All the World Lord had their eyes fixed on the battlefield, with Wrath Warhammer focusing most of his attention on observation.
The number of attacks unleashed by both sides was almost identical, as was their intensity; even the composition of the magical spells used in their attacks was nearly the same.
Everything seemed similar, but Wrath Warhammer felt even more uneasy.
The attacks unleashed by the wizard army were almost entirely from the wizards themselves, with only a small portion coming from other life forms.
Of all the races, only wizards have the longest attack range and the strongest attack power, so in the very first instant, it must be the wizard who releases the attack.
The wizard's power is evident in every aspect; every detail reflects the wizard's ability to crush other races, such as their current attack range.
Wizards have a 10% to 20% longer attack range than other classes of the same level.
But that's where the problem lies.
They had tens of millions of wizards unleashing attacks, but the opposing side clearly didn't have that many wizards, so why were they still able to unleash the same magical attacks?
There is only one answer to this question: that traitor opened up the Wizard System to other races, allowing them to become wizards.
Only in this way can they reach the combat level of a wizard.
Judging from the attacks they unleash on the battlefield, their attacks reach about 80% of a wizard's level, but they are not quite the same as a wizard yet.
However, the wizarding expeditionary force was also suppressed by the World Will, and could only unleash 80% of its attack power.
The attack levels of both sides are completely identical!
This discovery means that although the opposing army is composed of multiple races, they are all wizards, far more wizards than they are!
The attack crashed into the enemy army, wiping out countless lives with its powerful strike.
In that instant, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides vanished completely.
But Wrath Warhammer discovered another huge problem.
That is, there was a significant difference in the number of deaths on both sides, with the number of deaths differing by as much as double.
The wizard army suffered around 200,000 casualties, while the opposing side only lost about 100,000.
This wasn't a problem with the wizard expeditionary force. In his eyes, the command center of the mothership hadn't made any mistakes. On the contrary, the fact that so few people had died in such a terrifying attack was already an extraordinary performance.
It's either the wizard army's problem or the problem on the other side.
Even before the attack arrived, the opposing army had already made subtle adjustments, but no one paid attention to such details.
With a massive army Heavenly Capital, moving quickly is the most normal behavior, and no one will pay attention to small movements.
At first, Wrath Warhammer didn't think much of it, but after a few attacks, he realized that the reason they had so few deaths was because of these seemingly insignificant little adjustments.
This subtle adjustment, which no one would notice, not only allowed them to avoid most of the attacks that were supposed to hit, but also enabled them to instantly adjust their formation, turning the offensive magic circle into a defensive one.
They were very familiar with the Wrath Warhammer formation; he had been a member of the formation when he was at a lower level.
But he had never seen such a perfect combination of magic arrays. The smallest magic array, with ten people per seat, was the basic unit of their entire army, and countless magic arrays made up their massive army.
He wouldn't be surprised if it were just that, but rather that there were instantaneous adjustments and changes between all the magic arrays.
In his experience, if a magic array is attacked and someone suffers losses, the entire magic array will collapse and it will be very difficult to rebuild.
The battlefield was so chaotic that even a wizard couldn't rebuild a magic circle after it collapsed. Even if a magic circle could rebuild, its attack power would be greatly reduced.
To unleash the full power of an amplification array, the wizards who create the array must work in perfect harmony. If there are problems with the coordination, it's better not to create the array at all.
This is why many wizards participate in expeditions in long-term teams, in order to maximize their offensive capabilities.
After the wizard army's magic circle is broken, they will quickly adjust their positions, transforming from the members who formed the magic circle into agile warriors, seeking any opportunity to attack their opponents.
What the wizarding army couldn't do, the enemy could; Wrath Warhammer had seen it countless times.
After their magic array was destroyed by an attack, the survivors did not hesitate to quickly find others and rebuild the magic array in the shortest possible time. They would also rebuild different magic arrays depending on the type of attack they received.
The most terrifying thing is that the recombined magic array can exert the same attack power, as if they were not a hastily assembled team on the battlefield, but the best team formed after years of training.
"That's impossible."
The Wrath Warhammer growled in a low voice only it could hear.
Their behavior was definitely abnormal. It wasn't that no one in the Wizard World had tried this before, but to achieve the same effect, besides making the wizards give up their time researching witchcraft, they also had to practice the same witchcraft.
Even if all wizards were trained in the same way, the same effect could not be achieved.
Especially in the eyes of the Wrath Warhammer, many of the recombined magic circles were not formed by what they saw from each other and then combined into magic circles.
It's more like someone is commanding a single combat operation, able to instantly direct every life and constantly instruct them on what to do.
The moment their magic circle was destroyed, they were told where to set up a new one.
Wrath Warhammer didn't believe anyone could reach such a level of command. Even the highest-ranking commander on the mothership could only command a force of 100,000. To reduce a force of 100,000 to the level of precise command of 10,000 was impossible.
There were too many combat troops, and the events that unfolded on the battlefield every instant were enough to overwhelm even the Stigmata Wizard.
But everything happening before their eyes proves that they have indeed achieved individual combat command—commanding all individual soldiers of hundreds of millions of troops!
Such command ability is unattainable even in the Wizard World, let alone by that traitor!
Wrath Warhammer refuses to acknowledge what he has seen.
But reality wouldn't change just because of his "otherwise"; the battlefield took an even more unexpected turn.
Initially, they seemed to have a slight advantage, but as the fighting intensified, the wizard army's combat effectiveness clearly began to decline.
This is not their fault. As the wizarding magic circles are destroyed one by one through targeted attacks, the attack power of the wizarding army is indeed decreasing, which is quite normal.
The wizard army's strength has decreased, but the enemy army's strength has not decreased, or rather, it has decreased but not significantly.
They maintained their most complete battle formation and peak combat power, without any significant reduction in strength due to minor casualties. This was all because they could quickly assemble their battle formations.
The other World Lord ' troops and slave armies could only cooperate in simple ways. Their strength was already weak, and they were further weakened and divided up, and were surrounded without even realizing it.
They could always find the wizard army's weaknesses in the first instance, and even if the weakness appeared only for a moment, they could still seize it.
It was as if they had countless eyes watching the entire battlefield, and no change could escape their notice.
One side's strength is greatly reduced, while the other side's strength remains unchanged.
The tide of battle was rapidly turning in favor of the wizard army, as if a total annihilation was imminent!
Wrath Warhammer watched helplessly as the wizard army went from evenly matched to losing ground, but there was nothing he could do.
The Lord of Souls opposite him had dozens, even hundreds, of eyes staring at him. If he made the slightest move, the Soul Lord would immediately rush up and fight him.
Wrath Warhammer understood why the Lord of Souls had been so kind as to allow them to descend safely; they were absolutely confident in their ability to win.
That traitor is really something!
Wrath Warhammer admired that traitor; in less than two thousand years, he had managed to suppress the wizarding army.
If the Wizard World had found him any later, who knows what the future would have been like?
Perhaps it won't be them attacking his territory, but rather him returning to the Wizard World.
The Wrath Warhammer coldly surveyed the battlefield below, seemingly oblivious to the bloodshed. The outcome of the battle was already clear: they had lost.
Although the battle is still raging, the outcome is already decided.
Once the enemy has individual command capabilities, their expeditionary force cannot possibly win.
Wrath Warhammer could accept defeat with equanimity, but the World Lord behind him had completely different expressions.
They looked at the battlefield, at the massacre of their people, and their hearts ached with pain.
Wrath Warhammer sees overall battlefield defeat; that's the average loss.
But they only cared about the people they had brought with them; they didn't care about other people's armies, they only cared about their own people.
Fang-Canine is merely a newly promoted Level-Four World Lord, sent out to participate in the expedition when his world was forcibly conscripted by the wizarding civilization.
He hadn't witnessed how the wizarding civilization had conquered their world, but he knew that the wizarding civilization was an extremely powerful one.
In his education and understanding, there was no world that could rival the wizarding civilization.
Whenever the wizard army appears, it will inevitably lead to a massacre; victory is simply theirs for the taking.
He came with the intention of gaining military merit and winning glory for his world.
He had initially thought this battle would continue to write the story of the wizarding army's victory, but what he saw was different from what he had previously known, even completely the opposite.
Compared to the still-fighting wizard army and the fearless slave army, their people are suffering inhumane slaughter.
The opposing army seemed to have recognized the weakest point of their multi-unit army, and their strategies were clearly different when dealing with the wizard army, the slave army, and the army of their subjects.
