Therefore, Leo believed that there was nothing wrong with him being forced to stop and rest, as this battle was not something that could be ended in a day or two.
Ordinary wizards need to exchange battle merits for energy crystals to live on and improve their strength. If he gets all the battle merits by himself, it will make other wizards hate him.
He's only a Level Two Wizard; there's no need for him to make enemies of millions of wizards. It would be better to stop fighting after easing the pressure on the battlefield.
Improving the battlefield survival rate of ordinary wizards while also allowing them to gain sufficient battle merits is the best outcome for them.
Ten minutes later, Leo decisively cut off the energy flow, and with a light tap of his finger, the Gravity Domain on the battlefield transformed into a black sphere in his hand.
See you in a month.
Leo reverted to human form and proactively opened his mouth with a smile, refusing Gawass's attempt to speak and persuade him to stay.
"... Master, we'll see you again in a month."
Gawass originally wanted to talk more with Leo and deepen their relationship, after all, there were many benefits to gain from building a good relationship with such Legendary Wizard with a promising future.
Unfortunately, Leo saw through his meaning and shut him down. With a single step, he vanished without a trace.
On the battlefield,
Benji was loudly reprimanding the indiscriminate attacks of his offspring, the Gulu Beast. With the Metal Legion's numbers dwindling, it was a good time to train them. They weren't much stronger than other slave armies; their only advantage was having a good master.
They cared about their lives, their food and drink, and even their training. If Leo hadn't separated them, who knows how many of these newbies who were stepping onto the battlefield for the first time would have survived.
Just look at the casualty rates of other slave armies to see how lucky they were. The original slave army that went on the expedition numbered fifty million, but now only about thirty million remained, meaning 40% had been killed in action.
And so far, they still number over 26,000, almost matching the survival rate of the wizards.
In this situation, he still dared to be careless in battle. Before the opposing Metal Legion could even make a move, he wanted to twist the heads off his own descendants.
"What a temper!"
While still Benji suddenly heard laughter behind him. The familiar voice instantly dispelled his anger, and he turned around with a fawning smile.
"Lord Leo, you're back."
"Um."
Leo nodded as he looked at the battlefield where the intensity had decreased considerably. His attack over an hour had reduced the number of the first wave of attacking Metal Legion by more than 50%, greatly alleviating the battlefield disadvantage.
Even though the wizard army is still outnumbered, their powerful attacks, combined with the same activated metal defenses, can easily deal with these Metal Legion.
Of course, the military achievements he made during this period were enough to make any wizard green with envy.
With so many achievements and a very stable battlefield situation, Leo could have quietly stayed in the rear and enjoyed the good times while the other wizards fought.
Indeed, Leo soon went to rest in a secluded spot on the battlefield, holding a few books in his hand. His leisurely demeanor made him seem more like he was on vacation at the beach than on the battlefield.
Besides gaining combat merits and understanding the limits of gravity Gravity Domain during his extreme operation of the Gravity Domain, he also gained another huge benefit.
That meant the energy within the Godslaying Staff was finally fully charged.
This is the first time the Godslaying Staff has been filled with energy since it was created.
At this moment, the heart on the Godslaying Staff had almost stopped beating, like a stomach that had been full and could no longer hold any more food.
Leo would occasionally pick up the Godslaying Staff and smile with satisfaction.
That's great!
If it weren't for the cosmic-level energy pool provided by the warship, he wouldn't know when he would have been able to fully charge the Godslaying Staff.
It might never be fully charged!
While Leo was leisurely 'vacation,' the wizard army was not idle either.
Taking advantage of the significant reduction in the number of the Metal Legion, they quickly adjusted their defensive strategy. Since all of them possessed activated metal defenses, they did not use Polyhedral Fortress, but instead used a small number of wizards with special sorcery to construct attack platforms.
To ensure more efficient kills without wasting firepower.
The Metal Legion was one of the weakest forces encountered in all the expeditions; its defensive capabilities were a major headache for the wizard army, as they had never encountered a defense so abnormally strong.
With targeted witchcraft, large-scale massacres are entirely possible, just like what Leo did.
However, without targeted magic, one can only fight little by little, and unfortunately, most wizards do not have targeted magic.
At the same time, they are also rapidly researching how to accurately locate the flesh and blood parts of the Cyborg using witchcraft, in Great Wizard army's attacks.
Leo could only say that this was the right way to do it.
This aligns with the rational nature of a wizard, rather than the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard sends a horde charging forward with a wave of his hand.
Speaking of the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, the command center said they would contact me, but I don't know when.
Leo was thinking about this when he immediately received a contact from the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard.
"I have met the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard." Leo bowed respectfully.
"I saw your performance; it was excellent. It seems I underestimated your abilities when I reduced your compensation for failing the mission. Even without my intervention, you could have completed the compensation on your own."
"You flatter me, Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard. I will never forget your care and concern. Without your help, I certainly wouldn't have been able to complete the compensation. All my achievements are built upon your wise leadership..."
Upon hearing the topic of compensation for previous mission failures, Leo's entire body tensed up. Was this Stigmata Wizard here to settle old scores?
He absolutely cannot admit to that!
"Keep your little schemes to yourself. I haven't gone so far as to make you pay compensation."
"Then thank you very much, Stigmata Wizard." Leo smiled with relief on his face. As long as he wasn't asked to pay compensation, things were much easier.
"The commander at the central command previously suggested that I award you a Second-Class Wizard Medal after the war. What are your thoughts on this?"
"Of course I agree. After all, the medal is recognition and affirmation of me. I am very grateful to the great Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard. If it weren't for you launching this expedition, I wouldn't have had such a good opportunity. I also thank the noble Wizard Will..."
Leo dared not be modest at this moment, for he was afraid that if he were, he would lose the Second-Class Wizard Medal.
Although he hadn't interacted much with the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, he had witnessed the Stigmata Wizard's bizarre methods firsthand.
He suspected that if he were even slightly polite, this Stigmata Wizard would dare to revoke his eligibility for the medal.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Upon hearing Leo begin expressing his gratitude for winning the award, the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard urgently interrupted Leo's rambling speech.
"I'll give you two choices. The first is to obtain the Second-Class Wizard Medal and all the battle merits."
"Your second option is to exchange this Second-Class Wizard Medal and all your battle merits for a chance to experience being Level Three Great Wizard, as well as some of my experience notes. I don't need to tell you how valuable these things are, do I?"
Now, tell me your choice.
Leo was about to accept the first choice when he heard the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard. The Second-Class Wizard Medal and all the battle merits were an unimaginable fortune.
While his military achievements were remarkable, the most important thing was this Second-Class Wizard Medal.
The Second-Class Wizard Medal provides an annual subsidy of 100 energy crystals. Once obtained, Leo can earn 340 energy crystals annually without doing anything, which is an astonishing fortune.
This would allow Leo to completely stop worrying about energy crystals and devote himself more fully to the path of a wizard.
However, upon hearing the second condition from the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, Leo had to admit that he was tempted.
Because he is Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, his advancement speed is naturally faster than that of normal wizards. Although it seems that he has not been able to advance to level two for several hundred years, he is about to reach the threshold of level three. However, because he has no similar experience to learn from, he is still in the stage of exploring on his own.
Now, the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard not only gave Leo a chance to experience the power of a Level Three Great Wizard, but also provided Leo with some wizard notes...
In the early stages, Elemental Body Refinement Wizard can still draw on the experience of ordinary wizards, but this changes completely in the later stages.
Just like Leo, who used to be able to advance his elemental and physical cultivation levels separately, now he has a feeling that he must advance both levels together when advancing to the third level.
There's no basis for this feeling, but I just have this feeling.
An ordinary wizard might treat the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard's Notes" as a high-level wizard's notes, but the importance of these notes to Leo is self-evident.
Originally, he was feeling his way across the river by himself, but with the notes of the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, who was also Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, Leo was able to clearly see the path to the future.
Many things that were unclear can now be easily resolved and answers found.
There's also the opportunity for Leo to experience what it's like to be a Level Three Great Wizard —an opportunity that money can't buy.
These two things combined are enough to save Leo hundreds of years of time and reduce the number of directions Leo might have to try and fail in.
Priceless treasure, absolutely priceless!!
In order to obtain the cultivation method for the Indestructible Body, Leo worked for the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard for free for more than ten years.
Now that such a great opportunity is right in front of me, it seems like I can get it just by agreeing.
These two things together are enough to propel him to the threshold of becoming Level Three Wizard.
" Stigmata Wizard, I don't believe that these battle merits and a Second-Class Wizard Medal are enough to obtain something so valuable. Do you have any other requests?"
Leo was indeed very tempted, but he wasn't blinded by such a tempting offer.
Comparing the two conditions, the second condition is clearly more advantageous to Leo, and its value far exceeds that of the first.
