Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 506: Chapter 291: Pushing for a Deal Isn’t Good Business (Part 2)

Speaking of the number of Wizard Towers, the Star Alliance can now be considered far superior to a third-rate Wizard Influence, comparable to some of the weaker second-rate Wizard Influences.

Not to mention that all these Wizard Towers of the Star Alliance are strengthened, with combat power without exception surpassing other Wizard Towers of the same level!

Aside from the Wizard Towers, the Stellar Fortresses and Flying Fleets have also been major targets of the Star Alliance’s resource investments over the years.

Currently, the Star Alliance possesses a total of one hundred and three Stellar Fortresses, nearly double the amount before the outbreak of war.

The number of Flying Fleets has also surged to twenty-three.

The reason for focusing resources on these two war creations, Sunan also has his own considerations.

One reason is that the construction time for Stellar Fortresses and Magic Ships is much shorter than that for Wizard Towers, which can quickly enhance the war power of the Star Alliance’s creations.

The other is also to acquire more Wizard Towers.

The fact that the Star Alliance has been able to capture so many Wizard Towers is entirely based on the high battle losses of the Stellar Fortresses and Magic Ships!

In every war, the Star Alliance can be said to have exchanged Stellar Fortresses and Magic Ships for Wizard Towers.

Every captured Wizard Tower inevitably comes with the destruction of a large number of Stellar Fortresses and Magic Ships.

But in Sunan’s view, this ’trade’ is entirely worth it.

If not for this, the number of Wizard Towers in the Star Alliance would not have grown so quickly.

Turning to the last page, Sunan’s expression slightly changed.

"One hundred and twenty-five Giant Dragons, increasing so fast?"

Lize smiled slightly: "In recent years, the number of High-tier Sub-dragon Species evolving has increased significantly, likely reaching a period of rapid growth."

Sunan nodded thoughtfully.

The High-tier Sub-dragon Species Bloodline Enhancement Plan has been implemented for over a thousand years now.

The accumulation is quite profound.

In terms of time, it is also the period where quantitative change causes qualitative change.

Probably, more and more High-tier Sub-dragon Species will evolve and break through in the future.

In a few hundred years, the Star Alliance might be able to form an actual Giant Dragon Legion.

"In that case, it would be ideal to invest more resources into the Dragon Forest to accelerate the evolution speed of the High-tier Sub-dragon Species," said Sunan.

Lize nodded: "I was just planning to suggest that."

After discussing some details of military expansion, Sunan set down the documents and said solemnly: "The Star Alliance has nearly completed its resupply, it’s time to take the next step."

"With our current strength, capturing the Manlo Plane should be no problem," Lize mused. "The question is, after capturing the Manlo Plane, what’s next? Should we support the Ten Thousand Headed Bird?"

The Star Alliance’s goal certainly isn’t limited to just three planes; even after capturing the Manlo Plane, they will not stop there.

That being the case, the plans afterwards need careful consideration.

Supporting the Ten Thousand Headed Bird is not the issue, the key is how to distribute the benefits?

The Ten Thousand Headed Bird has invested significant troop strength and resources in the war over these years; if the Star Alliance intervenes now, will the Ten Thousand Headed Bird be willing?

Even if the Ten Thousand Headed Bird is willing, how should the benefits be distributed?

How much pressure should the Star Alliance bear?

All this needs to be discussed between the two sides in advance.

After pondering for a moment, Sunan quickly made a decision.

"After capturing the Manlo Plane, there’s no need to rush to support the Ten Thousand Headed Bird; let’s see how their situation unfolds first."

Lize immediately understood his meaning, raising an eyebrow: "You want to wait for the Ten Thousand Headed Bird to request aid?"

Sunan smiled meaningfully: "Rushing into it is never a good business."

Lize fully agreed.

Unlike the Star Alliance, the Ten Thousand Headed Bird has been the suppressed party in the war against the Black Rope Tower from the beginning.

Even though the Star Alliance captured two consecutive planes, causing the Black Rope Tower to divert some forces to support the Manlo Plane, which relieved some pressure on the Ten Thousand Headed Bird, with time passing, the Ten Thousand Headed Bird is still gradually showing signs of weakness.

Perhaps it won’t take long before the Ten Thousand Headed Bird will have to turn to the Star Alliance for aid.

By then, as the party being asked for assistance, the Star Alliance would be in a better position to negotiate a higher price.

And there would be no pressure in doing so.

After all, the Star Alliance’s original task was to hold back the Ulan, Manlo, and Xige planes, which have now been accomplished with excess; there is absolutely no obligation to assist the Ten Thousand Headed Bird further.

The Ten Thousand Headed Bird would definitely need to offer sufficient benefits if they desire the Star Alliance’s support.

Even the Wisdom Code couldn’t criticize the Star Alliance’s actions.

And taking advantage of this time, the Star Alliance could further consolidate the Manlo Plane and enhance its power.

To the current Star Alliance, the most needed resource is time.

With each passing day, the Star Alliance’s strength grows a little more.

Given enough time, even the formidable Black Rope Tower, they are confident of eventually trampling it underfoot.

"Send out the orders, prepare to march on the Manlo Plane."

Sunan gave the command.

After Lize turned to carry out her duties, he returned to the top floor of the Wizard Tower.

During this period, he has been regularly upgrading the Starlight Wizard Tower, including the Tower Spirit, Maze Lock Protective Energy Field, Floating Ring, Central Crystal Energy Transmission System, as well as various turrets, all of which have been enhanced accordingly.

The current Starlight Wizard Tower has far surpassed the category of a large Wizard Tower and is entirely in a league of its own.

Even against five large Wizard Towers at the same time, Sunan believes the ultimate victory will be theirs.

On the front lines, unless a True Spirit Wizard steps in to suppress them, the Starlight Wizard Tower is a war weapon that cannot be matched!

A significant portion of the Star Alliance’s strength in war creations can be attributed to the Starlight Wizard Tower.

"Unfortunately, the simplified version of the Elemental Melting Furnace is already at its limit, and energy supply cannot be further upgraded; the Starlight Wizard Tower’s upgrade has reached its peak potential."

Sunan sighed with some regret.

To advance further, it can only wait until he ascends to a True Spirit Wizard, then undertake the construction of a Floating City.

...

Starlight Calendar, year 2309, the Star Alliance launched a full-scale attack on the Manlo Plane.

In just three days, the Star Alliance’s army broke the encirclement blockade of the Manlo garrisons, swarming like ants in all directions, commencing a rapid campaign of conquest.

The primary races of the Manlo Plane are various Giant Tribes, with a sparse population.

Only about a million individuals can be utilized as combat forces.

Though strong as individuals, they were still gradually depleted by the Star Alliance’s tactics of overwhelming numbers.

The Golem Legion and war creations stationed by Black Rope Tower in the Manlo Plane were far inferior to the Star Alliance in all respects.

After several direct confrontations with the Star Alliance, the Black Rope Tower’s Golem Legion and war creations suffered heavy losses, resulting in the Star Alliance capturing seven more Wizard Towers.

Starlight Calendar, year 2313, the Star Alliance captured and defeated the Giant Royal Family known as the Golden Giant Tribe, successfully crushing the giant forces of the Manlo Plane.

During this process, the Black Rope Tower’s garrison at Manlo seemed to vanish, failing to appear throughout.

Starlight Calendar, year 2316, the Star Alliance completely conquered the Manlo Plane, bringing it under their control.

With this, the Star Alliance triumphed!

The news spread, causing a significant stir in the Wizard World.

In less than fifty years since the outbreak of the Wizard Civil War, the Star Alliance successively conquered three planes, expanding its territory more than double, even snatching it from the jaws of the old tiger Black Rope Tower, such courage and strength truly catch the eye.

Yet after capturing the Manlo Plane, the Star Alliance shifted from an aggressive posture to focus on managing the three conquered planes, disappointing those who wished to see Black Rope Tower’s downfall.

In stark contrast, the Ten Thousand Headed Bird’s situation worsened.

Realizing the futility in opposing the Star Alliance’s advance, the Black Rope Tower decisively abandoned the Manlo Plane, conserving valuable troops, and turned towards battling the Ten Thousand Headed Bird.

As a result, the Ten Thousand Headed Bird’s pressure only increased.

Especially since the Star Alliance halted its forward momentum to concentrate on consolidating its gains, the Black Rope Tower detected this and intensified its attacks on the Ten Thousand Headed Bird, as if trying to annihilate it, or at least weaken its strength as much as possible.

Under such circumstances, it wasn’t long before the Ten Thousand Headed Bird could no longer cope.

Less than three years after the Star Alliance captured the Manlo Plane, the Ten Thousand Headed Bird came to ask for assistance.
