However, unlike other wooden boats, it does not sail in the river, but floats slowly in mid-air.
The tall mast, the resplendent appearance, and the sharp angle in the front give it a graceful, magnificent and strange look. And the most conspicuous position on the side of the hull is branded with a striking Fabrese
Family crest.
And on the land below it, in front, back, left, and right, you can see an organized team slowly moving forward with the wooden boat as the center.
A cabin, a secret room.
Seven wizards were gathered in front of a witchcraft sand table, whispering in low voices.
The undulating topography of the witchcraft sand table shows the topography and iconic landmarks of the entire Ellowes region. The entire area near the southwest has turned green, while the rest of the area is either red, green or yellow.
, scattered and varied.
Green indicates the land that has been occupied or surrendered, yellow indicates the territory that still belongs to the Crimson family, and red indicates the territory that is in fierce competition...
The seven level 3 wizards discussed in low voices. Whenever they made a decision, they would pick up a three-dimensional model chess piece from the table and place it somewhere on the sand table. The chess pieces were flashing with witchcraft marks of different colors and shapes.
.
Whenever something changes on the sand table, there will be specialized personnel nearby who will record the decisions of the family's senior officials and pass them on to the outside. When the orders are conveyed to the specific wizards and teams layer by layer, there will be people gathered around the wooden boat.
Several people took over the task and went straight to the distant place.
Of course, every moment, teams that have completed their missions will return.
In this way, the chess pieces available on the witchcraft sandbox table are always in a state of dynamic change!
However, just as the secret room was busy, a few soft clicks came from the witchcraft sand table, and several chess pieces placed on it suddenly exploded. First, dense cracks appeared on the surface of the chess pieces, and then the witchcraft marks were imprinted on them.
After lighting up and extinguishing several times, it completely dimmed.
And this usually heralds the death of the family wizard performing the mission!
If this situation only occurred in one or two insignificant places, the seven high-level wizards present would not care at all. After all, it is impossible for such a fierce and grand wizard family war not to cause any casualties.
However, when missions failed in five places at once and the wizard died, this... they couldn't help but ignore it!
Uma, one of the seven high-level wizards, glanced away and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Four of the five mission failures were missions assigned by him himself. With such a probability, it was no wonder that he was secretly annoyed and felt a little embarrassed.
If you take a closer look, you will see that Cold Wind Territory, Silver Spring Mine, Savia Castle, Yilgara Stone Tower, Alixton City... are all worldly territories or resource points located outside the core circle of the Crimson Family.
Logically speaking, based on the early intelligence investigation conducted by the Fabrese family, the strength of the team sent to each mission point must be several times that of the other party, so the probability of failure should not be so high.
Uma picked up the broken chess pieces placed at Saviya Castle and immediately identified their identities from the extinguished witchcraft brand. With the authority of the core wizard, he quickly connected with this wizard
The mental frequency of the squad.
"I am the Uma wizard from the headquarters. Is anyone in the Crystal Spear team still alive?"
…
I repeated the same spiritual secret message many times in one breath and finally got a little response.
"Lord Uma, come quickly...come...save...us..."
The person who fed back the message from the spiritual frequency was a wizard apprentice, but he seemed to be running away at high speed, and the messages sent back were intermittent and accompanied by strong interference.
"I don't care who you are, tell me quickly, what happened to you? Why did the mission fail?"
"It's... an insect witch... it's... ah..."
The wizard apprentice only said half of his words when he suddenly screamed, since the last contact was lost.
Insect Witch...Bliss, the core level 2 insect witch of the Crimson Family?
Uma's brows immediately knitted together.
If it were really this guy, the horrific follow-up mission would be a bit difficult.
Since the accident happened in Uma's war zone, the other level 3 wizards would just laugh and ignore it even if they saw it. Only Linus, the wizard who is closer to Uma, couldn't help but quietly sent a message: "How are you, do you need help?"
Uma refused with a nonchalant expression.
This is just a low-intensity battle on the periphery of the family. As a veteran third-level wizard of the Fabrese family, he has enough wizards under his command. There is no need to ask other third-level wizards for help. Otherwise, once it is leaked, it will cause trouble.
The other level 3 wizards laughed at him.
"How is the situation there?" Uma couldn't help but ask.
Among the five failed missions, Ilgala Tower was Linus Wizard's war zone, so he asked this question.
"A level 2 blood dragon appeared there and killed all the guys I sent... I'm trying to figure out how to encircle it!" After explaining the reason, Wizard Linus' face was full of anger: "What about you?"
Uma put down the remaining broken chess pieces, her face so gloomy that she could almost squeeze out ink.
"Damn it, it's the Insect Witch, the Dragon Man, and that goblin... Several core level 2 members of the Crimson Family are on my side..." It's no wonder he is so resentful. Such a vast and huge family battlefield, the opponent's core battle
He actually went to his war zone to cause trouble. This bad breath was really hard to swallow.
"Insect Witch Bliss? Be careful, this guy is very difficult to deal with. Ordinary level 2 wizards can't compete with his insect army. It's easy for level 3 wizards like you and me to defeat him, but it's a bit difficult to kill him.
Yes..." Hearing Uma's answer, even Linus, who was still angry just now, couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
To deal with a guy like the Insect Witch who can have countless clones, it is best to find a soul wizard to deal with him. With the soul wizard's profound knowledge in searching for souls and locking souls, he can find Bliss's real soul body among thousands of insect armies.
This can kill him with one blow, leaving him no chance to escape.
However, Uma did not have a second-level soul wizard under her command, so after much hesitation, she could only humbly ask other 'partners' for help.
He borrowed a level 2 soul wizard from another level 3 wizard, and paired it with a level 2 elemental wizard under his own command. With a two-on-one approach so targeted, the winning rate must be 80%.
So, 67 seconds after the failure of the last mission, Uma placed a new chess piece at the location of Saviya Castle, and a series of precise and subtle commands were passed on layer by layer.
…………
Savia Castle.
The once quiet and beautiful castle has disappeared.
From the damaged and collapsed city walls to the devastated main body of the castle, twisted corpses lying in pools of blood can be seen everywhere. Some are the original guards of the castle, some are wizard guards wearing black armor, and some are wearing gray
The wizard's apprentice in short robes...
The causes of their deaths varied, but at this moment they all became the hatching places for a strange beetle.
The abdomens of all the corpses were bulging high, and the skin was stretched as thin as a piece of paper. You could almost see the red blood-water solution inside. When the blood and water were turning, you could also see some strange insects densely packed like a honeycomb at regular intervals.
egg.
Vaguely, you can still hear some strange gnawing sounds!
Bang bang bang...
As the incubation ended, the abdomens of the bloody corpses began to burst one after another, scarlet and sticky blood flowed all over the ground, and large numbers of black larvae emerged from them like a tide.
These black larvae are only about the size of a fingernail. They shake their bodies and shake off the sticky flesh and blood stains on their bodies. They open their metallic-colored hard plate armor and two pairs of strange elytra, one long and one short, stick out from inside.
Then it flew up with a buzzing sound.
For a time, the black beetles rising from the ground were so dense that they actually formed a huge black smoke ball on top of the ruins of the castle.
As an invisible spiritual shock wave spread out from the castle, the huge black smoke ball split into two. One part flew into the castle and hid in various dark and damp corners. The other part fell to the ground and disappeared in an instant.
No trace.
After doing all this, the insect witch Bliss did not stay in the castle anymore, and left with his own bodyguards, 7 level 2 tearers and 30 level 1 demonized mantises.
As for the insect army hatched in the castle, Billis had no intention of taking them away, but let them lurk inside the castle. Before leaving, Billis's last order to them was
Annihilate all life forms that break into the castle.
Presumably, the lackeys of the Fabrese family will definitely send people to investigate the situation here, and by then, these insect armies will entertain them well.
However, less than half a quarter of an hour after the insect wizard Bilis left the castle, the insect army he left there was touched.
Sensing the large group of spiritual nodes that were quickly extinguishing 3 miles away, Bliss suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the distant battlefield.
There are only two of them, one male and one female, both powerful wizards of the Fabrese family.
Among them, the male wizard was an ice wizard with a stern face and a hint of frost on his brows. The reason why Bliss's insect army was destroyed so quickly was all thanks to this elemental wizard. And the other female
The wizard has a graceful figure, picturesque features, and a pair of eyes imbued with powerful spiritual power that make people dare not look directly at him.
Originally, Bliss was still secretly examining and sizing up the two wizards with the eyes of the insect swarm, but when his eyes collided with those of the female wizard, even though they were three miles away, Bliss couldn't help it.
My eyes hurt and I felt dizzy.
What's even more frightening is that the female wizard seemed to have directly locked onto Billis's soul through her eyes, and coldly said to him: "You can't escape!"
Immediately, the spiritual connection between Billis and the distant insect swarm was suddenly interrupted! (To be continued)
