Complex Composition

As Cuilisi advanced her legions toward the Central Ruins of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization, although she had stated that the Black Bat Civilization Legion could hold their ground, a Black Bat Civilization Legion ultimately followed the Wizard Alliance Legion under her command into action.

This Black Bat Civilization Legion was led by the Level-5 Black Bat powerhouse, Bruce Wayne.

War was the greatest test of a person. In this war of the Black Bat Civilization, Bruce Wayne had become a rising star among the younger generation of Black Bat Civilization powerhouses.

The older generation of Level-6 Black Bat powerhouses had been severely wounded in the war against the Ancient Desert Wasteland World. Even if they recovered from their injuries in the future, it would be difficult for them to return to their peaks, much less advance any further.

Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, was held in high expectations!

There was a strong possibility that the authority of the Black Bat Civilization would be handed over to him in the future.

Even the Black Bat Civilization's World-Class Secret Treasure—the Batwing Helmet—was now being deliberately introduced to Bruce Wayne in advance so that he could familiarize himself with its use.

Following Cuilisi to the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization Ruins this time had also been Bruce Wayne's own request.

As a Level-5 Creature who had once come into contact with Saine, and as a Level-5 powerhouse with ambitions and ideals, Bruce had begun preparing for his future path early after witnessing the formidable strength of Wizard Civilization.

Bruce did not know that Saine was currently within that Civilization Relic. He merely felt that since Wizard Civilization placed such immense importance on that place, and large numbers of Combat Legions were being mobilized there, it was enough to prove that battlefield would be the next focal point.

The merit earned from fighting a hundred wars in the Black Bat Civilization Starfield might not even compare to the merit earned from a single achievement in the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization Ruins.

As for the dangers of the Central Ruins, Bruce did not care.

Bruce's legion had suffered losses and attrition over many years, and many of its members were already utterly exhausted. Logically speaking, rest and recuperation would have been the best course of action.

Yet in the face of Bruce's mobilization, the Black Bat Legion under his command showed little resentment and instead displayed exceptional resilience.

This also demonstrated the influence and positive image Bruce Wayne had established during the war. The vast majority of Black Bat Civilization creatures were willing to follow Bruce's command.

Apart from these Black Bat Civilization creatures, the legion under Bai Xing, which moved even faster, had the most complex composition!

Besides the Seafolk and the Wizard Civilization knight and Magician Legions originally stationed around the Wonderful Plane battlefield, there were also many other alliance creature legions.

Arthur, Gal Gadot, the Level-5 Kryptonian Karl, and Barry, a creature of Lightning World, had all joined the war.

Gal Gadot's mother, Hippolyta, did not accompany them. She needed to remain behind and hold the line around the Wonderful Plane.

During the previous war, Hippolyta had demonstrated considerable talent in logistics and management.

Not only had Wizard World knights and magicians, including Saine, praised Hippolyta, but she had also built a respectable reputation among the Alliance Gods.

In addition to these existing alliance forces, Bai Xing's legion also included a powerful Interstellar Mercenary Legion.

This Interstellar Mercenary Legion came from the Alibaba Interstellar Merchant Association. Its total number approached two million, with more than twenty individuals having reached Level 4 or above.

For an interstellar merchant association to assemble such a formidable mercenary legion in such a short time spoke volumes of its resources.

Moreover, the Alibaba Interstellar Merchant Association appearing around the Wonderful Plane battlefield was merely one of its branches.

This interstellar organization, which had built an immensely vast commercial empire, had established branches throughout major starfields and around Top-Level Civilizations.

As for the Alibaba Interstellar Merchant Association's overall strength, even many Level-6 powerhouses of Wizard World likely could not see through it.

Among the Interstellar Mercenaries rushing to reinforce the Central Ruins of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization this time, the strongest was a Level-5 Peak Razor Mantis.

However, the most eye-catching figure, and the one who had performed most outstandingly on the previous battlefield around the Wonderful Plane, was a Light Giant named Dexas, who possessed Level-4 life force.

This time, he too would head to the battlefield near the Central Ruins of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization.

Outside Yellow Sand No. 2 Experimental Base.

Dense Galente Federation Combat Legions had surrounded this large Laboratory Base so tightly that not even water could pass through. A rough count put the strength of these Federation Fleets at several million.

This was more or less where the Galente Federation had committed over half of its main forces within this Top-Level Civilization secret realm.

The Galente Federation's objective was also obvious. After entering this secret realm, they had discovered that energy barriers blocked 97 percent of the surrounding area, making deep exploration impossible in the short term.

Thus, the Galente Federation set its sights on Wizard Civilization.

These professional research teams from Wizard World had arrived at least several years earlier than the Galente Federation's raiding legions. (P.S. This took into account the difference in Time Flow Rate inside and outside subspace.)

Taking what was already available directly from Wizard Civilization would certainly be far more convenient than having the Galente Federation explore and discover it themselves.

Of course, the Galente Federation's urgency in launching a decisive battle against the Wizard Civilization Legion within the ruins was also very likely due to receiving news of the various legion movements outside the ruins.

Civilization War was a whole. Whether it was Saine of Wizard World or Agent Bond of the Galente Federation, no matter where they were, they were all components of the Civilization Battlefield.

There was absolutely no such thing as focusing only on one's own battle while ignoring the broader developments outside.

The Galente Federation's raiding fleet came in fiercely, but the Wizard Civilization garrison legion was no pushover either.

It was clear that after Master Howard and the others retreated to Yellow Sand No. 2 Experimental Base, they had gathered sufficient forces and made contact with some elite garrison legions outside the ruins.

Therefore, even while facing the siege of the Galente Federation's massive army, they still maintained an active resistance and showed no obvious signs of decline in the short term.

The question now facing Saine and the others was whether they should break through and charge in, coordinating with Master Howard and the others from within and without.

"I don't think we can make a rash decision for now," Saine said after learning about the situation around Yellow Sand No. 2 Experimental Base.

The situation on the battlefield around this Laboratory Base was clearly one where the enemy was strong and they were weak.

The Galente Federation had come prepared, while Wizard World had been caught completely off guard.

Even if Saine and the others broke through and charged in, the final result would only be the same as Master Howard and the others: trapped inside the base, waiting for reinforcements from outside.

Saine did not particularly like the choice of sitting around and waiting for death. He preferred taking the initiative.

Perhaps the experiences and ingrained habits of thought from his days as a Black Magician were still influencing Saine.

They were temporarily safe now, so why should they charge headlong into the Galente Federation's encirclement?

Saine possessed the resolve to sacrifice himself for Wizard Civilization, but that did not mean he would blindly throw his life away.
