After falling over a hundred meters, the Radiant Warlord didn't react at all. The ground cracked from the impact, and the scarlet Battle Aura Armor on his body had already disappeared. His body had been smashed to the point where he didn't even look human.
"He died just like that? What's going on? "
Anderfa, who had just been about to make a move, was stunned. The Radiant Warlord, who looked as if he had eaten a dozen Burst Potions, had suddenly died.
It wasn't just Anderfa that was startled. Everyone was stunned, and the fifty mages even forgot to keep casting.
A powerhouse that had been on the verge of advancing to the Heaven Rank and could already display a wisp of the power of the Heaven Rank inexplicably died. No one understood what was going on.
At this time, Lin Yun raised his head from his contemplation. He wasn't surprised by this situation, and a wisp of understanding could be seen in his eyes.
"How could he not pay a price for using power that isn't his own? Not to mention that he was a 9th Rank Sword Saint, yet he wanted to display a wisp of Heaven Rank Extraordinary Power. It's already inconceivable that he died after five minutes."
More and more Archmages were advancing to the Archmage realm, and the power they could display was getting stronger and stronger. It might be a bit troublesome to deal with a 9th Rank Archmage, but they were invincible against a 9th Rank Sword Saint. Even if the Radiant Warlord burst with power exceeding his rank, the mage army would be able to resist for a few minutes without being defeated.
Since arriving at the Radiant Fort, Lin Yun had been rousing his Magic Arrays to capture the aura of the Radiant Fort. He could faintly feel that there was a wisp of unusual aura coming from the Radiant Fort.
After the Radiant Warlord burst with power, the aura he caught suddenly increased. How could Lin Yun have time to care about anything else? He roused his Magic Arrays with all his strength to deduce the origin of that wisp of aura.
Lin Yun hadn't been able to deduce anything up until the Radiant Warlord's sudden death. He only knew that that wisp of strange aura came from the Radiant Fort.
The source of the Radiant Warlord's power also came from the Radiant Fort. To be more precise, it came from beneath the Radiant Fort. There seemed to be a kind of terrifying power lying dormant there.
Unfortunately, the Radiant Warlord was too weak. Although he was a 9th Rank Sword Saint, there was a huge gap between him and a peak 9th Rank Sword Saint. He vainly tried to use Extraordinary Power, but he didn't even last five minutes before his vitality was exhausted.
Lin Yun had only used the Radiant Warlord to calculate that there was a power lying dormant beneath the Radiant Fort, but he hadn't been able to calculate its exact location. That indistinct aura seemed to be there and not there, making it very difficult to track it.
If only this guy could hold on a little longer and not die so quickly …
Lin Yun inwardly sighed. He truly hoped that the Radiant Warlord wouldn't die so quickly. This was also the reason why he didn't let Anderfa and Reina make a move. The stronger the Radiant Warlord was, the faster he would die.
Lin Yun, Reina, Anderfa, and the puppet … The four of them could display the power of a 9th Rank Archmage, and the strongest, Lin Yun, could already easily defeat some ordinary 9th Rank Archmages.
If this group joined the fight, the Radiant Warlord's life would definitely be extinguished in less than two minutes.
Five minutes had passed, but he still hadn't been able to calculate anything particularly accurate. Lin Yun naturally had a regretful expression.
Wagner, who had made up his mind to follow them, had a strange expression as he looked at Lin Yun's regretful expression, the corner of his mouth twitching.
'Damn, that guy wouldn't think that the Radiant Warlord died too quickly, right?
'No, it must be an illusion, I must be overthinking. Damnit, how could that Radiant Fort be so powerful? Didn't that Radiant Warlord only say that he was an ordinary 9th Rank Sword Saint? Moreover, he only advanced a few years ago, yet he still had such a trump card that could display a wisp of the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse.
'Fortunately, I didn't make a move. If my subordinates hadn't died, I would have died during the final battle. Those people definitely wouldn't have been able to resist that Radiant Warlord for five minutes …'
Wagner had a complicated expression. He felt that he might have been under too much pressure and was hallucinating.
With the Radiant Warlord's sudden death, the rest was easy. All the participating Black Iron Beastmen were eliminated, and Lin Yun led his people into the Radiant Fort.
With the contribution of the Radiant Fort, the points had also been thoroughly converted.
Lin Yun took out his crystal ball and glanced at it. After adding up all the bits and pieces, as well as the contribution of the Radiant Fort, he actually had 430,000 points.
It was at least twice as much as he had expected, but Lin Yun felt that it was normal. After all, the Radiant Fort was a lot more difficult to attack than he had expected. Not only that barrier, but the Radiant Warlord's final burst of power greatly increased the difficulty of attacking the Radiant Fort, and the impact on the entire campaign was far greater than he had expected.
On the other side, Wagner quietly took out his crystal ball to check and discovered that they had only obtained 110,000 points from attacking the Radiant Fortress, which made him feel a bit pained.
Although he had known that destroying that Black Iron Beastman's Artifact would give him a lot of points, he hadn't expected to pay such a huge price.
'If I had known earlier, I would have let Mafa Merlin destroy that Artifact …'
Wagner had a pained expression as he recalled how the George Family hadn't done anything during the attack. All the powerhouses had been killed by the Merlin Family, and they had picked up the bargain. If they hadn't suffered such a huge loss, they might have gotten more than 80% of the points. But the George Family hadn't done anything during the most crucial attack on the Radiant Fort, and the result was completely different.
If not for the large amount of points from destroying that Artifact, they might not have gotten any benefits this time. Now that they still had some points, they could only helplessly watch.
Lin Yun's subordinates, led by Xiuban, were already frantically plundering.
The Black Iron Beastmen's greatest collection, accumulated over decades and centuries, was all in the Radiant Fort. It was far from comparable to the collections of the tribes around the Radiant Fort.
Just all kinds of rare magic ores amounted to several thousand kilograms, and they were all first-rate magic metals that had gone through initial tempering. They could be used after a bit of tempering. This was more than the harvest of the Merlin Family in an entire year.
Apart from that, there were even more gems from some magic metal ore veins. Black Iron Beastmen were natural warriors, and these magic gems were completely useless to them. Apart from looking good and being a collector's item, they didn't have any value.
This was a huge bargain for Lin Yun. So many magic gems were enough for everyone's magic staves to be socketed once.
Wagner's eyes were red. The harvest he had plundered from those tribes wasn't as valuable as a chest of magic gems.
'Damn, since when are magic gems counted in chests? Chests after chests of magic gems … Heavens, Elemental Ambers, Bloodstones …
'There are even five Starry Eyes! How could there be so many of these things that are equivalent to having a mana reserve?'
Ordinary magic gems didn't matter, but if a Starry Eye was socketed into a staff, it would be equivalent to having a mana whirlpool's mana reserve. As long as mana was poured into it in advance, it could be directly used in battle. Even when releasing some High Tier Spells, the mana of the Starry Eyes could be directly used to reduce the casting time by more than half!
Only some of the peak powerhouses of the George Family were qualified to have such a thing. Even he didn't have one, yet there were five here!
The mana stored in the largest Starry Eye was equivalent to the mana of an 8th Rank Archmage!
Apart from these magic gems, there was also a large pile of materials for compounding potions, all of them in baskets.
Moreover, they were all huge frames used by Black Iron Beastmen, and each one was close to two meters tall.
There were no less than ten baskets of all kinds of materials.
Lin Yun was stunned when he saw these materials. The potions compounded with so many materials would be enough for everyone to take a bath.
The Merlin Family was in charge of the Radiant Fort, so the reconstruction was very simple. Apart from the entrance of the Radiant Fort, there was basically nothing that needed to be rebuilt.
The tribes in the surroundings of the Radiant Fort were also very easy to clean up. It only took two days for Kurumu to lead the mage army to clean them up. Lin Yun simply didn't care about these things.
Even the recovery and defense of the Radiant Fort were handled by William.
Lin Yun was like a Lord who didn't care about anything, wandering around the Radiant Fort every day.
Wagner stayed in the Radiant Fort for three days before his eyes reddened and he went to his room, not wanting to come out. Not to mention the points, just the treasures he found were a few dozen times more than the George Family's aura, and there were even some rare materials that were almost extinct in Noscent.
What made it even harder for Wagner to accept was that on the first day he entered the Radiant Fort, he felt the aura of Lin Yun's rank increase. Although he couldn't feel it for a while, Wagner still knew that Lin Yun had increased in rank. But what made Wagner feel powerless was that he still couldn't sense Lin Yun's rank.
Everyone else was busy, but Lin Yun was still aimlessly wandering around the Radiant Fort, leaving his footprints from the central avenue to the most remote corners.
A dozen Mage Eyes were floating around Lin Yun, and there were also two Mage Hands holding quills next to him. A thick stack of paper kept following Lin Yun as he moved.
Those two Mage Hands kept calculating something on the paper, and a large amount of paper floated in the air following Lin Yun. As for Lin Yun, his eyes seemed to have become lifeless. Countless runes were roaming in his eyes, and his Magic Array was also continuously revolving.
