Chapter 1632: Barrier
Li Yao valued two factories the most. Starting today, the Withered Sun Legion now possesses its own Alchemy Laboratory, capable of steadily producing corresponding potions and medicines.
Moreover, with the techniques of the High Elves, it wouldn’t be too difficult to fuse the technology of gargoyles and magical puppets to create new flying puppets. Taking the Sun Holy Temple marks the complete establishment of the Withered Sun Legion’s foundation.
At this moment, the Magician walked into the hall, his face full of delight: "Sir, I just personally tested the magical node. The connection with the Sunwell is completely normal. Although the Sunwell’s energy has been corrupted and can’t be absorbed by us, by relying on the core node of the Sun Holy Temple, the defense array here can be fully activated."
Li Yao nodded: "So what you’re saying is, the Sun Holy Temple is actually the magical hub for the entire Ghost Land?"
The Magician confirmed: "Indeed. Based on the documents left behind and my own investigations, this place truly radiates magic throughout the Ghost Land. It’s quite surprising, I always thought the Tower of the Windwalker was the hub here."
Everyone deeply agreed. Though the Sun Holy Temple holds symbolic significance—the coronation of the Sun King must take place here—the stationed troops here are relatively few, making its practical value less than its symbolic importance.
In contrast, the Tower of the Windwalker is different. It is the core controlled by the Windrunner Family in the Ghost Land, serving as the land-based bridgehead against the Amani trolls.
Although the trolls have been suppressed, minor skirmishes and small wars are ongoing, and there are even times when sudden raids aim to seize control of the Ghost Land.
The Tower of the Windwalker, situated near the coastline, manages to endure even under the toughest of circumstances because of its access to naval supplies. This is what keeps the Tower of the Windwalker standing strong, firmly pinning down the trolls of the Amani Empire, forcing them to stay confined within their capital city.
Naturally, everyone assumed the central node linking the magic of the Sunwell would be located there.
This is also why, upon hearing that the Tower of the Windwalker had been occupied by a force of undead from a different dimension, Li Yao wanted to attack the Tower of the Windwalker first.
