156: Digestion and the Launch of the Third Front

Eric's Mage Tower disappeared amidst the spatial fluctuations, leaving only Brian's core personnel within the Verdant Source Sanctuary.

The secondary plane had been successfully anchored, and the rewards had been distributed. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Brian scanned the crowd, his gaze first settling on his family.

His father, Lyle, had an even steadier aura, and his mother, Judy, was beaming with the joy of having her aptitude improved. His three wives, Alice, Emily, and Lucia, were radiant, and his older siblings, younger sister, Fannie, and their partners were all in high spirits.

Gude the butler, Beethoven the civil official, and Draven the Knight Order leader—these three pillars of the territory—had particularly sharp eyes, clearly showing that the effects of the blessings had begun to manifest.

"Father, Mother," Brian began, his tone respectful, "the preliminary order of the Verdant Source has been established, but the subsequent governance and integration will require the family's effort. This is especially true for communication with the native races and the planning of the life source essence industry."

Lyle nodded steadily, "Don't worry, Brian. The Civil Affairs Office will quickly produce a feasible management plan. Beethoven already has some ideas."

Beethoven the civil official bowed slightly from the side, confirming this.

Judy also smiled gently, "Rest assured, leave the rear to us. With spiritual pupil - grace helping, and Gude and the others assisting, there won't be any problems!"

"Then I'll leave it to you all!"

Brian nodded, then looked toward his three wives and his younger sister, Fannie.

"Alice, you and Fannie can first familiarize yourselves with the environment here, especially the unique ecological zones. Perhaps it will also be beneficial for the early education of Lina and Kane."

The ladies readily agreed, filled with curiosity about this vibrant new world.

Next, he turned his gentle gaze toward his most capable assistants—the Spirit Eyes.

"Little Spirit Eyes, it's time to reallocate your duties!"

"Alright~ Master, please give us your orders!"

"spiritual pupil - heart, you will continue to stay by my side! spiritual pupil - guardian, you will be responsible for managing the territory and the two secondary planes! spiritual pupil - dawn, you will remain in the main tower laboratory to assist me! As for spiritual pupil - slaughter, spiritual pupil - grace, and spiritual pupil - seeker, the three of you will be responsible for piloting the three Mage Towers for three-pronged operations. They belong to the three of you from now on! All low-level planes will be your responsibility!"

"Also, spiritual pupil - heart, if the main tower needs to be deployed, you will be responsible for the operations of the main tower and the war room."

"Regarding spiritual pupil - guardian, I will have Eric construct another Mage Tower later for you to use when overseeing the rear territory!"

"Mhm, this division of labor is very clear!"

As Brian's words fell, the Spirit Eyes' eyes lit up. The new division of responsibilities made her feel novelty and excitement, and her unique personalities were revealed without reservation.

spiritual pupil - heart immediately floated to Brian's side, intimately linking her arm with his. The gold and silver spiral patterns on her wrist shimmered with joyful light.

"That's wonderful! I love staying by Master's side! Wherever Master goes, Heart goes! I guarantee I'll keep the main tower and the war room perfectly organized!"

Her smile was lively and thoughtful, full of dependence and reliability.

spiritual pupil - slaughter stepped forward. An invisible, sharp aura seemed to condense around her, and the blood butterfly pattern appeared even redder.

Her voice was cold and firm, "Three Mage Towers, sweeping across nine planes. Master, please await the good news."

In her brief words lay absolute confidence and execution power.

spiritual pupil - seeker was so excited she almost jumped up, the silver lightning pattern on her wrist intensely pulsating.

"This is great! Having my own Mage Tower! Doesn't this mean I can drive the tower straight to the entrance of the big marketplaces on various planes and set up a stall? Oh, wait, no, no, it's for conquest! And then do business afterward! Master, don't worry, I will fight brilliantly and sell the spoils cleanly!"

Her thinking was as unconventional and business-savvy as ever.

spiritual pupil - grace bowed slightly, her tone gentle but carrying an undeniable resilience.

"Grace accepts the command. I will pilot the Mage Tower well, providing the most timely support and comfort to the frontline soldiers. May my existence become the most reassuring rear for everyone."

The cherry blossom pattern on her wrist seemed to emit a tranquil fragrance.

spiritual pupil - guardian nodded steadily, her eyes filled with the determination to protect their home.

"Thank you for your trust, Master. Guardian will not fail the mission, coordinating the territory and secondary planes, ensuring the rear remains rock-solid. I look forward to the arrival of the new Mage Tower; the defense system will be even more complete then."

The blue-purple orchid on her wrist was like a silent guardian in the night.

spiritual pupil - dawn pushed up her non-existent glasses, a rational light flashing in her eyes.

"Understood. The main tower laboratory will fully support Master's research and serve as the hub for all technology. Any new technology samples sent back from the front lines will be analyzed by me immediately."

The purple-gold starry sky on her wrist seemed to contain endless mysteries.

The main body—spiritual pupil - source's consciousness—gently echoed in the minds of all individuals, like a tuning keynote chord.

"Duties are clear, the network operates smoothly. We are one, serving the Master."

Looking at the Spirit Eyes, who were varied in personality yet equally loyal and reliable, Brian smiled in satisfaction.

This division of labor not only maximized her respective strengths but also greatly improved efficiency, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming multi-front operations.

"Very good."

Brian put away his smile, his tone turning serious.

"spiritual pupil - slaughter, spiritual pupil - seeker, spiritual pupil - grace, you have three months to familiarize yourselves with and fully control the Mage Towers assigned to you, and to integrate the new command system. spiritual pupil - source will assist you with data synchronization and authority transfer."

"spiritual pupil - guardian, I will contact Eric as soon as possible to implement the new Mage Tower. Before that, you should coordinate the existing resources."

"spiritual pupil - dawn, continue to deepen your research into the core of the Verdant Source Sanctuary. I will also join you in the research later."

"spiritual pupil - heart, compile the latest intelligence on all low-level planes and assist me in formulating the plan schedule."

"Yes, Master!" Seven voices, carrying different inflections, responded with equal firmness.

In the days that followed, Brian's forces operated with unprecedented efficiency, like a precisely wound clock.

Inside the three allocated Mage Towers, light flowed as control authority was smoothly transitioned and adaptive modifications were made to better suit the combat styles of spiritual pupil - slaughter, spiritual pupil - seeker, and spiritual pupil - grace.

The movement of personnel and supplies between the main world territory, the Dawn Plane, and the Verdant Source became more frequent, and stable flight paths and teleportation channels were established.

The laboratory overseen by spiritual pupil - dawn worked around the clock, and the preliminary report on the analysis of the Verdant Source Sanctuary core had already begun to arrive on Brian's desk.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Brian stood atop the main tower, with spiritual pupil - heart quietly attending by his side.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the void, seeing the nine marked low-level planes awaiting conquest.

Below, the three Mage Towers—initially modified by spiritual pupil - slaughter (severe style, dark coating), spiritual pupil - seeker (lively style, with slightly ornate decorations), and spiritual pupil - grace (gentle style, soft shield light)—were ready. A massive robot army was lined up around the towers, their murderous aura soaring into the sky.

"Master, Phase One of the Sword Sharpening Plan is complete," spiritual pupil - heart reported softly, holding the finalized battle plan in her hand.

Brian took a deep breath, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and issued the command.

"Order: spiritual pupil - slaughter, spiritual pupil - seeker, spiritual pupil - grace, proceed according to the predetermined plan, splitting into three routes, targeting—low-level planes numbered A-01 to A-03!"

"Go forth!"

"As you command!" Three responses, carrying different emotions but equally full of fighting spirit, were transmitted through the Spirit Eye network.

In the next moment, the three Mage Towers tore through space, carrying an endless torrent of steel, and sailed toward three different coordinates.

Brian's assembly-line conquest plan officially kicked off with a powerful three-pronged advance!

The ripples in the Boundary Sea would soon surge into a new tide because of these three expeditionary forces led by unique intelligent life forms.
