Synthetic Wizard

Wolf Tides Plane, Twilight Valley.

Countless black wolves lay on the ground, spreading like a carpet across the entire valley, extending beyond the far ends of the canyon, covering the mountains and fields, yet surprisingly, all was eerily silent.

Above the canyon, Sherman, Cole, and Attila looked down at the wolf pack, their expressions reflective.

"After so much time, we finally have some results."

"Now the wolf pack should be ready for battle."

After gaining control of the Wolf Tides Plane, the Star Alliance immediately started developing the plane, focusing on opening up secondary magic stone veins and researching Twilight Valley.

The former has already gotten on track, with over fifty large secondary magic stone veins being opened throughout the Wolf Tides Plane, making the annual output of secondary magic stones a major source of income for the Star Alliance.

Progress on the latter, however, has been relatively slow.

When they first took over, Twilight Valley could incubate only forty-five black wolves each day and just one Twilight Wolf a year.

This speed was, of course, far from satisfactory for Sunan.

Therefore, thereafter, Sunan began to research and modify Twilight Valley.

The research and modification of biological nests fall under the field of Biological Transformation, and among the four skills Sunan possesses, Biological Transformation happens to be the lowest level, currently only at level 5.

Fortunately, he also had the means of Cube Fusion.

The entire modification process still used the method of bloodline fusion.

Extracting bloodlines from the massive wolf packs for fusion, and then reinfusing them back into Twilight Valley.

Despite the progress being outrageously slow, over two hundred years of transformation has led to noticeable strengthening of Twilight Valley.

Now, the number of black wolves that Twilight Valley can incubate daily has increased to sixty-two, and the incubation time for a Twilight Wolf has shortened to just over seven months per one.

The increase in incubation speed is not particularly large, but the change in incubation limit is quite significant.

The original Twilight Valley could control a maximum of 434,800 black wolves and 285 Twilight Wolves in its nest.

Beyond this limit, any further wolves incubated would not be under the control of Twilight Valley and would instead threaten it.

However, this limit has now increased to 913,200 black wolves and 602 Twilight Wolves.

More than doubling the original!

This number is already quite astonishing.

It’s roughly equivalent to a Golem Army Group.

Not to mention the 602 Wizard Level Twilight Wolves.

For the Star Alliance’s military strength, it is undoubtedly a powerful supplement!

"It’s a pity the incubation time is still short, the black wolves are at their limit, but the Twilight Wolves are still lacking, now there’s only a bit over 300," Attila said, somewhat ruefully.

"It’s about right," Sherman smiled, "Over 300 Twilight Wolves, plus more than 900,000 black wolves, the role they play is not inferior to two Golem Army Groups, with such a new force, the upcoming battles will go more smoothly."

Pausing, Sherman looked at Attila, inquiring, "By the way, is it really true that the Wisdom Code and Dark Throne are going to war?"

At the mention of this, Attila’s expression turned quite grave, nodding:

"Eight or nine out of ten, yes."

"Dark Throne has allied with Black Rope Tower, Pale Mask, and several other Black Wizard forces. Lately, there have been frequent troop movements, and they’ve secretly sent people to infiltrate the Holy Tree Plane Community to gather intelligence. It’s most likely they’re planning to make a move against the Wisdom Code."

"I heard that Sir Cyril suddenly visited today, presumably for this matter."

Sherman sighed, saying, "Originally thought it would be a small-scale battle, but unexpectedly, it’s escalated to such a situation."

Attila said, "The matter involves a new Plane Community, and no Wizard Influence could let it go. War is the only way to resolve ownership."

At this moment, Cole, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up:

"This might not be a bad thing for the Star Alliance; don’t forget about the capture of the Wizard Tower."

Sherman was stunned for a moment, then burst into a laugh.

"That’s true."

The Star Alliance currently owns eighteen Wizard Towers, seventeen of which are trophies from warfare.

If relying solely on the Star Alliance to build them, it would probably take a thousand years to possess this many Wizard Towers.

From this perspective, war might not be a bad thing for the Star Alliance.

The main point is that the Star Alliance can extract a considerable profit from magic stone trading, allowing them to quickly replenish and recover even if they lose a large number of Golem Puppets and flying fleets in the war.

Even though Sherman still doesn’t know exactly where the Star Alliance gets its endless supply of magic stones.

"If a war really breaks out between Dark Throne and Wisdom Code, our Star Alliance cannot stay out of it."

Sherman gazed distantly into the horizon.

"Looks like we’ll be going into battle soon too."

Cole said flatly, "Joining the war is the only way to earn more Contribution Points; ascending to Second-Level Wizard requires a vast amount of resources. This war couldn’t have come at a better time."

Sherman and Attila were already accustomed to Cole’s aggressive nature and were not surprised by his words, merely shaking their heads with smiles.

"Let’s go, after spending so many days in the Wolf Tides Plane, it’s time to head back, report our work, and take a rest, so we can refresh for the upcoming war."

...

In the reception hall.

Sunan, Lize, and Cyril sat facing each other.

"...Dark Throne comes fiercely this time, allying with Black Rope Tower, Flame Pattern Association, Pale Mask, and a total of seven second- and third-rate Black Wizard forces. Their combined strength cannot be underestimated. If we let them prepare thoroughly before attacking, we will surely be at a disadvantage. In view of this, we have decided to take the initiative to attack, which is also the decision made after discussions with the Wisdom Society!"
