Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 497: Chapter 287: One Shot, One Kill

Boom!

Thunderous, deafening sounds echoed above the town!

Dense beams of spellcasting tore through the void, hitting the surface of the Wizard Tower’s energy field almost simultaneously. Instantly, massive distortions appeared, and the entire field violently fluctuated, as if it was about to collapse in the next second.

Facing the siege of over three hundred magic ships and two Stellar Fortresses, the Wizard Tower of the Black Rope Tower finally couldn’t hold on after destroying more than seventy magic ships and prepared to break through the encirclement.

However, just as they were ready to act, a blinding, thick beam of lightning suddenly shot out from the Stellar Fortress on the left, striking the Wizard Tower with a deafening roar!

Like the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, the energy field of the Wizard Tower collapsed with a loud bang.

"Plasma Cannon? Damn it, how could such a turret be installed on a war creation that isn’t even a Wizard Tower?"

The Black Rope Tower Wizard inside the Wizard Tower roared in a mixture of anger and panic.

Unfortunately, rage couldn’t change the situation. Without the energy field, the Wizard Tower was immediately exposed to the firepower of numerous war creations. In an instant, countless cannon fires swept over, engulfing the Wizard Tower like a torrent!

Despite desperate resistance, destroying more than ten magic ships, the Wizard Tower ultimately fell to the ground with plumes of smoke.

A dozen figures rushed out from the Wizard Tower, scattering and flying in all directions.

However, the Star Alliance was well prepared. As the sound of wolves howling echoed, dozens of Twilight Wolves charged out from all directions, roaring to obstruct the Black Rope Tower Wizards.

Following closely, the Star Alliance Wizards also dashed out from their Wizard Tower, joining the pursuit!

Under the pincer attack from the Wizards and Twilight Wolves, the dozen or so Black Rope Tower Wizards were quickly wiped out!

Sherman stored the energy-depleted Black Thunder in the Space Ring and glanced at the damaged Wizard Tower of Black Rope Tower not far away, a smile appearing on his face.

"After more than a year of fighting, this is the first time we’ve captured a Wizard Tower from Black Rope Tower."

Attila approached, with a smile also on his face.

Sherman chuckled and said, "It can’t be helped. The Black Rope Tower is too cautious, rarely dispatching a Wizard Tower alone, and swiftly fleeing at the sight of danger. If not for setting a trap, it wouldn’t have been easy to trap them."

For this operation, they had prepared for more than two months, risking being ambushed in return, and ventured with a Wizard Tower alone near the edge of the occupied zone, daringly luring the enemy step by step into the trap.

Fortunately, the final result was favorable.

Although nearly a hundred magic ships were lost, compared to capturing a small Wizard Tower, this loss was entirely acceptable.

At the moment, the battle within the town was also nearing its end.

Countless Black Wolves ran amok within the town, tearing and slaughtering the remaining enemy combatants defying to the end. As for unarmed civilians and surrendered soldiers, they turned a blind eye.

After transporting all the troops into the Wulan Plane, the Star Alliance changed its combat strategy, using wolf packs and the Golem Legion as the main force for attack, with the Demon Pattern Knight Order as support, attacking towns in the Wulan Plane.

Compared to the longer maturation period of the Demon Pattern Knights, the manufacturing (incubation) cycle of the Golem Puppet and Black Wolves is much shorter, so even if the casualties are higher, there’s no feeling of regret.

Under the Star Alliance’s fierce offensive, disregarding losses, over the past year, the Star Alliance’s occupied territory expanded nearly fourfold!

Although this area is less than one percent of the entire Wulan Plane, given the lack of advantage in war creations and reliance on ground troops for advancement, achieving such a feat is already commendable.

After eliminating the last bit of resistance within the town, Sherman left a portion of the personnel to clean up the battlefield and then headed back to Linfeng City with the damaged Wizard Tower.

...

"Well done."

After listening to Sherman and Attila’s report, Lize nodded with a smile.

The combat power of war creations between the Star Alliance and the Wulan Plane is quite comparable. The loss of a Wizard Tower by the Wulan Plane and the completion of repairs by the Star Alliance means an additional Wizard Tower for them.

This difference equals the gap between two small Wizard Towers.

After praising Sherman and Attila a few times, Lize dismissed them and then arranged for personnel to start repairing the Wizard Tower.

After completing all this, she moved to the laboratory where Sunan was located.

In the center of the spacious laboratory stood a huge turret, its metallic surface engraved with dense and strange runes, with various types of Magic Gemstones embedded at the intersecting nodes of the runes.

Sunan stood beside the turret, seemingly making final adjustments.

"Is this the newly developed Pulse Cannon III?" Lize asked with interest.

Sunan had long been aware of her arrival and replied without lifting his head, "Yes, it will be completed today."

There was no difficulty in synthesizing the Pulse Cannon III. The real time-consuming part was manufacturing enough pulse cannons for its synthesis and conducting compatibility tests with the Starlight Wizard Tower.

The current Pulse Cannon III is already Sunan’s optimal choice after multiple adjustments.

The power of a single Pulse Cannon shot is enough to reduce the Maze Lock Protective Energy Field (standard unenhanced) of a large Wizard Tower by more than 80%.

For a medium Wizard Tower, one shot can directly destroy both the energy field and the tower!

Its power vastly exceeds that of the pulse cannons installed on ordinary large Wizard Towers!

However, such astonishing power comes with incredibly high energy consumption.

Even with the simplified version of the Elemental Melting Furnace’s energy supply, it can only support the Pulse Cannon III firing three times at most.

After three shots, the remaining energy is less than 10%, making it practically lose its combat effectiveness.

Sunan and Lize had discussed the power of the Pulse Cannon III before. Upon hearing that this new weapon had been completed, Lize’s eyes involuntarily glimmered with interest.
