Wizard: I'm leveling up by AFK in another world

Upon hearing this, Green naturally dared not respond further.

Having worked for Balmain for so many years, he knew that his boss was self-controlled and had a very strong sense of self-respect.

Salos must have had a lot of complaints about demoting him to the logistics department.

But they were sent by the Tauri to assist Saros, whose fate is unknown. It's hard to explain, isn't it?

Green also dared not ask the question.

"Alright, let's talk about the latest developments of those indigenous people."

Green took a deep breath and composed himself.

"The native resistance is far more tenacious than we anticipated. Both elves and orcs are frantically sending out hunting parties to hunt down lone wizard apprentices in the wilderness and forests."

"However, their strategies have recently diverged significantly."

Green made a few movements on the control panel, and the green dot on the sand table quickly enlarged, representing a forest area in the northeast direction.

"After the fall of the royal court, several elven remnants have maintained a certain size, gathering remnants of their forces from various places. Due to the lack of manpower at the base, we can only let them do as they please."

"In recent days, we have observed that they have increased their marching speed and are converging in the same direction."

Green pointed to the forest on the sand table: "All indications suggest that a highly influential elf is regrouping. Based on our analysis, they are likely planning a large-scale attack on the base."

"A large-scale offensive?"

Balmain chuckled as if he had heard a funny joke.

"Without the World Tree, with their meager first-level holy domain, they probably wouldn't even be able to break through the close-in weapon network of a starship."

"Let them gather. The more the better. It will save us from having to search the whole mountainside for them later. As long as they dare to come, we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Balman gave the order casually, completely disregarding the elves' counterattack.

The Silver Tree Elves' civilization system is quite advanced even on the surface of the stars, which also means that wizards are extremely familiar with their system.

All their actions can be found in the wizard's database; there will be no changes beyond the calculations.

In contrast, those savage orcs were more worthy of his concern.

These guys have been digging tunnels in the Ironblood Continent for so many years, they probably don't even know what the pioneers have hidden underneath.

Green's words confirmed his concerns: "The orcs' situation is very unusual."

"In our original calculations, the orcs should have done what the elves are doing now. After all, our starship crashed in their sacred volcanic zone."

"As it turns out, those orcs who attacked the base earlier were just a fanatical rabble. The main force of the Golden Orcs has been well preserved and lies dormant in the vast volcanic zone. They have not shown any intention of gathering up until now."

"However, new intelligence indicates that a large number of Golden Beast Clan troops have begun to frequently move between volcanoes, with their destination being their dozens of sacred mountains."

Green zoomed in on the red dots on the sand table: "Based on the geological surveys and historical research conducted before the conquest, we believe that these sacred mountains hold something that the orcs believe can turn the tide of the war."

"Command has issued a mission, sending a standard combat team to each sacred mountain. We believe they will bring back the intelligence we need soon."

After listening to the report, Balmain fell into a brief silence.

"The Holy Mountain... to turn the tide of the battle..." he murmured to himself.

Although he knew nothing about the situation inside the volcano, his years of experience in conquering other worlds made him quickly realize that something was wrong.

"Pass down the order: no group is permitted to approach these sacred mountains without my permission."

"Recall those squads that were sent out if possible. As for those that have lost contact, just consider them dead."

"No matter what the orcs are doing inside, as long as we defend the starship, we don't need to worry about the level three Leviathan coming."

"The base's top priority now is to gather personnel and solidify its defenses."

Green immediately wrote down the order, preparing to transmit it through a magic circle.

The report is now essentially complete.

But Balman didn't let Green leave. He turned around and looked at Green with a meaningful gaze.

"There's one more thing, Green."

"Besides me, have you found any trace of the other second-level wizards in the legion... such as Reno, or Helena?"

Green froze, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead.

He knew that this was the issue that Balmain was most concerned about after he came out of quarantine today.

However, none of the second-level wizards were people he could afford to offend.

"Since the crash landing, we've used all sorts of time-reversal and soul-locating magic," Green said, head bowed. "But... there's been no response."

"Theoretically, we can only speculate that those adults are no longer in the Silver Tree Ring."

"A bunch of idiots."

Balman snorted, but couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes.

His thoughts inevitably drifted back to the day the Goalkeeper's railgun was fired.

A deep blue beam of light swept across the star field, shattering the entire world, and Thalos disappeared along with the elven father god.

The several second-level wizards who invaded with him immediately set their sights on the World Tree and rushed there.

Only Balman remained aboard the crashed starship, watching helplessly as they disappeared into the dense canopy of trees.

Soon the World Tree withered, and the group disappeared without a trace.

Balman still feels a pang of fear when he recalls that moment.

These colleagues may be dead, or they may have fallen into some alternate dimension torn apart by the railgun along with Thalos.

But in any case, the current situation is quite clear.

Balman, who remained on the starship, not only survived the catastrophe but also became the only surviving, highest-ranking wizard in the entire legion!

The leadership of the legion was like a crown that fell from the sky and landed firmly on his head.

"Sir?" Green cautiously interrupted Balman's recollection, noticing the constantly shifting expression on his face.

Balman snapped out of his daze, his eyes losing their sparkle, and his unfathomable coldness returned.

"It's nothing. Since we can't find them, let's just treat them as casualties."

He straightened up from the sand table and looked around at everyone in the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some news to announce."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at the legion's new leader, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely strange.

"I discovered this while I was in seclusion..."

With a wave of his hand, a strange projection of a star field appeared above the sand table:

Near the blue dot representing the Silver Tree Ring, there is a large circle of black vacuum.

Beyond the black circle lies the glittering constellation of stars.

"The gatekeeper's railgun not only shattered the Silver Tree Ring, but it also shattered the surrounding space."

"I regret to inform you that we are now in the Dark Domain."
