Age of Adepts

Quack quack...

With a loud and piercing squawk, the group of stragglers suddenly exploded in all directions, chose to stay away from the goblin convoy, and circled and flew outside the range of the artillery attack.

They no longer charge and attack on a large scale, but form attack teams in twos and threes, rushing into the vicinity of the convoy from all directions, continuously eroding the energy mask with sticky fire liquid. Once the attack is completed, quickly withdraw from the artillery attack area, and continue to circle outside to wait for the opportunity.

The number of battle magic equipment is not too much, not enough to overturn all the sky around the position. And once their artillery fire is scattered, it will not be so lethal to the fire crows.

"Huh?" Seeing this scene, the goblin commander Pike was taken aback, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that there is a leader among this group of fire crows?"

Adult fire crows are mostly Tier 1 monsters. Although their strength is good, their intelligence level is obviously not comparable to that of humans. And only when a first-level or second-level fire crow queen is born, the intelligence of the entire group will be significantly improved.

Only the higher-ranking Fire Crow King could have such wisdom, see through the flaws of the goblin convoy's inability to move quickly, and voluntarily evacuate from the battlefield.

Pike immediately picked up the binoculars and tried his best to find the Fire Crow King among the fire crows flying all over the sky. Sure enough, following the direction where the cry came out just now, Pike saw a strange fire crow that was particularly handsome and had a huge size.

On top of its bird's head, there is even a circle of golden feathers, which looks like wearing a strange crown from a distance.

It seems that this guy has not only become the leader, but also has the tendency to evolve into a king!

"Mane, pay attention to the direction of xxx, the fire crow king of xxx, I want you to bring the magic equipment team to take it down! The team will provide you with fire protection..." As soon as he found the main target, Pike immediately ordered the battle instruction.

Mane, the captain of the magic weapon combat team who was hiding in the battle magic weapon and was struggling to attack the fire crow, turned around when he heard this, and immediately locked the strange-looking fire crow through the tactical goggles and the hidden triangular window.

"Come on, shoot me that ugly turkey!"

Amidst its arrogant and long-screaming laughter, 11 combat magic weapons rushed out of the energy mask, fired violently, and approached the target area.

After hundreds of years of technological upgrades, the current battle magic equipment is no longer comparable to the old steam machinery of the past.

The standard equipment of the pg-52 battle magic weapon is two Mark 2 magic cannons on the shoulders, two magic cannons on the chest, and a quadruple magic ray gun on the arm. Sixteen rounds of goblin missiles...

With such a powerful firepower, the pg-52 combat magic weapon can completely rival a second-level wizard. At least on the frontal battlefield, the metal magical equipment squads lined up in a dense battle formation can be called battlefield sweepers.

Wherever they went, goblin missiles rose into the sky slowly, and plunged into the group of fire crows with ear-piercing screams. The exploded warhead was filled with a large number of metal projectiles and arcane crystal fragments. They exploded continuously in mid-air, and the scattered metal projectiles could completely overturn a vast space.

Although a flying monster like the fire crow has excellent magic resistance, otherwise it would not be able to easily pass through the gaps in space. But their body surface lacks the protection of hard scales, and their physical defense is much inferior.

Therefore, in the face of the overwhelming metal barrage, the feathers of the fire crows were flying, black blood was splashed, and they fell into the sky with a shrill neigh.

But more fire crows exploded angrily, rushing towards the combat magic equipment team protruding from the energy mask from all directions. Before the bird arrives, the fire liquid arrives first!

Puff puff A series of fire liquid spewed towards the magic weapon team.

"Open the shield... open the shield... remember to open the shield!" Mane's scream resounded through the communication crystal.

Every corner of the battle magic equipment's body pivoted, revealing diamond-shaped crystals, and quickly propped up energy shields of different shapes under the infusion of magic energy. The individual protection of these energy shields may not be too strong, but when they are superimposed on each other, they have a larger protection angle and higher defensive toughness than the original version of the magic energy shield.

Taking advantage of the energy shield to block the spray of fire liquid from all directions, the battle magic squad opened fire with all their might. A series of magic energy cannons and rapid-fire cannons ejected large or small energy fireballs, blasting the swooping fire crows into a bloody mist. And the quadruple-mounted magic energy ray guns installed on their arms made even more noises, shooting the fire crows down into the sky with scorching rays or frost rays.

In the communication channel, the crazy roars and screams of the goblin mechanics rang out.

At this time, there is no need to bother with any tactical command. Blocking the enemy's attack and pouring all the artillery fire on the enemy, this is the only thing they can do!

And the goblin convoy at the rear also shifted their muzzles over, clearing the road ahead for them with dense salvos of artillery and missile attacks.

This is a cruel trail paved purely by the remnants of the Fire Crow and the scraps of flesh and blood!

And the fire crow's siege was not without any results. After breaking away from the cover of the energy mask, the magic equipment protection of a single body could not take care of every corner after all. Therefore, under the intensive siege of the crazy fire crows, the energy shields of each battle magic weapon were eroded or exploded, and then they could only rely on their solid metal shells to withstand the fire liquid.

Since the battle, the magic equipment team has rushed 700 meters and penetrated into the group of fire crows, killing and wounding nearly 300 fire crows. And they themselves also damaged two magical equipment.

All the metal shells were burned through by the fire liquid, which caused a big explosion before they fell down. Naturally, the goblin mechanic inside had no reason to survive.

Up to this moment, there are only less than 200 fire crows left in the huge group of fire crows.

The Fire Crow King was obviously extremely angry, and led his personal guards to attack the magic squad.

The fire liquid they spray is obviously more powerful and more corrosive than ordinary fire crows. Two more magical machines were burnt through the armor one after another, and then the goblin mechanic was nailed to death in the cockpit by a fire arrow from the Fire Crow King.

However, in the face of the joint strangulation of the goblin convoy and the magical squad, the Fire Crow King obviously couldn't find any more opportunities to attack. After all, the fire crow's fire spray attack range is only 100 meters, while the magic weapon team's attack range covers 300-700 meters.

If goblin missiles are counted, the furthest attack range is 1500 meters!

With such a disparity, the fire crows could only resist the attacks of artillery and energy rays with their flesh and blood. In the end, the Fire Crows were naturally defeated!

Finally, the Fire Crow King admitted defeat, and with a strange squawk, he withdrew from the battlefield westward with more than thirty remnants of Fire Crows.

In order to prevent the fire crows from running around and bringing disaster to the town of the goblins, the goblin convoy had no choice but to chase after them closely, and the two sides fought and retreated all the way away.

And this kind of scene, the same scene is also appearing in every corner of the goblin plane.

Fortunately, the goblin plane is a typical low-magic plane. Even if the tide of magic comes, the plane's environment is still so repulsive to magic power. Therefore, overly powerful monsters or strange monsters simply disdain to visit here, and their goals are more on those higher planes.

In addition, the original number of monsters on the goblin plane cannot be scaled up, and it is even more impossible to form an overly powerful impact on the goblins who are all magically mechanized.

Therefore, since the outbreak of the demon tide, apart from sporadic goblin towns suffering heavy losses from strange monster attacks, large-scale casualties are still rare!

However, not all planes are as 'lucky' as the Goblin plane.

Almost all material planes are facing internal and external pincers due to the impact of the magic tide.

The invasion of star beasts, calamity creatures, and strange monsters outside, and the impact of the herd of magical creatures inside... For a while, all those in power and the ruling class were overwhelmed by the trouble and were too busy.

No matter how strict they are, they can't stop the alien monsters from sneaking in, and they can't stop the herd of beasts from gushing out of the ancient forest. Therefore, some incompetent people in power can only choose to give up some civilians and territories, and concentrate what little power they have in their hands to protect their own manors and properties.

As for those abandoned territories and civilians, they can only ask for more blessings!

After all, they lack the protection of extraordinary power, even if only a level 1 or 2 monster breaks in, it can cause an unimaginably huge and terrible disaster to them.

And among these many small and medium-sized planes, many intelligent races that previously occupied a dominant position gave the enemy a chance to rise due to their mistakes in dealing with the magic tide. As a result, internal 'revolutions' broke out in many planes, realizing the transformation of the ruling class.

But no matter how hard they tried to stabilize the plane environment, a huge turmoil and chaos that swept all the planes still broke out!

The wise men and scholars of many planes unanimously called this chaotic and turbulent era the 'Dark Age'. What makes them feel desperate and angry is that, based on past experience, this 'Dark Era' may last for a hundred years...

A hundred years... For most planar creatures, this is their lifetime!

…………

When darkness falls, there is pain, and there is happiness!

At this moment, the happiness of the people living in the Elovis area is particularly strong.

After the demon tide broke out, rumors of monsters and star beasts invading spread from all over the central mainland. Even in some areas, there have been horrific incidents in which entire villages and towns have been swallowed up by strange monsters.

The more such rumors were heard, the more it brought out the tranquility of the Elovis area.

After all, this is the territory of the Crimson Family, and it has also become the core area of ​​the central part of the target continent. Therefore, there are many more top wizards gathered here than elsewhere.

Their existence is usually invisible, but when the real crisis comes, it becomes very precious.
