After analyzing the situation rationally, Grimm's eyes flashed under the Mask of Truth. He steadied himself and landed on a towering boulder on the ground of the Shadow World after a few spatial distortions.
The boulder was more than a hundred meters tall. Due to being in a humid and hot state all year round and being eroded by flesh plants, the boulder was smooth without any edges. It looked like a pebble that had been washed away by the river bottom.
Standing on top of the boulder, one could see the earth and the vast sky in all directions.
The Sorcerer World's Void Fortress was located in the shallow Shadow Land of this world. The main source of light came from this world's never-setting sun. Therefore, it was always bright but not hot. Overall, it looked like a cloudy day in the Sorcerer World.
When it came to Grimm's side and the deeper Shadow Space of the Camphoragate Tree, it was dark and dull. All light sources began to be replaced by fire energy crystals that could be seen everywhere in this world, strange plants, and the scattered dim light in the air. The sky was always gloomy and oppressive.
This group of Amonros that covered the sky were flying from the direction of the shallow Shadow Land. The distant light from the sky shone like a cluster of dark clouds.
Woo …
As the dark clouds got closer and closer, the bubbling sound grew louder and louder, and the unstoppable momentum that seemed to be able to destroy everything in front of it became even more unstoppable. It was like a surging torrent that came crashing over.
At first glance, one would think that it was the 'brave and fearless' Shadow Army of Amonros attacking. But the reality was …
Grimm stood on top of the boulder and looked up at the sky quietly.
The Shadow Army of Amonros flew past in a majestic manner. They did not stop for a 'bug' like Grimm. They just flew with all their might towards the deeper parts of the Shadow Land.
Behind them, five voidships, thousands of Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerer legions, and thousands of monster slave legions were hot on their heels. The Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were like a ferocious cheetah chasing a young deer, opening their fangs and sharp claws as they attacked with all their might.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the main cannons of the five Voidships shot out another beam of light. Under the dark red energy beams, the "unstoppable" Amonro swarm in front of them exploded into a bloody mist. Hundreds of Amonro corpses fell to the ground. However, the Amonro swarm did not dare to stop. They flew deeper into the shadows.
From time to time, within the army of Bright Sorcerers, there would be a few Bright Sorcerers combining Compound Sorcery and Assembly Sorcery from Magical Spell Formations, unleashing shocking energy attacks.
Soon, the two legions flew over several hundred meters above Grimm's head one after the other, flying into the distance.
It turned out that the so-called 'unstoppable' of the Amonro's Shadow Legion was just because they were afraid of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer Legion that was pursuing them from behind. They were trying their best to shake off the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer Legion and run for their lives, so that they could crush anyone who dared to stop them.
Thinking about it carefully, it was really ironic!
"Caw caw caw caw, Young Master Grimm, it seems like the Sorcerers World has begun to clear out the main battlefield and have begun to build permanent sorcerers bases." The Myna rubbed its wings and said proudly.
"Hmm."
Grimm replied in silence. The surging magic energy had slightly messed up his golden hair, but his eyes under the spiral pattern of the Mask of Truth were incomparably calm. With a whoosh, his body turned into a stream of light and continued to fly towards the Void Fortress in the distance.
The pungent smell of blood filled the land, the sky, and every corner of the battlefield. It was an insignificant sad song of the endless world.
The sorrowful cries of the Shadow World had stopped. The broken corpses lying quietly on the ground became denser as they got closer to the Void Fortress.
Among the corpses, there were a few that belonged to the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers and some that belonged to the Sorcerers Slave Legion. Most of them were the corpses of low-level Amonros.
On these densely packed corpses, there were huge craters in the 'empty' areas. It seemed like they were erased by the Voidships' Disintegrating Cannons on the main battlefield, or they were hit by some kind of violent energy.
Around these huge craters, there were pieces of flesh and pieces of corpses. Not a single one of them was intact. It was a miserable sight.
Hmm?
On top of these corpses, Grimm could vaguely see Mechanical Marionettes jumping back and forth. These Mechanical Marionettes were exquisitely made and sturdy. Other than a large number of worker ant-level Mechanical Marionettes, there were also many higher-level Mechanical Marionettes mixed among them, carrying out orders and tasks.
These Mechanical Marionettes were probably collecting the spoils of war and relics from the battlefield. They were extremely agile. A single jump could cover more than ten meters, and their gliding ability was also quite strong.
"As expected, the Void Fortress still has some backup measures. This kind of low-level world is far from being able to unleash the full strength of the Demon-Hunter Expedition Sorcerers."
Grimm mumbled to himself.
These Mechanical Marionettes were the main cannon fodder used by the Sorcerer World to conquer foreign worlds in ancient times.
With the development of the Sorcerer Civilization, the position of Mechanical Marionettes was gradually replaced by the Soul Slave Legion, which was a more convenient and efficient cannon fodder material.
However, this did not mean that Mechanical Marionettes had completely lost their value or position in the Sorcerer Civilization.
In fact, it was the complete opposite!
As far as Grimm knew, there was a department in the underground Anthill Plaza under the Tree of Life in the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. They were permanently and limitlessly purchasing Mechanical Marionettes made by Sorcerers and trading them with Sorcerer Essences.
Nowadays, the historical position of Mechanical Marionettes in the Sorcerer Civilization seemed to have become a high-level strategic resource.
In other words, the Sorcerer World seemed to be desperately hoarding all the strategic resources that they had plundered. Of course, strategic resources like Mechanical Marionettes were among them.
From the records, Grimm understood that in some of the foreign worlds that the Sorcerer World had conquered, the actual method of ruling by the Sorcerer World was not directly enslaving or plundering everything, but through Sorcerer Coins.
Among them, it seemed that they were taking advantage of the disparity in commodity prices to plunder exaggerated profits, accumulating all kinds of strategic resources, and nurturing the welfare facilities of Demon-Hunter Sorcerers.
Now, the various Holy Towers of the Sorcerer World had accumulated countless Mechanical Marionettes, but there was no news of the whereabouts of these Mechanical Marionettes.
It seemed that every Holy Tower was a bottomless pit, sucking in the strategic resources of the Sorcerer World like Mechanical Marionettes, completely disappearing without a trace.
Even at this time on the foreign battlefield.
There were obviously so many Mechanical Marionettes on the Void Fortress, but the Battle Command still chose to use the Sorcerer Slave Legion and the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers' lives as the vanguard blade, instead of using these Mechanical Marionettes that were supposed to be "cannon fodder" to charge and break through the enemy lines.
Was it the Celestial Sorcerer and the Stigmata Sorcerer's decision-making error?
From the perspective of the wisdom of a low-level life, Grimm could not help but make such a guess and judgment.
However …
A self-deprecating sneer.
The vision of any low-level life was short-sighted. Perhaps the biggest difference between the wisdom of an official sorcerer and a sorcerer-apprentice was that they understood this point.
Perhaps when Grimm stood at the life level of an official sorcerer, and possessed this level of forward-looking wisdom, he would understand some of the reasons.
Why would the Sorcerer Slave Legion and the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers actually become "cannon fodder" for these Mechanical Marionettes that were supposed to be cannon fodder?
Buzz …
A ten-meter-tall Mechanical Marionette with simple judgment and intelligence was carefully digging out a severely injured and unconscious sorcerer from the pile of corpses. It carefully carried the sorcerer and quickly flew to the Void Fortress in the distance to seek treatment.
Other than collecting relics and spoils of war, these Mechanical Marionettes' highest order seemed to be to rescue the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers and collect the sorcerers' corpses.
In the distant sky, the Sorcerer World's Void Fortress, which was made of blood-red metal, was more than ten thousand meters tall. It floated in the sky without restraint, releasing waves of invisible pressure. It was as if it was challenging the entire Shadow World, declaring war and oppressing it.
Countless black dots flew in and out, carrying out a variety of missions for this gigantic object.
At this time, the Sorcerer World's first decisive battle in the Shadow World ended with the Sorcerer World's complete victory.
The Void Fortress that floated unscrupulously in the sky, with its huge body, would become the most stable base of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer Expedition in this foreign world.
As long as it did not leave this world, as long as it was not destroyed, all the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers and Voidships would enjoy an endless supply of the Sorcerer World's Principal Will, with the enhancement of the Sorcerer Barrier, a stable and stable base, and the faith of the Sorcerer Will!
At the same time, the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers would collect more and more Amonro Despair. They would collect more and more specimens and research more and more thoroughly, and they would become more and more accustomed to the rules of this foreign world. Their research plans against the Amonros would become clearer and clearer, and the Amonros would gradually lose hope.
They would then experience the terror of a higher and more advanced civilization.
From then on, the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers would use this Principal Void Fortress as the core to launch a decade-long, century-long struggle for dominance of the world. They would do whatever it took until the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers achieved their goal.
