Wizard: I can refine everything

After listening to Lawrence's words, Richard also hesitated.

If this puppet wizard is really like what Lawrence said, then this action is probably just a cover, and it must be a cover for the real purpose of the puppet wizard.

But then again, the cost of activating the emergency call is not small. If it causes major losses, the puppet wizard will also be punished greatly.

According to the wizards in the settlement, if there is an accident in this emergency call, the puppet wizard will definitely not escape death.

"Be more careful, you know the cost of the emergency call." Richard replied, "Even if this is just his cover, we will definitely not be cannon fodder.

Otherwise, he will not be able to pass the command."

Lawrence sighed lightly when he heard this. It is true, but he always feels a little uncomfortable to be called by such a wizard.

After announcing the mission, the puppet wizard began to distribute information to the wizards.

It was a very detailed three-dimensional tunnel map, with a large settlement at its center. In the tunnel map, the puppet wizard used magic to mark four passages, and the wizards present would enter the large settlement from these four passages.

In addition, the puppet wizard also shared the patrol routes and patrol schedules of the insects, as well as the number of insects in the settlement and the deployment arrangements. The information was so detailed that it seemed as if the puppet wizard was present when the insects specified these things.

With this information, the wizards present, as long as they were not fools, could sneak into the settlement.

Looking at the information obtained, Richard began to have doubts in his heart.

This information was too detailed, and some of it was unreal. On the contrary, Lawrence was relieved after receiving the information.

"Our mission this time is definitely to cover for Declan, but it doesn't matter. With this information, our mission can also be accomplished."

Richard looked at Lawrence in surprise. What did he mean by this?

Is the hanging heart finally dead?

"Don't look at me like that," Lawrence said with a smile, "I know this information is too detailed, but I have seen Declan's puppet magic. He can easily control those indigenous creatures with evolved physiques. This time the information is so detailed, it is estimated that his puppets have infiltrated the decision-making level of the insects."

Richard's doubts disappeared slightly after hearing this, but there was still a trace of something wrong lingering. He quietly told Ellie with a mental message:

"Ellie, you should be careful on this mission. If you can stay behind, stay behind. If something goes wrong, run away quickly."

Among the three, Lawrence is experienced and good at shadow magic, Richard has Ulises, and only Ellie is relatively lacking in running.

As a turret wizard, her stage should be on the front battlefield.

Ellie got the message and smiled at him.

"It's not my first day on the battlefield, don't worry."

After the information sharing was completed, some specific action arrangements were made.

The puppet wizard selected the second-ring wizards among the wizards and formed a team as the main force for saving people.

In his arrangement, the remaining wizards were mainly responsible for supporting, disturbing, and confusing the enemy.

…

Starting from the settlement, the wizards consciously divided into four parts and went to the Mother Temple where the sacrifice was held through four tunnels.

Richard and his three companions took the same tunnel. On the way, the puppet wizard's intelligence was very accurate, allowing them to almost perfectly avoid all the insect patrols.

These patrols patrolled the insect nest at regular intervals and points. Once a battle occurred, even if the entire army was annihilated in an instant, the insect headquarters would be able to find something wrong after a certain period of time, and thus infer that wizards had sneaked in. If there were no accurate intelligence from the puppet wizards, most of these wizards would have been discovered outside the defense circle of the Mother Temple.

According to the puppet wizard's markings, Richard and his party soon arrived at the designated location - an abandoned and buried crypt.

The location of this crypt was very clever. One of its tunnels happened to be connected to the large crypt where the Mother Temple was located, and because it was abandoned and buried, there were no insects patrolling this crypt.

I don't know how the puppet wizard found such a hidden place.

After arriving, the wizards showed their magical powers and cleared the crypt in a few minutes. They also camouflaged it to ensure that the insects from the outside had no idea that there was a group of wizard monsters lurking in the crypt.

Through the gaps in the fungi in the tunnel, Richard quietly looked at this large city of insects.

In the past, for safety, Richard had always focused on attacking small settlements. Although these settlements did not have any good things, their garrison forces were also small, which was very friendly to Richard's strength as a first-ring wizard.

These small settlements are like human villages, with a small population and simple buildings, and they look very backward.

Medium-sized settlements are better. Richard once sneaked into a medium-sized settlement. This kind of settlement is like a county town. The insects do not simply live in rooms dug out from giant fungi. Various buildings made of sandstone fungi as raw materials are lined up in it, and sacrificial insects or warrior insects live in them.

Richard has seen some of these settlements when hunting insects, but those settlements are dead, which is completely different from when they were alive.

Now, what Richard saw was a completely different scene from what he had seen before.

If we use an analogy, a medium-sized settlement is like a county town, then the large settlement in front of him is like a prosperous city like the Magic City.

A Mayan pyramid building as big as a hill stood in the center of the settlement, and the temple on the top was shining with gold.

At its feet, tall sandstone buildings of various colors were neatly arranged in four areas. Between them, four avenues led directly from the tunnel entrance to the pyramid. An endless team of transport insects brought food from various settlements and transported it into the pyramid day and night to provide nutrients for the queen insects.

On the ground, the queen insect guards that Richard had seen patrolled the city in teams. In the sky, the moth army that could shoot down war airships kept circling, not letting any suspicious creatures enter the settlement.

Facing such a tightly defended city, Richard swallowed his saliva.

If something went wrong, they, the wizards, would probably be defeated.

But soon Richard found something wrong.

Most of these patrolling insects were first-level insects, and second-level insects were basically not seen.

Richard told Lawrence the news. The old wizard thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"I'm afraid these bugs are accumulating strength to fight back."

As an old wizard who has experienced three plane wars, Lawrence has his own sense of the situation on the battlefield.

In the past few wars, once the command decided to fight a decisive battle with the natives, the black wizards would be required to lie dormant or retreat. And if the natives were ready for a decisive battle, the natives' city defense force would most likely become weak.

Lawrence's conclusion shocked Richard. It's only been a few years, and the bugs are planning to fight back.

According to the convention of plane wars, it takes about sixty years to conquer a micro-plane, of which the decisive battle is about forty years, and the remaining twenty years are generally used to clean up, which is the welfare time of wizards.

But now, they have only fought for eight years, and this time point should be garbage time according to convention.

That is, the two sides only engage in small-scale fighting, the wizards occupy a foothold in this new world and develop resources, while the natives calm down internal conflicts and develop war potential.

"This situation is probably caused by the social structure of insects." Ellie suddenly came between the two and interrupted.

"Oh?" Lawrence was a little surprised. Ellie didn't seem like the kind of wizard who studied indigenous society.

"I also heard it from the teacher." Ellie used spiritual information to communicate with the two people, "She told me that the Black Crystal Zerg is completely different from the indigenous races she encountered before. There are often great contradictions among those indigenous races. Even under the leadership of the Lord of the World, there will be a lot of internal friction.

Sometimes the indigenous people will even use the hands of wizards to get rid of their enemies.

These contradictions often take decades, plus the external pressure of wizards to resolve, so generally speaking, the time of the decisive battle will be about forty years.

But the Black Crystal Zerg is different.

Although the Black Crystal Zerg has thirty-six insect countries, they also fight each other and compete for the territory of the insect nest. However, the production mode of the mother insect laying eggs has led to the fact that there is no hatred between these insects for generations.

So as the Lord of the World, the mother insect god has a slight call, and these insects will unite together, and quickly formulate strategies and develop war potential.

This will also cause the decisive battle of the Black Crystal Zerg to be earlier and more dangerous than the previous plane wars."

After hearing Ellie's news, Richard couldn't help but sigh that it's good to have someone above.

"It seems that our mission will be over soon. It depends on whether we retreat or lie dormant." Richard said.

But Lawrence sighed after hearing the news.

"Don't think about lying dormant. We will definitely retreat. Since the war is dangerous, the command will definitely not waste any strength."

After staying in the crypt for a while, a second-ring wizard who led the wizards suddenly took out a crystal ball.

The puppet wizard's order came out of the crystal ball:

"All personnel are gathered and start to sneak in."

Seeing this sound transmission crystal ball, Richard seemed to remember something, and suddenly took out two black crystal balls from his magic pocket and handed them to Ellie and Lawrence.

"What is this?" Ellie asked in confusion.

Lawrence, who had some experience, frowned: "The magic fluctuation of the communication crystal ball is too large, it is not suitable for use here."

Richard smiled slightly, took out a similar crystal ball and said:

"How is the magic fluctuation?"

The next moment, Richard's voice came from the crystal balls of Lawrence and Ellie, and the magic fluctuation was almost zero.

"This... where did you get such a good thing!" Lawrence exclaimed, and then asked a series of questions like a bean popping, "What is its limit distance, and each distance is such a small magic fluctuation? How high is the information transmission intensity? How many millimeters of dead lead box can shield..."

Richard waved his hand, signaling him to stop.

"This is a little gadget made by my senior sister. The communication distance is about two kilometers. The limit distance of magic fluctuation is slightly larger. The transmission intensity can transmit information normally in a low-intensity battlefield. The high-intensity battlefield energy fluctuation disrupts information transmission."

But even so, Lawrence still gave a thumbs up.

"Good stuff."

The two took the crystal ball, and the three followed the large group to sneak into the Mother Temple.
