The next letter that arrived detailed everything that had happened today, giving further information about what everyone had seen in the golden crystals. And just like yesterday, the losses of Duke Whirlwind's forces were still at zero. Even though everyone had expected it, seeing that Duke Whirlwind had taken over two Zones without fighting personally and without losing a single person was shocking. On top of that, Duke Whirlwind also publicized the names of the High Mages that joined him. Not…-

It was difficult for Conny to accept her new circumstances. She had bet on the Council and had lied to Duke Whirlwind to achieve her goal. Yet, the lies she had told had been transformed into reality. The words she had spoken had been intended to become a reality. Count Sword was supposed to die in the city, and she was about to die. But now, everyone was alive, and the entire world would believe that she had completely betrayed the Council, even though that had never been her intention. Sadly, she had…

After a couple of seconds, Conny lost consciousness. However, Shang didn't kill her. "Good work," Jerald said. Shang looked at Jerald. "Are you sure she was lying?" he said. "I've been in this political game for long enough, and I can feel when someone is being deceptive." "90% of what she said was probably the truth, and there probably is a Magic Circle in there with a lot of power." "However, I think that she uttered two lies." "Detonating an entire city would be too risky and unbelievable. It…

A full day passed, and it was finally time to assault the Deepwater Shark Zone. The letters hadn't lied about Jerald's plans for attack. He would attack the Zones as described at the described time. Shortly before 12 pm, Shang took to the skies by flying on Sword. After some minutes, Shang scanned the entire Deepwater Shark Zone, except for the deep depths of the lake. After all, the Skythunder Kingdom was their enemy, not the beasts. Shang also doubted that the Skythunder Kingdom would have some kind…

After the warriors took to the sky, they split up into four groups. One group went to the northeast, one to the north, one to the northwest, and one to the west. They reached a height of eight kilometers and continued flying for a couple of minutes. The groups were entering the Deepwater Shark Zone, Adamantite Behemoth Zone, Northern Ice Wyvern Zone, and Ice Wyvern Zone. As soon as the groups entered their respective Zones, they took out the Space Rings they had received from Jerald. SHING! A huge…

After a couple of minutes, the horrifying screams of the High Mage stopped. Jerald stood up and stepped away from the desecrated corpse. He cleaned his robes of the blood and looked at Shang. "The next phase of the plan needs another two hours of preparation. For now, I only need you to stay with the three High Mages. If we need you, someone will call you." Shang nodded. He knew the plan, and he knew that the next step was crucial. Shang walked away and entered Swamp Lake City. As he walked through…

Shang and the Mages traveled to the northeast for several minutes. The Deepwater Shark Zone was adjacent to the Empress Cobra Zone, and it was also the place where Duke Torrent's mansion was. Of course, most of her belongings were in her Space Ring, which Jerald had taken. There wasn't a lot of stuff in her mansion. When they arrived at the Deepwater Shark Zone, they saw a gigantic lake, nearly 100 kilometers wide. The city Shang was looking for was in the north of that Zone. Shang got his Spells…

Jerald waited for half a minute before putting his hand on Duke Torrent's head. He attempted to read her mind, and he succeeded. For the next five minutes, Jerald only remained silent with his hand on Duke Torrent's head. Then, he pulled it back. "You've offered me valuable information," Jerald said coldly. Then, something appeared in his hands. It was George's spear! Jerald put the spear to Duke Torrent's head while tears rolled down the sides of her head. She knew that she would die. She didn't…

Shang only looked at the distant Duke Torrent. "For winning the war, it would be stupid not to accept your offer." "However, accepting your offer would nullify half of the reason why this war even started in the first place." Duke Torrent narrowed her eyes. She definitely didn't like what she was hearing. "We want the warriors to finally have a place where they can thrive, but that is only half of the reason." "Duke Whirlwind is a human just like all of us, and as a human, he has his own…

Duke Torrent wasn't surprised when Mervin said that they had expected her. She was the ruler over these surrounding Zones, and it would be foolish not to expect her to appear in one of them. But Duke Torrent wasn't very worried about their preparations. After all, she hadn't come here to fight but to negotiate. "I want to speak with Jerald," Duke Torrent demanded. "I am willing to sign a contract that binds me to his side, but I am not willing to undergo a Mind Read." Mervin only continued smiling…
