The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 287: Let Star Alliance Show Off for a While Longer

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy.

The wizards were all confused and uncertain.

Luke's face was as dark as if it were about to drip with water.

Previously, a defeated wizard who had escaped from the Earth Crystal Dimension had mentioned that Star Alliance had transported an unusually large number of troops into the Earth Crystal Dimension, and it was likely that they had mastered some form of rapid troop transportation. Luke had not taken this seriously at the time, but now, he suddenly realized just how exaggerated Star Alliance's so-called rapid transportation method was.

In less than half a day, they had transported at least six to seventy thousand golem puppets.

Such a method used for a dimensional invasion could catch any opponent off guard, just like they had now.

Once Star Alliance had quickly secured a foothold and seized enough land as a forward base, it would be several times more difficult to push them back.

With this thought, Luke's face grew even darker.

Fortunately, he knew this was not the time to be angry. He took a deep breath to calm himself before giving a firm command.

"Move out!"

With a hum, in a dazzling light of magic, numerous wizard towers and Black Sotar giant warships shot toward the horizon like flowing lights.

Gale Fortress.

After swiftly taking Gale Fortress, Star Alliance turned it into the center of their forward base. Thousands of flying magic ships hovered over the city, casting large shadows that made the hearts of those below tremble.

The streets of the city were deserted as local residents hid in their homes, while fully armored magic rune knights and golem puppets walked through the streets.

Above the former lord's residence of Gale Fortress, thirteen wizard towers stood tall. In the central Starshine Wizard Tower, the top officials of Star Alliance gathered, joyfully listening to the continuous battle reports coming from below.

"Brilliant City has been captured, two level-one Black Sotar wizards killed, over three thousand golem puppets and over forty-three thousand human troops wiped out."

"Iron Tower City has been captured, three level-one Black Sotar wizards killed, over two thousand golem puppets and thirty-five thousand human troops wiped out."

"A Black Sotar giant warship has been discovered near Cotton Cloud City, and the third flying fleet has destroyed it."

"Good, remember to recover the wreckage!"

Su Nan waved his hand, signaling the reporting magic rune knight to retreat, then turned to Lize.

"How many towns have we captured so far?"

"Twenty-five!"

Lize reported the progress calmly.

"Centered around Gale Fortress, all the towns within a 600-kilometer radius have fallen into our hands."

"At present, Ulan Dimension has yet to deploy its main army. Our forces have a significant advantage over the defending troops in these towns, so our casualties are minimal."

"As of now, one golem corps, three large golem legions, and three magic rune knight regiments have been sent to Ulan Dimension. We expect that by the day after tomorrow, the golem legions and magic rune knight regiments will be fully deployed, and in another two days, the black wolf packs will be transported into Ulan Dimension."

"Excellent." Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.

The senior officials of Star Alliance also had bright smiles on their faces.

No matter how the invasion war unfolds in the future, at least in the early stages, Star Alliance's invasion has been quite smooth.

With a firm foothold now, the worst-case scenario is a stalemate with Ulan Dimension, but the minimum goal of restraining Ulan Dimension has already been perfectly achieved.

"Within half a day, we should be able to capture all the towns within a thousand miles of Gale Fortress."

"The Star Eye network and teleportation network are already being set up."

"In addition, scouts sent out have reported that large numbers of golem puppets and human cavalry are heading towards us. If nothing goes wrong, they should be the golem legions and Fire Fang Knights defending Ulan Dimension. We will likely engage them in battle within five hours."

"Quite fast," Su Nan raised his eyebrows.

In less than a day, they had rapidly mobilized troops, and their speed had been swift. It seemed that Black Sotar had also been preparing for war recently, which allowed them to respond so quickly.

Su Nan pondered, "Since the two main armies have already been dispatched, Black Sotar's wizard towers and giant warships should also be on their way. A tough battle is about to begin!"

The faces of the others also grew serious.

As Su Nan had expected, an hour later, scouts reported that large numbers of wizard towers and Black Sotar giant warships had been spotted more than 1,500 kilometers away from Gale Fortress.

Su Nan immediately gave the order to move out.

Thirteen wizard towers and over forty Starry Fortresses, under the protection of countless flying magic ships, surged toward the distant battlefield.

At this time, Star Alliance's occupied territory had expanded to over 800 kilometers from Gale Fortress.

The Star Alliance army, which had just captured Yaken City, had not yet had time to rest when they suddenly saw large numbers of wizard towers and Black Sotar giant warships appear in the distance, quickly reaching the town above.

In the next moment, countless spell rays descended from the sky, killing many legendary golem puppets and magic rune knights.

Immediately after, large numbers of golem puppets flew out from the wizard towers and Black Sotar giant warships, landing in the city and starting to slaughter the Star Alliance forces.

When the Star Alliance wizard towers arrived at Yaken City, the scene they witnessed was their own army being mercilessly slaughtered.

Black Sotar immediately noticed the arrival of the Star Alliance reinforcements. As enemies meet, they grew even more furious, and both sides launched their attacks at once.

In an instant, countless rays of cannon fire collided in midair, forming an intricate web of death!

The deafening explosions mixed with the dazzling light of magic almost covered the entire sky!

Black Sotar had sixteen wizard towers in total, including two large wizard towers, five medium-sized wizard towers, and nine small wizard towers.

Star Alliance had 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, Star Alliance was undoubtedly at a disadvantage compared to Black Sotar.

However, Star Alliance's Starry Fortresses outnumbered Black Sotar's, and with the support of flying fleets, their overall combat power was not weaker than Black Sotar's.

For a time, both sides were engaged in intense combat, with no clear winner.

"Sure enough, it's hard to gain an advantage in war constructs," Su Nan observed quietly.

The long-range firepower of Starshine Wizard Tower had not yet been fully upgraded and wasn't enough to establish overwhelming dominance on the frontlines. Su Nan didn't plan to make Starshine Wizard Tower stand out too much at this stage to avoid drawing the enemy's attention. Therefore, he kept things within a reasonable level.

After a fierce battle lasting more than half an hour, both sides suffered losses, and the energy in the wizard towers was running low. Both sides reluctantly ceased fighting.

Watching the Black Sotar wizard towers and giant warships gradually retreat, Lize glanced at the battered Yaken City and murmured, "We'll have to proceed cautiously from here on."

Su Nan nodded slightly.

Black Sotar had now reacted, and Star Alliance's war constructs couldn't gain an advantage. Relying solely on ground troops, the advancement speed would definitely slow down.

But it didn't matter. The Pulse Cannons were already in production, and in a year or two, they would have upgraded Pulse Cannons III, which could break the current deadlock.

"I'll focus on improving the Pulse Cannons. The command of the battle is in your hands," Su Nan said, transferring the control of Starshine Wizard Tower to Lize.

"No need to rush to expand the occupied area; the key is to proceed steadily."

Lize had already understood Su Nan's intentions and nodded solemnly.

"I understand. From now on, we'll focus on consolidating our gains. I'll complete the Star Eye network and teleportation network in the occupied areas as quickly as possible."

Dark Dragon Dimension.

At Black Sotar's headquarters, towers rose high and buildings of all shapes stood side by side, stretching out for thousands of meters. From a distance, it resembled a giant black dragon coiled on the ground.

Wizards in robes hurried through the buildings, the air filled with an ominous atmosphere.

In the tallest black tower at the center, which rose over a thousand meters, a spacious and bright conference hall was filled with dozens of wizards discussing how to deal with the sudden war.

"I told you, we shouldn't have delayed things. If we had started the war earlier, we wouldn't be in such a passive position now!"

"It's easy to say, but the Pale Mask and Flame Pattern associations are greedy, wanting to take more than half of the profits. If we hadn't fought for it, wouldn't we be giving it all to them?"

"Alright, arguing about this won't help. The priority now is to find a way to fight back!"

"What's the current situation?"

"Ten Thousand Birds and Star Alliance have simultaneously attacked the twenty-two dimensions we control. The enemy is aggressive, and they're not easy to handle."

"What about the three lords?"

"The three lords are trapped in the Realm of Truth by the true spirit wizards of the Wisdom Codex and Ten Thousand Birds. With Maisha Edwards involved, they are unlikely to escape in the short term."

When Maisha Edwards' name was mentioned, the hall fell into brief silence. Everyone furrowed their brows.

Although Maisha Edwards had just recently entered the ranks of true spirit wizards, and could be considered a newcomer among true spirits, her strength far surpassed that of many seasoned true spirit wizards who had been in the position for thousands of years.

It was said that she was once forced to flee Starshine Continent by a true spirit wizard from the Dark Abyss. After she ascended to true spirit, she sought revenge, and in a direct confrontation with that true spirit wizard, she severely wounded him, nearly killing him.

After that battle, Maisha Edwards' reputation echoed throughout the entire wizarding world, and her strength was recognized by many true spirit wizards.

With her involvement in the restraint, it was unlikely the three lords could break free.

However, it was common knowledge that in wizarding conflicts, the primary task was to restrain the true spirit wizards, so the others weren't too surprised. They frowned slightly and continued discussing.

"The priority now is to concentrate forces against Ten Thousand Birds. Among the nineteen dimensions they're attacking, several of our core dimensions are included, and we absolutely cannot afford to lose them!"

"In my opinion, we should deal with the weaker ones first. After we've dealt with Star Alliance, we can focus all our efforts on Ten Thousand Birds!"

"No, Star Alliance is not something we can handle quickly, and if during this process the other dimensions can't hold off Ten Thousand Birds, what do we do?"

"Exactly, the defenses in Xige, Manro, and Ulan are more than enough to deal with Star Alliance. We can focus our forces to handle Ten Thousand Birds first. Ten Thousand Birds are the real threat!"

The group debated, each holding their ground.

Finally, a man sitting at the head of the table coughed, and the hall instantly fell silent.

Everyone turned their gaze to the man at the head.

There were only a few true spirit heirs in Black Sotar, and among them, Elliot and Lucius were the leaders.

After Elliot died in the Earth Crystal Dimension, Lucius became the highest-ranking true spirit heir in Black Sotar.

At this moment, with the three true spirit wizards trapped in the Realm of Truth, Lucius was the highest authority in Black Sotar, holding the most weight.

Looking around the room, Lucius spoke slowly.

"I've just received news. Although Star Alliance is attacking three dimensions at once, their main target is Ulan Dimension. They've only sent a small amount of troops to the other two dimensions."

Upon hearing this, the others exchanged puzzled glances.

One wizard hesitated and asked, "What's Star Alliance up to? Do they plan to conquer Ulan Dimension?"

In their expectation, Star Alliance's main role should have been to restrain part of Black Sotar's forces, easing the pressure on Ten Thousand Birds. For this, they should have balanced their forces across the three dimensions.

But from the current situation, it seemed Star Alliance wasn't doing this and was instead focusing on attacking Ulan Dimension.

The only explanation for this was that they intended to conquer Ulan Dimension.

"Star Alliance is getting too greedy, aren't they? Don't they fear overextending themselves?"

"Where does their confidence come from?"

"They're too arrogant!"

Lucius raised his hand, interrupting the discussion, and said slowly:

"Luke reported to me that Star Alliance has mastered a method for rapidly transporting troops, which caught Luke off guard in the initial stages of the invasion. In just three days, they've captured nearly 80,000 square kilometers of territory."

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected Star Alliance to be so formidable!

A wizard said uncertainly, "What about Ulan Dimension?"

Lucius waved his hand, cutting off the question. "Don't worry. Star Alliance only gained an advantage through surprise, but after Luke responded, he mobilized troops to contain Star Alliance's expansion. Although we can't expel them for now, we won't let them expand further."

Upon hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

As long as Ulan Dimension wasn't at risk of falling, things were manageable.

Lucius said with a blank expression:

"Star Alliance does have some strength, but that's about it. It's nothing to worry about."

"Our focus should still be on Ten Thousand Birds!"

"Actually, this works out well for us. We don't need to face the Wisdom Codex directly; dealing with Ten Thousand Birds is not that difficult."

"If we can defeat Ten Thousand Birds, we can take a step further and shorten the gap with larger wizard factions!"

Upon hearing Lucius' words, the others exchanged glances, and no further objections were raised. They all nodded in agreement.

"Lucius is right!"

"Let's focus on dealing with Ten Thousand Birds first!"

"Let Star Alliance show off for a while longer."
