Age of Adepts

Three months later....

In a well-protected sorcery chamber, Grim was meditating silently.

At his class, the ordinary meditation techniques had been little more than a boost to mental energy. But the habits he had developed over the centuries still made him used to use meditation techniques instead of sleep, and only when he was too exhausted would he give up everything to exhale once.

But it was rare to encounter such a situation once in a hundred years.

However, just as his soul was drifting and rules and consciousness were mingling and reciprocating, a sweet female voice suddenly rang out in the chamber.

"Lord Grim, it's time for you to conduct your shift!"

It was a message from the witch spirit of the Giant Rock Castle.

Grim frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

Hmm, it's time?

Not daring to slow down, Grim stood up and casually pulled open a short-range portal, and was already at the entrance of that 'Cloud' hall when he next appeared.

The next time he appeared, he was already at the entrance of the 'Cloud' Hall. As the headquarters of the Beast Slaying Campaign, there were a total of twelve crystal halls in the Giant Rock Castle for the great sorcerers to prepare for battle and rest. The hall that Grim was in was coded with the 'Cloud' character, so it was also called the Cloud Hall.

At the same time as him, there were five other Sorcerers.

After this period of time, they had gotten to know each other well, so after greeting each other, they entered the Hall of Clouds at the same time.

When the few sorcerers who were preparing for battle in the Hall of Clouds saw them arrive, they all bowed their heads in greeting, and then exploded into fireworks of different colors and disappeared from the scene one after another.

The new arrival, Grim and the other six, bowed to the Grissom Sorcerer who was sitting at the front of the hall, before taking their seats. Only the six of them were seated inside the crystal hall that could accommodate a thousand people, each of them staying far away from the others, silently doing something of interest to themselves.

Some pulled out heavy sorcery books and read through them; some closed their eyes and began a shallow meditation; some simply gathered a mist and hid inside, clanking and clanking without knowing what they were doing....

Only Grim was sitting on the crystal seat, watching the movements inside the circular hall through the curtain wall with great interest.

This was undoubtedly the command center of the Beast Slaying Campaign. Thousands of vassals and foreign legions scattered around the periphery were cooperating with the elite sorcerer troops to launch an incessant offensive against the dominant position of the Orcs.

The witches embedded in the crystal clusters were in some strange way maintaining close contact with the sorcerer troops billions of miles away, and were rapidly conveying information about the battle situation.

At the same time, intense and bloody wars were erupting on almost a dozen planes at the same time.

Only, these wars were billions of miles away, so the high-ranking sorcerers present could only use simple and crude numbers to depict the brutality and ferocity of the war in the distant lands.

"On the Yunming front, the Nick bit offensive is blocked... The two-headed dragon forces have suffered 41% battle losses and are in dire need of support from the high ranked warband..."

"On the line of the Heavenly River, the Beta Plane has besieged the Plane's indigenous army in the kingdom... It is rumored that they are praying for the arrival of the Beast God genus Urkan, please send high end forces from headquarters early to respond..."

"On the aquamarine front, the battle situation on the Mogutasith level is urgent... The battlefield has suddenly seen the bilocation of the Beast God genus Yodara, rank 6, which has already caused heavy damage to our troops... The Ghost Spirit troops were annihilated, and the army leader Nemo was killed in battle... The Wood Dragon troops lost 70% of their forces, and the army leader Wall was seriously injured and was pushed into the surrounding star field, please pay attention to the search for the follow-up troops..."

Since the enemy had already sent the 6th stage billet onto the battlefield, the Sorcerer's side would naturally not stand idly by and let it overrun the battlefield. Thus, this blocking mission was quickly handed over to the Flower Character Hall.

A few moments later, the Floral Character Hall's teleportation light shone brightly, and the leader of the 6th stage sorcerer and his two 5th stage subordinates teleported directly onto the battlefield. At the same time, several other sorcerers were assigned by the Wizard Spirit to rush to the Hall of Blossoms to take up the vacant positions.

More than a dozen faces were at war at the same time, some were stuck outside the barriers of the faces and were still fighting hard; some had already penetrated into the inner faces and were fighting with the local natives around the portal or the spatial rift; some had already completed their conquests and were sending their men to clean up the remaining beast god power inside the faces....

More than a dozen fronts operated in unison, one by one, one by one, the list of tedious chores was simply endless. Each location needed to deploy different levels of sorcerer troops according to the size of the indigenous forces within it, which involved logistics, supplies, operation, recuperation, rotation....

If one also considered the changes in the battlefield situation, the enemy's subsequent responses, and the unexpected factors that needed attention... all of these matters added up to a grim and terrifying data disaster for any battlefield command center.

However, after tens of thousands of years of hard work, the Sorcerer camp had still formed a battle command system with its own characteristics. And all the high school, low school, and even great sorcerers had found their niche around this battle command system.

It was also thanks to the many vassal forces that the sorcerers were able to preserve the elite forces of their side, enabling them to set foot on the battlefield at the most suitable time and place, thus gaining the greatest degree of victory with the least amount of effort!

But such a war couldn't last for too long, after all, once the vassal forces' legions were exhausted, it would take a loss of precious battle power under the sorcerers to attack over one bit at a time.

Therefore, after the large bit wars ended, the two large civilizations involved in the war needed some time to recuperate, in order to wait for the vassal forces to slowly regain their strength. And when a large civilization fattened up, it was also the time for them to open their greedy eyes and search for prey in the multiverse.

Seeing the scene before him, Grim couldn't help but be overcome with emotion.

It was because, in his memories, he seemed to have participated in an assault on the Beast Goddess's throne along with the Northern Witches. That had been two or three hundred years ago, and in terms of time span analysis, it should have been the prologue stage of this large beast-cutting battle.

At that time, he didn't even understand the meaning behind what he was doing, he was just following the Northern Witches in a daze, trying to save some resources in a bitter war. But now, he was sitting in the command center of the witch camp, examining the entire process as a third party observer.

At this moment, there might be countless young sorcerers who were fighting in the front line with the same thoughts as he had. They might succeed and return home with a large amount of resources; they might fail and end up in some cold, unknown land.......

But regardless of success or failure, their participation drove the chariot of the Witch camp, rumbling and crushing the bones and blood of countless orcs all the way to the top of the bituminous civilization.

The battle to cut down the beasts had been going on for over seventy years, almost as long as the demonic tide had been erupting.

Apparently, the Barbara Witch who had instigated the offensive also wanted to take advantage of the great moment when the defenses of the various planes weakened during the demonic tide to try her best to rip off more and more fat flesh and blood from the Beast God line, weakening that Beast God A**'s power by eliminating the Beast God's followers.

As for when and if these two behind-the-scenes bigwigs would meet head-on, it would be beyond the reach of Grim's level.

Perhaps, right now, those true camp decision makers were scrutinizing Grim and the others' every move with another, more detached and spirited stance!

Every time he thought about it, an indescribably odd feeling swelled within Grim.

However, at this moment, another wizard's loud cry was suddenly heard in the circular hall.

"On the first line of the Heavenly River, there is an outbreak of transcendent forces within the Beast Capital of the Beta Plane, and they have drawn the arrival of the Campbell Separation by way of a blood sacrifice, assessed at rank 5... Requesting the headquarters to send reinforcements immediately!"

Almost instantly, the witch spirit's voice rang out in the Flower Words Hall.

"Wizard Grissom of the Floral Hall, please immediately send reinforcements to the Beta Plane..."

A 5th rank descending billet of a beast god genus Urcan, naturally, there was no need for a 6th rank Gleeson to take action. So Gleeson opened his eyes and swept his gaze over the six men in the hall and quickly landed on a male wizard named Pilder.

"Pilder, go over there! If there's no need, you can refrain from fighting the other side, just deter them from daring to slaughter our attacking forces... "Grissom gave the order indifferently, and the latter stood up and bowed in response.

In the next moment, a huge light formation suddenly surfaced in one corner of the Flower Character Hall, and constantly emitted striking spatial fluctuations.

One had to know that the War Hub was located here, but every single bit of the battlefield was billions of miles away. If one wanted to reach there directly, one's personal teleportation sorcery was of no help at all, and it was only possible with the help of this kind of fixed ultra-long-range teleportation array.

Therefore, that Pyrrhic Wizard hurriedly walked within the light formation, and after a few flexes of his fingers, as dazzling white light flashed, his figure disappeared without a trace.

A moment later, another sorcerer from this group in the Flower Character Hall hurriedly walked in, took a seat, and took the place of that Pyrrhic sorcerer.

The wheel of war would not end once it had begun, it had to end with the total defeat of one side or the other.

Thus, during Grim's next month-long shift, thousands of battles broke out on the front lines, and the number of great sorcerers sent out to them grew. There were also as many as four of these missions in the Flower Character Hall's turn, but the rest of the Grand Sorcerers had already been dispatched one after another, but only left Grim and the other Grand Sorcerer idle.

Was this taking care of themselves?

Grim couldn't help but be a little curious, but there was no way to find out.

At the end of one month, another group of six was called in, and Grim and the other six who were on duty in the Hall of Flowers were able to loosen up.

For each shift, there was an idle period of five to six months.

During the first three months of the idle period they were free to move about.

They could choose to rest in the Giant Rock Castle during this time, or they could teleport to one of the war planes of interest to gather some local resources and knowledge at their own expense.

For the next one or two months, they could only rest in the Giant Rock Castle and wait for orders. If the war was tense, they would also need to replace those great wizards who were on duty in the Flower Hall.

In short, there must be six Level 5 Grand Sorcerers in the Hall of Flowers at all times.

If the twelve Crystal Halls were all like this, it would mean that this Giant Rock Castle had a huge war power of 72 Grand Sorcerers at once.

Of course, the war potential of committing one to two hundred Grand Sorcerers at once could also be tapped if the consequences were not considered!
