Baron Wilmes was dead …
Of the two Wizards that had accompanied the baron, one was dead, and the other was heavily injured …
The heavily injured Wizard that had luckily escaped insisted that he had been attacked by a Wizard from the Crimson Family when he returned to the scattered Tower Forest Association. This was like poking a hornet's nest. The elders of the scattered Tower Forest Association had yet to express their stance, but the elders and deacons under them were already clamoring, demanding that the culprit who had publicly killed a Wizard from the association be punished.
A few small Magus families near the Crimson Throne jumped up and down, aiming their attacks at the Crimson Family, which had risen to power in recent years.
The Crimson Family was after all a Wizard Family that had recently risen to power. They did not have enough allies in the scattered Tower Forest, and instead had plenty of enemies. Thus, it was not surprising that an anti-Crimson Family alliance was quickly forming.
The main force of the 'Anti-Crimson Family Alliance' was naturally the few small Wizard Families near the Crimson Throne Wizard Pagoda. Their bases were too close to the Crimson Family. If the Crimson Family chose to expand outwards, it was likely that all of their family forces would be greatly or slightly affected.
Rather than wait for the Crimson Family to grow stronger and swallow them up, they might as well take advantage of the time when the Crimson Family was internally divided to split them up.
Of course, before taking action, these small Wizard Families had also put in a lot of effort to gain a deeper understanding of the Wizard power within the Crimson Throne Wizard Pagoda.
The Crimson Family strategically split their forces in the north, transferring most of the family's power to the Icy Wind Territory that was under the control of the Northern Witches. The other Wizard Families clearly did not think highly of this overstepping and subversive way of thinking.
Even though they could still communicate and exchange resources through long-distance Teleportation Formations after splitting their forces in two places, there was a huge limit to the amount of Magic Crystals needed for a single teleportation.
If the Crimson Family was given a few decades to slowly manage and cultivate, they might really be able to blossom in two places, using the Crimson Throne and the White Tower to spread the family's power and influence to a wider area. Unfortunately, at the start of the split, both the Crimson Throne in the scattered Tower Forest and the White Tower in the northern Icy Wind Territory were in a short period of weakness.
Their clenched fists suddenly opened, and the power of the two Wizard Pagoda naturally became weaker.
The White Tower was out of their reach, but the Crimson Throne was within their reach.
Thus, with enemies both in the open and in the dark adding fuel to the fire, a terrifying storm against the Crimson Family was quickly brewing.
As the butler of the Crimson Throne, Gargamel had naturally received countless reports and information. Unfortunately, the sorcerer's power he could mobilize was too little, so he was unable to change the increasingly harsh living environment in front of him.
Over the past few days, the road to the south of the Wizard's Pagoda had been cut off, and the markets and small towns around the Wizard's Pagoda had become sparsely populated. Most of the adventurers, mercenaries, and acolytes had already left the area, quietly waiting for the family war to erupt!
In the past, such a large-scale battle between Magi families would not have been permitted by the scattered Tower Forest Association.
After all, the ones who were damaged in the war were the core forces of the scattered Tallinn region!
If the Sorcerer families were allowed to kill each other, then the scattered Tower Forest Association would eventually lose its foundation to resist the invasion of the three great Sorcerer factions. However, it was still necessary to eliminate the weak and keep the strong.
After all, a powerful Sorcerer family could only reach the pinnacle by stepping on the bones of their enemies!
Thus, when the Magi of the association were ambushed and killed near the Crimson Throne Wizard's Pagoda, the scattered Tower Forest Association loosened their control over the area, and began to contact a few small factions in the area, forming a mighty "Anti-Crimson Family Alliance".
Now, this alliance had already gathered enough sorcerers and was slowly encroaching on the outer perimeter of the Crimson Throne Wizard's Pagoda. If they were allowed to establish a foothold there, the Crimson Throne Wizard's Pagoda would have to face the enemy's prepared and planned attacks.
Even though the Wizard's Pagoda was said to be indestructible, it still depended on who had it.
If it was in the hands of a level 3 Sorcerer, even a level 4 Sorcerer might not be able to destroy the tower and kill him. But if the Wizard's Pagoda was in the hands of a level 2 Sorcerer, the upper limit of the Wizard's Pagoda's power would be even more tragic.
As long as one's strategy was appropriate, their methods were forceful, and there were enough Sorcerers, it would not be that difficult to forcefully destroy a small Wizard's Pagoda!
Thus, the area around the Crimson Throne was in a state of panic. Even the Sorcerers and apprentices of the family did not dare to take a step out of the Wizard's Pagoda.
"First of all, let me make one thing clear …" Since Grim was not present, Mary sat on the main seat. "This is a huge conspiracy against us!"
At this point, Mary paused for a moment. Her scarlet eyes that were as clear as rubies slowly swept across the audience.
The Sorcerers in the area each took a corner, silently listening to Mary's declaration before the battle.
Standing beside Mary was naturally her direct descendant of the Blood Clan.
Soros and Winsol, the two fake level 2 Blood Knights, as well as two beautiful Blood Elves with delicate features and long pointy ears. As the old fox Winsol had to stay in the white tower to assist Meryl, he did not appear in this battle.
As for the other two level 2 Sorcerers of the family, Draconian Zachary and Gnome Tigole, they each took a corner, silently listening to Mary's speech.
To be honest, they could not be considered core Sorcerers of the Crimson Family.
Draconian Zachary was the first level 2 Soul Servant Grim had taken in. Naturally, everything would go according to Grim's wishes. Now that Grim was far away in the Fire Elemental Plane, even though Draconian Zachary had participated in this family meeting with an indifferent attitude, it did not mean that he had to offer his loyalty to this weak Mary.
Gnome Tigole only had level 1 strength. He relied on the unique Mechanic Profession of the Gnomes to control the level 2 Magical Gnome Ripper with ease. Now that the Gnome Plane had become the property of the Crimson Family, this Gnome Warrior could only pinch his nose and join the Sorcerers' team for the benefit of his race.
However, within the Crimson Family, Gnome Tigole only bowed to the powerful Wizard Grim. As for this Wizard Mary, she had not reached the point where she could directly order him around.
In order to show that the Destiny Witches valued this matter, Alice had also sent her powerful subordinate, the Berserk Witch Sofia, over. The burly Sofia, who looked like a super muscular man, hugged her thick Wizard Wood Staff and sat alone in a corner, looking like she was obedient but not obedient.
Other than these unruly fellows, on the other side of the hall were the Sorcerers of the Wizard Pagoda of the Crimson Throne.
The Crimson Chief Gargamel, the Forest Demon Wizard Ava, their beloved daughter Wizard Emelia, the Chimera leader Karon … Originally, the Wizard Pagoda had recruited a few independent Sorcerers, but considering that they were not reliable, Gargamel did not summon them to participate in this family meeting.
Glancing around, Mary could not help but furrow her brows when she saw that the people bowing before her were actually a group of disorganized Sorcerers.
"Grim is currently exploring the Fire Elemental Plane and will not be able to return to the family for the time being. Before coming here, I have already met with Alice. The crisis that the Crimson Throne is facing this time is most likely a plot by an enemy behind the scenes against Grim! "
"Lady Mary, could you please explain the specific situation in detail?" Draconian Zacha was indeed the most loyal Soul Slave. Once he heard that the mission this time might involve the safety of his master, his anger was instantly ignited.
"The current situation is very complicated. I can only describe it in simple terms." Mary licked her red lips and said sternly, "Grim went to the Fire Elemental Plane with the help of the power of the Crimson Throne Wizard Pagoda and left the coordinates of the plane here. Once this place is attacked and the coordinates are lost, Grim will have to go through a lot of trouble to return! "
"Are you saying that those bastards are targeting this place to make our master get lost in another plane?" Draconian Zacha's voice immediately rose by an octave. Dazzling lightning crackled on the body of the Draconian, who was covered in azure scales.
"That's right!" Mary nodded and said, "So, before Grim returns, we must guard the Wizard Pagoda closely and not let them destroy the coordinates of this place."
"Understood, Lady Mary!" Draconian Zacha immediately became murderous, "Before our master successfully returns, Zacha is willing to listen to Lady Mary's orders and beat those bastards back to their nests!"
Mary nodded in satisfaction, her gaze quickly focusing on the Gnome Tigole.
Faced with the mental pressure of a Level 2 Vampire Wizard, even someone as experienced as Tigole could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. He cursed the big fellow's straightforwardness and recklessness in his heart. Then, he sighed with sorrow. He could only force a smile and step forwards.
"Lady Mary, while Lord Grim is not here, I am also willing to listen to your orders!"
Since the two Level 2 reinforcements of the family had agreed, it was easy to assign the following tasks. As for the Level 1 Magi within the family, they could only bow their heads and listen to orders in such a situation. They had no right to bargain.
"Gargamel, you can now report the situation of the enemy …"
"Yes, Lady Mary!"
Gargamel obeyed and stepped out from the side. He cleared his throat and looked around at the core Magi of the family, then began to introduce them in a loud voice.
"Currently, there are five factions preparing to attack the Crimson Family. The Camara Family, the Andal Family, the Senas Family, the Demonic Forest Hut, the Leyton Wizard Academy …"
"They have gathered most of their forces and stationed them in the Camara Family's territory, preparing to use it as a springboard to quickly invade the Crimson Family …"
