Wizard: I Have a Game Panel

Countdown to Crystal Domain barrier collapse: two minutes.

Outside the Wizard Plane Group, including Lor, eight civilization leaders who had been discussing the specifics of the Plane Sea No. 758 Alliance were taken aback.

Immediately, the previously relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The reason for their reaction was a newly released post from the Crystal Domain Defense Federation.

The post's title read: [After consultation with fifty-seven top Overlord level civilization leaders, it has been decided that future war planning will shift from a united defense line to a collective stronghold strategy.]

The content of the post was straightforward: to designate assembly points, with every five top Overlord level civilizations forming the core of an assembly point, gathering surrounding territories to join the Crystal Domain Defense Federation, emphasizing a strategy of defensive counterattacks.

The comments below the post were continuous like a tide, among which several comments, due to the high number of likes, were quickly pushed to the top of the comment section.

These comments were:

[Abandon the defense line? Do you mean letting exotic creatures cross the border and invade the Crystal Domain?]

[So, if you don't join the Crystal Domain Defense Federation, you'll have to face exotic creature attacks alone in the future?]

[What's this Crystal Domain Defense Federation? Might as well rename it to Crystal Domain Turtle Federation.]

[Damn it, join you and become your cannon fodder, don't join you and face exotic creature attacks alone. You really don't want to take any losses, do you!]

[Bastards!]

…

Most of the comments that were pushed to the forefront were curses.

The key point is that the commenters all chose to remain anonymous, with no way to discern any information.

Feather Sky Leader looked around and asked, "Everyone, what do we do now?"

"Besides joining, it seems we have no other choice." Lor said with a bitter smile.

Despite the fierce cursing in the comment section of the post, he could easily guess that there are numerous civilizations and alliances now applying to join the Crystal Domain Defense Federation.

Previously, they were thinking of being cautious, as the Crystal Domain Defense Federation intended to establish a defense line, so there was no immediate concern about the large exotic forces.

But now the Crystal Domain Defense Federation, changing their previous decision, plans to establish assembly circles for a stronghold defense like them.

With no obstacles for the large exotic forces, the civilizations within the Crystal Domain's internal territories must prepare not only for exotic creatures randomly hopping through the Distanceless Spatial Layer but also large-scale invasions.

Judging by the size of the Plane Sea No. 758 Alliance alone, Lor did not believe they could hold off the invaders.

"Indeed."

Abyssal Sea Throne sighed, looked at Lor, then at Feather Sky Leader, and asked, "Shall we join as well? Which of you two will represent the Plane Sea No. 758 Alliance to submit the application?"

It had excluded itself.

Even though, in terms of combat power, it was the strongest individual in the Plane Sea No. 758 Alliance.

But among ordinary Overlord level civilizations, there were many stronger Overlords, making it insignificant.

Feather Sky Leader and Lor were different.

Feather Sky Leader was a Space Faction Dominator, and in terms of rarity and impact on warfare, it surpassed him.

Lor, let alone, had a unique background within the entire Crystal Domain, and the Crystal Domain Defense Federation could not dismiss him lightly.

Feather Sky Leader looked at Lor, "Why don't you go."

Though it was rare, Space Faction Dominators were definitely not lacking in the Crystal Domain Defense Federation.

In comparison, Feather Sky Leader felt Lor had more weight and might secure better treatment for them.

"Alright, I'll go." Lor didn't hesitate, agreeing straightforwardly.

After all, it was nothing more than using external influence for leverage, not the first time he's done it, and doing it again made no difference.

…

Second World, Grand Conference Room.

"Speaker Francis, please continue the reconstruction work of the Wizard Plane Group, as I now represent the Plane Sea No. 758 Alliance in applying to join the Crystal Domain Defense Federation." Lor greeted Francis, nodded to the other Speakers and Legislators, and then swiftly left the Grand Conference Room.

"The Crystal Domain Defense Federation is indeed decisive." Sanchez commented as Lor hurried away.

"Certainly." Vincentia nodded, "But it's within reason, they are under no obligation to shield creatures not in the Crystal Domain Defense Federation from harm."

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Jerald frowned, "Clearly, the war hasn't officially begun, so why did they completely change their strategy in such a short time, from forming a defense line to setting assembly points?"

"Regardless, it doesn't make sense!"

"What are they thinking?"

"Perhaps the initial seven civilization leaders who created the Crystal Domain Defense Federation aimed to form a defense line." Francis replied, "But now there are nearly sixty top Overlord level civilization leaders in the Crystal Domain Defense Federation."

"The power of those initial seven leaders is bound to be diluted by newcomers, so perhaps they held another vote and this result isn't surprising."

"Tsk." Jerald clicked his tongue, "Alright, pity."

"Indeed."

…

"By the way, isn't it odd that the Lingkong Alliance Master and Abyss Sea Alliance Master assigned the task of applying to join the Crystal Domain Defense Federation to Speaker Lole? Could there be something peculiar about this matter? Does it affect Speaker Lole negatively?"

"On the contrary, I only see benefits. At least after this event, the Wizard Civilization's position in the Plane Sea No. 758 Alliance will be further solidified."

"I haven't noticed any risks either."

"Since Speaker Lole agreed, naturally he has the confidence to handle it; it's not our concern. Let's leave it to Speaker Lole to manage; our current task is to complete the transformation of the Wizard Plane Group."

"Alright."

"That's true."

"Legislator Tristan, you are in charge of..."

…

Lor's private space, in the top-floor hall of the Space Wizard Tower.

Lor swiftly composed a membership application according to the communication signals provided by the Crystal Domain Defense Federation in the civilization information exchange list, without a moment's hesitation, and sent it forthwith.

Though the Plane Sea No. 758 Alliance had two Dominators, qualifying them to apply for membership, and with himself leveraging Blood's authority, he was confident the Crystal Domain Defense Federation would not casually treat them as mere cannon fodder.

As for securing more benefits, he would strive to the best of his ability, and if that proved impossible, he would defer it, until he was powerful enough to contest independently.

…

At the center of Feather Bloom Leader's private space high in the sky.

Contrary to the imagined scenario of lively discussions about the future direction of the Crystal Domain Defense Federation externally.

At this particular moment, fifty-eight top Overlord level civilization leaders stood solemnly high in the sky, all eyes focused on the Feather Bloom Leader in the center, the atmosphere heavy and suffocating, as if they were awaiting something.
