Age of Adepts

The entire battlefield was silent!

Although deep down in their hearts, arcanists no longer regard wizards as the same kind, but regard them as evil and cruel creatures like disaster creatures and star beasts. But when they witnessed with their own eyes a two-headed wizard transformed into a flesh and blood giant 'cracking' off his companion's head like a monster, and still chewing there, their hearts trembled and trembled!

Therefore, when the flame giant, the two-headed wizard, and the terrible wizard hiding in the astral construct surrounded him, the spirits of the arcanists collapsed.

A violent arcane halo overflowed from the arcane guard tower that was fighting with Wizard Holly, forcing it back, and then threw out a traction halo, pulling the 'companion' who was still struggling with the starlight wizard formation , flew to the distance without looking back.

'Retreat'...

Intimidated by the evil wizards, this group of arcanists retreated without a fight!

Looking at the frantically fleeing figure of the other party, the two-headed wizard couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and said contemptuously: "Hmph, a group of idiots who have never been on the battlefield..."

Even Greem couldn't help sighing secretly as he watched the other party's back quickly leaving.

The fighting will of these arcanists is too weak!

Perhaps within the Arcane Empire, knowledge-only theory is raging, and those old scholars and antiques with profound knowledge also have a higher status and power.

With the Arcane Tower, the Floating City, the Half-Plane Fortress, and the Arcane Guards, Arcanists naturally don't need to do it themselves, let alone go to the front line of the battlefield like barbaric warriors Kill the enemy in blood.

In their cognition, the so-called war is to stay leisurely in the safe rear, press the crystal hub, command the strong ship and cannon (half-plane fortress), and drive the bottom cannon fodder (arcane guard) , to quickly tear open the enemy's line of defense.

And they only need to throw grand arcane spells on the enemy one by one with a smile on their faces under the protection of the arcane barrier.

War is an art, and what we need to do is to use our knowledge to crush all enemies!

It is under the influence of this kind of war thinking that arcanists have become a group of poor fellows who love their lives and cherish their lives. When the blood on the battlefield exceeded their tolerance limit, they turned around and ran away without hesitation.

In fact, if they were more rational and determined, with the cooperation of the two arcane guard towers, there was a high probability that they would be able to entangle or repel the attacks of the three evil wizards. But it's a pity that although the arcane guard tower was not breached, the defense of the arcanist who controlled everything in the tower was severely crushed.

This bunch of trash...

Wizard Holly pursed his lips in disdain, turned around and came to the broken guard tower, smashed a passage with his hard celestial hands, and flew in.

After a while, he flew out again, and casually threw a huge knowledge crystal to Greem. And looking at his beaming appearance, it is obvious that he has gained a lot in the tower.

The war was over, and the three reunited in front of the arcane guard tower.

The two-headed wizard has retreated from the transformation state, and his aura is a little weak, and his body is covered with large and small scars. There was a fist-sized eye-catching blood hole in the lower abdomen, and scarlet blood spilled all over the ground.

However, even with such an injury, Manggs was still full of excitement and joy.

With a muffled pop, Manggs threw the corpse of the 4th-ring Arcanist to the ground, and streams of blood continued to swim out from the headless neck, staining the large swath of soil beneath him red.

Greem swept his eyes and found no space equipment similar to the storage ring on the corpse of the arcanist, so he turned his head and looked elsewhere without mentioning it. And the wizard Holly seemed to have noticed this too, but since Manggs fought hard enough just now, he no longer pursued the matter.

The three of them hastily cleaned the battlefield, and before new enemies appeared, they hurried into the forest and went straight to the next target.

…………

Ruijing Garden, Floating City.

The great arcanist Furuila couldn't contain her anger, and almost wanted to blow off the cover of the entire arcane hall.

She roared angrily, and slammed the long obsidian conference table in front of her. Her sharp and sharp accusations made the two 4th-ring arcanists feel ashamed and unable to look up.

After ordering the arcane guards to suppress the two arcanists in a stern tone, Furuila looked around the people in the hall, the anger on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sorrow from the depths of her soul and resentment.

After contemplating the language for a while, Fu Ruila finally spoke.

"I have received an evacuation order from the Imperial High Command... The order was personally conveyed by His Majesty Garcia, and it was signed by eleven 7-ring grand arcanists..."

Hearing the harsh word 'retreat', the faces of many arcanists present turned pale instantly. During the 127-year battle to defend the plane, they heard countless bad news, and they also knew that the Arcane Empire had worked very hard.

But... the word 'retreat' still frightened them!

The Morian plane is the original plane of the arcanists. The enemy has already hit the door, where else can they retreat? Is it possible to abandon the original plane, retreat to some secondary planes, and live the life of a lost dog?

"Why only His Majesty Garcia and Newman?" An elderly 4th-ring Arcanist stood up tremblingly, staring at Fu Ruila and asked.

Garcia and Newman are the two emperors who hold the supreme power in the Arcane Empire, but the people of the Arcane Empire prefer to call them "Garcia the Ruler" and "Newman the Arbiter".

But in fact, the Arcane Empire is actually a parliamentary republic. The Arcane Emperor is more of an honorary title, which does not mean that the Arcane Empire implements the so-called imperial system.

Hearing the old arcanist's question, the muscles on Fu Ruila's face twitched a few times, and she finally answered.

"There has been a split in the upper echelons of the empire. His Majesty Newman does not agree with His Majesty Garcia's views, and believes that the empire can continue to persevere. So..."

"So His Majesty Garcia advocates fleeing, and His Majesty Newman advocates defending... What about those great arcanists?"

"The great arcanists are also divided into two factions. One faction believes that the Morian plane is difficult to preserve. It is necessary to transfer the core power of the Arcane Empire as soon as possible before the outer defense line is completely collapsed. The other faction... I think that we can fully retreat to the inside of the plane, and use the floating city and the arcane tower to strangle those enemies who dare to invade our world. After all, after the enemy enters the inside of the plane, the strongest strength they can display is no more than the 4th-order peak. The power of the terrain, waiting for work with ease, is entirely possible to wipe out the enemy's elite within the plane..."

"That is to use the entire plane world as the battlefield... If such a plane war is fought, even if we win, there may not be anything left in the entire Morian plane!"

Ferreira was speechless.

It's not that the Arcane Empire has never invaded other plane worlds. Of course, they know how much harm it will bring to ordinary people when a plane world is invaded by terrible aliens. Rivers of blood flowed into rivers, and people were devastated. These words are not enough to describe the horror of the war between the planes.

After a war of planes, there are often not one ordinary creatures that are lucky enough to survive.

What's more, what the Arcane Empire is facing this time is not an enemy, but a huge group that gathers several powerful races in the multiverse. It is almost impossible for the Arcane Empire to survive this 'natural disaster'.

Therefore, the deeper they think, the more arcanists feel that their souls are being torn in two.

They also wanted to follow His Majesty Newman to stay and fight to the death with those alien monsters in order to gain a chance to survive. However, the unique rationality of Arcanists told them that this would only lead to a dead end. Instead, the Arcane Empire would be completely wiped out, and there would be no chance of a comeback.

Therefore, listening silently to Fu Ruila's soft talk about the split that occurred in the upper echelon of the empire, all the arcanists who belonged to the Ruijing Garden Floating Void City were bloody inside and were torn into two halves.

"Then what do you mean?" Another arcanist stood up.

"Currently, the defense line of the empire outside the barriers of the plane is still stable. Except for some sporadic guys who broke in, the major enemies are only those calamity creatures and individual star beasts. Therefore, the news that the empire is preparing to retreat cannot be taken lightly. Leak out."

"Remember, the time and number of people left for us by the upper echelon of the empire is limited. Each arcanist with a 3rd ring or higher can only take two people away, and each arcanist with a 3rd ring or lower can only take one person. In addition, the empire The upper management also reserved 200 places for us to transfer. After you go back, carefully select and screen, and report the names of those who are particularly talented, and I will put them on the transfer list as appropriate..."

"I would like to emphasize again that the news of the empire's retreat is still highly confidential, and any arcanists attending the meeting need to keep it strictly secret. At least before the retreat plan begins, I don't want the internal chaos of the Floating Void City to be caused by the leak of information. You guys Did you hear that?" Speaking of the last sentence, Fu Ruila's voice turned sharply cold, and the mighty aura of a great arcanist enveloped the entire arcane hall in an instant.

"Yes!" All the arcanists stood up in unison, nodding yes.

"Remember, whoever wants to leak the news, his transfer quota will be canceled immediately. At that time, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!" After another stern warning, Fu Ruila relaxed her expression and waved tiredly Said: "You all go down and prepare!"

Seeing the arcanists filing out, Fu Ruila sighed silently, turned and returned to the residence.
