Boom!
A thunderous sound resounded over the town! Dense
spell rays tore through the void and hit the energy field on the surface of the wizard tower almost at the same time. In an instant, large areas of distortion appeared, and the entire force field fluctuated violently, as if it would collapse in the next second.
Faced with the siege of more than 300 magic ships and two star fortresses, the Black Sortie Tower's Wizard Tower finally couldn't hold on after destroying more than 70 magic ships and prepared to break out.
However, just as he was about to take action, the Star Fortress on the left suddenly shot out an extremely dazzling and thick lightning, which hit the wizard tower with a bang!
Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the energy field of the wizard tower collapsed.
"Plasma cannon? Damn it, how can such a cannon be installed on a war artifact that is not even a wizard tower?"
The Black Sortie Wizard in the Wizard Tower roared in shock and anger.
Unfortunately, anger could not change the situation. After losing the energy field, the wizard tower was suddenly exposed to the firepower of many war creatures. In an instant, countless artillery fire swept in, submerging the wizard tower like a torrent!
Despite a desperate counterattack and the destruction of more than a dozen magic ships, the wizard tower eventually fell to the ground with bursts of green smoke.
More than a dozen figures rushed out of the wizard tower, dispersed and flew in all directions.
However, the Star Alliance was well prepared. They heard bursts of wolf howls, and dozens of Dusk Wolves rushed out from all directions, roaring and blocking the wizards of the Black Sota.
Following closely, the Star Alliance wizards also rushed out of the wizard tower and joined the hunt! Under the front and back attacks of the wizards and the Dusk Wolf, more than a dozen Black Soto wizards were quickly wiped out! After putting the exhausted Black Thunder into the space ring, Sherman glanced at the damaged Black Soto wizard tower not far away, and a smile appeared on his face.
"After more than a year of fighting, this is the first time we have captured a wizard tower from the Black Sortie Tower."
Artil came over with a smile on his face.
Xie Man laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do. The Black Cable Tower is too cautious. The Wizard Tower rarely goes out alone, and they flee immediately when they see the situation is not good. If we hadn't set a trap this time, it wouldn't have been so easy to stop them."
They prepared for this operation for more than two months, risking an ambush and wandering alone on the edge of the occupied area in a wizard tower, risking luring the enemy into the trap step by step.
Fortunately, the final result is good.
Although nearly a hundred magic ships were lost, compared to the capture of a small wizard tower, this loss was completely acceptable.
At this time, the battle in the town was nearing its end.
Countless black wolves were running and biting in the town, constantly killing the enemies who were still resisting, and turning a blind eye to the unarmed civilians and surrendered soldiers.
After all the troops were transported into the Ulan plane, the Star Alliance changed its combat mode, using wolf packs and golem legions as the main attacking force, and the Magic Pattern Knights as the auxiliary, to attack the towns in the Ulan plane.
Compared with the Magic Pattern Knight with a longer breeding cycle, the manufacturing (hatching) cycle of the Golem Puppet and the Black Wolf is much shorter, so it is not a big deal even if there are more casualties.
Under the fierce offensive of the Star Alliance regardless of losses, the area occupied by the Star Alliance has expanded nearly four times in the past year! Although this area is less than one percent of the entire Ulan plane, it is already a good record to achieve such a result when the war creations have no advantage and can only rely on ground troops to advance.
After eliminating the last bit of resistance in the town, Sherman left some people to clean up the battlefield, and then returned to the Cold Wind City base with the damaged wizard tower.
“Well done.”
After listening to Sherman and Arthur's reports, Liz smiled and nodded.
The strength of the war creatures of the Star Alliance and the Ulan plane is not much different. The Ulan plane lost a wizard tower, and the Star Alliance will have one more wizard tower after the repair is completed.
The difference between the two small wizard towers is the gain of one and the loss of the other.
After praising Sherman and Arthur for a few words, Liz asked the two to leave and then arranged for people to start repairing the wizard tower.
After doing all this, she came to the laboratory where Su Nan was.
In the center of the spacious laboratory stood a huge turret. The surface of the metal material was covered with dense and strange runes, and various magic gems were inlaid on the nodes where the runes intersected.
Sunan stood next to the turret, seemingly making final adjustments.
"Is this the newly developed pulse cannon Type III?" Liz asked with interest.
Su Nan had known about her arrival for a long time, and replied without even looking up: "Yes, it will be completed today."
The synthesis of Pulse Cannon Type III is not difficult at all. What is really time-consuming is to produce a sufficient number of pulse cannons for synthesis and to test their compatibility with the Starlight Wizard Tower.
Today's Type III Pulse Cannon has become Sunan's best choice after many adjustments.
The power of a pulse cannon is enough to reduce the protective energy field of a large wizard tower's maze (standard, unreinforced) by more than 80%.
If it were a medium-sized wizard tower, one shot would be enough to destroy the energy field and the tower!
Its power is completely incomparable to the pulse cannon installed in ordinary large wizard towers!
However, with such amazing power, the energy consumption it brings is also amazing.
Even with the energy supply of a simplified elemental furnace, it can only support three launches of the Pulse Cannon III at most.
After three times, the remaining energy is less than 10%, and it has basically lost its combat effectiveness.
Sunan and Liz had mentioned the power of the Pulse Cannon III. When Liz heard that this new weapon had been completed, her eyes lit up slightly.
"With this weapon, we can change the current stalemate."
Su Nan nodded slightly, and then said: "In fact, considering the cost-effectiveness, the Pulse Cannon III is a bit of a waste of energy. If the power of the Pulse Cannon III is appropriately reduced, and other turrets are upgraded and improved, combined with the energy field, and if we fight steadily on the battlefield, the results we will achieve will definitely be better than simply using the Pulse Cannon III."
Although the Pulse Cannon Type III is powerful, it only has three uses, after which the Starlight Wizard Tower basically loses its combat effectiveness.
If the energy consumed by the three Pulse Cannons Type III was used more evenly in attack and defense, the Starlight Wizard Tower would surely achieve more brilliant results in a single battle than destroying three wizard towers.
However, to achieve this level, other facilities in the Starlight Wizard Tower must be further transformed.
The time is too short and Southern Jiangsu does not have time to carry out a comprehensive upgrade and transformation, so this method is the only option.
Not long after, Sunan completed the last bit of adjustment and ordered Tower Spirit No. 3 to control the golem to carry away the turret and install it in the wizard tower. Then he asked Liz:
"How's the war going lately?"
"It's going well. Sheman and Atil just seized a small wizard tower. After spending a few months repairing it, we will have another wizard tower."
"What about the losses of ground troops?"
"We have sufficient resources. We can produce golem puppets continuously. The Golem Corps has not lost much manpower. The wolf pack has suffered heavy losses in recent fierce battles. The death rate of black wolves has far exceeded the hatching rate."
"What about the damage to Black Soto Tower?"
Liz said without thinking: "Just a little more than us."
There are no biological nests in the Ulan plane, and it is impossible to reap huge profits from the magic stone trade like the Star Alliance. Relying solely on the resources provided by this plane and the headquarters, it is absolutely impossible to produce troops as crazy as the Star Alliance, and the fewer deaths in the army, the less.
As time goes by, the military strength of both sides will only gradually increase.
Even without the Pulse Cannon III, Sunan believed that in a hundred years or so, the Covenant would be able to gain a comprehensive advantage in the war.
Once the wizard civil war is over, maybe we can capture the Ulan plane.
But he didn't want to wait until then.
"It's time to intensify the offensive." said Sunan.
Liz said solemnly, "We have found out the location of Wulan City. It is more than 5,000 kilometers southwest of the occupied area. As long as we attack there, we will definitely force the garrison of the Wulan plane to engage in direct combat with us. Once we capture Wulan City and destroy the command center, the enemy will fall into chaos in a short time."
Sunan said without hesitation: "Then attack Wulan City!"
As the order was issued, Lingfeng City quickly became lively.
A large number of magic ships and star fortresses set out from Lingfeng City, guarding the Wizard Tower and heading straight for Ulan City.
Tens of thousands of ground troops also marched towards Ulan City in a mighty manner.
Ulan City learned of the Star Alliance's actions at the first opportunity. It mobilized its troops to prepare for battle and convened senior officials to discuss strategy.
"What is the Covenant planning to do?"
"Are they planning to capture Ulan City?"
"Not likely. It's not like they haven't tried before."
Over the past year or so, several full-scale battles broke out between the Star Alliance and Ulan City, but neither side could do anything to the other and only lost troops in vain.
Therefore, the Covenant has mostly used its more advantageous ground forces to advance, and recently it has rarely deployed a large number of war creatures at the same time.
The sudden incident of this happening by the Star Alliance is really confusing.
Luke raised his hand to interrupt the conversation and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the Star Alliance's purpose is, since they want to fight, we can't retreat. Wulan City is our base camp. Could it be that they are afraid of the Star Alliance?"
Everyone thought the same and stopped hesitating and volunteered to fight.
Soon, many wizard towers and Black Fence ships rose above the city of Ulan.
At the same time, a large number of golem puppets and knights also poured out of the city, lined up on the plains, and were ready for battle.
The golem army was located in the center of the array, with countless knights on both sides riding beasts that looked similar to horses but had scaly limbs.
These powerful knights were dressed in fine armor, holding fine steel swords, with high morale and exuding awe-inspiring pressure.
"Is that the Fire Scale Knight of Ulan City?"
Inside the wizard tower, Sunan looked at the elite cavalry regiment displayed on the light screen with an interested expression.
Over the past year, he has spent most of his time on the synthetic pulse cannon, occasionally paying attention to the battle situation and the overall strategic direction. He has rarely set foot on the battlefield, and this is the first time he has seen the Fire Scale Knights.
"That's right." Liz said, "These Fire Scale Knights have the power of a great knight. The Fire Scale Beasts they ride are no weaker than Black Rock Leopards. Moreover, all of them are equipped with magic pattern constructs. In terms of combat power, they are not much different from the Magic Pattern Knights."
The knight legions cultivated by wizard forces are basically equipped with magic pattern constructs and exotic beast mounts as standard, and generally possess legendary combat power.
The Star Alliance's Magic Rune Knights are not unique. If there is any advantage, it is that a higher proportion of knights are equipped with second- and third-level magic rune constructs.
After all, the military expenditure is enough!
While Sunan and Liz were talking, the Covenant army had completed their rest and formation.
Seeing this, Sunan immediately gave the order to attack.
Woo woo!
A loud horn sounded, echoing across the plain.
As the sound echoed, the Covenant army began to advance slowly, like a huge beast crushing towards them.
At the same time.
A deep and deep voice sounded above the heads of the Ulan City army.
"attack!"
The next moment, war drums were beaten on the walls of Ulan City.
The army began to move slowly, gradually accelerated, and rushed towards the enemy with an overwhelming momentum.
The two armies collided fiercely like two raging torrents, blood splattered in an instant, bones and flesh flew everywhere! Deafening shouts of killing suddenly rose to the sky!
Looking down from the sky, the front rows of the two armies have become a melee, and the fight is as brutal as a meat grinder!
At the same time, the war creatures in the sky also began to clash, pouring artillery rays at each other.
Almost as soon as they came into contact, dozens of magic ships on the Alliance side collapsed and disintegrated.
And there was also a huge Black Cable ship falling to the ground in flames in the Black Cable Tower.
Looking at the Covenant's lineup that was no different from the previous one, a hint of doubt flashed in Luke's eyes.
He thought that Xingmeng had some hidden trick up its sleeve when it took the initiative to attack Ulan City, but looking at the opponent's lineup, that didn't seem to be the case.
"It's probably just a test from the Covenant."
Luke was completely relieved and focused on commanding the battle.
The Star Alliance's offensive has been getting more and more fierce recently. Since the other party has taken the initiative to come to our door today, we must take this opportunity to weaken their strength.
While the war was in full swing, the Starlight Wizard Tower always stayed at the back, suspended high in the sky, motionless, with no signs of movement at all.
Sunan stared at the wizard tower in the distance without blinking.
It was a large wizard tower, and the surrounding wizard towers protected it in the center like stars surrounding the moon, even the other large wizard tower was no exception.
If nothing unexpected happens, the people staying in the wizard tower should be the high-ranking officials of Ulan City.
Sunan waited patiently, watching as beams of artillery fire passed through the array of wizard towers and Blacklink battleships, occasionally landing on the large wizard tower, gradually depleting the durability of the energy field.
Thinking it was about time, he finally opened his mouth and gave orders.
"No. 1, activate the pulse cannon type III!"
[Received the order, activated the pulse cannon type III. ]
Suddenly, tiny dots of starlight appeared on the top of the Starlight Wizard Tower. The light quickly expanded and turned into a dazzling ball of light like the sun.
The next second, a beam of extremely bright light suddenly shot out, piercing through the void like lightning, and in the blink of an eye it crossed a distance of several thousand meters and accurately hit the heavily guarded large wizard tower! In the shocked and stunned eyes of the crowd, the energy field around the large wizard tower twisted for a moment, and then suddenly collapsed! "How is this possible?!"
Seeing this scene, Luke suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost. (End of this chapter)
