The invasion of multiple powerful forces had triggered a violent upheaval in the Morian Plane.
This kind of upheaval that affected the entire plane world might only be a great crisis for the arcanists who could change the world with a wave of their hands, but for the people at the bottom of the plane, it was no less than the change of the world and the collapse of the world.
In the past ten thousand years, the arcanists had established a set of convenient and efficient arcana cultivation system in the entire Morian Plane that was closely connected to the bottom of the plane. This system had also clearly divided the arcanists and the wizards into two distinct spellcasters.
Among the many books of witchcraft that Grim had read, there was once a great wizard who was very fair and impartial in evaluating most of the spellcaster systems.
In the early evolution of intelligent creatures, when faced with thunder, fire, and wind that they didn't understand, people could only choose to pray devoutly and approach carefully. This attitude towards extraordinary power continued to evolve. In the end, those who were equal became shamans, those who were prostrated became priests, and those who were enslaved became arcanists.
From this point of view, the classification of arcana had a kind of uncompromising nature.
This might also be seen as an overall character characteristic of the arcanists!
As a member of the spellcasters, the wizards' research was usually too bloody, taboo, human transformation, and violent slavery. They only sought results regardless of the means. The purpose of witchcraft research was no longer to explore the truth of the world or the origin of magic. It was usually just to master some kind of stronger power or to solve some difficult problems.
Therefore, in many places, the local spellcasters regarded the wizards as arcane tricksters or evil wizards.
The arcanists, on the other hand, were known as the eternal pursuers of the truth of the world and the origin of magic!
According to their own ideas and the characteristics of the system, the arcanists built arcane towers that could fly in the sky and the earth, and huge floating cities that could be used as flying fortresses. And the huge Arcane Kingdom was built around this system.
The Arcane Kingdom divided each plane of the continent into provinces of different sizes, and the real control center of each province was a huge Floating City. Most of the floating cities were built on the nodes of the ley lines, using the magic tide to trigger the surge of elements, thus creating an elemental pool with a continuous stream of energy.
Although the floating city built in this way could float thousands of meters above the sky, it was a little difficult to move freely. Once it left the node, it would lose the constant supply of energy, and the floating city could only rely on the energy stored in the Elemental Pool to support its flight.
If they could not reach the next node before the energy ran out, then what awaited the floating city was a huge disaster!
Because the floating city could only be used as a huge fortress and could not be moved freely, the arcanists specially built arcana towers that were more flexible.
With the arcanists' Arcana Towers, the arcanists could charge into Void Storms unscathed, dive thousands of meters into the ocean to explore, and search for resources and treasures at the core of the planet … It was with the protection of the arcanists' Arcana Towers that the arcanists, whose bodies were no different from those of ordinary people, could fly in the sky and burrow underground.
In order to meet the needs of the plane conquest, the Arcane Kingdom even developed the terrible Half Bitwall, which covered an area of tens or even hundreds of kilometers, transformed the Half Bitwall into strong ships and cannons, which were used to blast open the protective barriers of the Secondary Bitwall.
According to the wizards' past dealings with the Arcane Kingdom, even those Arcane Emperors who were as high as grade 8 only had physical strength that could barely reach the grade 3 standard of the wizards.
The arcanists only focused on the research and popularization of arcane knowledge, but they rarely spent a huge amount of resources to polish and transform their bodies like the wizards. They needed to rely on a series of arcane facilities such as the Arcana Tower, the Elemental Pool, the Mana Pool, the Spell Pool, and so on.
Once these external things were stripped away, the arcanists were simply too weak to withstand a single blow!
…
Three days later, in the early morning.
Grimm's group was traveling on a greyish-white carriage road.
Since they used witchcraft to conceal their appearance and clothing, in the eyes of outsiders, they looked no different from the natives of the plane.
Along the way, all the roads were crowded with people fleeing with their families and bags of all sizes. They all came from the southeast, and they were trekking aimlessly along the road. They didn't know where they should escape to.
Since Grim and his team were moving in the opposite direction, many kind-hearted people along the way tried to persuade them to turn back and not go to the large cities and the Floating City. It was said that the battle there was the most intense, and the casualties were the heaviest!
Grim smiled and refused all the persuasions. He still took his three companions along the road and quickly approached the first target.
In the series of targets set by the main wizard team, the first one was a small human city guarded by an Arcane Tower.
"Since the main wizard team has appointed you as the captain, then … Master Grim, how do you plan to assign the attacking positions?" The Dark Witch who had been silent all the way couldn't help but ask.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the team was filled with a strong sour smell.
Hearing the assignment, the double-headed wizard and the wizard from the Silver Alliance couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Grim.
The Dark Witch's name was Shani, a powerful intermediate rank 4 wizard.
Her appearance and figure were both excellent, and she looked like a very beautiful woman. She was also unusually tall. However, her temperament was unprecedentedly cold and aloof, and she rarely interacted with other members of the team.
Not to mention wizards like Grim and Hori, even the two-headed wizard who had switched to Qiu Lisha's personality could not get a chance to talk to her.
Wizard Holly, on the other hand, inherited the tradition of the Silver Alliance. He was a top-level magic puppet master.
The magic puppet he controlled was a strange starlight mecha. It could be controlled from a distance, and it could also be worn on the body. Its power was even more shocking.
Holly himself was a short man who was only 1.67 meters tall. His body was a little skinny, and his appearance was ordinary. He had a head full of short yellow hair.
Although Grim and the other three belonged to the same battle team in name, they didn't have any real relationship. Furthermore, everyone's strength was on par with Grimm's. Hence, apart from the two-headed Magus, who had no qualms about Grimm being given the title of team leader, the other two Magi were a little indignant.
Therefore, when the tall arcane tower at the end of the road could be seen clearly, the Dark Witch Shani chose to be the first one to jump out and make trouble.
"As you can see, there is no war here, so the arcane tower only has the most basic arcane protection activated." Grim led the team to a sparse forest by the side of the road, and silently peeked at the arcane tower through the swaying canopy.
"If we move fast enough, we can rush in before the arcanists activate their top-level defense. Those guys are not even worth mentioning!"
"You mean … we should force our way in?" Wizard Holly couldn't help but look gloomy.
Out of the four wizards on the team, only he, as a puppet master, was good at this kind of task. If they followed Grim's train of thought, he would probably have to take on the most difficult and tiring task.
"It's not suitable to force our way in!" Grim shook his head, "Although this arcane tower is only a small one, it is not a big threat to us. But if we force our way in, it will cost us a lot of strength. There are still many targets we need to attack along the way, and we can't waste our strength on something like this! "
Hearing this, Wizard Holly's expression became a little better.
"Then what do you suggest?" The Dark Witch Shani still had a cold face.
"Create a little trouble in the city, preferably a riot among the refugees, and lure the arcanists out of the arcane tower to suppress them … That way, we can take advantage of the chaos to attack."
Everyone lowered their heads and thought for a moment. Although they were a little suspicious and dissatisfied with Grim, the method he suggested was the most suitable for the current situation.
Therefore, everyone nodded.
"There are arcane facilities in the arcane tower that can monitor the whole process. If we attack in the city, the spilled witchcraft waves will be easily detected by the enemy. Therefore, try not to use witchcraft if possible. If anyone has a suitable special ability, we can use it now … "Grim pondered for a moment, and then filled in some loopholes in the plan.
"Let me do it!" The two-headed Wizard Mangax could not help but laugh, "My sister is good at psychic spells, and she also has some special psionic abilities. I guarantee that we won't attract the arcanists' attention."
"That's good … After we enter the city, Mangax, you'll be in charge of encouraging the refugees and citizens to rebel. It's best if you can also send some people to besiege the arcane tower. Holly, you and Shani will lie in ambush near the entrance of the arcane tower and wait for my signal. Once you receive the signal, force your way into the arcane tower … Remember, you must destroy their elemental pool first! "
"Understood!"
"Alright!"
Those who were able to stand here were all powerful Sorcerers who had experienced thousands of bloody battles and slaughtered their way up step by step. For this kind of mission, there was no need to carry out too detailed arrangements and assignments. As long as the entire battle plan was pointed out, they would naturally understand.
"Let's enter the city!"
