However, Leo was not worried that he could cause any more trouble. At this point, the World Consciousness of the Rota World had already surrendered, and his fate was already sealed.
The only pitiful ones were the vast army of slaves who died alongside the metal giants.
Leo looked at the remaining slaves on the battlefield; there were less than ten million left.
From 50 million at the start of the expedition to now, the casualty rate is over 80%, and the entire army was almost wiped out.
Seeing Leo's gaze sweeping around, Yaoyao Yao smiled and said to Leo, "Don't worry, I've already told Benji and the others to hide far away. Although some Gulu Beast died, quite a few survived."
Leo nodded. The moment the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard issued the order for the slave army to hold back the metal giant, Leo knew that the final assault was about to begin.
At the time, Leo didn't know how the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard would attack, but he still asked Yaoyao to inform Benji and the others to stay away and wander around the very edge of the battlefield.
Although this approach is certainly not encouraged, Leo did not want them all to die here. The other surviving slaves were not slaves on the front lines. They were outside the metal giants' attacks and were not imprisoned by the spatial cage. It can be said that their survival was entirely due to luck.
Just as Leo had predicted, the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard's Matter Sealing Technique lasted for a month.
For the course of this month, they maintained the formation of the Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array, greedily and endlessly absorbing the energy of the entire Rota World to supply the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard.
Then, watching the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard seal the metal giant powder bit by bit.
When the spiked club was inscribed with the last rune, the Matter Sealing Technique was completed, and the metal powder in the spatial cage stopped moving.
"This expedition has concluded. Clean up the battlefield, collect your battle merits, and open the spatial portal."
Even the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard showed signs of exhaustion. Controlling the energy of the entire world was an extremely strenuous task for him, and without the assistance of the four million wizards, he would never have been able to accomplish this feat.
However, looking at the sealed metal giant, the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard revealed a smug look; this was the greatest gain of his life!!!
Compared to what was gained, the effort was negligible.
The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard has left to study his spoils.
The wizard army scattered instantly, each busy with their own affairs, but most of the wizards rushed towards the mothership, eager to redeem their battle merits as soon as possible.
Guided by Yaoyao, Leo arrived at the location where Benji and the others were hiding.
"Grown ups."
Benji led his descendants in a remorseful bow, feeling somewhat distressed that they had deserted their posts under Leo's orders.
Leo looked at the army of Gulu Beast, which had dwindled to only 15,000. Although he was somewhat prepared, the number still made his heart skip a beat.
Throughout the entire expedition, the Gulu Beast Gulu Beast army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, and those who survived were all carrying serious injuries.
Although most of the Gulu Beast that perished were during the final battle against the Metal Titan, such a high casualty rate still pained Leo deeply.
Too many Gulu Beast have died!
"While the spatial passage is open, you should rest and recuperate. If you want to take some souvenirs back, go ahead and do so. As long as you don't go too far, no one will stop you."
Leo spent all the merits from this expedition, failing to fulfill his promise to the Gulu Beast that Leo would take 80% of their achievements, leaving them with 20%.
However, due to the deal with the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, they didn't get any battle merits left, and the 20% of battle merits that the Gulu Beast Army was supposed to earn were destined to be unrealized.
Although Leo offered no compensation, the Gulu Beast couldn't find any fault with it, since the slaves' battle merits were originally meant to be given to their master.
But Leo had already made his promise, and he couldn't go back on his word.
If they don't have any battle merits, then they can only make up for it in other ways. Let them go back and get some energy metal to sell for money. Energy metal is equivalent to energy crystals.
Leo had already decided that if any wizard tried to stop him, he would use his status to act arrogantly.
We can't let these Gulu Beast shed their blood for us and then get nothing in return!
After everything was arranged, Yaoyao whispered in Leo's ear, "Come with me to the metal fortress of those two World Lord, I have something to do."
"Their metal fortresses have long been integrated into their bodies. Forget about stealing the spoils; I reckon there's nothing but dirt there."
Leo thought Yaoyao's little paws were itching again. Even though she hadn't earned any merit this time, she still wanted to get as much as possible to take back.
As the World Lord the Rota World, their fortresses should hold the most precious things in the Rota World.
"What do you take me for? I have important business to attend to."
Leo's suspicions infuriated Yaoyao, who kept hitting his earlobe. Was Yaoyao's character really that despicable?
How could they possibly be compared to a thief?
"Important business? What important business?"
Leo turned his head and carefully examined the dark-skinned Yaoyao, trying to see if he was lying through his eyes.
The result was a huffy, glaring eye roll from Yaoyao.
Seeing that Yaoyao didn't reply, and instead stood with her hands on her hips glaring at him angrily, Leo hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking in a low voice, "Is it something important that you can't tell me?"
"Um."
Yaoyao nodded.
"Alright, I'll go with you."
Leo was already used to Yaoyao Yao's strange behavior. Anyway, she couldn't keep it from him forever; he would find out when the time was right.
"Then let's hurry up and get back after we've finished our business, so we can go home and see Alice."
Yaoyao smiled and pulled a crystal ball from the Shadow Space; it turned out to be the detailed geographical coordinates of the Rota World.
The two metal fortresses of the World Lord had already been marked on the map.
Leo looked at the crystal ball that Yaoyao had hidden away at some point, and realized that the little one had been prepared all along!
A year later, a huge spatial passage had appeared next to the location of the starship, with strange machines and countless slaves lining up to walk out of the spatial passage.
The Rota World, which originally had not a single blade of grass, suddenly became a large forest of low shrubs, with the grass growing to a foot tall.
Not far away, a large number of slaves were restoring the landscape of the Rota World, planting seeds one by one.
Although the Rota World suffered from the rampant mining by Cyborg, causing widespread environmental damage, the soil still contains abundant energy.
Furthermore, the climate of the Rota World is mild, and the energy content in the air has not decreased, making it a standard medium-sized world for the reproduction of life.
There is currently no life form in the world that can interfere with the wizard's transformation, making it the perfect place for such transformations.
With a larger initial investment, you can reshape the world however you want, and the later returns will definitely be substantial.
"These wizards are really quick."
After a year of continuous travel, Leo arrived at a mountain hollow. Judging from the terrain, this place should have been a large footprint once made by a metal giant, but after simple modifications, it has actually become a mountain hollow with a flowing stream.
Benji and all the Gulu Beast were waiting here for Leo's return.
Most of the wizards who went on the expedition have returned; the few remaining wizards were those who stayed behind after receiving modification missions.
The mothership, for some unknown reason, was delayed and remained in its original position. This relieved Leo, who was worried about not receiving the final payment; at least it hadn't left.
Wizards could return via a spatial portal, but the mothership was too large, so they had to take another fourteen years to return to the Wizard World, following the same route they had come from.
"Grown ups."
A year has passed, Gulu Beast ' injuries have almost healed. Judging from their satisfied expressions, they must have gained quite a bit this year.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get something, then we'll go home."
As for what it is, it's naturally the wizard's notes that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard promised to give to Leo!
The Wizard World, the Tower of Elements, a simple wizarding territory.
When the Fire Essence Flower ripen, the landscape appears as a world of flames from the sky, and fox-like creatures can be seen hopping and leaping about in the Fire Essence Flower from time to time.
Beside the Fire Essence Flower, a 150-meter-tall tree swayed in the wind, its leaves rustling, and colorful lights appeared.
This is because the tree contains too much energy that it cannot digest and has already dissipated. This energy, when exposed to sunlight, creates such a beautiful spectacle.
Four patrol teams of Gulu Beast were vigilantly patrolling under the tree, ready to attack at the slightest disturbance.
This wasn't due to their excessive vigilance, but rather because the life force of Lord Leo's Tree of Life was too vigorous, attracting a large number of wild beasts to attack it Heavenly Capital.
To wild beasts, this tree is the best tonic, the key to breaking through their limitations.
They may not know the details of this tree, nor what kind of energy it contains.
They only needed to know that this tree provided them with the most basic sustenance.
Just smelling the scent of this tree evokes an irresistible longing from the depths of my soul!
Originally, when Leo and his group left, they only arranged one patrol team, but later there were too many wild beasts attacking them, and one team was not enough. They directly added four more teams, which was barely enough.
Later, when Alice returned from the expedition, she immediately adjusted the plan after learning what had happened. While keeping the original four patrol teams unchanged, she sent out thousands of adult Gulu Beast to actively hunt down the surrounding wild beasts.
Only after employing a two-pronged approach were they able to bring more and more wild beasts under control.
As for how many wild beasts there are, let's put it this way: these are the very wild beasts that the Gulu Beast eat every day.
No one expected that the problem of resources that had plagued the Gulu Beast would be solved in this way.
