On the vast plain, densely packed troops are gathering in an orderly manner.
High in the sky, a group of wizards looked down at the situation below, whispering to each other from time to time.
Except for the second-level wizards such as Scepter, Rose and Falkado who went to the meeting in the conference hall, Sherman, Corey, Atil, Ethan, Tatjana, and Fleming, almost all the core first-level wizards with the highest status in the Star Alliance gathered together.
"I heard that we are going to attack three planes at the same time this time. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
"Although we are attacking simultaneously, there is actually a primary and a secondary one. Our main target is the Ulan Plane. The other two planes only need to contain the Black Sota's army and prevent them from having time to escape."
"Speaking of which, what kind of plane is the Ulan Plane?"
Everyone turned to look at Atil.
Although Artil focused most of his energy on cultivation after reshaping his body, he still participated in government affairs.
Among all the people present, the one with the most information was undoubtedly Arthur, who had once served as Liz's assistant.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Atil smiled and said, "The detailed information has just been sorted out and should be sent to all wizards and legion commanders today."
Tatjana said, "Please tell us the truth first."
"Yes, let us have some idea of the situation first," Fleming agreed.
Seeing this, Atil did not refuse and said, "The situation in the Ulan plane is actually similar to that in the Starlight Continent. Both are dominated by humans and have a unified political regime. The country that currently controls the entire plane is called the North Empire, which is the ruling force of the Black Sota in the Ulan plane."
Everyone's face showed understanding.
In order to maximize the efficiency of resource development and collection, the planes controlled by wizards where civilized races exist usually support a unified regime to exercise ruling power on their behalf.
Just like the Starry Empire in the Starlight Continent.
"Given Blackthorne's typical dark wizard style of doing things, the living environment of the people in the North Empire must not be much better." Sherman said thoughtfully.
Atil nodded and said, "Indeed, the Black Sota has been exploiting the North Empire to the utmost, and this exploitation has been passed on to the lower-class people by the North Empire's royal family and nobles. It is not an exaggeration to say that the living environment of the lower class is in dire straits."
Fleming sneered and said, "It seems that our attack on the Ulan plane is a good thing."
Everyone shook their heads and laughed.
Tatjana asked, "What is the military strength of the Ulan plane?"
Atil pondered and said, "We haven't found out the details yet, but the intelligence we have so far shows that there are at least fifteen wizard towers and thirty black rope ships stationed on the Ulan plane all year round."
"So many?" Sherman frowned.
The others also stopped smiling and looked solemn.
With such a strong garrison force in just one plane, it's no wonder that the Code of Wisdom wants the Star Alliance and the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird to join forces to deal with Black Thunder.
Considering that the Star Alliance has to dispatch part of its forces to invade the Xige plane and the Manro plane, the number of war creatures that can actually be used to attack the Ulan plane is probably less than that of the Ulan plane.
Even if the Covenant still has a flying fleet to make up for the gap, it still cannot gain an advantage.
"Where is the puppet army?" Corey asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know the exact number." Atil shook his head. "I only know that there is a Fire Scale Knight Corps stationed in the Ulan Plane. They are similar to our Magic Pattern Knights. All the members are legendary fighters. The number of people will not be less than 30,000."
Xie Man pondered and said, "This isn't difficult to deal with. The Demonic Pattern Knights now have over 100,000 members. Since they have decided to attack the Ulan Plane, the number of personnel they will dispatch will not be less than 50,000. It won't be a problem to deal with the Fire Scale Knights."
"The same goes for puppets." Ethan said, "No matter how many puppets there are in the Ulan plane, at most they can only defeat two armies. We still have the advantage in this regard."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although the Black Sota is a top second-rate wizard force, it is impossible for it to station a large number of puppets in twenty-two planes at the same time.
It is already very good to have two million puppets in a single plane.
The Star Alliance currently has a total of five army groups, and the army used to attack the Ulan plane will not be less than two army groups, or two million puppets.
As for wizards, although the number of the Star Alliance is smaller, the existence of the Witch Hunting Corps can make up for this gap well.
If we only talk about wizard-level combat power, the Star Alliance may not be less than the three planes of Ulan, Manro and Xige combined.
In general, in terms of basic and high-end combat power, even if the Star Alliance does not have a big advantage over the three planes, it will not be at a disadvantage.
The only problem is the war creation.
War artifacts are extremely expensive and take a long time to make. The war artifacts of wizard forces, including wizard towers, are accumulated bit by bit over thousands of years.
The Star Alliance, which has only been around for less than two thousand years, has always been lacking in this regard.
Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Sherman wanted to ease the atmosphere and said with a smile: "But this is a good opportunity. If we can seize a few more wizard towers, we can also enhance the strength of the Star Alliance in war creation."
As soon as these words were spoken, many wizards' eyes lit up.
The Star Alliance currently has only twenty-one wizard towers, but more than four hundred wizards. There are too many monks and too few resources, and many wizards still do not have their own wizard towers.
If they could capture more wizard towers in this war, they might have a chance to exchange them for wizard towers.
How can one not be excited? "With Lord Sunan leading us, we will surely win this war!" Tatjana said.
Everyone nodded subconsciously.
After the plane blockade was lifted, they were exposed to more and more information from the outside world. The more they knew, the more they realized how incredible it was that the Star Alliance had grown from scratch to its current size in just over a thousand years!
And all this was accomplished under the leadership of Sunan.
The entire Star Alliance now has a blind trust in Sunan.
As long as it is an order issued by Sunan, no matter how incredible it is, they will do their best to carry it out.
This time is no exception!
"This is the military force stationed in the Ulan plane."
In the meeting room, Liz distributed the document to the second-level wizards present. After everyone had read it, she spoke in a serious tone.
"Due to time constraints, the intelligence we have collected is limited. Most of the information about the Ulan Plane is provided by the Wisdom Codex, but the level of detail is also limited, so we can only make a rough estimate."
The garrison forces in the planes under one's command are undoubtedly the core secret of any wizard force. Even if spies are sent into the planes to collect intelligence for many years, it is difficult to detect the complete deployment of the forces.
All the wizards present understood this, so they didn't say anything when they heard it, but looked up at Su Nan who was sitting at the top.
Looking around, Su Nan tapped the handle of the chair with his fingers a few times, and said after a moment's silence:
"Then we will follow the original plan and take the Ulan plane as the main target, and use the other two planes as a diversion."
"Scepter, you lead the Second Army of the Golem Legion and the Third and Fourth Corps of the Magic Pattern Knights to attack the Manro Plane. I will also give you three small wizard towers and one medium-sized wizard tower, three flying fleets and fifteen star fortresses."
The Magic Pattern Knights are currently divided into ten legions, each legion consists of 10,000 official members and 90,000 alternate members.
Although it is only a diversion, the size of the invading army still cannot be too small, otherwise it may be swallowed up by the enemy, and then it will be unable to support the Ulan plane, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Sunan must ensure that the military force attacking Manluo and Xige is sufficient to suppress the enemy and prevent them from withdrawing.
"Yes, sir!" the scepter replied respectfully.
"The army attacking the Xige plane is led by Falcardo. They will draw on the Third Army of the Golem Legion and the Fifth and Sixth Corps of the Magic Pattern Knights. You will also be given the same number of war artifacts."
"Yes, sir!" Fakado responded respectfully.
Scepter and Falcardo are the oldest and most powerful wizards in the Star Alliance. They are in charge of attacking the Manro plane and Xige plane respectively, and everyone is convinced.
"As for wizard-level combat power, the two of you will each mobilize one-fifth of the wizards and wizard-level puppets. The list of logistical supplies has been included in the previous document. I will give you five days to prepare for war as soon as possible."
"Remember, all you have to do is contain the enemy. You don't need to achieve a big victory. You just need to preserve your own strength and prevent the enemy from supporting other planes."
Scepter and Falcardo responded in unison.
After some more instructions on the specific details, the meeting ended and the wizards left in a hurry to make their own preparations.
The meeting room was empty in a blink of an eye, leaving only Su Nan and Li Ze.
"Have you been researching the elemental furnace recently?" Liz asked.
"Um."
Sunan nodded. He had nothing to hide from Liz.
"If the Starlight Wizard Tower wants to be further upgraded, it must make a breakthrough in energy supply. The current element pool has reached the limit of the Wizard Tower's size and cannot be strengthened any further. I can only start from the efficiency aspect and see if I can create a simplified element furnace."
Liz's eyes flashed with emotion when she heard this.
Upgrading and renovating wizard towers is not uncommon in the wizarding world.
For example, the descendants of the true spirits of the major wizard forces, if they do not have the ability to build more advanced floating cities, will choose to transform the large wizard towers they have.
However, due to limited capabilities and resources, most people can only transform one or two aspects at most.
Or tower spirits, elemental pools.
Or it could be a maze-locked protective energy field or a long-range fire strike.
Or a built-in puppet army.
This was the first time she had heard of an example of all-round upgrade like Su Nan's.
Today's Starlight Wizard Tower is far superior to the large wizard towers, and it is even possible to divide it into a higher level - such as super large.
Even so, Sunan was still not satisfied and planned to make further modifications, and even planned to install a simplified version of the element furnace! That was the element furnace, the energy supply device of the floating city!
Even if it is just a simplified version, its energy storage, output and recovery rate must far exceed that of the element pool!
Liz couldn't imagine, if Sunan's plan really succeeded, to what extent would the Starlight Wizard Tower's combat power be strengthened? Perhaps this was the reason why Sunan was confident in conquering the Ulan plane! Thinking of Sunan's past brilliant achievements, Liz couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After calming down, Liz asked again, "The transformation of Dusk Valley has come to an end, and the wolf pack has reached its hatching limit. Should we use the wolf pack in this war?"
Sunan nodded in agreement: "Although the fighting power of the wolf pack is not as good as that of the golem army, it is still very good to be cannon fodder."
The speed at which the Dusk Valley hatches black wolves is not slow. Even if all of the more than 900,000 black wolves died, they could be hatched again in about forty years. Su Nan doesn't feel sorry at all for using them as cannon fodder.
As for the Dusk Wolves, it takes more than seven months to hatch one, and more than three hundred years to hatch the upper limit of 602. The incubation time is long, so it must be used well.
"However, the main force of the attack at the beginning was still mainly golems." Sunan said.
Essentially, plane invasion is a battle against time.
While the opponent is reacting and mobilizing their troops, the invaders will send as many troops as possible to gain a foothold in the plane and open up an outpost.
How smooth the early stages of a plane invasion are depends largely on how many troops the invaders can send in before the opponent reacts.
For example, in the Wave Plane, one of the main reasons why You Xi was defeated was that the Star Alliance reacted too quickly.
In just two or three hours, enough troops were mobilized to stop the Dark Throne's invasion, making it impossible for them to quickly expand their outposts and build more dimensional channels to calmly transport more troops.
And at this point, the Star Alliance undoubtedly has a unique advantage.
The actions in the Earth Crystal Plane have proven the huge role of the Rubik's Cube in transporting troops.
In just twenty-four hours, fifty-three star fortresses, thirteen flying fleets, two golem armies, and one hundred and twenty thousand magic pattern knights were transported into the Earth Crystal Plane.
In other words, if the Covenant wanted to, they could send in an army of golems within half a day and quickly launch a war.
Unless the Ulan Plane has established a monitoring network and transmission network covering the entire plane like the Starlight Continent, the Ulan Plane will definitely not be able to mobilize enough troops to fight in such a short time.
This time difference is enough for the Star Alliance to gain a foothold in the Ulan plane.
The wolves are intelligent life forms and cannot be transported through the Rubik's Cube. It takes time to transport them into the Ulan plane, so the early attacks are naturally based on golem puppets.
By the time all the troops have been transported, the Star Alliance should have also opened up a certain situation in the Ulan plane, and then they can use the wolf pack to cooperate with the army to launch a more fierce offensive.
After discussing for a while, Liz left the meeting room to go about her business.
Su Nan also had to study the elemental furnace and had no time to focus on other matters. She had to coordinate most of the preparations before the war, so she had been very busy in this short period of time.
Su Nan then left the meeting room and headed straight for the laboratory. (End of this chapter)
