The slave army on the battlefield at this moment is just like that, except that their battle formation is much simpler and they cannot achieve the high degree of coordination that they usually train for. But it is still better than the puppet army that knows nothing and has no consciousness of its own.
The four Stigmata Wizard on the mothership could see that the puppet army far outnumbered the wizard slaves, but they would have to pay several times the price in lives to capture a single slave!
However, there are exceptions, namely those hundred-meter-tall beings that have been transformed to the third-level limit; the moment they appear on the battlefield...
They either became targets of numerous attacks, blasted to pieces from afar, or charged into the slave army, wreaking havoc and tearing a small gap in the wizard's defenses.
These level-three limit beings are undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence on the battlefield, and their deaths are the most spectacular scenes.
Every time a level three ultimate powerhouse dies, countless lives inevitably lie beside them—either puppets or slaves—all blasted to death by the overwhelming attack waves!!!
"Currently, there are 17 Lord of Souls on the battlefield: 10 at level four, 4 at level five, and 3 at level six."
"Our team's mission is to find as many of these Lord of Souls as possible and eliminate them."
The Purple-Gold Vine surveyed the battlefield expressionlessly. The sheer number of deaths did not stir any emotion in them; for such a low-level battlefield, numbers held no meaning for them.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Purple-Gold Vine, the scene before it was more like an adult watching two groups of ants fight.
" Atomic Control, your abilities in all aspects are outstanding. Soul-Devouring Seal told me that you can instantly eliminate three Lord of Souls. Next, you need to find Level-Four Lord of Souls and kill as many as possible!!"
Leo looked at the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard with confusion. Wasn't it said before that they would act in small teams?
Why are you letting him act alone now?
" The Gran World is temporarily short-handed. Those World Lord have other tasks to complete, so our team must break up the barriers. The Soul-Devouring Seal has already gone to deal with other matters with the God of Giants. Our current task is to resolve these Lord of Souls as quickly as possible," the Purple-Gold Vine explained to Leo.
"Pay attention to the information in the Fate Wizard Book. Once the location of Level-Four Lord of Souls is discovered, it will be directly located in the book."
"You only need to deal with those Level-Four Lord of Souls. You can ignore everything else. Don't bother with opponents who aren't level four."
"Yes, Captain."
Once the order was given, Leo had to carry it out immediately.
The Purple-Gold Vine waved, indicating that Leo could go and carry out the mission.
Leo tapped his feet and instantly disappeared from the deck of the mothership.
In the instant he vanished, he heard the Purple-Gold Vine tell the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body to join the main battle and help relieve the pressure on the wizard army.
Leo didn't hear about the mission of the Interstellar Wanderer, but judging from the tasks assigned to him and the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body by the Purple-Gold Vine, the mission of the Interstellar Wanderer wouldn't be easy either.
As Shadow Walking, Yaoyao said, "Ten Level-Four Lord of Souls, this task is quite difficult."
" The Gran World now only has two Level-Five Stigmata Wizard and thirteen World Lord left. Besides this battlefield, they have other missions, and there's simply not enough manpower. The pressure is so great that the teams have no choice but to split up," Leo said.
The intelligence we received before our arrival indicated there were over twenty level-four or higher combatants here, but after only two years of war, only fifteen remain—a 25% casualty rate!!!
This is combat damage of level four or higher.
It wasn't just the casualties of low-level life forms. Based on the battlefield situation just seen, the casualties of low-level life forms could exceed 50%, a terrifying level of casualties that Leo had never seen before. This meant that half of the wizard and slave army would fall on the battlefield forever.
The war in the Gran World is already so terrible, with casualties reaching as high as 25% even at level four and above, let alone the war between entire World Cluster!
Countless lives are lost every single moment!
Compared to this kind of World Cluster conflict, any previous expeditionary wars seem utterly ridiculous, like children playing house!
Leo didn't care how many others died. He had brought 40,000 wizards from his academy and an army of 7 million Gulu Beast with him. If the casualties reached more than 50%, Leo didn't know how heartbroken he would be!
Hidden in the shadows, Leo seemed like an observer of the war, watching the brutal conflict outside through a veil of darkness. The loss of countless lives could not stir the slightest ripple in his heart!
According to the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard, there are two ways to find Level-Four Lord of Souls. The first is for him to find one himself.
The second possibility is that other wizards discover the information and send it to the Fate Wizard Book, and then he searches for it.
"Don't you think we look like assassins lurking in the shadows right now?"
Leo searched carefully but found no trace of the Level-Four Lord of Souls, and smiled as Yaoyao.
"The greatest potential of the Shadow Talent lies in being an assassin, but your strength is so great that you don't need to resort to sneak attacks to take down enemies, which is why you haven't become an assassin. Your first Bloodline transformation, the Hunter, is clearly geared towards the assassination style," Yaoyao said helplessly.
If Leo hadn't found his own path as a wizard, and had continued along the path of his Shadow Talent, he would have become a powerful assassin wizard!
As a result, Leo found his own path, with his Shadow Talent being more prominent in support roles!
The battlefield was too vast; Leo couldn't possibly find it with just his eyes alone. It was like searching for ten grains of gold hidden somewhere in a vast desert—it was all down to luck!
However, Leo hadn't really expected to find the Lord of Souls. The previous battles had already shown that the Lord of Souls were extremely good at hiding, and it would be very difficult to find them unless they revealed themselves.
Currently, the only known entities capable of actively locating the hidden Lord of Souls are the last two Level-Four Lord of Souls discovered by the Interstellar Wanderer during the Advent War.
It's unclear how the Interstellar Wanderer discovered them.
Leo guessed that it was related to the environment at the time. They were outside the world barrier, in the universe, where the power of the Interstellar Wanderer could be better utilized, which allowed him to discover the hidden Lord of Souls.
Time passed slowly, and four days later, as Leo continued to observe the battlefield, words appeared in the Fate Wizard Book.
[ Gran World: A Level-Four Lord of Souls appears at location 159:424:951.]
"Come on, we have work to do."
After searching for four days Leo finally received the first message. He immediately smiled and looked through the shadows at the Gran World, his eyes flashing as he calculated the location recorded in the Fate Wizard Book.
With a series of quick footsteps, the figure darted swiftly through the shadows!
In one corner of the battlefield, an army of hundreds of thousands of puppets stood silently.
This area has not yet been affected by the war, or rather, it is not yet time for them to rush onto the battlefield. Only when the puppet army in front is almost dead and makes way for them can they step onto the battlefield.
In the eyes of the Lord of Souls, their battle against the wizard army was more like a game of chess. You take one of my pieces, and I take one of yours. They had more pieces than the wizards, so victory was sure to be theirs!
But among this silently standing army of puppets, the eyes of a few puppets differed from the numb eyes of the others; their eyes would subtly shift every half hour.
If you look closely, you can see that when they turn around, the corner of their eyes is always focused on a certain direction.
There stood another puppet, much like them, standing quietly, as if it too was waiting for the order to go to the battlefield.
Only these few puppets knew that since a month and a half ago, seventy-three batches of puppet troops had stepped onto the battlefield, but the puppet they could spot out of the corner of their eyes had never stepped onto the battlefield even once.
This is not a puppet controlled by the Lord of Souls; he is the Lord of Souls in puppet form, the mastermind behind this puppet army in battle!
As for the puppets that were locking onto the Lord of Souls, they were not actually puppets; they were reconnaissance wizards scattered throughout the battlefield.
They are the most dangerous reconnaissance wizards, tasked with finding weaknesses, crises, intelligence, and even the location of the Lord of Souls!!
If we were to name the most dangerous type of wizard, it would undoubtedly be these reconnaissance wizards.
At first, they didn't discover this Lord of Souls, but after observing him for a while, they determined that he was not a puppet. How could he remain stationary while the rest of the puppet army was fighting?
After a brief test, it was determined that this was Level-Four Lord of Souls!
Immediately report to the command center and wait for the arrival of the Stigmata Wizard. Their mission is to keep this Lord of Souls within their sight and ensure that their location can always be pinpointed!
While they were waiting,
Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw a figure dressed in a black wizard's robe emerge from the shadows behind the Lord of Souls, who was disguised as a puppet.
Without any visible attack, the puppet disguised as the Lord of Souls instantly exploded.
In the midst of the shock, they instinctively wanted to take a closer look.
But in the next instant,
Unbelievable was the sudden burst of light from the Thunderstorm, hundreds of times brighter than sunlight, which made them all instinctively sense the danger and close their eyes.
A terrifying pressure descended, and the aura of death enveloped the area.
The scout wizards were absolutely certain that this was the aura of Stigmata Wizard, and a powerful Level Four Stigmata Wizard at that!!!
Thunderstorm roared, and the terrifying attack from the Stigmata Wizard made the entire earth tremble. They were like canoes sailing on raging waves in the deep sea, facing the threat of death every moment!
It felt as if countless bolts of lightning, capable of easily tearing them apart, flashed around their bodies. Every hair on their skin stood on end, every pore screaming terror and danger, as if death was imminent if they didn't dodge!
With their eyes tightly shut, their bodies trembling, and the overwhelming attack enveloping the entire area, the world devoid of any other sensations except for the terrifying Thunderstorm, these reconnaissance wizards abandoned their mission after only two seconds and chose to flee.
