The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 289: The First Piece of Flesh

After being hit by multiple rounds of artillery fire, the energy field durability of the large Wizard Tower where Luke was located had already dropped below 80%.

So, under the attack of the Pulse Cannon III, it naturally collapsed in one strike.

Su Nan was not surprised by this.

However, Luke and the others were not thinking the same way.

What they saw before them completely exceeded their expectations!

They had never seen any Wizard Tower's long-range firepower capable of destroying the energy field of a large Wizard Tower in one hit!

The scene before them felt surreal, as if they were in a dream!

"What was that ray just now?"

"That was a pulse ray, right? But why was its power so strong?"

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?"

The group snapped back to reality, completely panicked.

Luke, too, was in a state of panic, never imagining that Star Alliance had such a hidden trump card.

Now that the energy field had collapsed, if another hit landed, wouldn't the Wizard Tower be destroyed?

Just as if to confirm Luke's thoughts, the Starshine Wizard Tower in the distance again emitted a dazzling light, and in the next moment, another thick pulse ray shot through the air!

Seeing this, Luke and the others' faces immediately changed drastically.

Boom!

The pulse ray effortlessly pierced through the Wizard Tower, and the violent surge of energy exploded, instantly destroying the entire energy transmission pipeline of the Wizard Tower. The tower hummed as it fell, smoking, crashing to the ground.

The wizards and wizard apprentices inside the Wizard Tower immediately scattered like birds and beasts, flying out of the tower.

Boom!

The Wizard Tower fell from the sky, crashing into the ground behind the Ulan City army. Many golem puppets and Fire Fang Knights, unable to dodge in time, were instantly killed, and a massive cloud of dust rose.

Looking at the ruined Wizard Tower, Luke felt like his heart was bleeding.

This was his Wizard Tower!

It had been reduced to this, and even if it could be repaired, the cost would be substantial!

The problem was, he might not even have the chance to repair the Wizard Tower.

A violent wave of energy particles erupted again.

Luke's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the Starshine Wizard Tower in the distance, which had just fired another pulse ray.

This time, the target was a medium-sized Wizard Tower.

The pulse ray almost effortlessly shattered the energy field, piercing through the tower.

In the blink of an eye, another destroyed Wizard Tower appeared on the battlefield!

Since advancing to the rank of wizard, Luke had never seen this type of combat.

In battles between Wizard Towers, it was always a matter of exchanging firepower, deploying golem armies to fight, and slogging through a long battle until one side ran out of energy or the energy field's durability reached zero, determining the victor.

Even when a large Wizard Tower fought against a small one, it was impossible to destroy the smaller tower with just two hits!

The firepower exhibited by the Starshine Wizard Tower was beyond anything Luke had imagined!

Seeing that Star Alliance's war creations were quickly closing in, and surrounding wizards and wizard-grade golems were also gathering, Luke knew the situation was dire.

His expression changed, and after a brief moment of indecision, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Retreat!"

No matter what, he could not afford to lose the remaining thirteen Wizard Towers here, or they would be completely powerless to fight back.

The other wizards also understood this logic. Although they were frustrated and unwilling, they followed the order.

Soon, the Black Sotar Wizard Towers began to retreat.

The ground forces in Ulan City also started pulling back.

They were planning to give up Ulan City entirely!

"These guys are quite decisive," Su Nan commented, somewhat surprised by their swift retreat.

He sneered and, after a symbolic pursuit from his forces, he ordered a ceasefire.

After three pulse rays, the Starshine Wizard Tower could no longer continue fighting.

With only the remaining war creations, even if they could capture the Ulan City Wizard Tower, it would come at a heavy cost, which was not in Star Alliance's best interest.

Since they had already established an advantage, it was better to wait for the Starshine Wizard Tower to recharge, then gradually wear down Black Sotar's war creations.

After the Wizard Towers and most of the ground forces had retreated, Ulan City quickly fell into Star Alliance's hands.

The Star Alliance army took over Ulan City and began mopping up the remaining enemy forces inside.

Looking at the towering city below, everyone in Star Alliance was a bit dazed.

Did we just win?

The speed at which the war ended left everyone almost unable to comprehend.

"What was that just now? The Pulse Cannon?" Fei Laming still had an astonished look on his face.

Shaman, Atiril, Core, and Tagana all shared the same stunned expression.

Those three pulse rays, let alone Black Sotar, even they were shocked.

When Su Nan had ordered the attack on Ulan City earlier, they were all full of doubts about the purpose of the move, never expecting that the Starshine Wizard Tower would have such terrifying firepower.

"It must be the new Pulse Cannon developed by the master," Shaman said after some thought.

Everyone nodded in agreement. The modifications to the Starshine Wizard Tower were famous within Star Alliance, surpassing even large Wizard Towers.

But no one had expected such an incredible modification.

Even though the energy field durability of the Wizard Tower had already been worn down, a single shot destroyed the energy field in an instant. The power was simply terrifying!

How much energy did that consume?

How did the Starshine Wizard Tower handle the energy consumption?

The more they thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed, and the more their respect for Su Nan grew.

Inside the Starshine Wizard Tower.

Su Nan and Lize looked down at the black city below.

Gale Fortress, among the many towns in the occupied area, was one of the largest, but compared to Ulan City, it seemed small.

This majestic city, built by wizards, surpassed Gale Fortress in terms of both area and defense systems.

Moreover, its geographical position was highly advantageous, located right at the center of the Ulan dimension, on a vital node of the earth's veins.

From Ulan City, it was able to radiate influence across the entire Ulan dimension, giving them an edge in strategy.

"Let's move the command center here," Su Nan said. "From now on, Ulan City will be our base."

Lize nodded slightly. "This is indeed a good place."

After a pause, she turned her keen eyes to Su Nan and asked, "Can we ramp up the offensive now?"

Su Nan smiled and nodded, then waved his hand, causing a full-scale map of Ulan dimension's terrain to appear in front of him.

The war today had undoubtedly been a turning point in changing the situation.

In the past, when Star Alliance attacked towns, they had to worry about Black Sotar's Wizard Towers and Black Sotar giant warships, which made their moves cautious and restrained.

But from now on, Star Alliance had the confidence to overpower Ulan's stationed forces with their war creations, and they no longer had to worry. They could freely take over Ulan's native towns.

Now, it was the enemy's Wizard Towers that dared not engage in direct combat.

Otherwise, as soon as they appeared, they would face the full force of the Starshine Wizard Tower's deadly assault!

"Repair the two Wizard Towers we captured and add them to the exchange list once upgraded," Su Nan instructed.

Lize acknowledged.

The introduction of the "advance payment installment" policy allowed Star Alliance to quickly increase the number of wizards able to exchange for Wizard Towers.

With the outbreak of war, wizards had more opportunities to earn contribution points, and a significant amount had accumulated over the course of the war.

At this point, Star Alliance had no shortage of wizards eager to exchange for Wizard Towers. As soon as a Wizard Tower appeared on the exchange list, it was immediately snapped up, with no concerns about it being unsold.

Once the two captured Wizard Towers were repaired and in use, Star Alliance's number of Wizard Towers in Ulan would increase to sixteen, including three large Wizard Towers.

The combat power of their war creations would increase substantially.

In contrast, Black Sotar's Wizard Towers in Ulan were now reduced to thirteen.

The balance of war creation strength had completely reversed.

Even without counting the Starshine Wizard Tower, Star Alliance, with fifteen Wizard Towers, over forty Starry Fortresses, and thousands of magic ships, now outmatched Ulan's stationed forces in terms of war creation power.

And as time passed, the gap in strength would only grow wider.

Unless Black Sotar sent reinforcements into Ulan, the situation where Ulan's stationed forces were at a disadvantage was already set.

However, Lize wasn't worried in the slightest.

Star Alliance and the Ten Thousand-headed Bird had kept an open line of communication throughout the war, always staying updated on each other's battles.

With Star Alliance tying up some of Black Sotar's forces, Ten Thousand-headed Bird had been going back and forth with Black Sotar.

While Star Alliance might not have gained the upper hand, they were certainly able to prevent Black Sotar from sending reinforcements to Ulan.

As for other black wizard factions, they were embroiled in fierce battles with the Wisdom Codex's affiliated organizations, and they couldn't spare forces to support Black Sotar.

Even if they could, Lize didn't believe that the self-interested black wizard factions would think of assisting their allies.

If there was any unexpected twist, it would only be from the West Ge and Manro dimensions.

If Ulan faced a critical situation, these two dimensions might send reinforcements to support Ulan at all costs.

However, even in that case, Lize didn't see it as necessarily bad for Star Alliance.

If they could pull some of the forces from West Ge and Manro into Ulan, it would be easier to defeat them later on.

Thinking back to when Su Nan had initially expressed his intention to capture Ulan, Lize couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

Back then, although she supported Su Nan's plan, deep down, she thought he was being overly optimistic.

How could capturing Ulan be easy?

But now it seemed that Star Alliance had a very real chance of achieving this goal.

In the end, Su Nan had never disappointed anyone.

The simplified Elemental Furnace could hold more energy, but it would take longer to fully charge.

The remaining 90% of the energy gap would take almost half a month to fill.

Fortunately, Ulan's stationed forces had been scared witless, and they probably wouldn't dare send out their Wizard Towers in front of Star Alliance anytime soon.

Back in the laboratory, Su Nan returned to his work.

This war proved the strength of the Pulse Cannon III, and it also showed the importance of firepower in direct combat.

Su Nan had originally planned to continue upgrading the other facilities of the Starshine Wizard Tower, but he changed his mind.

Compared to regular Wizard Towers, the Starshine Wizard Tower was already overwhelming. Even if he upgraded other facilities, the changes would be minimal.

On the other hand, upgrading the combat power of Star Alliance's other Wizard Towers would have an immediate effect on boosting the overall strength of their war creations.

This approach was clearly more effective in the short term.

As for upgrading the Starshine Wizard Tower, that could wait until after the wizard civil war, when he could slowly improve it.

In fact, by that time, if he were to be promoted to True Spirit Wizard, he might even begin preparations to build his own floating city.

After a brief thought, Su Nan quickly made up his mind.

"First, reinforce Star Alliance's other Wizard Towers!"

"First, the Elemental Pool. To upgrade other facilities, we must first increase energy supply."

"I can synthesize reinforced versions of various levels of Elemental Pools and add them to the exchange list."

"Also, the Maze Lock Protection Energy Field devices and various second- and third-level cannons."

With the decision made, Su Nan immediately put it into action.

The basic facilities could be manufactured by the other wizards, and he only had to handle the synthesis.

Thus, the plan progressed quickly, and not long after, the exchange list had added a batch of upgraded Elemental Pools, Maze Lock Protection Energy Fields, and cannons.

Most wizards didn't want to leave the modification of their Wizard Towers to others, even when the towers were captured. They preferred to modify them themselves to avoid leaving any backdoors.

However, with facilities from their own faction, there was no such concern.

As soon as these upgraded facilities appeared, they were immediately exchanged.

Su Nan also took the time to personally upgrade Lize's Wizard Tower.

After the Starshine Wizard Tower, Lize's Wizard Tower became Star Alliance's

second tower exceeding the large level.

Time passed, and six months went by in the blink of an eye.

With no need to worry about Black Sotar's Wizard Towers and Black Sotar giant warships, the ground forces' pace of advance significantly increased.

In just half a year, Star Alliance's occupied territory expanded by more than twice its original size.

During this period, Black Sotar's Wizard Towers did try to intervene, but after being defeated twice, losing one large Wizard Tower and three medium Wizard Towers, they pulled back and stopped appearing.

In the year 2273 of the Star Light Calendar, Star Alliance launched a surprise attack on the capital of the North Empire, killing hundreds of royal family members, including the emperor, and the capital fell.

By 2275 of the Star Light Calendar, Star Alliance had occupied half of the Ulan dimension.

Facing Star Alliance's growing strength, Ulan's stationed forces were no match. Every time they clashed, they were pushed back.

In 2276 of the Star Light Calendar, when Star Alliance attacked Amber City, one of Ulan dimension's large towns, reinforcements from West Ge and Manro appeared.

Twelve Wizard Towers and forty-two Black Sotar giant warships attacked Star Alliance's army from both the front and rear.

However, after the upgrades, Star Alliance's Wizard Towers were no longer what they used to be.

After a fierce battle, Luke, the leader of Ulan, was killed, and Black Sotar's war creations were completely wiped out.

West Ge and Manro suffered crushing defeats, with only five Wizard Towers escaping in disgrace.

Star Alliance achieved a great victory!

After this battle, Star Alliance's offensive was unstoppable.

Wherever Star Alliance's forces went, the native towns either surrendered at the sight of them or fought to the death, only to have their city gates blasted open by Wizard Towers and fall within a day.

Almost every other day, the territory controlled by Star Alliance expanded a ring.

In 2278 of the Star Light Calendar, the last town in Ulan dimension fell into Star Alliance's hands, marking the complete control of the entire dimension by Star Alliance!

In just eight years of war, while many wizard factions were still locked in a stalemate, Star Alliance took the lead and captured its first dimension, taking a hefty chunk out of Black Sotar's power.
