Chapter 169: War and Landing

The chaotic void is far from a calm vacuum.

In its infinite vastness, it is filled with disordered energy, twisted matter, and even more lethal—chaotic time flows.

This turbulence of time caused no small trouble for the precise plane invasion of wizards.

Wei Aola was still introducing to Jie Ming beside her how this chaotic time flow of the void could cause plans to deviate, and how it could cause reinforcements to be delayed or arrive early at critical moments.

In an instant, those theoretical words turned into the most intuitive feelings.

For Jie Ming and the others, ever since the huge spatial crack in the sky was torn open and the Tier 6 wizard of the Kemeili Society announced their arrival, it was only a blink of an eye.

However, when their gaze penetrated the torn chaotic void and looked at the other side of the crack, they were shocked to find.

The destination that should have been empty was now gathered with dense and huge biological legions!

This is not a simple coincidence, but the difference in time flow within the Flame-Frost Plane compared to the external void, and even the "ship" plane that the wizards were riding.

The chaotic time flow allowed the indigenous people to complete the assembly of the army at the "moment" the wizards arrived.

Fortunately, after the two planes contacted each other, the time within the two planes also stabilized.

Thus, the moment the crack in the sky completely stabilized, the lava giant and snow monster elite warriors who had been waiting outside the crack in the Flame-Frost Plane for a long time, under the orders of their kings, drove flying creatures of various shapes, like a stormy sea, carrying scorching magma and biting frost, and pounced toward the "ship" plane where the wizards were riding!

The flying units of the lava giants are flame-winged giant bats. Their huge bodies are enough to block the sun, and they spray corrosive magma bombs from their mouths.

The flying units of the snow monsters are frost-bone giant eagles covered in frost and capable of manipulating cold currents. Their spread wings are dozens of meters wide, and they can stir up ice storms that tear space when they dive down.

They are numerous, each emitting the aura of at least a Tier 1 living being, jointly constructing a death net composed of magma, ice blades, and sharp claws, trying to tear the invaders who had just arrived into pieces.

However, for wizards who have long been through hundreds of battles, such momentum, although grand, is really not worth mentioning.

They had long expected it and had long prepared sufficiently.

Following a low order from Augustinus, on the surface of the plane "ship," the hundreds of thousands of biochemical beasts and artificial cannon fodder legions instantly started!

Huge magic golems flew up from the ground in an unimaginable posture, acting as meat shields in the very front of the team.

They are cast from solid rock and metal, fearless of fire and frost.

Following closely behind are biochemical beasts covered in sharp bone spurs or scales. These creatures, refined from the remains of living beings from different planes, are violent and bloodthirsty, possessing astonishing regenerative abilities.

Among them are countless mechanical constructs and elemental creature groups with eyes flashing with rune light, rushing toward the enemy position like a tide.

The torrent composed of flesh and blood and metal collided violently with the tide composed of ice and snow and magma in the sky near the void crack!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth-shattering roar instantly tore the tranquility of the sky!

Scorching magma bombs and cold frost winds intertwined, erupting into thick white mist and a pungent burnt smell.

The flesh and blood bodies of the lava giant bats were torn into pieces under the mechanical eagle blades, and the heavy bodies of the stone golems also had thick ice layers condensed on their surfaces under the frost breath of the frost-bone giant eagles, finally cracking under intensive strikes.

The three torrents with vastly different colors exploded in the void at the same time!

Like three rolling inks, they twisted crazily in the huge collision, eroding, devouring, and annihilating each other.

Countless biochemical beasts and lava giants and snow monsters were torn to pieces by powerful energy impacts in mid-air.

Broken limbs, metal fragments, scorched magma, and solidified ice crystals fell from the sky like a rainstorm, smashing onto the surface of the wizard "ship" or falling into the Flame-Frost Plane.

This is a meat grinder battle that entered the white-hot stage from the very beginning without any probing!

Lava Giant King Calamos and Snow Monster King Agron were originally suspicious and scolded each other for being despicable and shameless when they saw the other's legions flying toward the sky crack at the same time.

However, accompanied by the wizard cannon fodder legions surging out of the crack like a tide, they didn't have time to think about these things.

The two monster kings looked at the huge legions rushing out of the crack and their faces changed drastically. They could only hurriedly command their respective soldiers to meet them and point their spears outward together.

The war lasted for four or five days, and the roar in the sky never stopped.

Although the wizards' cannon fodder legions suffered heavy casualties, they were numerous and continuously replenished from the "ship."

And the flying units in the Flame-Frost Plane indigenous legions, especially those high-tier flame-winged giant bats and frost-bone giant eagles, had their numbers sharply reduced under the consumption tactics of wizard mechanical constructs and elemental creature groups, and their flight advantage gradually lost.

As the indigenous air power of the Flame-Frost Plane became less and less, the wizard side began to gain the upper hand.

The enemy's counterattack appeared weak, and the wizard's front line advanced steadily.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the combat-type wizards sitting in the rear also began to join the battle one after another.

They drove their own powerful power, or condensed elemental giants, or drove elemental storms, or released various explosions, joining the slaughter of the battle group.

The addition of every Tier 2 or Tier 3 wizard was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly triggering ripples, harvesting the lives of a large number of low-tier living beings.

Just as the wizard's offensive was in full swing and the front line was about to be pushed to the Flame-Frost Plane, accompanied by two huge roars that almost tore the atmosphere, two equally terrifying pressures swept across the entire plane battlefield like materialized tsunamis!

"Roar!!!"

"Screech!!!"

That was Lava Giant Calamos and Snow Monster King Agron attacking at the same time!

Calamos's huge body turned into a scorching magma meteor, carrying ten thousand tons of force, and crashed directly into the most dense front-line position of the wizard legion.

His huge lava arms swept across, and a lava shockwave instantly spread, flushing the formation of wizard biochemical beasts and low-tier wizards within a range of several thousand meters, and even a few Tier 1 wizards who couldn't dodge in time were vaporized on the spot.

Agron rushed into the battlefield like an ice-snow ghost from another direction.

His palms condensed two frost-cold blades, and every time he swung, a torrent of ice cones visible to the naked eye roared out, freezing the wizard's mechanical puppets into ice sculptures and then instantly blasting them to pieces.

Wherever he went, everything was frozen, and the air solidified.

However, the terrifying momentum of these two monster kings did not cause too much damage to the wizard's legion as expected.

Almost the moment they attacked, on the "ship" plane, a stream of light that was equally brilliant and powerful galloped down like lightning.

That was one of the only three Tier 5 wizards in this expedition!

He was wearing a simple gray magic robe, his figure appeared small in front of the two monster kings, but he emitted a grand aura that was no less than theirs.

This Tier 5 wizard was one of the commanders dispatched by the Nuolun Workshop for this expedition—Master Alwin.

His figure was flexible and his movements were swift. His right hand was slightly clenched, and streaks of pure energy light columns shot out from his fingertips like lasers, accurately hitting the attack trajectories of Calamos and Agron, forcibly shifting or offsetting them.

He alone held back the joint attack of two peak Tier 6 living beings!

Not only that, this Tier 5 wizard Master Alwin even had the energy to counterattack.

His figure was like a ghost, leaving trails of afterimages as he moved.

Every flicker was accompanied by a crack that tore through space.

He held his hand in the air, without a staff, but could condense an elemental giant sword dozens of meters long out of thin air. Once the sword was out, even the two kings had to be vigilant.

The combat power system of wizards, to a certain extent, is contrary to common sense.

Before Tier 8 wizards, as the level increases, when wizards face living beings of other combat systems, their combat power for cross-level challenges becomes stronger and stronger.

The particularity of wizards themselves allows them to not just be a simple superposition of power every time they raise a level, but a leap in cognition of the essence of the world.

This advantage is almost impossible to replicate in other combat systems.

Wizard apprentices, because they have not accumulated enough knowledge and their understanding of various technologies is extremely superficial, almost cannot fight across levels.

By Tier 1 wizards, only individuals with innate talent and excellent combat consciousness can challenge living beings one level higher.

And by Tier 2 wizards, the vast majority of wizards can challenge Tier 3 living beings, and even easily defeat them in certain advantageous fields.

By Tier 3 and Tier 4 wizards, they begin to touch plane laws and can flexibly use multiple law powers.

Their relaxed state when fighting living beings one level higher can no longer be called a cross-level challenge, but a crushing!

And those Tier 5 and Tier 6 wizards, their control over their own wizard system reaches the extreme, and they begin to be able to involve law solidification and distortion.

Their power can easily tear space and twist matter.

Under the premise of cross-level fighting, they can even fight one against many.

For example, now, Master Alwin, as a Tier 5 wizard, can independently contain two Tier 6 powerhouses of the same level, and even not fall into a disadvantage in a short time.

However, the cross-level combat power of wizards ends at Tier 7.

Although Tier 8 wizards can hold down hundreds of living beings of the same level with one hand, facing the particularity of Tier 9 living beings, Tier 8 wizards return to a situation similar to wizard apprentices in terms of pure cross-level fighting—almost impossible to fight across levels.

Tier 9 living beings, their strength is not through simple energy superposition, and cannot be compensated by simple cross-level fighting.

"Flame Fury!!!"

Lava Giant Calamos roared, his body suddenly expanded, turning into a lava titan hundreds of meters tall.

Every step he took could make flames surge, and the scorching wind blew away a large area of the wizard cannon fodder legion.

His huge fist, carrying the tail flame of magma, blasted toward Alwin.

Alwin's figure swayed, a spatial ripple rippled in front of him, and he instantly moved a hundred meters away, dodging this fatal blow.

At the same time, his right hand guided, and hundreds of energy missiles appeared around Calamos like starlight, then instantly exploded, blasting scorched black pits on the surface of the lava giant.

Although it failed to cause fatal wounds, it also made him furious.

"Frost Decree!"

Snow Monster King Agron slapped his claws fiercely, and a huge frost rune suddenly condensed in the void.

Immediately, the air temperature in half of the battlefield plummeted, countless wizard biochemical beasts were frozen, and even some low-tier wizards who couldn't react in time were instantly frozen stiff, turning into crystal-clear ice sculptures.

Agron's huge body shuttled rapidly in the frost, looking for Alwin's flaws.

Blue light flashed in Alwin's eyes, and hundreds of mirror clones appeared around him instantly.

These clones instantly dispersed the influence of the frost rune, distracting Agron's attention.

His main body instantly condensed a powerful spatial barrier, forcibly blocking Agron's charge, and the collision of the two forces stirred up a harsh friction sound in the air.

The battle between the three top powerhouses, every attack carried astonishing destructive power.

Their battlefield was like an independent dimension, every exchange caused the surrounding space to collapse and elements to be chaotic.

The ordinary legions fighting below were even more deeply affected.

The violent elemental aftermath spread at will, and it could harvest large areas of life.

The lava giant's flame spray was frozen by frost, and the snow monster's ice cones were also evaporated by energy.

In the center of the battlefield, whether it was the wizard's biochemical beasts or the indigenous elite warriors, they were all consuming at an astonishing speed!

The entanglement between these three powerhouses lasted for nearly an hour.

Although Master Alwin was sensitive and powerful, he was fighting one against two after all. Facing the joint attack of two Tier 6 living beings, even a Tier 5 master like him gradually revealed fatigue.

There were a few scorched marks on his magic robe, and his breathing became rapid.

The two monster kings fought more and more bravely. Although they failed to truly hit Alwin, every attack could limit his actions.

Finally, accompanied by a heavy punch from Calamos that seemed to crack the world, and an unexpected surprise attack from Agron, Master Alwin let out a muffled groan.

The light around him suddenly restrained, forming a stream of light, and retreated rapidly toward the "ship" plane at a speed far exceeding when he came.

He "narrowly lost" to the joint attack of the two monster kings.

But even so, he successfully contained the two Tier 6 powerhouses for long enough, winning precious time for the landing of the wizard's main force.

The two monster kings did not pursue.

They also consumed quite a bit. Calamos's huge body was emitting white smoke, the speed of lava flowing became slow, and his aura was somewhat disordered.

Agron's white hair was burned off a part by the aftermath of the battle, his aura became colder, and his eyes were full of fatigue.

They looked at the retreating wizards vigilantly, and then looked at each other, both with suspicion and incomprehension on their faces.

Afterward, they could only issue unwilling roars, leading the legions with heavy casualties to retreat to their respective territories.

Because of the retreat of the two monster kings, the wizards successfully took down the landing point.

Augustinus's cold gaze swept over the battlefield wreckage, and then issued instructions to all logistics-type wizards: "Build a camp! Defense system! Energy furnace! As fast as possible!"

Following the order, Jie Ming, Wei Aola, and other logistics-type wizards acted immediately.

They are the key to connecting the preceding and the following in this invasion, responsible for ensuring the stability of subsequent troops and supplies.

At the first moment of receiving the order, they took out the alchemy materials, rune puppets, and defense array cores they had reserved from their space equipment.

"Jie Ming, you are responsible for the construction of the core energy matrix!" Wei Aola instructed loudly as soon as she landed. "I will take people to arrange the peripheral defense!"

"Understood!" Jie Ming responded. He no longer reserved anything, the floating cannon array quickly flew out from behind him, conducting vigilance in the air.

And he quickly formed seals with both hands, and his spiritual power spread out like mercury pouring onto the ground.

They must take advantage of the time before the monsters attack next time to quickly build various protective measures here and establish a temporary outpost camp!

A long and bloody plane conquest war has just opened its prelude.
