Chapter 1422: Discussions

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Every wizard who came to Fes City afterwards felt like they were in Hell on earth.

One hundred thousand people. From young to old, male to female, all of them were burned black.

But things did not end there. Similar events began to happen to cities along the second line.

Soon, the Wizard Union was caught in an awkward situation. Panic broke out on the Warding Wall, and many cities fell as their civilians evacuated in fear.

Just like that, the Wizard Union’s authority had decreased once again, and no one was talking about the dwarves any more.

——

The eleven God Rank wizards gathered again in their meeting room.

“Everyone, I’m sure you all have a sense of what is happening. If we don’t repair the Warding Wall, we might lose the second line of battle to the Evil Kingdom, or even the third line!” Wizard Smith said helplessly.

All the wizards around him had not cared too much about the dwarves considering the dwarves didn’t even have any Half-gods. It was just a bit of face lost to Abel, but what happened now truly made them think again.

“The loopholes in the Warding Wall are still not too significant, but things might get out of control if it keeps getting worse!” Wizard McPhee snapped in irritation.

“For some reason the Evil Kingdom is going crazy. In the past they would only capture some followers at most, but now they just directly unleashed a massacre with a God Rank knight!” Wizard Hawthorn said grimly.

As God Ranks, they knew how proud they were, and they normally wouldn’t bother killing insignificant life forms. Anything below the Half-god Rank was like ants to them, and a normal person would not crush a group of ants for no reason!

“Maybe Thief God Milton is doing something big in the Evil Kingdom and they are attacking us in revenge?” Wizard Smith asked.

When it came to massacres, he suddenly remembered that Abel had mentioned something similar. Could that be the reason for their crazy actions?

“Even if that’s the case, the Evil Kingdom should find Thief God Milton and Headmaster Abel!” Wizard Mosley added in dissatisfaction. But he soon realized something.

Thief God Milton was basically invisible unless he was in close proximity to a God Rank. As for Headmaster Abel, he was too deep in the central continent. He was also in Doff’s faithful ground, which no knights were willing to approach!

The Holy Kingdom had tried to enter the Battlecry Plateau before with a Sea of Faith, but at the end one of the God-Knights was killed and the other was injured.

After all, even ten God Rank wizards did not have the guts to enter the Battlecry Plateau, the Furnace Fort, or even the Winter Hoof Plateau.

They were all faithful grounds, and doing so was basically picking a fight with those gods. Those gods were not the weaklings in the God Alliance, who had no guts to fight back!

“What Thief God Milton did was helping us too, maybe the damage the Holy Kingdom is taking is far greater than us, so we can’t really blame him. We should just focus on protecting our cities!” Wizard Smith offered smoothly.

Since no one was around other than the God Rank wizards, his words were direct. He did not disrespect Abel just because of their disagreements.

“We must keep a good relationship with Headmaster Abel, at least before the president returns. In fact, we should try to make up to him and find a way to get the dwarves back to the Warding Wall.”

“No, we will lose a huge face if we do that!” Wizard Hawthorn immediately argued against that.

The Wizard Union had already lost a huge amount of face and trust after the dwarves left. If they wanted the dwarves back, they would have to pay a good price.

Furthermore, five of the God Rank wizards had disrespected Abel, so making up to him would be a further sign of weakness.

“If we don’t do something quick we might lose the second line of defense, and we can’t send a God Rank to guard every city!” Wizard McPhee repeated for emphasis.

All thee God Ranks were in a strange situation. They were all on the top of the world, yet they still had to think about the Wizard Union’s interests.

If things continued as they were, things might get really ugly and their status might be impacted.

“Everyone, the Warding Wall has to be repaired, so we need the dwarves. I’ll admit my mistake for underestimating the dwarves’ importance. If not, none of this would have happened!” Wizard Smith stood up and bowed to the others.

Wizard McPhee stood up and announced, “Smith, it’s not your fault. We all decided together. But considering how short of time we are, let’s just vote and agree on something now!”

“Agree. Since we can’t come to an agreement, let’s vote!” the other wizards nodded.

“Who agrees to negotiate with headmaster Abel and have the dwarves repair the Warding Wall?” Wizard Smith called out firmly. He lifted his hand as soon as he finished.

“Me!”

“Me!’

Six wizards lifted their hands.

Wizard Hawthorn was one of the four that did not lift his hand, but after seeing how many wizards had done so, he and the others let out sighs and also raised their hands.

In order to maintain their relationships as God Ranks, it was a wiser move to go with the flow.

“Ok, since we all agree, let’s just take care of it now!” Wizard Smith did not sound very excited. Indeed, he felt a little depressed.

It was the first time the mighty Wizard Union had been forced to lower their heads.

It was an insult, but there was nothing else they could do!

Wizard Hawthorn stood up and said, “Smith, I’ll go with you!”

Wizard Smith was a little surprised, as Wizard Hawthorn was clearly against this idea at first.

“I was one of the ones who ignited our tension with Headmaster Abel, and I am willing to admit my mistake!” Wizard Hawthorn stated firmly.

“Ok!” Wizard Smith didn’t want Wizard Hawthorn to get involved, but he still nodded agreement. Wizard Hawthorn was indeed the one who Abel had the most problems with.

He was the one who had organized the operation against Abel, and that was what had escalated their differences and led to the resurrection of four gods!

Everyone could tell how much Abel and Wizard Hawthorn hated each other by the way they interacted, so Wizard Smith was worried.

——

After the meeting ended, Wizard Smith and Wizard Hawthorn began to make their ways to the dragons, since there was no way they could contact Abel without the help of the dragons.

After two days, they finally got a reply. During that time, another city of a hundred thousand was wiped out.

Although there were hundreds of cities in the second line and the people closest to the Warding Wall had retreated, dangers were still lurking.

After all, there was no refugee area big enough to hold the populations of a few hundred cities, and the third line of cities might be hit at any moment.

Wizard Smith was extremely desperate, while Wizard Hawthorn stayed silent.

Headmaster Eugene came out and smiled at the wizards. “Headmaster Abel just replied!”

They would not enter Dragon Island, since they would be suppressed as soon as they did so. They had waited on the nearest island built by the dwarves.

“When can Headmaster Abel meet us?” Wizard Smith asked quickly.

“He said you can go to the Golden Castle, he will be waiting there!” Headmaster Eugene smiled.

“Headmaster Eugene, can we choose another place?” Wizard Hawthorn finally broke his silence.

Headmaster Eugene paused, but he quickly realized why.

Ever since the Wizard Union had messed with Abel and Abel had gotten more powerful, Abel was more than capable of killing these two God Rank wizards in the Golden Castle.

After all, just thinking about how many God Ranks had died at the hands of Abel, Wizard Hawthorn didn’t want to become another one.

Headmaster Eugene paused before asking, “Wizard Hawthorn, where would you like to meet?’

Since they were among the dragons and Abel was a Dragon Headmaster, Wizard Hawthorn still didn’t feel safe.

“How about Saint Castle?’ Wizard Hawthorn decided after a long moment of thought.

Headmaster Eugene immediately began searching through his memory and quickly found something.

It was a little city next to the Ervo Forest, the Moon Goddess’ faithful ground. It was safe enough for both sides.
