Chapter 246: Chapter 150: Waiting for the Enemy to Deliver Themselves
"What are we doing next?"
Aboard the giant eagle, Yin Guang called out to Pei Ze.
Pei Ze didn’t answer, turning instead to Su Ya.
She immediately reported, "Sir, as you commanded, I have accepted as many of the assault missions on the defense works near the ambush site as possible. However, four or five had already been taken by other Wizards."
"A few less won’t matter." Pei Ze took out his Magic Map and glanced at it. "First, we’ll go to Defense Works No. 35."
Yin Guang was completely baffled. He hurriedly took out his own Magic Map to check and found that Defense Works No. 35 was just over eighty kilometers from where they were ambushed, making it the closest of the Turin People’s defense works.
"How are you so sure Maynard is there?" Yin Guang asked, puzzled.
However, Pei Ze’s answer stunned him.
"I’m not."
"Then why are you..."
Pei Ze turned to him and said calmly, "Searching everywhere for our target is too time-consuming and exhausting. The most efficient method is to make him come to us."
Yin Guang froze for a moment, but then he quickly understood Pei Ze’s plan.
Pei Ze intended to kill the Turin People everywhere they went, forcing the Witch Hunting Team to come after them.
The plan was highly feasible.
The only problem was that the person executing it had to be powerful enough, or it could easily backfire.
And Pei Ze...
Yin Guang glanced at Pei Ze, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and crushed the last shred of doubt in his heart.
’Since I’ve already decided to follow him, there’s no point in second-guessing now.’
’Let’s just do it!’
Pei Ze paid no mind to Yin Guang’s thoughts, his gaze fixed distantly on the horizon.
Over half an hour later, the silhouette of a Turin Defense Works appeared on the horizon.
Seeing that Pei Ze had no intention of slowing down or concealing their approach, Yin Guang couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Just as he was about to voice a warning, he saw Pei Ze slowly raise a hand. A mass of silvery, metallic liquid had appeared, hovering in his palm and boiling violently like water.
Before Yin Guang’s astonished eyes, the metallic liquid rapidly stretched and elongated, solidifying into a two-meter-long silver spear.
Immediately after, countless arcane runes flickering with electricity materialized from thin air, scrambling to merge into the spear.
In an instant, the spear was cloaked in a blinding layer of lightning, as if it had transformed into the legendary Mjolnir.
The next moment, with a flick of his wrist, Pei Ze hurled it. The Thunder Spear shot out like a stream of light, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom as it tore through the air toward the distant fortress.
The instant a strong energy fluctuation was detected, the fortress’s defensive shield automatically activated. A faint halo of light appeared, enveloping the entire structure.
But it was useless.
When the Thunder Spear struck the halo, scorching lightning erupted. The defensive shield was torn apart in a near-instant, disintegrating into motes of light that vanished into the air.
The lightning’s remaining power slammed into the fortress wall. A deafening RUMBLE echoed as the tall, thick wall instantly collapsed, and countless Turin Warriors were turned to charcoal as the bolt of lightning swept past.
In a single breath, more than half of the guards on the wall were wiped out.
The surviving Turin soldiers stared at the apocalyptic scene before them, their pale faces etched with utter terror.
By now, the giant eagle had arrived above the fortress wall.
Looking down at the wall, which was now a pile of ruins, Yin Guang couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath, his face a mask of profound shock.
He had heard countless times how powerful Pei Ze was, but only after witnessing it with his own eyes did he truly understand the weight behind that word.
A defensive shield that would take four or five Level 1 Wizards working together more than ten minutes to break... Pei Ze had shattered it from several kilometers away with a single, casual strike!
Not even Gao Qun, a Second-level Gasification Wizard, was capable of such power!
Beside them, Su Ya and Peng Yan watched Yin Guang’s dumbfounded expression with a strange sense of superiority.
It was usually them who were shocked by Pei Ze’s power. Today, finally, someone was even more stunned than they were.
"Enemy attack!"
"Quick, inform the Priests!"
"The enemy is above us!"
The sudden attack threw the fortress into chaos. Large numbers of Sect Knights rushed out from various buildings, hurrying toward the wall.
But when they reached the wall, what greeted them was a swarm of crows surging forward like a black torrent.
Although Wuyu hadn’t devoured any crow-type Magical Creatures recently, its power had grown in tandem with the continuous rise of Pei Ze’s Spirit level.
This was reflected in the Fog Crows, whose combat prowess was now approaching that of a Legendary Knight.
Four or five Fog Crows working together were enough to overpower a Tier One Legendary Knight head-on.
Therefore, faced with thousands of Fog Crows, the few hundred Sect Knights were utterly decimated in the first clash.
One after another, the Sect Knights fell, screaming in agony.
Even their captain, a Tier Two Legendary Knight leading this detachment of the Sect Knight Order, was torn to pieces by the relentless, fearless swarm after desperately killing a few dozen Fog Crows.
Four Winter Frost Priests who had rushed over saw this scene, and their eyes widened with fury.
"Damn you, Alien Race Wizard!"
The leading Second-Class Priest cursed through gritted teeth.
The moment the words left his mouth, a Thunder Spear tore through the air and pierced his chest. He collapsed and died, his face a mask of utter astonishment.
"Lord Morrison!"
The three remaining Winter Frost Priests’ faces turned pale with horror, and their gazes toward Pei Ze were now filled with terror.
’To kill Lord Morrison, a Second-Class Priest, in a single strike... Could this intruder be a Second-level Wizard?’
