Wizard World, Blazing Flame Monarch
The battle in front of the Wizard's Pagoda was nearing its end.
In the seven days and seven nights of battle, almost all of the two hundred Magical Machines sent out by the Blazing Flame Monarch had been destroyed in the Lava Hall. The alliance had also lost the lives of twenty-six Wizards, and over twenty-four thousand soldiers of the allied army.
Of course, the loss of the former was even more heart-wrenching for the higher-ups of the alliance.
After all, no matter how many ordinary soldiers were killed, they could quickly return to their territories and recruit more soldiers. If there were not enough young men in their territories, they could just let the citizens do their best to reproduce. The citizens were like chives in a field. Once they were harvested, they would slowly grow back. That was why the Wizards had never worried about the lack of ordinary soldiers.
But the loss of these twenty-six Wizards was heart-wrenching for the higher-ups of the alliance.
If these twenty-six Wizards were gathered in one family, it would be enough to wipe out a Wizard Family.
One could imagine how tragic and heart-wrenching the battle in the Lava Hall had been over the past seven days!
One of the twenty-six Wizards was a Level 2 Wizard from the Leyton Academy. This made the dean of the Leyton Academy, Level 2 Wizard Gill, so furious that he almost went berserk.
There were only three Level 2 Wizards in the entire Leyton Academy. One stayed behind to guard the headquarters, while Dean Gill brought the other to join the Anti-Crimson Family Alliance. They had followed the main force to this place that they hated to the bone.
In the first few rounds of attacks, the situation on the battlefield had been relatively stable, with the alliance basically in control. But as the elite private army of the nobles was depleted, the servant army became weaker, and the signs of mental collapse began to show.
To prevent the ordinary soldiers on the frontlines from completely collapsing, the Wizards of the alliance had no choice but to appear at the frontlines, using their powerful offensive Wizard Spells to destroy one annoying metal Magical Machine after another.
The Wizards of the Crimson Family also made use of the opportunity when they were close to the Wizard's Pagoda to attack the Magical Machines, quickly launching attacks from within the Wizard's Pagoda, gaining the advantage of numbers. Thus, the unlucky Wizards of the alliance fell one after another at the hands of the Crimson Family.
It was the same for the fallen Level 2 Wizard.
Just as he crossed the tall tower and unleashed his might to wreak havoc on the defensive line of Magical Weapons, the seven level two members of the Crimson Family hiding in the Wizard's Pagoda actually joined forces to attack. Those who needed to block the way, those who needed to block the way, those who needed to intercept, those who needed to engage in melee combat … After a fierce battle, the Tier 2 Sorcerer from Leyton Academy died at Mary's hands before his companions could arrive to rescue him.
As for that Tier 3 Vampire, Hynes? Vik had wanted to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Mary, but he was forced to retreat by the terrifying lightning released by the Wizard's Pagoda. Because of this, Hennes did not appear on the battlefield for two days.
However, no matter how many miracles the Crimson Family created on the battlefield, they could not prevent the Wizard's Pagoda from falling.
As the Wizard's Pagoda's energy was greatly depleted, the layer of brilliant clouds that surrounded the body of the Wizard's Pagoda had already disappeared. This meant that the Wizard's Pagoda could no longer support the Force Field Defense of the entire domain. He could only temporarily stop the defense system of the Wizard's Pagoda and use the remaining energy to attack the Wizard Formation in order to intimidate the restless Wizards of the Alliance.
During this period of time, the Crimson Family was able to create 0.
26 miracles on the battlefield were due to the constant support of the Wizard's Pagoda and the deterrence of the powerful Wizard's Pagoda's Offensive Spell Formation. Those high-level Wizards were clearly overseeing the battlefield from the back, but they did not step within a hundred meters of the Wizard's Pagoda. Why was that? Because they did not want to become a pitiful sacrifice to the Wizard's Pagoda's offensive system!
The Crimson Family's energy reserves were still too little. Otherwise, the Wizards of the Alliance would not dare to easily attack a Wizard Tower that was supported by an endless supply of energy, even if they had twice the number of people. Unless all the Wizards of the Alliance had the courage to unite and die with the Wizard's Pagoda, no Wizard would be foolish enough to use their lives to test the power of the other party's Wizard's Pagoda.
After all, under the control of a Level 2 Wizard, the Wizard's Pagoda's Offensive Spell Formation could pose a threat to the life of a Level 3 Wizard.
But now, as the energy reserves of the Wizard's Pagoda dwindled, the threat it posed to the high-level Wizards was also decreasing. The high-level Wizards of the Alliance were also becoming more active.
After a few days of continuous attacks, the surface of the Wizard's Pagoda that had once intimidated tens of thousands of Magical Beasts had begun to show signs of damage.
As for the main battlefield, the Lava Hall, it had become a furnace of flesh and blood that would cause people to shrink back in fear. The thick, pungent stench of blood would rush into one's head the moment one stepped into it. What was even more terrifying was the thick pile of corpses.
One could see layers upon layers of terrifying corpses starting from the entrance of the Lava Hall, and the corpses were piled higher and thicker all the way to the center of the battlefield. Bloody corpses with dismembered limbs and bodies, all sorts of grotesque and tragic deaths were there. It was an indescribably gruesome sight.
As the battle had lasted for too long, the corpses of the Alliance soldiers who had died in battle did not have the chance to be transported to the back. They could only be transported to a corner of the Lava Hall on carts and temporarily piled together. As the battle became more and more intense, they did not even have the time to clean up the corpses. The attacking troops of the Alliance could only step on the undulating flesh and blood forest, fighting against the Magical Machines around the Wizard's Pagoda amidst the blood and mud.
The corpses of over twenty thousand Alliance soldiers were spread out in the Lava Hall. After being continuously trampled and smashed by the large feet of the people who came later, the bodies that formed the pile of corpses had long since become unrecognizable. It was difficult to recognize their original appearances. Only the stinking, rotten black blood flowed out of the pile of corpses, leaving black streams that were almost dried up on the stone floor of the Lava Hall.
A large amount of rotten black blood was evaporated by the high temperature, turning into a bloody mist that floated within the hellish Lava Hall. Humans with strong constitutions would run the risk of contracting a nasty disease if they stayed in such a dirty and harmful environment for more than fifteen minutes, while those with weaker constitutions might be killed on the spot.
However, the remaining Alliance soldiers fought and killed in such a harsh environment. They used Siege Hammers, Battering Rams, and the swords, axes, and hammers in their hands to attack the door of the Wizard's Pagoda and the dark red base of the Wizard's Pagoda. Batches of soldiers fell, and new batches of soldiers took their place.
Their strength was getting weaker and weaker, and their courage had long been worn out. However, under the pressure of the wizards and the nobles, they still had to muster up their courage and roar as they rushed towards the towering, almost unshakable tower.
Every time they gathered around the tower, the body of the Wizard's Pagoda would tremble slightly. Then, thousands of Magical Lines that were usually hidden within the body of the Wizard's Pagoda would light up, guiding a large amount of Magical Energy to gather at the top of the Wizard's Pagoda. There, it would condense into a powerful large-scale Wizard Spell, then blast all of the enemies into pieces.
With the power of mortals, without the protection of Wizard Spells, it was impossible for them to defend against a Wizard Spell attack of this level.
A large amount of flesh and blood was incinerated, a large number of weapons were destroyed, and a large number of souls disappeared from the world while wailing … Some of the more resentful individuals had their illusory souls temporarily not perished after their original bodies died. They still wandered the battlefield in a daze, just like when they were alive.
They still retained the appearance they had when they were alive, but their bodies were emitting a faint fluorescent light, looking a little hazy and illusory. They were either standing stiffly, kneeling on the ground and crying, or wandering aimlessly …
Every time a living being passed by them, they would stare at them with soulless eyes, reach out their almost transparent hands, and wail for help. And once their wishes were not fulfilled, they would instantly become abnormally enraged, transforming into ugly and ferocious vengeful spirits in the shortest amount of time possible, madly pouncing toward the Alliance Soldiers.
Even though they were just illusory bodies, they could still cause a certain amount of damage to a living person with a body of flesh and blood.
Thus, in some of the battlefields where the spirits were gathered, the attacks of the Alliance Soldiers were greatly disrupted.
Originally, with the strength of an ordinary person's soul, it was impossible for them to transform into a spirit in such a short amount of time. But there was too much Magical Energy dispersing from the battlefield today, and too many lives had perished. That was why such a strange land of vengeful spirits had been created by various coincidences.
Left with no choice, the Wizards of the Alliance Army could only send some Wizard Apprentices to specifically exterminate these vengeful spirits that were unwilling to perish even after their original bodies had died.
And at the back of the Alliance Army, many Wizards were still coldly observing this bloody and cruel war!
The large number of deaths of the Alliance Soldiers was just a boring number to them. Even though they would have to pay a large sum of gold coins to compensate their families, it was a thousand times better than letting them experience the attacks of the Wizard's Pagoda. In fact, some Wizards of the Alliance Army, who urgently needed a large number of souls to conduct Wizard Experiments, even sneaked into the battlefield and used some special Wizard Weapons to collect a portion of the souls of the soldiers.
The higher-ups of the Alliance Army also chose to ignore such actions.
After all, they had done something like this before, just that the scale was not as large, and the actions were not as eye-catching. Furthermore, even if they did not collect these souls, they would dissipate into the world and return to the Mother River of Souls.
Rather than that, they might as well let the souls contribute a little to their former owners before they completely perish!
"How much energy does the Wizard's Pagoda have left?" The Level 3 Wizard Yurga, who was leading the team, asked coldly.
A Level 1 Wizard beside him quickly took out a strange Wizard Weapon and aimed it at the Wizard's Pagoda. Soon, he measured a relatively accurate number.
"We still have 1275 Punars, my Lord!"
Punars was a basic unit of Magical Energy that the Wizards had defined. One Punar was equivalent to the basic Magical Energy of a Level 1 Fireball. 1,275 Punars might sound like a large number, but it would seem a little lacking if it was used on a Wizard's Pagoda.
"Very good … Very good …" Yurga let out a cold laugh and said excitedly, "After waiting for so long, this moment has finally come. Next, I announce that all Wizards are to throw themselves into the battle and strive to exhaust the last of the opponent's Magical Energy in two hours, then attack the Wizard's Pagoda … "
"The first Wizard to attack the Wizard's Pagoda will have the priority to choose a spoil of war. The family or faction that this Wizard belongs to will also have an additional 3% of the spoils of war … "
