Although the level two slaves are not strong in attack, they can still manage to break through these fortresses. However, the vast majority of the slave army are always level one, and the number of level two slaves is less than one-tenth of the number of level one slaves.
At the current pace, only 1,500 seats can be leveled per day.
This figure is significantly lower than the calculated number, and it also includes 200 to 300 seats contributed by Leo alone.
After all, wizards and slaves are not tireless machines; they also need to take turns resting and recovering their magical power. 1,500 per day is already the fastest speed they can achieve.
The wizards in the command center looked at the map and saw what appeared to be the location of the Diro People's holy land, then let out a long sigh.
They marked all the possible holy sites in black and the locations they had already conquered in red.
Currently, the black area appears as far as the eye can see, while the red area is only a faint dot.
Although the wizards didn't believe in unfounded theories of luck, they still hoped that luck would smile upon them and allow them to quickly find the so-called holy land; otherwise, they would truly waste the entire expedition's time here.
Although they obeyed Leo, they privately felt that Leo's decision to search for the holy land was too rash and lacked rationality.
70% of the wizards believed that Leo would not succeed, and most of the remaining 30% remained neutral and indifferent, since there was no difference between here and the main battlefield. Only less than 10% of the wizards believed that Leo would succeed.
Shadow Walking
Release the Gravity Domain,
Look for suspicious clues.
Then, every few days, they would inquire whether any findings had been made.
This situation lasted for five years.
Leo couldn't even remember how many metal fortresses he had infiltrated or how many Cyborg he had killed; the repetitive daily experience had numbed him somewhat.
The Gravity Domain consumes a great deal of mana. In order to complete the mission as soon as possible, Leo's only rest time was when he replenished his mana using nuclear fission.
After all, he had placed a lot of bets on this mission, and once the impulsiveness wore off, Leo began to regret his rashness.
Why not simply submit the intelligence and steadily collect the war merits instead of using special privileges to try and make a big profit?
People,
That's still too greedy!
Still no findings?
"Master Leo, no."
"What about those Diro People? Did they sense anything?"
"No, Master."
The same conversation has been repeated countless times.
It has been seven years since he requested the wizard army from the command center. They have already conquered one-fifth of the marked black area, but perhaps due to bad luck, they still haven't found anything.
The merits from conquering the metal fortress were still being calculated, but these merits could not compensate for Leo's exhaustion.
"Master, there's something I need to report to you."
"You say."
"According to the information relayed back by our scout wizards, there is a 1,000-meter-high metal fortress located 3,000 kilometers ahead."
"One thousand meters high?" Leo stopped and asked in surprise.
Does the command center have the relevant intelligence?
This was the first time Leo had ever heard of such a tall metal fortress. If such a metal fortress were to transform into a metal giant, it would easily be hundreds of meters tall, a standard World Lord.
The Rota World has a total of three World Lord: one level five and two level four. One of the level four rulers has been killed by the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, and there is still no news about the remaining two World Lord.
Back when the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard went after those two World Lord, all three of them seemed to have vanished.
"The command center has no relevant intelligence."
"I submitted an application to the command center in my name, but after all these years, there's still no news from the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard. This metal fortress, clearly belonging to the World Lord, isn't even registered. What are these command wizards doing? Don't they even want to complete the expedition as soon as possible...?"
The wizard in charge of coordinating the army's operations dared not utter a sound as he listened to Leo's angry outburst.
Neither Leo nor the central command wizard on the starship could be offended by him. He was just an ordinary Level Two Wizard, so he simply ignored those offensive words.
"I will immediately submit an application to the command center."
Having finally heard Leo's angry outburst, the wizard quickly hung up the phone, fearing that listening any longer would affect his future path.
It's hard to imagine a Legendary Wizard resorting to vulgar insults.
Leo's foul language completely ruined his image of the Legendary Wizard.
Let him know that even Legendary Wizard are wizards, and they have tempers too.
Not long after, Leo didn't receive any feedback from his own command center; instead, he received orders from the central command.
"Master, the thousand-meter-long metal fortress ahead of you is the fortress of the World Lord to fall at the hands of the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard."
" The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard Stigmata Wizard wishes to see you. Please go there immediately."
Upon hearing that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard wanted to see him, Leo didn't immediately head to the thousand-meter metal fortress. Instead, he questioned the command center, "Didn't you say you had no news of the Stigmata Wizard before? How come you suddenly have?"
Leo wasn't angry that they dared to conceal information from him, but rather that they dared to conceal information from a holder of First-Class Wizard Medal, which was no small matter.
He may not use privileges, but they cannot be absent.
If they dare to hide the information about the Stigmata Wizard from me now, who knows how many more they'll have to hide from me in the future.
In this war of expedition to another world, intelligence is the most crucial element. If the intelligence is flawed, it can endanger one's own life at best, and lead to the failure of the entire expedition at worst.
"Please forgive us, Master. We only received information about the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard within three breaths before you requested the information. We did not intentionally withhold information."
"If you don't believe me, Master, you can return to the mothership now and check the information time."
Hearing the other party's sincere apology and their willingness to investigate, Leo finally calmed down.
After hanging up the crystal ball, he briefly instructed the army to continue advancing, and then quickly made his way towards the distant, thousand-meter-high metal castle using Shadow Walking.
"Do you think the holy site we're looking for might be inside this castle?"
Yaoyao studied a map intently and suddenly discovered that the location of the thousand-meter-tall metal castle perfectly matched the information given by the Diro People.
Furthermore, this is the castle of a Level-Four World Lord. If the holy land of the Diro People truly exists and has a way to restrain the Cyborg, given the strength of the Cyborg have occupied the entire plane, they would definitely not let go of the so-called holy land.
So, building the largest metal castle on the Holy Land seems... quite reasonable, right?
"Hehe, if that's really the case, wouldn't it mean we've wasted our time?"
After walking for more than ten minutes, Leo arrived in front of the kilometer-long fortress and felt the terrifying aura emanating from it, just like the one he had felt before the expedition to the Tower of Elements. It was the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard.
After killing that World Lord, the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard took over this place.
I don't know when they occupied this place, they don't send messages to the mothership, and they don't leave, which is a bit strange.
Could it be that they discovered something here and have been secretly researching it?
Leo's heart sank. He was a little uneasy about Yaoyao's suggestion, as it seemed to make sense.
The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard discovered the holy land of the Diro People first, and then researched ways to defeat the Cyborg.
" Leo, Level Two Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, has come to pay homage to the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard!" Leo shouted loudly at the metal fortress.
"Come in."
The metal fortress gates swung open with a loud crash, and a voice drifted out.
Leo took a deep breath, knowing that he could only get answers to his questions after meeting the Stigmata Wizard.
He stepped inside and quickly made his way to the top floor.
When Leo reached the top floor, he saw the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard wielding what looked more like a spiked club than a staff.
He sat high on a metal chair, holding a staff in his right hand, while a metal object floated in his outstretched left hand.
An intense pressure emanated from him, enveloping the entire metal fortress; with each breath, the space itself seemed to ripple.
Leo could not go any further within a hundred meters. The pressure here was so real that it firmly blocked Leo's steps. Unless he activated his Bloodline Power, he could not get any closer.
" Leo, Level Two Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, has met Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard."
Leo gripped the Godslaying Staff, channeling all his magical power to resist the oppressive aura emanating from the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, and bowed respectfully.
"Not bad, another Elemental Body Refinement Wizard has appeared."
The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard spoke with a smile, clearly valuing Leo's identity highly, but his imposing aura showed no sign of abating.
" Stigmata Wizard, have you seen many Elemental Body Refinement Wizard?"
Yaoyao perched on Leo's shoulder, craning her neck and asking curiously.
"How is that possible? Becoming Elemental Body Refinement Wizard is so difficult, and the process is fraught with countless crises and deaths. Very few survive. In the past tens of thousands of years, I have seen less than a thousand Elemental Body Refinement Wizard."
The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard chuckled, showing no displeasure at Yaoyao's sudden words.
"As expected of the Stigmata Wizard, you've already seen a thousand Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, and we've only seen two so far."
There are some things that Leo can't say, but Yaoyao say without any problem.
The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard seems to have an extraordinary affection for the Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, as he can actually chat with Yaoyao for a long time, a scene that would be impossible for other Stigmata Wizard.
When Yaoyao talks to Leo, she usually pretends to be stupid, which is incredibly annoying.
But when chatting with other wizards, one must be both emotionally and intellectually sharp, making the other person feel delighted.
