The communication circle with Wizard Nesssmith was connected, but since the attack on the Wizard Union headquarters was over, there was no point for him to come back.
As soon as he left the Howling Castle, the Nation of God would get rid of this thorn in their side.
This was not the early years. They still needed to train their backup forces on the front line, so they would tolerate the existence of the Howling Castle.
Of course, it wasn't like Wizard Naismith didn't do nothing. He knew where the other nine wizards went.
In Bernie's yard in the Iron Furnace Fort, Devour sat in a circle and floated in the air. As a wizard who was always in retreat training, they were not in a rush.
They did not speak. They just waited for Abel to come and prepare for the divine battle. As long as they did a clean job, even the dragons would not be able to find anything.
At this moment, Wizard Hardy rushed into the circle in a panic.
"What's the rush?" Wizard Hawthorne gazed at Wizard Hardy and said in dissatisfaction.
"Master, I just got a message from Master Nesssmith. The Wizard Union headquarters is in trouble." Wizard Hardy quickly said.
"What's more important than capturing Elder Abel?" Wizard Hawthorne lowered his voice.
"The Wizard Union headquarters was attacked. The losses are huge!" Wizard Hardy replied. He was the head of the investigation department, so he should have the latest information.
However, since he was involved in this mission, he almost cut off all contact with the outside world, so he knew very little.
Wizard Nesssmith did not say what the losses were. Otherwise, he would be a lot more worried if he knew the analysis soul of the investigation department was involved.
"Let's go back and take a look!" Wizard McPhee said. It was still noon, so they could still go back.
Wizard Mosley asked, "How many of you are going back? Or everyone?"
"Let's go back!" Wizard Colridge immediately said. If the nine wizards were to split up, the remaining ones might not be able to capture Abel. If Abel managed to escape, it would be better for all of them to work together.
The nine god-ranked wizards flashed and appeared in the teleportation circle, disappearing from Ironfurnace Fort.
As soon as Wizard Hawthorne stepped out of the teleportation circle, he saw the busy Wizard Union.
The dead bodies in the investigation department were being cleaned up. Since they were frozen into ice crystals, it was very difficult to clean them up.
With just a little bit of force, the bodies would turn into ice chips and disappear. Wizard Brennan watched helplessly from the side. He had no choice but to move the body out with the ice crystals.
"Who dares to attack the headquarters?" Wizard Hawthorne asked with a dark face. He was the one in charge of the plan to capture Abel, and he was the one who sent all the god-ranked wizards out. The reason why the Wizard Union headquarters was attacked was because he sent all the god-ranked wizards out.
Even if no one dared to blame him, Wizard Hawthorne still hated the people who attacked the Wizard Union headquarters to the bone.
"3 divine Knight!" Wizard Brennan lowered his voice.
"How is that possible? The Evil Kingdom's divine Knight wanted to go through the Wall of Doom to open a teleportation portal. The Wall of Doom should have sensed it. How can there be no warning? "Wizard Hawthorne questioned.
The Wall of Doom was built to stop the Nation of God from invading the continent. However, if the Nation of God used a large amount of divine power to open a teleportation portal or use a teleportation circle somewhere, they could go through the Wall of Doom.
However, the Wall of Doom was not only for this. Every time a powerful divine Knight tried to go through the Wall of Doom, the Wizard Union would have a rough idea of where the divine Knight was.
This would allow the Wizard Union to make the best response, especially if the target was near some special targets. The Wizard Union's response would be faster.
Among these targets, the most important one was the Wizard Union headquarters. As long as any divine Knight of the Nation of God used a teleportation circle or opened a teleportation portal to get close to the Wizard Union headquarters, the Wall of Doom would send out a warning.
"I've checked. There is no record of a divine Knight passing through the Wall of Doom." Wizard Brennan shook his head.
"Did the divine Knight appear out of thin air?" Wizard Hawthorne yelled angrily.
He scanned the ice crystals on the corpses with his divine power. They were indeed left behind by the divine Knight's Sacred Freeze.
Also, only a divine Knight could do that. The corpses inside the ice crystals were already destroyed. As long as the ice crystals melted, the corpses would disappear as well.
"Masters, something is wrong!" Wizard Brennan looked around hesitantly and whispered.
"Let's go to the meeting room and tell us what happened!" Wizard Hawthorne lowered his voice as he understood what Abel wanted to say.
All the wizards entered the meeting room and looked at Wizard Brennan.
"The divine Knight is very strange. They could easily wipe out the entire Wizard Union headquarters, but they only killed the 98 intelligence officers in the meeting room and stole the intelligence analysis spirit. They also stole the 4 divine bodies in the underground stone room!" Wizard Brennan reported.
"The divine body has been stolen!" A few of the god-ranked wizards exclaimed at the same time. Unlike Wizard Brennan, Wizard Brennan cared more about the operation of the Wizard Union, so he cared more about the intelligence analysis spirit.
However, the wizards didn't care about the intelligence analysis spirit. They were more concerned about the divine bodies. The owners of these divine bodies used to be powerful gods. If any one of them escaped, it could cause great trouble for the entire continent.
"So you're saying that only the 98 informants in the investigation department died?" Wizard Hawthorne grasped the main point and asked.
"Yes, a few legendary wizards fell from the sky due to the pressure of the god rank energy, but no one else was injured!" Half God Wizard Brennan replied.
Wizard Hawthorne's eyes were filled with anger. Maybe the other wizards didn't know what the 98 members of the investigation department were doing, but Wizard Hawthorne knew very well.
The ninety-eight intelligence agents there were specially selected to formulate a plan to capture Abel. In order to prevent this plan from being leaked, he personally ordered those ninety-eight intelligence agents not to leave the meeting room before the mission to capture Abel was completed.
Also, if it was really a divine Knight from the Nation of God, he would not just kill the insignificant intelligence officers. He would go after the legendary wizards and demigods.
To Dong Xuebing, this is more like a rational revenge and an accusation.
"Ask Hardy to come back!" Wizard Hawthorne lowered his voice. His voice was full of grievance. He was almost certain who had attacked him this time.
Although he didn't know how that person got his men to impersonate god-ranked holy knights, it wasn't impossible to impersonate a god-ranked holy knight since there were no god-ranked knights in the Wizard Union headquarters.
"Are we not going to capture headmaster Abel?" Wizard Mosley asked in confusion.
"Don't tell me we don't know who is behind this!" Wizard Hawthorne lowered his voice.
No one was stupid. Even Wizard Brennan had his suspicions. Because the Wall of Dusk did not announce the arrival of the Holy Knights, then who in the entire continent would be able to mobilize 3 Holy Knights?
There was only one answer, and that was headmaster Abel from the dragons. However, this answer was too unbelievable. Headmaster Abel was basically declaring war on the Wizard Union.
"Good move!" Wizard McPhee shook his head and sighed. He then added, "we were preparing to ambush him, but he took advantage of the fact that the Wizard Union headquarters was empty to take revenge. This is indeed his plan!" Wizard Brennan immediately understood the reason for this attack.
At first, he suspected it was Abel, but he didn't understand why Abel would risk his relationship with the Wizard Union to attack the Wizard Union headquarters.
However, now he knew that the 9 divine rank wizards went to ambush Abel, and Abel took revenge on them.
He had done his research on Abel, and he knew what kind of person Abel was. From the way Abel grew up, he knew he would take revenge on his enemies as soon as he could, and if he couldn't, he would take revenge on his enemies later.
Therefore, according to Abel's intelligence, almost all of his enemies were dead. If you couldn't kill someone like that in one strike, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Wizard Union headquarters was being targeted like that, and no one knew what would happen next.
"Tell Hardy not to kill Bernie!" Wizard McPhee suddenly yelled. Wizard Brennan thought of the same thing, and so did Wizard Mike.
If Bernie was killed, then the situation would be even worse. The Wizard Union headquarters didn't have any evidence to prove that it was Abel who did it, so everyone was just guessing.
Abel was not a normal person. He was an elder of the dragons. If the Wizard Union wanted to cause trouble for him, they would have to bear the consequences of starting a war with the dragons.
If the Wizard Union had that kind of responsibility, they wouldn't have tried to capture Abel in the first place. They would've sent the 9 divine rank wizards to kill him.
"Master, I'm back!" Wizard Hardy came back from the dwarves' Iron Furnace Fort with an ugly face and bowed.
He knew what happened to the investigation department as soon as he came back, and he knew it was Abel's revenge.
It could be said that the attack this time had greatly damaged the vitality of his intelligence department, especially the database of the intelligence analysis spirit, which stored the intelligence of the entire world. In the future, if the intelligence department wanted to inquire about any information, they would have to go to the vast original intelligence resource database to search for it manually.
As for nurturing a new intelligence analysis spirit, it would take at least a few decades. Even if it was nurtured after a few decades, it would not be able to compare to the original intelligence analysis spirit. Its calculation and analysis ability would be too weak.
As the head of the Intelligence Department, he had only been a spy for a few years, and he was already in such a predicament. Furthermore, it was because of the Intelligence Department.
"You didn't kill Bernie, did you?" Wizard Mike quickly asked when he saw Wizard Hardy come back so quickly.
"Master, I didn't dare to do anything without your orders, so I just put away the magic circle and teleported back!" Wizard Hardy bowed.
When he received the order to return to Ironfurnace Castle, he immediately put away all the formations except for the teleportation formation. Then, he placed a delayed self-destruction formation on the teleportation formation before returning.
As an experienced investigator, he didn't leave any traces other than some magic circle fragments.
"That informant you planted in the dwarfs can't be left alive. Get rid of him as soon as possible!" Wizard Hawthorne said coldly.
Wizard Gerald of the dwarves was the only outsider who exposed the Wizard Union's involvement in the conspiracy against Bernie. Besides, what could a spy do if he was already exposed?
"Yes, master!" Wizard Hardy felt a chill in his heart. He knew this was the end of the investigation.
Although Abel should have known about the Wizard Union's attack on him, the Wizard Union couldn't leave any evidence behind.
Just like when Abel attacked the Wizard Union, it was the 3 holy Knight that did it. Both sides knew, but they couldn't find any evidence. Therefore, the war between the Wizard Union and the dragons couldn't be started.
As for Bernie, he didn't know much. Wizard Hardy didn't reveal his identity, so as long as Wizard Rohr Jay's trail was destroyed, nothing could be done.
"Let's stop the attack on Elder Abel. We'll talk about it after this is over!" Wizard Hawthorne continued.
Abel didn't kill everyone in the Wizard Union, so he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Although the Wizard Union suffered a huge loss, they had to accept it.
They were the ones who made the first move, and they were the ones who got revenge. Did they really want to start a war with Abel? That would be a war with the dragons.
Although they were all god-ranked wizards, they didn't have the authority to start a war like this. There was only one person in the Wizard Union who had this authority, and that was the president.
Without the president's order, it was hard to say who would win if they started a war with the dragons, especially with Abel's new support force.
