Chapter 285: Battle for Time

In the vast wilderness, densely packed troops are gathering in an orderly manner.

High in the sky, a group of wizards looked down at the situation below, exchanging words in low voices from time to time.

Except for Sherman, Kore, Atil, Ethan, Tatjana, and Fleming, except for the second-level wizards such as Scepter, Rose, and Fakado, who went to the meeting hall to attend the meeting, almost all the core first-level wizards with the highest status in the Star Alliance Come together.

"I heard that we are going to attack three dimensions at the same time this time. Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"It is said that they are attacking at the same time, but actually there are priorities. Our main target is the Ulan plane. The other two planes only need to contain Black Sota's army and prevent them from having time to escape."

"Speaking of which, what kind of plane is the Ulan plane?"

Everyone turned to look at Adil in unison.

Although after reshaping his body, Atil focused most of his energy on cultivation, he still participated in government affairs.

Among all the people present, who had the best intelligence was undoubtedly Adil, who had once served as Lise's assistant.

Seeing everyone watching, Adil smiled and said, "The detailed information has just been compiled and should be sent to all wizards and legion generals today."

Tatjana said: "Please tell us everything first."

"Yes, let's have some understanding first." Fleming agreed.

Seeing this, Atil did not refuse and said: "The situation in the Ulan plane is actually similar to that of the Starlight Continent. They are both dominated by the human race and have a unified political power. The country that currently controls the entire plane is called the North Empire, which is owned by Hesso. Ta’s acting ruling power in the Ulan plane.”

Everyone's faces were clear.

In order to maximize the efficiency of resource development and collection, the planes where civilized races exist under the control of wizard forces usually support a unified political power and exercise ruling power as agents.

Just like the Starry Empire in Starlight Continent.

"With Black Sota's typical dark wizard behavior, the living environment of the people of the North Empire must not be much better." Sherman said thoughtfully.

Adil nodded and said: "It is true. Black Sota has squeezed the North Empire to the extreme, and this oppression has been passed on to the people at the bottom by the royal family and nobles of the North Empire. The living environment at the bottom cannot be described as dire. Too much."

Fleming smiled and said: "Then it seems that we are doing something good by attacking the Ulan plane."

Everyone also shook their heads and laughed.

Tatjana asked: "What is the military strength of the Ulan plane?"

Artil pondered: "We haven't found out the specifics. The information we have so far shows that there are at least fifteen wizard towers and more than thirty black cable giant ships stationed in the Ulan plane all year round."

"So many?" Sherman frowned.

The rest of the people also suppressed their smiles and showed solemn expressions.

With such a strong garrison in just one plane, it is no wonder that the Wisdom Code wants the Covenant and Ten Thousand Headed Birds to join forces to deal with Black Tower.

Considering that the Star Alliance will allocate some troops to invade the Xige plane and the Manluo plane, the number of war artifacts that can really be used to attack the Ulan plane is probably not as good as that of the Ulan plane.

Even if the Covenant has a flying fleet that can make up for the gap, it still cannot gain the advantage.

"Where is the puppet army?" Kore asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know the specific number." Atil shook his head, "I only know that there is a fire scale knights stationed in the Ulan plane, which is similar to our magic pattern knights. The members are all legendary combat power, and the number is not high. It will be less than 30,000.”

Sherman muttered: "This is not difficult to deal with. The official members of the Demon Pattern Knights now exceed 100,000. Since they have made up their mind to attack the Ulan plane, they will not deploy less than 50,000 manpower. To deal with the fire The Scale Knight Legion is no problem."

"The same goes for the puppets." Ethan said, "No matter how many puppets there are in the Ulan plane, there are only two armies in the top of the sky. We still have the advantage in this regard."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although Black Tower is a top second-rate wizard force, it is impossible to station a large number of puppets in twenty-two planes at the same time.

In a single plane, having two million puppets is already pretty good.

The Star Alliance currently has a total of five armies. The troops used to attack the Ulan plane will never be less than two armies, which is two million puppets.

As for wizards, although the number of people in the Covenant is somewhat smaller, the existence of the Witch Hunting Legion can make up for this gap very well.

In terms of wizard-level combat power alone, the Star Alliance may not be less than the three planes of Ulan, Manluo and Xige combined.

In general, in terms of grassroots combat power and high-end combat power, the Star Alliance will not be at a disadvantage even if it does not have a big advantage against the three planes.

Only the War Creation aspect is a problem.

The creation of war artifacts is extremely expensive and takes a long time. The war artifacts of wizard forces, including the wizard tower, have been accumulated bit by bit over thousands of years.

The Star Alliance, which has only been around for less than two thousand years, has always been deficient in this regard.

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's face, Sherman tried to lighten the atmosphere and said with a smile: "But this is a good opportunity. If we can capture a few more wizard towers, it can also enhance the power of the Covenant in war creation."

As soon as these words came out, many wizards' eyes lit up.

The Star Alliance currently only has 21 wizard towers, but there are more than 400 wizards. There are more monks than flesh and blood. Many wizards have not yet been able to have their own wizard tower.

If they can capture more wizard towers in this war, they may have a chance to redeem them for wizard towers.

Why isn't this exciting?

"With Master Sunan's leadership, this war will definitely be a complete victory!" Tajana said.

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

After the plane blockade was lifted, they were exposed to more and more information from the outside world. The more they knew, the more they understood that the Covenant had grown from scratch to its current scale in just over a thousand years. What an incredible thing!

And all of this was accomplished under the leadership of Sunan.

Everyone in the Star Alliance now has a blind trust in Sunan.

As long as it is an order given by Sunan, no matter how unbelievable it is, they will do their best to execute it.

This time is no exception!

"This is the military force stationed in the Ulan plane."

In the meeting hall, Lize distributed the document to the second-level wizards present. After everyone read it over, she spoke in a solemn voice.

"Due to time constraints, the intelligence collected by our manpower is limited. Most of the information about the Ulan plane is provided by the Wisdom Codex. However, the level of detail is also limited, and we can only make rough estimates."

The garrison strength of the plane under his command is undoubtedly the core secret of any wizard force. Even if spies are sent to sneak into the plane for many years to collect intelligence, it is difficult to detect the complete strength of the garrison.

The wizards present all understood this, so they didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, they all looked up at Sunan who was sitting at the top.

Looking around, Sunan tapped the handle of the chair a few times with his fingers, pondered for a moment before saying:

"Then just follow the original plan, use the Ulan plane as the main target, and use the other two planes to contain it."

"Scepter, you lead the second army of the Golem Legion and the third and fourth armies of the Mage Knights to attack the Manluo plane. I will give you three small wizard towers and one medium wizard tower, three flying fleets and fifteen "Starry Sky Fortress."

The Demon Pattern Knights are currently divided into ten corps, each of which includes 10,000 formal members and 90,000 alternate members.

Although it is only a containment, the size of the invading army still cannot be too small, otherwise it may be swallowed up by the enemy, and then the consequences of supporting the Ulan plane will be disastrous.

Sunan must ensure that the military force attacking Manluo and Xige is enough to suppress the enemy's forces so that the opponent cannot escape.

"Yes, sir!" Scepter responded respectfully.

"The army attacking the Xige plane is led by Fakado. The third army of the Golem Legion and the fifth and sixth armies of the Demon Pattern Knights will be mobilized. They will also give you the same number of war artifacts."

"Yes, sir!" Fakado responded respectfully.

Scepter and Fakado are the oldest and most powerful wizards in the Star Alliance. The two of them took charge of the attack on the Manluo plane and the Xige plane respectively, and everyone was convinced.

"In terms of wizard-level combat power, you two will each deploy one-fifth of the wizards and wizard-level puppets. The logistics supply list has been included in the document just now. You will be given five days to prepare for war as soon as possible."

"Remember, all you have to do is contain it. You don't need to win many battles. Just preserve your own strength while preventing the enemy from supporting other planes."

Scepter and Fakado responded in unison.

After giving some more details, the meeting ended, and the wizards left in a hurry to make preparations.

The meeting hall was empty in an instant, leaving only Su Nan and Lize.

"Are you studying elemental furnaces recently?" Lize asked.

"Um."

Sunan nodded, there was nothing to hide from Liz.

"If the Starlight Wizard Tower wants to be further upgraded, it must make a breakthrough in energy supply. The current element pool has reached the limit of the Wizard Tower and cannot be strengthened. I can only start from the aspect of efficiency and see if I can Create a simplified version of the elemental furnace."

When Lize heard this, a flash of emotion flashed in her eyes.

Upgrading wizard towers is not uncommon in the wizarding world.

For example, the true spirit descendants of the major wizard forces will choose to transform the large wizard towers they have when they are unable to build a more advanced floating city.

Due to limited abilities and resources, most people can only transform one or two aspects at most.

Or a tower spirit or an elemental pool.

Or the Mystic Lock protective energy field or long-range fire strike.

Or a built-in puppet army.

This was the first time she had heard of an all-round upgrade like Su Nan's.

Today's Starlight Wizard Tower is already far superior to the large wizard tower, and it is even possible to separate it into a higher level - such as super large one.

Even so, Sunan is still not satisfied and plans to further transform it, and even plans to install a simplified version of the elemental furnace!

That is the elemental furnace, the energy supply device of the floating city!

Even if it is just a simple version, its energy storage, output and recovery rate must far exceed that of the element pool!

Lize couldn't imagine how powerful the Starlight Wizard Tower would be if Sunan's plan really succeeded.

Perhaps this is what gives Sunan the confidence to capture the Ulan plane!

Thinking of Sunan's glorious achievements in the past, Lize couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

After regaining her composure, Lize asked again: "The transformation of the Valley of Dusk has come to an end, and the wolves have reached the hatching limit. Are we going to put the wolves into this war?"

Su Nan nodded in agreement: "Although the wolf pack's combat effectiveness is not as good as the golem army, it is still very good to be cannon fodder."

The speed of hatching black wolves in Dusk Valley is not slow. Even if more than 900,000 black wolves die, they can be hatched again in about 40 years. Sunan doesn't feel bad about using them as cannon fodder.

It takes more than seven months to hatch a Dusk Wolf, and more than 300 years to hatch the upper limit of 602. The hatching time is long, so it must be used well.

"But the main force of the attack at the beginning is still mainly golems." Sunan said.

In essence, the plane invasion is actually a battle for time.

While the opponent reacts and mobilizes the army, the invader sends as many troops as possible to gain a foothold in the plane and open up an outpost.

How smooth the early stage of the plane invasion is depends largely on how many troops the invader can send in before the opponent reacts.

For example, in the Tide Plane, a big reason why You Xi was defeated was that the Star Alliance reacted too quickly.

In just two or three hours, enough troops were mobilized to stop the invasion of the Dark Throne, making it impossible for them to quickly expand their outposts and build more plane channels to transport more troops.

In this regard, the Star Alliance undoubtedly has a unique advantage.

The actions in the Earth Crystal Plane have proved the great role of the magic cube in transporting troops.

In just 24 hours, 53 star fortresses, 13 flying fleets, two golem armies, and 120,000 magic pattern knights were transported into the Earth Crystal Plane.

In other words, as long as the Star Alliance wants, it can transport a golem army in half a day and then quickly launch a war.

Unless the Ulan Plane also establishes a monitoring network and transmission network throughout the plane like the Starlight Continent, otherwise the Ulan Plane will definitely not be able to mobilize enough troops to fight in such a short time.

And this time difference is enough for the Star Alliance to gain a foothold in the Ulan Plane.

The wolf pack is an intelligent life form and cannot be transported by the magic cube. It takes time to transport it to the Ulan plane, so the initial attack is naturally mainly based on the golem puppets.

When all the troops are transported, the Star Alliance should also have opened up a certain situation in the Ulan plane, and then they can use the wolf pack to cooperate with the army to launch a more fierce offensive.

After discussing for a while, Liz left the meeting room to get busy.

Sunan also had to study the element furnace and had no time to distract herself from other affairs. Most of the preparations before the war had to be coordinated by her, and she had been very busy in this short period of time.

Sunan then left the meeting room and went straight to the laboratory. (End of this chapter)
