The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 171 The Knight's Might
Chapter 171

"Attention all directions! Be careful! A high-energy object has been detected rapidly approaching!"

The squad leader's voice suddenly rang out on the communication channel, his tone unusually solemn, revealing a hint of vigilance and tension.

Upon hearing this, Lynn and the others looked through their detectors and quickly discovered the astonishing sight:

A knight clad in silver armor rode a warhorse with fluttering wings and shimmering light, galloping toward them at an astonishing speed.

His speed was in no way inferior to the stealth aircraft they were piloting!
What's even more chilling is that as he moved forward, a terrifying aura kept emanating from his body, as if the entire space was being stirred up by his power, and the air was subtly distorted!

Such a terrifying existence was directly detected by the team leader's energy detector.

"Judging from the level of the gods, this person has most likely reached the fifth ring or higher..."

However, before the squad leader could finish speaking, the energy fluctuations on the detector suddenly surged, and his previously calm tone instantly became urgent and horrified.

"Wait! That high-energy entity... it's actually his warhorse!"

"His aura is already approaching the critical point of the seventh ring!"

"This person is equivalent to a fully accomplished Level Two Wizard, just one step away from breaking through to Level Three Grand Wizard!"

The squad leader's voice betrayed an undisguised fear.

Even someone as battle-hardened as him couldn't help but feel a chill when faced with such a terrifying being who surpassed all of them.

After all, if the knight who charged over was only at the fifth level, he would at most be equivalent to a strong early-stage second-level wizard.

Their team naturally didn't need to worry about safety, because they maintained a relatively safe distance, so there was a high probability that they could escape safely.

However, if that knight is a powerful expert at the seventh ring level, then it's a completely different story!

Moreover, the warhorse beneath him was actually a fifth-ring level warhorse, belonging to the second-level wizard level, which was definitely much faster than the flying vehicle they were riding!

"Retreat! Complete retreat!"

The squad leader decisively gave the order, and before any plan could even be formulated, the entire squad immediately went into emergency evacuation mode!
Therefore, the squad leader was very nervous and anxious, and his words were filled with fear.

Even through the communication channel, Lynn could still imagine his pale and weak appearance at that moment.

"They're being evacuated in batches; he's all alone!"

As soon as the squad leader gave the final order, the entire assault squad instantly entered tactical retreat mode!

The eight team members immediately ceased their attack, started their aircraft at full speed, and activated the highest power stealth mode.

"Om..."

The eight stealth aircraft increased their speed almost instantly, scattering like meteors and flying in all directions at extremely high speeds!

However, the knight riding the winged warhorse remained indifferent as he watched the flying vehicles scatter and flee.

He snorted softly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Trying to run? Do you think you can escape?"

Before he finished speaking, he slowly drew a bow from behind his back.

The bow was entirely crimson red, as if it had been forged from scorching magma. It trembled slightly in the air, releasing terrifying fiery energy!
"Hey!"

As his fingers touched the bowstring, an arrow burning with flames spontaneously materialized in the air.

The arrow seemed to be born from the flames of hell, and the intense heat caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

The next instant, the knight's gaze sharpened slightly as he locked onto a flying machine that was speeding away at full speed. His arm suddenly sank, drawing back the bow with renewed strength!

"Buzz!"

The bowstring was pulled taut in an instant, and the entire bow burst forth with a dazzling scarlet light. The air itself seemed to tremble as it was compressed by the powerful pull!
Next!

"call out!!"

The crimson arrow, like a burning meteor, transformed into a dazzling red lightning bolt, tearing through the air and leaving a trail of scorching flames as it shot straight toward the fleeing aircraft!

Its speed was so fast that it covered thousands of meters in an instant, heading straight for the aircraft!

Upon seeing this, the wizard inside the aircraft turned pale with fright and frantically pushed the control stick, trying to accelerate and escape the terrifying arrow!

However, no matter how fast an aircraft is, how can it outrun a crimson lightning bolt?!

"boom!!"

The next moment, the arrow struck the aircraft, and a violent explosion suddenly burst forth in the sky like a crimson sun!

At the epicenter of the explosion, a blazing crimson storm surged and spread, like a raging fire tide, instantly engulfing the entire aircraft!

If the temperature in the storm were converted to the energy standards of the Wizarding World, the outer perimeter would be over 200 degrees Celsius, while the core area would be close to 300 degrees Celsius!

This terrifying power is comparable to the full-force attack of a second-level wizard, not to mention that the wizard inside is merely a first-level wizard!
He didn't even have time to let out a scream before he was completely annihilated in the crimson storm, leaving not even a trace behind!

"One."

The knight spoke indifferently, as if he had merely crushed an ant, his gaze as cold as a blade, utterly devoid of emotion.

However, he did not stop.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

One arrow, two arrows, three arrows!
His warhorse continued to gallop through the air at high speed, while his bow continued to be drawn and drawn.

Arrows burning with intense flames were fired in succession, transforming into merciless scythes of death, sweeping through a storm of death, and striking the scattered and fleeing aircraft one by one.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Every hit is a devastating explosion!

Each rising storm of fire represents the annihilation of a wizard's life.

There is only one fate for these aircraft: destruction and loss of life!
Among the distant army of goddesses...

On the other side of the battlefield, the massive and mysterious Fire Knights stood in formation, their chilling aura filling the air.

Standing in the center is Cindy, the leader of the Knights Order and a ninth-level knight!

Beside him, several high-ranking knights clad in crimson-gold armor were also intently watching the hunting scene on the battlefield.

One of the level eight knights, gazing at the figure with astonishing archery skills, couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Lord Cindy, your disciple Fao's archery skills are simply impeccable! I'm afraid that within the entire Knights, only you can surpass him!"

The other knight nodded slightly, his tone wistful:

“Yes, Fao’s talent is astonishing. Given time, it probably won’t be long before he surpasses us ‘old guys’.”

Faced with everyone's compliments, Cindy's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, clearly indicating that she was in a very pleasant mood.

"Fao... is destined to be extraordinary."

He gazed at his disciple on the battlefield, whose figure was sharp and whose archery skills were superb, and a deep sense of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

From the moment he accepted Fao as his disciple, he knew that this disciple was extraordinary and even had the potential to embark on the true 'path to godhood'!
This is why Fao's status within the Knights far surpasses that of his peers; he even enjoys special permission to leave the Order at will, without any constraints.

Of the assault team, only two aircraft remain safe.

One of the two aircraft belonged to the squad leader, and the other was Lynn's personal aircraft.

However, the reasons they survived were quite different.

The captain's aircraft has a more advanced design, especially in terms of speed bursts, which far surpasses ordinary models.

The moment the battle broke out, his aircraft accelerated instantly, overtaking the other team members and creating a safe distance, thus avoiding becoming the enemy's primary target.

Lynn's flying vehicle was no different from the other team members', and was even relatively simpler.

This aircraft was a "raw" one that he had just received from the war fortress and had not undergone any additional modifications, while the other team members' aircraft had mostly been enhanced to varying degrees.

Even so, he still survived.

The reason is simple: from the very beginning, he never got too close to the main force of the goddess army.

While the other team members maintained a safe distance of ten kilometers, Lynn maintained a full fifteen kilometers!
Even though almost 90% of his attacks failed to cause effective damage, he didn't care.

Anyway, those high-ranking wizards had already evacuated in the war fortress, and no one would come to punish him for his "cautious behavior".

Perhaps some of the brave team members who fought earlier were dissatisfied with his "caution" and even secretly cursed him as a "coward".

But as it turns out, only the living have the right to think about the future.

Now, all those brave team members who charged forward have died in battle, and not even their bodies have been left behind.

Lynn, on the other hand, immediately pushed the control stick of the aircraft and rushed backward like a whirlwind!

"On the battlefield, a level one wizard is practically the lowest-ranking unit..."

Lynn gripped the joystick tightly, his eyes coldly fixed on the distant firelight, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"In a large-scale battle, it would be good if one out of ten level one wizards survived."

He adjusted the angle of his aircraft, accelerated to full speed, and sped along the planned retreat route.

Their assault team originally consisted of eight level-one wizards, but now, six of them have been killed in battle, a shockingly high loss rate!

Moreover, this is just a small-scale conflict, not even a real all-out war!
"One can only imagine how horrific the massacre will be when the real 'day of war' arrives..."

Of course, there are more than just first-level wizards on the battlefield.

The weaker wizard apprentices, and even the mechanical golems, were the real "battlefield trash," treated as disposable items with no hope of survival.

But in Lynn's view, a first-level wizard was at least a human being and could still fight to the death.

Wizard apprentices and mechanical puppets, in a sense, aren't even "human"; they're just cannon fodder, expendable resources that can be replenished indefinitely...

"The living conditions of dark wizards are unsafe for the weak, but the situation isn't much better for white wizards..."

Looking at the battlefield behind him and at the destroyed aircraft, Lynn reaffirmed his belief.

Only strength can guarantee survival.

Whether in the realm of dark wizards or the realm of white wizards, the fate of the weak remains unchanged.

No matter where they go, they are just fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will and devoured on the battlefield.

At that critical moment, a cold voice came from behind Lynn, like a vengeful ghost, piercing his ear.

"The...last one..."

The voice was in a wizarding language, but it sounded stiff and halting, clearly indicating that the speaker was not proficient in this language.

But Lynn already knew who the voice belonged to.

That terrifying knight riding a warhorse, a seventh-ring level warrior!
Hearing this chilling whisper, Lynn felt a sudden coldness run down his spine.

The fate of the assault team is already decided; now, he's the only one left!
His heart sank, but he had no intention of surrendering.

Seven Ring Knight?

It's really scary.

For the other members of the assault team, facing such an enemy was almost a death sentence.

But for Lynn, it might not be the case!

Before the Azure Sky Spirit replenished its faith power, he was already able to briefly unleash the power of a level three archmage.

Now, the Spirit of the Azure Sky has obtained enough faith power, and his trump card has been enhanced once again!

Let alone a seventh-ring knight, even a ninth-ring knight, as long as the other party has not yet stepped into the legendary realm and has not yet come into contact with that mysterious and unpredictable divine realm.

Lynn has one chance to deliver a fatal blow!

After the attack, whether they live or die remains to be seen!
We can't do it here...

Lynn's gaze darkened slightly as he instantly weighed the situation in his mind.

"We're too close to the army of goddesses here..."

He was currently using the Azure Sky Spirit to suppress his blasphemous aura. Once he used the Azure Sky Spirit, this aura would inevitably leak out.

In this way, the entire army of goddesses will be alarmed!
At that time, the legendary mage in the heavens would probably not mind taking action himself and directly annihilating this blasphemer!
Therefore, we must keep our distance!

At the very least, we need to get away from this battlefield...

However, just as Lynn was pondering this, a crisis suddenly struck!
The knight's figure suddenly moved.

Bend the bow and nock the arrow!
Whoosh!
A crimson arrow suddenly shot out from the sky, sweeping over like lightning, heading straight for Lynn's aircraft!
Before the arrow even arrived, the surrounding air was already completely distorted by the intense heat, like a falling meteor, ready to strike.

The only outcome was that the plane crashed and everyone on board died!

Lynn's gaze suddenly turned cold, without the slightest hesitation!

He suddenly opened the aircraft hatch, and at the same time...

Starfall Shoes, activate!
These combat boots, meticulously crafted by the Warhammer Masters of the Mechanical City, have finally been put to use in battle for the first time!
The Starfall Shoes have three energy storages. Each release will greatly increase the wearer's speed, making them as fast as a shooting star!
hum! ! !
In an instant, starlight burst forth!

Lynn's figure transformed into a dazzling streak of light, instantly detaching from the aircraft!
Boom! ! !

The next moment, the crimson arrow struck the aircraft with a deafening roar!
A violent explosion erupted in the sky, with flames and shockwaves sweeping in all directions, instantly unleashing a massive crimson storm!

In the distance, the knight Fao's eyes narrowed as he coldly watched the aftershocks of the explosion.

But he quickly realized something was wrong!
Through the flames of the explosion, he could clearly see that the wizard inside the aircraft had not been killed!

Instead, he transformed into a streak of starlight and fled at lightning speed!
"No prey that Lord Fao has his eye on can escape!"

He snorted coldly and spurred his warhorse with his legs!
thump!

The warhorse, seemingly possessed, suddenly spread its wings, carrying a storm-like airflow, and its speed increased dramatically once again!

Fao rode off on horseback, chasing after Lynn!

Soon, the two figures disappeared completely from the sight of the goddess army, disappearing into a more distant place...
