Synthetic Wizard-Chapter 141 - 111: A Battle of Kindred Spirits

"Participate in the war?"

After hearing Amy’s relayed words, Sunan was slightly taken aback.

He immediately refused without hesitation.

What a joke!

This is not the Black Wizard Academy, where fierce competition is used to pick out the best candidates.

After finally training a qualified apprentice, how could he let them go to the battlefield to die?

If you want more Contribution Points, just honestly complete a few more tasks.

Of course, Sunan also doesn’t intend to train students to be flowers in a greenhouse.

He just wants them to gain experience, and once they advance to Level 2 Wizard Apprentice and have enough self-defense power, they can go out.

Having Amy deliver his response, Sunan turned around and continued with his work.

After merging the twenty-five Divine Blood Amber items he acquired at the last gathering, his meditation efficiency skyrocketed again.

Now practicing the Star Ring Meditation Method every day, his proficiency increases by more than 3800 on average.

The progress is astonishing!

The Star Ring Meditation Method is now only short of about a hundred thousand proficiency to level up.

According to Sunan’s calculations, he should be able to construct the twelfth star ring next month, getting closer to advancing to Official Wizard.

Training for magic learning and silent spellcasting is also underway steadily.

Aside from that, most of his time and energy are invested in building up this army.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

Time flies, and the month of Fiery Stream (July) arrives in the blink of an eye.

Successfully constructing the twelfth star ring coincided with the fifth small woodland cottage gathering.

Regrettably, Black Forest did not participate, and the promised puppet design drawings were still unseen.

Sunan only purchased some rare metals and three miniature soul crystals before ending the gathering.

So far, all miniature soul crystals acquired from the gatherings have been used by him to craft Steel Golems.

As of now, Sunan has twelve Steel Golems at his disposal.

Aside from leaving three Steel Golems to guard the base and one to guard the second Magic Plant Garden, the remaining eight are stationed at Camp 1.

It wasn’t until the month of Autumn Curtain that Sunan was ready to wage war.

At Camp 1.

Looking at the neatly arranged golem puppets before him, Sunan let out a long breath.

A total of eight Steel Golems, twelve Elite Stone Golems, eight hundred Stone Golems, and fifty Double-Bladed Puppets.

This legion line-up is enough to flatten any Count’s domain or weaker Marquis’s domain on the surface.

Yet now, it’s only being used against a single Human-faced Lion City State, indicating significant importance.

To create this puppet legion, Sunan has put all this year’s mining profits into it, and also extracted a large sum of funds from Flashing Territory.

You could say the cash flow has been entirely depleted. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

But considering the seven mining veins surrounding the Human-faced Lion City State, the current investment still seems worthwhile.

"It’s a pity the time was short; otherwise, if we waited another half year and doubled the number of the puppet legion, it would be even easier to deal with the Human-faced Lion City State."

Sunan originally wanted to postpone the war to make more thorough preparations.

Only recently, for the past half month, had the human-faced lions sent spies to investigate the caves.

They were very cautious and decisively retreated after discovering the stationed Elite Stone Golems, but weren’t aware they’d already triggered the magic alert, and Sunan was aware of all their actions in advance.

Sunan estimated that the Human-faced Lion City State had its eye on this entrance for quite some time, and they’d likely take action soon.

Rather than waiting for their attack and fighting defensively, it’s better to strike first and catch them off guard.

Gathering his thoughts, Sunan stored all the golem puppets in the cube, then entered the cave.

Arriving at the vigilance point, he paused, and beside him, the air twisted as Hidden Dragon’s massive, menacing body emerged out of nowhere.

"Be careful later, I probably won’t be able to look after you when the fighting starts."

After casting Floating Skill on Hidden Dragon, Sunan advised.

"Roar!"

Hidden Dragon let out a low growl in response.

After evolving into a sub-dragon bloodline, its roar sounded more like a dragon’s roar, carrying a sense of dominance and authority.

Sunan smiled, activated his invisibility cloak, and his figure instantly faded from sight.

Hidden Dragon also vanished into the air.

The pair quickly passed through the stalactites, hovering in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, the once empty space above the lake was now full of bat rays flying around, each carrying a human-faced lion with a curved blade.

In the distance, in front of the rebuilt city walls, large groups of kobolds, lizardmen, and ogres were being herded to line up on the lake shore, calls and shouts echoing endlessly.

Beside them was the well-prepared human-faced lion army, orderly yet chillingly cold.

"This is..."

Sunan raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing on his face.

Unexpectedly, the human-faced lions shared his intuition, choosing the same day to wage war.

Now it’s perfect, no need for siege warfare.

Fighting on a flat terrain will be more beneficial for the golem puppets to show their capabilities.

His eyes flashed with brilliance, and Sunan slowly flew forward.

The human-faced lions along the way were completely unaware that an uninvited guest had entered their territory, continuing to sit atop their bat rays on alert.

On the city walls.

Three half-human, half-snake human-faced lion nobility looked down at the slave army below, with two Soul-devouring Hunters lying lazily to the sides, wagging their tails.

Seeing the chaotic slave army, Pallida couldn’t help but frown, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"A bunch of lowly slaves, can these guys really invade the surface world?"
