at this time was the so-called third plan: the main attacking team would become a feint attack, and they would hold back this group of people, and then let the group of auxiliary players who had previously boarded the ship and entered the city continue to attack the wizard tower as the main attacking team.
The Wizards Association is known as the Ten Elders, but not all of the ten elders are concentrated in the Ranel Empire. The power of the Wizards Association extends throughout the entire Star Spirit World, and because of this, their head power is greatly dispersed.
Among the ten elders, only four usually guard the headquarters of the Wizards Association in the Ranel Empire, and the other five are scattered in other countries in the Star Spirit World.
The last person left is also a rather special elder, the man in black, who guards an important secret realm on the western border all year round. This secret realm is the focus of competition between the organization behind Shen Feng and the Wizards Association in recent years.
During this period, in order to cooperate with the Fools' tower-destroying operation, Shenfeng and the organization behind it greatly increased their competition for the secret realm, causing the Wizards Association headquarters to send two more elders to check and balance.
As a result, there were only two elders left in the imperial capital, one was the man in white in front of him, and the other was the man in green.
According to the information sent by Shen Feng, the man in green is a junior who has just been promoted to Legend less than half a year ago and has just become an elder. His strength ranks at the bottom among all the elders in the Wizards Association.
Now that the man in white has appeared and brought out a large number of wizards, the defense of the wizard tower is naturally greatly empty at this moment.
So now the mission of Jiuyou and others has become to hold back this group of people and create an opportunity for the players who boarded the ship to attack the wizard tower.
Although that group of players are basically mid-level and far inferior to them in strength, they are better because there are enough people. In conjunction with the fact that ordinary people are constantly causing chaos in the periphery, they may not have a chance to break the tower.
"action!"
Jiuyou gave an order, and everyone who had been prepared for a long time immediately took action and launched an attack on the surrounding wizards.
As if they had guessed their actions, the wizards put up protective shields and fired counterattack magic one by one.
Under the bombardment between the two sides, the cemetery was suddenly enveloped in brilliant magical light and shadow.
In the chaos, many attacks were launched towards the man in white on the opposite side through the cover of light and shadow.
The man in white finally opened his eyes at this time, raised his old palm, and a crutch automatically appeared in his hand, along with an oversized magic shield.
The attacks flying towards him were all intercepted by the transparent shield without causing any waves.
Immediately, the man in white pointed his cane into the air, and a dazzling electric ball was instantly formed at the tip of the cane, split into five, and struck at the five people who had just attacked him.
Lightning passed through the battlefield at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye. Three of the five people who were locked were killed instantly. The only two people who survived were Jiuyou and Bluebeard, the two leaders who had just completed their evolution.
But even for them, their originally full health points bottomed out in an instant. The two of them and the treatment team behind them were shocked. They hurriedly used several healing magic blessings to stabilize their blood lines.
Jiuyou's eyelids twitched when he saw it. What kind of harm is this?
What the man in white used just now was just the most common forked lightning. Even if the opponent had high intelligence and equipment bonuses, the total damage would not exceed 1,000 points. However, this damage fell on them, but it caused close to Eight thousand points of damage!
If Jiuyou hadn't always paid more attention to physical fitness and had a health value of over 10,000, even he would have been instantly killed by a single blow just now!
A thousand-point spell caused eight thousand points of damage, eight times more!
However, he and the man in white only have one level of suppression, and the normal power should be doubled... In other words, the remaining damage comes from the evolution potion!
The effect of each level of suppression uff is to double the damage and halve the damage.
However, if you use high-quality evolution potions during evolution, you can increase this effect, with the power increased by up to 100% and the damage reduced by up to 50%.
In other words, if the quality of the potion is fully loaded during a certain level of evolution, the effect of the final stage suppression uff will be: causing four times the damage, and only taking 25% of the damage!
Moreover, this additional effect is that the level uffs of each evolution are independent of each other and can be superimposed, and they still multiply with each other.
At low and mid-level, because the number of bottles required for evolution is small, the hints brought by the quality of the medicine are not obvious. Multiple 5% to 10% damage to each other at the same level will not cause a qualitative change. Everyone also Don't care.
But when the level is high enough, especially high-level and above, and you often need to take dozens of bottles of evolution potions at a time, the difference between taking ordinary evolution potions and high-quality evolution potions will become very obvious!
Just like right now, although Jiuyou and Blue Beard are the top players on the planet, they are not yet luxurious enough to choose the quality of evolution potions.
Along the way they evolved, basically taking ordinary level evolution potions, and occasionally some black iron level potions. In terms of the additional attributes provided by the evolution potions, they were even negative.
As for the man in white in front of him, as the leader of the Wizards Association and an old antique who has lived for thousands of years, he will naturally not be short of high-quality evolutionary potions. On his way to upgrade, the quality of the evolutionary potions must be as high as possible. After stacking, this resulted in the huge disparity today.
After thinking about this, Jiuyou and Bluebeard looked at each other, both seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes.
too difficult!
Their original plan was to rely on their two epic players to join forces to trap the man in white.
As long as the man in white is excluded, the average level of the other wizards present is actually not much better than theirs, at least they have a chance to compete.
However, it now seems that they still underestimated the strength of these old wizards from the Wizards Association. Not to mention just the two of them, even if there were more than 90 people present together, it might not be enough for the man in white to fight alone!
Now Jiuyou only hopes that the man in green in the wizard tower over there will not be so perverted, and at the same time, other people can be more powerful and successfully push down the tower with the help of numbers...
However, just as Jiuyou was thinking this, he suddenly felt an explosion of aura coming from the direction of the wizard tower in the distance.
An aura very similar to that of the man in white in front of him erupted three times in a row on the opposite side!
Jiuyou's heart skipped a beat, could it be...
Just when I was doubting, I heard a voice coming from the communication mutter: "The advance in the direction of the wizard tower has been blocked. According to witnessing players, there are three legendary masters at the scene..."
"Three?"
Jiuyou's pupils shrank.
Others around him were shocked when they heard the reciting voice: Why are there three legends? Where do so many legendary levels come from?
Jiuyou frowned. Before they acted, they had just confirmed with Shenfeng that the three elders of the Wizard Association were there, and Shenfeng and them launched an attack on the secret realm almost simultaneously.
Therefore, those three people cannot get rid of their hands, otherwise they will hand over the secret realm to the organization behind Shenfeng.
Then there is only one possibility: the Wizards Association will guard other countries overseas
The two elders of the family were transferred back!
"How could this happen? Did the Wizards Association abandon its bases in other countries?" Cang Hai, vice president of the Business Alliance, asked in surprise.
Only now did Jiuyou realize that they not only underestimated the strength of the ancient elders of the Wizards Association, but also underestimated their determination to defend the headquarters!
Building the Arcane Tower inside the Wizard Tower gave them an absolute advantage, but they actually preferred to give up two overseas sub-bases to ensure the absolute safety of their headquarters, leaving no opportunity for the Fool...
The caution shown by the Wizards Association made Jiuyou feel desperate.
The same goes for everyone else. The news that came from the words made them shaken: It is difficult to fight against one legendary class, let alone four?
Seeing the team's morale plummeting and the wizards around them still attacking them, Jiuyou's mind changed quickly and he quickly made a judgment: "Retreat!"
"Retreat? Are you sure?"
"Do you really want to retreat?"
Next to him, Yakov the Bluebeard and others looked over in surprise.
Although the current situation seems very desperate, the battle has just started not long ago, and there has not been any real attrition. With the resurrection mechanism in place, this is destined to be a long battle.
What's more, even the ordinary people outside are still fighting hard at this moment. As a result, their main team, which carried too many expectations, retreated so quickly. Is it a bit...
"That's right, retreat! We must retreat!" As the leader, Jiuyou was much clearer than the others.
After the four legendary levels appeared, this operation became an impossible task for them. The most correct choice at this time was to retreat!
This operation failed, but after all, the deadline for the whole server mission has not ended yet. The remaining strength is still there, and there will be a chance to do it again in the future. If even their team is wasted here, that will be real despair.
"Everyone, follow the original plan and retreat in an orderly manner!"
Jiuyou didn't hesitate. After making a decision, he decisively took out the scroll to return to the city and tore it open.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to agree with the decision and cast defensive spells one after another. The other six people arranged in the team took out the scrolls and tore them open at the same time.
For a time, seven consecutive teleportation formations of light took shape among the crowd.
However, within the short two seconds that the teleportation array lasted, an electromagnetic storm quickly swept across the entire battlefield, instantly interrupting all the teleportation arrays on site and extending beyond the cemetery, forming a spherical barrier visible to the naked eye. .
The transmission... was cut off?
Jiuyou was shocked and hurriedly took out a new scroll to return to the city and tore it open.
As a result, this time, not even the light and shadow of the teleportation array appeared.
"Is it too late to think of escaping now?" On the dragon's back, the man in black robe sneered.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the man in white had left the dragon's back and landed on the ground beside him. He raised his right hand flat, and the tip of the staff held in his hand was shining with a faint light of thunder.
Obviously, the shielding spell around him was his handiwork.
"Fight quickly!" The man in white spoke at this time, and his old voice gave out his first order after arriving here.
Jiuyou knew that they had to retreat at this time, but he knew that he was not the only one who knew this. The other party also knew that although the fools in the city seemed to be making a big fuss at this time, they were actually just stragglers and had no ability to get close. In the wizard tower, a magic crystal cannon is enough to deal with the crowd tactics.
The real threat to the Wizard Tower is the elite team of a hundred or so people in front of us!
They are not only an immediate threat, but also a long-term threat in the struggle between the two races for a long time to come.
Therefore, the Wizards Association has actually made up its mind early on. Even if it pays some price, it will use this battle to completely kill this backbone of the Fools here to avoid future troubles!
Upon hearing this, the other wizards immediately launched a more violent attack, throwing all kinds of magic out as if they were free of charge.
Fighting with the wizard tower behind you, there is
The big advantage is that their magic power and life can be restored very quickly.
This is one of the basic functions of the Wizard Tower. As long as members of the Wizard Association fight within one kilometer of the Wizard Tower, they can enjoy high attribute increases, while also providing 1% health and magic value recovery per second.
This is why the Arcane Tower is specially built inside the Wizard Tower. As long as the battlefield is forcibly fixed around the Wizard Tower and the battle is fought with the Wizard Tower behind it, the combat effectiveness of the entire Wizard Association can be improved to a higher level!
Facing the overwhelming magic offensive, the player team naturally tried its best to resist the counterattack, because the level and number of people were not far behind, and they could still compete at the beginning.
However, the opponent has a steady stream of supplies and recovery from the Wizard Tower, but they do not. As the battle continues, this balance will be broken sooner or later.
What made everyone even more uncomfortable was the Chimera.
In a one-on-one situation, Jiuyou and others are certainly not afraid of a sub-dragon, but in this kind of legion melee, the power of this large monster is too terrifying.
This thing is simply a turret that continuously casts spells. It blasts dragon breath one after another, causing horrific damage, and it also has additional effects such as corrosion and burning. It is impossible to resist it, so you can only dodge as much as possible.
The formation that everyone had finally gathered was being torn apart by the dragon's breath, and no effective resistance could be formed.
But while everyone was suffering terribly from this chimera, the man in black robes on the dragon's back was still complaining.
"Snapped!"
The man in black robe held a special long whip and whipped it on Chimera's neck.
"What's going on? You vomited so much and you can't hit anyone. Is all the aiming training I gave you in vain?"
As soon as the whip was struck, a blood mark appeared on the dragon's neck. Chimera roared, but did not dare to show more anger, because a collar of bone spurs around its neck had quickly tightened and penetrated deeply into its body.
Chimera had no choice but to endure the pain and continue to breathe fire harder.
It is difficult to truly tame a dragon. You can only use a special collar to forcibly control it, and slowly tame it with enough time until its wildness is completely worn away.
"The use of whipping must be moderate. The most important thing in controlling beasts is balance. Irregular punishment will only cause backlash." The man in white not far away saw this scene and spoke calmly to teach.
"Yes, teacher." The man in black robe nodded hurriedly.
All the players were extremely annoyed when they heard this conversation. They actually used them as practice tools and even conducted on-site teaching.
However, everyone had no other choice at this time. They were too busy just avoiding the dragon's breath to take care of themselves, and had no time to get angry.
The only thing that pleased Jiuyou was that the barrier spell that blocked the teleportation required continuous casting. In order to prevent them from escaping, the man in white could only maintain the casting state, so he did not take action against them, otherwise they would only defeat faster.
"...Hang on, we are organizing rescue workers..."
While he was talking, news was still coming intermittently.
Jiuyou doesn't have high hopes for this.
The battlefield in the imperial capital is now divided into three parts: they and the wizard team led by the man in white are fighting in the cemetery; and in the city, a large number of ordinary players are fighting wits and courage with the Guards Legion, but after the Guards Knights shrink their defense line , it will be difficult for these low-level players to organize an effective attack.
Then there are the hundreds of elite players who boarded the ship and entered the city under the Wizard Tower, trying hard to attack the Wizard Tower. However, under the supervision of the three elders, the battlefield over there is probably even more anxious than here, and it is impossible to spare a hand to rescue them.
The three fronts are in danger at the same time, and the balance of victory is quickly moving away from them.
But Jiuyou still has hope in his heart, because according to the news from the headquarters, the boss who provided them with the evolution potion, the Ghost Captain, has not shown up yet!
When and in what state will he enter the battlefield?
If he appears, can he break the current deadlock?
Or is it all just a mirror image?
Shuiyue, in this irreversible crisis, the other party will never show up again...
"Roar!!"
Just as Jiuyou was thinking wildly, the Chimera in the distance suddenly rolled to the ground, letting out a miserable wail and rolling on the ground, seemingly suffering from huge pain.
The man in black robe on the dragon's back did not expect this sudden change, and was thrown away, rolling to the ground, covered in mud.
But when he stood up angrily, he immediately looked in one direction and raised his wand: "Who is it?"
The man in white and the other wizards and players present all looked in a distant direction.
Under everyone's gaze, the sound of two running footsteps quickly amplified from far to near.
A few seconds later, two figures came through the darkness and rushed into the barrier.
To everyone's surprise, those who suddenly broke into the battlefield at this moment were actually two women!
There are two women, one is wearing a red robe and holding an exaggerated sickle; the other is dressed as an ordinary witch, with a crow standing on her shoulders, but the wand in her hand is slightly raised, and the tip of the wand is surging with the light of magic.
When the man in black robe saw two strangers appearing, and one of them was actually casting a spell in front of them, he hit them with a heart-piercing curse without even thinking about it.
Although the two people opposite did not have the aura of the Fool, in his opinion, the one who suddenly appeared on the battlefield at this time must be the enemy, and there was no need to hesitate.
Because of this, he did not notice that when the man in white behind him saw their appearance clearly, his pupils shrank sharply, his palms trembled, and cold sweat broke out on the top of his head.
"puff!"
This heart-cutting curse had no effect. When it hit the two people on the opposite side, it disappeared without a trace like an illusory soap bubble.
At this moment, the witch was still holding up her wand and continuing to cast spells. As she moved, the dragon behind her struggled more and more fiercely. Its two dragon eyes turned blood red, and its claws kept slapping down, causing the entire ground to tremble.
"You bastard, don't stop yet!"
The man in black robe was furious, used a light body technique to bless himself, and then rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
"Wait a minute!" The man in white shouted hastily, but unfortunately it was still a step too late.
The moment he spoke, the man in black robe who was halfway forward stagnated, as if he was picked up by an invisible hand and thrown into the air uncontrollably.
Immediately, the witch below waved her wand a few times, and several wind blades flew out, striking the man in black robes.
The man in black robes was instantly covered in blood. One arm and one leg were cut off by the wind blade. He fell from the air one step ahead of him, staining the soil red.
When the man in black robe was finally attracted by gravity and fell back to the ground, what greeted him was the blade of a sickle.
Because the speed was too fast, everyone at the scene could only see a crescent-shaped red light passing by, and the next second, the head of the man in black robe was already separated.
The body of the man in black robe quickly disappeared and was resurrected not far away.
And where he had just died, a strange blood-red flower grew on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ding!"
The moment he saw the red flower, the eyes of the man in white behind him suddenly opened wide, as if he had confirmed something. His body trembled even more violently, and he stepped back several steps, and the wand in his hand was accidentally shaken to the ground.
The surrounding magnetic field barrier lost its magic power supply and immediately shattered and disappeared.
The man in white had no time to pay attention to this and looked at the two people opposite him in disbelief.
"Herman, it seems that you have not properly publicized my past deeds to the younger generations..."
At this time, the witch opposite had put away her wand and said nothing, but a sound similar to a voice transmission sounded in the hearts of everyone.
"The fear of natural enemies should be engraved in instinct, so that species can survive better. Isn't this the theory you always admire most?"
"You tremble when you see me, but your junior dares to rush over directly. This is not good."
