Sixth Ring Wizard

In the Wizard Plane, there are many rules that restrict these wizards from slaughtering ordinary people.

But upon arriving in the Elf Plane, many wizards begin to act without restraint.

Various bloody, evil, and cruel magic experiments are conducted with numerous test subjects here.

This causes the creatures of the Elf Plane to loathe and hate wizards intensely.

Just one such wizard can affect the impression of all the Wizard Plane's inhabitants on the creatures of the Elf Plane.

Not to mention, wizards like these are not in the minority.

In the eyes of many Dawn Land wizards, the ordinary people of the Elf Plane are no different from pigs and dogs.

Now, the wizards within the Lime Mountain Range are still in the dormant phase, so the people of Oberstein have not been affected yet.

But once the wizards inside start their plunder in earnest, it's safe to say these ordinary people will be powerless to resist and will be slaughtered at will.

After Tyrion returned to the camp, he pondered for a long time and then went to the Oberstein governor.

He explained the situation to the governor, requesting that a public announcement be issued promptly.

"But that will cause panic," the governor's perspective on the issue was different from Tyrion's.

His task was to maintain the stability of Oberstein's governance.

If such an announcement is sent out, Oberstein will fall into chaos, and he would certainly be punished then.

To maintain stability in Oberstein, the governor is unwilling to issue such an announcement.

Tyrion didn't look too happy. He, of course, knew what the governor was thinking and said in a deep voice, "Falling into chaos is better than falling into danger. If those wizards indeed emerge, we may die, but that's our duty. However, what did those civilians do wrong? They should know the truth; they have the right to choose!"

The governor shook his head: "Creating chaos will affect many people's lives. We cannot issue an announcement like this over an unknown danger. Besides, haven't the Elf Race people come already? With them here, what danger can there be?"

The governor still refused to issue an announcement.

In his view, since powerful casters of the Elf Race have arrived, what problem can remain unsolved?

The governor had never heard of wizards and knew very little about them, not realizing the threats Tyrion spoke of.

Evacuating the entire civilian population of Oberstein seemed incredibly exaggerated.

No matter how much Tyrion stressed the danger posed by the wizards, the governor steadfastly refused to issue an announcement for the civilians to relocate.

The governor finally waved his hand to interrupt Tyrion: "Enough. I am the governor, and I will naturally be responsible for Oberstein's people. Tyrion, you are the boundary commander; just keep your borders safe, and don't meddle in Oberstein's internal affairs."

"You!"

Tyrion was both angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

As the boundary commander, he had no authority to interfere with Oberstein's internal affairs.

If the governor refused to issue an announcement, Tyrion couldn't do anything, as stepping out of line would constitute meddling in internal affairs.

The charge would be severe then, and with his already considerable military power, he couldn't afford to give anyone grounds for criticism.

Tyrion left the governor's place, feeling heavy-hearted as he watched the bustling crowds on the streets.

The governor only wanted to get through these few years safely to get promoted elsewhere, completely unwilling to take any risks.

...

Base Twenty-Seven.

Parker gathered everyone together.

When Lu Qiao and four Elves reached the outside of the Lime Mountain Range, the sentries at Base Twenty-Seven had already detected them.

Parker immediately decided to recall all patrols.

Parker temporarily didn't want the base exposed to the Elf Race.

So he gathered all the patrol personnel back.

Base Twenty-Seven had a Witch Array for concealment, so it wasn't easy to discover.

Initially, it was expected that Lu Qiao and co. would enter the Lime Mountain Range for reconnaissance, planning to act depending on the situation.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiao sent a bird as a decoy to investigate.

Initially, nobody took notice of the birds flying above.

Countless birds flew around within the Lime Mountain Range every day; who would pay attention to a bird flying overhead daily?

But Lu Qiao's bird lingered above the base longer than usual and soon caught Parker's attention.

He promptly took it down, resulting in a piece of wood falling; only then did everyone realize this bird was an Elf Race reconnaissance tool.

Parker said in a deep voice: "It seems we've been exposed. The Elf Race should soon take action. In the days ahead, things might not be so easy."

"But thankfully, our base's Witch Array is fully constructed. For now, security isn't a concern, as those from the Elf Race will find it hard to breach the Witch Array and enter the base."

Though Base Twenty-Seven had been discovered, its basic infrastructure was essentially completed.

If the Elf Race wanted to break into Base Twenty-Seven, they'd have to pay a heavy price.

In the short term, the Elf Race couldn't assemble the forces required to forcibly breach the base.

Parker glanced around at everyone and continued: "Now it's time to go out and do something. According to the intelligence, four Elves have come to Oberstein. One is a Level 2 Wizard, and three are Level 1 Crystalization Wizards."

"The Elf Race population is small, so losing even one member is a significant loss. Therefore, we need to take action, and our target is to eliminate or capture these four Elves."

"However, before we strike, someone needs to ascertain the situation within Obestan City to confirm that only those four Elf Race casters are present."

"On the surface, besides these four Elves, there's a human Level 2 Caster. Apart from them, it's mostly ordinary people who pose no threat."

"But caution is advised, so we must first send someone inside to investigate thoroughly."

Parker stopped here and looked at Herag: "Herag, I'm planning to send you to investigate Obestan; any issues?"

"No issues," Herag replied directly.

A task assigned by Parker left Herag with no objections, nor could he afford to have any.

A red-haired female witch glanced at Herag, discontentedly saying, "Mr. Parker, why give such an opportunity to a Wizard from the Barren Land. He's just a Gaseous Wizard; can he accomplish this?"

Parker looked at the female witch, chuckling mildly, and then with a wave of his hand, a beating heart appeared in his grasp.

The red-haired witch stared at the heart with wide eyes, then experiencing a painful expression, crouched on the ground.

Parker gripped the heart and smiled: "My orders aren't for you to question. This is just a warning; there won't be a next time unless you want me to crush it."

The heart in his hand continued to beat, and Parker's broad palm only required a light squeeze to shatter it.
