His mind raced, realizing they had arrived at their destination: a tribe of over 100,000 Gnoll.
The colossal body of the Earth Giant appeared outside the tribe. Just by looking inside, countless Gnoll bled from all seven orifices and died the instant their eyes met those of the weak Gnoll.
Screams of fear, terror, and weeping instantly filled the air above the entire tribe.
Faced with such terrifying life, they didn't know how to deal with it; a single glance from a member of their small tribe would mean certain death.
The once mighty tribal warriors had lost their former ferocity. Under the relentless gaze of this terrifying giant, they could only tremble in fear, unable even to hold onto the weapons that had given them their confidence.
Who are you? Why have you come to my tribe?
A Gnoll figure rose into the sky in fear, barely managing to meet the gaze of the Earth Giant.
"Level three, not bad, you're the one."
The Earth Giant watched as the only Gnoll in the tribe took flight. This was the only level three among the entire tribe, and also the purpose of his journey.
"Come over."
The Earth Giant reached out and grabbed the level 3 Gnoll without any resistance.
The vast difference in strength allowed the level-three Gnoll to be manipulated like toys by the Earth Giant.
"What are you trying to do? If you become an enemy of us Gnoll, our great God of Gnoll will not let you get away with it."
Feeling the terrifying giant hand gripping his head, ready to crush it at any moment, the overwhelming pressure from a higher level left him powerless to resist, and he could only cry out for his god.
"Enough with the nonsense. Your god died yesterday, didn't you know?"
The Earth Giant completely disregarded what the Level 3 Gnoll was thinking and directly and violently invaded his brain with its mental power.
Amidst the agonizing howls of the level 3 Gnoll, the Earth Giant forcefully branded himself upon his soul.
The level-three Gnoll stopped howling and struggling, prostrating itself at the feet of the Earth Giant, and respectfully called out, "Master."
The Earth Giant scrutinized his first slave, able to clearly sense any emotional fluctuations in the Level 3 Gnoll before him through the brand left in his soul.
While retaining his independent thinking, he was also incredibly docile and obedient. Although his strength was very weak, calculated by attack power, his attack power was just over 10,000 points, which was at the bottom level of level three, even weaker than Benji back then.
The wizard's terrifying method of enslavement is indeed extremely frightening; Leo wouldn't hesitate for a second to commit suicide now.
"Go, go and injure all the level two Gnoll in your tribe, tie them up, and wait for the arrival of the wizard army."
"Remember, only injure them, do not kill any of them."
The Earth Giant coldly commanded the level-three Gnoll crawling at his feet.
"Yes, great master."
The level-three Gnoll didn't react at all, as if Leo had ordered him to fight Gnoll who were completely unrelated to him, showing no regard for the fact that those Gnoll were his closest tribal relatives.
The level 3 Gnoll quickly returned to his tribe, facing his closest comrades, his dearest family, and his best friends, and immediately raised his weapon.
Leo listened to the screams from within the tribe and watched as the level-three Gnoll slaves attacked all the level-two Gnoll.
They executed Leo's orders perfectly, killing none of them and severely injuring them all.
The biggest reason why wizards have become terrifying beings that intimidate countless civilizations in the universe is that Stigmata Wizard can enslave life without limit.
It can leave its mark on the souls of countless lives. No matter what kind of beings they were before, after completing the soul imprint, they become the most obedient slaves.
Wizards conquered world after world with countless armies of slaves, and then used the resources of these worlds to support even more slaves, and used even more slaves to conquer even more worlds. This cycle repeated itself, making the wizard civilization a dominant civilization that resounded throughout the universe!
It can be said that the wizarding civilization of Heavenly Capital built on the bones of the slave army. Countless enslaved lives paved the way for the powerful world of the wizarding civilization of today with their own corpses!
The Gnoll World has 50 million Level 1 Gnoll, 5 million Level 2 Gnoll, and 30,000 Level 3 Gnoll.
The original plan was that after Leo killed the God of Gnoll, Leo and the Level 3 Gulu Beast would eliminate these Level 3 Gnoll one by one.
Although level three Gnoll are at the bottom of the level three hierarchy, they are still level three, not level one or two, and can inflict serious damage on Leo's weakest wizard army.
But now that Leo has advanced to the Stigmata, he has a better way to handle things: enslave all the Level 3 Gnoll and let them fight back and kill the Level 2 Gnoll.
They cannot be killed, because every Gnoll of official rank or above is a valuable asset. A level 2 Gnoll can be sold to a merchant group for 400 to 500 energy crystals.
If we capture and sell all the level-two Gnoll in the Gnoll World, all the current problems, debts, and predicaments will be solved.
As for those level one Gnoll, they are worth between 50 and 80 energy crystals each, depending on their appearance and strength.
The Gnoll World,
There are fifty million level-one Gnoll and five million level-two Gnoll. What a fortune that is!
Once Leo conquers the Gnoll World, he'll instantly go from being penniless to being rich!
Such immense wealth was the fundamental reason why the thirty-seven Stigmata Wizard fought over this world!
Normally, the benefits of an expedition to a world wouldn't be this great; the bulk of the cost is paying for the mothership, plus the enormous expenses for military achievements!
However, these costs are unnecessary for Leo. The mothership can directly open space channels, which may bring some combat achievements, but few.
With so few wizards and over a million Wizard Apprentice, how much battle merit could they possibly acquire?
On average, each person earns 100 energy crystals in battle merit, which is enough for those apprentices to earn with all their might. Don't forget that they received their battle merits in advance, and the weapons they have were all provided by Leo.
The main force in the war is the Gulu Beast, who are Leo's subordinates. There's no need to pay them for battle merits; just take good care of them.
So Leo really struck gold this time!
"After capturing all the level 2 Gnoll in this tribe, go to nearby tribes to capture other level 2 Gnoll."
"On the day the wizard army arrives, you will follow them and obey their commands."
Leo gave instructions to his first level-three Gnoll.
"Yes, great master."
Leo stepped forward and headed towards the next tribe with level three Gnoll.
Leo's plan was to control all the Level 3 Gnoll and then have them capture as many Level 2 Gnoll as possible.
This would wipe out the upper echelons of the entire Gnoll World, leaving only the low-ranking and first-level Gnoll.
This way, one can save costs, speed up conquest, and expand one's slave army—there's simply no better method.
The terrain and tribe distribution of the Gnoll World were thoroughly investigated two years ago, and the locations of level three combatants were clearly marked long ago.
The Shadow Walking two hundred kilometers in a single step, Leo can reach a tribe in just a few steps, easily grabbing a level three Gnoll with a casual grab.
They forcibly enslaved them without explanation, then made them capture those level-two Gnoll themselves.
After a day, Leo had enslaved 258 level-three Gnoll. Even if each of them captured twenty level-two Gnoll, that would still amount to five thousand.
If it weren't for the time it took to find them, Leo could have enslaved them much faster!
"Dean, the army has officially launched its attack, and everything is going smoothly."
Although Hu Jianxing's voice inside the crystal ball sounded very calm, everyone could hear the barely suppressed excitement within it.
"I have enslaved all the level-three Gnoll marked around the spatial passage. They are currently capturing level-two Gnoll. Be careful as you advance."
"Yes, Dean."
On the other side of the crystal ball, Hu Jianxing could no longer contain his excitement; their dean was simply too powerful.
Not only have they dealt with the World Lord, but they've also taken down the Level 3 Gnoll Level 2 Gnoll. How could the remaining forces in the Gnoll World possibly be a match for them?
Is this the joy of waging war under the leadership of a Stigmata Wizard?
In the current Gnoll World, the wizard army easily destroys one tribe after another, annihilating one life after another that resists.
In the future, they can also follow in the footsteps of the Dean and spread their wizarding civilization to every world, letting every world know their terror!
Fear must be etched into their bones, into the depths of their souls!
Even countless generations later, the mere mention of a wizard's name would send them into a frenzy, preventing them from sleeping. They would instead hide in a corner, kneeling on the ground, begging for forgiveness!
Without the resistance of the World Lord, the Gnoll World is now like a naked, bound beauty placed before Leo, Leo can do whatever he wants with her.
Any resistance would be futile against Leo; they would only be crushed by Leo with a flick of his wrist.
A year later, on the main battlefield where the wizard army clashed with the Gnoll World,
Five hundred Official Wizard, leading an army of five hundred thousand Gulu Beast and one hundred thousand High-Rank Wizard Apprentice, are engaged in a direct battle against more than three million Gnoll.
This is the first time the wizard army has encountered a large-scale Gnoll World army since entering the Gnoll World a year ago.
By this time, the wizard army had occupied a full one-tenth of the Gnoll World according to their battle plan.
At the current pace of the war, it would only take ten years to completely conquer the Gnoll World!
However, this unexpected Gnoll army halted their advance!
