Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 1307 - 1305: Taking Action

"Da da da..."

Amidst the sound of hooves, five Magic Knight Battalions bypassed the battling cavalry and charged swiftly.

This time, there will be no reinforcements; the Alliance Central Army must face them alone.

Numerous arrows were shot, completely unable to break the Magic Knights’ defense, and the heavy mechanical crossbows fired, with appallingly poor accuracy.

The military wizards couldn’t help but intervene as several figures soared into the sky to cast spells, but the next moment, hundreds of energy-charged Magic Rune Spears were collectively thrown by the Magic Knights.

"Ah!"

Amidst screams, nearly half the wizards were pierced and killed on the spot, while the remaining ones were severely injured.

The spells released at such a heavy price barely delayed the Magic Knights’ assault for a few seconds, with most of the damage easily blocked by the Magic Knights’ Magic Rune defenses.

After all, these were real Magic Knights, seasoned elite Magic Knights of the official army, and unless faced with extremely powerful wizards or a comparable number of Magic Knights, they were hard to counter.

Alright, in the end, it seems he will have to take action... 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Richard sighed lightly, stood up from the wooden platform, and stepped into the air, flying up tens of meters.

The five battalions of Magic Knights that charged in watched cautiously, their new Magic Rune Spears beginning to charge; they were ready, and as soon as Richard dared to approach, they would be thrown immediately.

However, Richard did not approach; he acted directly from his position—after all, his attack range was always quite far.

With a flip of his hand, several Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles were taken out from the Space Iron Ring and quickly activated and released.

"Whiz whiz!"

The Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles flew out.

"Boom boom!"

The Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles hit their targets, creating intense explosions and sending up columns of crimson flames that engulfed the silhouettes of many Magic Knights.

But... it was limited to this.

One could see that the Magic Knights were highly mobile, and as soon as the Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles flew out, they began to disperse cautiously. Therefore, except for a few unfortunate souls at the center of the explosion, the others were not significantly affected. Even one unlucky soul at the explosion’s center was incredibly resilient, enduring the blast without dying, though severely injured and losing combat capability.

Richard’s eyes blinked slightly, and his expression grew a bit more serious.

Indeed, he attacked with a probing mindset, using relatively weak Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles, but this result showed that the Magic Knights were truly difficult to deal with.

The Magic Knights, in a sense, were like enhanced soldiers, perfectly balanced—defense that could just withstand wizard attacks, and offense that could just break through wizard defenses.

This does not mean wizards are weaker than Magic Knights, but rather that wizards cannot easily treat Magic Knights as cannon fodder; they need to take some effort to solve them.

Handling one or two Magic Knights with some effort is possible, but if dozens, hundreds, or even more require effort—it is clearly insufficient.

Richard thought things through clearly; under the current situation, there were limited ways to quickly resolve so many Magic Knights and stabilize the Central Army.

Besides dropping a nuclear bomb to wipe out the enemy and allies alike, either at a cost, using vast amounts and powerful Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles to cleanse, or pinpoint cleansing with the more powerful Blood Spear, or relying on the Energy Furnace’s advantage for close-range slaughter.

However, these methods, for him, were a bit wasteful and troublesome, using an alternative might be better.

Then shall he try?

Richard gazed at the Magic Knights now rushing within a hundred meters of the Central Army’s defensive line, and with a thought, he acted.

He raised his hands, and simultaneously lights shone on his shoulders and wrists as four Energy Furnaces were activated.

Energy surged from within and released externally, exerting its effect; with a "whoosh," fierce winds whipped up for miles around, rushing violently towards the Sika Magic Knights.

The Sika Magic Knights were wary, guessing it was a wind element spell attack similar to Wind Blades, as orange light rapidly emanated from the armor they wore, readying for defense.

But they clearly guessed wrong; the fierce winds dissipated abruptly before them, seemingly with nothing happening.

Did really nothing happen?

The Sika Magic Knights, maintaining a scattered formation, cautiously approached the Alliance Central Army. The next moment, a cavalryman at the formation’s outermost edge suddenly felt his right arm hit something, a resistance occurred, causing him and the horse beneath him to involuntarily lean left towards the formation’s interior.

This was not an anomaly, as more and more Sika Magic Knights faced the same problem—their sides were suddenly flanked by two transparent walls, distributed in a "V" shape, forcing them to move towards the center.

Was this preparing to forcibly gather them and focus spell attacks?

What should they do?

With raised eyebrows, the Sika Magic Knight Leader quickly contemplated.

Withdrawal was clearly impossible; not only would it fail the attack mission, but it would also expose their backs and risk assault.

Slowing down and trying to bypass from the sides wasn’t ideal either, as it similarly exposed the sides, and a poorly executed order could lead to a chaotic formation.

Then the only choice was to forcibly move forward, breaking through the restricted area promptly would ensure safety.

The Sika Magic Knight Commander decided and quickly issued commands, "Maximum defense status, maximum speed, make a full charge forward!"

"Yes!"

"Shake!"

All Magic Knights responded with golden light emanating from their bodies, interweaving among them to form a dazzling Energy Shield, clearly not easily destroyed.

Then they emitted green light, spreading to the horses beneath them, boosting the horses’ speed sharply, and raced forward.

Due to the influence of the "V" shaped transparent walls, the Magic Knight formation grew increasingly dense, almost clustering together as they charged to the junction of the two walls. Their defensive energy condensed to the extreme, making them relatively unafraid of attacks.

However, the Magic Knight Commander showed no signs of relaxing, shouting, "Break through this wall ahead for me!"

"Yes!"

The Magic Knights received their orders, thrusting their Magic Rune Long Spears, fiercely channelling immense power towards the left and right transparent walls.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Magic Rune Long Spears made contact with the transparent walls, creating muffled sounds—this was the full-force strike of five hundred Magic Knights, the transparent walls were clearly unable to hold up, and began to vibrate intensely. Amidst the vibrations, blurred outlines appeared, revealing a mere two-meter-high Wind Wall, followed by a "crack" sound, seemingly snapping, and slowly toppling backward.

"Puff!"

The fallen Wind Wall appeared like a two-meter-wide trench on the ground.

The Magic Knight Commander hesitated little, glancing at Richard hovering in the air ready to cast spells, and at the frantic nearby Alliance Central Army, yelling out, "Jump over it, keep charging, trample the Alliance People!"
