The Hundred Years' War rotation, first deck of the mothership.
Leo, holding the Godslaying Staff, was the first to step in. Upon seeing the central seat, he sat down amidst Yaoyao's excited laughter.
He used to sit below, but this time he sat in the main seat, finally achieving a leap in rank!
Haha, congratulations!
The person hadn't even entered yet, but congratulatory greetings had already been sent in.
As the sound ended, two figures appeared in the hall: the Interstellar Wanderer and the Level-Five Pureblood Blue Dragon Heluoluo.
There's no need for that between us.
With a smile, Leo gestured for them to sit down. All three of them in his team were level five. He had gotten along well with them during the first centennial rotation, and there were other cooperative relationships to come. Leo felt more at ease having them join his team than with others.
There are still two level four wizards left, but it's unclear which Level Four Stigmata Wizard will be assigned to their team after the Blue Dragon Bloodline Stigmata Wizard dies.
Upon seeing Leo again, both the Interstellar Wanderer and the Blue Dragon Heluoluo showed a slight contraction in their skin, an instinctive defensive state that only appears when facing a powerful enemy.
The two of them looked at Leo. Although they didn't sense any level five aura from Leo, the unspoken pressure made them feel slightly uneasy.
Although they knew that Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizard would undoubtedly possess strength far exceeding their level, Leo had only advanced less than a century ago and hadn't fully mastered the power of level five, yet he could still instill such a great sense of crisis in them.
Once Leo is fully familiar with level five power, wouldn't he be able to kill them at will?!
The turmoil in his heart wasn't shown on his face, but his instinctive wariness was evident to everyone present.
Leo seemed not to have seen it, but he still smiled as he looked at the two who were at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. This was the result he wanted. Now that his status had changed and he had just been promoted to level five, he needed to establish his authority!
Blue Dragon Heluoluo and the Interstellar Wanderer sat down, and the three of them had just started chatting when footsteps came in again.
Two figures appeared. One was a three-eyed, Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard, and the other was actually the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard they had fought side by side with in the Gran World.
"Captain." The Golden Eye Piercing Illusions and the Sword Bearer bowed to Leo, who was of the same rank during the last war's rotation.
With a smile Golden Eye Piercing Illusions the illusion, scrutinizing the Atomic Control beneath the black wizard's robe. In his eyes, it was not a wizard, but a complex energy of Power of Laws!
Upon seeing this, the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard's vertical pupils narrowed completely!
"Please sit down."
Leo didn't pay attention to the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard's scrutiny. He had already mentally prepared himself for the situation by agreeing to include him in his team.
However, Leo hadn't expected that the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard would replace the Blue Dragon Bloodline.
The Sword Bearer was a level four Body Refinement Stigmata Wizard, even more powerful than the Blue Dragon Bloodline. Among all the Level Four Stigmata Wizard Leo had ever seen, his attack power was easily among the top three.
In every ranking of Level Four Stigmata Wizard, the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard is second only to Leo. It's a waste to have such a powerful wizard in his team.
If the Sword Bearer were placed in a small or micro-world, he could control the war single-handedly; this is the correct way to use the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard.
The greetings, congratulations, and well wishes were all about flattering Leo for his promotion to level five!
By the time they got down to business, the mothership had already set sail for the War World.
"The forces of the Returning Breath World have suddenly increased, and they have taken back a third of the achievements we made during our last war rotation. It's a real pity."
While speaking, Leo paid attention to the changes in the expressions of everyone around him. The Interstellar Wanderer was also a neutral Stigmata Wizard, Golden Eye Piercing Illusions was Body Refinement School. Judging from the way the Sword Bearer stood behind the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions just now, he was also Body Refinement School.
The last war was led by the Elemental School, and it was under their leadership that the army of the Returning Breath World gained a foothold in the twenty War World.
Before the successful launch of the Returning Breath World's troop expansion plan and the transfer of troops to the War World, it could barely gain a foothold in twelve worlds; now it has expanded to twenty.
It has to be said that the Elemental School is being a bit too blatantly lenient, even Interstellar Wanderer and Blue Dragon Heluoluo are somewhat shocked by the current situation.
They could have completely conquered all the War World, but instead, these Lord of Souls occupied some of them.
This fighting will go on forever!
"Our squad's mission is to quickly eliminate the Returning Breath World army in the War World, in line with the overall war strategy, push the war towards their Returning Breath World homeland, and end the war as soon as possible."
Before the shift began, Leo received orders from headquarters to give their squad a medium-sized world, which they had to completely occupy before the end of the war shift.
Of course, this is the minimum requirement for the mission. The reward promised to Leo remains unchanged: within a hundred years, he will receive all the worlds that Leo has completely conquered, and the number of world slots cannot exceed five.
How many worlds Leo will ultimately gain depends on Leo performance during this Hundred Years' War.
The mission was assigned, and everyone understood perfectly: continue fighting these Lord of Souls. The good news was that previous reports indicated that while the number of Lord of Souls had increased, their strength had greatly decreased, and most of them were newly promoted. This would significantly reduce the difficulty of their battles and make it easier to gain merit.
Leo had long seen through the war pattern of the Returning Breath World, where the Elemental School and Body Refinement School had alternated in command for a century.
The gains Body Refinement School over the past century, which it has achieved through relentless attacks, will soon be wiped out by the hundred-year war controlled by the Elemental School.
In this situation, although the reward for Leo has some limitations, the greater hope is to use this generous incentive to encourage Leo to contribute more and expand the gains.
The checks and balances between the two major schools of thought are precisely what neutral Stigmata Wizard like themselves need to do.
Neither large sums of money nor will neutral wizards risk their lives for free.
Leo believed that he wasn't the only one receiving this reward; it was just that no one else had mentioned it!
Thousand Pools World,
A medium-sized world with a level cap of five, this is the first world Leo is undertaking this mission!
Originally firmly controlled by the wizard army, several Stigmata Wizard were suddenly transferred to support other worlds for unknown reasons, leaving the defenses vulnerable and allowing the army of the Returning Breath World to take advantage of the situation.
The Thousand Pools World is now divided into two parts: the Returning Breath World occupies one half, and the Wizard Army occupies the other half. The war has returned to the state of stalemate that began six hundred years ago.
The mission is very simple: take over the Thousand Pools World, kill all the Lord of Souls and the puppet army, and the entire world will fall under Leo's control.
When the mothership appeared outside the world barrier, a puppet army stretching for thousands of miles like a dark cloud had already appeared inside the barrier.
The Lord of Souls, leading his puppet army, had already taken the lead and positioned himself within the world barrier.
Leo and the Interstellar Wanderer stood on the deck, looking at the scene inside the world barrier, their expressions varied.
The Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard looked displeased; the last time they took their leave, the entire world was under their control.
Now that the Lord of Souls's army has taken half of it back, there's nothing to say; it was all expected.
But as soon as they arrived for their turn, the Lord of Souls led such a massive army of puppets to block the world barrier.
Are the wizarding army of the Thousand Pools World dead? Don't they know to restrain them and let them arrive safely?
They'll stop at nothing to hold them back!!
Blue Dragon Heluoluo's expression remained calm throughout, revealing his indifference. He was not a wizard, and the progress of the war had little to do with him. He only needed to do what the mission required, and given his awkward identity, he had no right to raise any questions.
As for the remaining Leo, the Interstellar Wanderer, and the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, they wore smiles and did not take these puppet armies seriously.
"The same thing happened when we first participated in the war. I still remember Atomic Control instantly killed three Level-Four Lord of Souls were trying to ambush us, which shocked me greatly."
The Interstellar Wanderer pointed to the puppet army within the world barrier and recounted his past experiences with a smile. Time flies so fast; before he knew it, the person next to him had advanced from level four to level five and even become his captain.
"Those Lord of Souls are really blind, daring to ambush the captain. They've got a death wish." Golden Eye Piercing Illusions offered a fitting little compliment.
His three eyes were fixed on the puppet army inside the world barrier, as if searching for the hidden Lord of Souls.
Leo ordered the mothership to stop entering the Thousand Pools World to avoid being ambushed by the Lord of Souls.
Then he stood on the deck chatting with the Interstellar Wanderer, seemingly in no hurry to enter the Thousand Pools World.
"Master, the wizarding army inside the Thousand Pools World says they are being held back by several Lord of Souls and are unable to provide reinforcements," the Sword Bearer reported, holding the Fate Wizard Book.
This news made the Sword-Wielding Stigmata Wizard's eyebrows furrow with rage. Such delays, such negligence in the war, and such disregard for the casualties caused by each postponement were simply deserving of death.
"Since we can't send reinforcements, let's handle this ourselves. This puppet army won't require too many people to fight anyway."
The lack of reinforcements was entirely within Leo's expectations. The Elemental School was practically ready to hand over the entire world to the Returning Breath World to delay the war's progress; standing idly by was simply their normal course of action.
" Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, have you found the hidden Lord of Souls?" Leo asked Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, whose three eyes were constantly scanning the puppet army.
"Found them. There are fourteen in total, five at level five and nine at level four. I will transmit their locations to you." Golden Eye Piercing Illusions immediately transmitted the locations of the Lord of Souls found in the puppet army to each person's mind through mental power.
"Very well. You, the Sword Bearer, and the Interstellar Wanderer, the three of you will stay on the mothership to protect it."
Leo looked at Blue Dragon Heluoluo and said, "Let's just the two of us make a trip and clear out these Lord of Souls."
"I'll go too. There are so many Lord of Souls; it's a bit dangerous for just the two of you."
When the Interstellar Wanderer heard that Leo wanted Heluoluo to go with him, he immediately became worried.
Although Golden Eye Piercing Illusions the Lord of Souls ' most adept concealment, the sheer number of fourteen Lord of Souls still posed a significant challenge to them.
Based on the number of five level 5 Soul Level-Four Lord of Souls Masters, at least three Level-Five Stigmata Wizard and five Level Four Stigmata Wizard would be needed to take action.
