Chapter 265: War Creation

"Lord Su Nan."
In the reception room, Tanna bowed respectfully to Su Nan.
"No need for formalities, please sit."
Su Nan gestured to the sofa opposite him.
Tanna complied, taking a seat and subtly observing Su Nan, a sigh of admiration flashing through his mind.
When the Star Alliance and the Dark Throne erupted into war, he was still a guest on the Starlight Continent. By chance, he had witnessed the entire conflict, which left him deeply impressed.
He had not known beforehand about the Dark Throne's attack on the Starlight Continent. Therefore, when he discovered that You Xi was leading the Wolf Tide Plane and five wizard towers in an invasion, he secretly felt sorry for the Star Alliance.
In his view, it had been no easy feat for the Star Alliance to develop to such a point, but now they were facing the notorious Dark Throne of the multiverse, which could very well spell their complete destruction.
However, the subsequent developments left him utterly astonished.
The fleet of flying magic ships, dragons, and medium-sized wizard towers—the power displayed by the Star Alliance far exceeded his expectations.
From start to finish, the Star Alliance had steadily maintained the upper hand.
In the end, it was the Dark Throne's forces that retreated in defeat.
The leading wizard was forced to abandon the five wizard towers and flee in disgrace!
Su Nan had even pursued them.
Although he did not witness the subsequent developments firsthand, the Star Alliance's bold move to openly enter the enemy's plane suggested that those Dark Throne wizards had likely met a grim fate.
Tanna truly did not expect the Star Alliance to win, even with the Dark Throne deploying five wizard towers and an entire plane!
It was only then that he realized he had grossly underestimated the Star Alliance.
As a result, standing before Su Nan again, his respect and awe only grew.
"Lord Su Nan, what do you need me for?"
After sitting down, Tanna asked with some trepidation.
Su Nan smiled and said, "I wouldn't say 'need,' but I do have a favor to ask. Of course, it will be compensated."
Tanna secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face breaking into a smile. "My Lord, please command. If I can be of any help, I will not refuse."
"Are you familiar with the City of All Things?"
"The City of All Things? Yes, quite familiar. I always rest there for a while after returning from plane exploration. In a sense, the City of All Things is a transit point and a place of respite for us traveling wizards."
"Perfect," Su Nan said with a faint smile. "I plan to visit the City of All Things. Could you act as my guide?"
Tanna was slightly taken aback, not expecting Su Nan to ask him for this. However, he quickly recovered and agreed without hesitation.
"No problem, it would be an honor to help Lord Su Nan."
"These can be considered your advance payment."
Su Nan waved his hand, and five bottles of synthesis potions floated in front of Tanna.
Tanna's smile became more genuine. "Thank you, my Lord."
To serve as a guide and receive five bottles of synthesis potions in return—this deal was simply too good to be true.
After Tanna left, Lizze emerged from the back.
"Why did you think of asking Tanna to be your guide?"
Su Nan smiled ambiguously. "A first-tier wizard who can explore the Shadow Realm and escape from the Night Shadow Giant Insect must have some skills. Most such traveling wizards have some connections with the City of All Things, making him the right choice as a guide."
In his past life, Su Nan had only visited the City of All Things a few times, so he could say he was somewhat familiar with the place, but not overly so.
This time, besides purchasing the Soul Purifying Flower, he also intended to thoroughly explore this famous neutral city. Having a knowledgeable guide would be best.
Lizze pondered for a moment, then said no more.
"Come with me when I go," Su Nan suddenly said.
Lizze was taken aback. "I doubt it would be convenient for me in my current state, right?"
"Once we find the Soul Purifying Flower, I can immediately reshape your body for you."
Lizze was immediately intrigued. After a moment of hesitation, she finally agreed.
After settling the details for the trip to the City of All Things, Su Nan returned to the top floor of the wizard tower.
The nest in the Twilight Valley had already been secured, and the matters in the Wolf Tide Plane no longer required his attention. He could leave them to Lizze to handle.
Now he could focus on his own tasks.
Naturally, cultivation, learning spells, and upgrading his wizard gear were at the top of his list. However, there were many other tasks that required his personal attention.
For example, repairing the wizard towers.
The restoration of the four small wizard towers seized from the Dark Throne had already been assigned to other wizards.
However, the Star Alliance wizards were new to this and were still unfamiliar with the process, so complete restoration would take some time.
The restoration of the medium-sized wizard tower was even more challenging and required Su Nan's personal involvement.
Additionally, the Starlight Wizard Tower needed further upgrades.
Lizze had already purchased the design blueprints for plasma cannons and pulse cannons from the Codex of Wisdom. The next step was to manufacture them, enhance them through synthesis, and then install them in the Starlight Wizard Tower to boost its long-range firepower.
The blueprints for the Shadow Steel Golem and the Adamantine Golem had also been acquired.
These were genuine wizard-level constructs, especially the Adamantine Golem, which had combat capabilities comparable to a second-tier vaporization wizard.
Su Nan planned to enhance and modify these constructs on their original designs and then add them to the Starlight Wizard Tower's golem army to strengthen its combat power.
Other areas also required upgrades and enhancements.
With the Codex of Wisdom as a trading channel, Su Nan was confident he could quickly upgrade the Starlight Wizard Tower to a large-scale tower.
The last task was to research the war fortress.
In the previous war, flying magic ships had demonstrated impressive combat capabilities, making them suitable for dealing with large groups of creatures like the Black Wolf Pack or conventional golem armies.
However, they were less effective against wizard towers.
Even a small wizard tower had combat capabilities far surpassing those of a flying magic ship.
Flying magic ships often had to rely on sheer numbers and sacrifices to counter wizard towers.
In the previous battle, nearly 60% of the flying magic ships were destroyed, yet they failed to take down even a single small wizard tower.
If Su Nan had not appeared with the Starlight Wizard Tower, the eight flying fleets would likely have been completely annihilated without even managing to destroy a small wizard tower.
At best, they could have drained the energy of five wizard towers and reduced the durability of the mystic lock protective energy fields.
Therefore, it was imperative to develop a more powerful war construct than the flying magic ships!
In fact, other wizard factions had already created similar war constructs.
For example, the Mobile Bastion of the Deep Blue Alliance, the Godhunter Peak of the Starlight Bell Tower, and the Bone Hunter of the Dark Throne.
These war constructs were closely guarded secrets of their respective wizard factions, and outsiders could not obtain detailed blueprints.
However, Su Nan had a certain level of understanding of these war constructs. Standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, he was confident in developing a unique war construct for the Star Alliance.
"The cost of building wizard towers is simply too high. Even with the secondary magic stones synthesis as a source of income, it won't be easy to manufacture wizard towers."
"Just to be safe, let's first produce a batch of war fortresses, and we can accumulate resources for the wizard towers over time."
