The war had begun.
Richard, upon receiving his orders, hurried towards his assigned location with his alchemy golems.
He was very familiar with the place—it was the war fortress he had entered when he first emerged from the insect nest.
Along the way, one black-robed wizard after another flew to the front lines. Overhead, the White Wizard Army's war airships blocked out the sky.
All the airships that had been in maintenance were now activated, dispatched to various battle zones to manage signal transmission and provide war support.
By the time Richard reached the war fortress, the battle had already commenced.
Swarming insects joined by obscuring clouds of the Moth Army, like a massive wave, surged towards the war fortress.
Yet this was merely an auxiliary attack, supporting the frontal assault by the wizard soldiers' preceding bug forces.
On the main battlefield, the wizards faced an enemy force multiple times larger.
