"The energy ray is 71% charged, enough to kill a level three life form."
"Emission."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
As the native army approached within ten kilometers, three thin, finger-like rays shot out from the Polyhedral Fortress with a sharp whistling sound, piercing through three level-three beings in the army with perfect accuracy.
Once the three seemingly weak rays finished, the entire Polyhedral Fortress immediately activated its siphon mode, frantically sucking in all the energy within a radius of several kilometers.
The deaths of three level-three creatures did not alarm the native army. Only a few unlucky level-one beasts were injured in the process, while the rest of the beast army continued their charge with a death wish.
Commanded by the World Consciousness and by the God of Beasts, these beast armies were determined to die on the charge, even if it meant certain death.
After witnessing the death of the strongest level 3 creature, the remaining beasts intensified their attack!
"The energy ray is at 43% charge, enough to kill a level two life form."
"Aim at level two life, fire!"
The Polyhedral Fortress had just recovered some of its energy, instantly fired dozens of rays, hitting the level two lifeforms before they could even react.
The ray attack, which even level three life forms couldn't withstand, was even less of a threat to these level two life forms, who were instantly killed.
"Eliminate all level two and level three life forms. We and the slaves can handle the remaining level one native army. There's no need to waste the fortress's energy on these level one life forms."
There are three hundred wizards inside the Polyhedral Fortress. Apart from Leo, who needs to be in command, and Kaba and his group of wizards assisting him, the rest are all positioned for attack.
With the protection of the Polyhedral Fortress, any wizard can freely unleash magic to strike the native army.
The Polyhedral Fortress was constantly absorbing energy from the surrounding air and earth, rapidly replenishing its previous energy reserves.
The absorbed energy is transformed into a high-intensity attack through the magic array on the fortress, just like the energy ray that was just shot out.
It may seem like just a simple twenty-odd rays, but the Polyhedral Fortress paid 10% of its energy reserves for them.
The energy of the Polyhedral Fortress Polyhedral Fortress can also be converted into defense, making it an insurmountable barrier against an army composed entirely of level one natives.
"We can attack once we're within three kilometers," Kaba said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Attack!"
At Leo's command, the entire Polyhedral Fortress instantly unleashed hundreds of spells from various angles, crashing into the opposing native army.
Standing at the highest point, Leo could see the indigenous army, which had been covered by witchcraft, being instantly wiped out in large numbers. Their originally dense attacking formation looked like a mooncake with a piece bitten off, revealing a large gap.
In particular, the several level-two spells mixed in are more violent, have a wider range, and are 3 to 5 times more lethal than First-Level Wizard of the same type.
" Level Two Wizard has 200 points of mental power, which allows them to unleash 30 to 40 times their attack power, or 6,000 to 8,000 points. However, in this other world, they can only utilize 80% of that power, or 4,800 to 6,400 points."
Leo silently calculated the gap between himself and Level Two Wizard. Due to the rapid advancement of the Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, various passive cell stimulation methods, and the accelerated evolution caused by nuclear radiation, Leo felt that he was about to reach the threshold of level two advancement.
Now that there's Level Two Wizard by his side, Leo naturally wants to carefully examine the gap between himself and Level Two Wizard.
"The speed at which I can cast spells is much faster, the speed at which I can absorb energy is also much faster, and the circulation of magic power within my body far surpasses that of First-Level Wizard."
"The books say that because of the improvement in mental strength, a Level Two Wizard can control their magic more precisely, making full use of every bit of magic."
"In other words, the enhancement of mental strength makes the body more sensitive to magical power, and one unit of magical power can now unleash twice the attack power."
As the wizard unleashed his magic, the slave army behind him and the Ancient of War on both sides of the fortress also began to unleash their power.
Their attacks were significantly weaker than witchcraft, but tens of thousands of attacks, regardless of their level, would still be enough to cause serious damage.
The Ancient of War Leo was paying attention to was quite interesting. Their attack involved using their roots to grab stones larger than houses from the ground, mixing them with a large amount of earth elemental energy, and then hurling these stones heavily into the native army like catapults.
The attack method may seem primitive and clumsy, but these large stones would suddenly disintegrate above the native army, then turn into thousands of smaller stones that would rain down upon them.
Because it is rich in earth elemental energy, this is not a simple physical attack, but a wide-range saturation attack with an attack power of 200 to 500 points.
There are three thousand Ancient of War, arranged in ten dense, interwoven layers along the Polyhedral Fortress.
Although their attack speed was slow, the three thousand Ancient of War were commanded to attack in alternating waves, and the damage they caused was second only to the wizards.
Each attack caused the native army to cry out in despair.
Other attacks can be dodged by observing their trajectory if you pay attention, but these stones broken into thousands of pieces are impossible to avoid.
Because the Ancient of War move slowly and attack slowly, only five hundred Ancient of War attack each round. Even if the attack of one War Tree is broken down into a thousand pieces, five hundred times that is still five hundred thousand human heads in terms of damage inflicted with elemental attacks.
They completely covered the entire native army; there was nowhere to hide!
"As expected of a slave to the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard, such a powerful slave is enough to make any Stigmata Wizard envious," Kaba praised, looking at the vast army of natives falling to the ground.
Leo strongly agreed with this view. In this brief, small-scale battle, the most outstanding performer was undoubtedly the Polyhedral Fortress, which, given enough energy, could completely decapitate a level 3 life form.
Secondly, it wasn't the three hundred wizards, but these three thousand Ancient of War. Their damage was second only to the wizards, but there was one thing the wizards couldn't match.
That's because the damage was low; many of the native armies weren't killed by the Ancient of War, but were simply knocked unconscious.
These unconscious native soldiers are more valuable than the dead ones. Although they are not giants, capturing them alive would earn 10% to 20% more battle merit than killing them.
Ordinary wizards need slaves, which they can either capture themselves or buy. However, capturing slaves themselves is time-consuming and laborious, and there's no guarantee of finding satisfactory ones. Buying slaves is different; as long as you have money, you can buy the best.
Where do these slaves come from? Besides those bred by the various worlds themselves, they are captured during these expeditionary wars.
Ordinary wizards can only enslave a small number of slaves. Even someone like Leo, who signed Battle Partner Contract with a level three Benji when he was at level one, was unable to sign other slaves. He could only have the spare power when he advanced to level two and underwent a soul transformation.
Saintly Stigmata Wizard Stigmata Wizard need it even more, as they can enslave hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of slaves.
However, for Stigmata Wizard, a large army of slaves is not necessarily better the more they are, but rather the more cost-effective they are.
Slaves also need to eat and live, and the larger the army of slaves, the greater the expenses.
Therefore, while ensuring combat effectiveness, slaves who are individually extremely strong in combat, can cooperate with each other, and possess a certain level of intelligence are particularly popular, or rather, they are practically the slave template in the minds of the Stigmata Wizard.
The reason why undead slaves were so popular in the Wizard World was because undead did not require energy. However, the drawbacks of undead slaves were later discovered, which led to their gradual decline.
While other Stigmata Wizard were still worrying about the basic needs of their slave armies, the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard's slaves were all living plants.
Living plants don't have high requirements for their living environment; they only need to be planted in one world.
They absorb energy from food and grow on their own; they don't need any care at all.
The only possible drawback is its slow growth and slow advancement.
But the Stigmata Wizard has plenty of time; as long as there are enough active plants, he can wait.
Leo heard that this time, the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard brought an army of over 100 million living plant slaves, and many of them were seeds that could be used only once.
If it weren't for the excessively long expedition time, a single Purple-Gold Vine -Stigmata Wizard could conquer many worlds by slowly invading with an army of living plant slaves.
The universe is vast and full of wonders; Leo could only say that he had learned a great deal!
The opposing native army wasn't just taking the hits without retaliating; they unleashed a barrage of attacks, some hitting the Polyhedral Fortress, others the Ancient of War.
The Polyhedral Fortress has more defensive rune arrays than offensive arrays, so there's no need to worry about it being broken.
Even with so many attacks, the Polyhedral Fortress can still recover some of its energy reserves more quickly.
The Polyhedral Fortress has the ability to absorb attack damage and convert it into energy.
Leo's eyes lit up, as if he had found the next target for the rune array on his body!
As for the damage to the Ancient of War, it did indeed harm them, and several were even destroyed.
However, most ancient trees can draw energy from the ground to regenerate themselves. As long as they don't suffer too much damage in a short period of time, there's no need to worry about them being destroyed. After the battle, Ancient of War and recover in time.
Behind the Polyhedral Fortress, the 30,000-strong slave army was blocked by the Polyhedral Fortress, and only a few attacks were able to get through, causing no damage whatsoever to the slave army.
"The indigenous army has entered within one kilometer, and its numbers have dwindled to only 50,000."
A distance of one kilometer is practically a knife-to-knife fight; under such elemental attacks, it's like fighting face-to-face.
The attacks around the Polyhedral Fortress intensified, with tens of thousands of attacks raining down almost every instant.
They peeled away the layers of the native army, reducing them to a fraction of their strength, and their overwhelming attack power meant that every step the native army took was a bloody one.
Finally, the native army reached the front of the Polyhedral Fortress. Just as they stretched out their claws to touch Polyhedral Fortress, they were instantly blasted to ashes by multiple attacks from various angles.
