Thirteen days later, in the wizard camp.
The last time he left, the camp was still a horrible scene after a bloody battle.
The terrible forest fire directly burned nearly 70 miles of the southern part of the Greenland Forest. The dust raised after the burning of the trees and plants covered the sky. Even Blue Hill City was covered in black snow for three days in a row!
Corpses could be seen lying on the scorched ground where black smoke was rising in spirals.
In some of the core areas of the fire, the corpses of the demon colts and demon hunters were burned into charcoal, leaving only vague traces on the dark ground. Only at the edge of the battlefield, where the thick layer of grass and wood ash was brushed away, it was possible to find some strange substances formed by the fusion of some bones and metal armor.
To be honest, when the Knights of Light blew the horn to retreat in the last war, there were still nearly a thousand demon hunters left. However, they had lost their magic colts and the hope of victory. With their physical strength exhausted and mental breakdown, it was impossible for them to outrun the spreading forest fire.
So seriously speaking, there were only a few demon hunters who were lucky enough to escape from the last Planar War. This was also the main reason why the Kingdom of Knights could not get the latest information from the frontline.
Of course, among them, the betrayal of Blue Hill City's governor, Count Winlier, also played a crucial role!
As the first native force of the Knight Plane to surrender to the Salubo Family, Count Winlier was immediately rewarded by the wizard. According to the nobles who participated in Count Winlier's surrender ceremony, the chosen wizards were a group of wise men and sages who mastered profound knowledge and the supreme truth of the world.
An amiable and powerful wizard even personally enhanced Count Winlier's bloodline, turning him from an ordinary human into a noble immortal. From then on, he could get rid of the shackles of birth, aging, sickness, and death, and no longer have to worry about the threat of death!
So when Count Winlier was "baptized", he could fly freely in the sky with his own strength. The originally terrified nobles immediately changed their tune and praised the greatness and nobility of the wizards.
And the Kingdom of Knights that the nobles were originally loyal to, in their words, immediately became a puppet regime that only knew how to wag its tail and beg for mercy behind the giant dragon, cruelly oppressing the people.
Meanwhile, these proclamations were corroborated by the Dragon's Calamity that had been ravaging human cities recently. Hence, these proclamations quickly spread among the people of the Knight's Continent.
For a moment, "Welcome the Wizards, banish the Giant Dragon" became the most powerful and resounding voice in the lower levels of the Knight's Continent!
When Grim stealthily returned to the southern part of the Greenland Forest from the Kingdom of Knights' territory, what he saw and heard along the way made him extremely surprised.
Originally, he thought that the wizards would only use force to conquer the plane. In the eyes of the great wizard, Salubo would not care about these lowly and insignificant civilians. But now, it seemed that even the powerful Great Sorcerers completely understood the power of the people.
Bewitch the people, lead the people, and then pull the people at the bottom to their side!
This was the fastest way to eliminate the plane's resistance in a short period of time.
Otherwise, even if the Kingdom of Knights was destroyed with lightning speed, there would always be some stubborn forces that missed the old dynasty hiding in the dark and inciting the people's rebellious emotions. Once the order of the plane became unstable for a long time, the benefits that the Salubo Family had usurped from this plane would inevitably suffer.
Hence, along the way, Grim could not help but sigh in admiration as he saw the changes that had happened to the natives.
Attacking and absorbing those in power was the easiest way to seize the greatest benefits in a short period of time. Taking in the middle class and bewitching the people at the bottom was a necessary method to eliminate the resistance forces.
From these methods, it could be seen that the Magi of the Salubo Family had their own profound understanding of the control of planes.
Based on the situation at hand, Grim could even make a bold guess. As long as the Magus camp sent out some good-looking Magi and displayed some 'miracles' in name, it would be easy to win over the hearts of the people. At that time, they would be able to successfully banish the Giant Dragon under the watchful eyes of everyone, and this plane would truly fall into the hands of the Salubo Family!
During the previous Planar War, Lord Salubo had a secret discussion with the leader of the green dragons for a period of time. Could it be that they had set the tone for the war? Otherwise, no matter how one looked at it, the actions of the Giant Dragons now looked like they were cooperating with the Magi in a 'performance'!
In any case, this plane would no longer belong to them. Taking advantage of the final moment before they left, they would wantonly obtain a fortune. This could be considered a form of compensation for the Giant Dragons! This would also give the new ruler of the plane, the Magi, a chance to win over the hearts of the people.
With Grim's status as a rank 1 Magus, it was naturally impossible for him to come into contact with the core secrets of the family. He could only make a preliminary assessment and conjecture based on what he had seen and heard along the way. Though the A.I. Chip's conjecture was a little sinister and malicious, Grim did not doubt it at all.
Perhaps this was because he was now a Magus who lived up to his name!
The new Magus camp could no longer be considered a camp, but more like a rapidly rising city.
The nearby forests had all been burned down, which was good for them. It saved the Magi the trouble of cutting down trees.
When Grim returned, the place was undergoing a large scale construction. Small-scale stone towers rose from the ground, and the mountains were undergoing large-scale remodeling. Under the command of the Magi, groups of wizard beasts cleared away debris, leveled the ground, and cleaned up the site.
Of course, all the previous wizard beasts had been destroyed in the last war. This new batch of wizard beasts was obviously made in a hurry, and they looked like centaurs. Their lower limbs were densely covered in black fur and scales. Their sinister bodies and terrifying claws made them look like demon colts. On top of their beast-like bodies was a sturdy human torso. They could speak and use weapons and tools flexibly.
Wasn't this just a hodgepodge of the lower body of a demon colt and the upper body of a demon hunter knight?
They also had a nice name: Rune Knights!
Yes, these wizard beasts would be equipped with the most basic rune equipment in the future. They could be considered a powerful force that the Magi had nurtured in this world.
The sorcerers would not be able to stay in this plane for a long time in the future, so most of the plane's affairs would still need to be handled by the local nobles. The sorcerers only needed them to hand over the resources and wealth they needed on time.
To deal with these puppet nobles, they had to tempt them with benefits, but they also had to suppress them with power.
The Rune Knights were left behind by the Sarubo family in the future, the most powerful secular weapon to protect the Magi's rule!
Lord Sarubo was still meeting Grim in the Wizard Tower of War.
Ever since the Wizard Tower of War was built, this human projection was no different from Lord Sarubo's clone. Looking closely, Grim could not tell that this was not a real person, but a projection of his consciousness!
The first thing they did after meeting was, of course, to hand over the items for the mission.
Lord Sarubo sent Grim to the capital of the Kingdom of Knights with two missions. One was to kill the ruler of the Kingdom of Knights, Edward VII, and the other was to retrieve the complete rune knowledge.
Grim completed both missions without a hitch.
After handing over the head of Edward VII, a complete set of rune blueprints and knowledge scrolls, Lord Sarubo finally nodded in satisfaction after a simple inspection.
Of course, on the way back, Grim had already scanned all the data and knowledge on the documents, blueprints, and scrolls into the A.I. Chip, so he was willing to hand them over.
Lord Sarubo picked up the ugly head that had been treated with witchcraft and tossed it into a strange spell formation that was projected from the floor.
The Wizard Formation floated in the air a meter above the ground. The entire Wizard Formation was formed by three layers of glowing Wizard Rings and countless strange runes mixed within them. The human head floated up and down, and under the analysis of the dazzling witchcraft halos, there seemed to be a faint bloodline power being extracted and floating above the human head.
After the bloodline power was extracted, Great Wizard Sarubo, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, gently drew a line with his finger. A powerful rune appeared out of thin air and was inserted into the spell formation.
As the War Wizard's Pagoda trembled slightly, a huge amount of energy that terrified Grim passed through the defensive system and crazily surged into the illusory spell formation.
The bloodline power was like a red gossamer, slowly floating above the spell formation.
For a moment, Grim seemed to see through the hazy shadow and saw close to a thousand strange faces in the swimming red threads. Some were old, some were young, some were young … Even though they were of different ages and had different expressions, they all had a deep connection with the bloodline power.
Seeing this scene, the name of a powerful and strange Magus appeared in Grimm's mind.
Bloodline Curse!
This was an extremely powerful top-notch Witchcraft, as well as one of the most vicious Curse Spells.
Edward VII was undoubtedly the supreme ruler of the Edward Family in the plane of knights. With him as the source of the bloodline, it was impossible to count the number of descendants and grandchildren born from him. If one included the many illegitimate children of the royal bloodline, it would be extremely difficult for the Wizards to capture all of the Edward Family's bloodline in one fell swoop!
But with the bloodline curse, it was a completely different story.
With Edward VII, the source of the bloodline, in addition to the personal control of the Great Wizard, and the energy supply from the War Wizard's Pagoda … Hence, under Grimm's shocked gaze, the talisman that the Great Warlock had cast into the void was drawn by the power of his bloodline, and disappeared without a trace.
In Grim's sharp senses, it seemed that the moment the rune disappeared, some of the laws of this dimension had been deeply affected!
Inexplicably, Grim had an epiphany!
Perhaps in this dimension, all life forms with the bloodline of the Edward Family had reached the end of their lives!
As expected, it was as if an invisible needle was continuously piercing the illusory bubbles. The illusory faces attached to the bloodline power suddenly let out shrill cries of pain, then started disappearing one by one.
And the disappearance of each face meant the disappearance of a life in the distance!
Grim swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
Even though he was also a Wizard, even though his hands were also stained with blood, Grim still felt his heart tremble when he saw such a method of exterminating an entire family as if it was a game.
