After Ross infused his inner energy into the teleportation array, over a thousand beastmen within the fortress's array range were all teleported hundreds of kilometers away to the wilderness.

Eight thousand more beastmen remained inside and outside the fortress, still resisting the Slave Legion's attack with difficulty.

The temporary teleportation array constructed by Ross couldn't send everyone away; sending out these over a thousand had already cost him his life.

The ensuing battle had no suspense; the brutal slaughter continued until dawn before gradually subsiding.

The remaining beastmen either died or were captured, and the entire Moon Shadow City had completely fallen under Black Sail's control.

And they didn't lose a single wizard; the only cost was some slave creatures.

After the battle ended, the Slave Creature Legion began sweeping through the entire city, collecting all valuable items, which were handed over to Black Sail's wizards.

The captured beastmen were sent by space airships to the slave creature area in the space fortress, where they would be branded with the slave mark, thereby becoming part of the Slave Creature Legion.

These beastmen who became slave creatures might even participate in future battles, wielding blades against their own kin.

However, the wizards generally would not do this, because slave creatures need to learn some things to better cooperate with other slave creatures in completing tasks.

More importantly, having slave creatures wage war against their kin would evoke significant resistance from the depths of their souls, making control somewhat troublesome.

When there are enough slave creature troops, the wizards generally wouldn't send these beastmen to participate in the war this time.

As the war began, slave creatures continuously died or were injured.

Those slave creatures who were lightly injured would directly return to the camp to heal and rest.

If the injuries were too serious to continue fighting in a short time, they would be sent onto space shuttles to return to the space fortress for treatment and healing.

Duke was responsible for refining magic potions in the space fortress during this time, specifically working on a secondary potion called Quick Healing Potion.

This was a pale yellow potion, which could be used both internally and externally, exhibiting particularly good effects on external injuries.

For typical surface wounds, applying one Quick Healing Potion would cause the wound to rapidly heal and recover under the potion's effect.

Wounds healed by this potion usually leave no scars; those with slightly stronger physiques could even fully recover on the same day.

[Quick Healing Potion level up, Spiritual Power +0.1]

[Quick Healing Potion: LV2 (1/70)]

Unknowingly while busy, Duke raised the level of this potion to LV2, with a surge of knowledge about this potion flooding into his mind.

The materials for potion refining were naturally provided by Black Sail; each magic potion refined was documented, and contributions were settled uniformly for him in the end.

This batch of first-class wizard apprentices, including Duke, had to stay for at least three months, after which they could return to Black Sail or choose to stay.

Duke took this opportunity to grind proficiency, as he didn't have to pay for the materials.

Moreover, the materials given were extra, accounting for the failure rate.

Duke aimed for success in each refinement, pocketing all leftover materials.

Black Sail didn't mind this either, as they weren't bothered to calculate and precisely distribute materials, regarding this as some benefits for the wizard apprentices.

Potion refining was just a temporary task; the apprentices were distributed to different places based on their situations.

Merrick was directly assigned to the alchemy laboratory side, tasked with some odd jobs.

Duke was in the magic potion laboratory area, specifically the most basic lab.

The space fortress housed numerous large-scale magic potion laboratories, able to support the refinement of most potions.

According to Merrick, once the situation of the Beastman Plane stabilized, they would also head there.

However, they didn't need to engage in frontline warfare, but were responsible for guarding, managing cities, resource points, or clearing remaining forces.

Upon learning this, Duke cherished his current time for potion refining even more.

After the sun set seven times on the Beastman Plane, Duke maxed out his Quick Healing Potion skill.

[Quick Healing Potion level up, Spiritual Power +0.1, free attribute points +1]

[Quick Healing Potion: LV5 (Feature: Accelerated Healing)]

[Accelerated Healing: The Quick Healing Potion you refine can make wounds heal faster]

Simultaneously reaching this skill's max level, Duke received his next assignment.

He would follow the Fifth Brigade of the Third Legion to guard a place called Moon Shadow City.

This was also where Master Land would go, with Duke and Merrick accompanying his team.

Reportedly, Moon Shadow City was surrounded by rich mines producing a magic metal called Golden Scale Celestial Iron.

Golden Scale Celestial Iron possessed extremely high strength, very suitable for crafting various magic metal armors or defense-related alchemy creations.

Master Land, encountering this magic metal for the first time, wished to study it.

Moon Shadow City had long been captured, now serving as one of their supply points and a resting area for many wizards returning from the front.

The next morning, Duke and Merrick came to a spacious room where many space airships were docked.

Previously, Duke had seen these space airships from afar, appearing small at the time.

Yet upon closer inspection now, they found these space airships enormous, requiring at least two football fields for parking space.

This area could roughly accommodate more than thirty space airships.

The specific space airship Duke boarded contained around three hundred wizards, mostly official wizards with only a dozen wizard apprentices.

These wizard apprentices were students, descendants, or somehow related to the official wizards.

Once everyone settled, the space airship began its journey, moving slowly along a long passage for several minutes until the magic metal doors ahead slowly opened, allowing the airship to fly out from there.

Observing outside the window, Duke realized he was truly amidst the void of the Endless Plane, beside the vast space fortress.

In the distance was the planet of the Beastman Plane, with the fissure torn open by Morgan still present, many wizards working near the fissure, responsible for maintaining its expansion, preventing it from automatically healing.
