"There is no change in the dragon army at the moment. There are still fifty-eight of them."
Liz continued, interrupting Sunan's thoughts.
When Su Nan came to his senses, he was not surprised.
After all, it was only two short years, so it was normal that no high-level dragon species had made a breakthrough in evolution.
"What about the Magic Pattern Knights and the Witch Hunting Corps?"
"After the battle for the God Corpse, we purchased a large amount of materials for making magic pattern constructs from the Wisdom Codex. We increased the manufacturing of magic pattern constructs as you instructed, and the progress is very good. Now the number of official members of the Magic Pattern Knights has exceeded 100,000, and the total number of candidate members has increased to more than 700,000."
One hundred thousand official magic pattern knights are equivalent to one hundred thousand legendary combat forces.
In some less developed smaller planes, such as the Starlight Continent a thousand years ago, it would be enough to conquer the entire plane.
Not to mention that there are more than 700,000 knights or grand knights as candidate members.
In terms of combat power alone, the current Magic Pattern Knights are equivalent to three or four armies.
Liz then added: "As for the Witch Hunting Corps, the current total number of puppets is around 2,300."
Sunan's expected target for the witch hunting army is tens of thousands of people, and two thousand three hundred puppets are still a long way from the goal.
However, considering that it has only been two years since the end of the battle for the divine corpse, the number of witch hunting legions has doubled, which is already very good.
Besides, the Star Alliance has more than just the Witch Hunting Corps, a wizard-level puppet corps. There is also the Starlight Wizard Tower's built-in puppet corps.
The number of its wizard-level puppets also increased to more than 700, including the Supreme Golem, a third-level wizard-level combat force.
All in all, the Star Alliance now has more than three thousand wizard-level puppets, far surpassing the general third-rate wizard forces.
The reason why there was such an astonishing increase in just two years was that the Star Alliance invested most of the profits it gained from the battle for the God's Corpse into this.
After listening to Liz's summary of the expansion of the Covenant's military power, Sunan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
In general, the military strength of the Star Alliance has improved significantly compared to when it participated in the battle for the God's Corpse.
"What are your plans for the attack on Black Soto?" Liz asked seriously, "Although the Star Alliance army has expanded a lot, it is still a bit difficult to attack three planes at the same time."
Sunan pondered and said, "First, focus on the Wulan plane, and keep the other two planes under control. After conquering the Wulan plane, we can deal with the other two planes."
Li Ze heard Sunan's intention to defeat them one by one, and asked in surprise: "Are you really going to take down these three planes?"
Sunan smiled and said, "It's so hard to get this opportunity. It would be a waste if we don't take the opportunity to expand the Star Alliance's territory."
In fact, from a safety perspective, the best approach for the Star Alliance is to only tie down the forces of the three planes of Ulan, Xige and Manro, so that Black Sota cannot withdraw forces from these three planes to participate in the war, and there is no need to go to war with these three planes with all their strength.
Anyway, the Code of Wisdom only requires the Star Alliance to contain the three planes, and does not require them to capture them.
In this way, the Star Alliance can suffer less damage in the war.
But in this case, the Covenant can basically not expect to gain much from this war.
This is undoubtedly inconsistent with Sunan's original goal of using the war to increase its strength.
There are countless planes in the multiverse, but those with high enough concentration of energy particles and abundant resources are very rare, and they are basically controlled by various forces.
Under normal circumstances, if the Star Alliance wants to expand its territory, it can only persevere in searching for a suitable new plane.
This is not an easy thing to do.
After all, there are so many forces watching. Once a new plane rich in resources is discovered, it will immediately attract competition from many forces.
The other method, of course, is to seize territory from other forces.
For example, the twenty-two planes controlled by the Blacksota are all planes with high concentrations of energy particles and rich resources.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Star Alliance to snatch the plane from the Black Sota.
But now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
With the Ten Thousand Birds tying up most of the Black Sota's forces, the Star Alliance can take advantage of this opportunity to take over the three planes of Ulan, Xige and Manro.
Once successful, the Star Alliance will control five planes, and after the wizard civil war is over, it will most likely become a second-rate wizard force.
Liz naturally understood this truth, but taking over the three planes of Blacksota was both difficult and risky.
But since Sunan had already made the decision, she didn't say anything more.
After all, Su Nan has never let her down so far.
Li Ze was responsible for coordinating the war preparations, while Sunan came to the laboratory and began to think about the next arrangements.
In fact, he was very clear about what Liz was worried about.
Even if what they have to face next are only the three planes controlled by Blacksota, the combat power of the Star Alliance is still not an advantage.
If the Covenant does not want the upcoming war to end in a stalemate, it must have a trump card that can turn the tide on the battlefield.
Looking at the current combat power of the Star Alliance, the only one that can barely meet this standard is the Starlight Wizard Tower.
After Sunan's continuous upgrades and renovations, the Starlight Wizard Tower is superior to ordinary large wizard towers in terms of tower spirits, elemental pools, maze-lock protective energy fields, and long-range firepower strikes.
Even if he was fighting one against two on the front battlefield, facing two large wizard towers, Sunan was confident that he could win.
But that's not enough! "It would be best if we could strengthen the Starlight Wizard Tower to a higher level!"
Sunan summoned the three-dimensional model of the wizard tower and fell into deep thought as he looked at the illusory light and shadow in front of him.
At this point, it is actually very difficult for the Starlight Wizard Tower to move to the next level.
The reason is still energy limitation.
Whether it is the protective energy field of the maze or the long-range firepower strike, they have now been upgraded and strengthened to the limit that the wizard tower can bear.
Further upgrades are possible, but that would exceed the energy load of the wizard tower, causing more disadvantages than advantages.
As for the element pool, it is now approaching its limit due to the size of the wizard tower, and it is difficult to synthesize and strengthen it.
Unless it is replaced with a more efficient energy supply device.
Such as the elemental furnace!
In fact, Sunan had the idea of making a simple version of the elemental furnace before.
The two most critical materials for making an elemental furnace are magic stone essence and elemental source crystal.
The former he could easily synthesize himself.
The latter will only be formed with a certain probability of condensing essence when the elemental giant elder dies.
Although the "explosion rate" is extremely low, with his current strength, it is only a matter of time before he can enter the depths of the elemental space and obtain it.
The real problem facing us is that we still don't have the design drawings for the 'Elemental Furnace'.
Su Nan has been asking people to keep an eye on whether there are wizards in the Star Tower of All Things City who would take out the elemental furnace as a bet, but nothing has been found so far.
"It seems that we can only start from the Code of Wisdom."
"Sunan!"
As soon as they met, Amy flew onto Su Nan's shoulder, hugged his neck with her two paws, and meowed happily.
"It's been so long since we last met, why don't you come see me?"
Facing the little guy's complaints, Sunan smiled slightly, touched its head and said:
"The Wisdom Code Headquarters is not accessible to outsiders. If you want to play with me or Hidden Dragon in the future, just come to Starlight Continent directly."
After comforting Amy, Sunan turned to look at Mai Yisha.
"Lady Maisha, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
After not seeing her for more than two hundred years, Maisha looked unchanged and still looked like a quiet girl.
As his strength increased, Sunan could increasingly feel the amazing energy contained beneath Mai Yisha's calm and solemn appearance.
Just by standing in front of Maisha, he had the illusion that he was facing the boundless starry sky.
This is the True Spirit Wizard, a top existence that can rival the gods!
"I heard from Cyril that you have something to ask me?"
"Yes." Sunan's expression became serious. "I urgently need the design drawings of the elemental furnace. I wonder if Lady Maisha can help me. I can pay the corresponding compensation."
As a true spirit wizard and a great scholar of the Code of Wisdom, Maisha has a very high status. If Sunan had not had a previous friendship with her and was not the controller of an affiliated organization, it would not be easy to meet her.
Therefore, he did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"You want to buy the blueprints from me through the Codex of Wisdom?"
A strange look flashed in Mai Yisha's eyes. She didn't expect that Sunan would meet her for this kind of thing.
But she reacted quickly.
She also knew about the plan of the Star Alliance and the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird to join forces to deal with the Black Thunder Tower. She immediately realized that Sunan wanted the elemental furnace in preparation for the upcoming war, and most likely planned to upgrade and transform the wizard tower.
The Starlight Wizard Tower of the Star Alliance, which is more powerful than the large wizard tower, is no secret within the Code of Wisdom.
Sunan's attainments in the field of magic item manufacturing are as profound as the Codex of Wisdom, and many people inside the company highly respect him.
"That's right." Sunan admitted frankly.
Maisha groaned for a few seconds, shook her head slightly and said, "The design of the elemental furnace is a core secret of any wizard force. It will not be sold to the outside world easily. Even if it is sold, only the finished product will be sold, and the price is not cheap."
Su Nan's eyes flickered when he heard that.
Of course he knew how precious the elemental furnace was.
Although the Star Alliance can afford to buy it, the price to pay for it is absolutely huge.
With war approaching, spending a lot of resources to purchase an elemental furnace is not a wise choice.
Another thing is that even if you buy an elemental furnace, you cannot place it on the Starlight Wizard Tower.
A true elemental furnace can only be supported by war creations of the size of a floating city.
Of course, if you can get your hands on a finished elemental furnace, you can reverse engineer and imitate it.
It is unlikely to create a product with exactly the same functions - without hundreds of masters who are proficient in the crafting of magic items and have devoted thousands of years to studying it, it is impossible to succeed - but the success rate of creating a copycat with a much weaker effect is still very high.
As long as he can successfully imitate the copycat product, no matter how weak the effect is, Sunan can use the magic cube to synthesize and upgrade it to a level that the Starlight Wizard Tower can bear.
However, the process of researching and counterfeiting takes a long time, and whether it can be successfully counterfeited during the war is a question.
After pondering for a moment, Sunan asked inquiringly, "If you just want an energy supply device that is similar in structure to the elemental furnace but has much weaker functions, do you know if there is one in the Wisdom Code?"
Mai Yisha was slightly startled and asked, "What are the specific functional requirements? Are there any standards?"
Su Nan said seriously: "It doesn't matter if the function is weaker than the element pool."
Work done and efficiency are two different things. What he wants is the high efficiency of the elemental furnace. As for the work done, it doesn't matter if it's a little worse, as it can be strengthened through synthesis anyway.
Mai Yisha looked at Sunan in surprise, somewhat puzzled.
What is the use of an energy supply device that is weaker than an element pool?
It has no effect on improving the combat power of the wizard tower.
Although she was puzzled, Maisha did not ask any more questions. She pondered and said, "The Wisdom Code does not have anything similar. But if that is all, I do have some experimental data here. They are the results of my previous research on lower-level substitutes for elemental furnaces. Although I was unable to produce a finished product that can be used in practice, it should be able to give you some inspiration."
Sunan's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Then I would like to thank Lady Mai Yisha first."
"You've done Amy a favor, so I can still help you with a small favor."
Mai Yisha stretched out her hand and more than ten thick books appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Su Nan.
Su Nan didn't look at it carefully and just put it away.
"I heard from Cyril that you will launch an offensive in half a month?"
"That's right."
Su Nan did not hide it either.
Not long ago, he had met with Gavin of the Ten Thousand-Headed Bird to discuss the matter, and they agreed to launch an attack on the planes under the Black Sota at the same time in half a month.
Suddenly, Sunan's expression changed, and he asked tentatively: "I heard that the Wisdom Code will send two True Spirit Wizards to deal with the Black Sota. I wonder who they are?"
Maisha smiled faintly and said, "One is me, and the other is Lord Darius Ward."
really!
Su Nan understood.
He also had some impression of Darius Ward.
This true spirit wizard happened to be Ronin Ward's father.
"Then I would like to wish Lady Maisha a triumphant return."
"Thank you for your kind words."
After leaving the Holy Tree Plane, Sunan couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that he had taken Amy in, which allowed him to get in touch with Mai Yisha.
With a true spirit wizard looking after you and communicating with the Code of Wisdom, many things will become much easier.
Just like this time, if there was no Maisha, he could only purchase the finished elemental furnace first, and then research and imitate the lower-level substitute.
Not only is the cost huge, but it also wastes a lot of time and energy.
Even so, it is not easy to convince the Codex of Wisdom to trade the Elemental Furnace.
"With these experimental data, we should be able to develop a lower-level substitute for the element furnace in a short period of time, and then we can carry out synthetic enhancement."
Sunan was inspired. If this path is successful, the Starlight Wizard Tower can continue to be upgraded and transformed, becoming the Star Alliance's trump card on the front battlefield! Returning to the Starlight Wizard Tower, Sunan immediately devoted himself to the study of experimental data. (End of this chapter)
