Ulan plane, Ulan city.
Under the Star Alliance's operation for more than 30 years, the city's area has expanded more than four or five times, and it has become a huge arsenal.
Every day, various puppets and war creatures flow out of Ulan City and are incorporated into the Star Alliance’s army.
Massive amounts of resources continue to flow into Ulan City, turning into nutrients for the Star Alliance's military force, allowing it to continue to grow stronger.
In the center of Ulan City, the Starlight Wizard Tower stands tall.
In the study, Su Nan sat behind the desk, looking at the report on military expansion.
Nearly ten years have passed since the conquest of the Xige plane.
The Star Alliance deliberately slowed down its offensive pace. On the one hand, it was to avoid overly stimulating the Black Sota, lest the other party shift more energy to the Star Alliance. On the other hand, it was to have more time to develop and thoroughly digest the two major gains of the Ulan Plane and the Xige Plane.
It has to be said that taking over the Ulan Plane and the Xige Plane has indeed greatly promoted the development of the Star Alliance.
In just over a decade, the number of wizard apprentices in the Star Alliance has almost doubled.
That is to say, the time is too short, otherwise the number of wizards would have increased significantly.
In addition, the expansion of territory also gave the Star Alliance more resource points, including various metal veins and the magic plantations left by Black Sota.
At the same time, the Star Alliance also artificially opened up a large number of secondary magic stone veins in the two planes.
With sufficient supply of resources, the military power of the Star Alliance has expanded rapidly in recent years.
Just three months ago, the Covenant's seventh Golem Army was completed, and now they are working on building the eighth.
The number of Magic Rune Knights has exceeded 200,000, and the legion organization has been officially implemented.
The original corps organization was changed to 10,000 regular members and 40,000 alternate members.
Every five corps make up a legion, which means 50,000 regular members plus 200,000 alternate members.
In the end, a total of four legions were formed.
The redundant candidate members will be temporarily incorporated into the non-staff legion, waiting to be included in the regular force after more magic pattern constructs are equipped.
All in all, the number of candidate members of the Magic Rune Knights has exceeded one million!
"In the next period of time, we will focus on increasing the number of magic pattern constructs produced and converting candidate members into full members as much as possible."
Sunan looked up and said to Liz who was sitting opposite him.
The latter pondered and said, "We have a lot of things to manufacture now. Our logistics force is already operating at full capacity. I am afraid that we cannot devote more energy to manufacturing magic pattern constructs in a short period of time. If you want to obtain more magic pattern constructs, I suggest you purchase them from outside."
"You mean the City of All Things?" Su Nan said, stroking his chin.
The Code of Wisdom has magic pattern constructs on its foreign trade list, but during the war, their own resources are tight and it is impossible for them to allow the Covenant to purchase them in large quantities.
Not to mention other wizarding forces.
Currently, in the entire multiverse, there is only one city called the City of All Things that has the ability to sell large quantities of magic pattern constructs.
Liz nodded and said, "I've sent people to inquire. The major chambers of commerce in Wanwu City, especially the House of Wanwu and Zhenlu Pavilion, have a lot of magic pattern constructs. We can purchase from them. The only problem is that the price is a bit high."
The prices of materials in the City of All Things were originally much higher than the internal transaction prices of the Code of Wisdom. Now that it was wartime, the prices of various materials had soared a lot.
The price of purchasing magic pattern constructs from the City of All Things is much higher than the price of trading with the Code of Wisdom.
But this is not a problem for the Covenant.
Su Nan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, just buy it from Wanwu City."
The Star Alliance doesn't have much else now, but it has enough magic stones.
In a few decades, when the secondary magic stone veins in the Ulan and Xige planes are cultivated and large batches of secondary magic stones are produced, the Star Alliance's magic stone reserves will be even more abundant.
"Don't worry about the magic stones. Just purchase the magic rune constructs and build another magic rune knight corps as soon as possible."
"I see."
Su Nan withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the document in his hand.
In recent years, he has been focusing on training, upgrading the Starlight Wizard Tower and manufacturing enhanced wizard tower facilities. He has no time to continue upgrading the Dusk Valley, so the hatching limit of the creature nest remains the same as before.
More than a decade has passed, and the black wolf pack, which suffered heavy losses in the war, has recovered to its upper limit.
As for the Dusk Wolves, due to the long incubation period, there are only slightly over 400 of them at present, which is still far from the upper limit of 602.
On the other hand, the number of witch hunting troops finally exceeded two thousand, reaching two thousand two hundred and eighty-two.
Including the puppet armies built into all wizard towers of the Star Alliance, the current number of wizard-level puppets in the Star Alliance has exceeded three thousand.
Even among second-rate wizard forces, this number of wizard-level puppets is quite impressive, greatly making up for the shortcoming of the smaller number of wizards in the Star Alliance.
"In another two or three hundred years, when the population advantage of the Ulan plane is fully utilized, the number of wizards in the Star Alliance will at least double."
Su Nan pondered secretly.
"By then, the number of wizards in the Star Alliance will barely catch up with those second-rate wizard forces."
In terms of war creations, the Covenant currently has a total of fifty-six wizard towers.
Among them, including the Starlight Wizard Tower, only four wizard towers were built by the Star Alliance itself, and the rest were captured through wars and then repaired and renovated by themselves.
Looking at the many wizarding forces, the Star Alliance is unique in this regard.
Ordinary wars between wizard forces result in losses and spoils on both sides. Very few are like the Star Alliance, where more and more wizard towers are built as the wars are fought, and the Alliance almost gets rich through war.
Judging from the number of wizard towers alone, the Star Alliance can now be said to be far superior to third-rate wizard forces and comparable to some weaker second-rate wizard forces.
Not to mention that the wizard towers of the Star Alliance have been strengthened, and their combat effectiveness is without exception better than that of wizard towers of the same level! In addition to wizard towers, star fortresses and flying fleets are also the targets that the Star Alliance has focused on investing massive resources in recent years.
Currently, the Star Alliance has a total of 103 star fortresses, nearly twice as many as before the war broke out.
The number of flying fleets also skyrocketed to twenty-three.
Sunan had his own considerations for investing resources primarily in these two types of war creations.
One reason is that the construction time of star fortresses and flying magic ships is much shorter than that of wizard towers, which can quickly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Star Alliance's war creations.
Another one is also to get more wizard towers.
The reason why the Star Alliance has been able to capture so many wizard towers so far is entirely based on the extremely high losses of the Star Fortresses and Flying Magic Ships! In previous wars, the Star Alliance could be said to have exchanged Star Fortresses and Flying Magic Ships for Wizard Towers.
Every time a wizard tower is captured, a large number of star fortresses and flying magic ships are destroyed.
But in Sunan's opinion, this "deal" is totally worth it.
If not for this, the number of wizard towers in the Star Alliance would not have been able to grow so fast.
When he turned to the last page, Su Nan's expression changed slightly.
"There are one hundred and twenty-five dragons. Are their numbers increasing so fast?"
Liz smiled slightly and said, "The number of high-level sub-dragon species evolving has increased significantly in recent years. It should have reached a period of rapid growth."
Su Nan nodded thoughtfully.
The high-level sub-dragon bloodline improvement plan has been implemented for over a thousand years.
The accumulation can be said to be very profound.
Calculating the time, it is time for quantitative change to lead to qualitative change.
It is estimated that there will be more and more high-level sub-dragon species that will achieve evolutionary breakthroughs in the future.
In a few hundred years, the Star Alliance might be able to form a real dragon army.
"In this case, we can invest more resources into the Dragon Forest to speed up the evolution of high-level sub-dragon species." Sunan said.
Liz nodded and said, "I was just about to suggest that."
After discussing the details of the military expansion, Sunan put down the document and said seriously, "The Star Alliance has almost rested. It's time to take the next step."
"With our current strength, it will be no problem to capture the Manro plane." Liz pondered for a moment, "The key is what to do after we capture the Manro plane? Should we support the Ten Thousand Birds?"
The Star Alliance's goal is definitely not just three planes, and they will not stop there even if they conquer the Manro plane.
Having said that, future plans need to be carefully considered.
Supporting the Ten Thousand Birds is not a problem, the key is how to distribute the benefits? The Ten Thousand Birds have invested a huge amount of manpower and resources in the war over the years. If the Star Alliance intervenes at this time, will the Ten Thousand Birds be happy?
Even if all the birds are willing, how should the profits be distributed?
How much pressure will the Star Alliance bear? These need to be discussed in advance by both parties.
After thinking for a moment, Su Nan quickly came up with a plan.
"After conquering the Manro plane, don't rush to support the Ten Thousand Birds for now. Let's see what's going on over there first."
Liz immediately understood what he meant and raised an eyebrow, "Do you want to wait for Wantou Niao to ask for help first?"
Su Nan smiled meaningfully: "It's not a good deal to rush in."
Liz agreed.
Unlike the Star Alliance, the Thousand-Headed Bird was the suppressed party from beginning to end in the war with Black Sota.
Even though the Star Alliance conquered two planes in succession, forcing Blacksota to withdraw some of its troops to support the Manro plane, which actually relieved some of the pressure on the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird, but as time passed, the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird still gradually showed signs of weakness.
Perhaps after a while, the Ten Thousand Birds will have to ask the Star Alliance for help.
Only then, the Star Alliance, as the party being asked for help, would be able to offer a higher price.
And they do so without any pressure.
After all, the original mission of the Star Alliance was to contain the three planes of Ulan, Manro and Xige. Now that it has been exceeded, it has no obligation to help the Ten Thousand Birds.
If Wan Touniao wants their support, he must offer enough benefits.
Even the Code of Wisdom cannot comment on the actions of the Covenant.
Moreover, during this period, the Star Alliance can also integrate the Manro plane and further enhance its strength.
For the Star Alliance right now, what they lack most is time.
With every passing day, the Star Alliance becomes stronger.
As long as they have enough time, they are confident that they can defeat a powerful force like Black Sota in the future.
"Notify them and prepare to march into the Manro plane."
Sunan gave the order.
He returned to the top floor of the wizard tower only after Liz turned around to get busy.
During this period of time, he has been finding time to upgrade the Starlight Wizard Tower bit by bit, including the tower spirit, the maze protective energy field, the floating ring, the central crystal energy transmission system, and various turrets, all of which have been strengthened accordingly.
The current Starlight Wizard Tower has completely surpassed the level of large wizard towers and is on another level entirely.
Even if he is fighting one against five, and facing five large wizard towers at the same time, Sunan believes that he will be the side that wins in the end.
On the front battlefield, unless the True Spirit Wizard takes action to suppress it, the Starlight Wizard Tower will be an invincible weapon of war!
It can be said that a considerable part of the Covenant's powerful strength in war creation comes from the Starlight Wizard Tower.
"Unfortunately, the simplified elemental furnace has reached its limit. The energy supply cannot be upgraded any further. The Starlight Wizard Tower has also reached its limit after being upgraded to this level."
Sunan sighed with some regret.
If you want to go further, you can only wait until you are promoted to a true spirit wizard and start building a floating city.
In the year 2309 of the Astral Calendar, the Star Alliance launched a full-scale attack on the Manro plane.
In just three days, the Covenant army broke through the blockade of the Manro garrison surrounding the Covenant base, and spread out like an ant colony, beginning a siege and plundering campaign with unstoppable force.
The mainstream races in the Manro plane are various giants, and the population is sparse.
There are only about one million people who can be used as combat forces.
Despite their individual strength, they were still being eroded bit by bit by the Covenant's human wave tactics.
The golem legions and war creatures stationed by Blacksota in the Menlo plane are far inferior to the Covenant in terms of combat power in every aspect.
After several head-on clashes with the Covenant, the Black Thunder Tower's golem army and war creatures suffered heavy losses, allowing the Covenant to seize seven more wizard towers.
In the year 2313 of the Astral Calendar, the Star Alliance captured the lair of the Golden Giant Tribe, known as the giant royal family, and successfully defeated the giant forces of the Manro plane.
During this process, the Manro garrison of the Black Sota seemed to have disappeared and did not appear from beginning to end.
In the year 2316 of the Astral Calendar, the Star Alliance completely conquered the Manro plane and brought it under its control.
At this point, the Star Alliance had won a great victory! The news spread, causing quite a stir in the wizarding world.
Less than fifty years after the outbreak of the Wizarding Civil War, the Star Alliance has conquered three planes in succession, more than doubling its territory, and snatched food from the mouth of the tiger, Black Thunder Tower. The courage and strength they displayed are truly impressive.
After conquering the Manro plane, the Star Alliance changed its previous aggressive stance and did not attack other planes of the Black Thunder Tower. Instead, it focused on managing the three conquered planes, which disappointed many people who were planning to watch the Black Thunder Tower show.
In contrast to the Star Alliance, the situation of the Ten Thousand Birds is becoming increasingly difficult.
After discovering that it was impossible to stop the Covenant's offensive, Black Sota decisively abandoned the Manro plane, preserved precious manpower, and turned to the battlefield against the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird.
Thanks to this, the pressure on the ten thousand birds increased instead of decreased.
Especially after the Star Alliance stopped its advance and focused on digesting the results of the battle, Black Sota seemed to smell something and intensified its offensive against the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird without hesitation, as if it wanted to take this opportunity to defeat the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird, or at least weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible.
In this situation, the ten thousand birds couldn't hold on for long.
Less than three years after the Star Alliance conquered the Manro plane, the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird came to the door. (End of this chapter)
