Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 494: Chapter 285: Elevenfold Power Supply (Part 2)

"Ten Thousand Headed Bird?" Luke sneered dismissively, "That group of guys who hang around with beasts, when did they ever have the guts to face us in battle?"

Luke wasn’t particularly surprised by the actions of the Wisdom Code.

With such significant movements from the Dark Throne, it would be strange if the Wisdom Code wasn’t aware. It’s not unusual for them to counteract.

But merely sending the Ten Thousand Headed Bird to deal with the Black Rope Tower is underestimating them.

Fabian said with an odd expression, "It’s not just the Ten Thousand Headed Bird. According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, it seems the Star Alliance is involved as well."

"Star Alliance?"

Luke furrowed his brows slightly.

In recent years, the Star Alliance has become quite famous, first breaking the blockade and repelling the Dark Throne’s attack, killing a candidate wizard in royal robes, and later annihilating the Black Rope Tower’s army in the divine corpse battle.

One remarkable achievement after another.

Especially considering the Star Alliance emerged from the Starlight Continent, which had been sealed for two thousand years, it’s truly astonishing!

However, as one of the stepping stones for the rise of the Star Alliance, the Black Rope Tower was quite unhappy.

"Even with the Star Alliance, the Ten Thousand Headed Bird is still no match for us."

Luke snorted coldly and, after some thought, said:

"Issue the order, all legions enter Level 1 alert status, ready to engage at any moment."

"Yes, sir!"

Fabian replied respectfully and turned to issue the orders, but just as he reached the door, a colleague rushed in with a solemn expression.

"Lord Luke, the Wizard stationed in Linfeng City has sent a message: a massive energy particle fluctuation has appeared 30 kilometers southwest of the city, preliminary investigations suggest invaders from beyond our world!"

Luke’s expression grew serious, and he exchanged a glance with Fabian, instantly understanding.

"It seems our adversaries are quite efficient, turning to offensive maneuvers this quickly."

Unperturbed, Luke sneered and instructed the newcomer:

"Send the message: enlist all the forces from cities within a thousand miles of Linfeng City to move to the invasion site to block the enemy. We cannot let them comfortably deploy their forces!"

"Yes, sir!"

The informant quickly took the orders and left.

Luke brushed a few orders onto a parchment, then extended his hand, generating four ravens from the intertwining black mist in the air.

"Caw, Caw!"

The four ravens landed on the table, each gobbling down a piece of parchment before flapping away from the study.

After delivering the orders to mobilize the troops, Luke said to Fabian, "Contact the Wizard garrisoned in Linfeng City and have him send the Magic Eye Bird to recon the invasion site situation."

Fabian nodded, turned, and departed, returning a moment later with a bead in hand.

The bead, only the size of an egg, opaque gray throughout, with myriad interwoven lines in the center forming an eye-like pattern.

As Fabian infused spiritual power, the bead suddenly emitted a dazzling light, quickly forming an ethereal image in the void.

The scene was viewed from a distant diagonal downward angle, showing the plains blanketed with sprawling armies, armored knights riding Black Panthers arranged in orderly formations.

Beside them stood the Golem Legion, perfectly arrayed and motionless like stone statues.

Further away, golem puppets and cavalry continued to arrive, joining the ranks.

In the high skies, thousands of metallic giant ships floated, orbiting thirteen Wizard Towers and over forty grand castles like stars around the moon.

Upon seeing the castles’ forms, Fabian exclaimed involuntarily: "Stellar Fortress!"

Luke squinted slightly, a flash of cold glint in his eyes.

"Star Alliance!"

Having fought against the Star Alliance on the Earth Crystal Plane, the Black Rope Tower had a deep impression of their Stellar Fortress, having done extensive research on it, instantly recognizing it now.

"Contact the other planes immediately." Luke suddenly said.

Fabian instantly understood and used internal means to contact other planes, soon receiving responses.

"Twenty-one other planes simultaneously invaded, where the invaders on the Wulan Plane, Xige Plane, and Manlo Plane are the Star Alliance, and on the other eighteen planes, it’s the Ten Thousand Headed Bird."

"As expected." Luke’s expression turned icy, "Attacking three planes simultaneously, the Star Alliance sure thinks highly of itself!"

Luke stared closely at the image.

Due to distance and being obstructed by the overwhelming fleet overhead, it’s impossible to see the Plane Channel location and observe the Star Alliance deploying troops specifically.

Yet Luke didn’t mind, considering the Star Alliance a mere third-rate wizard force, attacking three planes simultaneously means their invasion force is very limited, easily manageable by Wulan Plane’s defenses.

At that moment, a sudden bolt of lightning cracked through the sky in the image, causing the image to flash and vanish.

The surveilling Magic Eye Bird had been discovered and killed.

Luke was indifferent, rising to say: "Summon all wizards, deploy all Wizard Towers; this time we must crush the invading hand of the Star Alliance!"

Having suffered among the Earth Crystal Plane, the Black Rope Tower was long irritated with the Star Alliance, but had restrained due to the Wisdom Code.

Now with both sides tearing their sham facade and the Star Alliance invading the Wulan Plane, it’s a perfect opportunity for revenge, to annihilate the Star Alliance’s invading forces, unleashing their pent-up ire.

Fabian nodded vigorously and went to convey the order.

Though the Wulan Plane lacks surveillance networks like the Eye of the Star, teleportation arrays are set up in all major cities.

Many wizards quickly gathered in Wulan City.

Meanwhile, sixteen Wizard Towers and thirty-five Black Rope Giant Ships stationed in the Wulan Plane were also ready to deploy.

"Upon receiving your command, Lord, the Fire Scale Knight Order and the Golem Legion immediately set off towards Linfeng City; it’s estimated that’ll take two to three hours to reach the destination."

In Luke’s dedicated Mosor Wizard Tower, over a dozen wizards gathered in the council chamber, discussing their forthcoming actions.

Despite the sudden Star Alliance invasion, the Wulan Plane had prepared to dispatch troops to headquarters long before, so there was no panic.

In less than half a day, forces from various regions were already on the move, rushing to block the enemy with lightning speed.

"Have we figured out the Star Alliance’s invasion scale?" Luke asked.

After the Magic Eye Birds probing was cleared by the Star Alliance, Luke simply ordered for Linfeng City’s wizards to personally conduct reconnaissance on the Star Alliance’s military information.

Calculating the timing, intelligence ought to have been conveyed by now.

As soon as he spoke, Luke’s expression shifted, reaching into the void, a black raven appearing inexplicably in his grasp.

With his fingers clenched, the black raven shattered into wisps of mist, dropping parchment, which Luke seized and read.

Yet upon realizing its contents, Luke’s expression darkened.

"Lord?" Fabian asked doubtfully.

Luke replied with a grim expression: "Just now, including Linfeng City and Parasol City, twelve cities have been captured by the Star Alliance forces!"

Upon this proclamation, silence enveloped the hall.

Everyone bore shocked expressions.

It took Fabian quite some time to process, incredulous, stating: "How could that be possible? Linfeng City houses a fifty-thousand-strong Golem Legion, and combined with the defensive forces from surrounding cities, totals over one hundred thousand. According to what’s passed since the Star Alliance invasion, how could they be captured so swiftly?"

Luke said nothing, tossed the parchment to Fabian.

Upon receiving it, Fabian’s eyes widened in alarm.

As the report estimated, the Star Alliance Golem Legion used to capture the twelve cities likely exceeded fifty thousand.

Moreover, at the same time, more Golem Legions were advancing towards other cities, although due to greater distances, yet to arrive.

Surprisingly, the Star Alliance had deployed over six to seven hundred thousand Golem Puppets to the Wulan Plane in less than half a day!

How was this accomplished?
