However, in an instant, he heard the successive sounds of towers collapsing. His peripheral vision swept the surroundings and discovered that, unbeknownst to him, the city’s lifeblood—its tower attack system—had been dismantled one by one by scattered Mages.
Already pale as paper from controlling the barrier, he didn’t understand. Weren’t there supposed to be two core Guard Teams in the city?
Why was there no sign of those Guard Teams?
Suddenly, a series of sounds ca from the sky, accompanied by noises akin to ropes being pulled taut. Shadows were dragged out of the darkness, bound together like dead fish.
Kael clapped his hands and walked out from their midst, looking at Anuka, and said, "Anuka, your speed needs improvent."
Anuka wasn’t angry, just nodded and said with a smile,
"Lord, the power you granted is simply wonderful. It’s just a pity that it will take so ti to get used to it. But with the advantages of ignoring most terrain and the Sli’s transformation, we’re already unstoppable in most situations."
Anuka clenched his fist; he truly loved the state of symbiosis with the Gluttonous Sli and the effect of every strike feeling like a skill being used. It truly intoxicated him.
"Why? Why could you break the defense of the guards so quickly?"
"Defense?"
Kael was briefly stunned, then chuckled and said, "You can’t be talking about that protective barrier, can you? Its Magic Model is so simple; there’s no need for a direct confrontation. Simply grasp the weak points of the Spell nodes and dismantle the Magic Model directly."
"Impossible, that Magic Model is the secret legacy of our family, passed down through generations. How could there be soone in this world who could directly master that Magic Model and then break it?"
"The Scroll Scholar’s Dark Knowledge, plus a bit of knowledge accumulation, and that’s about it."
"How could this be... How could there be a Mage like you in this world..."
Aux’s ntality collapsed. He looked back and saw the guards hanging from Magic Silk Thread in every corner of the city, their panicked expressions not yet faded, eyes still filled with the fear of imminent death.
And this was just the beginning.
As Kael’s group quickly dismantled one of the city’s main defensive forces, cries of agony began to rise from every corner of the town.
Aux’s face showed a pained expression as he felt his heart continually sinking. He knew his city, which had been guarded for years, was done for.
At that thought, Aux, unable to control his emotions, burst out cursing, "Invasion, this is a shaless invasion! Such behavior is a violation of the power accords!"
However, none of this changed according to his will. Just as Lord Zijing said, their only purpose in coming out this ti was to deter the Orean Independent Kingdom.
Amidst his voice of desperation, the entire city’s defense was dismantled by the expedition’s mbers.
In just 15 minutes, the territory of the Orean Independent Kingdom, known for its port city, lost the power to resist in the blink of an eye.

Such a terrifying speed of breakthrough far exceeded their imagination, to the extent that Aux and the remaining Guard Team mbers were doubting whether the other city guards had even mounted an attack.
Unable to bear this extre humiliation, a resolute light flashed in the eyes of so half-human Guard Team mbers.
While many outsiders believe that halflings are naturally born Wanderers and one must always be cautious when dealing with them,
It is, undoubtedly, in the face of life and death, these short-statured halfling guards were ready to make the ultimate sacrifice.
The next mont, a mournful roar emanated from the crowd.
"Lord Aux, this is the mont for us to prove our loyalty to Muxue Castle."
The dozen or so remaining halfling guards leapt out like madn, charging towards Kael and the direction of the Rangers.
Aux closed his eyes in agony.
Don’t co over here, run away!
At that mont, he felt nothing but heart-wrenching pain.
Wrong, the power of the Orean Independent Kingdom should never have been handed over to those dwarves, shouldn’t have traded the future of their own kingdom for more technology and a broader economic voice from them.
To hold power and not to wield it, those are two different things, and now everything was over.
He now felt irretrievable remorse, as his outrage exploded into fury, but ultimately, he couldn’t even fight before being forcefully suppressed by the Rangers.
Watching those halflings ripped open by Sli Swords, their continuous wails echoing in Aux’s ears, he was on the verge of madness.
"Gods, please bless to continue fighting for my brethren!"
Aux prayed to the gods he revered, as Divine Arts flickered on his body, the anger within him seemingly hearing the call of the gods, and so he shouted,
"Co, invaders, let’s have a fight to the death!"
Madly charging towards Kael.
"A very courageous act, but..."
Aux’s desperate strike unleashed, the shadow’s power perating his short sword, the gathered water seeming ready to shred everything before him.
