High above, the remaining two Destroyer warships did not continue their destructive attacks.

Their mission was complete, clearing the largest obstacles, leaving the residual cleanup to the endless Slave Legion.

The two Destroyer warships hovered in the sky, silently watching the bloody advance below.

Several smaller, more agile floating airships flew from behind to hover above the Magma Giant remains.

Complex mechanical arms and harvesting devices extended from under the hull, emitting a low hum.

The mechanical arms precisely avoided the still-active slave creatures, reaching toward the core region of the giant remains.

They focused especially on the location of the head, which once burned with sun-like brilliance, and the energy core area that might exist in the chest, collecting samples.

The remains of a Level 3 strong entity, especially those elementalized body remnants, hold extremely high research value.

The structure of its rock skeleton, residual lava energy, and possibly not yet fully dissipated life essence are extremely valuable research materials and experimental subjects for Wizards.

The United Legion will not overlook any valuable spoils, even if they belong to a respected opponent.

Meanwhile, more robe-wearing individuals, evidently from the logistics and research departments of the legion, under the protection of Heavy Magic Golems and Wizards, began landing in relatively safe areas.

They quickly established temporary research outposts, using various alchemy instruments, starting onsite analysis of the preliminary samples collected from the giant remains, and directing the mechanical arms for more refined cutting and gathering.

In the observation post, Duke silently watched all of this.

He watched the once colossal giant being swarmed by ant-like creatures, coldly dissected and sampled by machines, while distant cities succumbed to flames and slaughter.

The fall of a Level 3 strong entity did not alter the outcome of the war; it merely added a heavy and cruel undertone to the conquest.

The gears of war, driven by wizardly intent, continued to grind forward coldly and efficiently.

With the complete collapse of the Iron Curtain Great Wall, the United Legion, like an overflowing flood, officially poured into the vast interior of the Toulouse domain.

The main body of the massive legion did not disperse, but rather, like an iron flood, rushed along the main thoroughfares straight to the capital of the Toulouse domain and its most critical resource points and military fortresses.

Their goal is to destroy all organized resistance and occupy the core areas.

The vast countryside, hills, and those scattered small to medium-sized towns and villages were divided into several zones, allocated to various battle groups within the United Legion to handle.

Duke and his team also received their task, the seventh squadron was divided into several small teams, each leading a batch of Slave Creature Legion to the designated areas to clear residual forces.

Generally, at such times, they do not encounter strong resistance forces, as people in the Toulouse domain began retreating the moment the Iron Curtain Wall was breached; hardly anyone stays behind to court death.

This clearance generally encounters ordinary people or weaker Awakened individuals.

During the clearance process, all spoils harvested belong to themselves, which has always been the wizard's practice.

For Duke and his squadron, this time is actually an opportunity to seize benefits.

With minimal risk and the potential to collect spoils, if luck favors them, the harvest can be extremely abundant.

In the observation post, Catherine was also assigning tasks to the various teams, with Duke, Vivian, Leonard, and Ella forming one team, assigned four thousand slave creature troops.

Among these four thousand slave creatures, there are four Level 2 lives, with dozens of Level 1 Peak slave creatures included, making the overall strength quite formidable.

At least for completing clearance tasks in ordinary areas, it can be said to be more than sufficient, revealing the robust strength and resource pool of the United Legion, as even a four-person team can be equipped with such formidable forces.

Duke didn't know whether this was due to their squadron being relatively special with certain backgrounds or if all teams received similar configurations.

He felt it was because these individuals have backgrounds, the slave creatures are mainly used to protect them, with clearing residual forces being merely an auxiliary task.

"Attention all squads under the seventh squadron, the main legion has breached the core defenses and now requires a complete sweep of the occupied zones. Your team is responsible for the seventh sweep zone, Black Oak Tree Town, and surrounding villages and farms. The task objective is to eliminate all organized resistance, suppress sporadic opposition, and ensure zone security. Special attention, these areas may have concealed Awakened individuals or routing soldiers." Catherine said to Duke's group of four.

Duke nodded and said, "Understood."

The four people in their team did not have a designated leader as each was assigned a troop of one thousand slave creatures.

Each troop includes a Level 2 slave creature as the head, allowing all four to theoretically act independently, depending on their choice.

Regardless, Duke naturally stayed with Vivian, while Leonard surely remained with his sister Ella.

"According to legion wartime regulations, during the sweep task period, all captured spoils are distributed by the sweeper themselves. The legion only has priority collection rights over specifically marked strategic materials, wishing you good luck." Catherine finished assigning tasks, concluding the distribution.

After Catherine assigned the tasks, Duke and the others didn't linger, promptly heading to the Slave Creature Legion's assembly area.

During wartime, all orders need to be executed promptly without delay.

Duke and his team arrived at the massive camp tucked in the hollow behind the fortress, which was even more thunderously noisy.

Countless slave creatures of varied shapes, exuding wild and bloody scents, were constrained in specific areas, managed by the legion's Wizards.

Duke quickly found his assigned one thousand slave creatures through his mission directive.

They were mainly a type called Thornback Earthwalkers, covered in dark green thick skin, sharp bone spikes on their backs, with stocky limbs, exposed fangs, and clouded, aggressive eyes.

Leading the group was a notably large Thornback Earthwalker King, with a white bone crown on its forehead.

Duke acquired a black plaque, which controlled the slave mark of these one thousand slave creatures.

The Thornback Earthwalker King sensed Duke's control talisman and lowered its head, letting out a low growl to indicate submission.

Vivian, Leonard, and Ella also each found their troops, accepting their designated slave creature forces.
