Leo neither participated in nor interfered with the war on the ground; he simply watched quietly from high above, and no one could detect him unless he wanted to be discovered by the wizards below.
Previously, he had always been a participant in wars; this was the first time he was observing from the perspective of an outsider. He wanted to use these Gnoll to test the strength of his army.
Overall, although their current strength is low, their pace of warfare and teamwork are quite good.
The Gnoll army was completely crushed and slaughtered. After half a month of fierce fighting, only a few Gnoll escaped, while the Gnoll lay dead in pools of blood.
No survivors were spared in this battle; nearly three million Gnoll were slaughtered, their corpses littering an area of hundreds of kilometers.
Aside from the chosen Child of Destiny, whose body emanated the will of the Gnoll World, he was captured by ten times the number of level three Gnoll, bound, and sent to the wizard army. He was the only prisoner captured alive by the hunters themselves; his price was too high, and no one would be so extravagant as to kill him.
This was the first large-scale operation since the wizard army attacked the Gnoll World. The purpose of leaving no survivors was to deter other Gnoll from surrendering when the wizard army arrived, rather than continuing to resist.
Their resistance was utterly crushed with the corpses of three million Gnoll!
Those escaped Gnoll were deliberately sent back as messengers; they would exaggerate the terror of the sorcerer and tell every tribe they encountered about it.
Let the death cloud brought by the wizarding army fill the entire world!
The wizards were selecting their spoils on the battlefield. Although these Gnoll were still in a primitive tribe and did not know how to develop and utilize resources, they were still wearing some valuable items.
Just like some Gnoll grow a tuft of stiff hair on the back of their heads, which is a high-quality material for making wizard pens, the merchant group can buy back one kilogram for five hundred energy crystals.
Although the value per Gnoll wasn't high when averaged out, it was a huge windfall in the eyes of the apprentices.
If you're lucky enough to find a level 1 Gnoll that's not quite dead yet, you can earn a hefty amount of battle merits.
There's arguably no faster way than directly seizing wealth!
War profits are the fastest way to get rich!
"Dean, Charlotte has arrived and is currently inside the academy. She says she has something important to discuss with you, specifically regarding the compensation." Just as Leo was still focused on the battlefield below, Hu Jianxing's report came from inside the crystal ball.
After Leo advanced to the Stigmata, only a few people from Earth were qualified to directly contact Leo; the rest could not be reached.
Leo demonstrated his trust in the talents he had personally nurtured through his actions. They were able to directly contact Stigmata Wizard with only Level 1 strength, something that only a very small number of First-Level Wizard in the entire Wizard World could do.
"Let him wait. I'll finish dealing with things here first."
Leo was not surprised at all by Charlotte's arrival. He had been promoted to Stigmata for a year, and many people had already received the news, including those behind Charlotte.
When Leo was at level three, they could disregard Leo, and the compensation Leo demanded was nothing but a pipe dream in their eyes.
But now that Leo has been promoted to Stigmata Wizard, although it's only at level four, no Stigmata Wizard will underestimate Leo.
Level four is also considered Stigmata Wizard, meaning one has entered the hall of Advanced Wizard!
The compensation that Leo once thought was wishful thinking is now being offered to him on his own initiative.
"Understood, I will tell Vice Dean Meng Jie to have Charlotte wait at the academy." Hu Jianxing said with a sense of satisfaction.
Hu Jianxing was the one who created the war plan. From the initial 500,000 level-one mechanical puppets in the total war force to their later removal, no one could hide what happened.
Back then, they were all looked down upon and despised. Now, they've taken the initiative to come and apologize. What could be more gratifying than this!
Leo admitted that he had indeed been angry about this matter, but it was all in the past. He didn't care about the 500,000 level-one mechanical puppet now. He didn't want to see Charlotte because he was not trying to make things difficult for her, but because he still had things to do.
Leo stepped forward and entered the Shadow Walking, his footsteps flashing as he covered over a thousand steps in an instant.
Emerging from the shadows, they had reached the center of the Gnoll World.
A vast, lush grassland, the very place where the God of Gnoll once resided!
The God of Gnoll is the weakest of the Level-Four World Lord, and doesn't even have his own demiplane, so he can only remain in the world.
The God of Gnoll is dead, but there is still a strong, lingering level four aura here. At normal rates, it would take a hundred years for this aura to completely dissipate.
This is still the weakest World Lord. If it were a stronger World Lord, such as a level 5 or level 6 lord, it would be normal for their aura to not completely dissipate after tens of thousands of years!
"The fourth major aspect of the Stigmata True Body, the Earth Giant Bloodline, activate!"
Leo roared in a low voice, his internal energy exploding instantly. The most powerful force from his Bloodline caused Leo body to expand rapidly.
Earth Giant, appeared.
With his feet firmly planted on the ground, his body, shrouded in the black, ethereal Godslaying Wizard Robe, was the most mysterious symbol of his existence. The Godslaying Staff in his hand was held effortlessly by the Earth Giant, as if it were a giant tree!
The Earth Giant looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with disdain!
As if sensing something, the will of the Gnoll World instantly caused dark clouds to churn and silver snakes to dance above the Earth Giant, as if a bathtub of the gods had been overturned, and a torrential downpour accompanied by a terrifying Thunderstorm crashed down on the Earth Giant.
"Hmph, a mere trick!"
Faced with the final, frantic counterattack of the world's World Will the Gnoll World, the Earth Giant showed no fear and made no preparation to resist.
Despite the unimaginable horrors of natural disasters that would ravage lower life forms, the Earth Giant remained unmoved, enduring the attacks without being harmed even a hair on its head.
The Earth Giant's powerful defenses made it completely insignificant to the World Will. With only tens of thousands, or at most hundreds of thousands, of attack power, it was still a long way from breaking through the Earth Giant's defenses!
The Godslaying Staff was waved, stirring up elemental energy in the space. As the Earth Giant continued to chant, a powerful aura emanating from its Earth Giant origins rose from its body.
The World Will of the Gnoll World seemed terrified of the aura rising from the Earth Giant. The attacks from the sky instantly doubled, as if they were unleashing all their power. The howling attacks sounded like the desperate cries of the will of the Gnoll World.
Unfortunately, the Earth Giant stood firmly on the ground, completely ignoring the attack from the Gnoll World will. He used his Godslaying Staff to write runes one after another with massive elemental energy and cast them into the void to stabilize the force field rising above him.
As the Earth Giant chanted his incantation faster and faster, his aura gradually intensified.
Finally, three hours later, an invisible will surged from Leo's body, dispelling all the celestial anomalies that had just attacked the Earth Giant.
As this will, rising from the Earth Giant, surged toward the Gnoll World, it was as if an earthquake had struck the entire world.
The whole world was shaking; the earth trembled, and rivers churned. Countless lives were lost in the earthquake, which lasted only a few minutes.
If a sentient being were to listen carefully at this moment, it would seem as if it could hear painful cries.
When the earthquake stopped, the Earth Giant smiled. The feeling of suppression from the rules of the Gnoll World had disappeared, replaced by the all-too-familiar wizarding rules!
Leo had just chosen the position where the will of the Gnoll World was strongest, using himself as the focal point, to forcibly accelerate the invasion of the wizard's rules. While the will of the Gnoll World resisted, the Wizard Will descended, directly erasing the original will of the Gnoll World.
The wizarding rules have replaced the rules of the Gnoll World!
Now, all wizards in the Gnoll World can unleash 100% of their power, while the Gnoll will be the ones who are suppressed.
This is not a war of invasion by wizards, but the purging of life that does not fall under the rules of wizarding!
With one side increasing and the other decreasing, the gap in strength between the two sides widens again, making the war proceed more smoothly!
Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard Academy
Charlotte has been standing by the spatial passage for ten days. It's not that she hasn't arranged a room for him, but he insisted on waiting here.
For the past ten days, he has watched as groups of Gnoll prisoners, some robust to the point of exhaustion, are escorted back through the spatial passage.
The Gnoll were escorted back were at least Level 1 experts. All their strength was sealed, and even their physical strength was limited to the point where they could barely walk.
As soon as these Gnoll prisoners appeared, they were surrounded by the Purple Gold Flower Merchant Group. After a careful inspection, they were immediately handed over to Meng Mengmeng.
Watching the magic rings filled with energy crystals placed in Meng Mengmeng's hands, and seeing the Purple Gold Flower Merchant Group members quickly take away the Gnoll prisoners with satisfied smiles, Charlotte couldn't say she wasn't heartbroken.
He also felt the mocking gazes of the Purple Gold Flower Merchant Group, but he did not refute or argue with them.
If he hadn't left his position as vice dean, he would have been the greatest contributor in both the conquest of the Gnoll World and other matters, and the logistical support for the conquest would undoubtedly have been handled by their Green Cottage.
Now, seeing the Purple Gold Flower Merchant Group stealing her business, Charlotte was filled with mixed feelings. These were all businesses that should have belonged to their Green Cottage, but they had all fallen out of reach because of what had happened.
He sometimes gets angry and frustrated, and doesn't quite understand the decisions made by those above him, but he's just a Level Two Wizard, and he has to obey the powerful figures behind him; he can't make decisions on certain things.
The students at the academy treated him very well when he returned this time, and did not discriminate against him because of that incident, but he still sensed a distance from them despite their respectful attitude.
