Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

The vast army began to march out under the command mission orders.

This army had as many as fifty thousand people, among which there were enough Immortal disciples who had cultivated to the Immortal Body, numbering in the thousands. This means that this army had as many as a thousand third-level creatures.

It almost encompassed all the elite Daoists from the Family Alliance, except for a few Daoists specializing in Alchemy Dao artifacts, the rest were inefficacious individuals inferior to Samurai.

If this raid results in heavy losses, unless the Immortal Gate opens and True Immortals descend, the Family Alliance would surely fragment.

Their target on this trip was the Goblin's Thirteen Position, known as Tai Chuan to them. Although this place did not have any defensive loopholes, it was advantageous because a large river surrounded it.

With the support of this large river, whether they attacked or retreated, it would be very useful.

The Daoists formed an array, transforming into clouds and mist as they traveled in the sky. The vast energy flowed along the array, almost turning all the Daoists into a single entity.

Such an open and aboveboard action naturally drew the attention of the Goblins.

Looking at the reports returned from the front line, a group of Goblin commanders surrounded the map without speaking.

"Thirteen Position?"

"Thirteen Position."

"Is our defense very weak in this area? Are the fortifications incomplete? Or are the personnel allocations inadequate?"

"None of these."

"Seems like another smoke bomb."

The Goblin commanders always regarded their enemies with a higher level of respect, so in their anticipation, there was bound to be some inner logic to the enemy's command maneuvering.

The different levels meant that before they truly understood the enemy's level, they couldn't fully comprehend the actions of the Daoist army.

"Let's be a bit cautious. What if those guys are doing it on purpose?" a Goblin commander suddenly spoke up, "They've released so many smoke bombs and have been deliberately delaying for such a long time, maybe it's just to make us lower our guard."

"Makes sense. Let the anti-air positions fire; whether they are smoke bombs or not, we should treat them seriously, and then their strategy won't work."

The orders from the headquarters were constantly passed down, and soon, the commander of the Thirteen Position received the command.

"Direct attack? The command has finally taken action."

"Pass the order down; everyone should prepare for battle, and the anti-air cannons should open fire directly!"

The orders were issued, and the entire war zone's army began to mobilize.

The anti-air cannon positions at several formations started targeting the sky-held Daoist army, with various Alchemy Weapons adjusted to a state of readiness.

Soon, the first shot was fired.

Hundreds of Type Four Radiant Light anti-air cannons fired simultaneously, and green fluorescent Energy Level exceeding two thousand pierced through the Heavenly Vault like long spears.

Buzz!

A water wave-like ripple emerged from the huge cloud mass, and the heart of the Nine Commander-As was sharply shaken.

"Already discovered?"

Radiant Light shooting is considered Energy shooting, so as long as the hundreds of anti-air cannons do not focus on a single point, for the vast Daoist army, it is not much of a problem.

"Everyone, prepare your Rune Warrior Beans; the Outer Heaven Demon has already spotted us."

"Now, descend!"

With that, the Goblins saw the enormous cloud in the sky seeming to be pulled by some kind of suction, slowly falling to the ground.

"Such a high energy reaction?"

A front-line scout, looking at the report from the detector, was wide-eyed.

This cloud was surprisingly genuine.

The intelligence on the Daoist army was quickly reported to the headquarters, and upon receiving the news, cheers erupted from the command room.

"Haha, guessed right! Quickly mobilize the nearby troops; we definitely can't let them escape."

An old Goblin took out a long-prepared troop deployment plan. These days, they had made plans for different situations for each defense zone, just waiting for a Daoist army attack. But before they could even deliver the orders, reports from the front line were continuously being sent to the command room.

"Defense Area Three under attack."

"Defense Area Nine under attack."

"Defense Area Sixteen also under attack!"

While the Daoist army was discovered, all the previous smoke bomb armies launched an attack on the Goblin's defense line. Although the intensity seemed small, it was enough to hold back the troops in the defense zone, making them unable to be mobilized.

"Heh, knew it would be like this." An old Goblin sneered.

"Mobilize all air forces on the defense line to fully support Defense Area Eleven. Additionally, the elite squads must begin to assemble; dealing with such high-strength enemies requires strong individuals as stabilizers for the army."

Although the Goblin commander was confident in his troops, able to handle themselves even in the face of a strong offensive, most of these soldiers were new recruits, and having an insurance policy in place ensured easier management if there were any mishaps.

Orders from the general command room were transmitted, line by line, to the intended targets via crystal stone signals.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are mobilizing for this command.

At Command Zone Eleven, the goblins on the frontline are already clashing with the Daoist Army.

Rumble...

Scarlet fireballs continuously explode against the legion's shields, and the concentration of fire elements in the air begins to surge.

Nine Commanders eyes show a trace of gravity as he watches the few fortresses firing at his legion. He was present during the opening battle, and the collective fireball barrage, like a rain of fire, left a profound impression on him.

Although he doesn't know what a Fire Element Storm is, he understands that if the goblins continue to shoot unchecked, the massive sea of fire from the opening battle will reappear.

"No matter how formidable these Outer Heaven Demons are, the bunkers must be built of gold and stone. As long as they are built of gold and stone, they will certainly be affected by Earth Element Dao Technique."

With this in mind, he orders, "Use Earth Element Dao Technique to destroy those fortresses."

His voice travels along the array, reaching the forefront of the formation. A Daoist versed in Earth Element Dao Technique immediately manipulates energy and performs a mantra.

In the next instant, the fortresses suddenly light up with numerous runes.

Richard, having a wizard background, doesn't know much about the front line, but he knows the basics.

Constructing a fortress might not need any other enchantments, but enchantments for spell summoning are a must. Otherwise, a couple of Earth Element Magic spells could topple even the wizard's sturdiest fortress.

But the strength that enchantments can withstand also has limits.

Under elemental attacks comparable to those from the Wizard Army, the enchantments on the fortress quickly shatter, and soon, the fortresses begin to twist and collapse, turning into a heap of ruins.

"These Outer Heaven Demons are not that strong after all."

A low chuckle travels from the ranks of the Daoist Army, but the Commander at the center can't find it in him to laugh.

"These are obviously temporary fortresses built in a hurry, yet they held up for a moment under the simultaneous spells of so many Daoists. If we were to face those sturdy fortresses constructed by the Outer Heaven Demons, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to tear them down even if we threw everything at them."

With the war just beginning, a shadow already looms over Commander Nine's heart.

The vast army continues to advance, and they must achieve enough results in this battle to retreat. They must shatter the myth of the Outer Heaven Demons being invincible in war.

Soon, the first field unit appears.

The goblins wielding Annihilation Guns fire continuously at the Daoist Army in the distance. But the energy shields, which even a two-thousand energy level Radiant Cannon cannot penetrate, are certainly impervious to those small Annihilation Bombs. Yet...

Though they cannot penetrate, the sheer volume of Annihilation Bombs piled together causes massive consumption of the shield.

Within just a few minutes, Commander Nine feels that the array's energy has been reduced by one percent.

This is even before the Outer Heaven Demons have deployed those long-range fireball strikes.

"This won't do, we need to finish this quickly."

Commander Nine makes the decision in his heart and immediately issues a command to the legion.

"Release the Spirit Soldiers and Spirit Generals!"

Upon hearing this command, the Daoists within the army are dumbfounded. Why suddenly release the Spirit Soldiers and Spirit Generals? Seeing them hesitate, Commander Nine becomes short of breath with frustration.

"Release the Spirit Soldiers and Spirit Generals! If you don't release them, you'll just be worn down to death by them!"

Seeing Commander Nine urging them again, the Daoists of the Daoist Army reluctantly take out soldier beans from their sleeves, muttering incantations as they scatter them into the air.

The beans fly into the sky, sprouting in the next instant, and transforming into burly soldiers made of wood clad in armor. These soldiers fall beside the Daoists, guarding them like shields.

This is the Fourth Grade Dao Technique—Spirit Soldiers. This technique belongs to the military Dao techniques, seldom learned in peacetime, but after the invasion of the Outer Heaven Demons, it was distributed to every Daoist.

Although the combat strength of the Dao Technique Spirit Soldiers is not strong, a single one could be defeated by some werewolf samurais. But Spirit Soldiers are never released alone.

After performing the Spirit Soldier Dao Technique, the immortal disciples in the Daoist Army all take out a paper figure from their pockets, wielding weapons and armor.

Then, just like the summoning of Spirit Soldiers, they throw the paper figures into the sky, pinching a mantra in their hands and pointing at the figures in the sky.

In the next moment, the paper figures begin to swell and transform as if inflated, finally becoming Spirit Generals clad in magnificent armor, with a red face, tusks, and wielding a long spear.

At the moment the Spirit Generals appear, the Spirit Soldiers within the legion seem to receive a signal and immediately move towards the Spirit General.

This is the First Grade Dao Technique—Spirit General. Once a Spirit General is released, the Spirit Soldiers will automatically be commanded by the Spirit General. The combat strength of the Spirit Soldiers, led by the Spirit General, directly increases by a significant margin.

Under the immortal disciples' command, the Spirit Generals immediately lead the Spirit Soldiers through the array, launching an assault on the distant goblins.

The number of Spirit Soldiers prepared by the Dao Technique Army is not many, with each Spirit General only capable of commanding about five thousand Spirit Soldiers. Under the Spirit General's command, the Spirit Soldiers pass through the ranks of the Daoists like weaving butterflies, gathering with remarkable discipline outside the array.

The goblin army's Annihilation Bombs can easily blow a big hole in the Spirit Soldiers. But unless the Spirit Soldiers are torn apart, they won't die.

The fearless Spirit Soldiers, relying on their physical bodies, bear the brunt of the goblin army's Annihilation Shooting before their formation completes.

Tens of thousands of Spirit Soldiers turn to ashes in this process, but for the Spirit Soldier Army, death is meaningless.

At this moment, the goblin commander on the frontline finally realizes what the command center means by telling him to treat these enemies as civilization level opponents.

They are not battling a bunch of natives here; they are confronting the vassal army of the Immortal Country Civilization.
