Chapter 498: Chapter 287: One Shot, One Soul (Part 2)
"With this weapon, we can change the current stalemate."
Sunan nodded slightly and then said, "Actually, considering the cost-effectiveness, the Pulse Cannon III is somewhat wasteful in terms of energy. If we appropriately reduce its power and upgrade and improve other turrets, coordinating with the energy field and taking a stable approach on the battlefield, we will undoubtedly achieve better results than purely using the Pulse Cannon III."
The Pulse Cannon III is indeed powerful but it’s just three shots, after which the Starlight Wizard Tower basically loses combat power.
If the energy consumed by three shots of the Pulse Cannon III is more evenly distributed between offense and defense, the Starlight Wizard Tower is bound to achieve more spectacular results in a single battle than just destroying three wizard towers.
However, to reach such a degree, other facilities of the Starlight Wizard Tower also need further transformation.
Time was too short, and Sunan couldn’t complete a comprehensive upgrade and transformation, so he could only use this method.
After a while, Sunan completed the last bit of adjustment, ordered Tower Spirit No. 3 to control the golem to move the turret, install it into the Wizard Tower, and then asked Lize:
"How’s the recent battle situation?"
"It’s going smoothly. Sherman and Attila have just captured a small Wizard Tower. After spending a few months repairing it, we’ll have another Wizard Tower."
"What about the ground forces’ losses?"
"Our resources are quite sufficient, and golem puppets can be manufactured continuously. The Golem Legion has minimal reduction, but the wolf packs have suffered serious losses from continuous fierce battles; the death rate of Black Wolves has far exceeded the hatch rate."
"What about Black Rope Tower’s losses?"
Without even thinking, Lize said, "Not much more than us."
The Wulan Plane doesn’t have creature nests, and it’s impossible to extract large profits from magic stone trading like the Star Alliance. Simply relying on the resources supplied by this plane and headquarters, it’s definitely impossible to crazily expand the army like the Star Alliance where military units are decreasing with death.
As time passes, the military forces of both sides will only gradually widen.
Even without the Pulse Cannon III, Sunan believes that in over a century, the Star Alliance will have complete superiority in war.
Once the wizard civil war is over, it may be possible to conquer the Wulan Plane.
But he doesn’t want to wait until then.
"It’s time to intensify the offensive," Sunan said.
Lize solemnly said, "The location of Wulan City has been discovered, just over 5,000 kilometers southwest of the occupied area. Once we attack there, it will force the garrison on the Wulan Plane to face us head-on, and once we conquer Wulan City and destroy the command center, the enemy forces will be thrown into chaos in a short time."
Sunan said without hesitation, "Then let’s attack Wulan City!"
With the order given, Linfeng City quickly became lively.
Numerous magic ships and Stellar Fortresses set out from Linfeng City, escorting the Wizard Tower straight to Wulan City.
Tens of thousands of ground forces also marched majestically towards Wulan City.
Wulan City immediately learned of the Star Alliance’s action, mobilizing troops to prepare for battle while summoning high-level officials to discuss strategies.
"What is the Star Alliance planning to do?"
"Are they planning to capture Wulan City?"
"Not likely, they’ve tried before."
Over this year, the Star Alliance and Wulan City have erupted several times into full-scale battles, but neither side can do much to the other, just losing troops in vain.
Thus, most of the time, the Star Alliance uses more advantageous ground forces to make advancements, recently rarely mobilizing numerous war creations simultaneously.
The Star Alliance’s sudden action makes it quite baffling.
Luke raised his hand to interrupt the discussion, speaking deeply, "Whatever the Star Alliance’s goal is, since they want to fight, we can’t back down; Wulan City is our main base, are we really afraid of the Star Alliance?"
Everyone thought so too, and stopped worrying, enthusiastically requesting to fight.
Soon, numerous wizard towers and Black Rope Giant Ships rose into Wulan City’s sky.
Simultaneously, many golem puppets and knights poured out from within the city, deploying and preparing on the plains.
The Golem Legion was centered in the array, flanked by countless knights riding creatures similar to horses in appearance but with scalely limbs.
These knights, exuding powerful auras, were well-armored, wielding long steel swords, high in morale, emanating a fierce aura.
"Are those Wulan City’s Fire Scale Knights?"
Inside the Wizard Tower, Sunan looked at the image on the screen showing the Elite Cavalry Legion, displaying a look of interest.
For over a year, he spent most of his time synthesizing the Pulse Cannon, occasionally focusing on major strategic directions of the battle, seldom stepping onto the battlefield, and it was the first time he saw the Fire Scale Knight Order.
"Yes," Lize said, "These Fire Scale Knights all possess Grand Knight Level strength, their mounts, the Fire-Scaled Beasts, are not weaker than Black Rock Leopards, and all members are equipped with Magic Pattern Armor, in terms of combat power, not much different from Demon Pattern Knights."
The knight orders cultivated by Wizard Influence have Magic Pattern Armor and Exotic Beast mounts as standard, collectively possessing legendary combat power.
The Star Alliance’s Demon Pattern Knight Order isn’t unique; if anything, the advantage is the higher proportion of knights equipped with second and third-level Magic Pattern Armor.
After all, military funding is abundant!
During the conversation between Sunan and Lize, the Star Alliance’s army has completed its rest, forming an array.
Seeing this, Sunan immediately gave an attack order.
Woo! Woo!
Loud horn sounds spread across the sky above the plain.
As the sound reverberated, the Star Alliance’s troops began advancing slowly, like an immense beast crushing forward.
At the same time.
Above the head of Wulan City’s army, a deep, thick voice rang out.
"Attack!"
The next moment, war drums were struck on Wulan City’s walls.
The army began to move slowly, gradually accelerating, enveloped in a surging force, and fiercely charged towards the enemy.
The two armies clashed like two turbulent currents, in an instant blood splattering, flesh and bones flying everywhere!
The deafening sounds of combat and shouting soared into the sky!
From a bird’s-eye view from above, the front row of both armies was already tangled into a melee, fighting brutally like a meat grinder!
Meanwhile, the high-altitude war creations also began engaging, firing mutual volleys of cannon fire and beams.
Almost in a single encounter, dozens of the Star Alliance’s magic ships were shattered and destroyed.
And Black Rope Tower also saw one of its Black Rope Giant Ships plummeting to the ground engulfed in flames.
Seeing no noticeable difference from the Star Alliance’s lineup before, a trace of doubt flashed in Luke’s eyes.
He thought Star Dream had some trump card for actively attacking Wulan City, but the opposing lineup didn’t seem to suggest that.
"Probably just a probe by the Star Alliance."
Luke was completely relieved, focusing on directing the battle.
The Star Alliance’s recent offensive has gotten increasingly fierce; since the opponent voluntarily came today, it’s necessary to seize this opportunity to weaken the opponent’s forces.
Meanwhile, amid the ongoing intense warfare, the Starlight Wizard Tower remained at the rear, hovering in the sky, showing no signs of deployment.
Sunan’s gaze was fixed on the distant Wizard Tower.
It was a large Wizard Tower, surrounded by other wizard towers, invisibly protecting it like stars encircling the moon, even the other large Wizard Tower was no exception.
No accident, the upper echelons of Wulan City would be in that tower.
Sunan waited patiently, watching beams and cannon fire cross the array of wizard towers and Black Rope Giant Ships, occasionally falling on that large Wizard Tower, gradually wearing down the energy field’s durability.
Estimating it’s almost time, he finally gave the instruction.
"Number one, activate Pulse Cannon III!"
[Command received, activating Pulse Cannon III.]
Suddenly, starlight appeared on the top of the Starlight Wizard Tower, expanding rapidly into a sun-like dazzling light cluster.
The next second, an extremely brilliant beam shot out, piercing the void like a fierce lightning, crossing several thousand meters in a blink, accurately hitting the heavily guarded large Wizard Tower!
In the astonished and incredulous eyes of the crowd, the energy field around that large Wizard Tower twisted for a moment, then suddenly collapsed!
"How could it be possible?!"
Witnessing this scene, Luke appeared as though he had seen a ghost.
