Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 489: Chapter 283: Trump Card to Break the Deadlock

"The dragon force currently remains unchanged, still at fifty-eight."

Lize continued, interrupting Sunan’s contemplation.

Sunan was not surprised when he came to his senses.

After all, it’s only been a short two years; it’s normal that there hasn’t been a breakthrough evolution in the high-tier sub-dragon species.

"What about the Demon Pattern Knight Order and the Witch Hunting Legion?"

"After the Divine Corpse battle, we purchased a large amount of materials for making magic pattern armor from the Wisdom Code. Following your instructions, we intensified the production of magic pattern armor. The progress is quite good, and now there are over one hundred thousand official members in the Demon Pattern Knight Order, with the number of reserve members also increased to more than seven hundred thousand."

A hundred thousand official demon pattern knights are equivalent to a hundred thousand legendary combat forces.

In smaller planes with lower development levels, like the Starlight Continent a thousand years ago, it’s enough to conquer the entire plane.

Not to mention the more than seven hundred thousand reserve members at the knight or grand knight level.

Purely in terms of combat power, the current Demon Pattern Knight Order is equivalent to three or four army corps.

Lize then mentioned, "As for the Witch Hunting Legion, the current total number of puppets is around two thousand three hundred."

Sunan’s target for the Witch Hunting Legion is in the tens of thousands; two thousand three hundred puppets still fall significantly short of the goal.

However, considering that it’s only been a short two years since the end of the Divine Corpse battle, the fact that the number of the Witch Hunting Legion has doubled is already quite impressive.

Besides, the Star Alliance not only has the Witch Hunting Legion as a wizard-level puppet force but also the built-in puppet legion of the Starlight Wizard Tower.

The number of wizard-level puppets similarly increased to over 700, including Supreme Golem, a level 3 wizard-level combat force.

In total, the Star Alliance now possesses over three thousand wizard-level puppets, far surpassing a typical third-rate wizard influence.

Such an astonishing increase within just two years is because the Star Alliance invested most of the gains from the Divine Corpse battle into this effort.

After hearing Lize’s summary of the Star Alliance’s military expansion, Sunan showed a satisfied smile.

Overall, compared to when they participated in the Divine Corpse battle, the Star Alliance’s military strength has indeed improved significantly.

"What are your plans for the attack on Black Rope Tower?" Lize asked seriously, "Although the Star Alliance army has expanded quite a bit, attacking three planes simultaneously is still quite challenging."

Sunan pondered, "Let’s focus our main efforts on the Wulan Plane for now, and simply contain the other two planes. Once we capture the Wulan Plane, then we’ll deal with the other two."

Lize noticed Sunan’s intent to tackle each target one by one and asked in surprise, "You really intend to capture these three planes?"

Sunan smiled and said, "It’s not every day you get an opportunity like this. It would be a waste not to expand the Star Alliance’s territory."

Actually, from a cautious viewpoint, the best strategy for the Star Alliance would be to merely restrain the forces on the three planes of Wulan, Xige, and Manlo, preventing Black Rope Tower from drawing forces from these three planes for combat, without needing to fully engage in war with these three planes.

After all, the demands of the Wisdom Code on the Star Alliance are merely to contain the three planes; they don’t require them to capture them.

This way, the Star Alliance could suffer fewer war losses.

However, if they proceed like this, the Star Alliance basically won’t be able to expect much gain from this war.

That clearly contradicts Sunan’s initial goal of leveraging the war to enhance their strength.

In the multiverse, there are countless planes, but those with a high concentration of energy particles and rich resources are very few, and they are generally controlled by various influences.

Under normal circumstances, for the Star Alliance to expand its territory, it would need to persistently search for suitable new planes.

This is not a simple task.

Given that so many influences have their eyes set on these opportunities, any discovery of resource-rich new planes would immediately attract competition from numerous influences.

And the other method would naturally be to seize territory from other influences.

For example, the twenty-two planes controlled by Black Rope Tower are without exception planes with high energy particle concentration and abundant resources.

Under normal circumstances, the Star Alliance could never snatch territory from Black Rope Tower.

Yet right now represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With the Ten Thousand Headed Bird containing most of Black Rope Tower’s forces, the Star Alliance can seize the chance to capture the three planes of Wulan, Xige, and Manlo.

If they succeed, the Star Alliance will control five planes, and there’s a high likelihood of entering the ranks of second-tier wizard influences after the wizard civil war.

Lize naturally understood this as well, but capturing Black Rope Tower’s three planes comes with high difficulty and risk.

However, since Sunan has made up his mind, she wouldn’t say more.

After all, Sunan has never disappointed her so far.

With Lize in charge of overseeing war preparations, Sunan went to the laboratory to contemplate the upcoming arrangements.

Lize’s concerns were certainly clear to him.

Even when facing only the three planes controlled by Black Rope Tower, the Star Alliance’s combat power is still not advantageous.

If they want to avoid a stalemate in the upcoming war, the Star Alliance must hold a trump card that can open the battlefield.

Considering the Star Alliance’s current combat capability, the only option that perhaps meets this standard is the Starlight Wizard Tower.

With Sunan’s continuous upgrades and modifications, the Starlight Wizard Tower now excels in its tower spirit, elemental pool, maze lock protective energy field, and long-range firepower strike, surpassing typical large wizard towers.

Even when engaging directly in battle, facing two large wizard towers, Sunan is confident of victory.
