The seemingly slender branches reached in through the gap in the protective shield, like a casual slap, and the third layer of the starship was directly shattered by the branches. With just one strike, the starship suffered devastating damage, and the energy cannon that was brewing was also interrupted.
Seeing that the battle was completely going against them, Leo immediately picked up the crystal ball and contacted the command center in the sternest tone.
"Master Leo, please speak."
An anxious voice came from inside the crystal ball, and in the background, one could hear chaotic sounds, various reports of damage, and shouts. It seemed that the sudden turn of events had caught them off guard.
That last hit just missed the second layer; otherwise, it would have wiped them all out.
"As a holder of the First-Class Wizard Medal, I hereby issue the following command."
"First, immediately contact the Wizard World, report our situation, and request assistance."
"Second, notify all wizards to hide where they are, ensure their safety, and await rescue from the Wizard World."
"Master Leo, I must remind you that the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard has not yet fallen, and we have not yet reached the point of defeat. Once these two orders are issued, it will mean that you admit the failure of this expedition."
The command center on the other side was stunned by Leo's orders. In addition to the literal meaning, Leo's two orders also meant to abandon the rescue of the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard and let him die at the hands of this World Lord.
Such a responsibility is not something that these commanding wizards can bear.
The value of a single Stigmata Wizard exceeds the combined value of all their wizards and slaves.
According to past expedition missions, even if all wizards and slaves were to die, the safety of the Stigmata Wizard must be protected.
The other wizards in the command center must have heard Leo's order; for a moment, the entire command center fell silent.
"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong. You all need to immediately activate the starship's backup system and teleport it away. Make sure it doesn't fall into enemy hands. Then, like the other wizards, hide where you are, protect yourselves, and wait for rescue."
Is there still a need to rescue the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard?
He's been drained down to only ninety meters tall, and has already entered the third level of strength. Is there any point in saving Stigmata Wizard like this?
No,
It's just that no one dared to defy the Wizard Will.
All the wizards knew about this, but no one dared to do what Leo did. Only he dared to issue such an order at a critical moment. This was the privilege of having the command authority in war granted by the First-Class Wizard Medal.
"Following Master Leo's orders, we will carry them out now."
"We hope the master will protect himself and await rescue from the Wizard World."
With Leo taking responsibility, the opposing team immediately disconnected the crystal ball.
The wizards at the command center will change the war execution plan as quickly as possible, as requested by Leo.
Leo quickly saw the execution of the command reflected in the Ice Mirror: the remaining wizards stopped attacking and scattered in all directions without looking back.
As for the slaves, under the command of the central command, they continued their attack at the cost of their own lives, buying time for the wizards to escape safely.
The energy cannons of the starship stopped converging and, after flashing countless lights, vanished instantly, disappearing without a trace. No one knew where they had been teleported to.
Many wizards appeared at the location where the starship had just stopped. As soon as they appeared, they flew off in different directions. These were the wizards from the command center; they had also fled.
On the entire battlefield, only millions of slaves remained, along with the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard had been drained of his life force.
If Leo were there, he would have heard incredibly foul curses, all from that Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard.
On his first expedition as Stigmata Wizard, he was not only ambushed, but the wizards also ran away faster than anyone else, completely disregarding his Stigmata Wizard or death.
The Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard knew perfectly well who would dare issue such an order; it must have been the order from the holder of the First-Class Wizard Medal who refused his recruitment.
All the slaves knew their fate, and with cries of defiance, they continued to charge, even though they couldn't break a single bark of the tree with all their might, but they used their lives to buy time for the wizards to escape.
When faced with attacks from those sharp green leaves, they will use their own bodies to block them if they have no other means to do so.
"Let's run!"
Yaoyao was so anxious she was almost jumping up and down. Such a powerful World Lord was simply not something a miniature world should exist.
Unusual situations mean danger!
No wizards could be seen in the Ice Mirror; they had all vanished, each using their own methods, and no one knew where they were hiding.
Seeing the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard drained of his life force and all the slaves wiped out, this expedition had utterly failed.
"Um,"
Leo's body kept deforming, all the hair on his head fell off, his original body was stretched, and his five fingers became six. Within a few breaths, Leo transformed into a standard Homo sapiens.
He put his Godslaying Wizard Robe into the Shadow Space, took out a set of Homo sapiens clothes and put them on, and Leo transformed into a Homo sapiens.
" Benji, you can't go into the city; you'll have to hide in the wild."
"Yes, sir." Benji looked at Leo, who had transformed into a Homo sapiens, with only one eye, his expression full of curiosity.
" Yaoyao, you can appear when no one's around, but when people are around, you should hide in the Shadow World."
"No problem."
Yaoyao looked Leo up and down, who had a big head, no hair, long limbs, and six fingers, and was very Leo had changed.
"All those years of nuclear radiation exposure weren't wasted; I can adjust it within a controllable range according to my own needs."
Leo looked at his body, feeling a little unaccustomed to his sudden transformation.
" Alice is so lucky! You'll have so many new tricks up your sleeves!"
Upon seeing that Leo could transform, Yaoyao's first thought made Leo's face darken; this little guy was going to get a beating again.
But Leo ignored him and rushed towards a city on the ground, intending to use the vast population of the Homo Sapiens World to conceal his whereabouts.
Leo landed in the woods outside the city. Thanks to his previous negotiation with the leader of the Homo sapiens on behalf of the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard, he received a lot of bribes from the leader, most of which were money from the Homo Sapiens World.
Leo used the money in his hands to provide the best cover. As for the communication problem, Homo sapiens learned the language of Homo sapiens on the second day of Leo's negotiations.
They forged Homo sapiens ID cards and successfully infiltrated the city.
With a large sum of money at his disposal, Leo checked into the most luxurious hotel and became the hotel's most extravagant guest.
If you have money, no one will question your identity!
The first step of infiltration was perfectly accomplished!
Any recent news?
The Homo Sapiens World also has information dissemination tools similar to television, only they don't call them television.
Leo sipped his expensive drink and flipped through all the TV channels, but he couldn't find the information he wanted; he couldn't find any information about wizards whatsoever.
It was as if the arrival of their wizarding expeditionary force had never happened, and there was no need to search for the hundreds of thousands of wizards who had fled and gone into hiding; life was no different from before.
But these things only happened less than a month ago.
Such a momentous event, capable of changing history, seems to have been erased from existence.
Leo had only been infiltrating for two days, but what he discovered already sent chills down Leo spine. Completely erasing the memories of an entire race and preventing the race from questioning the knowledge gap—how could such methods belong to a simple World Lord?
This is an extremely terrifying world. Sometimes Leo even thinks about digging a hole and burying himself, waiting for the wizards' rescue army to arrive before digging him out.
"Yes, the most famous dancer, Makeyevsky, will be touring our city tomorrow."
"The Federal Prime Minister just announced his resignation two hours ago and will serve as acting prime minister until a new candidate takes office."
"The most popular artist Zhenyunboer, has published his latest novel, which has been widely acclaimed."
The hotel waiter, with a professional smile, introduced Leo to the latest breaking news. Leo listened attentively, but deep down, she was filled with fear.
Through his subtle probing, the waiter in front of him had no idea that an alien spaceship had landed, nor that a great battle had taken place; in his memory, everything was just an ordinary day.
Every day is just going to get off work and coming home, busy making a living.
And the so-called news is all about art and dance, as if the world is a world created for art, and war and crime do not exist.
Leo had also vaguely expressed his desire to acquire some weapons, but the feedback he received was that they didn't have any.
World peace, no crime, what need is there for weapons?
It seems that all Homo sapiens have been programmed in their minds to not commit crimes. For example, when Leo was negotiating with the Homo sapiens leader, the cold weapons in the hands of those security personnel were actually just decorations and had no real killing power.
"You..."
Leo wanted to ask something more, but the waiter in front of him suddenly tilted his head, and the bones in his neck made a terrible cracking sound.
His neck was broken.
This was absolutely a fatal injury, yet the waiter could still stare intently at Leo, as if he were staring at his father's killer.
The sudden turn of events did not panic Leo. Instead, he looked at the waiter with great interest, wanting to observe what had happened to him.
The next second, something strange happened. The waiter with the broken neck, who had just been an ordinary life form with no breath, was now rapidly gaining energy.
He did not absorb energy from the outside world, nor was any energy source found within his body.
Completely disregarding the law of conservation of energy, he broke through the level one barrier in a matter of moments; the immense energy made him appear ferocious and terrifying.
