The combat power and threat of the Lava Warriors were indeed formidable, but they were not without weaknesses. Once they activated their Lava Armor, their mobility became a major issue. Hence, this branch of the armed forces excels in defense rather than attack.

Of course, this is only relative, after all, they are a tier-five branch. If it were a tier-four branch, their speed definitely wouldn’t match theirs.

For the upcoming battles, Du You wasn’t worried since there weren’t many hostile tier-five experts.

Next came the Fire Lizard Cavalry, a remarkable branch. Mounted on a fiery red lizard capable of running and leaping, though unable to breathe fire, they could attack with claws and teeth, each strike enhanced with powerful flame attacks.

The synergy with the knights’ own combat power was pronounced. Although the Fire Lizard Cavalry didn’t use magic like the Ice Thorn Dragon Knights, they made use of Dou Qi, and their close combat prowess was not inferior at all.

The feet of the fire lizards had suckers, allowing them to climb walls or other smooth surfaces silently. Their short-term flying capability was even superior to that of the Ice Thorn Dragons, showing that their overall combat power was actually not lacking.

Shaliya was not like Du You, who only conducted a few tests then stopped. Shaliya and Luo Jia, accompanied by their forces, continually conducted various experiments to fully understand these new branches. The upcoming battles were of great importance to both of them.

Du You didn’t mind; the next day, the building adjacent to the Flame Tower, the Skybreaker Mage Tower, was finally completed.

Right next to the Flame Tower, a shorter tower was erected, differing from the Flame Tower’s fiery red color. The Skybreaker Mage Tower was grey and unassuming in appearance.

But the power of space amassed in the tower was absolutely real. "Master, it’s spatial power! It seems that Skybreaker Mages really are Space Mages," Lin Yucha said, noting that Space Mages were rare among mages.

Perhaps their abilities were somewhat limited, but their combat power or supporting abilities were unquestionably strong.

Du You smiled, "Let’s check the panel, and we’ll test it in a bit." Du You immediately opened the panel.

Skybreaker Mage Tower (Tier-five):

Space Formation Mage Level 43: 50 people/month, full price 2500 Blue Crystal Coins/person

Skybreaker Mage Level 48: 50 people/month, full price 5000 Blue Crystal Coins/person

"Oh ha, hit the jackpot again," Du You laughed loudly. This was a continued stroke of luck, landing two tier-five branches. And although the Space Formation Mages’ level wasn’t high, the word ’Formation Mage’ explained a lot.

Looking at the prices, wow, that was truly expensive. But there was no choice; he would likely have to buy them at full price this time. His territory didn’t have people with spatial abilities nor spatial type equipment.

He checked his Blue Crystal Coin reserves, and it seemed sufficient for now. After all, Central City had been accumulating wealth for a long time. However, with the difference in the flow of time between the two worlds, it was uncertain if this would be adequate in the future. If it wasn’t enough, it seemed he would need to aim for occupying a tier-five Derived World.

Of course, with his current strength, that still seemed a bit out of reach. "Let’s summon them and see," Du You waved, recruiting all one hundred tier-five Space Mages with spatial attributes.

The Formation Mages didn’t need a test to show that they had no combat power, even though they too were tier-five, but with only supportive abilities. They could construct Space Transmission Arrays and produce basic spatial equipment; beyond that, not much use.

However, this did not mean the Formation Mages were useless; on the contrary, they were treasures. "From now on, we’ll protect these Space Formation Mages with all our might; our territory will have a fine output," he noted.

As long as the Space Formation Mages kept producing spatial equipment to sell, there would never be a shortage of Blue Crystal Coins. Thus, there seemed no need for him to seek out a tier-five Derived World. Moreover, his company’s staff could strengthen their cohesion using these items. Items crafted by tier-five Formation Mages didn’t have to all be tier-five, equipment below tier-five was also possible.

"Master, the Formation Mages seem to be able to create Space Transmission Arrays. Why don’t we build one in our own city? Having the alliance build it involves too many requirements, we wouldn’t meet them within ten years. But if we build it ourselves..."

Lin Yucha had looked into the relevant data. If they could build the transmission array themselves without exhausting the alliance’s resources, their qualification evaluation would be significantly lowered.

The alliance would just need to verify that the Space Transmission Array works properly and the city poses no special dangers. Generally, if fast, it could be approved within a month.

"Is that so? I got it, let them give it a try later. The materials needed, well, we’ll collect them when the time comes. These materials are not difficult for our company to gather." Du You looked at the basic materials, not too troublesome. Spatial materials were hard to find in certain worlds, but on Earth, they could be bought with Crystal Coins.

Next up were the elite Skybreaker Mages. Du You discovered that these Skybreaker Mages had only three skills. Although not many, their actual combat power was quite terrifying.

One was Instantaneous Movement, the first skill almost all spatial type mages needed to master. With this skill, no one could catch them. The flexibility of their spatial movement was even stronger than Du You’s Shadow Teleport.

This was the true application of teleportation by a Space Mage, not something he could compare with.

The second skill was just a Space Shield; the defensive power of a spatial attribute shield was incredibly strong, and even Ice Thorn Dragon Knights struggled to break it. With that time, Skybreaker Mages would have already left. Moreover, the shield could also be used to trap enemies within it, keeping them confined until the shield broke.

The last was an offensive spell, Space Blade, a simple spell that turned space into a released sharp blade. However, the Space Blade was extremely sharp, and after testing, Du You found that enemies of tier-five had a hard time defending against it.

Even experts of the same tier, or peak tier-five, facing such an attack, would do better to dodge; facing it head-on usually meant being sliced open. Although the Skybreaker Mage was only level 48, it was much stronger than many level 50 branches.

If it wasn’t for the high energy consumption of these skills, Du You would even dare to pit a pure Skybreaker Mage against a tier-six branch.

It seemed this was a secure bet, but the final battle hadn’t arrived yet, so Du You first had the Formation Mages prepare to build the Transmission Array in his city. As for the matters concerning the Space Formation Mages, he would leave that to Li Minglu to explain.
