Chapter 74 Military Achievements (Second Update)
Chapter 74
Lynn briefly recounted his experiences and was full of curiosity about the subsequent developments of the war.
He only participated in the first half of the war, while Sonya participated in the entire war until now, so the information she knew was naturally comprehensive and complete.
Sonya did not refuse and began to narrate everything that happened from her perspective.
Lynn, on the other hand, organized the perspectives of both parties and eventually came up with a comprehensive overall concept.
At first, the Crucible continued to carry out the "Crucible War" every ten years or so, with the Crucible as the center, dispersing the battle lines and declaring war on the surrounding major supernatural forces.
However, everything has changed since the disastrous failure of the Nightshade Bunker and the Bitterheart Sect's attacks.
According to the intelligence compiled by Lin En, after he sent back the news of the failure of Night Shadow Bunker, the Lord of the Forge who was on expedition to another world seemed to deliberately interrupt the expedition and return to the wizarding world in person.
Afterwards, the Lord of the Furnace quickly recalled the Furnace armies from other fronts, concentrated all forces on the Green Island Forest, and launched a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of it.
From that moment on, the form of warfare in the Crucible changed completely - it was no longer an aggressive war every ten years or so, but a protracted offensive war against the Great Forest of the Emerald Isle.
As for why the Lord of the Forge would return in person and put all his efforts into attacking the Great Forest of the Emerald Isle, it all had to do with the Black Dragon Witch Astrid.
It is said that after the black dragon witch Astrid fell into the Great Forest of Green Island, she was suspected to be controlled by the Kuxin Sect, Nightshadow Bunker and some secret forces.
At the same time, a complex and powerful witchcraft defense line was built outside the Green Island Forest, preventing outside armies from entering easily.
The Lord of the Forge obviously could not tolerate such a situation, especially since Astrid was likely to have some special relationship with him - according to rumors, she might be the Lord of the Forge's daughter.
In order to rescue the black dragon witch Astrid, the Lord of the Forge made extensive use of the resources and knowledge of the Forge, and greatly stimulated the offensive will of the Forge army in the form of "war rewards".
The protracted battle in the Green Island Forest had thus begun.
Countless wizards and apprentices died in the forest, and the number of casualties was too great to be counted.
Even those who managed to survive were mostly disabled and exhausted both physically and mentally.
In the end, the Lord of the Furnace did not hesitate to teleport the entire furnace directly to the Green Island Forest. With the terrifying power of the furnace, he broke the strange witchcraft formation outside the Green Island Forest in one fell swoop.
This war entered a new stage with the breaking of the outer witchcraft formation.
A powerful white-robed wizard became the leader, commanding the Crucible Army to advance deeper into the heart of the Green Island Forest, and the battle became increasingly fierce.
Lynn fell into deep thought.
He gradually realized that the real turning point of this war began with the defeat of the black dragon witch Astrid.
Based on the current clues, it is not difficult to speculate that it is very likely that the enemies of the Lord of the Forge carefully planned to attack Astrid in order to lure the Lord of the Forge to appear in the Great Forest of Emerald Island.
The method of sending the furnace to the battle front is more like a high-risk gamble...
Right now, the Crucible army has broken through the outer defenses. However, the deeper they go, the more dangerous it becomes, and a real war may break out at any time.
Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He finally figured out the situation he was in, but with it came an even stronger sense of urgency.
Originally, in Lin En's idea, he should be safe staying in The Crucible, the headquarters of the fourth-level Morning Star Wizard.
There are abundant resources here, so he can practice meditation steadily, improve his strength, and eventually break through to become a formal wizard at the right time.
However, today's reality completely disrupted his plans.
The enemy of the Lord of the Forge was apparently hiding deep in the Great Forest of the Green Island, and the entire Forge was pushed to the forefront of the battlefield.
If this war fails, the furnace itself will probably perish here completely...
"I don't want to experience the feeling of losing a war again..."
"I just want to calm down and practice, why do you always force me..."
Lin En frowned, his heart filled with worry.
But even so, he had no choice.
As a servant of the furnace, he is firmly bound by the master-servant contract signed between him and the furnace.
If he tried to escape from the furnace, the backlash of the contract would be enough to take his life in an instant.
The punishment of the furnace had not yet come, but his death was already determined.
Just when Lin En was worried about the current situation, Sonya beside him saw him lost in thought and thought he was attracted by the war and military exploits, so she laughed.
But her laughter, mixed with the stitches on her skin, was eerily hoarse and leaky, which made people shudder.
"Lin, this is your only chance in this life." Sonya said, with a hint of persuasion in her voice, "The rewards for military merits in the Crucible are now much more generous than before. Military merits can be exchanged for resources and extraordinary knowledge. This kind of treatment is unimaginable in other wizard forces."
She paused, her eyes flickering with a glimmer, and continued:
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I can tell you that it's not just people from our Forge who are participating in this war. There are also many wizards from outside who are attracted by the military exploits and join the battle."
"As long as you accumulate enough military merits, you can exchange it for wizard inheritance, witchcraft templates, or anything else..."
When Lin En heard that military merits could be exchanged for anything, his eyes suddenly lit up.
What he was most worried about was the master-servant contract signed with the Furnace.
If his military exploits could release him from his contract, then his biggest shackles would be removed.
By then, no matter what fate he would face after the furnace, he could withdraw from it without any burden. No matter what the furnace was like, he could just leave freely.
"Sonia, can our military exploits... be exchanged for the master-servant contract we signed?"
Lynn asked, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Sonya frowned slightly when she heard this, and seemed a little confused about Lin En's question, but she still answered patiently:
"Of course you can, but compared to exchanging things like this, I suggest you prioritize exchanging for extraordinary knowledge or precious resources. After all, once you break through and become a formal wizard, you can directly sign a higher-level contract with the furnace..."
Sonya's tone was somewhat suggestive.
However, after hearing these words, Lin En couldn't help feeling helpless.
Naturally, he also hoped that he could break through to the level of a formal wizard as soon as possible, so that all problems would be solved.
However, the reality is obviously not that simple.
Although he had great confidence in becoming a formal wizard, it was obviously impossible to reach that level in a short period of time.
After all, he had just broken through to the third-level apprentice not long ago. Whether it was the improvement of mental power, the accumulation of extraordinary knowledge, or the practice in other aspects, there was still a big gap between him and a formal wizard.
However, Lynn never doubted his future.
He firmly believed that as long as he was given enough time to develop steadily, the threshold to becoming a formal wizard, although high, would not be an unattainable realm of nothingness.
However, his concern is based on the uncontrollability of time.
As the war progresses, the situation of the Crucible becomes more and more complicated. The situation may get out of control at any time, and he may be forced to be drawn into this vortex and become a victim...
