If it were anyone else, the command center would have already brushed it off with the excuse of manpower shortage, but no matter how difficult Leo's request was, they had to agree to it.
"I will follow your instructions, Master."
Leo led ten Level Three Great Wizard and one hundred level-three slaves toward the next metal fortress.
Although Leo was only at the second level of strength, he was at the very center of the crowd, surrounded by admirers!
Having randomly chosen a metal fortress that hadn't yet been attacked, Leo addressed all the wizards, "Please wait a moment, Great Wizard, I'll be right back."
Leo moved a few steps and vanished instantly.
The Level Three Great Wizard who remained in place exchanged glances, each seeing envy in the other's eyes.
A Level Two Wizard commands these Level Three Wizard —that's the allure of the wizarding medals.
A few breaths later, Leo returned and said to the level-three slaves, "You can attack, but just force him to transform; don't actually damage him."
"Yes,"
The level three slaves began their attack, lightly striking here and there. If the metal fortress extended its cannons, it would immediately be met with a frenzied assault from the slaves.
Prevent the metal fortress from attacking, but keep harassing him.
The expedition had been going on for some time, and the slaves had long since learned how to deal with these iron lumps.
Leo and the ten Level Three Great Wizard watched silently from the air for half an hour, but they saw no sign of the metal fortress transforming. It seemed that the metal fortress did not have the ability to transform.
Leo then said, "You can attack freely now. Just take care of the Cyborg inside."
Upon hearing this, the level three slaves instantly went berserk, tearing open the thick metal layer of the metal fortress with the most violent means, and pulling out the Cyborg inside one by one and crushing them to death.
"There's one more experiment. I'll trouble the Great Wizard to come with me to the next metal fortress," Leo said.
"No problem."
Upon reaching the next metal fortress untouched by the expeditionary war, Leo disappeared again, and upon emerging, instructed the level-three slaves to strike gently.
In less than three minutes, the metal fortress began to transform, turning into a metal giant within a minute.
"Kill him, my experiment is over."
Leo took out his experimental notes and quickly made a few scribbles, then smiled and said to the ten Level Three Great Wizard.
In an instant, a storm of attacks descended upon the metal giant. In just a few breaths, the Cyborg inside the metal giant's body was killed, and the massive metal giant became a metal statue.
"Thank you very much, Great Wizard."
Leo smiled as he saw the ten Great Wizard off, then took out his experimental notebook and quickly wrote down the experimental results.
What exactly are you experimenting with?
Yaoyao watched Leo's actions from beginning to end, and his mind was a bit of a mess.
Leo would run into the metal fortress and kill a few Cyborg, then have the level-three slaves do the work, just to see if the metal fortress could transform.
A moment later, he ran into the metal fortress again, killed a few Cyborg, still wanting to see if the metal fortress could complete its transformation.
Yaoyao said she didn't understand.
"What a simple experiment!"
"We discovered that the flesh and blood on the Cyborg inside the fortress actually came from several parts of the bodies of the Diro People."
"Typically, a single Diro People will be divided into five groups, forming five Cyborg units."
"That's right." Yaoyao nodded.
"The first time I had those Level Three Great Wizard extract the five Cyborg controlling the metal giant's body, it was just to see if the Cyborg controlling the metal giant were composed of the same Diro People body."
"And then?" Yaoyao asked curiously.
"That's indeed the case; the flesh and blood parts of the five Cyborg controlling the metal giants did indeed come from the same Diro People."
"The second time, I killed one person from each group of Cyborg, so they couldn't make up five people to control the Metal Titan. If they wanted to continue controlling the Metal Titan, they would have to take one person from another group of Diro People."
"But they didn't show any signs of transforming." Yaoyao answered first.
"Does this mean that to control the Metal Giant, one must be Cyborg formed from a single Diro People?" Yaoyao's eyes lit up; he knew what Leo was doing.
"Yes, that's it."
Only five Cyborg whose flesh and blood parts all come from the same Diro People can control a metal giant.
"This explains why Metal Fortress could quickly adapt to its transformation after completing its transformation and master the control of the Metal Giant in a very short time."
"Because there is a certain connection between them, they have a more tacit understanding than other Cyborg," Leo wrote quickly.
"And what about your last experiment? You killed so Cyborg."
"Each metal fortress contains between fifteen and twenty Cyborg, meaning they are derived from the dismantling of three to four Diro People."
"I killed all the other groups to see if every group had the ability to control the Metal Titan."
"Experiments have shown that it is entirely possible."
Leo looked at the metal giant lying on the ground, riddled with holes.
Each group of Cyborg within the metal fortress possesses the ability to control the metal giant. To completely dismantle their transformation abilities, it would be sufficient to kill just one Cyborg from each group.
This is the conclusion that Leo has reached from his current experiments!
Leo immediately submitted his experimental conclusions to the information exchange platform.
"Thank you for the information, Master. The corresponding battle merits will be calculated after the expedition ends."
"OK."
Leo smiled as he put away his experimental notes. This kind of experiment, which required the assistance of a level three combatant, was something that very few wizards could complete at this stage.
The command center has not yet provided any relevant intelligence, which undoubtedly indicates that he was the first to provide this type of intelligence.
The first intelligence report can yield very generous rewards.
Just as Leo was preparing to delve deeper into the secrets of these Cyborg, Benji suddenly appeared in front of Leo.
Because he couldn't keep up with Leo's speed, Leo sent him to join the Gulu Beast army.
The fact that you're rushing here so quickly means something must have happened.
"My lord, we've made a discovery over there, and we need you to take a look," Benji said in a low voice, afraid that the other wizards would overhear.
Let's go.
Leo immediately realized that there must have been an important discovery, otherwise Benji wouldn't have come in person; a simple message would have been enough to notify him.
Benji led the way, with Leo close behind. Soon they arrived at the location where the Gulu Beast army was attacking.
Because the command center knew that these Gulu Beast were Leo's slaves, no wizard dared to move Gulu Beast away, leaving them outside the command center's war sequence and allowing them to do as they pleased.
The more than 30,000 Gulu Beast focused their attacks on one direction. With Benji by their side, there has been no instance of the Metal Fortress transforming into a Metal Giant so far.
According to the information provided by Benji, more than 30,000 Gulu Beast have breached 3,000 metal fortresses, with only 97 Level 1 Gulu Beast killed in action.
Upon hearing that nearly a hundred Gru had died, Leo didn't react much. That's how expeditions are; death is the most normal thing.
Not to mention these slaves, even the mortality rate of wizards is very high. Who doesn't live with their head on the line?
Even someone of his status has struggled on the brink of life and death countless times.
Benji lived a similarly uneventful life; compared to the 97 descendants who died, their military achievements were enough to erase that sorrow.
Eighty percent of the war merits should be given to Leo, and they can only keep twenty percent. These twenty percent of the war merits will be enough for them to live and reproduce.
Other wizards didn't have Leo's generosity; their slaves only received a small amount of meager resources.
This time, Benji secretly came to find Leo, mainly because they had discovered a large number of Diro People inside a metal fortress.
They are all alive; none of them have died yet.
Very few Diro People have been discovered so far; most of them were killed by the Cyborg inside the metal fortresses.
Just like the half-dead Diro People that Leo found in front of a metal fortress, who almost escaped.
It's unclear what grudge the Cyborg and these Diro People hold against each other, but when attacked, their first instinct isn't to retaliate, but to kill the Diro People inside the fortress.
This has resulted in the wizarding army collecting very few Diro People.
Before the expedition even began, intelligence reports indicated that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had come on the expedition after receiving a distress signal from the Diro People.
When they arrived, they didn't see many Diro People.
According to the information published on the information platform, the Diro People of the distress message has not yet been identified.
Upon hearing that they were a group of living Diro People, Leo felt as if tons of war merits were waving at him.
When Leo arrived at the metal fortress that Benji had mentioned, thirty-five Diro People were surrounded by the Gulu Beast army.
Knowing the importance of these Diro People to Leo, they halted their war against the metal fortress and instead guarded the Diro People Diro People, awaiting Leo's arrival, fearing that something might happen to them.
"Lord Leo, Yaoyao Yao."
Upon seeing Leo arrive, all the Gulu Beast bowed their heads in unison to greet him.
"Get up, you did a very good job."
Leo chuckled and patted the Gulu Beast beside him. Having experienced frequent battles Heavenly Capital, the gentle aura on these Gulu Beast had dissipated considerably, replaced by a more chilling and murderous air.
Are you their leader?
Just as Leo was praising the Gulu Beast, one of the Diro People Diro People surrounded by the Gulu Beast stood up and used his mental power to ask Leo a question.
