Following the arrival of the demon wave, the flames of war and the smoke of gunpowder never dissipated!
Terrifying news of exotic beast invasions or Black Forest riots could be heard almost everywhere on the Magus Continent. No matter which one it was, it would bring a terrifying disaster and an incomparable impact to the local mortal world.
From time to time, there would be news of a region suffering heavy casualties due to the invasion of unknown exotic beasts, or a former human kingdom being destroyed due to the outbreak of plague or the invasion of exotic beasts … The more such news was heard, the more panic the citizens would feel.
They would bring their wives and children, catch up with the few remaining livestock, or hide deep in the mountains, or follow the vast crowds of people to the few regions that were considered safe so far. Among them, the Elowis and Hayworth regions under the Crimson Family's rule were undoubtedly the safest islands.
The citizens living in these two regions had reason to feel blessed for their happiness.
Every time they saw the astonishing number of giant floating airships in the sky, every time they passed by the border checkpoints and saw the rows of tall and mighty metal magic machines, they would feel a sense of security from the bottom of their hearts.
Because the Crimson Family had done a lot of preparation work, they had almost all the hidden dangers in these two regions monitored in advance. Thus, during the first wave of the demon wave, all the exotic beasts that had slipped into the Crimson territory were eliminated by the family's armed forces before they could do anything.
The direct result of this was that in the 31 regions of the central continent, other regions had more or less serious incidents of exotic beast invasions. However, only the two regions ruled by the Crimson Family did not even have the shadow of a single magical beast.
Not to mention the invasion of exotic beasts, even the Black Forest adjacent to the Elowis region was surrounded by the giant floating airships that had just gathered a group of wild beasts and low-tier magical beasts before they could even rush out of the forest.
Once the Crimson Fleet arrived, they did not say a word and directly dropped the Magic Dragon No. 1 that they had carried. Following the Magic Dragon No. 1 was a magic machine group of two thousand people.
They were no longer the heavy and clumsy old machines that spat out large amounts of white steam. Instead, they were the PG-52 combat magic machines that had been repeatedly improved and strengthened by dozens of generations of gnomes.
In terms of overall performance, a PG-52 combat machine's basic combat strength was comparable to a Grade 2 Wizard. If one were to consider the fearlessness and obedience of the Magic Machinery, the price-performance ratio of the Magic Machinery would be far above that of a Tier 2 Wizard.
However, the power of magic machinery could not be infinitely amplified.
Basically, the PG-52 Battle Magic Machinery was already at the peak of magical battle machinery!
This meant that Tier 2 was the limit of mass-produced Magic Equipment.
If he wanted to increase the power of the Magic Machinery, he would have to use more expensive Magic Alloys and rare metals. Due to the limitation of resources and materials, it was obvious that the Demonic Equipment could not expand indefinitely.
However, the appearance of the Golem Dragon had earned some face for the Magical Equipment Guild. Thanks to the outstanding performance of the Devil Dragon No. 1, the Goblin Magic Machinery finally had a good product in the high level.
Therefore, when the Devil Dragon No. 1's hundred-meter-tall metal body appeared in the Black Forest, it created a wide path that was dozens of meters wide in the depths of the forest. The group of beasts that had just gathered together dispersed immediately.
The Devil Dragon No. 1 with its huge metal body was a super Magic Equipment that could fight against a Tier 4 Wizard. Although it could not move freely and had many defensive blind spots, it was no longer a problem with the help of the two thousand combat magic machines behind it.
The beast horde that had just gathered was like a flock of frightened lambs running around in the depths of the forest. The Devil Dragon No. 1 and the magic machine group behind it were wantonly chasing and slaughtering them.
The monsters that had been provoked by the Magic Wave also formed groups of three to five and fearlessly charged at the magic machine group. Unfortunately, their valiance and violence were all crushed in front of the indestructible body of the Combat Magic Machinery.
In the face of the unstoppable metal tide, individual bravery and bravery were of no use. Although a few powerful Monster Lords could also cause some small waves, they would be smashed into pieces in the blink of an eye like a huge wave crashing into a reef, disappearing without a trace.
Poison Twilight Lizardmen, Heart Splitters, Gnolls, Wood Spikes, Blackscale Lizardmen, Wind Winged Birds, Spider Apes, Forest Trolls, Blue Treants, Mud Monsters, Armored Grizzly Bears, Skull Crusher Ogres, Earth Crystal Men, Hundred-eyed Ghosts, Stone Singers, Giant Winged Snake Dragons …
In truth, the Dark Forest of the Sorcerer World was like a treasure trove of monsters. There were all kinds of monsters of all shapes and sizes, and their numbers were terrifying.
Each of the monster leaders was a terrifying guy on their own, but when they encountered an organized Magic Legion, they were nothing more than small shrimps that could not cause any trouble.
In the face of the Magic Dragon No. 1 that could easily take down a city, the magic machine group that did not hesitate to fire their cannons, and the floating airship that controlled the entire situation from the sky … After a few troublesome monster leaders were killed on the spot by the magic cannons, the rest of them scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing into the depths of the forest without looking back and disappearing without a trace.
In an instant, no traces of monsters could be found within three thousand miles of the Dark Forest in the northeastern corner of the Elovis region.
After chasing the monsters further away, the magic machine group did not continue their pursuit and chose to retreat into the family. However, the Crimson Fleet had left some hidden surveillance spell formations within the three thousand mile boundary.
This way, any subsequent actions of the monsters would not be able to escape the eyes of the Crimson Family.
The three thousand mile buffer zone was enough for the Crimson Family to survive the Magic Wave.
It had to be known that it was not easy for the leaders of the Magical Creatures to organize a large scale Magic Wave. They did not have the concept of logistics and organization.
With their power as a Lord, they could barely suppress the Magic Wave for two to three days. Gathering the Magic Beasts, forcing them to move towards human settlements …
Such complicated operations could be done once in a while. However, once the target was thousands of miles away, suppressing the agitation of the Magic Beasts and allowing them to successfully reach the location of the attack became an impossible task.
No high-ranked Magic Beast was willing to endure three to five days of hunger to cross three thousand miles and attack a human town. After all, there was prey everywhere and they could eat it to fill their stomachs. Once the high-ranked Magic Beasts began to hunt as they pleased, the wild beasts and vicious birds that they had captured would scatter in all directions, and it would be difficult to control them.
Hence, to a certain extent, the three thousand mile buffer zone was an insurmountable barrier for the Magic Wave!
Of course, the Crimson Family's method of suppressing the Magic Beasts was not something that any Magus family could learn. They wanted to find the location of the Magic Beasts in the Dark Forest, where danger lurked everywhere, and then send out the elites of the family to disperse the core forces in one go, taking advantage of the situation to drive them to a safe distance away.
To accomplish this, they needed an elite team that could fight, one that was not restricted by the terrain and environment.
Among most Magus families, only a few rank 4 Magus troops could barely reach this standard. The rest were either not strong enough, or they lacked flying mounts that could move at high speeds in the Dark Forest.
If they were unable to disperse the Magic Beasts in a thunderous manner, then in the dark and serene Dark Forest, a bloody and brutal battle would ensue. This was definitely not good news for the Magus troops that were deep in the enemy's territory.
Big families had abundant resources and financial resources, and could control multiple sorcerer troops with strange combat abilities at the same time. However, most small to medium-sized Magus families only had one Magus troop that they had painstakingly raised.
If the main force of such a family were to fall in the Dark Forest, the whole family would not be able to recover, and would be reduced to a third-rate faction.
Hence, without complete confidence, no Magus family would dare to send out their precious forces to attack the Magic Beasts. They preferred to defend the Wizard Tower and use the War Wizard's Pagoda and Wizard Beasts to defend against the attacks of the Magic Beasts.
With the abilities of the Magical Beast Leaders, it was difficult for them to break through an official Wizard's Pagoda.
Hence, the safety of the Magi would be guaranteed, and the Magus troops would not face the risk of being completely wiped out.
However, the huge disaster that the Magic Beasts could bring to the family's territory was unavoidable!
However, in the eyes of the Magi, the losses of official Magi and Magus troops were unacceptable. As for the ordinary people in the family's territory, their losses were just numbers on the books to the Magi.
Even though the death of a large number of people would be a headache for the Magi, they would never use their Magi's lives to protect these so-called "assets".
The loss of "assets" could be slowly recovered, but the loss of the family's precious Magi resources was absolutely unacceptable!
It was this conservative and short-sighted style of the Magi that made the Magic Beasts so aggressive and dangerous, bringing continuous unrest and deep suffering to the entire Magus Continent.
Compared to the central part of the continent, where everyone did things their own way, the three major Magi organizations displayed a high degree of organization and discipline.
The Silver Alliance was rich and overbearing. In order to deal with the Magic Beasts, they began to shrink the population in their territory, temporarily moving the ordinary people inland, far away from the Space Cracks and the Dark Forest. The towns and fortresses at the borders were filled with a large number of metal constructs and puppet creations.
