"You may not understand why we've been grouped together. As Stigmata Wizard on this mothership, we're already in a team, which means we'll be fighting with our current personnel configuration in the upcoming war."
The words of the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard made Leo, who had just sat down, feel a jolt in his heart.
With two Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard leading the team, the intensity of the battle would definitely be high, which was very bad news for him, a Level Four Stigmata Wizard.
Leo's eyes flickered and met the gaze of the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body Stigmata Wizard opposite him. Sure enough, he saw the same worry in the wizard's eyes, which also revealed that this Body Refinement Wizard was unaware of the team formation beforehand.
When a strong teammate appears in a team, the first reaction is definitely not to be happy, because the tasks assigned from above are never allocated according to the lower limit of the team's strength, but are always allocated according to the upper-middle level of the team's average strength.
This is good news for the strongest team members, but a nightmare for those with lower skill levels, as it means they will have to take on even more difficult tasks!
Not only did Leo and the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body Stigmata Wizard's expressions change slightly, but even the Interstellar Wanderer's expression didn't improve much.
None of them expected to be forced into a team, and this action was taken without their prior consent.
However, the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued to explain the situation, "I am the captain of the team, Soul-Devouring Seal is the vice-captain. The team follows my command, and when I am not present, we follow Soul-Devouring Seal's command."
"Yes,"
Leo, Boiling Blood Tyrant Body, and the Interstellar Wanderer immediately nodded in agreement. They could no longer refuse, and no matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to agree.
The Soul-Devouring Seal didn't speak, but judging from her expression, she probably already knew about this.
"The squad has a special mission, but considering how rapidly the war situation is changing, the specific mission will need to be adjusted based on the battlefield situation once we arrive, so I won't tell you about it now."
"Next, I'll give you some more specific intelligence about this war. Our team will first head to the Gran World..."
Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard should have more accurate intelligence sources, or rather, they have higher authority and can know more secrets.
Leo knew nothing about most of the information the Purple-Gold Vine had provided. This was beyond the scope of what Beast Blood Boiling had gathered, and also beyond the range of information provided by the Wizard World.
Seeing the same expression on the faces of the level four Boiling Blood Tyrant Body and the Interstellar Wanderer, it was clear that they were also unaware of this information.
Leo instantly understood. The instigators of this war were the Supreme Lord, with Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard as commanders. These Stigmata Wizard were merely powerful soldiers, while the wizard armies below were just cannon fodder at best.
Most intelligence will not be given to them; what they can be told is only trivial information. The real intelligence will only be in the hands of a few.
According to the Purple-Gold Vine, the Stigmata Wizard were not the main force on the front lines; the World Lord under the Wizard Alliance were the main force, leading their armies to fight against the Returning Breath World in various worlds.
While it may seem that the forces led by the Stigmata Wizard are large enough, in reality, the forces led by the World Lord are even greater.
Only a small portion of the Stigmata Wizard participated in the main battles; the majority were engaged in more dangerous Stigmata Wizard.
There's no other way; the power of the Stigmata Wizard is higher than that of World Lord the same level. In order to gain an absolute advantage on the battlefield, many dangerous missions need to be undertaken by the Stigmata Wizard.
Of course, it's not all for nothing. Besides keeping all the spoils of war, the Wizard World also provides certain rewards based on battle achievements.
As for what the mission is...
It's very simple.
Sneak attacks, decapitations, sabotage behind enemy lines, infiltration... these are all done by the Stigmata Wizard.
Their squad's original mission was to carry out a decapitation strike, but as the Purple-Gold Vine said, it's no use talking about it now; things could change at any moment once they get to the battlefield.
Throughout over a century of war records, Stigmata Wizard have had a very high success rate in these tasks, and their contributions are greater than those on the main battlefield.
Those World Lord can demonstrate considerable combat power within their own worlds, but once they leave their worlds and participate in such battlefields, their abilities are severely limited.
Compared to their individual contributions, the massive armies they led contributed far more!
Therefore, all these dangerous missions were taken over by the Stigmata Wizard!
The battlefield was far from the Wizard World; at the mothership's normal speed, it would take 160 years to reach it. However, with the Wizard World providing powerful energy, the 160 years were shortened to 10 years.
We can get to the battlefield in just ten years!
The Purple-Gold Vine recounted all the information it knew. Perhaps sensing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, it smiled and said that their Wizard World had infiltrated the main body of the Returning Breath World and was causing trouble within it, which would severely weaken the Returning Breath World Cluster's strength on the front lines.
Victory in this war will surely belong to them, and the defeat of the Returning Breath World Cluster is inevitable!
Leo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up when he heard this, "Will we also receive missions to infiltrate the Returning Breath World Cluster?"
"What are you thinking? We're not those space wanderers. Based on our energy reflexes, we'd be detected the moment we enter. Don't worry, we won't be given a mission that would be certain death for us."
The Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard immediately explained with a smile.
Leo nodded as if relieved, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes that no one could see.
Just as the Purple-Gold Vine said, only those wizards who can roam freely in the universe can infiltrate undetected, and they can blend into every world almost perfectly.
For example, the Interstellar Wanderer doesn't know how long he has wandered in the universe or how many worlds he has stayed in, yet he still survives intact thanks to special methods of integration.
As for Leo and the others, having not learned such abilities, once they enter other worlds, their Wizard Will will will be like a miniature sun, attracting the attention of the entire world.
That wouldn't be a secret infiltration; it would be deliberately sending yourself to your death!
The mothership was activated after Leo arrived.
The number of motherships that were activated at the same time was not just theirs, but more than one hundred. Assuming that there are five Stigmata Wizard on each mothership, that's five hundred Stigmata Wizard!
This mothership fleet, carrying one-ninth of the Stigmata Wizard of the Wizard World, could roam freely in the universe.
If we were to conquer a world, we wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the sheer number of these Stigmata Wizard would be enough to burst the world apart!
The mothership took them with it on its way there, and when it returned, it carried back the same Stigmata Wizard and their armies who had gone a century ago!
For ten years, the Stigmata Wizard did not rest, but instead continued to discuss information about the Returning Breath World and countermeasures after entering the war.
The Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard showed Leo and the others a number of videos, all of which were real footage from the battlefield.
Countless puppets, their souls controlled, launched a silent and numb attack on the wizard army. Ordinary puppets were slaughtered en masse by the wizard army, but those specially modified puppets, reaching the limit of their level, could kill the wizard army a hundred times more.
In the video war, Leo saw numerous terrifying figures at the third level, approaching 100 meters in height.
Although they are left with only physical strength, only a very few wizards of the same level can kill them alone; most of them require a large force to deal with.
It can be said that these war weapons, after being modified and upgraded to their peak, are indeed a headache. It's not that they can't kill them, but that they have to tie down a considerable number of troops.
Once these top-tier modified weapons are assembled into a unit, they are virtually unstoppable on the battlefield; it would take a hundred times the manpower to defeat them.
However, Leo's attention was not on these low-level battlefields, but rather on searching for the figure of the opponent's Lord of Souls in the video.
" The Lord of Souls of the Returning Breath World do not have fixed forms. For them, the physical body can be modified at will, which does not conform to our common sense. The soul is their foundation. Locking onto their physical bodies is useless; we must lock onto their souls."
In the video, Leo did indeed see a monster, only about ten meters tall, whose flesh seemed to be stitched together, pinning a two-hundred-meter -Level-Four World Lord from the Wizard Alliance to the ground and beating him.
The Lord of Souls of the Returning Breath World are indeed all different, with various forms and sizes, like an exhibition of bizarre worlds.
They would attach the body parts of the powerful individuals they collected to their own bodies; their so-called physical bodies were more like a wall of honor showcasing their achievements!
Therefore, those increasingly bizarre-looking physical bodies often represent the Lord of Souls of more powerful Returning Breath World Cluster!
[We are approaching the battlefield of Gran World. Wizard army, prepare for battle!]
[We are approaching the battlefield of Gran World. Wizard army, prepare for battle!]
[We are approaching the battlefield of Gran World. Wizard army, prepare for battle!]
After the mothership's final Stellar Leap, three broadcasts awakened all the wizards, and the entire mothership seemed to come alive, with countless slumbering beings opening their eyes!
Gran World
It is a large world, one of the main battlefields chosen by the two World Cluster. More than forty people with strength of level four or above have gathered in this world, making it a notorious death zone in the entire battlefield!
Among the 97 selected battlefields, it ranks among the top ten in terms of danger!!!
