The Sorcerer World.
During this period of time, the Crimson Family's situation in the scattered Tower Forest was getting worse by the day.
A rumor had started spreading that the legendary Fire Wizard who had single-handedly created the Crimson Family had died in another dimension, and the higher-ups of the Crimson Family had chosen to keep it a secret so as not to shake the foundation of the family.
This rumor seemed ridiculous, but it really hit the Crimson Family's weak spot.
The Crimson Family was divided into many factions. If it wasn't for the legendary Fire Shaman using his power to suppress all the voices of dissent, as well as the loyal support of Magi like Mary, Alice, and Winlier, no one would have been able to gather the Vampires, Gnomes, Giant Dragons, and Witches together to form a powerful force that would terrify the outside world.
Grimm had not appeared in the family for many years. The other core member, the Witch of Destiny, Alice, was also living in seclusion, hiding in the Tower of Destiny all year round. The internal operations of the family were supported by the two Grade 1 Magi, Gargamel and Winlier.
As for the family's high-grade battle power, the only one left was the Grade 3 Vampire Magus, Mary.
Under these circumstances, some unstable factors within and outside the family started to stir up trouble. No matter if it was the Magi who surrendered during the Sorcerer War or the 'ambitious' goblins, they were all carefully probing the family's strength and looking for a way to break free from the family's control.
During this period of time, a few well-known large Sorcerer Families showed deep hostility towards the newly risen Crimson Family. They started to suppress the Crimson Family's members either openly or secretly.
In a short period of time, there were many incidents in the scattered Tower Forest where goblin caravans were chased away and the Crimson Family's resource points were attacked. The Crimson Family, which had already occupied close to 80% of the Elovis area, had no choice but to pull back their forces and turn to protect the most important ten or so rank 1 resource points.
As the Magus in charge, no matter how unwilling Mary was, she had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family.
In a short period of time, the Vampire Magi attacked everywhere. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. They used fierce attacks to repel the enemy's attacks again and again. They even suppressed three rebellions that tried to overthrow the Crimson Family's rule in the Elovis area.
However, the more they killed, the harder they fought, and the more difficult the situation of the Crimson Family became.
Rumors were flying everywhere, and there were flames of war everywhere. The powerful mastermind behind the scenes seemed to have the intention of not stopping until he had uprooted the Crimson Family.
Left with no choice, Mary could only use her family's authority to deploy the Grade 4 Magical Golem Dragon near the White Tower to the center of the continent as the core force guarding the Elovis area.
This action undoubtedly intimidated the mastermind behind the scenes, giving the Crimson Family a chance to breathe.
After a meticulous investigation, the higher-ups of the family, with Mary as the leader, finally found out that the mastermind behind the plot to topple the Crimson Family was the current leader of the Fabris Family, the rank 4 Body Refinement Magus Declan. Fabrice.
Truth be told, after hearing that the one causing trouble for the Crimson Family was this rank 4 Refinement Magus, most of the higher-ups of the family were astonished. After all, the Crimson Family did not have a true rank 4 Magus of their own. Hence, when they were expanding, they had always been respectful to the older Magus families and never fought with them for territory.
Now, this rank 4 Magus had suddenly appeared and attacked the Crimson Family. This … was really out of the expectations of the higher-ups of the Crimson Family.
While the higher-ups were confused, Mary, who was a core Magus, seemed to understand something.
Grim's sudden imprisonment in another plane, as well as the current predicament the family was facing, could very well be the work of a single person.
Hence, Mary, who understood the reason, gave up on the idea of negotiating with the enemy. She began to counterattack and defend the family's secular territories and resource points. Under her strong leadership, the Insect Lich Bliss, Dragonman Zacha, Goblin Tigule, and many Vampire Magi took turns to attack.
If the enemy dared to destroy one of the Crimson Family's hereditary territories, they would dare to kill all the hereditary nobles in three of the enemy's territories. If the enemy dared to attack one of the Crimson Family's resource points, they would dare to destroy five of the enemy's Magus resource points …
The Crimson Magi, who had always been fearless, were like a coiled viper, fiercely counterattacking every attack from the enemy. Even if both sides were heavily injured, they would not compromise or give in to the enemy.
At the beginning of the war, the Fabrice Family had only incited and bewitched the peripheral forces to attack and harass the Crimson Family. However, when these peripheral forces had suffered greatly in the Crimson Family's territories and were beaten into submission, the Fabrice Family finally took the initiative to attack.
As an old Magus family with a rank 4 Magus, the Fabrice Family had existed for more than 3000 years. The Crimson Family, which had only been established for less than a hundred years, could not compare to their deep foundation.
When the rank 2 and 3 Magi of the Fabrice Family appeared on the scene and joined the battle against the Crimson Family, the entire Scattered Tower Forest region could not help but boil over.
All the Magus families and academies could not help but cast their gazes towards the Elobis region, quietly waiting for the victor to be decided between the two Magus families, one big and one small. There were those who were discussing spiritedly, those who were onlookers, and those who pretended to be deep in thought were giving pointers …
However, no matter how they discussed and analyzed, the Crimson Family would not be lucky enough to win in this Magus War. After all, one side had a rank 4 Magus, as well as over 30 rank 2 and 3 Magi, while the other side only had two rank 3 Magi and a group of rank 3 giant dragons that did not listen to orders … The difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great, and they were not on the same level at all.
In a short period of time, the smaller forces that had seen the Crimson Family's power and followed suit all changed sides, either joining the enemy's camp or choosing to remain neutral. This caused the Crimson Family's morale to plummet.
After considering the basic strength of both sides, some busybodies announced that the Crimson Family would be completely defeated. At most, they would be able to rely on the rank 4 Magical Golem Dragon to preserve the Blazing Flame Monarch, the origin of the family. As for the rest of the mundane world and the family's resource points … They did not have the power to protect them at all!
However, the true reason for the Crimson Family's defeat was the absence of the legendary family leader, Grimm.
The Crimson Family was a Magus family that Grimm had built with his powerful charisma and battle prowess. The family's many cores were tied to Grimm alone.
As long as Grimm was around, the family would be around. Without him, the family was like a group of humans without a skeleton. They were so weak that they could not gather together to form a true force.
Whether it was the brain monsters in the Lance Plane or the group of arrogant giant dragons, they all obeyed Mary's orders on the surface but disobeyed her orders in secret. They did not use their full strength to protect the family's glory and dignity.
Even the slightly weaker goblins were rather dissatisfied with Mary's orders. If it wasn't for the powerful vampire group suppressing them, they would have to retreat to protect themselves.
In this way, there were only a few core Magi left who could listen to Mary's orders, as well as her loyal subordinates, the vampires. It would be a fool's dream to rely on such a small force to defend the vast territory and resource points in the Elobis region.
Left with no choice, Mary could only shrink the family's power again and again, giving up on the outer territories and resource points. She controlled the limited manpower in her hands and quietly waited for an opportunity to retaliate.
The heavens did not disappoint those who persevered. The Crimson Family's repeated concessions finally allowed them to fish out some valuable targets.
Delighted by the hunt, a group of Magi from the Fabris Family frantically plundered a rank 1 resource point of the Crimson Family near the Laurel Wastelands. They killed the Crimson Magi and the family's acolytes who were guarding the place.
They were led by two rank 3 Magi!
After receiving the messages for help from the family's Magi and acolytes before they died, Mary did not ignore them like she usually did. Instead, she gathered the family's elites and fiercely attacked.
The Laurel Wastelands were only about 600 miles away from the Crimson Family's core territory. The arrogant Magi of the Fabris Family did not expect Mary to be so ferocious, so they took a long time to plunder. When they were about to return to the family with their spoils of war and celebrate, Mary led seven rank 2 Vampires, as well as Bilis, Zacha, and Tigule to block their path.
After a bloodbath, the Laurel Wastelands were completely wiped off the map. Both sides paid a heavy price for this.
On the Crimson Family's side, two rank 2 Blood Elves died on the spot, Mary was heavily injured, and the rest of the family's Magi were also injured. On the Fabris Family's side, of the two rank 3 Magi leading the team, one was heavily injured and the other was lightly injured. Five rank 2 Magi had died in battle, and countless Magi had been lightly injured …
The battle in the Laurel Wastelands had thoroughly shocked the scattered tower forest!
In the eyes of the people, the only thing the Crimson Family could do when faced with the overbearing veteran Magi family was to defend the family's land of origin and silently wait for the enemy's strength to be exhausted and retreat.
No one could have imagined that the Blood Queen Mary would be so valiant. She actually dared to bite back and bite off a piece of flesh from the Fabris Family, still covered in blood and tendons. Although the deaths of five rank 2 Magi could not shake the foundation of the Fabris Family, it was equivalent to a ruthless slap in the face.
For a moment, the scattered tower forest was shocked. They all silently observed how the Fabris Family would react.
It was said that the battle in the Laurel Wastelands had caused the rank 4 Patriarch of the Fabris Family to fly into a rage.
