Even Divine Fire powerhouses could at most protect themselves when facing the suppression of a world, and they might not even be able to protect themselves.
The Natural Demiplane was Lin Yun's greatest source of confidence. As long as he developed the Natural Demiplane and made it develop smoothly, there wouldn't be too much of a problem.
After leaving the Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun instantly felt the mana in the surroundings becoming violent. He flew to the sky and looked around. He discovered that everyone in the fort was in a hurry. Mages kept falling into the fort, and there were also people flying out of the fort. The sky in the front line's direction had already changed color, and the black clouds had transformed into a huge vortex.
The radiance of spells kept shining there, spreading over a thousand kilometers. Lin Yun couldn't see the situation of the battle, but he could see the flickering radiance of those spells to know how intense the battle was.
He couldn't feel any mana fluctuations from over a thousand kilometers away, and it even felt as if the front line was very far away. When he saw the fort emitting a faint metallic luster, Lin Yun suddenly understood.
Agalon and Alonzo had already done what was said. The newly built fort seemed to be half the size, but it was definitely a lot more sturdy than the previous forts built with the help of spells.
These fortresses were all made of steel mixed with Magic Iron, and they were engraved with dense magic patterns and runes, making the entire fortress a single entity. With the addition of Mana Crystals and the like, it could almost be considered a relatively cumbersome Magic Fortress.
This was only the defensive capabilities of the Stronghold. As an important node of the huge hexagram array, the Stronghold played a much stronger role than the previous Strongholds.
He couldn't feel too much mana fluctuations because the phased array formed by these fort nodes had already started activating and was slowly advancing.
They had already advanced over a thousand kilometers in the past few days, and the sea of flames originally lying in the center of the passage had already been thoroughly extinguished. Noscent's allied forces had already crossed this sea of flames and thoroughly occupied the land where the sea of flames had originally been. Steel forts of different shapes had already taken root there.
Lin Yun flew out of the fort under his feet and flew towards the front line. Before reaching the front line, he saw six floating fortresses dragging a steel fort towards the front line.
That steel fort was less than two kilometers in diameter, and its shape was like a hemisphere missing a corner. It only had the upper half of a sphere, while the lower half was flat. There were also six hundred-meter-long steel spikes at the bottom of the flat surface.
These spikes were made of Magic Iron mixed with other magic metals, and they were covered in dense alchemy patterns. With a glance, Lin Yun could guess the use of these metal spikes.
When that steel fort fell to the ground, those six hundred-meter-long spikes would stab into the earth. After the fort was thoroughly stabilized, the arrays arranged on the six spikes would be activated, and with the control of other mages, they would be able to make these six spikes change shape and make the fort firmly latch onto the earth. The earth within five kilometers would be caught, and no one would be able to move the fort, nor would they be able to lift it up again.
Moreover, the flat surface at the bottom of the fort was also covered in dense alchemy patterns, magic patterns, inscriptions, and runes.
When combined, there was a special ability to prevent the stronghold from moving after coming into contact with the earth. The Earthvein Linkage Spell Formation connected the stronghold to the earth, making it a part of the earth. Unless the earth completely collapsed, the stronghold would not have any problems. At the very least, as a node of the hexagram spell formation, it would definitely not have any problems.
And by using the power of the earth itself, the fort's defenses would increase by another level.
Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry to rush to the frontlines, he instead followed the team transporting the steel fort.
There were at least five layers of defenses set up within a hundred kilometers around the fort. It would be impossible for the Undead to destroy them, not to mention that the closest battlefield was five hundred kilometers away.
The floating fortress supporting the steel fort should be a masterpiece of City in the Sky, and Lin Yun could see traces of seven or eight other forces in the construction of this fort.
As the fort flew over a hundred kilometers, Gandaph was already waiting there. Lin Yun didn't go over to disturb him, he just calmly watched and helped keep watch.
The six floating fortresses dragged the steel fortress down slowly. Gandalf personally adjusted the direction and position of the fortress.
The ground had already been tidied up into a mirror-like open space, and there were even six special marks on the open space, representing the positions of the six spikes.
The fort slowly descended, and the spikes were aimed at those six positions. Then, as the floating fortresses floated down, the six thick spikes easily pierced the ground due to the weight of the fort.
Once the fort was about to completely fall to the ground, the six floating fortresses adjusted their positions and appeared on the side of the steel fort, slowly dragging the steel fort down.
A muffled rumble echoed as the fort thoroughly fell to the ground. After stabilizing, the fort's array automatically activated, and the surrounding earth and the fort became one, making the base of the fort look like it had grown out of the earth.
In just a few seconds, the connection had spread to a range of more than 10 kilometers. As time passed, the range would grow larger and larger. When the surrounding Fortresses were activated, they would be connected and no one would be able to pull a Fortress out of the ground.
The rock mage rushed up to activate some of the arrays, and a steel mage of the Rodney Family also started activating an array that had been prepared in advance.
Countless runes appeared in Lin Yun's eyes, and his gaze seemed to be able to see through the earth and see the six spikes piercing into the ground.
In addition to these steel spikes, there were also huge steel ingots buried deep in the ground. The mageweath engraved on the surface of the steel spikes began to operate, and the surface of the six thick steel spikes exploded like hedgehogs, with many smaller spikes bursting out.
After these spikes came in contact with the steel ingots buried deep in the ground, those steel ingots seemed to have been controlled and started changing shape, just like a metal tree growing in the depths of the earth.
Those six thickest spikes were the trunks of the six steel trees, and the huge steel ingots buried in the surroundings were the nutrients needed for the growth of the steel trees. The trunks branched out, and the branches branched out again, repeating the cycle.
Soon, the steel ingots in the depths of the earth slowly disappeared. The steel under the steel fort was like an extended root, spreading over a dozen kilometers and reaching a depth of four to five hundred meters. The complex steel roots devoured all the steel elements in the earth, and with the steel fort above and the coordination of the other arrays, they were able to devour all the steel elements in the earth.
The earth here had become even harder than stone, and this kind of transformation was still continuing as time passed. Lin Yun was somewhat shocked as he looked at it.
Noscent's mages finally started bursting with the radiance of the Mage Civilization, the cooperation of humans, and the wisdom of mages were displayed vividly.
All kinds of alchemists were indispensable to the construction of this steel fort. Alchemists proficient in arrays and Magic Tools were indispensable, and alchemists proficient in puppeteering were also in charge of the construction of some components. As for the seemingly useless potions, they were actually the most important.
Alchemists proficient in potioneering didn't just know how to make potions, they also had a deep foundation of knowledge. They could be proficient in the construction of many magic patterns, inscriptions, and runes. And in order to fuse this steel fort, they needed potions the most.
Not all potions were for mages to use, there were many potions with special abilities, such as Metal Fusion Potions, Reagent Catalysts, Physical Properties Change Potions …
Alchemy was the science of the Mage Civilization. It was impossible to thoroughly distinguish one kind, but everyone usually liked to distinguish what an alchemist was proficient in based on their final results.
Apart from the indispensable alchemists, the construction of this fort also needed fire mages and ice mages. Earth mages and even rock mages were needed to activate it, and most importantly, the Rodney Family's steel mages were needed to help activate it.
Transportation was also a huge problem. Many forces, such as the City in the Sky, were proficient in this, so they joined the transportation team.
Although Lin Yun had previously said that he could throw Agalon out of the Natural Demiplane, it was just a joke. If Agalon could do this, then there were also mages like Alonzo and Gandaph.
But there were too many steel forts needed, and they couldn't take care of them one by one. This showed the cooperation of mages, and the explosive power of their cooperation shocked Lin Yun.
When he saw the description of the peak of the magic era, Lin Yun felt that that era was the peak of the mage industry, and the efficiency was so high that it made one's hair stand on end.
Now that he saw this scene, Lin Yun suddenly understood that Noscent had unknowingly started speeding up towards the peak. The impact he wanted to see had finally appeared. Those slow mages were now finally starting to pursue efficiency.
As long as they saw the benefits, it would be impossible to make them slow down in the future.
