The defensive magic array of the city of Katavor extends from one meter outside the city walls to a height of two hundred meters in the air, covering the entire city.

Inside the transparent dome were the angry faces of countless magicians and angels.

They had already received news of what Xiang Wan was doing outside.

However, most of the mages and soldiers sent to the abyss could not be recalled.

If any negligence occurs there, the demons will seize the opportunity to retaliate, and then the entire human race will be in danger.

Xiang Wan did nothing else but lure countless magical beasts with her voice while passing through the Magic Forest, leading them to surround the entire city of Katawall.

In Warcraft, there are also many civilians and people of other races who have been persuaded and educated.

With commoners mixed in, the King of the Ventia Empire dared not casually order magicians to launch attacks on the outside.

Otherwise, even if the enemy is driven away, the empire will eventually be finished if most of the people are killed or injured.

The empire treats magicians as honored guests because this allows rulers to have no worries about the future, enabling them to defend against external enemies and suppress those who are unruly.

But if there are no common people, and only these magicians remain, who will pay taxes for the rulers? Who will serve them like beasts of burden?

Can we rely on these magicians?

They'll probably be the first ones they target.

If there's no profit to be made, who would risk their lives for them?

King Noster stood on the city wall, his face grim.

Especially when he saw Xiang Wan, a Medusa who was half human and half snake, no matter how beautiful she was, he saw her as nothing more than a monster.

What do you want?

Noster was no longer willing to beat around the bush. According to reliable intelligence, most of the people outside had already accepted her theory and wanted to turn the tables and become the masters of their own destiny. How ridiculous!

Without an empire, how would they survive?

To think that they can overthrow his rule now is simply delusional!

Sitting in a sedan chair carried by four angel warriors, Xiang Wan exuded an air of dominance and elegance with every gesture, along with a natural charisma that made everyone who saw her believe in her and follow her.

"I want a city like Katavor, free from oppression and privilege, where ordinary people can stand shoulder to shoulder with mages!"

"impossible!"

"Ask the people behind you if they agree!"

Noster did not turn back, because he was once an ordinary person. If it weren't for the imperial royal family using secret methods to create his body, what he would have wanted to do most was to pull these magicians, who were born with a sense of superiority, down from their pedestals and trample them underfoot.

Things are different now; his thinking has changed, and he now wants to be superior to others forever.

Having enjoyed the glory that comes with power and strength, who would be willing to give up this honor?

“Aimeir, in consideration of the persecution you have suffered, the Empire will compensate you. Drive them away, and I can make you a priest of the Empire, enjoying endless wealth and honor forever.”

"And then, continue to enjoy the wealth they bring, be above them, and let them suffer oppression, yet still have no choice but to obey?"

"you……"

"Do you think that ordinary people can't deal with magicians? Believe me, miracles are created here."

Xiang Wan tapped her temples and raised her hand in greeting.

The warriors surrounding the magic defense array all showed off the bracelets on their wrists.

The transparent defensive array rippled slightly as the bracelet formed a closed circular path, spreading out like ripples from bottom to top.

Then, the ripples gradually expanded, became denser, and the amplitude of the fluctuations became wider and wider.

"Your Majesty, we cannot hesitate any longer!"

The mage guarding Noster's side gradually grew serious.

Maintaining the magic circle requires an astronomical number of magic stones.

At this rate of fluctuation, the magic stones that could have lasted a month will likely be consumed much faster.

Once the defensive formation is breached, with so many monsters and warriors outside and their main force not yet back, the city of Katawor will be doomed sooner or later.

If we rely on the defensive array to cast spells outwards now, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

The people inside the city are far more loyal to the empire than those outside.

Just by looking at them all holding weapons and demanding to fight, you can tell how determined they are.

"Noster, surrender now, and you can still serve as an advisor in the World Alliance Joint Council, or enjoy your retirement." Give him another chance; if he still doesn't listen, don't blame her for being impolite.

"His Majesty!"

The magicians gathered around Noster, more united than ever before.

"Don't expect anyone to come and save you. The Abyss won't allow it." Since they don't cherish the opportunity given to them, Xiang Wan doesn't mind giving them a push.

If you're going to fight, do it quickly; she doesn't have much time to spare.

Noster's eyes narrowed, and he made up his mind. "This is a matter of life and death. All hands on deck, no questions asked, begin the battle!"

As the large hand swept down, Xiang Wan and the other mages in the formation all sprang into action.

Protected by the bracelets, these warriors who stood outside the defensive formation and were specifically tasked with breaking through the formation were not affected.

The monsters all came out, biting and scratching, accelerating the depletion of the magic circle.

The mages inside the formation unleashed a variety of spells, including wind, fire, lightning, and water magic.

The angels surrounding Xiang Wan pulled her away from the battlefield. No matter how powerful the mages were, they were too far away to reach her.

The defensive magic circle can prevent outsiders from entering and insiders from leaving.

The magic passed through the defensive array, but it also consumed magic stones.

Unless their magic stones are inexhaustible.
