Chapter 441 - 258: The Invasion War Becomes a Defense War (Part 2)
The war heated up in an instant!
Wizard Towers, whether in attack or defense, far surpass Flying Demon Ships.
Each Wizard Tower often with one attack can destroy two to three Demon Ships.
As a medium-sized Wizard Tower, the Dusk Wizard Tower can destroy seven to eight Demon Ships in one strike.
In contrast, the spell rays and magic energy shells fired by the Flying Demon Ships are without exception blocked by the energy fields of the Wizard Towers.
Though seemingly at a disadvantage, not a single Flying Demon Ship retreated, bravely encircling the Wizard Towers and showering them with firepower without fear.
Though the damage is weak, the frequency is overwhelming.
Soon, around a heavily targeted small Wizard Tower, the energy field began to shrink and become unstable.
"Sir, the energy field durability of the Grey Claw Wizard Tower is less than 15%!"
An ominous Wizard spoke solemnly.
Youxi’s eye twitched slightly.
"Underestimated these playthings, they do have some effect. Send orders to the Grey Claw Wizard Tower to retreat and repair its energy field!"
"Yes, sir!"
But before Grey Claw Wizard Tower could execute the order and retreat, a crack suddenly split open in the void hundreds of meters away, and a Wizard Tower flew out from it.
The moment it appeared, the top of the Wizard Tower lit up with a blinding light.
The next moment, numerous spell rays shot out, hitting the Grey Claw Wizard Tower with a boom!
The number of spell rays far exceeded any Wizard Tower on site, even more than the Dusk Wizard Tower.
Just one strike, the energy field of the Grey Claw Wizard Tower, already near collapse, was instantly broken, and the spell rays penetrated the Wizard Tower, leaving countless shocking holes!
Boom!
The Grey Claw Wizard Tower emitted waves of smoke mixed with sparks, involuntarily plummeting towards the ground.
"Damn it!"
Youxi was both angry and shocked.
Angry that the enemy chose the moment when the Grey Claw Wizard Tower was most vulnerable to attack.
Shocked at the strength of the opponent’s Wizard Tower’s attack!
Even though the energy field durability of the Grey Claw Wizard Tower was less than 15%, it shouldn’t have fallen in just one attack.
And what’s with the number of spell rays?
How many Spell Towers are installed on that Wizard Tower?
On the other side, Cyril was also taken aback.
"The power of this Spell Tower is too strong!"
Maisy’s eyes gleamed, "Three hundred Spell Towers, and they’re modified. With so many Spell Towers, I wonder if the energy can sustain it?"
In the Dusk Wizard Tower, Youxi came to his senses and issued a command with a grim face.
"Focus fire on that Wizard Tower, destroy it first!"
Thus, the four Wizard Towers redirected their firepower to target the Starlight Wizard Tower.
In an instant, countless spell rays hit the Starlight Wizard Tower, but it was like a mud bull entering the sea, with no response.
Instead, the rays fired back by the Starlight Wizard Tower directly reduced the energy field durability of the Blood Fang Wizard Tower by over 20%!
"Damn, the firepower of this Wizard Tower is definitely not just small-scale; it must have reached medium-scale!"
"Equipping so many Spell Towers, the Wizard Tower’s builder must be crazy!"
"Moreover, its energy field seems beyond small-scale."
"Calm down, with this firepower density, even a medium-sized Wizard Tower’s energy will soon be exhausted!"
Youxi’s words reassured everyone, then he coldly ordered.
"Blood Fang, Mist Howl, and Night Shadow, activate the Dissociation Cannon, Tower Spirit 1, activate the Plasma Cannon; I want to see how long you can withstand it!"
With Youxi’s orders, the four Wizard Towers launched their strongest firepower, three thick pale-grey rays and one azure lightning simultaneously hitting the Starlight Wizard Tower!
Yet the result was no different from before!
The Starlight Wizard Tower blocked all attacks unscathed, merely causing slight ripples on its surface.
"!!!"
Witnessing this, Youxi and others were speechless, eyes wide in shock.
The spectating Cyril gasped and quickly realized, "A large-scale Maze Lock Protective Energy Field! No, even at a large-scale, it shouldn’t have blocked firepower from one medium and three small Wizard Towers so easily!"
"Exactly." Maisy stared at the Starlight Wizard Tower with piercing eyes, a hint of admiration in her gaze, "Its energy field has been modified, with defense even surpassing large-scale!"
Cyril was stunned for a while, before regaining his senses, unable to hide the amazement on his face.
The Wizard Tower of the Star Alliance had evidently reached a medium-sized level, rather than the small-scale level noted in intelligence reports. It was likely upgraded not long ago.
In terms of defense, it far exceeded even large Wizard Towers!
Thanks to the Maze Lock Protective Energy Field, this Wizard Tower was even capable of contending with large Wizard Towers!
However, Cyril soon discovered that the Starlight Wizard Tower was not only superior in defense but also in energy reserves!
A normal medium-sized Wizard Tower, equipped with 300 Spell Towers and running at full firepower, would exhaust its energy after two or three full salvos at most.
A large Wizard Tower could hold out a bit longer, but seven or eight full salvos would be its limit.
Yet the Starlight Wizard Tower fired ten volleys in succession, with no sign of its energy reserves running low!
The energy reserves were clearly far beyond those of a large Wizard Tower!
"Even the Elemental Pool has been enhanced beyond the large scale..."
Cyril was left speechless in amazement.
Considering the unique environment of the Starlight Continent, Sunan had truly outdone himself by constructing such a Wizard Tower.
Previously, when they destroyed the Magic Ship, the four Wizard Towers of the Dark Throne had already consumed a substantial amount of energy. Thus, not long after starting the siege on the Starlight Wizard Tower, the initially fierce concentrated firepower diminished by several levels.
Meanwhile, the firepower intensity of the Starlight Wizard Tower showed no sign of decline.
At the same time, the surrounding surviving Flying Demon Ships continued to bomb the four Wizard Towers with firepower.
Soon after, following the Grey Claw Wizard Tower, the energy field of the Blood Fang Wizard Tower was breached and was left battered and smoking from a salvo from the Starlight Wizard Tower, crashing to the ground.
Witnessing this, the wizards of the Dark Throne finally began to panic.
"My lord, what should we do?" They all turned towards Youxi.
Youxi’s face was gloomy, grinding his teeth, almost to the point of breaking them.
Seeing this, he no longer misunderstood that the defense and energy reserves of this Star Alliance Wizard Tower were far superior to a medium-sized level.
Originally, he thought that the Star Alliance possessed at most only a small Wizard Tower, but in reality, it was a reinforced medium-sized Wizard Tower.
It even surpassed the Dusk Wizard Tower he had painstakingly built with immeasurable resources!
This was entirely beyond his expectations!
Youxi cast his gaze elsewhere.
Under the siege of more than double the Wizard-level Puppets, the Dusk Wolf suffered heavy casualties, likely facing total annihilation soon.
Below on the battlefield, the Black Wolf was already at a disadvantage, and from nowhere appeared over a dozen Giant Dragons, hovering in the sky, furiously exhaling Dragon Breath, slaughtering the Black Wolves mercilessly.
Under such a fierce offensive, the wolf pack was naturally in constant retreat.
Almost every minute, the battle line was pushed relentlessly towards the forest.
It was foreseeable that at this rate, the Black Wolf pack would soon be pushed back into the Wolf Tide Dimension.
Then, the invasion would reverse, becoming a counterattack by the Starlight Continent against the Wolf Tide Dimension!
At this moment, they were undoubtedly completely at a disadvantage.
Should they retreat?
This thought flashed in Youxi’s mind, and he was plunged into intense inner turmoil.
Having fought hard for the chance to become a Robe Wizard, to give up here would result in enormous losses, and even Master Wood would be incredibly disappointed in him, making the future hope of becoming a Robe Wizard appear very bleak.
Just as Youxi was hesitating, a sudden loud boom reached his ears — the Mist Howl Wizard Tower was also struck down by the Starlight Wizard Tower!
Of the five Wizard Towers, only two remained!
"My lord!"
The crowd of wizards was thrown into panic and dismay.
Youxi took a deep breath, hesitated no more, and gritted his teeth harshly, saying:
"Retreat!"
In those two short words, it was as if they were squeezed out between clenched teeth.
In the high sky, the remaining Dusk Wolves went berserk, abandoning the Master-Touch Puppets and Secret Puppet girls, turning around and charging towards the Starlight Wizard Tower.
Seeing this, Cyril was slightly taken aback, only realizing what was happening when he saw the Dusk Wizard Tower and Night Shadow Wizard Tower retreating.
"Youxi is fleeing!"
Buzz!
The Starlight Wizard Tower shot out a Spell Ray, sweeping the road clear of the Dusk Wolves, and without hesitation pursued the Dusk and Night Shadow Wizard Towers.
Watching this, Maisy displayed a faint smile on her face.
The outcome of the war was decided!
The invasion battle was won by the Star Alliance!
But it wasn’t over yet, as another battle was about to begin — the defense of the Wolf Tide Dimension!
