Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 193

Sherman was reviewing the supply list when he suddenly heard a sharp battle horn.

An enemy attack alert!

Sherman frowned, put away the list, and rushed out.

He didn’t go far before he ran into Wizard Apprentices who were hurrying towards him. The leader was Artile.

“Who’s attacking?” Sherman asked.

Artile immediately answered, “Dark Elves!”

Sherman wasn’t surprised.

The tribes and monsters around Taren City had been basically wiped out, and the only remaining enemy was the Dark Elves further ahead.

The only ones who would attack Taren City at this time would be the Dark Elves.

When Sherman and Artile reached the city wall, the battle had already begun.

Taren City was located inside a giant cave, with one side against a stone wall and three sides surrounded by city walls.

The Dark Elves were attacking from the south.

Ogre warriors clad in armor, Bear Goblins, Dog-Headed Humans, and Lizardmen surged like a tide, using retractable cloud ladders to climb the walls, wielding battering rams to smash the city gate, and with elite Minotaur troops waiting behind. However, few Dark Elves could be seen.

All the outposts outside the city had been occupied. Giant catapults were set up, hurling huge stone balls towards the city walls.

If it were the old Taren City, facing such a fierce attack, they would have been caught off guard.

However, the emotionless Magic Puppets didn’t know what fear and panic were. They calmly guarded the walls, wielding their iron fists to slaughter the enemy.

A rustling sound came from the sides of the walls, as Double-Bladed Spiders circled around, raising their sharp forelimbs and charging into the enemy army. They ripped through the enemy lines with little effort, forcing them back.

On the city wall, Sherman calmly watched the scene.

Over the past period, the Star Alliance had captured a lot of indigenous people who had escaped from the Dark Elves’ territory, and they had extracted valuable information from them through torture.

This included the Dark Elves’ warfare tactics.

Among these Dark Elf cannon fodder, only the Minotaurs were the real main force. They were brave and ferocious, far more elite than Bear Goblins and Dog-Headed Humans.

The attack was frustrated. The Ogres, Bear Goblins, and Dog-Headed Humans began to retreat. Then, a long battle horn sounded, and fully armed Minotaurs surged from the rear, charging towards the Double-Bladed Spiders.

Seeing this, Sherman decisively gave the order to open the city gates.

Compared to defending the city, the Magic Puppet Legion would undoubtedly be more advantageous in open combat.

Boom!

The city gate opened, and tall, sturdy Magic Puppets charged out, leaping over the Double-Bladed Spiders to the front line, forming a steel wall that stood firm, allowing no ground to the ferocious Minotaurs, no matter how they attacked.

Taking this opportunity, two Elite Iron Magic Puppets slowly walked forward. Light flashed from their chests, and a ball of visible distortion landed in the Minotaur ranks like a cannonball.

Crushing Sound Wave!

Buzz!

A violent sound wave erupted, transforming into a tangible shockwave that spread rapidly outwards, instantly shattering the Minotaurs within a radius of more than ten meters!

The two Elite Iron Magic Puppets continued to move, unleashing spell after spell, in a blink of an eye eliminating hundreds of Minotaurs.

Even brave Minotaurs began to fear and retreat in the face of such terrifying attacks.

Just then, a huge spider illusion suddenly shone in the distance, in the sky. Then, teams of Lizard Riders surged out from the fortresses. All the riders were wearing exquisite chain mail, without helmets, revealing their silver-white long hair and obsidian-like faces, wielding long spears.

“Dark Elves!”

Sherman’s eyes narrowed.

Finally!

This was the true elite force of the Dark Elves. Those earlier were just cannon fodder.

The Lizard Riders began to charge. They were extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, they were in the midst of the Magic Puppet Legion. Accompanied by a flash of cold light, one after another, Stone Magic Puppets were chopped to pieces by their curved swords.

Looking at this, Sherman’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Just as the intelligence mentioned, these Lizard Riders are very powerful,” Artile looked down at the battle, her eyes assessing the situation. “Each one has the fighting power of a Knight, no less than the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment of the Starlight Empire.”

The addition of the Lizard Riders immediately turned the tide. The two sides once again engaged in fierce battle.

Sherman and Artile calmly watched the situation below, without any hurry.

For the Star Alliance, Magic Puppets were just consumables.

But for Spider City, which had limited troops, each Lizard Rider was a valuable asset, and losing one would be a painful blow.

In this kind of war of attrition, it wasn’t they who should be anxious.

As expected, a horn soon sounded in the front line.

The Lizard Riders retreated like a tide.

The Magic Puppet Legion was about to pursue, when a black shadow suddenly charged out from the shadows above, moving like a ghost, passing through more than ten Magic Puppets.

In an instant, there was a series of cracking sounds. More than ten Magic Puppets were smashed to pieces almost simultaneously, falling to the ground.

Amidst the rubble, a half-human, half-spider figure stood upright.

Its upper body was a beautiful Dark Elf female, wearing a close-fitting, fine chain mail, showing off her voluptuous, alluring body curves, holding two gleaming curved swords.

Its lower body was a huge black spider body, shining with a cold metallic sheen in the fluorescent light. Its eight limbs looked sharper than the Double-Bladed Spiders.

“Spiderized Elf!”

Sherman’s expression became more serious.

This was their real enemy.

Only when he saw it with his own eyes did Sherman realize that the Spiderized Elf was even more powerful than the intelligence described.

Among the more than ten Magic Puppets that had been killed just now, there was an Elite Iron Magic Puppet.

Being able to easily kill a Second Ring Legendary-level puppet like chopping vegetables, the Spiderized Elf was clearly not an ordinary Fourth Ring Legendary creature.

Fortunately, they weren’t without trump cards.

Sherman turned to the figure standing beside him. The figure was wearing a wide, gray robe, concealing its whole body, even most of its face was hidden under the brim of the hat, leaving only a white chin visible.

To be honest, when Sherman learned that the figure was a puppet, he was quite surprised.

He had never seen a puppet that looked so much like a human being.

The puppet didn’t have the huge, hard body of the Magic Puppets, making people doubt its fighting strength.

But Sherman didn’t think much about it.

If it were just a regular puppet, why would the teacher have deployed it to be used against the Spiderized Elf?

Since it was the teacher’s arrangement, there would definitely be no problem.

“I’m counting on you!” Sherman whispered to the robed figure.

The latter nodded slightly.

The Secret Puppet, whose Soul Core was a medium-sized Soul Crystal, already possessed a basic level of intelligence.

Although it couldn’t compare to Long Lin’s Butler No. 1, it was able to receive and execute orders like a normal human and could even engage in relatively simple communication.

Whoosh!

The robe was blown off, revealing a tall, slender figure of a young girl.

She was almost 1.7 meters tall, wearing a silver scale armor that hugged her body, clearly outlining her voluptuous curves, quite attractive to the eye.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the girl jumped off the city wall.

Her falling speed slowed down in mid-air, then stopped and hovered. After a slight pause, the whole person suddenly shot up into the sky and shot forward.

The Spiderized Elf, who was slaughtering the Magic Puppets, immediately sensed the approaching threat and slashed its two swords down towards the front. With a piercing shriek, two visible black sword energies tore through the void and struck towards the incoming person.

The girl didn’t slow down. She collided head-on with the black sword energies.

The moment they touched her body, a layer of invisible force field suddenly emerged, blocking the two black sword energies.

Immediately afterwards, the girl swung back, unleashing a blue lightning bolt that struck the Spiderized Elf.

[Lightning Bolt]!

Crackle!

A dazzling electric light tore through the surrounding darkness.

Lightning snakes instantly appeared on the Spiderized Elf’s body, coiling around its skin, causing it to cry out in pain.

In the rear of the Dark Elf army, the Dark Elf leaders who saw this scene looked at each other in astonishment.

“Magic!”

“That girl is a Wizard?”

“She’s the Star Alliance’s Controller?”

It was no secret in the Underworld that the Star Alliance’s Controller was a powerful Wizard.

But the girl in front of her not only used magic, but also took a single shot to make the Spiderized Elf suffer a loss. Such powerful strength, they couldn’t think of anyone besides the Star Alliance’s Controller.

“It must be her!”

The martial arts instructor of the Lerret family, who was also the commander of this army, had a look of excitement on her face.

“I didn’t expect that the Star Alliance’s Controller would appear here. This is a good thing. As long as we kill her, the Star Alliance will surely fall into chaos, and we can take advantage of the situation to launch a massive attack!”

Other Dark Elf leaders also showed signs of joy.

Targona in the corner flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She hadn’t expected that the famous Star Alliance Controller would be such a young and beautiful girl.

However, it was said that Wizards had ways to delay aging, so one couldn’t judge their age based on appearance alone. Perhaps this girl had actually lived for hundreds of years.

As Targona was pondering, the Dark Elf leaders had already decisively pressed all their troops forward.

The Minotaur army and Lizard Riders charged forward again.

Some other Dark Elf elite warriors also sneaked into the shadows, silently approaching the battlefield.

On the city wall, Sherman, who had noticed the Dark Elves’ movements, did not hesitate to order the reserve troops to press forward.

An entire small Magic Puppet Legion was stationed in Taren City. In terms of troops, he was not at all afraid.

As more troops joined the battle, the front of the city wall soon became a chaotic battlefield.

On the ground, the Magic Puppet Legion and the Dark Elf army fought fiercely.

In the sky, the girl also clashed fiercely with the Spiderized Elf.

Colorful magical lights flashed in the sky, illuminating the surroundings like daytime.

Spell after spell poured out of the girl’s hands, with almost no pause between them, sometimes even two or three spells being released simultaneously.

“Wow!” Artile was dumbfounded.

She had seen puppets that could use magic before — such as the Elite Iron Magic Puppet and the Elite Double-Bladed Spider, which could both use a small amount of magic — but puppets like the girl who could cast spell after spell, even casting Third Ring spells, and whose casting speed was almost equivalent to a combination of spellcasting and composite casting, she had never seen before.

This was almost on par with a formal Wizard!

Sherman was equally surprised, his eyes gleaming with bright light.

He had never imagined that Puppetry could reach such a height!

This was almost equivalent to creating a living Wizard!

It was simply incredible!

“Perhaps I should spend more time studying Puppetry.”

Sherman thought silently.

The Dark Elves were shocked by the Star Alliance’s joy.

“How could this be?”

“The Spiderized Elf isn’t the opponent of that guy?”

“This is a Divine Favored created by the Goddess!”

Seeing the Spiderized Elf being gradually defeated by the girl’s attacks and soon becoming covered in wounds, the Dark Elf leaders were dumbfounded.

Previously, they had relied on the Spiderized Elf to become invincible and unstoppable, giving them great confidence.

But who would have thought that in their first encounter with the Star Alliance, they would be dealt such a heavy blow.

For a moment, the Dark Elves were somewhat panicked and confused.

Lerret’s martial arts instructor, the commander, also had a terrible look on her face.

Just then, a shrill cry came from the sky above the battlefield.

The Dark Elves looked up in astonishment. What they saw was the Spiderized Elf, trapped in the air and unable to move, surrounded by numerous serpent-like, strange runes, and a sharp, lightning-like long sword attacking!

Swoosh!

The enchanted long sword pierced the chain mail without any obstruction, sinking deeply into the Spiderized Elf’s chest. Then, it twisted with force, completely ending the Spiderized Elf’s life.

Seeing this, Lerret’s martial arts instructor’s face turned pale. She no longer hesitated and decisively gave the order to retreat.

A piercing horn sounded suddenly, and the Dark Elf army retreated in a panic, fleeing to the rear.

Sherman on the city wall saw this and decisively waved his hand. A firelight instantly flew out of his hand, soared into the sky, and exploded like fireworks, clearly visible from afar.

Tap tap tap!

A dense and rapid sound of footsteps suddenly came from the darkness around.

Immediately after, a large number of Knights suddenly charged out from the darkness.

The leader was the Dragon Antelope Knight, followed by the Magic Emblem Knight Regiment riding on Black Rock Beasts.

Countless cavalry surged like a tide from all directions, charging towards the Dark Elves like a mountain collapsing.

Considering the existence of the Spiderized Elf, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Sherman did not deploy the Magic Emblem Knight Regiment immediately. Instead, he had them hide in the flanks of the battlefield, waiting patiently. They only attacked with all their might after the Spiderized Elf was killed and the Dark Elves began to retreat.

The effect was very obvious.

The Dark Elves clearly hadn’t expected the Star Alliance to have more troops hidden. They were caught off guard, and their retreat soon turned into a rout.

Countless Dark Elf warriors were overtaken and killed by the cavalry during their retreat. Those who dared to resist were no match for the Knights equipped with Magic Emblem constructs, and were quickly slaughtered.

The Dark Elf army was utterly defeated.

After a round of pursuit, only a handful of Dark Elves managed to escape, fleeing into the darkness and disappearing without a trace.

Sherman felt a little regretful.

The dark environment of the Underworld was too advantageous for the Dark Elves. Otherwise, this should have been a perfect annihilation.

But soon, Sherman’s attention was drawn to the Spiderized Elf.

He immediately gathered his people, preparing to send the Spiderized Elf to Long Lin.

This was something the teacher had specifically instructed.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!
