The City in the Sky's huge floating city was their greatest masterpiece in the field of arrays. Countless floating fortresses and war fortresses were the City in the Sky's war weapons.
This kind of thing could only be accomplished with a formidable array.
Most of the mages in the City in the Sky had some knowledge of arrays. Even when the City in the Sky nurtured apprentices, their talent in the field of arrays was one of the most important factors.
The people recruited from the outside were basically alchemists specializing in arrays. The mages almost never looked for people from the outside, they were all nurtured by themselves.
"Twenty years ago, the City in the Sky found a new plane. It was said that it was a small Wind Plane with a very powerful Heaven Rank Wind Elemental Overlord inside. It made the City in the Sky suffer a lot of losses.
Moreover, even a Heaven Mage of the same rank would find it very difficult to kill that Wind Elemental Overlord in that plane. The City in the Sky's development of that plane had been unable to continue, and they kept suffering losses instead.
"Ultimately, in a fit of anger, they gathered a large number of alchemists specializing in arrays and used their City in the Sky as a foundation. They spent a year to set up a super array formation and directly extracted the power of that plane to supply the City in the Sky with energy.
"The power of that small Wind Elemental Plane was continuously extracted, and over twenty years, that plane's power had fallen by a few levels. That Heaven Rank Elemental Overlord's rank had fallen by three ranks.
"Based on that speed, that plane would thoroughly collapse after a few decades. Moreover, with that kind of energy backing it, the City in the Sky could display even more power.
"Their strength in the field of arrays has also reached the peak of the Odin Kingdom, it is very frightening.
"If you meet the City in the Sky's floating fortresses in the Raging Flame Battlefield, it would be best not to clash with them …"
Joy explained the details of the City in the Sky, especially some of the secrets of the City in the Sky, which inwardly startled Lin Yun.
Using an array to forcibly extract the power of a plane, even if it took countless alchemists and a year, was enough to explain the problem.
Although this method couldn't compare to a Peak Heaven Rank powerhouse like Idu, as a force that couldn't be considered a first-rate force of the Odin Kingdom, it was enough to show how high their attainments in the field of arrays were.
Joy and Hören both knew how dangerous this trip to the Raging Flame Battlefield would be. Not to mention the harvest, they would have to face two powerful enemies, the Raging Flame Beastmen and the Odin Kingdom.
But he couldn't not go to the Raging Flame Battlefield. If he couldn't obtain any benefits, he would be one step closer to failure.
After handing over some matters regarding the fort, Lin Yun led his subordinates to follow Harren and Jouyi.
The entrance to the Raging Flame Battlefield was in the most desolate Sea of Death of the Raging Flame Plane.
It was called a sea, but there wasn't a single drop of water. It was a boundless desert with no resources, and the environment was very vile.
During the day, the temperature could directly cook an egg on the sand. It was hotter than noon on the hottest summer day in the Raging Flame Plane. At night, it would become colder than the coldest winter, and the wind would cut like knives.
Even with the constitution of the Black Iron Beastmen, they could freeze to death at night in the Sea of Death.
Thus, no one occupied this place. It was desolate and full of danger. If not for the entrance to the Raging Flame Battlefield being here, no one would come here.
It was rumored that because the Raging Flame Battlefield was attached to the Raging Flame Plane and absorbed the power of the Raging Flame Plane, it formed the barren Sea of Death. But no one was sure about this.
By the time Hören and Joy led Lin Yun here, the forces of the Odin Kingdom had all arrived, and some powerhouses of the Black Tower and the Cloud Tower had also arrived ahead of time.
The group was very scattered, and the Odin Kingdom and the Andalusia Kingdom were clearly separated.
After arriving, Hören took the initiative to introduce the people here to Lin Yun.
"Our Andalusia Kingdom only has four forces. Apart from the royal family led by Kensei, there are only three of us.
"The six forces on the other side are the six forces of the Odin Kingdom.
"Do you see those tents with violet flower symbols? Those are the people of the Odin Kingdom's royal family. Their strength is difficult to estimate, because they only dispatched the Royal Guards when attacking the Beastmen's fort. Only two 9th Rank Archmages made a move, and it is said that the one who came is a prince of the Odin Kingdom's royal family.
"But no one dares to look down on them. The Odin Kingdom's royal family obtained the treasures left behind by the 3rd Dynasty. No one knows what trump cards they have, especially the members of the royal family. Almost all of them have formidable life-saving cards."
Lin Yun looked in the distance and saw a few large tents covered in runes. Not only did they have formidable defensive abilities, but they also isolated all probing spells. The largest tent had a wisp of spatial fluctuations, so it wasn't as simple as a tent.
Around the tent stood warriors in full armor. Even their eyes were covered by the armor, making them look like silver statues.
After saying that, Hören pointed at a group of mages wearing dark red robes not far from the Odin Kingdom's tent.
"Those guys that are distorting the air are from the Burning Tower. They are currently in 1st place on the scoreboard and are most proficient in fire spells. They have all kinds of fire variant spells. Most of the forts they attacked were directly burned to ashes. There weren't many Beastman slaves left, they were all burned to ashes in the battle.
"Their explosive power far surpasses other forces, and their mages are most proficient in fighting. Almost all mages are violent fighters, and they are one of the few battle-loving forces."
Then, he pointed at a group of mages wearing loose gray robes that covered their heads. Almost all of them had their mouths covered, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.
They looked like a group of ordinary believers on a pilgrimage, but the people in the surroundings were staying far away from them.
Hören's tone was filled with fear and vigilance.
"These are the people of the Quicksand Tower. Although it is rumored that their fighting style is highly dependent on the environment, anyone who thinks that will die a horrible death.
"The founder of the Quicksand Tower is known as the God of the Earth. As long as he stands on the earth, he is invincible. As long as he casts a spell, the surrounding environment will thoroughly change and turn into a sea of sand. Even mountain peaks will collapse and turn into endless quicksand.
"This place is full of desert and the power displayed by the Quicksand Tower's mages would increase by at least one rank.
"Unless it is a Heaven Mage with the Law of Earth as their foundation, ordinary Heaven Mages might not be able to kill a 9th Rank Archmage of the Quicksand Tower.
"And 9th Rank Archmages of the same rank would only be crushed by the Quicksand Tower's mages in this environment."
He once again pointed at the dozen floating fortresses in the distance. Needless to say, Lin Yun knew that those were the people of the City in the Sky.
"Those are the people of the City in the Sky. Their people are cracking the Planar Path. I already introduced the City in the Sky to you before. Apart from the Odin Kingdom's royal family, these three forces are the strongest. The Burning Tower, the Quicksand Tower, and the City in the Sky. Apart from the Heaven Rank powerhouses, their original leaders are all a bit stronger than me and Sir Joy.
"Extraordinary power can't appear in the Raging Flame Battlefield, so the biggest enemies this time are them."
After saying that, Hören pointed at a group of very rich mages on the other side. Their robes, magic staves, rings, necklaces, and other Magic Tools were all of high quality.
Most importantly, they weren't just a few, but all of them were armed to the teeth with Magic Tools.
"This is the Henry Family. Their family has a lot of properties in the Odin Kingdom and occupies no less than a dozen planes. They can be said to be a wealthy family. Their wealth can completely compare to some of the veteran forces of the Odin Kingdom.
"After all, veteran forces have to spend countless years to accumulate wealth, while this Henry Family has only risen for a millennium, yet they have accumulated a terrifying amount of wealth.
Moreover, the Henry Family's bloodline wasn't very vigorous, and they had far fewer members than other families. Thus, every mage of the Henry Family could obtain a considerable amount of resources. Almost every Archmage could obtain precious materials to forge a tailor-made True Spirit Magic Tool.
"You have to be careful when fighting them. An ordinary Archmage might have a few True Spirit Magic Tools, and they might even have matured Magic Tool Incarnations!"
Lin Yun couldn't help laughing. The ancestor of this family was definitely the reincarnation of a Golden Dragon. Their ability to accumulate wealth was comparable to a God's.
An ordinary Archmage of a Family could take out a few True Spirit Magic Tools with matured Magic Tool Incarnations.
'So rich …'
Hören then pointed at the last force. They were all wearing dark robes, and the light seemed to have become very dusky.
At noon, the scorching sun of the Ocean of Death could dry a person in an hour. However, it seemed like dusk had already arrived in the area where they were. Dozens of meters of land seemed to be covered in the shadows of the night.
"This is the Shadow Tower. Although their strength can't compare to the Burning Tower, the Quicksand Tower, or the City in the Sky, they are the force we should be most careful of. They aren't very popular in the Odin Kingdom and are rejected by many forces. They are called thieves among mages, assassins hiding in the shadows. They are very loathsome.
