Within the Sorcerer camp.
A group of Sorcerers were gathered in a corner of the camp, silently looking up at the black dot that was circling in the distant sky.
Beside them, an enormous illusory boundary covered the entire valley, allowing it to completely blend into the surrounding forest. From the sky, it was impossible to see any flaws.
Behind them, the Magus camp was bustling like a huge construction site. Countless mechanical beasts, wizard beasts, and elemental puppets were bustling about, and the embryonic form of a Magus Tower was slowly taking shape.
According to the original plan, a nine-story Wizard Tower that was more than 200 meters tall would be erected here. Its functions were similar to those of the Sorcerer World's mid-level Sorcerer Towers, which focused on defense and attack. The internal non-combat facilities had been greatly reduced.
Such a Sorcerer Tower might not be comfortable to live in, but it was a necessary war fortress for the rapid expansion of the Sorcerer World. Every time he arrived at an unfamiliar plane, the first thing he did was to set up this simplified version of the War Wizard Tower.
As long as they succeeded, at least the Sorcerers who entered the plane would be able to break away from the shackles of the plane's laws within the range of the Sorcerer Tower, thereby creating the most favorable battle environment for the Sorcerers in the local battlefield.
At this time, the three underground floors of the Wizard Tower had been completely built, and only the first and second floors of the tower had been completed above ground. At this moment, many mechanical beasts were seriously carving spell formations on the walls of the tower under the command of the Magi.
After all, this was a foreign world, and it was impossible to transport all the construction materials through the costly ultra-long-distance teleportation across planes. Therefore, the second batch of wizards brought along some rare materials and resources. As for the stone and wood used to build the tower, they could only use local materials.
According to the normal construction of a Wizard Tower, the body of the tower would be built with multi-layer composite stone. The outer walls were naturally made of materials such as obsidian and steel rock that had powerful anti-magic properties, while the inner walls were made of special materials such as cyan stone, blood stone, and volcanic rock that had good magic conductivity.
However, as to which one to use, it usually depended on the individual attributes of the wizard stationed in the tower. A wizard tower built in this way would naturally create a living environment that was consistent with the attributes of the wizard stationed in the tower, which was beneficial to the strength of high-grade wizards.
Unfortunately, in the Other World, the lack of resources made all of this a dream. That was why this simple Wizard of War Tower could only be built with local materials, and the stone used to build the tower was taken from the nearby mountains.
The wizards had already commanded a large number of Elemental Puppets to dig up a small hill nearby, almost emptying it from the bottom. Using this method, they were able to support the huge amount of stone used to build the Wizard Tower.
These ordinary mountain rocks and sedimentary rocks naturally did not have as good a witchcraft characteristic as the special stones, and the quality could not reach a satisfactory level. Therefore, the wizards could only use the method of carving a large number of fortifying spell formations on the walls of the tower to make up for the defects in the stone.
This undoubtedly caused the consumption of rare materials and resources to become even greater!
The consumption of resources in the early stages of conquering other planes was extremely terrifying.
Even though it was just a simplified version of the Wizard of War's Pagoda, it was enough to deplete the resource reserves of a small Wizard Family for decades. Furthermore, once the war was lost, the number of sorcerers and resources that could be successfully withdrawn from other planes would be even fewer. Most of the investments would be wasted.
Therefore, the Planar War was not only the only convenient way for some small and medium-sized Sorcerer Clans to quickly rise to power, but it was also a terrifying nightmare that could destroy a certain Sorcerer Clan's foundation.
Therefore, every Wizard Clan had to be very careful when faced with unknown dimensions. Not only did they have to prevent the enemy clan from learning of their plans, they also had to hoard large amounts of resources in order to build the Wizard of War's Pagoda in the shortest time possible, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent Planar War.
Yes, the true Planar War had yet to begin!
The numerous battles that Grimm and the rest had fought previously were at most the prelude and appetizer before the Planar War began. The true Planar War was much more brutal and bloody than regular wars. It was not something that a newbie like Grimm could imagine with his brain alone!
Seeing the black dot at the end of the horizon still lingering, a wizard could not help but curse angrily.
With such a jinx hanging over their heads every day, the Wizard Camp did not dare carry out any major operations. The construction of the Wizard of War's Pagoda would inevitably be affected.
"Sir Forgan, do you think we should send some Wizard Beasts to lure him away?" someone could not help but suggest.
"We can't act rashly! At the moment, there is not a single Wizard in the camp who can fight against a level 3 Dragon Knight. If the location of the camp is exposed, I'm afraid it won't take long for the top experts of this dimension to catch wind of it. If that happens, the expansion plan that our family has been preparing for decades will have to be abandoned! "Wizard Forgan shook his head coldly, rejecting his subordinate's suggestion.
"But it's not a good idea to let the Dragon Knight hang around here all the time!" A wizard said worriedly, "The Illusory Barrier can only extend to a height of 80 meters. Once the Wizard of War's Pagoda is built, it will definitely be the most eye-catching landmark in this forest. As long as the Dragon Knight is not blind, there is no way he won't discover it. At that time … "
"Hmph …" Wizard Forgan shook his head and said, "Do you think the Dragon Knights of this dimension are so worthless that they are willing to keep using level 3 Dragon Knights as sentries? In my opinion, this Dragon Knight is looking for the group of Demon Hunter Knights that were eliminated last time. If he can't find them, he will definitely … Eh? "
While they were talking, the Dragon Knight in the distant sky suddenly froze in mid-air and stopped moving. After a while, with a loud dragon's roar, the Dragon Knight turned around and flew southwest without looking back.
Looking at the direction he left, he should be returning to Blue Hill City!
Wizard Forgan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ordered, "Contact Miray in Blue Hill City immediately. See if there are any changes. I feel like the Dragon Knight was in a hurry when he left, as if something happened! "
"Yes!" The wizards behind him bowed and immediately turned around to leave.
A moment later, a Magus rushed back in a hurry.
"Mr. Forgan, something has happened, something big has happened …"
…
The four of them returned to Blue Hill City in the early morning of the next day.
But before they could even sit down to catch their breath, Forgan's personal order was delivered to them. Hence, they hurried to the Magus camp without stopping!
There, Forgan questioned them in detail about what they had done in Heduran City.
After listening to Wizard Forgan's story, all the family's wizards who stayed behind to guard the camp looked at each other, unable to believe what they had just heard. Even Mr. Forgan lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Ambushing a rank 2 green dragon? Turning the enemy's heavily guarded city upside down, and even beating the dragon companion of another Dragon Knight to the brink of death?
Even the most melodramatic hero biographies wouldn't dare to fabricate such a bizarre and complicated story, right? That was a rank 2 giant dragon!
To be honest, even a rank 2 wizard like Forgan would not be able to win against a rank 2 green dragon! After all, giant dragons could fly, and their magic and physical resistance were shockingly high. On top of that, adult giant dragons could also use draconic spells. Wasn't this the same as a combination of an elemental wizard and a physique wizard? The kind that could fly!
So no matter what plane of existence, giant dragons had the terrifying ability to challenge enemies of a higher rank!
The only reason why a rank 3 dragon knight chose a rank 2 giant dragon as his partner was because he could not defeat these flying, thick-skinned, and spitting dragons!
Among the four wizards in front of him, two of them were newbies who had advanced less than half a year ago. How could they beat a rank 2 green dragon by working together? That did not sound very believable. But looking at the clues, it seemed that this was the only explanation for the dragon knight's strange behavior!
Although it was important to search for the team of Demon Hunters in the forest, his companion was beaten half to death by a flying mount in his own camp. This was a serious matter, and he had no choice but to return to Heduran City as soon as possible.
Therefore, after thinking about it deeply, Forgan could only choose to believe them.
But with this, it was hard to predict how the situation would develop in the future!
They had annihilated a team of more than a hundred Demon Hunters, and now there was such a brazen attack in Heduran City. If they still could not guess that the intruders they were looking for were hiding nearby, they would really be a bunch of idiots!
Cutting off the leg of a rank 3 dragon knight was indeed good news, but in exchange, the enemy's army might arrive earlier. The pros and cons of this matter needed to be weighed carefully.
But Lord Forgan did not dare to let these people out in Blue Hill City. He could tell that these people weren't people who knew their place. If he left them outside, they would definitely stir up a big mess in a few days. So he could only force a smile and leave them in the camp.
Grimm and the other three had obtained a lot of benefits in Heduran City and needed a quiet place to digest them, so they accepted it calmly. Especially Mary, who could be said to have gained the most out of the four.
The vampires were always busy chasing after the blood of the strong!
Corgan, Feryl, and Grimm had at most obtained some green dragon flesh as a top-grade spell material, but Mary could directly convert the dragon blood into blood energy to increase the upper limit of her strength. This terrifying ability was the most terrifying thing about the vampire race!
So when they returned to the wizard camp, Mary went into seclusion again!
