Chapter 434: Chapter 255: Military Expansion and Synthesis of the Spirit Pearl

In Sunan’s memory, after Starlight Calendar 2000, during the Dark Throne’s massive invasion of the Starlight Continent, there was no appearance of True Spirit Wizards or large Wizard Towers.

Now, thinking back, perhaps as Maisy said, the Dark Throne had devoted most of its resources to conquering a second Plane Community, leaving little strength to focus on a single plane.

However, Sunan vaguely remembers that the Dark Throne seemed to have mobilized the entire war power of a plane, which eventually evolved into a large-scale planar war.

Even so, it was considered fortunate.

At the very least, the Star Alliance also controlled an entire plane with the strength to oppose.

"How goes the military expansion?" Sunan inquired.

Lize, well aware, replied without thinking, "The eighth large-scale Golem Legion is already being organized; it should be completed before the planar blockade is lifted."

"The Demon Pattern Knight Order currently has fifty-eight thousand official members, with over five hundred thousand backup members not yet equipped with Magic Pattern Armor."

"The core Sub-dragon Knight unit has increased to eight thousand five hundred; a new batch of Sub-dragon Species has just come out from the ranch, allocated and currently in the adaptation period. By next year, the entire unit is expected to expand to nine thousand."

As early as after the completion of the Starlight Wizard Tower, the Star Alliance focused its resources on the expansion of military forces to prepare for the Dark Throne’s invasion.

The Golem Legion and Demon Pattern Knight Order, as the core armament of the Star Alliance, are naturally the top priority for expansion.

A large-scale Golem Legion consists of one hundred and twenty-five thousand units.

Eight legions amount to a million units.

This means the Star Alliance could have a million golems by next year.

Counting the local defense forces stationed across various city-states in the underground world and resource points, the number of golems could further increase by three to four hundred thousand.

One million three to four hundred thousand golems, even if most are Stone Golems and Dual-bladed Spiders, this number is quite staggering.

Starlight Academy’s cultivation of a large number of Wizard Apprentices over several centuries provided enough personnel for golem production. Otherwise, relying on Sunan alone, he could not produce this many golems, even if he worked to exhaustion.

As for the Demon Pattern Knight Order, the number of official members is relatively small.

Even with less than sixty thousand, they are all elites.

The minimum standard for official members of the Demon Pattern Knight Order is Senior Grand Knight, equipped with Magic Pattern Armor, ensuring their combat power crosses into the level of Legendary Knights without exception.

In other words, this constitutes fifty-eight thousand warriors at the Legendary Knight Level!

The Sub-dragon Knights, as the ace core, are outstanding among Legendary Knights and serve as the battlefield’s unstoppable sharp blades.

Purely in terms of combat power, even three large Golem Legions combined aren’t a match for the Demon Pattern Knight Order!

Moreover, the Demon Pattern Knight Order has over five hundred thousand backup members.

Though lacking Magic Pattern Armor, the backups are still Knights or Grand Knights, more than sufficient to form regular corps, not much inferior to the Golem Legions.

"Increase the task rewards for producing Magic Pattern Armor, strive to manufacture as much as possible, aiming for the official members of the Demon Pattern Knight Order to exceed sixty thousand by next year."

Sunan instructed, and after Lize acknowledged, he shifted the topic.

"And what about the fleet?"

Lize replied, "Considering the low probability of sea battles, only five naval fleets have been established. It should be sufficient as long as there aren’t widespread naval engagements."

Sunan nodded slightly, as naval battles are rare in planar wars unless the attacked plane is predominantly oceanic.

But such a chance is low.

Even if it happens, the Star Alliance’s logistical strength can rapidly deploy several naval fleets.

Though the naval fleets haven’t expanded, another type of magic ship has become a focus of the Star Alliance’s expansion efforts.

That is, the Flying Demon Ship!

These magical ships have versatile uses, suitable for naval, land, and air battles, and can quickly transport troops.

In the Starlight Continent, the Star Alliance can efficiently transport troops via a teleportation network, but once it moves to attack other planes, this advantage is lost.

With this in mind, Sunan ordered the formation of the flying fleet.

Another critical consideration was that the flying fleet could effectively counter Wizard Towers.

Before the Starlight Wizard Tower is upgraded to a large Wizard Tower, Sunan doesn’t plan to build a second tower.

Any extra resources are to be focused on the Starlight Wizard Tower. fгeewebnovёl.com

But thus, in terms of large-scale war constructs, the Alliance’s power is a bit weak.

Previously, due to planar blockades, the Dark Throne couldn’t send multiple Wizard Towers to invade the Starlight Continent simultaneously.

However, once the blockade lifts, and the Dark Throne invades massively, Sunan is sure it won’t be just one Wizard Tower that arrives!

Relying solely on the Starlight Wizard Tower would be arduous, necessitating assistance.

The flying fleet is the result of meticulous consideration.

Magic ships with flying capabilities and long-range strike firepower are undoubtedly the best-armed forces against Wizard Towers in the current stage.

Though their overall strength pales compared to Wizard Towers, they win by numbers, allowing for swarm tactics.

Furthermore, developing flying demon ships isn’t hard, merely adding a knockoff ultra-small Floating Ring to the traditional magic ships while enhancing the long-range firepower.

As of today, the Star Alliance’s flying fleet has already taken shape.
