Age of Adepts

A tough 'epic battle' had lasted for 20 hours, and the Darkblood Legion had only lost thirty or so 1st rank Sorcerers.

As for the Iron Capital, apart from the metal protective layer on the surface of the giant rock being blown apart and shattered, only a few metal towers on the upper surface towering on the periphery were blown down one after another. As for the metal magic weapons, those of the 1st rank were blown up and destroyed, while those of the 2nd rank and above were not damaged at all.

Just from these numbers, one could see how 'gentle' the previous battle between the two sides had been fought.

If this was truly a normal wizard war, I'm afraid that the casualties on both sides would be more than ten times what they are now!

The energy aftermath from the battle between the two sides also drew the inspection team from the Esoda camp over. However, seeing the badges worn by the Darkblood witches, the inspection team did not intervene in the battle, but informed up at every level.

This matter involved the 5th level power Ishtar family, ordinary inspecting sorcerers simply didn't have the strength to intervene in a battle at this level. In addition, this was only the edge of the world outside of Esoda's camp, and strictly speaking, it didn't belong to the camp area, so the inspecting sorcerers could only wait silently on the outskirts of the battlefield, observing the war's proximity.

It was precisely because of this kind of base that the 4th stage sorcerer of the Ishtar family was so unscrupulous. Otherwise, any sorcerer family that took the initiative to stir up a dispute at the Esotah camp would be punished by the resident sorcerer even if they won a complete victory.

When the war dragged on for 20 hours later, that 4th rank wizard of the Ishtar family finally realized that something was wrong.

If... if that Crimson Family was really relying only on magic crystals to support this Steel Capital, then it should have been depleted clean and spit out by now. But having fought so far, the Darkblood Sorcerer had already lost a squad, and the other side's terrifying city forged of steel was still fiercely on fire, with no hint of energy deprivation visible.

"Bastard, there must be something odd inside the enemy's fortress! We can't delay any longer... Joval, you lead the 1st Battalion inside and take a position on the surface of the enemy city..."

"Yes!"

Hearing the order of a 4th rank wizard, a scowling, hawk-nosed 3rd rank male darkblood wizard smiled sardonicly, slapped a giant owl beneath him, and swooped down with 500 darkblood witches.

"Weno, you're good at plants. Once Joval has taken up a stable stronghold, you'll be in charge of creating magic vines to drill through this damn giant rock..."

"Yes, everything is as you wish it to be!"

Weno was a Level 3 male wizard with green fluorescence all over his body, and his body was filled with all kinds of bottles and jars. After bowing in response to the order, he rushed out with his 300 direct subordinates with a wave of his hand.

"Twilight, Doriell, you two attack the Steel Capital with all your might and share the firepower for Joval. Remember, give me a fierce fight!"

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Two more 3rd rank Darkblood Witches responded to the order at the same time, each rushing down into the sky with their own subordinates.

Driven by the 4th rank witches, in just a few moments, nearly 2,000 Darkblood witches joined the battle group, also making the battle that had been going on for a long time instantly turn white hot.

In the 700-meter-deep core area of the giant rock, the incomparably huge brain of the alien brain Ghazluvi was immersed in a viscous solution, using its unparalleled mind power to control everything within the Steel Capital.

And inside its trembling brain, there was also a strange metal cap with a strong goblin style stuffed into it.

The bright yellow base indicated that it was an odd hat made of brass.

It was odd because of its size.

This hat is a few sizes too small for a human to wear, how can it be placed on top of the huge brain chamber that easily covers 50-60 meters of the foreign brain? And on top of the cap band, brass ring, knobs, **, directional gauges and other miscellaneous bits and pieces of a big pile, the soldering work is even more crude, how look like a temporary chapter made a hodgepodge.

Thinking amplifier... that was the name of this item.

Naturally, it was also one of the many goblin technologies taken out by the Goblin Research Institute!

It took two giant floating ships to obtain this goblin technology product.

It was precisely this insignificant piece of junk that had tripled Brain Gazluvi's brainwaves, and even made its psychic abilities more terrifying and penetrating.

Under the control of Iso-Brain Ghazluvi, the entire core area of the giant rock had been hollowed out with a diameter of 5,000 meters, and all the magic weapon factories, ore sorting place, refinery, refining workshop, smelting furnace, metal processing center.......all were densely packed inside, and with the support of abundant magical energy, they were continuously digging out the giant rock! The metal ore was transformed into magic energy metal or a tall magic weapon.

If placed in the past, a metal giant rock covering such a vast area would have to appear to be unable to make ends meet if the Super Magic Melting Furnace that Ghazluvi had fused with was used as a power source alone.

But now, with Grim opening up the trade route that was Molten Fire City, the Crimson Family had a way to obtain a steady stream of Quillus Alloy. This exotic metal might just be a relatively rare wizard resource in the hands of others, but in Grim's hands, it could create a magical power source that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

And with the 'bravery' of the Isobrain Ghazluvi standing in the first line of the Crimson Family's journey to the outer reaches of the Domain, Grim would naturally not fail to treat it well. Thus, in the past month or so, the Steel Capital had been replenished with 5 Magic Melting Furnaces.

With the powerful energy supplied by the magical furnaces, and the inexhaustible supply of fine metal ores within the giant rocks, the Iron Capital had never stopped expanding from the moment it took root.

All the ores extracted from the giant rocks would be sent to the goblin workshop, where they would be sorted, sifted, filtered, melted, refined, blended, and other hundreds of processes would be completed, and then continuously transformed into the magical alloys needed for the expansion of the Iron Capital, or turned into metal magic weapons, expanding the ranks of the defenders of the Iron Capital.

With energy and metal, the Steel Capital would have the foundation for infinite expansion!

It could be politely said that in the past, the Steel Capital had created countless mechanical eyes and prospectors, spreading them out into this vast extra-domain space.

All the hovering giant rocks, all the dark spaces, the mechanical eyes and prospectors had visited them one by one.

Their location, the composition of their rocks, their metal composition and reserves, the proportion of rare ores.......a lot of precious information was gathered into the brain of the foreign brain Ghazluvi.

Seriously speaking, the distribution of the giant rocks in this extra-territorial space, as well as the composition of the resources and other information, Isobaric Ghazluvi might be able to control more detailed and objective information than the resident sorcerers of the Esoda camp.

If this batch of enemies hadn't come too quickly and suddenly, I'm afraid that at this moment, Isobrain Ghazluvi would have been considering which suitable suspended giant rock to build a second steel base on.

But for now, Gazruvi had temporarily sealed that thought and began to do his best to deal with this group of uninvited and abominable enemies!

Twenty hours of low-intensity warfare had not only not depleted the Steel Capital's magical energy reserves, it had even allowed Ghazluvi to store an additional 300 tons of magical energy alloys as well as over 400 Tier 1 magical weapons and over 20 Tier 2 magical weapons.

If it wasn't for the fact that the perimeter of the Steel Capital was intentionally left in tatters in order to confuse the enemy, and Ghazluvi was operating at full strength, all the damage that the Steel Capital had sustained in the past period could be repaired and restored within half a quarter of an hour.

Therefore, when Ghazluvi's omnipresent psychic power sensed the enemy's massive attack, it immediately activated the two 'sleeping' magical furnaces, instantly doubling the amount of magical energy supplied to the Iron Capital.

The vast and abundant magical energy surged wildly within the metal pipes, rapidly transporting it to all corners of the Steel Capital. Those collapsed and damaged metal towers or buildings were blown up like golden fluid, then reshaped and solidified.

And those damaged magic cannons were also removed and replaced with new goods that had just walked off the assembly line.

All of this was done inside the Steel Capital, and it was difficult for the outside world to see a fraction of it.

Thus, as the hordes of Darkblood witches braced their sorcery shields and swooped down against the intense fire, a dense array of magic energy cannons poked out from inside a giant metal tower that had risen from the ground, and then opened fire in an instant.

This extra-domain dark space instantly lit up like daylight!

The overly dense and ferocious magical energy attacks were like a net of energy that smashed into the Darkblooded Sorcerers' ranks.

The ferocity of the attack and the astonishing strength of the magic energy caused all the witches inside and outside the arena to turn pale in unison.

Damn, what a terrifying attack!

And just as that 4th rank sorcerer's heart sank, it was as if a grand firework had blossomed above the battlefield, and a terrifying tide of energy instantly engulfed the hundreds of Darkblood sorcerers who were in front of him.

Boom boom boom....

Such a dense concentration of fire would not be defensible even if the strength of the Sorcery Shield's defense was increased tenfold.

Thus, as one by one the Sorcery Shield ruptured, violent magical energy swept in, directly devouring the more than a hundred Dark Blood Sorcerers at the forefront of the team.

Energy rippled, elemental martyrdom, broken limbs, and blood splattered....

126 1st rank Darkblood Witches and 11 2nd rank Darkblood Witches became the pitiful victims of the Steel Capital's first round of counterattack. Most of the witches' bodies, along with the owls beneath them, were riddled with holes and shattered, their tattered limbs and puffs of blood pouring down like raindrops.

Some of the wizards who were tragically set on fire were even vaporized directly, not even a bit of their body parts were left behind!

The battlefield atmosphere instantly became stagnant and solidified....
