Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 423 - 404: Return Amidst the Flames of War (Final Volume Begins) (Part 3)
Gus turned around to look at Guxing: "Can you divine the current situation of this little rascal and Catherine’s location?"
Guxing said: "I’ve divined countless times since the Royal Court negotiations, and all I can be certain of is that this little rascal and Catherine are definitely not in the Wildfire Territory. The rest of the information is vague, and I can’t see through it."
Gus snorted: "The Lord himself isn’t even present, but his subordinate territories can silently influence the war situation? It seems we can’t end this war without first removing the pesky thorn that is the Wildfire Territory. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for us."
"You mean?"
"Let Tiago over there get ready to act." Gus said coldly, "This chess piece has been buried for so long, it’s time to play it out!"
As early as after the first Twin Flames War, Tiago, the Second Saint Son of the Magic Guild, was secretly sent to the Wildfire Territory to lay low.
At that time, Gus and the other two didn’t place much emphasis on Andrew, but they found Andrew’s exorcism of Desolate Beasts incomprehensible.
Until now, Gus and the other two finally realized: whether it’s the Wildfire Territory or Wildfire Lord Andrew, they have quietly become an indispensable force that can influence the entire Flame Realm!
"In that case, let’s prioritize eliminating this troublesome variable."
The trio quickly made arrangements.
They no longer needed to consider the matters on the Outer Battlefield, and they devoted all their energy to the current Twin Flames War.
Among the three, Guxing, who is proficient in Divination Magic and has the most sensitive Spiritual Sense, had a thought flash through his mind: "Could the missing Andrew and Catherine have some connection to the mutation in the Outer Battlefield over there?"
The thought quickly passed, and Guxing immediately dismissed it: "No, impossible. Unless accessed through our Scholar’s Fortress’s Teleportation Gate, outsiders have no way of entering that Outer Battlefield. It’s probably that pesky old whale on the Outer Battlefield doing something. Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore, Gus said there’s no need to deal with the matters on the Outer Battlefield."
Guxing no longer thought about it.
On the other side, Ancient Poison was sending a message to someone: "Over on the Wildfire Territory, Tiago is still too young, you go and assist him."
"Yes, my lord." A voice of an old, hoarse, and maliciously resentful elderly woman replied.
Thus, the war situation seemed to remain deadlocked.
The defenders of the Scholar’s Fortress, under Gus’s guidance, deliberately exposed a few flaws, pushing the "show weakness" strategy to the extreme.
However, in reality, a massive shadow was quietly passing over the Warm Fire Commerce Association army, directly stretching towards the rear of the Wildfire Territory!
Wildfire Territory.
Deep underground.
The Lake of the Ocean was no longer a shallow water area, and with the rising water level, it had become a vast underground lake rivaling the lake surrounding Warm Fire City!
The ancient blue Temple at the center of the lake was not submerged with the rising water but floated steadily, remaining firmly at the heart of the Lake of the Ocean.
Just as Gus and the other two at the Scholar’s Fortress decided to prioritize dealing with the Wildfire Territory and made detailed arrangements—
In the temple at the center of the underground lake of the Wildfire Territory, a radiant rainbow light suddenly shone, instantly illuminating the entire Temple.
The light even passed through the Temple, shining on the entire Underground Space!
A moment later, the rainbow light abruptly receded.
Andrew emerged with big strides from the retracted light.
