Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 500: Chapter 288: The First Chunk of Meat (Part 2)

This towering city, built by Wizards, surpasses Linfeng City in both size and defense systems.

Moreover, its geographical location is excellent, right at the center of the Wulan Plane, sitting atop a geolayer node.

Using Wulan City as the center, it can radiate to any area of the Wulan Plane, strategizing with ease.

"Move the command center here," said Sunan, "from now on, Wulan City will be our base."

Lize nodded slightly, "This is indeed a good place."

After a pause, she looked at Sunan with piercing eyes and asked, "Can we intensify our assault next?"

Sunan nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and a full terrain map of the Wulan Plane appeared in the void in front of them.

This war today is undoubtedly a turning point in changing the situation.

In the past, when the Star Alliance attacked towns, they had to be cautious of the Black Rope Tower’s Wizard Tower and the Black Rope Giant Ship, making them act with restraint.

But from now on, the Star Alliance has the confidence to crush the Wulan Plane garrison with their warcraft, without hesitation, to fully conquer the local towns of the Wulan Plane.

Now it is the enemy’s Wizard Tower that dares not engage them head-on.

Otherwise, as soon as it appears, it will undoubtedly be fiercely attacked by the Starlight Wizard Tower!

"Repair those two captured Wizard Towers quickly and include them in the exchange list as soon as the modifications are completed," Sunan instructed.

Lize responded.

The emergence of the ’prepaid installment’ discount policy has enabled more Wizards in the Star Alliance to exchange for Wizard Towers at once.

With the outbreak of war, Wizards have had more opportunities to earn Contribution Points, accumulating a large amount till now.

Currently, the Star Alliance has plenty of Wizards eagerly waiting to exchange for Wizard Towers. As soon as one appears on the exchange list, it is immediately exchanged, with no worry of it lingering unsold.

And once those two Wizard Towers are repaired and put into use, the number of Wizard Towers in the Star Alliance within the Wulan Plane will increase to sixteen, including three large Wizard Towers.

The warcraft power has suddenly skyrocketed greatly.

In contrast, the Black Rope Tower’s Wizard Towers in the Wulan Plane have decreased to thirteen.

The advantage and disadvantage of each side’s warcraft power have suddenly reversed.

Even without counting the Starlight Wizard Tower, the Star Alliance, with its fifteen Wizard Towers, over forty Stellar Fortresses, and thousands of Magic Ships, firmly surpasses the Wulan garrison in warcraft strength.

Moreover, as time passes, the strength gap between the sides will only widen.

Unless the Black Rope Tower receives new reinforcements into the Wulan Plane, the situation of the Wulan garrison falling behind is as certain as nails on a board.

However, Lize is not at all worried about this.

The Star Alliance and the Ten Thousand Headed Bird have always maintained mutual information exchange, constantly monitoring the situation on the other side, even during the most intense moments of the Wulan Plane war.

While the Star Alliance is holding down part of the Black Rope Tower’s forces, the Ten Thousand Headed Bird and the Black Rope Tower are locked in a back-and-forth struggle.

Perhaps they can’t gain the upper hand, but they can certainly prevent the Black Rope Tower from freeing up forces to support the Wulan Plane.

As for other Black Wizard forces, they are all ardently engaged with the Wisdom Code’s affiliated organizations, making it impossible to spare forces to aid the Black Rope Tower.

Even if possible, Lize doesn’t believe that the typically selfish Black Wizard forces would consider aiding an ally.

If there’s any unexpected factor, it might just be the Xige Plane and the Manlo Plane.

If the Wulan Plane reaches a critical point of life or death, out of concern for mutual survival, these two planes might pull forces at all costs to support the Wulan Plane.

But if that really happens, it might not actually be a bad thing for the Star Alliance.

If they could draw part of the forces from the Xige Plane and the Manlo Plane into the Wulan Plane quagmire and swallow them up, it would make future assaults on these two planes much easier.

Recalling Sunan’s assertion about capturing the Wulan Plane before the attack, Lize couldn’t help but feel emotional.

At that time, though she supported Sunan’s idea, deep down she believed Sunan was a bit too optimistic.

How easy could it be to take down the Wulan Plane?

But now, it seems that the Star Alliance indeed has a good chance of achieving this goal.

As it turns out, Sunan has never disappointed anyone.

...

The simplified version of the Elemental Melting Furnace can hold more energy, but the time needed to fully charge it has also increased.

With more than ninety percent energy shortage, it will take about half a month to fill.

Fortunately, the Wulan garrison was frightened out of their wits this time, likely not daring to let their Wizard Towers reappear before the Star Alliance in the short term.

Returning to the lab, Sunan continued his work.

This war proved the power of the Pulse Cannon III, while also underscoring the importance of Wizard Tower firepower on the frontlines.

Sunan originally planned to continue upgrading other facilities of the Starlight Wizard Tower, but now he changed his mind.

The Starlight Wizard Tower is already in an overwhelming position compared to ordinary Wizard Towers, and upgrading other facilities will not make a big change.

Instead, enhancing the combat power of the Star Alliance’s other Wizard Towers will undoubtedly have an immediate effect on strengthening the warcraft strength.

Compared to the former, this approach is evidently more effective in the short term.

As for upgrading the Starlight Wizard Tower, it can wait until after the Wizards’ civil war is over.

Moreover, by then, if he can advance to a True Spirit Wizard, he may even start planning to build his own Floating City.

After pondering for a moment, Sunan quickly made his calculations.

"First, strengthen the Star Alliance’s other Wizard Towers!"

"First is the Elemental Pool; to upgrade other facilities, we must first increase energy supply."

"I can synthesize enhanced versions of various levels of Elemental Pools and put them on the exchange list."

"There’s also the Maze Lock Protective Energy Field device and various turrets type II and III."

Having made the decision, Sunan immediately put it into action.

The most basic facilities can be manufactured by the Wizards below, and he only needs to synthesize them.

Therefore, the plan proceeded at a decent pace, and it didn’t take long for the exchange list to include a batch of upgraded Elemental Pools, Maze Lock Protective Energy Fields, and turrets.

The reason most Wizards were unwilling to let others manage their Wizard Towers, whether captured or not, and instead modified them themselves was to prevent any backdoor installations.

But with facilities produced within their own influence, there’s no concern like that.

These upgraded facilities were immediately exchanged once they appeared.

Sunan also spared some time to personally give Lize’s Wizard Tower a comprehensive upgrade.

Following the Starlight Wizard Tower, Lize’s Wizard Tower became the Star Alliance’s second Wizard Tower surpassing the large level.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.

Without needing to worry about the Black Rope Tower’s Wizard Towers and Giant Ships anymore, the ground troop advancement speeds significantly improved.

In just half a year, the Star Alliance’s occupied zones expanded more than twice over.

During this time, it’s not that the Black Rope Tower’s Wizard Towers didn’t attempt to obstruct, but after two successive engagements, losing one large Wizard Tower and three medium Wizard Towers to the Star Alliance, they withdrew, not daring to appear again.

In the Starlight Calendar year 2273, the Star Alliance launched a surprise attack on the capital of the North Empire, killing over a hundred members of the royal family, including the Emperor himself, leading to the fall of the capital.

In the Starlight Calendar year 2275, the Star Alliance occupied half of the Wulan Plane.

Faced with the increasingly powerful Star Alliance army, the Wulan Plane garrison was no match, retreating defeat after defeat.

In the Starlight Calendar year 2276, when the Star Alliance was attacking one of the large towns in the Wulan Plane, Amber City, reinforcements from the Xige Plane and Manlo Plane suddenly appeared for the Black Rope Tower.

A total of twelve Wizard Towers and forty-two Black Rope Giant Ships united with the Wulan garrison to attack the Star Alliance army from both sides.

However, the combat power of the upgraded Star Alliance Wizard Towers had long surpassed its former level.

After a fierce battle, Luke, the leader of the Wulan Plane, was killed in action, and the Wulan garrison’s warcraft was completely destroyed.

The Xige Plane and Manlo Plane suffered a crushing defeat, with only five Wizard Towers managing to escape in disarray.

Star Alliance’s Great Victory!

With this campaign, the Star Alliance’s assault became unstoppable.

Wherever the Star Alliance army went, indigenous towns either surrendered at the first sign of trouble or fought desperately only to have their gates breached by Wizard Towers, often falling within a day.

Almost every other day, the territory occupied by the Star Alliance expanded further.

In the Starlight Calendar year 2278, the last town in the Wulan Plane fell into the hands of the Star Alliance, signaling the complete inclusion of the entire plane under the Star Alliance’s control!

In a short span of eight years since the war’s outbreak, while numerous Wizard factions were still locked in stalemate, the Star Alliance broke through the impasse, conquering the first plane and biting a chunk out of the Black Rope Tower.

The news stirred quite a storm across the entire Wizard World!
