"Calm down, General Joseph. None of us wanted to see this happen, but since it has already happened, we can only face it instead of pointing our guns at our own people."

After stopping the army general from launching further attacks, another general cleared his throat and said, "We have increased our surveillance of the coastline to ensure that no wizards are allowed to enter or leave the west coast."

"The airspace blockade is complete. Unless they can leave from an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, it is impossible for them to completely evade our detection."

"Don't forget that those wizards also have similar methods of spatial teleportation."

"Naturally, our detection mechanism has also taken into account similar possibilities, so it uses a random connection method, but that's not the point..."

The naval admiral paused slightly, turning his gaze to Ralph Taya—the Third Fleet commander who had just won a war against the wizard "fleet," but had also caused the wizards to escape, potentially leading to the premature leak of their intelligence—a situation that should have been resolved long ago.

Under the watchful eyes of many, the commander, who was expected to redeem himself through meritorious service, had no choice but to speak up: "Because the wizards have fled, it is anticipated that they will soon launch another attack on the west coast..."

"How long is 'soon'? War mobilization takes time; it's not a vague concept."

"I don't know. It could be a month, a year, or even the next second. After all, those are wizards. Even though we have done our best to study the power of wizards, it is still just an illusion."

"Let's change the subject. How did those wizards escape? Didn't they say they had complete control of the situation?"

"I think I can offer an explanation in this regard."

A researcher in a white lab coat stood up and spoke, handing out pictures to everyone: "According to sonar detection... oh, considering that this outdated detection method might be effective against the wizards, it wasn't dismantled. According to the sonar detection at the time, the wizards encountered these huge sea creatures after diving to the surface—they didn't attack the wizards, but instead protected them, then dived into the deep sea to escape the blockade from an area we couldn't detect, thus achieving a safe escape."

Then, the researcher pulled out a book, a book written in wizarding script.

"In the end, some of the records that we once thought were mythologized wizards may actually be another true description. Wizards did have the means to communicate with those huge creatures in the sea and could even control their actions to some extent."

"In other words, if we are to start a full-scale war with the wizards, then the enemies we will face will not only come from the surface of the sea, but also from the depths of the ocean."

"This is a truly terrible scene... In just the past two years, we have found traces of no less than a hundred similar large marine creatures along the eastern coast. Some of them even have a certain level of intelligence and civilization. Because they actively avoid us, we cannot communicate with them. We originally thought they could be potential allies, but now it seems they can only be potential adversaries."

The commander of the Third Fleet thought further ahead: "If we really go to war with the wizards, these underwater creatures will be the most dangerous killers."

"Perhaps we should deal with them before we go to war with the wizards?"

No one voiced their opinion, but the very absence of dissenting voices was the greatest statement of their own. Faced with the West Coast, a goldmine covering one-third of the Earth's land area, no one was willing to give it up. Whether it was the drugs that promoted the cultivation of the Knight's Breathing Technique, the wizarding system that had not yet been fully deciphered, or the various unheard-of resources that contained multiple possibilities, all of these forced people to hold this land firmly in their own hands.

At this moment, as an entity that could very well put humanity at a disadvantage in the upcoming conflict with the wizards, even though those underwater races have not shown any explicit hostility, the mere fact that they might exist as allies of the wizards is enough for Earth civilization to regard them as enemies and exterminate them prematurely.

"The first batch of submarines will be deployed in three hours, initially targeting underwater habitats near the coast."

"The fleet will operate in unison. We can't reach places that are too deep, but if those beasts just appear on the surface, the bombers will teach them a lesson... sea monsters."

"So, let's get back to the original question: when will the wizard return? And in what way will he arrive?"

People can rely on various means to destroy known opponents, just like those monsters with huge bodies. However, they dare not make any guarantees about the mysterious power of the Witch! Wu Yiqi 8VI%II Liuqi 6 Yi Ling Mengshi.

Left with no other option, the general could only suggest again: "Let's request cooperation with the 'Main God Space'. The status quo on the West Coast cannot be compromised. Even if it means paying a price in the short term, we must eliminate any potential threats on the outside, rather than allowing them to directly appear on our territory and wreak havoc."

Does the 'Main God Space' possess the ability to detect wizards' actions?

"If it also lacks this capability, then humanity on Earth can probably start preparing to evacuate the West Coast."

Half an hour later, Lin Yi, who was still in the God Space, received a message from the Wizarding World.

"A 'big spender' of 500,000 points? The requirement is to detect the wizard's actions?"

The consciousness, through the "box" dropped in the Wizarding World, directly connected to the more than three hundred satellites in the sky, scanned the area where the fleet was located, and transmitted it to the "collaborator".

Out of goodwill for the 500,000 points, Lin Yi enthusiastically marked three scarlet dots among them.

—Level 3 Archmage.

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 754 Wizarding World - East Sea Campaign (2)

With the power that the Five Rings Tower could radiate to its limit, the expeditionary force, led by the three great wizards, directly crossed more than three continents and landed in this sea area bordering the west coast. As several wizards who had escaped from fighting against unknown forces on the west coast arrived one after another, various intelligence about these unknown forces were passed on to the three great wizards one after another.

The third-level archmage, Lordren, originally planned to launch an expedition to another world. Of course, his level as a third-level archmage was not enough to lead an expedition to another world. At least a Morning Star wizard with a wizard tower would have the ability to cross the world barrier under the protection of the wizard's will. He was just a participant who went along.

However, an urgent mission from the Five Rings Tower forced him to interrupt his preparations for the interdimensional expedition. Although the tone was not urgent, considering that the sooner this matter was resolved, the sooner he could return to the Five Rings Tower to continue preparations, Archmage Lordren immediately went to the assembly point to rendezvous.

Upon arriving at the teleportation point and seeing the wizards selected by the Five Rings Tower for this mission, Archmage Lordren realized that the mission might not be as simple as he had imagined.

"Grand Wizard Michelle, Grand Wizard Edson."

"High Wizard Lordren? You also received a mission from the Five Rings Tower?"

Nodding, the wizard excused himself from the greetings of the other lower-ranking wizards and walked directly to the two high wizards of the same rank. Lordren asked in a serious tone, "Do you two have any news regarding this tower mission?"

As one of the relatively few female wizards, Michelle, who is five hundred years old, looks no different from an eighteen-year-old girl. Of course, from the wizard's point of view, five hundred years old is not considered "old" in their long life. After hearing Lordren's question, she shook her head: "No, all we can get is information from the Tower."

"It's the West Coast. An unknown force has appeared there. Their Wizarding Five Rings Tower—the will of the Radiant Moon Wizards—destroyed the ships that went to bring back the apprentices."

"The West Coast? If I remember correctly, that's just the edge of the radiation zone of the Wizarding Continent?"

Born on the Wizarding Continent, Lordren had little concept of such remote areas, but that didn't stop him from applying the knowledge he had read in books to them, which made it somewhat incomprehensible.

Were there no qualified wizards on board at the time?

Archmage Edson quickly understood Lordren's idea and explained simply, "Twelve first-level wizards and three second-level wizards, more than half of whom have carried out similar missions more than once, so the possibility of an accident is not high."

"So, the main problem lies on the lower coast?"

Lordren was aware that the Wizarding Continent would recruit apprentices in remote areas every ten years. It wasn't just the Five Rings Tower that did this; other wizarding organizations did it too. However, the West Coast was assigned to the Five Rings Tower's area, and no other wizarding organizations would specifically come to compete for these peripheral areas radiating from the Wizarding Continent, so things had remained peaceful.

"In that case, these unidentified forces on the west coast should have emerged within the last ten years."

Archmage Edson nodded: "Yes, the last ship encountered no accidents, but this time such a thing happened. There is no other explanation but that something unexpected has happened in the last ten years."

"Didn't the Five Rings Tower have any protectors on the west coast?"

Although it is only a peripheral area, the vulnerability of humanity should still warrant at least one official wizard appointed by the Five Rings Tower to be stationed there, in order to prevent any large-scale extinction events. In this respect, the wizard is actually the protector of humanity... just as humans on Earth protect their livestock from various flu and viruses.

Archmage Michelle spoke up, “I’ve checked. The last person to accept the mission was a Level 2 wizard named Castle, but he was cut off from contact before he could send back any messages… If the unknown forces on the West Coast really have the ability to defeat a team of fifteen, including Level 2 wizards, then the fall of Wizard Castle was inevitable.”

After thinking for a long time, Lordren finally relaxed his brow: "In any case, we can only find out more by going there. At the very least, we have this."

As he spoke, he showed the two great wizards a parchment he had just acquired.

The yellowish hue indicated that it was not a recent creation, and the ancient inscriptions on it immediately drew the attention of the two great wizards, who carefully translated the ancient wizarding texts.

"Legend has it that the ancient sea races occupied the boundless seas, dragging any life that attempted to cross the surface into the deep sea to kill it. It was the ancient wizards who intervened, killing the sea races who disregarded them and forcing the Sea Emperor to sign a pact, prohibiting all sea races from attacking the wizards..."

"The sea creature contract... I never imagined it would actually be real!"

Upon hearing the two great wizards' astonishment, the great wizard Lordren recalled his own reaction earlier, when he had received the mission and obtained the contract that allowed him to mobilize the sea creatures from the Five Rings Tower.

"For wizards below the Morning Star level, many real things seem like legends. However, it's just that our abilities are not yet sufficient to access the truth. Once you step into the Morning Star, you will see a completely different wizarding world."

"Now that we have the sea creature contract, this mission won't fail even if it can't be completed in a short time."

It was clear that the appearance of the Sea Clan Contract gave the wizards tremendous confidence. Even the initial unease caused by insufficient information from one side dissipated considerably. After waiting for the other ten second-level wizards, thirty first-level wizards, more than a thousand Grand Knight-level servants, and five thousand Knight-level servants, a terrifying energy fluctuation erupted, and the group of more than six thousand people instantly disappeared from the Five Rings Tower. When they reappeared, they were already separated by three continental sea areas, in the region designated as the "Eastern Sea Far Sea" by Earth civilization.

Looking around at the formation, it was probably because the reintegration of the West Coast would require a lot of manpower. So this time, they were not only relying on the wizards, but also bringing along the knights of ten large sailing warships. On the sea, they would at most operate the warships to carry out attacks that were of little use to the wizards, but on land, they could integrate and re-stabilize the management of mortals as quickly as possible, which would give the wizards a lot of time.

"Forward! Destination: West Coast."

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 755 Wizarding World - East Sea Campaign (3)

As the fleet from the Wizarding Continent made contact with the previous group of surviving wizards who had fled after the war, Earth's civilization, after paying up to 500,000 reward points, obtained the specific coordinates and information of these wizards.

"More than thirty first-level wizards, more than ten second-level wizards, and three third-level archmages whom we are making our first contact with..."

As the fleet of ten warships, even larger than the last one, slowly approached from outside the identification zone, Ralf Taya rubbed his temples.

The Third Fleet commander, whose previous operational error led to the leak of information about the West Coast, was tasked with annihilating the incoming wizard fleet. If they escaped, he would face a military court. In exchange, he could command not only the Third Fleet but also support from over a hundred conventional missiles on the ground—this was confirmed urgently after the existence of a Level 3 Archmage was specifically identified in the "God Space." Otherwise, it would have been nearly impossible for the Third Fleet alone to completely annihilate this force of nearly a hundred wizards who possessed some intelligence on the area.

As for the six thousand knights who accompanied him?

No one takes them seriously. On land, they might serve as cannon fodder, but on the vast ocean, these mortals who can't even fly have no other way to survive but to pray for good fortune.

As the distance closed, there was no communication between the two sides, nor was there any need for communication. The only possible peace for Earth's civilization had vanished with the crash of the first drone. As for the wizarding civilization, it had always been the case that they were the ones invading other worlds, and there had never been a possibility of other worlds invading the wizarding world.

The conflict between invaders and indigenous people has always been unavoidable.

"attack!"

----------segmentation----------

As the distance closed, the Archmage Lordren, who had initially thought nothing would happen, discovered the anomaly while using a wide-range, blurry detection spell as a precaution.

"Several large targets are approaching to the east."

The great wizard Michelle, on high alert, exclaimed, "A creature from the sea?"

"No, they're moving on the surface of the sea—they've changed direction, they're moving towards us!"

Even the Archmage Edson, who was just listening in, couldn't sit still. Unlike ordinary wizards, the third-level Archmage who had actually participated in the interdimensional expedition knew very well what such a move meant. It meant that the enemy had the ability to detect wizards in advance, while the wizards did not have the ability to detect the enemy in advance. Often, a battle in another world could fail because of this lack of information.

The situation that appeared before the three great wizards was far from that, but it was by no means a good omen.

"Have a level two wizard lead the team, with five level one wizards for each team, and spread out."

"What about those aircraft that can eject metal particles through the air?"

Activating the various defensive magical artifacts on his body, the great wizard Anderson detached himself from the deck and flew into the sky: "I'll handle this."

Before long, a large number of wizards dressed in gray robes took flight from the deck, moving in different directions despite the thick defensive barriers. The fleet below continued on its original course, but as the great wizard Lordren took out the "Sea Clan Contract," unusual commotions were also heard from the seabed...

Based on information obtained from the surviving wizards, Archmage Anderson learned that a metallic construct controlled by an unknown force, capable of flying at more than three times the speed of sound, possessed the ability to eject metallic particles. While these metallic particles had an inflexible flaw, their penetrating power and strength were enough to easily pierce through the defensive stance of a level two wizard.

Faced with this situation, Anderson, a level three archmage, dared not be careless and repeatedly strengthened the defensive field on his body before making contact. As a result, when the two sides made contact, the archmage Anderson, who was less than two meters tall, had become a conspicuous object with a "sphere of light" with a diameter of more than five meters.

"Seagull 03 has spotted the target."

"Seagull 04 has spotted the target."

"Seagull 05 has spotted the target."

……

The orders from the command tower were quite simple.

Eliminate him.

"learn."

After cutting off communication, the crosshair was aimed at the extremely conspicuous "orb of light" in the sky, and the trigger was pulled hard at the instant they overlapped.

"Da da da——————"

A 25mm cannon is devastating even against ground targets, let alone against flying machines that also rely on low mass and low armor. However, the existence of wizards is destined to overturn humanity's understanding of traditional aerial combat.

As the metallic storms relentlessly battered the armored figures, the "orb of light" suspended over a thousand meters above sea level merely dimmed. Unlike before, when the wizards' defenses were pierced and torn to shreds, the attacking fighters continued to close the distance between the two sides.

"hayata—!"

The spirit contained in the words shook the omnipresent "mana" in the wizarding world. Even the pilot of a fighter jet traveling at supersonic speed heard this incredible voice, defying common sense. The next second, a scorching red ray directly split the aircraft beneath him in two, and with its remaining force, it tore apart the wings of the two fighter jets behind him before slowly disappearing.

The aircraft, now unable to fly, spun and crashed into the sea. With the first deep thud, the first naval battle between Earth civilization and Wizard civilization officially began.

"Seagull 03, 05, 09 has been shot down! Seagull 03, 05, 09 has been shot down!"

"Our armor is insufficient; requesting reinforcements—"

The scorching red ray swept across again, and the tail fin was still hit despite the hasty dodge. With the fourth fighter jet crashing, the remaining eight fighter jets could only retreat quickly on orders. Only then did the great wizard Anderson release his hands, his face pale.

Even a level three archmage would find it difficult to withstand such a massive defensive field. This was only because he had innate the defensive field as a magical ability; other wizards would likely be even more overwhelmed.

Even so, he still suffered considerable damage in the battle just now. Although the incredibly powerful metal technology could not penetrate his defenses, the shock and impact it brought almost killed him. It was only because the wizard had superhuman physical strength that the outcome of the battle would have been different.

"This level of strength is definitely not ordinary organizational power."

With a deeper understanding of this unknown force, just as Archmage Anderson was about to turn back and inform the other two Archmages, he noticed several objects with long trails of flame falling overhead—like the "meteor fall" spell cast by the Morning Star Wizards, falling straight down to the eastern horizon.

The next second, waves surged hundreds of meters into the air, and wooden debris scattered and fell in all directions upon impact...

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 756 Wizarding World - East Sea Campaign (End)

In modern warfare, the forces controlled by both sides are like the planks that make up a bucket, and the one that ultimately determines victory is not the longest plank, but the shortest one.

Following this shortcoming thinking, when the Third Fleet realized that it was impossible for them to easily eliminate those Level 3 Archmages with the power they possessed, they directly set their sights on the ten sailing warships.

By medieval standards, these ten sailing warships were the product of a nation's collective efforts, capable of defeating kingdoms of similar strength and forcing them to cede territory and pay reparations. However, when faced with technological advancements that were more than five centuries ahead of their own, their fate was predictable.

With a salvo of missiles launched from the destroyer, three sailing warships in the satellite image were instantly reduced to fragments. Two of the closest ships were capsized, and another had its hull severely damaged, appearing unlikely to hold out for much longer. Admittedly, wizards could function without warships for a short period, but as long as they needed to land and rest, these warships would be necessary for them, not to mention the knights on board who were responsible for managing the mortals.

"What kind of weapon is this?!"

Witnessing firsthand how these massive warships were so easily destroyed like toys right before her eyes, even though she thought she was mentally prepared, Grand Wizard Michelle was still shocked. In her mind, this power was comparable to the magic unleashed by the Morning Star Wizard!

However, what I just saw was caused by a "weapon" that did not have any magical fluctuations. In other words, as long as one masters this "weapon", even a mortal has the ability to defeat or even kill a level three great wizard. This almost overturned Michelle's impression of wizards as being high and mighty.
