" Wakeda, do you understand now?"
Leo toyed with a peculiar horn in his hand, pointing at the wizard army's fighting style and speaking to Wakeda beside him.
The horn in my hand comes from the most precious part of the head of a level three creature. It naturally has the function of absorbing energy. Even after being cut off, it continues to slowly absorb energy from the air. It is a rare and superior material that can be transformed into a magical artifact with just a little polishing.
This wasn't Leo's spoils of war; rather, a giant had found this horn and brought it over to repay Leo's kindness.
Leo estimated the value of this horn; in the Wizard World, it would sell for at least 2000 energy crystals.
This is just the value of the raw materials; the value would be even higher if it were made into a finished product.
As a result, Leo doesn't even need to say anything; people will bring it to him on their own.
Leo could easily produce hundreds of such rare and precious items from his Shadow Space; they were all gifts from his subordinates.
The rare azure energy crystal that Yaoyao was holding was so valuable that it could be used as the head of a staff for some Level-Two Elemental Wizard, and it was obtained in the same way.
The giants didn't understand its value; they just thought it was pretty and presentable, so they eagerly gave it to Leo. If Leo refused, they would be unhappy; they would only be happy if Leo reluctantly accepted it.
Wakeda scratched his head. If it were up to him to personally go to the battlefield and kill a few wild beasts, he would have no problem. Even if they were stronger than him, he would have the courage to fight.
But when Leo asked him what insights he had into the wizard army's combat methods, Wakeda replied that he was only partially informed, knowing nothing at all.
"Wizard Leo, all I can sense is that the wizard army is incredibly powerful. They know where the enemies are and always manage to eliminate them precisely."
Leo neither nodded nor shook his head at Wakeda's answer; he knew that the question was indeed beyond Wakeda's comprehension.
In Wakeda's eyes, the wizard army was indeed very powerful, and even a beast army several times larger couldn't get close, but he didn't know exactly why it was so powerful.
It is indeed difficult for someone from a primitive, indigenous civilization to understand a shaman's combat system.
" Wakeda, to become a leader, you don't need to know everything, but you need to understand everything so that your subordinates can't lie to you."
"My command center is right next to you. Go listen, but remember, you can only listen, not interrupt. How much you learn depends on your ability."
Leo pointed to a starship not far away, where Kaba and many commanders were on board.
"OK."
Wakeda nodded sullenly and flew towards the starship. He hated Kaba intensely, an inexplicable hatred. If Leo hadn't made him go, he would never have gone in his life.
Once Wakeda was out of sight, Yaoyao sneakily approached Leo and whispered in his ear, "What, trying to get involved with the giants' power?"
"Why not?"
In his soft voice, Leo's gaze was deep and complex; no one knew what he was thinking.
Leo sat on the back of Benji, who had revealed his true form. They were in the center of the army, surrounded by at least one hundred level-three powerhouses providing comprehensive protection.
Even though the wizard army has not yet allowed the beast army to break in, Leo's defensive capabilities have not weakened.
Leo watched as the army of wizards operated like precision instruments; they had turned the massacre into a highly entertaining artistic performance.
The wizards in charge of reconnaissance had already investigated the movements of all life forms a thousand kilometers away using more than a dozen methods. On the starship, there was a huge energy display that would immediately show anything that came within a hundred miles of the wizard army.
Kaba and his men would then launch a devastating attack based on the number, location, and strength of the beast army.
While ensuring no energy is wasted, it can also wipe out the entire army of wild beasts.
Commands were issued one after another, streaks of light shot out, and squads of wizards led armies of giants and slaves into battle...
The wizard army, like a multi-clawed behemoth awakening from its slumber, kept stretching out its claws, grabbing prey and swallowing them whole.
Two million wizards, twenty million giants, and an army of over one hundred million slaves, under the command of the starships, moved with perfect ease, achieving a terrifying level of individual combat command.
Leo noticed that a wizard on the front lines hadn't seen the enemy or sensed any danger, but the command center suddenly ordered him to attack a certain location.
Although there was nothing there, the wizard followed the instructions.
As a result, when the witchcraft attack reached the designated location, a beast that had fled suddenly appeared at that location, and this beast, whose strength reached level two, was instantly killed.
If Leo hadn't been paying close attention, he might have thought the beast was just unlucky to have run into the wizard's spell, since such things often happen in large-scale battles.
But what if that unfortunate beast was driven there by another wizard?
What a coincidence!
The command center can predict the movements of these beasts, so they just need to position their attacks where the beasts will move next.
Commands like these are not issued by chance, but are issued constantly. More than two thousand wizards are responsible for issuing these commands, which shows how frequent the commands are to require so many guiding wizards.
A large number of wizards, acting on orders, unleash spells that coincidentally attack the beast army, causing its numbers to mysteriously decrease.
Terrifying information processing capabilities, terrifying command abilities, and terrifying teamwork skills.
When these abilities are combined, two million wizards become the most terrifying killing machine.
If a command center that was only temporarily set up can achieve this level, then how high must the level be for the command center of the starship that directs the entire expeditionary operation?
By observing a part of the leopard, one can see the whole picture. Only after Leo gained a certain degree of command did he realize that the previous expeditionary wars may not have even utilized one-tenth of their war potential, and a large amount of strength had been hidden.
In other words, even if everyone's strength is only 80%, the wizards still have a lot of power that they haven't shown.
The expedition to the world has only shown the tip of the iceberg; the real iceberg is still hidden underwater.
Even though Leo is now a wizard, and a wizard who has received First-Class Wizard Medal, he still feels that the world of wizardry is too deep, and he can't see the bottom at all...
" Leo, why didn't the God of Giants just fly over and crush the God of Beasts to death? Flying over so slowly, isn't that just giving the God of Beasts time?"
Yaoyao held onto the azure energy crystal tightly, looking at the figure of the thousand-meter-tall God of Giants high in the sky with a question in her eyes.
The God of Giants was not hindered by any life; he could have easily flown over and killed the God of Beasts. The fact that he was flying so slowly clearly indicated that he was waiting for the army of wizards below.
The war God of Giants below didn't interfere, leisurely watching the battle as it flew slowly.
"That's where the wisdom of the God of Giants lies."
"Let me ask you, if, as you said, the God of Giants flies over and stomps the God of Beasts to death, what happens next?" Leo asked with a smile.
"What do you mean, what do we do next?" Yaoyao didn't understand.
"You need to understand one thing: although the Giant World is dominated by giants, their numbers are far from enough to rule the entire world. In particular, there are countless wild beasts that roam the mountains and plains. These are a complex web of races, whose numbers are dozens of times greater than the giants combined. Although the God of Beasts is dead, they are not. They will be the biggest obstacle to the giants' expansion in the future."
"You've only killed the God of Beasts so far, what about the beasts below level three? Are you going to let the God of Giants kill them one by one?"
" The God of Giants is the Level-Six World Lord; he doesn't have that kind of patience," Leo said.
"I see. The God of Giants is using us to clear obstacles for the giant race, killing all the resistance forces, so that the giant race will have the most precious time to develop."
"Even if other races develop in the future, they will not be a match for the giants." Yaoyao's eyes widened, not expecting that the seemingly brute God of Giants had so many ideas.
"Heh, do you think the God of Giants is that simple? He has many more plans in store." Leo said meaningfully, but didn't elaborate.
His strength was too weak. Even though he had reached the Level Two Body Refinement Wizard cultivation, he was still pitifully weak in the eyes of those Stigmata Wizard. It was best to pretend that he didn't know many of the secrets.
The wizarding army continued its advance, sweeping across mountains, forests, and rivers.
They seem to be the most diligent cleaners, determined to give the Giant World a thorough cleaning, washing away years of grime and leaving the giant race with a bright Giant World.
The beast army was ever-growing, its numbers never dwindling. In fact, a year later, the beast army had grown even larger, slowing the wizard army's advance.
"Can't you see? We're close to the lair of the God of Beasts. He's desperate."
The wizard army has been held back for a full half month, and even with all its firepower, it still cannot push back the suicidal beast army.
Despite facing two weeks of stagnation, heavy losses in the slave army, and even casualties among wizards and giants, Leo remained firmly in the central army and even had time to joke with Yaoyao.
This is the greatest obstacle they have encountered since setting out against the God of Giants, and it also means that this is the God of Beasts' last desperate struggle. If they can withstand this wave, they will be only one step away from victory.
The army of beasts was truly using their own corpses to hinder the wizards' advance; their dead bodies had already filled all the giants' wizarding rings.
Even the giants who used to be eager to eat the carcasses of wild animals and even fought with other giants over a few carcasses were now unwilling to bend down and pick up a few more corpses, letting these once precious foods lie on the ground to mold and rot.
