Once the bloodline package was mentioned, it immediately caused a huge uproar within the Crimson family.
The entire package could be split into three grades: low, medium, high, and top-grade.
The low-grade package could only fuse with the bloodlines of exotic beasts or magical creatures, allowing the modified Magi to have special spells in certain areas. Only the mid-grade and above bloodline packages had the miraculous effect of increasing one's strength, allowing Magi who had lost their path of advancement to have another chance at breaking through to the mid-grade.
Their price was just like their value, so high that it made people feel despair!
Even the lowest-grade bloodline modification would cost 20,000 contribution points, and the mid-grade bloodline modification that most Magi were interested in would cost 50,000 contribution points.
However, in the Crimson family's mission list, a Grade 1 Magus who guarded a family encampment or resource point for a year would only earn 300 contribution points. Daily activities such as patrolling, hunting, potion concocting, and crafting magic tools were mostly less than 100 points.
Hence, if Magi from most families wanted to accumulate enough contribution points before their lifespans ended, the only way was through war.
Like all Magus families, the Crimson family's mission list had the most generous rewards for Planar Wars and Magus Wars, easily earning 3,000 to 4,000 contribution points.
This led to an uncontrollable wave of requests from the Crimson family for war.
Grim, Mary, Alice, and a few core Magi gathered together for a simple discussion, and quickly came up with a feasible battle plan.
The Magus World's large and small organisations were intertwined, and the relationships between them were complicated. If they rashly started a war here, it would be difficult to control the situation. On the other hand, the Goblin Plane was peaceful, so there was no need to stir up trouble there. Hence, after much deliberation, the only suitable place was the Lance Plane.
After decades of development and cultivation by the Crimson family, they had basically established a foothold in the Lance Plane. As long as a few Grade 4 Dragons did not attack together, the Eternal Capital would be an impregnable fortress that could withstand the invasion of a large group of dragons.
All these years, in order to avoid a backlash from the Dragon Lords, the Crimson family had kept a low profile regarding the exploitation of resources in the Lance Plane. Even when they hunted giant dragons, they mainly poached and rarely raided the giant dragon's territory with great fanfare.
This time, however, Grimm intended to go all out. He had actually targeted the Tier 4 Dragon Lord closest to Eternal Capital, the Amethyst Dragon Toriel.
The nest of the Amethyst Dragon Toriel was located 23,000 kilometers northwest of the Eternal Capital, in the Crystal Canyon. If Grim's team wanted to reach there, they would have to pass through the territories of 23 Tier 1 Dragons, 7 Tier 2 Dragons, and 2 Tier 3 Dragons.
The journey could be said to be arduous and dangerous, and danger lurked in every corner.
However, if the Crimson Family wanted to get rid of these Tier 4 Dragons, they would have to pay a certain price.
Ten years ago, with the Crimson Family's strength, they might not have dared to provoke those Tier 4 Dragons. Now, however, the Tier 4 Metal Puppet Dragon had joined the Crimson Family's forces and was equipped with multiple Magic Cannons. Its firepower had already reached the mid-tier of Tier 4 creatures.
This was the main reason why Grimm dared to challenge the Tier 4 Dragons!
Grimm also wanted to use this opportunity to sort out the core forces of the family once more, selecting those with great potential and nurturing them carefully.
Once the Lance Planar Expedition plan was announced, it immediately attracted the Crimson Magi's attention. Those who had been struggling to earn contribution points from the Planar Wars swept away their fear of the Planar Wars and rushed to the Eternal Capital to join the expedition.
In a short period of time, close to 60% of the Crimson Family's elite Magi had gathered in the Eternal Capital, and the scale of the expedition grew larger and larger!
Magus Calendar, Year 32889, 11th of June.
On the 17th day after the declaration of war, the expedition gathered in the Eternal Capital finally set off.
Amidst the clanking of metal and the clanking of chains, the huge metal gate on the west side of the Eternal Capital slowly moved to the sides, revealing a gigantic metal structure.
From its appearance, it looked like a giant Metal Dragon that was 50 meters tall and 115 meters long.
Its body was supported by two pairs of thick and sturdy metal legs, and its huge metal head was raised high, glinting with a faint blue magical metallic luster under the sunlight. Behind it was a steel tail that was nearly 10 meters long, densely covered in steel spikes and spikes. The tip of the tail was gathered into the shape of a meteor hammer.
When such a Steel Dragon marched forward, the entire earth seemed to tremble and tremble slightly. Every time its four metal legs rose and fell, it would leave a huge pit that was 3 meters wide and 1 meter deep.
Of course, this Metal Dragon was not the only Metal Dragon in the expedition. In front and behind the Magical Golem Dragon, hundreds of Goblin Chariots were like soldiers escorting a general, whistling as they charged into the distance in perfect formation.
In the sky above this huge fleet, a silver-white Mothership floated quietly above the clouds, surrounded by 30 to 40 smaller Goblin Airships that were more agile. Further away, hundreds of strange-looking Eyeball Airships shuttled back and forth, occasionally lowering their altitude to drill into the bushes, dark forests, or misty swamps to investigate.
Every time they discovered a dangerous area, the Eyeball Airships would summon the Goblin Airships and use Goblin Rockets or concentrated energy rays to clean up the area.
This way, no matter what was hiding there, it would be instantly turned into a hornet's nest, no longer threatening the fleet.
With this kind of three-dimensional investigation, the native creatures and spies of other races that were scattered along the route of the expeditionary army were in big trouble. Before they could even understand what was going on, they had already lost their lives.
Of course, with such a huge formation of the expeditionary army, as long as the powerful native creatures were not stupid, they would run away at the sight of the wind, trying their best to escape from the route of the expeditionary army.
Grimm and the other wizards on the Mothership could clearly see that in front of the huge fleet of goblins, countless beasts and magical creatures were rushing out of their nests in panic, gathering into a black torrent and escaping towards the horizon.
Among the huge fleet, the Magic Golem Dragon was the slowest, but it could still reach 50 kilometers per hour. Thus, the vanguard fleet would stop at a certain place every once in a while to wait for the big guys at the back.
Grimm and the other higher-ups of the Crimson Family naturally chose to use the Mothership as their ride. As the fleet slowly advanced, they silently made all sorts of preparations.
For this expedition, the Crimson Family had mobilized a total of one Grade 4 Magic Golem Dragon, 102 Goblin Chariots, one Patrol Mothership, 45 Goblin Airships, and 1170 Metal Magic Machines … This was only in terms of equipment. In terms of manpower, the Crimson Family had given their all.
Grade 3: Grimm, Mary, Lightning Dragon Armes, and Emerald Mother Dragon Aretina.
Grade 2: Alice, Cloned Brain Gelu, Insect Lich Bliss, Dragonman Zacha, Goblin Tigula, Dragon Eater Olivia, two Blood Knights, three Blood Elves, and seven Green Dragons.
The rest were 67 Tier 1 Sorcerers and 326 Sorcerer-Apprentices.
Apart from that, there were also 257 Goblin pilots and technicians …
Such a huge fleet was naturally grandiose and earth-shattering. Everywhere they passed, beasts would flee. Unknowingly, a small beast tide had formed in front of the fleet!
The wizards who were interested in the natural environment and magical creatures of other worlds boarded the Goblin Airships and spread out for dozens of miles around the fleet, searching for or collecting specimens from other worlds to increase their own species reserves. During this period, it was inevitable that they would have to fight some native creatures or magical creatures.
Every Goblin Airship was equipped with 5-10 Metal Magic Machines and three Magic Cannons. The firepower they possessed was enough to flatten ordinary enemies. Once they encountered a powerful magical creature, the wizards in the fleet would quickly send out a message to the fleet behind them.
Thus, more wizards and Goblin Airships would gather and use their ferocious firepower to drown the enemy.
Although most of the native magical creatures were powerful, they could not fly.
In that case, they were like moving targets in front of the Goblin Airships. Even if they ran until they were foaming at the mouth, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Magi.
Thus, battered and unconscious magical creatures were transported onto the patrol motherships. Magical plants of different shapes and effects were also harvested and kept in the pockets of the Magi.
The Magi who were good at concocting potions or concocting wizard beasts were kept busy in the cabins of the patrol motherships. Although the fleet already had a large number of Magic Machines as cannon fodder, adding a few more wizard beasts was not a bad idea.
Just like that, they swaggered through the streets, plundering and looting. Two days later, the huge fleet arrived at the territory of their first predetermined target.
This was the territory of a Grade 1 little dragon. It had a circumference of about a hundred miles, and there were two small cities of other races as well as a number of natives living together.
Unfortunately, when the Eyeball Mech that was sent to investigate the little dragon's Steel Back Mountain, the little dragon had already escaped without a trace. Even the simple and crude dragon nest had been emptied, and not even a small gold coin could be found.
This situation undoubtedly made the cloned brain Gru, who was planning the route of the fleet, extremely embarrassed. He could only silently curse the little dragons for being too cowardly.
Actually, this little dragon was not to be blamed.
The Magus expeditionary force had such a huge fleet and was so ostentatious. Even if the Giant Dragon Lords' ears and eyes were closed, no matter how lazy they were, they would have heard the news long ago. Other than the Dragonmen, the Giant Dragon Lords usually had many flying eyes and ears.
As long as they went out to investigate, they would be able to find out the general strength of this huge fleet.
