Chapter 946 - Odin’s Forces (1/2)

“Sky City’s floating city is their supreme array masterpiece. Their countless floating forts and war fortresses are their outstanding weapons. Powerful arrays are needed to achieve something like that.

“Most of the mages of Sky City have some knowledge of arrays. Even when selecting apprentices to nurture, talent in the field of arrays has always been an important factor. The people recruited from outside are always alchemists that specialize in arrays. They never seek mages, as they would nurture their own.

“Twenty years ago, the Sky City found a new plane, and it was said that this was a small-scale Wind Plane with a Heaven Rank Storm Elemental Overlord. It was so powerful that Sky City greatly suffered.

“Killing that Storm Elemental was very difficult, even for a similarly ranked powerhouse. Because of this, Sky City’s development of that plane had been unable to proceed, and they kept suffering losses.

“Ultimately, in a last fit of anger, they gathered a large number of alchemists specialized in arrays, and using the floating city as a foundation, they spent an entire year arranging a huge array formation to continuously extract the power of the plane to provide energy for the floating city.

“Within twenty years, the power of that plane went down several by several stages, while the Wind Elemental Overlord fell by three ranks.

“Based on that speed, that plane will thoroughly collapse within a few dozen years, and with so much energy backing the Sky City, that floating city will be able to display even more power.

“Their power in the field of arrays reached the top of the Odin Kingdom. It is very terrifying. If we meet the floating fortress in the Raging Flame Battlefield, we had best not clash with them…”

Jouyi gave some information regarding Sky City, including some of its secrets, startling Lin Yun.

To use an array to start to extract the power of a plane, they would need to spend at least a year, regardless of the number of alchemists. This showed just how troublesome this was.

Although that method couldn’t compare with Bill George’s, as a force that wasn’t one of the top-notch forces of the Odin Kingdom, it was enough to show how formidable their mastery of alchemy was.

Jouyi and Harren knew how dangerous this trip to the Raging Flame Battlefield was. Before even considering how much they might harvest, they would have to face the Raging Flame Beastmen and the Odin Kingdom, these two formidable enemies. If they were careless, they would suffer huge losses.

But they couldn’t just choose not go to the Raging Flame Battlefield. If they couldn’t fight for benefits there, they would sink even further towards being defeated.

After handing over the matters of the forts, Lin Yun took his subordinates and followed after Harren and Jouyi.

The entrance of the Raging Flame Battlefield was in the most desolate Ocean of Death.

It had “ocean” in its name, but it didn’t have a single drop of water. It was just like a desert with a vile environment and no natural resources.

During the day, the temperature would be extreme enough to cook an egg, even hotter than high noon in a blistering summer elsewhere.

And at night, it became even colder than in winter, and the chill wind would cut like a knife.

Even the sturdy Black Iron Beastmen could freeze to death during the night in the Ocean of Death.

Thus, no one occupied this territory, leaving it growing wild and full of dangers. If not for the entrance to the Raging Flame Battlefield being there, no one would come to such a place.

According to the legends, the barren Ocean of Death was formed because the Raging Flame Battlefield was absorbing the power of the Raging Flame Plane there, but no one could confirm this.

When Harren and Jouyi arrived with Lin Yun, the forces of the Odin Kingdom were all already there, and some powerhouses of the Black Tower and Cloud Tower had also arrived ahead of time.

The group of people was very scattered, and there was a clear distinction between the Odin Kingdom and the Andlusa Kingdom.

After coming, Haren took the initiative to introduce Lin Yun to the others.

“Our Andlusa Kingdom only has four forces. Aside from the royal family led by the Azurewave Sword Saint, there are only three forces. The six forces on the opposite side are the forces of the Odin Kingdom.

“Do you see those tents with the violet flower mark? Those are the people from the Odin Kingdom’s royal family. Their strength is very difficult to estimate because they only dispatched their royal guards when attacking the Beastmen’s forts. Only two 9th Rank Archmages made a move. It was also said that the person dispatched was a prince of the Odin Kingdom.
