Chapter 1161: Construct
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Soon, wizard Charlie got a reply from the Howling Castle. All the small resource points were empty.
Wizard Charlie and his team then waited for the Howling Castle to send wizards over for a takeover. Afterward, they returned to the Howling Castle with disappointment.
All the other teams were looking quite good. it seemed like they all got a decent amount of rewards.
As the law-defying wizards gathered in the Hall, Wizard Hume pointed at a map on the wall.
“Everyone, I will thank you all for your bravery on behalf of the WIzard Union. We have taken over large amounts of resource points as well as taking down many knights from the Evil Kingdom with minimal sacrifice!” WIzard Hume laughed.
Their operation was smooth, but of course, it was only because the rewards the wizard union offered were too attractive.
When it came to who deserved the most rewards, it was none other than Grandmaster Bennett. He was the one who resurrected the law-defying wizards.
Those resurrected law-defying wizards were all insane in their fighting style. They used the protection spells on their body to directly counteract attacks of knights just to get more spell casting opportunities and make sure they successfully land a strike on a knight.
After all, almost all of them had returned on the verge of death with an abundance of fighting experience.
With only 60 years to live, they needed the rewards of the wizard union, and they would complete their missions by all means necessary.
Wizard Hume couldn’t thank Grandmaster Bennett enough for providing them with power potions, which added another layer of security.
“Initially, the Wizard Union was planning to take over the front line step by step. By the Evil Kingdom reacted fast and gathered all their forces in these 10 resource points!” Wizard Hume pointed at the map.
“Our next mission is to examine the condition of those resource points. It will not be easy. They know we are looking, so don’t risk your lives. After all, all of you are the most important a.s.sets of the union!” Wizard Hume said.
He didn’t want to lose any law-defying wizards for resource points. Their all-out fighting style would not work as well when the Holy Kingdom retracted their forces.
The law-defying wizards exchanged a gaze. Most of them already decided to attack as soon as they understood what they were dealing with.
Just like that, 400 law-defying wizards, thousands of elite wizards, hundreds of archpriests, and tens of mad Barbarians, began to make their way towards the 10 resource points in a flash.
Those 10 resource points were scattered around the radius of the Holy Kingdom and each of them was no more than 20 miles apart. Therefore, destroying their teleportation circle wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Therefore, it would be very hard to take over once they doubled down on forces.
It was also because of the location of those resource points, the wizard union could no longer proceed with their plan of attacking the Guardian Wing from the side.
As for now, the Howling Castle remained the only place opened for a direct strike.
However, it would be suicide without sufficient defense.
Not to mention, those 10 resource points had more than enough knights to gang up on any wizard who tried to attack the Guardian wings.
Wizard Charlie was in the front of the team, and he soon saw their target.
He immediately knew it would be a rough fight with the energy of more than 30 mad knights.
There was also a team of 10,000 holy knights in a formation by aside.
“Every law defying wizard on my command, do not attack!” Wizards Hume yelled.
Although their team could take down those knights if they went all out, this was only one out of the ten resource points. With a teleportation circle within the castle, those 30 mad knights could easily turn into 300.
The Holy Kingdom was prepared, the wizards could no longer take advantage of their lack of information and strike by surprise.
Wizard Hume could not afford to lose too many law-defying wizards.
Unlike the holy Kingdom, there were many places they needed to guard besides resource points, such as the Defence Wall of Doomsday for example.
With so many newly gained resource points, even 400 law-defying wizards might not be enough in the future.
He waved his hand, and a magic circle maker began to set up some temple magic circles.
First, a giant protection circle. It was crucial for avoiding surprise attacks. Even if the Holy Kingdom decided to send out mad knights, it would be able to buy time for the Wizards to attack.
Therefore, each castle in the front line was built on the corpses of countless men.
Of course, the giant protection circles used in the front line were also no ordinary protection circles. The material it used was vastly more valuable since it needed to be set up much quicker. That was why you would only see something like that in the front line.
Still, setting it up took an hour.
During this time, the Law defying wizards kept their eyes out but the castle in front of them did not attack.
The Holy Kingdom had no choice. The wizards were just too strong.
Their mission was to guard the resource points, not to take down wizards.
Therefore, they could only watch as the wizards set up their defense.
“Good!” Wizard Hume smiled.
If the knights were not going to strike, it was time for them to do so.
Once the protection circle was ignited, the wizards let out a breath of relief, but the magic circle makers did not stop. Instead, they moved even faster and set up 3 temporary teleportation circles.
However, the wizards were confused. What was the point of having 3 temporary teleportation circles?
Time pa.s.sed, and the 3 temporary teleportation circles began to glow.
The first group to step out was the dwarves. They did not say anything as they stepped aside for more dwarves to arrive.
Wizard Charlie knew those dwarves were not wizards by their scent. They seemed like normal warriors.
He was even more confused.
However, when he saw the wizard dwarves and they began to take out huge construction machines, he immediately knew what those warrior dwarves were for.
The wizard union was about to build their own castles right in front of those 10 resource points.
3 temporary teleportation circles were not enough for large-scale teleportation, and the dwarves began to set up a large teleportation circle after they jumped on their construction machines.
As more and more dwarves arrived, they began to set up an even more powerful and stable protection circle.
All of a sudden the 400 law-defying wizards didn’t know what to do as they watched the dwarves take out endless amounts of components from their portal bag.
Seems like the Wizard union had it prepared and gathered those components long ago.
All the dwarves needed was to set up a base with their machines and lay the components down one by one.
6 hours pa.s.sed without any battles. Instead, the front line was bustling with the sound of construction machines.
In the end, a huge castle appeared on the spot.
With a large teleportation circle, 4000 extremely skilled dwarves builders were teleported.
This was how they could build a castle filled with magic patterns in just 6 hours. It was made for the front line and each component was made with the best material since the budget was not even a consideration.
The wizard union had a rule. The resource of the front line stayed in the front line, this way, they could make sure they had enough to fight the Holy Kingdom.
The wizard union had always been researching the construction of castles in secret and the resources investment was scary.
The mad knights on the other side were stunned as they saw a castle appear in front of time just like that.
They began to regret not disrupting the wizards, but the command they got was still the same. Stay on guard.
The team of wizards, priests, and Barbarians did not leave. Instead, Wizard Hume commanded them to stay.
No one had any complaints; this battle was unlike any other. As long as the dwarves continued their construction, they would be able to line up with the defense of other castles in the front line.
This way, the Holy Kingdom would not stand a chance if they wanted to take back the resources point.
The wizard union was in full control of the front line. It was an amazing accomplishment, even though they did not achieve their ultimate goal.
