"Captain, the Evil Knight took away the miners!" An elite wizard named Brent yelled as he found more clues while he was searching for the traces left behind by Abel.
"Damn, Wizard Beecham is too greedy. This is the second line of the battlefield. The Wizard Union is forbidden to send miners here!" Wizard Hogg lowered his voice.
In the past, there were miners mining in the second line of the mines, but the non-diamond ones were the reason why the Holy Knight attacked them. They wanted to take them back to the Evil Kingdom to replenish their population and attack the wizards guarding them.
Therefore, in order to reduce the death rate of miners and to reduce the attention of the Evil Kingdom, the Wizard Union no longer allowed miners to mine gems.
Wizard Lamo shook his head, "Captain, I don't think Wizard Beecham was attacked because of us. It's their own fault."
After years of research, the Wizard Union knew that the power of the Holy Knight came from their god. The power of a god came from faith, and the more people there were, the more faith there would be.
Population was power to the Evil Kingdom, and this was why they were so crazy about taking people away.
In order to prevent the Evil Kingdom from taking people away, the Wizard Union divided the battlefield into the first line, the second line, the third line, and the long-range battlefield.
The first line was the most dangerous place. You had to be ready to fight at any time. It was also the most important place of defense for the Wizard Union. They had set up the strongest defense line there to defend against direct attacks from the Evil Kingdom.
The second line was a little further away from the Evil Kingdom. Basically, the Wizard Union had evacuated all the people there, but some resources couldn't be moved, so they needed to be protected.
In the past, they only needed to protect the diamond-producing gemstone mines. However, as the number of wizard circles and magic items in the Holy Knight's hands increased, other gemstone mines became their target as well.
The second line of battle required the Evil Kingdom to open a portal, and the portal could only withstand 10 elite holy knights. Normally, they wouldn't use extreme teleportation because it would consume a lot of faith power. Like when the third team was attacked, 10 elite holy knights appeared. That was why the team was shocked.
The third line of the battlefield was a little further away from the Evil Kingdom. Since it was very big, they couldn't evacuate everyone. There were many elite wizards guarding the cities in the third line of the battlefield.
The Evil Kingdom could only come through teleportation doors, but the teleportation doors had a much lower capacity. Only three advanced holy knights could pass through. Of course, this was also the limit. If three advanced holy knights were sent through, there was a chance that the teleportation doors would become unstable, and it would consume a lot of faith power.
On the other hand, the long-range battlefield was much larger. The Wizard Union couldn't determine the furthest distance, but they did find out that the Evil Kingdom would only open a portal in a big city, not in a less populated city.
As such, every large city had at least one or more advanced Wizards guarding it. With the addition of other professions, the defense was quite good, and the Evil Kingdom was rarely able to succeed.
The fire gemstone mine had suffered a huge loss this time. Since the magic circle base was destroyed, it would take at least a month to repair. On top of that, Wizard Beecham and his team would be punished by the Wizard Union for what they did.
After a while, the elite wizard in charge of the inspection had finished checking the entire camp and listed out the losses.
"Everyone in the team, come here. Code 1!" Wizard Hogg's power of the will suddenly connected to all the elite wizards in the third team.
Code 1 was the most dangerous signal. It was an emergency defense signal. It meant a very powerful enemy had appeared.
There was only one possibility for Wizard Hogg to use this codename, and that was if there was a rank 20 wizard nearby.
Abel and the other elite wizards flashed to WIzard Hogg's side and formed a defensive formation.
Abel couldn't blend in, so he could only stay on the side and carefully scan the surroundings with his senses.
However, he couldn't sense any danger with his power of the will or his Head Knight's intuition. At the same time, he knew Wizard Hogg wouldn't joke about something like this.
"Captain, what did you find?" Wizard Lamo asked with a serious face.
"There's something wrong with this place. I can feel a scary suppression. I can't operate my wizard crystal body!" Wizard Hogg said with a serious face.
Wizard Lamo knew Wizard Hogg's true power. Wizard Hogg was already at the peak of rank 20. As long as he could control the power of law, he could become a law-defying wizard.
Of course, this was not an easy process. There was only one law-defying wizard out of 100 rank 20 wizards, so most of them were stuck at rank 20.
Everyone who could become a rank 20 wizard was a true genius among wizards. Their wizard core condensation rate had almost reached the limit of what wizards could achieve. Just this point alone made them incomparable to ordinary elite wizards.
If Wizard Hogg's wizard crystal body was being suppressed, it must be a law-defying wizard.
"We are the third team of the lightning clan. We are on a support mission from the Wizard Union. May I know who is here?" Wizard Hogg yelled.
His voice exploded in the air. He knew in his heart that this must be an enemy law-defying wizard. Otherwise, he wouldn't be suppressed like this.
"Hehe!" An owl-like laughter emerged. Although no words were spoken, Wizard Hogg's face changed.
"We are in trouble. This is a veteran law-defying wizard. Everyone, I will go and stall him. Everyone, run. Don't hesitate!" Wizard Hogg said softly.
Wizard Hogg knew a lot about law-defying wizards compared to the other elite wizards in the team. The voice did not sound like a human, so it was obvious that this was a veteran law-defying wizard who had lived for countless years.
Law-defying wizards also had a lifespan, but they could use some methods to extend their lifespan. There were many ways, some of which were very scary.
The most famous was the use of priests' research on death to replace some parts of the body with dead spirits, or the dwarf race's puppet technology to replace a part of the body with a puppet, or a part of the body of a spirit beast to replace one's own body, etc.
In short, law-defying wizards had come up with all kinds of methods to survive. According to the legends, as long as a law-defying wizard kept training, they could reconstruct their body at some point in the future. No matter how many modifications they went through, they could still have a human body and become even stronger.
It was because of this legend that law-defying wizards were willing to do anything to survive. Today, they were facing a veteran law-defying wizard.
"Captain, if you want to fight, let's fight together. We lightning clan have never abandoned our comrades!" Wizard Lamo lowered his voice. Everyone in the team had a determined look in their eyes.
Wizard Hogg yelled, "Nonsense! As long as you can escape, the lightning clan's law-defying wizards will avenge me. If we all die here, who can let the organization know about this?"
"Wizard Hogg, I want Wizard Abel to stay. The rest of you, get out!" The hidden law-defying wizard spoke. It sounded like sandpaper rubbing against wood.
"Sir, why are you doing this to a rank 16 wizard?" Wizard Hogg yelled.
"I don't want to offend the lightning clan, but if you don't leave, don't blame me for being cruel!" The law-defying wizard spoke again, but it seemed like his patience was running out.
"Captain, you guys go first!" Abel lowered his voice.
"Shut up, you are a member of the lightning clan. You are a wizard of the third team. Even if we all die, we will not leave you behind!" Wizard Hogg yelled.
"Let's fight, I've never fought a law-defying wizard before!" Wizard Lamo tightened his grip on his magic staff and lowered his voice.
Although the other elite wizards in the team were nervous, no one raised any objections. At their level, especially with the Lightning clan's inheritance, they all knew that it would be hard for them to level up in the future if they were to go against their conscience and escape from this place.
The lightning clan was different from the ice and fire clans. Without an indomitable spirit, they would not be able to level up. This was why the atmosphere in the lightning clan was so good.
If they lost the hope of leveling up, they would rather die.
Abel looked at Wizard Hogg and the other members of the team. These wizards had fought for him when he didn't know them, but they were still so determined in the face of a powerful enemy.
He didn't want to drag these new friends and brothers down with him. He scanned his power of the will and put all his important items into the Hradik cube on his right arm.
No matter if it was the transformation necklace, the monster ring, or the equipment on him, he couldn't let anyone else take them. If they did, they could greatly increase the power of his enemies.
He didn't know what would happen to the Hradik cube if he was killed, but the safest place for him right now was the Hradik cube.
He only had 2 portal bags on his waist. The other elite wizards didn't see what he did with his power of the will. Even that law-defying wizard didn't expect him to be thinking about his stuff at a time like this.
In that law-defying wizard's mind, as long as Abel didn't run away, everything that Abel had would be his.
"Captain, everyone, if I can survive this, I'll see you again!" After that, he turned into a flash of white light and left the team.
"Wizard Abel!" Wizard Hogg screamed. He knew Abel wasn't running away by himself. Abel wanted to trade his life for the lives of all the wizards in the team.
Abel was already running at full power. 500 meters was the maximum range of his power of the will. Every time he flashed, he could cover 500 meters.
He was also wondering why that law-defying wizard didn't chase after him.
Within a minute, he had already fled several dozen miles away. This was already an insane speed. Just as he was rejoicing over his safety, an overwhelming suppressive force came from all directions.
Under this pressure, the "instantaneous movement" spell pattern in his hand could no longer summon any mana from his wizard core. Like a bubble, the "instantaneous movement" spell pattern turned into starlight and disappeared.
"Hello, Wizard Abel. I'm Wizard Malon from the Blizzard clan." A wizard in gray robes flashed in front of Abel. His voice was sharp, but it was very elegant.
"The Blizzard clan!" Abel was shocked. He had a lot of bad blood with the Blizzard clan. His destruction of Frost City had caused them a lot of damage.
Abel calmed himself down a little, "My grudge with the Blizzard clan has been resolved through the wizard war, Mr. Wizard Malon. Aren't you afraid of the lightning clan's revenge?"
"Wizard Abel, do you know what the Blizzard clan is to me? The Blizzard clan is my training resource provider. Now that I've found a better one, I don't care if the Blizzard clan is destroyed. "Wizard Malon didn't seem to care.
Abel felt a lot of pressure when facing Wizard Malon. Wizard Malon's face was frozen. When he spoke, his mouth didn't even move. It was almost like his face was a mask.
"Wizard Abel, don't you want to know who the resource provider is?" Wizard Malon seemed to be a little talkative. It seemed like he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time.
Abel was only thinking about how to get out of this place. He didn't think about anything else.
There were a few "instantaneous movement" scrolls in his portal bag, but he couldn't even use his mana. Even if he did, he knew that he wouldn't be able to escape from Wizard Malon's pursuit.
