This is a huge wooden boat.
However, unlike other wooden boats, it does not sail in the river, but slowly floats in mid-air.
The tall mast, the resplendent appearance, and the sharp ramming angle in front give it a strange look of elegance and magnificence. And the most conspicuous position on the side of the hull is a striking Fabres family crest.
And on the land under it in all directions, front, back, left, and right, you can see the neat formation of the formation slowly moving forward with the wooden boat as the center.
A cabin, a secret room.
Seven wizards were gathering in front of a witchcraft sand table, whispering in low voices.
On the witchcraft sand table, the topography and landmarks of the entire Elovis area are displayed in an ups and downs. The entire area near the southwest has become green, while the rest of the area is either red or green or yellow, patchwork, and so on.
Green indicates land that has been occupied or surrendered, yellow indicates territory that still belongs to the Crimson family, and red indicates territory that is in fierce competition...
The seven third-level wizards discussed in low voices. Whenever a decision was made, they would pick up a three-dimensional model chess piece from the table and place it somewhere on the sand table. On the chess pieces, there are witchcraft imprints of different colors and shapes flashing.
Whenever there is any change on the sand table, there will be special personnel next to it to record the decisions of the top family members and pass them on to the outside. When the order is conveyed to the specific wizards and teams, several people in the team gathered around the wooden boat will take up the task and go straight to the distance.
Of course, every moment, there will be teams that complete the task and return.
In this way, the chess pieces available at the witchcraft sand table are always in a 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. Dense cracks first appeared on the surface of the chess piece, and then the witchcraft imprint on it faded completely after being turned on and off several times.
And this usually indicates the death of the family wizard who performed the task!
If this happened 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 wizarding family war not to cause some casualties.
However, the mission failed in five places at once, and the wizard died. This... they can't help but pay attention to it!
Uma, one of the seven high-ranking wizards, glanced over and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.
Four out of the five mission failures were missions that he personally arranged. With such a probability, it's no wonder that he was secretly annoyed, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Taking a closer look, you can see that the Cold Wind Territory, Silver Spring Mine, Savia Castle, Ilgara Stone Tower, Alixton City... are all secular territories or resource points located outside the core circle of the Crimson Family. It stands to reason that based on the intelligence investigation conducted by the Fabres family in the early stage, the strength of the team sent to each mission point should be several times that of the opponent, and the probability of failure should not be so high.
Uma casually picked up the broken chess pieces placed in Savia Castle, and immediately identified their identities from the extinguished witchcraft brand. Relying on the authority of the core wizard, he also quickly connected to the spiritual frequency of this wizard team.
"I am Uma Wizard from the headquarters, is there anyone in the Crystal Spear team alive?"
…
The same spiritual secret words were widely used many times in one breath before barely getting a little response.
"Lord Uma, hurry... come... save... us..."
It was an apprentice wizard who fed back messages from the mental frequency, but he seemed to be running 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?"
"Yes... worm witch... yes... ah..."
The sorcerer apprentice screamed out in the middle of his words, since he had lost the last contact.
Worm witch... Billis, the core second-tier bug witch of the Crimson family
Uma's brows were immediately wrinkled together.
If this guy is really the case, the horror follow-up mission will be a little difficult.
Since the accident occurred in Uma's war zone, even if the other third-level wizards saw it, they would just laugh and ignore it. Only Wizard Linus, who is closer to Uma, couldn't help whispering: "How is it, do you need help?"
Uma refused with a calm face.
It was just a low-intensity battle outside the family. As a veteran third-tier wizard of the Fabres family, he had enough wizards under his command, so there was no need to ask other third-tier wizards for help. Otherwise, once it is leaked out, it will provoke the ridicule of other third-level wizards.
"How is the situation there?" Uma couldn't help asking back.
Among the five failed missions, the Ilgara Tower was the battle zone of the wizard Linus, so he asked this question.
"A Tier 2 blood dragon appeared there, and killed all the guys I sent... I'm trying to find a way to encircle it!" After explaining the reason, Wizard Linus said angrily, "What about you?"
Uma put down the rest of the broken chess pieces, her face was so gloomy that she could almost squeeze out ink.
"Damn it, it's the worm witch, the dragon man, and that goblin... The core 2nd-level members of the Crimson family are all on my side..." No wonder he was so resentful. In such a vast and huge family battlefield, the opponent's core combat power is so powerful. They all ran into his war zone to make trouble, this bad breath was really hard to swallow.
"Bliss the bug witch? Be careful, this guy is very difficult to deal with. Ordinary level 2 wizards can't compete with his bug army. It's easy for a level 3 wizard like you and me to defeat him, but it's a bit difficult to kill him Already..." Hearing Uma's answer, even Linus, who was still angry just now, couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
To deal with a worm witch who can have countless clones, it is more appropriate to find a soul wizard to deal with him. Relying on the soul wizard's profound attainments in searching and locking souls, he can find Billis' real soul body from the thousands of insects, and this is the only way to kill him with one blow, so that he has no chance to escape.
However, Uma didn't have a second-level soul wizard under his command, so he hesitated again and again, and could only ask other 'partners' for help in a low voice.
Borrowed a 2nd-level soul wizard from another 3rd-level wizard, and paired it with a 2nd-level elemental wizard under his own hands. With two-on-one, it is so targeted, and 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 Savia Castle, and a series of fine and subtle orders were also passed on layer by layer.
...
Savia Castle.
The once quiet and beautiful old 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 in black armor, and some are wizard apprentices in gray tunics...
The reasons for their death vary, but at this moment, they have all become the hatching grounds of a strange beetle.
The abdomens of all the corpses were raised high, and the epidermis was stretched as thin as a piece of paper, and the red blood solution inside could almost be seen. While the blood was stirring, some strange insect eggs that were densely packed like a honeycomb could be seen every now and then.
Indistinctly, some strange gnawing sounds could be heard!
bang bang bang...
As the hatching ended, the abdomens of the blood corpses began to burst one by one, scarlet and sticky blood flowed all over the ground, and large numbers of black larvae drilled out of them like a tide.
These black larvae are only the size of a fingernail, shaking their bodies, shaking off the sticky flesh and blood stains on their bodies, opening the hard metal-colored plate armor, protruding from the inside two pairs of strange elytra wings, one long and one short, Then it flew up with a buzzing noise.
For a moment, the black beetles rising from the ground were so dense that they actually formed a huge black cloud of smoke on the ruins of the castle.
Following the transmission of an invisible spiritual shock wave in the castle, the huge black cloud of smoke split into two parts, one part flew into the castle and hid in various dark and damp corners, and the other part fell to the ground and disappeared in an instant no trace.
After doing all this, the worm witch Billis did not stay in the castle any longer, and left swaggeringly with his personal guards, 7 Tier 2 Rippers and 30 Tier 1 Demonized Mantises.
As for the bug army hatched in the castle, Billis had no intention of taking them away at all, but let them lurk inside the castle. Before leaving, Billis gave them the last order to wipe out all life forms that broke into the castle.
Presumably, the lackeys of the Fabres family will definitely send people to investigate the situation here, and then the worm army will entertain them well.
However, less than half an hour after the worm witch Billis left the castle, the worm army he left there was touched.
Sensing the large group of spiritual nodes that were rapidly extinguishing 3 miles away, Billy stopped and looked back at the distant battlefield.
There were only two of them, a man and a woman, both powerful wizards of the Fabres family.
Among them, the male wizard is an ice-type wizard with a stern face and a faint frost on his brows. The reason why Billis's bug army was destroyed so quickly was all thanks to this elemental wizard. As for the other female wizard, she had a graceful figure, picturesque features, and a pair of pupils imbued with powerful spiritual power that made people dare not look directly at them.
Originally, Billis was still secretly examining and sizing up the two wizards with the eyes of the swarm, but when his gaze collided with the gaze of the female wizard, even though they were three miles away, Billis couldn't help it. Eyes stinging, dizzy for a while.
What's even more frightening is that the female wizard seemed to lock onto Billis's soul breath directly through her eyes, and said coldly at him: "You can't escape!"
Immediately, the spiritual connection between Billis and the distant swarm was cut off!
