Age of Adepts

Chapter 1294 - Flame Withdrawal

I must say, the sacrifice of the undead army was worth a lot!

Without the undead army to spell out the witch beast troops resisting the front line, it would be an extravagant hope for the Crimson Family's Demonic Armament Legion to make a long march into the Witch Tower.

Once they were blocked by the Witch Beast Troops and bombarded by the 30 War Towers, even the steel and bones of the War Demon Armor could not withstand such a terrible blow.

After seven hours of fighting, the cannon fodder troops of both sides had been exhausted. The next to step onto the battlefield were the affiliated legions and peripheral forces of both sides.

Denel's side still chose to hold on, while Crimson's side, as the attacking side, sent out the Flame Legion and the Magic Armament Legion.

Stepping in unison, the Magic Armament Legion approached step by step, advancing while covering the Witch Tower and all living things around it with intense firepower.

As the Crimson Family's battle demon armor that had undergone many improvements and transformations, the PG-52 was undoubtedly the pinnacle of the combination of goblin engineering and magic mechanical constructs.

Even the most ordinary PG-52s had the terrifying strength of a 1st rank intermediate, and if you took into account their indestructible, all-magic gold bodies and excellent magical energy conduction system, their basic combat power could even be comparable to a 1st rank peak sorcerer.

The PG-52 type battle magical weapons that had undergone multiple modulations and used the latest memory metals and Quillus alloys had even reached the intermediate level of the 2nd rank.

The magical weapons they were equipped with were even optimized to the extreme.

The two Mark II magic energy cannons on their shoulders had a power of 377 Amperes, which translated to the energy intensity of 426 degrees in the Wizard World. This was already equivalent to the full power of a rank 2 Sorcerer.

The two Magic Energy Rapid Fire Cannons on the chest had an attack power of only 210 degrees, but their frequency was 3 times higher than the Mark II Magic Energy Cannon.

In addition to this, the two metal arms of the PG-52 Combat Magic Armament are embedded with a quadruple-mounted magic ray gun, which can quickly and freely switch between searing rays, freezing rays, and energy rays.

For fear of encountering elemental or energy-immune guys, the PG-52 Combat Armament also retains the original goblin ray guns. They can also swap their ammunition for high-powered metal projectiles doped with arcane crystals and magical energy** when the magical weapons are ineffective against the enemy.

This magic energy-driven, metal projectile that spreads large amounts of metal fragments onto the battlefield with the explosive power of the arcane crystal is comparable to a battlefield sweeper. Since this kind of attack was a physical attack, those who were immune to energy were not spared.

The PG-52's defense relies on a magical shield inlaid on its chest. This was a force field type magic energy shield that could only defend against the front of the body, with a defensive strength of 600 degrees, much higher than a full shield.

As long as it is not destroyed at once, the force field shield can repair the damage done by the shield through a continuous infusion of magical energy, making it ideal for an offensive magic weapon like the Combat Armament.

When such PG-52 type battle wizards numbered in the thousands, forming a stable and powerful group of wizards, advancing step by step towards the enemy's battlefield, the dense energy cannons, the brilliant rays of light like fireworks, literally turned the Denel family's position into an ocean of energy.

It was in such a cool and fierce environment that the various clan witch units hidden between the war witch towers were entangled with the Flame Legion.

Magic was frenzied and supernatural energy was flying wildly.

No one knew if they would survive the next second, so every moment they were doing their best to show their fiercest and most violent side to the enemy.

The flame creatures that were able to cross the bit boundary to the Sorcerer's World had no weaknesses, and almost every single individual was capable of attaining a level 1 intermediate or higher. They valiantly rushed towards every movable, flesh-and-blood fellow they could, projecting the hottest flames on their enemies.

And when they encountered enemy fire gathering and the coalesced flame body was broken up, the flame core that was hidden inside the body would violently self-destruct, turning the surrounding land of 10 meters square into a sea of fire.

Thus the more flame creatures that were killed in battle, the more suitable the entire battlefield would become for flame creatures, and the more difficult it would be for the high ranking flame creatures left behind!

That personally led 4th level Primary Flame Lord Grissom himself was a molten fire giant of 5 meters in size. It was surrounded by reddish-red near-white magical flames, wielding a 10-meter-long flame whip with one hand and throwing a molten fireball uninterruptedly with the other.

Wherever it passed, the wizard troops with only 1st rank strength were blown up and burned to the ground.

In fact, out of all the elemental creatures, the flame creatures were undoubtedly the most difficult to deal with!

When they were far away, they could throw fireballs or flaming arrows with powerful attacks; when they were close, the protective flames around their bodies could scorch a person to a crisp, yet they were indefensible.

Moreover, this Molten Fire Giant is not as weak as other elemental spell casters.

With its gigantic physique of up to 5 meters, any guy who dared to run to its side and challenge it would either encounter a molten fire fist the size of a millstone or a flaming whip of incredible strength. Either way, it would be enough to break a mammoth elephant into pieces and turn it into flesh and blood.

Thus, as soon as the Flame Lord Grissom broke into the Denel battlefield, it drew the mad fire of multiple War Witch Towers. And it seemed unconcerned with this, holding up a solidified Flame Shield, hard against the multiple Elemental Sorcery attacks, unscrupulously slaughtering the unarmed Sorcerer troops.

With a rank 4 against a rank 1, wherever it went, any individual creature that came within a hundred meters of it would instantly turn to ash under the terrifying burning aura of flame. In many cases, it didn't even have to fight at all, just taking a trip to a place where there were many Gryphons, it would burn its enemies to the ground and run away in disarray.

And while the War Witch Tower was drawing fire away from the Flame Lords, the Demonic Armament Legion pressed on in a big way, with dense, raining energy cannons and metal streams of bullet attacks, and in no time at all, the force field protection outside of several of the more forward War Witch Towers was hit with sparks of fire and debris flying.

Knock knock knock....

Ten goblin chariots took the opportunity to launch long-range artillery attack mode, a series of artillery bombardment instantly broke through the outer protection of the War Witch Tower, and toppled the tower under the intense fire of martyrdom.

After all, these War Witch Towers were built temporarily, not with steel rock or obsidian, which had good resistance to evil, but with ordinary earth taken from local materials and solidified with sorcery and enchanted with strong runes.

Such a material, such a means, obviously could not stand the test of a high intensity witch war!

After the force field protection was breached, it only took one round of attack before this war witch tower suddenly collapsed in full view of everyone, scattering into scraps of dirt all over the ground. Only half of the witches inside escaped, two of them were lucky and hid in a nearby tower, while the remaining three were eaten alive by the flaming creatures before they could escape back to the rear.

The remaining three were eaten alive by the flaming creatures before they could escape back to the rear. If the witches were hiding inside the War Witch Tower and controlling the various witch formations, they were the deities controlling the battlefield. The terrifying power above all living beings allowed them to control the life and death of their enemies.

But once the outer shell was stripped away, the witches were still too weak on the battlefield of the different plane. At least in the physical aspect, they could not be compared to most of the otherworldly creatures.

What truly made a shaman strong was brains, knowledge, wisdom and heritage accumulated over millions of years!

But the War Witch Towers weren't so easy to destroy.

The Magic Armor Legion only had time to topple one War Witch Tower, and that Flame Lord Grissom, who was in the ring of fire of many Witch Towers, couldn't hold on any longer.

Flame creatures were not the original creatures of the Wizard World, and the Gleason who appeared here was only a power projection of that Flame Lord from the Elemental Realm. Thus the destruction of this elemental body was nothing more than a failed trip to the Otherworld for it.

Of course, the moment it was blown up by the War Witch Tower, the Flame Lord Gleason also chose to explode himself. And the self-destructing power of a 4th stage flame lord projection was so terrifying that it was beyond the imagination of material plane creatures.

A kilometer-wide flame aura suddenly flashed, and Gleason's shattered flame body turned into the fiercest flame, which instantly incinerated all non-flame creatures within the scope of the flame aura to ashes.

Not to mention flesh and blood, even the five war witch towers that were too close to each other went limp like baked hot wax under the blazing fire, and the wizards inside were naturally too dead to die.

The self-destruct of a 4th rank Flame Lord projection took away nearly a thousand witch troops, as well as five temporary war witch towers, and also left a huge sea of fire in the middle of the battlefield that was nearly a thousand meters square... This terrifying power caused all the witches present to shake their heads and sigh.

Those wizards who thought they were safe hiding in the witch towers couldn't help but be on edge either!

And such a result also made the many rank 4 witches in the Gravel Canyon Fortress frown.

The majority of the witch troops that died under the self-destruct were put together by the several big families present, and to see hundreds of years of hard work go up in smoke like this, anyone would be heartbroken. And they were still only distressed, but the Clara Witch was already weeping without tears.

The witch troops were supported by others, but the witches in the six witch towers that were destroyed were from the Denel family. The six war towers also meant sixty official witches.

Even if the Denel family was large and had many witches, it couldn't withstand such consumption!

Moreover, this was only the prelude to the battle, when the Demon Armament Legion rushed in, the curtain would be drawn on the real bare-blooded fight. At that time, the Denel family's sorcerer attrition was definitely a frightening number that one could not even think of.

Clara's face was livid, and her hands were tightly saving the stone chair armrests, powdering its saving grip.
