The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 206 Good news, Sunan is not here

Starlight calendar year 1280, autumn month (October).

The weather gradually became a bit bleak and cool.

However, there was a tense situation on the Sal Plain, and gloomy dark clouds shrouded the plains, as if indicating that the war was about to break out.

Looking down from a high altitude, the formerly empty plains have been occupied by armies all over the mountains and plains.

The two sides were facing each other several kilometers apart. The solemn and solemn atmosphere had already scared away all the animals within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

War is about to break out.

Inside the Northwest Alliance military camp, on a slope.

A group of senior leaders of the coalition looked at the elite imperial army in the distance, and from time to time someone discussed in a low voice.

The coalition commander Edith Thurman, who was standing at the front, put down the telescope in his hand and frowned.

After the actual war broke out with the Fanxing Empire, he truly realized the terrifying military power of this huge empire that conquered the southeastern region.

The army led by the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment and the Golem Legion defeated the coalition forces on the frontal battlefield.

If Fakado and others had not implemented beheading tactics many times, disrupting the strategic plan of the Starry Empire army, the coalition forces would have been defeated long ago.

But even so, in the battles so far, the coalition forces have lost more and won less.

If this continues, the situation will only become increasingly unfavorable to the coalition forces.

Thinking of this, Eddie couldn't help but sigh.

It would be great if the coalition forces also had a wizard apprentice who was good at making puppets.

Although third-level wizard apprentices are powerful and can even influence the outcome of a small-scale war, their role is very limited in a very large-scale war that affects the entire continent.

Unless he is like Sunan, who can single-handedly build a powerful army of golems.

Eddies sometimes couldn't understand that the Russell family had a rich heritage and had not produced such a powerful wizard in thousands of years. How could the Southeast Region give birth to such a great person?

After a moment, Eddies sighed secretly, gathered his thoughts and turned to leave.

No matter what, today's war is crucial and we must win.

Otherwise, once the imperial army rushes through the Saar Plain, the next three thousand kilometers will be a smooth road with no natural dangers and it will be difficult to defend.

By then, the coalition's situation will only become more difficult.

Returning to the central tent, the large tent was already full of people.

On the left are military representatives from various countries, and on the right are the third-level wizard apprentices headed by Facardo Russell.

There are a total of twenty-five third-level wizard apprentices. It can be said that more than 80% of the third-level wizard apprentices in the Northwest Territory are here.

Edith first nodded slightly to the wizard apprentices to show respect, then came to sit down at the head, looked around, and when he saw that everyone was here, he signaled with his eyes to his deputies to start the combat meeting.

"Preliminary estimates indicate that the Starry Empire has as many as one million troops in the Saar Plain, including a 20,000-strong Black Rock Cavalry Regiment and 10,000 stone golems."

The first words the adjutant spoke made everyone change their colors slightly.

A low breathing sound suddenly sounded in the camp.

"One million troops? The Starry Empire has increased its army again?"

"The number of troops in the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment has also increased, to 20,000. This is equivalent to 200,000 regular regiments!"

"Those 10,000 stone golems are even more troublesome. These puppets are not afraid of death and are too difficult to deal with on a frontal battlefield."

Eddies seemed to have expected this situation. He said quiet and suppressed the discussion in the camp.

Being able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he still has some prestige among the generals of various countries.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Eddies signaled the adjutant to continue the report.

"The commander-in-chief responsible for commanding this war is the Duke of Braid, in addition to the Marquis of Jordan, the Marquis of Staley, the Earl of Lange, and the Earl of Crook."

The more the generals heard, the uglier their faces became.

These people mentioned by the adjutant were basically the confidants of Emperor Fanxing during the uprising. They had followed Emperor Fanxing since the beginning of the small Black Rock City and developed all the way to the current Empire of Fanxing.

It can be said that each of these people are experienced and powerful generals with great reputation.

Now they are all gathered on the Saar Plain, which shows how seriously the Starry Empire takes this war.

And the more this happens, the smaller they feel that their chances of winning are slimmer.

After patiently waiting for the adjutant to finish speaking, Eddies spoke calmly.

"I believe everyone knows the strategic significance of the Saar Plain. We can only win this war but not lose it."

After just saying this, Eddie turned to Facardo and asked: "Your Excellency Facardo, what do you think?"

Eddies knew very well that the key to whether the coalition could win this war did not lie in the generals present and the troops under their command.

With both military strength and morale at a disadvantage, the coalition's chances of winning through head-on combat alone were extremely slim.

The only hope of winning the war ultimately falls on Facardo and others.

Facardo is over a hundred years old this year, but he looks no different from a young man in his thirties. He has a fair complexion and slender fingers. It can be seen that he is usually pampered.

Facing Eddie's inquiry, he smiled slightly and said:

"The powerful generals of the Starry Empire have gathered on the Thrall Plains. This is actually a good thing for us, isn't it?"

"As long as we take this opportunity to kill them all, without a leader, the imperial army will inevitably collapse and fall into chaos for a long time. Then it will be a good opportunity for the coalition forces to counterattack."

Fakado's words made all the generals' eyes brighten and they nodded repeatedly.

Edith was not dazzled by the excitement, and said in a solemn tone: "We have assassinated imperial generals many times before. The other party must have taken precautions. Duke Brad and others must have been heavily guarded. If we carry out the assassination now, the probability of success will be I’m afraid it’s not high.”

"indeed."

Faced with Eddies' doubts, Facardo was not angry at all. Instead, he nodded in agreement and immediately changed the subject.

"So we don't plan to attack the military camp at night. Instead, after the war breaks out, we will go around to the rear and directly raid the imperial military camp. That's when the defense around Duke Brad and others is the weakest."

Eddies was slightly startled and fell into deep thought.

When the two sides are fighting, the plan to raid the enemy's barracks from behind may seem like a fantasy, but when the implementers become a group of wizard apprentices, it has the possibility of success.

With the strength of Fakado and others, they can quietly reach the rear of the imperial military camp and launch a brazen raid.

At that time, most of the empire's troops were on the battlefield, and the defenses around them were definitely not as tight as usual.

The probability of success is at least higher than conducting a night attack after the empire is prepared.

"There is one more question." Eddies looked solemn, "What if Sunan comes too?"

"cough."

Carlyle, who was sitting next to Facardo, coughed lightly and took over. He was the most senior and strongest among the wizard apprentices present except Facardo.

"In the past four months when we were at war with the Star Empire, Sunan has not shown up. This is probably the case now. He may not care about the war between the Star Empire and the coalition forces."

Eddies frowned slightly, but did not refute Carlyle's words.

According to the intelligence they collected, Sunan did not personally take action during the war for the Starry Empire to unify the southeastern region.

"Besides, even if Sunan appears here, we are not without the strength to fight." Carlyle said this and glanced at Facardo.

They have a total of twenty-five third-level wizard apprentices. In terms of overall strength, they are much stronger than the original Parliament of Truth.

What's more, Fakado also has a witchcraft inherited from the Russell family.

Although it is a witchcraft that has been passed down for thousands of years and has been partially damaged so that its power has been greatly reduced, it is still a powerful weapon that far exceeds the low-level magic items.

This is the only one in the entire Starlight Continent!

With this trump card, it would be fine if Sunan didn't show up. Once he showed up, they would definitely give the other party a big surprise.

Seeing that Facardo, Carlyle and others all looked confident, Eddies nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, a low horn sound suddenly came from outside.

Eddies looked solemn and immediately stood up and walked out of the tent.

A soldier quickly ran over and reported: "Sir, the army of the Starry Empire is dispatched!"

Edith's eyes narrowed and he issued an order in a deep voice.

"Get ready to fight!"

He immediately turned around and bowed slightly to Facardo and others who came out, and said solemnly:

"Please, everyone!"

Facardo smiled slightly: "Your Excellency Eddies, just wait for our good news."

As the armies of both sides began to move, the Sal Plain suddenly became lively.

With the Stone Golem Legion as the vanguard, the infantry in the center, the archers at the back, and the Black Rock Cavalry regiment guarding the two wings, waiting for the opportunity to move, the powerful and elite imperial army was like an ancient behemoth, marching slowly but firmly towards the enemy.

The soaring military energy dispersed the gloomy clouds in the sky, tearing a huge gap.

Watching this scene from a distance, there was a slight commotion among the coalition troops who had just formed their array.

Although it calmed down quickly, it is enough to illustrate the fear of the coalition forces when facing the imperial army.

Eddie's heart became heavier when he saw this.

Now we can only hope that the assassination operation by Facardo and others will be a perfect success, so that the coalition still has hope of winning, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Taking a deep breath, Eddie dispelled unnecessary thoughts and said in a deep voice:

"March!"

"March!"

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and the coalition troops quickly began to move slowly, faster and faster.

Viewed from a high altitude, the two armies were like a torrent that was gradually accelerating, and finally collided fiercely in the center of the plain.

In an instant, a dazzling crimson burst out from the center of the impact, followed by ear-splitting shouts of death and screams that turned into billowing sound waves that resounded over the plains!

The stone golems waved their iron fists and smashed each enemy into pieces, including their armor and body, like giant beasts rampaging through the enemy army.

The coalition forces often have to pay more than ten times the casualties of the stone golem to destroy a stone golem.

In the center of the most intense battlefield, the casualties of the stone golems were increasing at an alarming rate, but no matter how many stone golems fell, these puppets showed no signs of retreating.

They have no fear, just like cold machines killing enemies one after another.

Just like what has happened many times in the past, facing this kind of enemy who is not afraid of death or injury, the coalition's forwards are retreating under huge psychological pressure, and there is a faint trend of collapse as the casualties increase.

Seeing this, Eddis promptly dispatched the war supervisors to press forward. After killing more than a dozen retreating soldiers, he finally stabilized the formation.

The rear army immediately pressed forward, and the cavalry legions also rushed out from both wings, hoping to harass the imperial army and relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

But as soon as the cavalry regiment rushed out, they faced the more powerful Black Rock Cavalry Regiment.

At the same time, the Imperial infantry rear army also joined the battlefield.

The situation of the coalition forces still has not improved.

Although he had expected it, Eddie's heart sank to the bottom when he saw the situation in front of him.

He looked across the battlefield to the imperial military camp in the distance.

at the same time.

Fakado and others also came to the back of the imperial military camp and hid in a forest, looking at the densely packed camps several kilometers away.

Facardo turned to look at a man with an indifferent face and a pale, somewhat transparent complexion.

"As usual, Momir, I leave it to you."

Momir nodded without saying a word, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

A strange wave radiated from his body, spreading faintly to the distance.

After a while, Momir opened his eyes.

"How is it?" someone immediately asked impatiently.

Momir nodded expressionlessly: "We have found the location of the target. There are twelve people in total. Excluding the two hundred and twenty-three personal guards, there are a total of thirty-two puppets."

"What type of puppet?" Facardo asked.

"Two adamantine golems, five high-level steel golems, five high-level double-edged spiders, and the rest are all steel golems."

Having fought against the Fanxing Empire many times, everyone has already figured out the strength level of the empire's puppets.

Hearing this, Carlyle relaxed and said with a smile: "It's not bad. It's not difficult to break through with our strength."

Everyone showed relaxed smiles.

Among these puppets, only two adamantine golems posed some threat to them, but only a little.

"Didn't find Sunan?" Fakado asked worriedly.

Momir shook his head, hesitated, and then said: "There are three people beside those noble generals, one of whom is a woman, and the other two are wearing cloaks and their faces cannot be seen, but judging from their body shape, they should also be women."

"If Sunan is here, there is no need to hide his head and tail." Carlyle said in a relaxed tone, "I think he has no intention of interfering in this war at all."

Fakado thought the same thing.

"It's a pity. I really want to fight Sunan and see how powerful a formal wizard is."

A tall wizard apprentice laughed.

His right arm was thicker than his left arm, and its surface was covered with fine scales.

"If you really face Sunan, I'm afraid you won't be able to sustain it for a minute." A well-connected wizard apprentice joked.

Fakado coughed lightly, drew everyone's attention back, and said solemnly:

"Okay, stop talking."

"The next step is to start taking action. Our targets are the noble generals, not puppets. If we can avoid fighting, we will not fight. We will deal with the target as soon as possible and then leave, so as not to be surrounded."

Even a third-level wizard apprentice would be in danger if he was surrounded by an army.

Everyone present understood this and nodded silently.
