Daniel understood that this was the position Eliak had found for himself within the team.
He had joined later and was not part of the Wizard Seed, so he could not compete with Daniel, Natalie, and the other three.
However, the Wizard Legion was their team's most important asset, as those who were selected were the top apprentices from the academy. To equip them, Daniel would provide them with the best treatment.
It was the trump card among their cards; if it were in Eliak's hands, it would mean that he was the foremost among the five, receiving significant attention. This status was already sufficient for a newcomer like him.
With Eliak's help, Daniel was able to relax completely and began busying himself with the construction of the Wizard Tower. In just ten hours, the Wizard Tower was fully completed.
At this time, the Flame Throne had undergone a transformation, with beautiful and mysterious patterns appearing on the deck, resembling flowers.
This would actually be the standing point for Wizard Apprentices during battles, directly connected to the energy transmission line of the Fire Element Pool below.
When battles commenced, energy from the Fire Element Pool would continuously supply those standing above for their use.
On both sides of the ship, there appeared numerous holes the size of human heads, densely packed with over a thousand of them, looking like fierce eyes ready to devour anyone.
This was another area for attacking aside from the deck. Inside were individual Cabins, which could easily accommodate people.
When they needed to engage in battle, they could simply roll out and join without having to run up to the deck.
It was simple and convenient, saving several to dozens of seconds in casting spells. Saving such time during combat was practically a game-changer.
Moreover, these holes were difficult to attack even with spells, ensuring the safety of those inside.
When not in use, the holes would automatically close, providing enough resting space for those inside and preventing others from prying into their privacy.
Looking at the completed Wizard Tower, Daniel and his companions gathered together to discuss when to set off to defeat Myles and resolve the siege situation at Aolek Fortress.
While discussing, a Wizard Apprentice suddenly burst in, pointing outside and shouting, "Not good! You all should go take a look; there's movement across the way."
A few of them were startled. How could there be a problem at this critical moment? They hurried outside to check. As Daniel stepped out onto the deck, he noticed a group of Wizard Apprentices, who had seemingly appeared from nowhere, joining forces with Myles' people.
This brought the number of Wizard Apprentices below to over 8,000, slightly more than their own numbers.
This clearly demonstrated how much the Six Great Wizard Towers feared the newly emerged Wizard Tower.
Although Myles had not breached Aolek Fortress before, he had been on the offensive, pressuring Daniel and preventing them from stepping out of Aolek Fortress even once.
Now, just because a new Wizard Tower had appeared, they had increased their forces by over 4,000 Wizard Apprentices, more than doubling their original personnel.
This was all due to the emergence of the Wizard Tower.
Suddenly bringing forth such a large number of personnel meant that other places would clearly have to tighten their resources significantly. Just this contribution alone was enough for the academy to gain an advantage in the upcoming war.
However, this posed some difficulties for Daniel, making it hard for him to open up the situation at once.
Myles watched as the reinforcements arrived. Since receiving the news, his previously furrowed brow had finally relaxed into a smile.
With so many people, what could the Wizard Tower do? Even if they had it, they could still wear him down.
Especially upon seeing the people in front, his smile grew even warmer.
"Jennifer, welcome! With your support, I feel much more at ease."
How could he not be happy? Jennifer was another Apprentice Leader from a different Wizard Tower. With their combined efforts, there was no problem they couldn't solve.
"You may feel at ease, but I'm quite worried about what's behind us. What's the situation now? Otherwise, we should launch an assault today and take down Aolek Fortress no matter what.
As long as we eliminate Aolek Fortress as a base, I don't believe they can come up with any other tricks."
Myles's movement stalled; he wished it were different, but ever since he received news about the Wizard Tower, he had launched three or four attacks in succession, resulting in thousands of casualties among his subordinates. To achieve his goal, he had to exhaust all his trump cards.
However, the Aolek Fortress still stood strong and unharmed.
It was not easy to succeed; if it were, he would have breached it long ago instead of waiting until now.
But he couldn't express this openly. He mentally explained the situation to the other party and prepared to continue the assault. Today was not feasible; coordinating so many people at once was no simple task.
One could not expect the Wizard Apprentice to find a place to rest casually; otherwise, with their arrogant temperament, they would explode at any moment.
Natalie looked at the reinforcements with disappointment. "This is ridiculous. We were just about to launch an attack, and now reinforcements have arrived. How are we supposed to fight? If the Wizard Tower really takes off to attack, with so many of them, each person will struggle to bear the burden. Even if we win, we will suffer significant losses."
Daniel was no less aware of this. He frowned and thought for a moment. "Forget it; I have another idea. Follow me."
They returned to the control center of the Wizard Tower, which used to be the control center of the Flame Throne.
The technology here was very advanced. Daniel made no modifications; inside was a large three-dimensional image that displayed the situation around the Wizard Tower in real-time.
Inside, he directed the Wizard Tower to fly toward the back of the mountain.
This action caught Myles's attention. He pointed in the direction where the Wizard Tower was flying and said, "Quickly send someone to find out what he intends to do."
The Wizard Tower had remained stationary here for nearly ten hours without moving. Just as it was about to be completed, it suddenly took off—he found that hard to believe.
Someone was dispatched to investigate, but they were already too late.
Daniel commanded the Wizard Tower to fly until it reached a solitary peak surrounded by strange rocks.
As it approached within a few meters of the ground, the Wizard Tower slowly halted. A faint mechanical sound emanated from within as a long metallic leg extended from its base and landed on the ground with a thud, causing a gentle tremor. The Wizard Tower settled firmly on the ground and took a few steps forward before stopping again.
This leg was a mechanical limb that allowed the Wizard Tower to walk freely on land.
This can save two-thirds of the magic expenditure for the Wizard Tower, allowing the Fire Element Pool to gradually increase its energy reserves while moving.
In fact, the Wizard Tower only needs five mechanical giant legs to maintain balanced movement, while the remaining seven mechanical giant legs are reserved to deal with potential targeted attacks from enemies.
Immediately, Daniel flew out of the Wizard Tower and ran to a nearby boulder to cast a spell.
Suddenly, two enormous hands appeared in the air. Under Daniel's command, they tightly embraced the boulder and exerted force, causing the boulder to shatter into countless fist-sized stones that fell to the ground.
A group of people watched in confusion, not understanding what Daniel was trying to do.
Daniel's voice came through. "Hurry up! What are you all standing there for? Load all these stones into the Wizard Tower. Move quickly."
Although the group did not know his intentions, they realized he had a plan and agreed to help, each using their abilities to load the rubble into the Wizard Tower.
Daniel did not remain idle either; he ran to another boulder and proceeded to shatter it into stones.
He was preparing more stones to load into the Wizard Tower.
