Hearing Richard’s repetition, the faces of several Great Wizards changed slightly. But constrained by strength, they said nothing.
Although qualifications are important among Wizards, it is based on the principle that higher qualifications definitely lead to greater strength. As a Five Rings Great Wizard, Richard was clearly not soone these Four Rings Great Wizards could leverage their qualifications against.
"It seems it’s indeed you," said the Jellyfish Great Wizard calmly, "Many people find your words quite jarring."
"Jarring?"
A hint of a mocking smile appeared on Richard’s face. He glanced at the Four Rings Great Wizards beside him, and under his gaze, the Great Wizards instinctively avoided his eyes.
After looking around, Richard sneered, "If you find the truth jarring, then there’s nothing I can do about it.
Objective facts are not changed by will. A lack of talent is simply a lack of talent, and being inferior is simply being inferior."
The Jellyfish Great Wizard seed to have anticipated Richard’s response. Though he didn’t have a conventional human face, Richard could feel that this unnad Jellyfish Great Wizard was staring at him.
Suddenly, the Jellyfish Great Wizard spoke, "I am the Soul Sea Floating Great Wizard. If we survive this war, perhaps we can be friends."
"Friends?" Richard showed a mildly intrigued smile, "I seem to have offended many Great Wizards. Aren’t you afraid of being ostracized by befriending , Master?"
In this era of war, the connections between Great Wizards are no longer what they used to be. Even acquaintances might not contact each other for hundreds of years.
Great Wizards need to cooperate on the battlefield, providing mutual support.
If one is ostracized at such a ti, it could lead to situations on the battlefield where allies are in trouble, but remain motionless as a mountain.
Even if discovered, the battlefield situation changes rapidly, and support that arrives a few minutes late doesn’t amount to much.
The Soul Sea Floating Great Wizard was silent for a mont, then spoke, "Haven’t you heard my na?"
"Hmm?"
Richard was a bit puzzled. At the right mont, the Clear Frost Great Wizard spoke, "Master Soul Sea Floating is a student of the Soul Crown. I don’t think many fools would ostracize a Crown’s student, especially one from the Soul Crown."
Perhaps so Crowns can’t spy on the mories of Great Wizards, but the Soul Crown is definitely not among them.
Richard heard this and gave an awkward smile. The presence of the Soul School is only slightly more prominent than the Curse School, and he had no interactions with wizards from the Soul School, so he didn’t know much about the Great Wizards of the Soul School.
"My apologies, truly my apologies."
The Soul Sea Floating Great Wizard didn’t mind this, or rather, even if he minded, Richard couldn’t tell.
"I suggest you’d best learn about the high-tier Great Wizards of the various schools. It will be quite helpful on the battlefield."
Soon, the last Great Wizard entered the hall. Along with him was a Working Wizard from the Tower of Truth.
The Working Wizard bowed slightly to the Great Wizards and then began to announce the decisions from the Truth Council.
"Before announcing the orders, the council expresses deep regret for pulling you all out from your rest periods. We no longer have extra strength. If we can’t resist this sudden attack, the flas of war might spread to our holands."
After speaking, the Working Wizard straightened his expression and took out a scroll stamped with the seals of the Five Towers of Truth and the personal seal of the Physique Crown.
"All resting Great Wizards within the Four Rings Truth Tower’s range, proceed to World 2456 for support. All resources will be distributed at the highest level, direct command is the War Zone Command Headquarters."
Having spoken, the Working Wizard bowed slightly.
"Masters, if you need anything, please speak up as soon as possible so we can allocate supplies promptly."
"Eight thousand units of Soul Essence," one Great Wizard spoke. Energy fluctuations around his body were chaotic, and his aura was slightly diminished, revealing that his soul was injured.
"I’m very sorry, Master," the Working Wizard shook his head slightly, "According to the latest resource allocation plan, the maximum Soul Essence allocation for a Four Rings Great Wizard is six thousand units."
"Hmm? Why has it been reduced again?"
For Wizards, creatures who generally undergo spiritual evolution, Soul Essence serves as the best healing agent and enhancer.
In the Alchemy School, Magic Potions effective on Great Wizards commonly include Soul Essence and Life Essence as indispensable ingredients.
Therefore, following the start of the war, all Soul Essence and Life Essence of the Wizard Civilization fell under regulation. Even Great Wizards could only obtain Soul Essence by applying to the council.
The Working Wizard wore an apologetic expression.
"In such matters, a small figure like myself doesn’t know much. But this is how the resource allocation stands, we can only provide you with six thousand units of Soul Essence."
"Six thousand is six thousand then. I’ll add five bottles of Master-level Soul Recovery Magic Potion. These allocations haven’t been cut too, right?"
"They have not."
The Working Wizard nodded slightly, noted down the Great Wizard’s needs, and then looked towards the other Great Wizards.
The Great Wizards mostly had gloomy expressions, the reduced resource allocation left them sowhat displeased.
This wasn’t the first ti allocation had been cut. At the start of the war, the Soul Essence allocation for a Four Rings Great Wizard was as much as twelve thousand units.
"I also want six thousand units of Soul Essence, and five bottles of Master-level Soul Recovery Magic Potion," said the Mummy Great Wizard.
"Sa for ."
"I’ll take the sa as well."
The reason most of these Great Wizards returned to the rear for rest was due to severe injuries sustained on the frontlines. As they returned to the front, items that could rapidly heal them were naturally their first choice.
Moreover, for these senior wizards, among the supplies provided by the Tower of Truth, only such items were of any use to them.
Old Wizards all possess their own exclusive Magic Equipnt; those mass-produced goods offered by the Tower of Truth are not popular among them.
At most, they take a few consumables as supplents.
Richard has little demand for resource allocation, but he does have so interest in the Master-level Soul Recovery Magic Potion.
This type of Magic Potion that affects Great Wizards is no longer sothing a Magic Potion Machine can produce. Therefore, these Magic Potions must still retain the craftsmanship of Great Wizards.
Although this craftsmanship is not useful for combat, having more skills is always beneficial.
In addition, Richard requested several single-use items. Single-use spells like Great Fragntation Skill and Evil Demon Imprisonnt Technique scrolls can provide him with assistance in combat while also offering him a bit of knowledge.
The Working Wizard noted the Great Wizard’s requirents, and soon, their items were delivered.
Richard looked over his scrolls and Magic Potions, and upon a gentle touch, the Miracle Furnace provided information.
[Material: Master-level Soul Recovery Magic Potion]
[Refinable Information: Master-level Soul Recovery Magic Potion formula]
[Refining Consumption: 5 spiritual power]
[Refinable Skill: Master-level Alchemy Operation (moderately incomplete)]
[Refining Consumption: 10 spiritual power]
...
[Material: Refined Great Fragntation Skill scroll]
[Refinable Information: Great Fragntation Skill Rune Model]
[Refining Consumption: 15 spiritual power]
[Refinable Skill: Master-level Rune Engraving (slightly incomplete)]
[Refining Consumption: 10 spiritual power]
...
"Indeed, at this node, all the allocated items are premium."
Seeing the information provided by the Miracle Furnace, Richard felt a surge of joy. If technology below Great Wizard has little significance for collection, then the skills and knowledge of these Great Wizards are absolutely worthwhile for Richard to gather.
The reason being, these skills are accumulated by these Great Wizards over thousands if not tens of thousands of years, already completing the process of quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes.
Even if all these Wizards were reduced to the level of Three Rings Wizards, their skills could still easily surpass that of ordinary Three Rings Wizards.
"Perhaps I can take this opportunity to acquire more things."
Richard’s mind began to expand with possibilities; even World Lord Level creatures would perish on such a battlefield. The corpses of these beings might be worthless to others, but to Richard, he wasn’t sure how many great treasures he could extract from them.
Whether it’s a Great Wizard or the King of Mayfly, the rules, skills, and knowledge on them are priceless treasures.
However, Richard quickly suppressed this idea deep in his heart.
To think about battlefield gains before even reaching the battlefield is typical rookie behavior.
The first goal on the battlefield is always survival; only by staying alive can you gain anything.
Once the allocation of items was completed, the Great Wizards wasted no ti. They gulped down the Soul Essence and Magic Potion before grabbing the world data and battlefield information from the Working Wizard, and with remarkable efficiency, they rushed to the battlefield.
...
Rumble...
The thunderous explosion echoed on the ground like the unique rules of the world.
Vast mountains were hollowed out, and mountain ranges stretching for thousands of kiloters were transford into giant fortresses, while vast lands were dotted with fortress clusters like sea sand.
The Decomposition Cannon powered by the Floating City Power Furnace, like the gaze of a God of destruction, turned everything it touched into free Elents.
In the Heavenly Vault, small Floating Cities and airborne corps wandered like flocks of birds.
Destructive witchcraft spewed from them, resembling a flock of steel-made Death Birds, leaving only death in their wake.
Yet even such defenses wavered in the face of the Insect Tide that filled mountains and seas.
Cloud-like swarms attacked from the sky, tide-like swarms advanced from the ground, and even underground, countless Mayfly Subspecies surged toward the Wizard’s defense line.
The Great Wizards and the King of Mayfly occasionally appeared, but their battlefield was generally behind the curtains.
Apart from avoiding harm to their own armies, the more crucial point is that both armies possess the capability to directly confront Level 4 and even Level 5 creatures.
Whether it’s the Wizard’s Decomposition Cannon or the Galaxy Mayfly’s group flashes, they are sufficient to cause Level 4 creatures great suffering.
The battlefield width is aningless in this world because every inch of land is the battlefield.
"Phew, this world truly makes one’s Bloodline boil."
Walking out of the Teleportation Gate, Richard looks at this world dyed red by the flas of war and remarks.
