Age of Adepts

Chapter 0919 - Wizard Expeditionary Force

The Bloodline Package immediately caused a huge stir within the Crimson Family once it was proposed.

The entire package could be divided into three levels: low, medium and high, and top level.

The low-grade bloodline package was only capable of fusing the blood of exotic beasts or demons, allowing the transformed sorcerer to possess a particular class of spells. Only medium-grade and above bloodline packages have the magical effect of increasing their strength, and can give witches who have been cut off from their future a second chance to hit the threshold of the middle grade.

And their prices were as high as they were worth, so high that it was almost desperate!

Even the lowest-grade bloodline transformation would cost 20,000 contribution points for the base price, while the mid-grade bloodline transformation that most impressed the witches would require 50,000 contribution points.

However, in the Crimson Family's quest list, the contribution value that a rank 1 wizard could obtain from being stationed at a family residence or resource point for a year was only 300 points. The rewards for the daily activities such as patrolling, hunting, preparing potions, making witchcraft, etc. are less than 100 points.

Therefore, the only way for most family witches to save up enough contribution value before the end of their lives is war.

Like all Sorcerer Families, the Crimson Family's quest list had the most generous rewards for the Bit Wars and Sorcerer Wars, easily amounting to three to four thousand contribution points.

This also triggered a wave of invitations to war within the Crimson Family that was hard to suppress.

And Grim, Mary, Alice, and a few core witches got together for a brief discussion and also quickly came up with a concrete and feasible battle plan.

The Sorcerer World's large and small forces were intricately intertwined and had complex relationships, and it was easy to start a war here that could spread uncontrollably. And the Goblin Plane was peaceful again, there was no need to make waves there. So picking and choosing, the only suitable one was the Lance Plane.

After decades of exploration and cultivation by the Crimson Family, it had basically gained a firm foothold in the Lance Plane. As long as there wasn't a bad situation where several 4th stage dragons joined forces to attack, the Eternal Capital was an impenetrable steel fortress that could withstand the invasion of a huge dragon herd.

Over the years, in order to avoid triggering a backlash from the dragon lords, the Crimson Family's exploitation of the resources of the Lance Plane still appeared to be very low key. Even if they were hunting giant dragons, they were mainly poaching and seldom made a big push into the giant dragon territory.

This time, however, Grim was clearly planning to make a big move, and went so far as to directly target the nearest Tier 4 Giant Dragon Lord to the Eternal Capital, the Amethyst Dragon Toriel.

The lair of this 4th stage Amethyst Dragon Toriel was located in the Crystal Canyon, 23,000 kilometers northwest of the Eternal Capital, and the sorcerer team organized by Grim wanted to reach there, and along the way, they had to pass through the territories of 23 1st stage dragons, seven 2nd stage dragons, and two 3rd stage dragons.

It was a treacherous and dangerous road.

But if the Crimson Family wanted to get rid of these nail-biting Tier 4 dragons one by one, it would be difficult to succeed without paying a price.

If it was ten years ago, the Crimson Family might not have dared to provoke those 4th stage dragons with their strength. But now, with the Tier 4 Metal Puppet Dragons entering the Crimson Family's battle sequence, with multiple magical giant cannons on top of them, their power had reached the mid-tier level of Tier 4 creatures.

And this was the main reason why Grim dared to challenge the Tier 4 Giant Dragons!

And taking this opportunity, Grim also wanted to comb through the core warriors in the family once more, and pick out some guys with great development potential to carefully cultivate.

As soon as the plan was announced, it immediately triggered a rush of applications from Crimson Sorcerers. Those who were suffering from the lack of family contribution value had no fear of the bit wars and rushed to the Eternal Capital to join the expeditionary force.

For a time, nearly 60% of the Crimson Family's elite sorcerers had gathered in the Eternal Capital, making this expeditionary army grow larger and larger!

June 11, 32889 on the Wizarding Calendar.

On the seventeenth day after issuing the War Order, this expeditionary force hoarded in the Eternal Capital finally set out.

Amidst a loud clatter of creaking metal clashing and chains, the huge metal gates to the west of the Eternal Capital slowly moved to the sides, revealing an all-metal structure topped by a huge creature.

From its appearance, it was a huge metal dragon that was 50 meters tall and 115 meters long.

It was supported by two pairs of thick and strong metal legs underneath, and the huge dragon head made of metal was raised high, shining with a blue magic metal luster under the sunlight. Behind it, there was a nearly 10-meter long steel tail, densely covered with steel spikes and iron thorns, the end of which was gathered into a meteor hammer shape.

When such a giant steel dragon rumbled forward, the entire earth seemed to tremble and shake slightly. Each time the four giant metal feet lifted and fell, they would leave a huge crater 3 meters in diameter and 1 meter deep on the spot.

The huge expeditionary army certainly wouldn't just be this one steel dragon, behind and in front of the Demonic Puppet Dragon, hundreds of goblin chariots were like soldiers clustered around the general, keeping their formation intact as they whistled off into the distance.

And above this huge convoy, a silver-white cruising mothership was floating quietly above the clouds, while around it were clustered thirty or forty smaller, more nimbly rotating goblin airships. In the farther periphery, hundreds of strangely shaped eyeball fighters shuttled in and out without stopping, lowering their altitude from time to time to delve into the scrub forest, dim forest, or mist swamp for a look around.

Whenever some dangerous area is spotted, the eyeball fighters call in the goblin craft and cleanse the place with either goblin rockets or intense energy rays.

This time, whatever was originally hiding there would be instantly shot into a hornet's nest, no longer threatening the convoy.

It was with this kind of three-dimensional reconnaissance that those indigenous creatures or alien eyeballs scattered along the expeditionary force's route were considered to be out of luck. Almost before they understood what was going on, they were killed in a muddle.

Of course, with such a big battle in the expeditionary convoy, those powerful indigenous creatures would look to the wind and flee the expeditionary route as long as they weren't stupid enough to do so.

Grim and the other sorcerers were perched high above the cruising mothership, seeing clearly that in front of the huge goblin convoy, countless beasts and demons were panicking and fleeing from their lairs, gathering into a black torrent towards the far horizon.

Among the entire huge convoy, the Demonic Armament Puppet Dragon was the slowest moving, but its speed also reached 50 kilometers per hour. Therefore, the forward convoy would stop somewhere for a small moment every time it pulled away to wait for the big chunk at the rear.

And Grim and other Crimson Family executives naturally chose to take the cruiser mothership as their vehicle, making all kinds of preparations in silence as the convoy slowly advanced.

The expedition, the Crimson family deployed a total of 4-stage magic weapon puppet dragon, 102 goblin chariots, a cruising mothership, 45 goblin airships, 1170 metal magic weapons... This is only the war tools, in terms of personnel, the Crimson family is all out.

Order 3: Grim, Mary, Brontosaurus Ames, and Emerald Mother Dragon Aretina.

Tier 2: Alice, Brain Splitting Gru, Worm Witch Billis, Dragon Man Zacha, Goblin Tigure, Dragon Eater Olivine, two Blood Knights, three Blood Elves, and seven Green Dragons.

The rest of the group is made up of 67 1st level wizards and 326 sorcerer apprentices.

In addition to that, there were 257 goblin pilots and mechanics....

Such a huge convoy traveling, naturally vast and earth-shattering, and everywhere it passed, ten thousand beasts opened up easily. A small tide of beasts had unwittingly formed in front of the convoy!

Those wizards who were interested in exotic demons and the natural environment boarded a goblin airship and spread out into the dozens of miles around the convoy, looking for or collecting exotic specimens to increase their species reserves. And during this time, there is always the inevitable fight with some native creatures or demons.

Each goblin airship was equipped with 5-10 metal magic weapons, plus three magic cannons, the firepower they possessed was enough to crush ordinary enemies. Once they encountered a powerful demon, the accompanying sorcerers would quickly send sorcery messages to the fleet behind them.

As a result, more sorcerers and more goblin airships would gather in groups and flood the enemy with ferocious firepower.

Most of the indigenous wizards, though possessing great strength, did not know how to fly.

So, they were just moving targets in front of the goblin airships, and they could not escape the sorcerers even if they were foaming at the mouth.

As a result, the tattered and unconscious demons were transported to the cruiser, and the different strains of demons with different shapes and strange effects were collected and put into the sorcerer's pockets.

Those witches who were good at mixing potions or concocting witch beasts were busy in the cabins of the cruiser. Although the team already had a large number of magic weapons as cannon fodder, but a few more witch beasts would be a cheap move.

After two days of scavenging and plundering, the huge convoy soon arrived at the territory of its first intended target.

This was the territory of a small 1st stage dragon, with a radius of about a hundred kilometers, and within the territory there were two small exotic cities and several mixed indigenous settlements.

Unfortunately, the eyeball fighters dispatched to the steel back mountain where the 1st stage little dragon was residing, but the other party had already escaped. Even the inside of that humble dragon's nest had been moved cleanly, and not even a small gold coin could be found.

This kind of situation undoubtedly made the fractional brain Gru, who made the marching route, embarrassed, and could only cursed the small dragons too much.

Actually, this was not to blame on this little dragon.

The Sorcerer Expeditionary Army's huge convoy was still so beckoning, even if those Dragon Lords had closed their ears and lazy personalities, they would have heard the news long ago. In addition to the dragons, the Dragon Lords usually had numerous flying ears and eyes.

Just by going out and scanning a little, they would be able to find out the general strength of this huge metal convoy.

With its one tiny 1st rank dragon lord, it dared to contend with the powerful team of wizards running out of the Eternal Capital? The dragons weren't stupid, so of course they had to run away early one by one....
