The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 283: A Unique Advantage

Wolf Tide Dimension, Valley of Dusk.

The valley was completely covered with black wolves, stretching all the way to the farthest reaches of the canyon like a carpet, seemingly endless. Yet, it was eerily quiet.

Above the canyon, Xieman, Corey, and Atiel looked down at the massive wolf pack, their expressions filled with emotion.

"After all this time, we've finally achieved some results."

"Now the wolves should be ready for battle."

After taking control of the Wolf Tide Dimension, the Star Alliance immediately set to work developing the dimension, primarily focusing on opening up secondary magic stone veins and studying the Valley of Dusk.

The former had already entered full swing, with over fifty large secondary magic stone veins established, producing a substantial yearly output that had become a significant source of income for the Star Alliance.

However, progress in the latter was relatively slow.

When they first took control, the Valley of Dusk could only hatch 45 black wolves a day, and only one Dusk Wolf per year. This speed was far from satisfactory to Su Nan.

So, after that, Su Nan began to research and modify the Valley of Dusk.

The modification of biological nests fell under the category of biological enhancement, which happened to be the skill with the lowest level in Su Nan's repertoire of four major skills, currently at level 5.

Fortunately, he also had the method of Cube Synthesis at his disposal.

The entire modification process still relied on the method of bloodline fusion.

Bloodlines were extracted from the vast wolf pack and synthesized, then reintroduced back into the Valley of Dusk.

Although progress was painfully slow, after more than two hundred years of modification, the Valley of Dusk had noticeably strengthened.

Currently, the Valley of Dusk could hatch 62 black wolves per day, and the time needed to hatch a Dusk Wolf had been reduced to just over seven months.

While the increase in hatching speed wasn't particularly large, the growth in the hatching limit was significant.

Originally, the Valley of Dusk could control up to 434,800 black wolves and 285 Dusk Wolves.

Any wolf pack that exceeded this limit would no longer be under the control of the Valley of Dusk, and would threaten the very existence of the valley itself.

However, this limit had now grown to 913,200 black wolves and 602 Dusk Wolves.

This was more than a twofold increase!

This number was truly astonishing.

It was almost equivalent to a golem legion.

Not to mention the 602 wizard-level Dusk Wolves.

Undoubtedly, this would be a significant boost to the military strength of the Star Alliance!

"It's a shame the hatching time is still a bit long. The black wolves have reached their limit, but there are still far fewer Dusk Wolves, with only about 300 now," Atiel said regretfully.

"That's close enough," Xieman smiled. "With over 300 Dusk Wolves and more than 900,000 black wolves, the wolf pack's potential is no less than two golem legions. With this added strength, the upcoming battles should go more smoothly."

He paused, then looked at Atiel and asked, "By the way, are the Wisdom Codex and the Dark Throne really about to go to war?"

At the mention of this, Atiel's expression grew serious as he nodded.

"It's almost certain."

"The Dark Throne has allied with Black Sotar, the Pale Mask, and several other black wizard factions. Recently, there have been frequent troop movements, and they've been secretly infiltrating the Sacred Tree Dimension Cluster to gather intelligence. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be preparing to strike against the Wisdom Codex."

"I heard that Lord Cyril suddenly visited today. He probably came for this matter."

Xieman sighed and said, "What was supposed to be a small-scale conflict has unexpectedly evolved into this situation."

Atiel responded, "It involves a new dimension cluster. No wizard faction could simply let it go. A war is the only way to determine who controls it."

At this moment, Corey, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

"This might not be a bad thing for the Star Alliance, considering our success in capturing Witch Towers."

Xieman paused, then chuckled.

"That's true."

Of the eighteen Witch Towers currently possessed by the Star Alliance, seventeen had been acquired as spoils of war.

If the Star Alliance had to rely on building them itself, it would have taken them over a thousand years to accumulate this many.

In this regard, the war was not necessarily a bad thing for the Star Alliance.

Most importantly, the Star Alliance was making substantial profits from the magic stone trade, so even if they lost significant numbers of golem puppets and flying fleets during the war, they could quickly replenish and recover.

Though Xieman still didn't know where the Star Alliance kept acquiring all these magic stones.

"If the Dark Throne and Wisdom Codex really go to war, the Star Alliance will inevitably be involved," Xieman said, his gaze distant.

"It looks like we'll soon be joining the battle."

Corey's voice was calm. "Only by participating in the war can we earn more contribution points. Advancing to second-tier wizard requires a huge amount of resources. This war comes at just the right time."

Xieman and Atiel were already used to Corey's aggressive personality, so they weren't surprised by his words. They merely shook their heads and smiled.

"Let's go. We've been in the Wolf Tide Dimension for so long. It's time to report back, rest for a while, and prepare for the upcoming war."

In the meeting hall.

Su Nan, Lize, and Cyril were seated opposite one another.

"The Dark Throne is making a strong move. They've allied with Black Sotar, the Flame Emblem Society, the Pale Mask, and five other second- and third-tier black wizard factions. Their combined strength is formidable. If we wait for them to prepare thoroughly and then launch their attack, we will be at a severe disadvantage. Therefore, we have decided to take the initiative, as this is the decision made after discussions by the Wisdom Codex!"

Cyril's solemn voice echoed through the hall.

Su Nan didn't respond immediately but fell into thoughtful silence.

The situation was unfolding just as he had expected—the wizard civil war had indeed begun.

And it was progressing rapidly, with the conflict about to escalate into a full-scale civil war in just two years.

The Wisdom Codex had numerous affiliated organizations, and the Dark Throne had united many second- and third-tier black wizard factions.

Once these two factions went to war, nearly every wizard faction would be involved, whether willingly or unwillingly.

A full-scale civil war was imminent!

As an affiliated organization of the Wisdom Codex, the Star Alliance was, of course, inevitably drawn into it.

But Su Nan had been prepared for this.

The Star Alliance had been making various preparations for this moment.

Compared to the other affiliated organizations of the Wisdom Codex, which were caught off guard, the Star Alliance was in a much stronger position.

Su Nan had even planned to use this war to further strengthen the Star Alliance.

"What does the Wisdom Codex want us to do?"

Su Nan exchanged a glance with Lize, then spoke casually.

Cyril spoke solemnly, "The Wisdom Codex wants the affiliated organizations to help deal with the black wizard factions outside the Dark Throne. At the very least, we need to suppress them so they can't interfere in the war between the Wisdom Codex and the Dark Throne."

"Of course, we won't ask the affiliated organizations to help for free. In addition to supplying some resources for the war effort, after the war, we will reward the affiliated organizations based on their achievements."

Cyril waved his hand, and two lists floated toward Su Nan and Lize.

Su Nan took a glance, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

It was clear that the Wisdom Codex was investing heavily.

Just the initial resource supply alone was worth tens of millions of intermediate magic stones.

As for the later rewards, even if the Star Alliance didn't achieve any major victories and only managed to suppress the enemy, they would still receive resources worth 20 to 30 million intermediate magic stones.

Moreover, as the war dragged on, both the initial supply and the later rewards would increase accordingly.

And that was just the resources and rewards for the Star Alliance.

For second-tier wizard factions like Ten Thousand Birds, the resources and rewards would be even greater.

But that was to be expected.

After all, the war was over the ownership of the Earth Crystal Dimension, a new dimension cluster.

If the Wisdom Codex won, they would secure part of the ownership.

However, factions like Ten Thousand Birds and the Star Alliance would gain nothing from the victory. If they lost, they would suffer severe losses. The Wisdom Codex had to offer some incentives or else they couldn't expect the affiliated organizations to put in any real effort.

Su Nan skimmed through the list and remained unfazed. He then asked, "Who is the Star Alliance's opponent?"

"Black Sotar!"

Cyril replied gravely, noticing Lize's change in expression. He quickly added, "Of course, it's not just the Star Alliance fighting Black Sotar alone. Ten Thousand Birds will be involved as well."

Lize's expression relaxed slightly.

Even among second-tier wizard factions, Black Sotar was one of the most formidable. For the Star Alliance to face them alone was more than just difficult—it was almost impossible.

But with Ten Thousand Birds as an ally, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Seeing that Su Nan didn't raise any objections, Cyril continued, "Black Sotar currently controls twenty-two dimensions. The Star Alliance only needs to attack three of them."

"Which three?"

"The Ulan Dimension, the Manro Dimension, and the Xige Dimension."

Su Nan thought for a moment and vaguely remembered these three dimensions.

Unlike the Wolf Tide Dimension, which had been under Black Sotar's control for only a few centuries, these three dimensions had been under Black Sotar's rule for over four to five thousand years, and each had its own indigenous intelligent civilization.

After Black Sotar's long cultivation, all three dimensions were now highly fortified and powerful, far surpassing the simple Wolf Tide Dimension.

Attacking these three dimensions would not be an easy task.

Su Nan's gaze flickered slightly as he asked, "What about Black Sotar's True Spirit Wizards?"

"Black Sotar has three True Spirit Wizards. The Wisdom Codex will send two of them, along with Ten Thousand Birds' True Spirit Wizard, to jointly contain them and ensure they cannot interfere in the war."

Su Nan silently nodded.

True Spirit Wizards were like strategic weapons. If used at the right moment, they could easily alter the course of a large-scale war, introducing many unpredictable variables.

Therefore, the first step in any wizard faction's war was often to neutralize or restrain the enemy's True Spirit Wizards so they couldn't interfere.

After more than an hour of discussion and finalizing some details, Cyril finally took his leave.

Once he was gone, Lize frowned and said, "Black Sotar is not an easy opponent."

Unlike in the Earth Crystal Dimension, where the Star Alliance had a massive advantage in troop transport, Black Sotar was a true powerhouse outside that dimension.

Even with Ten Thousand Birds as an ally, the pressure was still considerable.

"It's tough, but most of the pressure will be on Ten Thousand Birds. We only have to handle three dimensions, which is still manageable," Su Nan said calmly.

In

Su Nan's memory, this wizard civil war lasted a full 500 years.

Although the timeline had changed, and the civil war broke out 300 years earlier than expected, the general trends would not change much.

After all, the power gap between the two factions was not huge, so a decisive victory would not come quickly.

Over such a long period, the Star Alliance, relying on the immense profits from magic stones, could fight while developing, using the war to accelerate its growth.

This was the Star Alliance's unique advantage!

However, Su Nan couldn't explain everything to Lize, so he only mentioned part of his thoughts.

"This war is likely to last a long time. We need to be prepared for a prolonged conflict."

"The magic stone trade should not stop. It's best to expand its scale, and all profits should go toward purchasing resources, as the upcoming war will likely be highly resource-intensive."

Lize nodded and added, "Once the war starts, the Wisdom Codex may also face resource shortages, and they'll probably restrict the trade."

"Then we'll increase our procurement from the City of All Things," Su Nan said without hesitation. "It doesn't matter if the price goes up a bit."

After all, the magic stone trade was almost like a no-cost transaction for him. As long as they could procure the resources, the price wasn't an issue.

"I understand," Lize nodded slightly.

"How's the army expansion going?" Su Nan asked, changing the topic.

"Very smoothly."

A faint smile appeared on Lize's face as she began detailing the progress.

"The fifth golem legion has been assembled, and the sixth one is in the works. Thanks to ample resources, the progress is rapid. However, considering that we'll be joining the war soon, we might have to pull a lot of manpower from the army, so the pace will slow a little."

"We've also completed three small Witch Towers, in addition to the original eighteen. They've already been claimed by the wizards under our command."

"We now have seventy-five Starforts, and the flying fleet has recovered to its pre-divine corpse war levels, with thirteen fleets in total."

Su Nan nodded slightly.

During the divine corpse war, the flying fleet had suffered heavy losses, and the remaining magical ships could barely form six fleets. The fact that it had recovered to its previous level in just two years was already impressive.

Overall, the Star Alliance's combined strength in war machines was already among the best of third-tier wizard factions.

Of course, there was still a long way to go before reaching the level of a second-tier wizard faction.

After all, their development time had been too short.

Given the formidable strength of the opponents in the upcoming war, Su Nan couldn't help but wonder if he should prepare some countermeasures to deal with Black Sotar's war machines. It would be best if these measures could help turn the tide in the upcoming battles.

After all, the confrontation between war machines would have a significant impact on the overall situation of the war.
