The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 189

Green smoke rises slowly, lingering among the stalactites.

After passing through the ruined city gate, Sherman walked on the devastated streets, looking around.

There were faint shouts of killing in the distance, and sporadic fighting was still happening in the city, but the war situation had been decided, and it wouldn't take long for the war to be completely settled.

The process of conquering Firehammer City was extremely easy.

The dwarves built the city wall with solid black rock and watered it with molten ice and iron, which greatly strengthened the city wall's resistance to elemental energy.

In addition, various defensive equipment were manufactured and placed on the city wall. There were even bed crossbows and stone carts inside. The equipment was so sophisticated that it was rare in the entire underground world.

It's a pity that they are facing the powerful and indestructible army of golems.

The attacks of bed crossbows and stone carts have limited effect on golems with hard bodies.

The city wall is also unable to withstand a large-scale golem charge.

Under the fierce offensive of the golem army headed by the adamantine golem, Firehammer City's proud city defenses only lasted less than half an hour before collapsing.

Without the obstruction of the city wall, the Golem Army marched straight in and quickly defeated the defenders of Fire Hammer City.

Now most of Firehammer City has fallen into the control of the Covenant.

The Demon Pattern Knights are wiping out the remaining enemy forces that are still resisting, and are expected to take complete control of the entire Firehammer City soon.

Leaving the finishing work to the Demon Pattern Knights, Sherman and Atil took the wizard apprentices straight to the palace in the center of Firehammer City.

In order to improve the efficiency of expansion, the Covenant's more than forty second-level wizard apprentices were divided into two teams, led by Sherman and Artil, and Kore and Ethan. They led the golem army in two groups and conquered the indigenous tribes along the way. and city-states.

Firehammer City is the seventh city-state that Sherman's army has captured in more than half a year.

The king of the dwarves had already died in the attack and defense of the city gate, and they were going to the palace to receive the wealth of the city-state.

They rushed into the palace unimpeded. When they opened the warehouse and saw the dazzling array of rare metals and gold coins inside, the wizard apprentices couldn't help but take a breath.

"Make a fortune!" A wizard apprentice said with excitement.

Everyone else was also beaming with joy.

The contribution value they get from the war depends not only on the size and number of city-states captured, but also on the value of the spoils.

The more valuable the loot, the higher the contribution they end up with.

Sherman was also quite pleased.

After collecting all the loot in the warehouse into the space ring, the group then carefully searched the palace. After making sure that nothing was missing, they began to arrange accommodation.

After capturing Fire Hammer City, they would stay for a few days, waiting for the troops behind to take over the city-state, and replenish supplies before heading to their next destination.

Sherman found a study room and prepared to write a battle report.

Every once in a while, he would write a battle report to summarize the recent battle situation, and these battle reports would eventually be gathered on the teacher's desk.

Adil sat aside, chatting with Sherman.

"I heard that there is a crystal ball in Starlight Academy that can test mental and physical data. I really want to see it."

"After we capture Demon Spider City, we can see it when we go back to the academy."

Sherman said with a smile while writing the battle report.

When the academy opened, they were outside attacking the city and plundering territory. They had not yet seen the conditions of the academy with their own eyes. They could only occasionally hear some information from the apprentices who returned to the battlefield and Longlin.

However, this situation will not last long. The Star Alliance's front has now advanced to less than 500 kilometers away from the Demon Spider City. If everything goes well, they should be able to capture the Demon Spider City in at most one year.

When the war is over, you can go back to the academy.

"I heard that the three new instructors in the academy were from the same wizarding organization as the teacher. They seemed to be called Jungle House?" Atil said with curiosity in his eyes, "I wonder what kind of people they are?"

Sherman pondered: "Those who can be in the same wizard organization as the teacher should have excellent strength and knowledge."

"That's right." Adil nodded with deep understanding.

The person who can be invited by the teacher to be the tutor of the college is naturally not an ordinary person.

"With tutors teaching, it will be much easier for future students to learn knowledge."

"It's a pity that we didn't catch the good time."

"That's not to say that. When we first came here, there were very few people in the base. At that time, we could exchange our contribution points for the teacher's guidance, which was not bad." Sherman said with a smile.

Adil thought so, and at that time they could ask Lady Amy for advice if they didn't understand anything.

Later students did not receive such good treatment.

Now Lady Amy is addicted to the game of hunting for treasures in the underground world, and has no time to deal with other people.

They only exchanged a few words with her, Sherman and Corey when they met.

Nowadays, many new apprentices only know Lady Amy by name but not by name.

"The new round of qualification testing ended a few days ago. I heard that a lot of people passed this time. There should be a large number of new students in the academy this year."

"This is a good thing." A faint smile appeared on Sherman's face.

As the teacher was promoted to wizard, the speed of development and growth of the Star Alliance has also accelerated a lot.

In particular, the establishment of Starlight Academy undoubtedly marks the beginning of a new era.

From now on, wizard apprentices will become more and more active in Starlight Continent, participate in more events, and be known to more and more people, instead of only existing in legends like before.

The current situation in the underground world is an extremely powerful proof.

The territory of the Star Alliance has now expanded to cover most of the southeastern region. Even in the most remote corners of the underground world, the name of the Star Alliance has long been heard, and even the prestigious name of the wizard (apprentice) has spread throughout the underground world.

And this situation will most likely repeat itself in the surface world in the near future.

Although the surface world is currently calm, Sherman is very clear that the Star Empire's large-scale purchase of materials from the Covenant has not been interrupted, and there is even a tendency to increase the amount. It is obvious that it is recharging its energy for the next step. Prepare for a war.

In the near future, the Starry Empire will most likely start a new round of war and completely unify the entire Southeast Region.

And a hegemonic empire that rules the southeastern region of the continent is undoubtedly in the interests of the Star Alliance.

By then, the teacher might allow the Covenant to help.

Sherman was thinking deeply when he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of footsteps.

A wizard apprentice came in.

"Captain, the Demon Pattern Knights have made a new discovery, you'd better come over and take a look."

Sherman's eyes showed doubts. It's just a dwarf city-state. What discovery can be made that deserves so much attention from the wizard apprentices in the team?

Out of curiosity, Sherman put down his paper and pen, stood up and left the study, and went to the central square of the palace with Atil.

Near the entrance of the square, a group of dragon antelopes were pacing back and forth leisurely.

This group of powerful and elegant creatures has scales that range from reddish brown to bright gold. A pair of broad wings extend from their shoulders, with a wingspan of more than nine meters when flying.

The Dragon Orb Knights were formed during the period when the Covenant stopped expanding, so they have not really proven their strength on the battlefield.

It wasn't until more than half a year ago that the Covenant launched its expansion operation again, and the Dragon Antelope Knights had the opportunity to show their strength.

The outstanding results also surprised many people.

In the underground world, very few armies can withstand the joint charge of nearly three hundred knights with legendary combat power.

In the previous siege battle, after the walls of Firehammer City collapsed, it was the charge of the Dragon Antelope Knights that tore apart the last line of defense of the dwarves in one fell swoop, successfully setting the stage for the battle.

Such an amazing performance makes Sherman look forward to the future of this army.

When the number of the dragon antelope knights increases further and reaches the size of a small legion, it will inevitably become a powerful weapon that scares the enemy.

Withdrawing his gaze from Longling, Sherman turned to look at the crowd in the center of the square.

There were more than a dozen fully armed knights, headed by Colen, one of the deputy captains of the Demon Pattern Knights. He was also the commander of this dragon antelope knight force.

"Your Excellency Sherman, Your Excellency Atil."

Seeing Sherman and Atil approaching, Coren immediately stepped forward to greet them.

Although he has been promoted to a legendary knight and has the status of deputy leader of the Demon Pattern Knights, he still does not dare to neglect and despise two of the most outstanding students under Su Nan's command.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Colen."

After saying hello and exchanging pleasantries, Sherman went straight to the point and asked about the so-called discovery.

Coren pointed to a dwarf sitting on the ground with a chain on his body and said: "We found this guy in the prison of Firehammer City. According to the prison guards, he escaped from a city-state ahead that was captured by the dark elves. The one who came out was imprisoned by the dwarves after arriving at Firehammer City."

"I thought I might be able to get some information out of his mouth, so I had someone take him out of the prison. Unexpectedly, I actually asked some information."

Hearing that it was related to the dark elves, Sherman and Atil suddenly looked more serious.

Sherman turned to look at the dwarf.

Perhaps he suffered a lot during his escape, or he might have been tortured by the dwarf. This dwarf's clothes were in tatters, barely providing much protection. He was also dirty, and his face was visibly haggard. Full of panic.

Dwarves and gnomes are the so-called "people of stone" who are good at dealing with stones, and are good at prospecting, mining and smelting.

The former is famous for metal forging, and there are many excellent forging masters in the clan. The weapons or armors they forge are very popular in the underground world.

Most of the latter are good at fine mechanical craftsmanship.

However, the dwarves and the dwarfs, both of the stone race, had a very bad relationship. They disliked each other and often had conflicts and conflicts.

It is not difficult to imagine a dwarf running into a dwarf city and being thrown into prison.

Withdrawing his gaze, Sherman cast a questioning look at Column.

The latter did not show off, and said solemnly: "According to what this guy said, the dark elves have suddenly intensified their offensive in the past six months and captured many city-states. Now, the area within a radius of more than 300 kilometers of the Demon Spider City has fallen. into their control.”

Sherman and Atil suddenly frowned.

As early as a few years ago, they knew about the news that Demon Spider City sent troops to attack surrounding city-states.

Although I was a little surprised that the Dark Elves did not fight among themselves and instead united together, but at that time, the Demon Spider City was still far away from the Covenant, and the troops sent out were only a small matter, so the Covenant did not pay much attention.

But he didn't expect that the territory of Demon Spider City had expanded to this extent.

According to this, they are not far from the territory of Demon Spider City now. If they go more than a hundred kilometers further, they may collide with the army of Demon Spider City.

Xie Man frowned in confusion and said: "Demon Spider City should not have enough power to take over so much territory. What happened?"

Colen glanced at the dwarf and whispered: "According to this guy, it's because the dark elves have mastered a very powerful monster, and they defeated their city-state's army with just one monster!"

monster?

Sherman's mind quickly flashed through the strange beasts that the dark elves usually raised, but none of them were so powerful.

Frowning, he turned around and came to the dwarf, looking at him condescendingly.

"What do those monsters you see look like?"

Seeing that the person asking was of high status, the dwarf did not dare to hide it, swallowed and stammered:

"It, their lower body is a spider, and their upper body looks exactly like a dark elf. They are very fast. Many of my tribesmen didn't even see their movements clearly, and they were beheaded!"

As if recalling the scene at that time, the dwarf couldn't help but show fear on his face.

A half-human, half-spider monster?

Sherman frowned and thought for a moment, still having no clue.

Adil was equally confused.

"Forget it, let's write this down in the battle report. If you are a teacher, you should know what kind of creature it is."

With a calculation in his mind, Sherman ignored the dwarf and turned to Column and said: "Captain Column, I think we need to send more scouts to explore the situation ahead."

"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away!" Coren nodded heavily.

If it is true as this dwarf said, they may have to face a powerful enemy in the next battle.

Before that, only by mastering as much intelligence as possible can we better deal with the next war.

After Coren left with the dwarf, Sherman and Atil returned to the study.

After tearing up the previous battle report, Sherman thought for a while, and then started writing a new battle report when he felt confident.

This time, Adil didn't interrupt anymore. He sat quietly and waited patiently for Sherman to finish writing the battle report and seal it up before speaking.

"Do you need to call for help?"

Sherman thought for a while, nodded and said: "I heard from Carolina that the teacher has recently refined a powerful high-level puppet, which has just been prepared to be put on the battlefield. Just in case, I'd better write an application for one." Bar."

Judging from the words of the dwarf, the strength level of the half-human, half-spider monster is at least a fourth-ring legend, or even higher. And among the golem legions on the front line, the strongest puppet is only a three-ring legendary adamantine golem.

Although it is possible to use human sea tactics to deal with that kind of monster, for safety reasons, Sherman felt that he still had to be prepared.

Seeing that Sherman had thought everything over, Adil said no more.

I'm so dizzy, I forgot the chapter name and can't modify it.
