Lucas hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's possible, but our manpower there is not much, you probably won't be treated as an Assistant Legion Commander if you go over."

Because Duke holds a Level 1 Black Sail Honor Badge, he enjoys the treatment of an Assistant Legion Commander in the plane wars, which allows him to have a Slave Creature Legion follow and protect him throughout.

However, under the allocation and deployment of the United Legion, most of the Black Sail Third Legion is not in the Buren Continent.

If Duke goes to the Buren Continent, they won't be able to allocate many personnel for protection.

"These things aren't that important to me, as long as I can get to the Sixth United Legion," Duke said.

In the Buren Continent, five United Legion forces are distributed there, and the Sixth United Legion is just one of them.

"Okay, but you need to be careful yourself, the natives in the Devourer Plane have strong power," Lucas reminded.

For him, this was a minor matter; allocating to the Sixth United Legion was no problem.

It's just that Duke is clearly a research-oriented wizard, or at least Lucas sees him this way; he believes such talent shouldn't go to the battlefield to kill, as doing research can provide greater value.

Level 1 Arcanists are not numerous in Black Sail; rather, arcanist wizards in Black Sail are considered talents.

...

Two days later, after making some preparations, Duke came aboard the Elizabeth.

Within these two days, Lucas also helped handle his paperwork, and now Duke was a member of the Sixth United Legion.

Each United Legion has about one hundred thousand official wizards, mainly from the Four Great Wizard Organizations, and also includes members from wizard clans, commerce associations, and various forces.

As for the Slave Creature Legions under each United Legion, their numbers are not fixed — ranging from a few million to tens of millions.

Mainly, it depends on the internal composition of these United Legions; if wizard clans or commerce associations want more share, they will often contribute more force, thus providing more slave creatures.

In the Sixth United Legion, there are also many Black Sail people — about one-fifth, but the proportion of the Third Legion is small, only about a thousand people.

Swain took most of the Third Legion to other continents, and his focus is not on the Buren Continent; he is not responsible for here.

Notably, even within the United Legion, Swain holds a high position as the Legion Commander of the First United Legion.

This is because, besides his demigod-level power, his strategic command abilities are also acknowledged by other wizard organizations, making his leadership as the Legion Commander of the First United Legion almost unchallenged.

The Sixth United Legion that Duke is about to join is commanded by Ms. Nitiel of the Thorn Holy Tower.

She is also a demigod-level strong figure, and in the Sixth United Legion, the Thorn Holy Tower and Silver Hand people are the main force.

This is also why Grace arranged Vivian here, as there are many Thorn Holy Tower people inside which makes it easier to look after Vivian.

On the Elizabeth, after undergoing rounds of scrutiny, Duke stood on the teleportation array leading to the Devourer Plane.

During the plane war period, everything is extremely stringent.

The giant ring-shaped teleportation array is engraved on the cold alloy ground, with complex energy circuits flowing with heart-pounding ghostly blue light, emitting a deep and steady hum.

The air is filled with the ozone smell typical of high-concentration spatial energy and the faint scorched odor from heated metal.

Duke stands at the center of the teleportation array, at the core node where the energy converges most.

"Teleport coordinates locked: Devourer Plane, Buren Continent, Eastern War Zone, Goose Peak Castle forward base." The wizard responsible for hosting the teleportation array glanced at Duke and said, further confirming the information.

Duke nodded, indicating the information was accurate, and the wizard beside him immediately activated the teleportation array.

After a brief period of absolute void where all senses are lost, accompanied by a slight dizziness, the tactile sensation of firm ground returns, and the surrounding scene abruptly switches.

Cold air laden with the scent of gun smoke and faint bloody smell floods the nostrils; the wind-swept sound of the Elizabeth is replaced by chaotic yet orderly noises.

The distant energy engine roars, the clashing of metal parts, the uniform footsteps of patrol squads, and some large creature's deep, oppressive breathing.

Duke squints slightly, adapting to the change in light.

He stands in a teleportation hall that resembles the style of the Elizabeth but is smaller in scale, appearing more rugged and solid, the teleportation array beneath his feet gently dimming.

The hall's surroundings are no longer smooth alloy walls but constructed from enormous, roughly cut gray-black rocks, covered with a layer of pale blue energy-reinforced film.

Overhead, multiple magic lamps emitting cold white strong light hang, illuminating the hall as bright as day.

Several wizards clad in robes bearing the Thorn Holy Tower emblem guard around the teleportation array, their eyes sharply inspecting Duke, who just completed the teleportation.

Then comes identity verification, Duke brings out not only the Black Sail Badge but also a document stamped with the United Legion seal.

"Black Sail Third Legion, Level 1 Mage, Duke. Authority confirmed, welcome to Goose Peak Castle forward base." Upon verification, the wizards step aside to show the way, "The exit is through the left corridor, the base command and Sixth United Legion camp are in the fortress's main area, signs are along the way."

Duke nods slightly, without speaking, stepping toward the corridor indicated by the soldiers.

Through a heavy metal gate flickering with energy barriers, the view suddenly opens up.

He stands inside the city of Goose Peak Castle, distinct from the exotic, chaotic, and rough city in his memory.

Previously crowded and messy streets and low buildings were thoroughly cleared, replaced by neatly planned, broad roads paved with hardened materials and angular temporary barracks, warehouses, and fortifications.

The towering main building of the Leighton Clan castle still stands but is covered with silver-gray metal armor plates, numerous energy conduits wrap around it like vines, and atop it are several giant magic-guided cannons emitting terrifying energy fluctuations, their muzzles coldly directed towards Toulouse's territory.

In the sky, small floating airships occasionally fly over, casting huge shadows.

On the streets, squads of wizards in various wizard organization uniforms hurriedly pass by, the atmosphere tense yet efficient.
