The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat solemn.
All the wizards were shocked and confused.
Luke's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip from it.
The wizard who had been defeated in the Earth Crystal Plane and escaped once said that the Star Alliance sent an unusually large number of troops into the Earth Crystal Plane at that time, and it was very likely that they had mastered some means of quickly transporting troops.
Luke didn't take it seriously at the time. Only then did he suddenly realize how exaggerated the Covenant's so-called means of rapid troop transportation were.
In just less than half a day, at least six or seven hundred thousand golem puppets were transported.
This method is enough to catch any opponent off guard when used in plane invasion! Just like them now.
Once the Covenant quickly gains a foothold and captures enough territory as outposts, it will be several times or even dozens of times more difficult for them to repel the Covenant later.
Thinking of this, Luke's face became even gloomier.
Fortunately, he also knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he took a deep breath to calm down, and gave orders in a deep voice.
"Set off!"
Buzz! In the dazzling magic light, many wizard towers and black rope warships flew towards the end of the sky like streams of light.
Cold Wind City.
After capturing the city of Lingfeng with thunderous force, the Star Alliance used the city as the center of its outpost base.
Thousands of flying magic ships hovered above the town, casting huge shadows that made people tremble with fear.
There was no one on the streets of the city. The local residents had all hidden in their homes. Only fully armed magic pattern knights and golem puppets were passing by on the streets.
Thirteen wizard towers stand majestically above the former lord’s residence of Lingfeng City.
In the central Starlight Wizard Tower, a group of Star Alliance leaders gathered together, listening with joy to the battle reports coming in from below.
"Canguang City has been captured, two first-level wizards from the Black Sortie Tower have been killed, and more than 3,000 enemy puppets and more than 43,000 human troops have been wiped out."
"Iron Tower City has been captured, three first-level wizards from the Black Tower have been killed, and more than 2,000 enemy puppets and more than 35,000 human troops have been wiped out."
"A huge black ship was discovered near Mianyun City, and the Third Flying Fleet has destroyed it."
"Very good, remember to recycle the wreckage!"
Sunan waved his hand, asked the reporting Magic Pattern Knight to retreat, and turned to look at Liz.
"How many towns have been captured so far?"
"Twenty-five!"
Lizard reported the progress slowly and calmly.
"With Lingfeng City as the center, all the towns within a radius of more than 600 kilometers have fallen into our hands."
"The Ulan Plane has not yet really sent out its main force. Our forces have a huge advantage over the garrisons in these towns, so the casualties are minimal."
"So far, we have one Golem Army, three large Golem Corps, and three Magic Pattern Knight Corps entering the Ulan Plane. We expect that by the day after tomorrow, the Golem Corps and the Magic Pattern Knight Corps will be fully transported. In two days, the Black Wolf Pack will also be fully transported to the Ulan Plane."
"Not bad." Sunan nodded with satisfaction.
The Star Alliance high-level officials were all delighted.
No matter how this invasion war goes, at least in the early stages, the invasion of the Covenant was very smooth.
Now that we have gained a firm foothold, the worst possible outcome is a stalemate with the Ulan plane. The minimum goal of containing the Ulan plane can be said to have been successfully achieved.
"It is estimated that in another half day, we will be able to capture all the towns within a thousand miles of Lingfeng City."
"The Star Eye Network and the Transmission Network are already being built."
"In addition, the scouts who were sent out to investigate discovered that a large number of golem puppets and human cavalry were surrounding us. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be the Golem Corps and Fire Scale Knights guarding the Ulan plane. They will clash with our army in five hours at the latest."
"It's quite fast." Su Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
The troops were mobilized in less than a day, which was quite fast.
I think in addition to the transmission network, Blacksota has probably also been preparing for war during this period, so it can react so quickly.
Sunan pondered and said, "Since the two main armies have already been dispatched, I believe the Black Cable Tower's Wizard Tower and the Black Cable Battleship should also be on the way. We will have to fight a tough battle next!"
Everyone's expressions also became solemn.
Just as Sunan expected, more than an hour later, the scouts reported that a large number of wizard towers and Blackfuse warships were found more than 1,500 kilometers away from Lingfeng City.
Sunan immediately gave the order to set off.
Thirteen wizard towers and more than forty star fortresses, protected by densely packed flying magic ships, flew away into the distance in a mighty force.
At this time, the occupied territory of the Star Alliance had expanded to more than 800 kilometers away from Lingfeng City.
The Star Alliance army, which had just captured the city of Yahen, had no time to rest before they discovered that a large number of wizard towers and Blacklink warships suddenly appeared in the distance and arrived above the town in the blink of an eye.
The next second, countless spell rays fell from the sky, shooting and killing many legendary puppets and magic pattern knights.
Soon after, a large number of puppets flew out from the wizard tower and the Black Fence battleship, landed in the city and began to slaughter the Covenant troops.
When the Star Alliance Wizard Tower arrived at Yahen City, what they saw was the scene of their troops being wantonly slaughtered.
Black Sota was the first to discover the arrival of the Alliance reinforcements. When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous of each other, and both sides immediately launched attacks on each other.
In an instant, countless artillery fire rays intertwined with each other, interweaving in the sky to form a criss-crossing giant web of death!
The deafening roar was accompanied by dazzling magic light, almost covering the entire sky! The Black Sortie Tower had a total of sixteen wizard towers, including two large wizard towers, five medium-sized wizard towers, and nine small wizard towers.
The Star Alliance has thirteen wizard towers, including two large wizard towers, four medium-sized wizard towers and seven small wizard towers.
In terms of the number of wizard towers alone, the Star Alliance is undoubtedly inferior to the Black Thunder Tower.
But the number of star fortresses of the Star Alliance is much greater than that of the Black Thunder Tower.
With the help of the flying fleet, the overall combat power is not weaker than Blacksota.
For a while, the two sides fought back and forth and it was evenly matched.
"Sure enough, it's hard to gain an advantage in war creation."
Watching the battle situation, Su Nan's eyes flashed slightly.
The long-range firepower of the Starlight Wizard Tower has not been upgraded yet, and is not enough to form a crushing advantage on the front battlefield. Sunan did not intend to let the Starlight Wizard Tower be too prominent at this time, so as not to alert the enemy, so he fought in a conventional way.
After fighting for more than half an hour, both sides suffered losses and the wizard tower's energy was almost exhausted, so both sides called off the battle.
Watching the Black Cable Tower's wizard tower and the Black Cable giant ship gradually disappear into the distance, Liz glanced at the devastated Yahen City and whispered, "We have to proceed step by step."
Su Nan nodded slightly.
Black Thunder Tower has now realized that the Covenant's war creations cannot gain the upper hand, and relying solely on ground forces, the advancement speed will inevitably be very slow.
But it doesn't matter. The pulse cannon is already being manufactured. In one or two years at most, a more powerful pulse cannon Type III will be synthesized, which will break the current stalemate.
"Next, I will focus on improving the pulse cannon. I will leave the battle command to you."
Sunan transferred the control of the Starlight Wizard Tower to Liz.
"There is no need to rush to expand the occupied area. Just keep things stable."
Lizé already knew Sunan's plan, and nodded solemnly when she heard it.
"I understand. Next, we will focus on digesting the results of the battle. I will improve the Star Eye network and the transmission network in the occupied area as soon as possible."
Dark Dragon Plane.
At the Blacksota headquarters, tall towers stand in rows, with buildings of all shapes and sizes rising and falling, standing side by side and stretching out for thousands of meters.
From a distance, it looks like a giant black dragon coiled on the ground.
Wizards in robes were coming and going between the buildings in a hurry, and the atmosphere was filled with the prospect of a storm.
In a huge black tower over a thousand meters high in the center, in a spacious and bright meeting hall, dozens of wizards gathered together to discuss how to deal with the sudden war.
"I've said it before, we shouldn't drag it out with those guys. If we had started the war earlier, we wouldn't be in such a passive situation like we are now!"
"That's easy to say, but those guys from Pale Mask and Flame Mark are greedy and want most of the profits. If we don't fight for it, will we just give up the profits to them?"
"Well, there's no point arguing about this now, the most urgent thing is to find a way to fight!"
"What's the situation now?"
"The Ten Thousand Birds and the Star Alliance simultaneously launched an attack on the twenty-two planes under our control. The enemy is aggressive and difficult to deal with."
"What do the three adults say?"
"Lord Ryan and his men have been held back in the Realm of Truth by the Code of Wisdom and the True Spirit Wizard of the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird. Among their opponents is Maisha Edwards. They probably won't be able to escape in a short time."
When the name Maisha Edwards came out, there was a brief silence in the hall for a few seconds, and everyone frowned.
Although Maisha Edwards has just entered the ranks of True Spirit Wizards and is strictly speaking only a newcomer among True Spirit Wizards, her strength is even stronger than some senior True Spirit Wizards who have been promoted for thousands of years.
It is said that she was forced to flee the Starlight Continent in a panic by a True Spirit Wizard from the Dark Throne. After that, she was promoted to a True Spirit Wizard. She immediately sought revenge and severely injured the opponent in a head-on confrontation with the True Spirit Wizard, almost killing him.
After that battle, Maisha Edwards's reputation spread throughout the wizarding world, and her strength was recognized by many true spirit wizards! With her involvement, it would be difficult for the three adults to extricate themselves.
However, it is almost common sense that when wizard forces fight, they must first restrain the true spirit wizards. Everyone was not surprised and they just frowned and continued the discussion.
"The most urgent task is to concentrate our forces to fight against the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird. Among the 19 planes that the enemy is attacking, including the Dark Dragon plane, there are several of our core planes. We must not allow any of them to be lost!"
"In my opinion, it is better to attack the weak ones first, and then concentrate all our efforts on dealing with the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird after we have dealt with the Star Alliance!"
"No, no matter how weak the Star Alliance is, it can't be solved in a short time. What if other planes can't withstand the attack of the Ten Thousand Birds during this process?"
"That's right. The garrison forces of Xige, Manro and Wulan are more than enough to resist the Star Alliance. We can concentrate our forces to deal with the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird first. Compared with the Star Alliance, the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird is the enemy that deserves our attention!"
Everyone was talking at once, each holding their own opinion.
The hall suddenly became quiet until a man sitting at the top coughed lightly.
Everyone turned to look at the man above them.
There are not many descendants of the true spirit of Black Sota, only more than ten, among which Elliot and Lucius are the leaders.
After Elliot died in the Earth Crystal Plane, the descendants of the Black Sota's true spirit were basically headed by Lucius.
At a time when the three True Spirit Wizards are trapped in the Realm of Truth and unable to escape, Lucius naturally has the highest status and the most important weight in the entire Black Soya Tower.
Looking around, Lucius spoke slowly.
"I just received news that although the Star Alliance attacked three planes at the same time, the main target was the Ulan plane, and only a small number of troops were sent to the other two planes."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Someone hesitated and asked, "What is the Star Alliance planning? Are they planning to capture the Ulan plane?"
In their expectation, the most important role of the Star Alliance should be to contain part of the power of the Black Thunder Tower in order to reduce the pressure on the Ten Thousand Birds.
To this end, what the Covenant should do is to balance the invasion forces of the three dimensions as much as possible.
But looking at the current situation, the Star Alliance does not seem to do so, but instead focuses on attacking the Ulan plane.
There is no other explanation except that he wants to capture the Ulan plane.
"The Star Alliance has such a big appetite, I'm afraid they'll get bloated!"
“Where do they get their confidence from?”
“Too arrogant!”
Lucius raised his hand, interrupting everyone's discussion, and said slowly:
"Luke reported to me that the Covenant had mastered a method of rapidly transporting troops. It caught Luke off guard in the early stages of the invasion and occupied an area of nearly 80,000 square kilometers in just three days."
Everyone was shocked.
No one expected that the Star Alliance would be so powerful! A wizard said in doubt: "Then the Ulan plane..."
Lucius waved his hand to interrupt him and said calmly, "Don't worry, the Covenant just took advantage of the surprise attack. After Luke realized what was happening, he mobilized the army to curb the expansion of the Covenant. Although they cannot expel the Covenant for the time being, they will not let them expand their victory."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is no risk of the Ulan plane falling, it will be fine.
Lucius said expressionlessly:
"I have to admit that the Star Alliance does have some strength, but that's all. There's no need to worry."
"Our focus should still be on the Ten Thousand Birds!"
"Actually, this is a good thing. We don't have to face the Code of Wisdom head-on. If we just deal with the Ten Thousand Birds, the pressure won't be too great."
"If we can annex the Ten Thousand Birds, we can move to a higher level and further narrow the gap with the large wizard forces!"
After hearing what Lucius said, everyone looked at each other, no longer raised any objections, and nodded in agreement.
"Lord Lucius is right!"
"Then let's focus on dealing with the Ten Thousand Birds first!"
"Let the Star Alliance stay strong for a while." (End of this chapter)
