The Lord of Ashes

Before Sean and his party left the Metal Cemetery War Zone, two old friends he met in the Capricorn Empire, Grand Duke Muridi and Marshal Adeka, came to see him off in person.

Grand Duke Muridi and others obviously didn't know that Sean had just pried into their corner.

It was also through these two Capricorn Empire high-level officials that Sean was able to get a clearer understanding of the current situation in the Metal Cemetery War Zone.

The intensity of the Metal Cemetery War Zone today is far inferior to that when Sean and others were here more than a thousand years ago.

Although the Star Wheel Demon Ancestor, a half-step ninth-level creature, has never left this war zone.

But the other party's performance in the civilization battlefield in recent years is undoubtedly much more low-key.

Most of the time, it is still an ordinary seventh or eighth-level master, fighting against each other.

Considering the deterrent power of the Star Wheel Demon Ancestor, the Star Envoy Oren of the Nine-Star Civilization has never retreated to his mother civilization, but continued to stay on the Capricorn Empire.

This is also one of the biggest advantages of the Demon Tide Civilization at present, and it enjoys a very high initiative in everything it does.

On the other hand, other civilizations can only passively respond to the offensive of the magic tide, and rarely take the initiative to attack.

Now that a war has broken out in the wizard civilization, the Capricorn Empire probably knows a little bit.

The active farewell of Grand Duke Muridi and Marshal Adeka also has a certain purpose. They hope to reach a certain strategic cooperation with the wizard civilization.

——Where there is war, there must be profits!

This is what a certain emperor in the history of the Capricorn Empire once said.

Except that the Capricorn Empire now has no extra war fleet to support the wizard civilization, the imperial family is very interested in other aspects of cooperation.

This time, Sean can't directly draw a pie for the other party like he did when facing the alien queen.

Because it is possible to sign a contract directly!

The dominant creatures are bound by their words. If Sean agrees to something with the Capricorn Empire this time, he will have to pay the corresponding price when he returns to the wizard civilization.

Faced with the enthusiastic compliments from Grand Duke Muridi and others, Sean could only say in the end: "When I return, I will convey the enthusiastic support and goodwill of the Capricorn Empire to Ms. Bev and other high-level wizard civilization officials."

Grand Duke Muridi flashed a little regret for not being able to open a gap directly from Sean.

But then, a smile appeared on his chubby cheeks again, and he said: "Thank you, Master Sean!"

"We in the Capricorn Empire will never be stingy to friends who have helped us!" Grand Duke Muridi patted his chest twice and said proudly.

Sean pretended not to understand the bribery hint in Grand Duke Muridi's words. Wearing a faceless mask, he finally just smiled and nodded.

...

The journey from the Capricorn Empire back to the wizard civilization is still quite long.

After all, it is an inter-star zone teleportation.

Even with relatively mature teleportation methods, Sean and others struggled for more than ten years before they walked out of the inter-star zone teleportation array.

The slight time and space erosion effect made some of the fourth-level creatures under Sean's command a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention the lower-level legions.

In comparison, the Magic Tide Civilization really has more advanced technology and greater convenience in this regard.

Otherwise, how did the Magic Tide Civilization start wars in multiple star regions at the same time?

The inter-star region teleportation array on the side of the wizard civilization was built on the border of the star region where the wizard civilization's power radiates.

This is the star region where the Challenger World, a member of the Wizard Alliance, is located.

During the Gallente Federation War, the only remaining dominant war emperor in the Challenger World died, leaving the Challenger Civilization in a state of "lack of succession".

However, the situation in the Challenger World is much better than that in the Purple Killing Flame Soul World.

Many knights in the Wizard World are very fond of this large alliance plane.

And after the war, the Kingdom of Jahana has injected development resources into the Challenger World more than once.

Although Sean was not very clear about the current situation of the Challenger World, he also knew that there seemed to be several dominant potential seeds in this large alliance plane that were favored by the wizard civilization.

The Challenger Star Field is almost the outermost frontier area of ​​the wizard civilization in this direction of the starry sky.

This place is separated from the star field where the universe world is located by an extremely long and vast sea of ​​stars.

The Minghe Empire decided to attack the universe world first instead of heading straight to the wizard civilization because it felt that the distance from the wizard civilization was too far.

However, if the creatures of the wizard civilization want to go to the universe world, they certainly don’t need to use the most primitive method to cross the void.

Now a large number of complete transmission channels have been established between the two star fields.

Including the universe world can also directly connect to the fairyland, which is an important part of the strategic cooperation between the wizard civilization and the fairyland civilization.

I can’t help but look at the boundless sea of ​​stars in the direction of the universe world.

In this quiet and empty vision, it is hard to imagine how fierce the war is going on in the Minghe Empire, which is farther away from the universe.

"I heard that in the vast sea of ​​stars between this wizard civilization and the universe, there are many planes that have not been explored by our wizard civilization."

"Among them, there are even some powerful world civilizations that have reached the level of large planes."

"The sword saint Karel of the Kingdom of Jahana, a powerful existence who has always been known as the "first knight of the contemporary" in the wizard world, is currently traveling in this sea of ​​stars?"

"If there is no stable channel to other star regions, and the arrival of the magic tide crisis, this vast sea of ​​stars is indeed the focus of our wizard civilization's next stage of development and exploration." Sean couldn't help but sigh.

...

After returning to the homeland of the wizard civilization, Sean and others were of course not immediately dispatched to the battlefield of the Minghe Empire.

Even those allied creatures and combat corps that followed Sean and other masters to the expedition to the alien star region were allowed to return to their respective planes for rest.

Sean and his party need to go outside the wizard world first to report to Ms. Bev.

Outside the Challenger Star Region, the starry sky that does not belong to the radiation of the wizard civilization is indeed silent and boundless.

But within the Challenger Star Region, including those starry skies that are closer to the homeland of the wizard civilization star region, it feels extremely busy!

A large number of legions and resource supplies were sent to the front line of the civilization battlefield one after another.

On the Challenger Star Region side, there is a cross-star region teleportation array that is directly connected to the universe world.

And it was also through conversations with several level 4 or above garrison knights and magicians in this alliance star field that Sean and others learned that the wizard civilization's current inter-star field teleportation array is not only set up in the universe world.

Even the farthest, there are teleportation light gates set up at the forefront of the battlefield of the Minghe Empire.

Including the surrounding of the mother plane of the Minghe Empire, there are currently a large number of wizard civilization teleportation arrays.

The Minghe Empire did this because the strategy called "Mother Plane Defense War" has been passed by the Pharaoh Temple.

Allowing wizard civilization to station troops outside the Minghe world is the result of the fourth and tenth pharaohs in the Pharaoh Temple meeting.

Today's Minghe Empire is indeed different from tens of thousands of years ago.

They no longer have such an arrogant, domineering and arbitrary attitude.

Without the support of the wizard civilization, the Minghe Empire may have collapsed earlier.

At present, the vanguard corps of the magic tide civilization has not yet directly threatened the mother plane of the Minghe Empire.

But their direction of advance was obviously to conquer the mother plane of the Minghe Empire.

The multiple solid defense lines built by the Pharaohs to defend the mother plane had been removed by the Demon Tide Civilization in the last few decades.

Now they are attacking the second line and it seems that they will conquer it soon.

In such a short period of time, they have to lose two carefully built defense lines. It is no wonder that the Minghe Empire agreed to let the wizard civilization build a teleportation array directly around their mother plane twelve years ago.
