Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang spent the next couple of days just waiting in the camp. He obviously couldn't train in his usual way in the encampment, but he could consume another beast heart at least. It might not be the heart of an Abomination, but Shang didn't need to exclusively only use beast hearts.

By now, Shang's power was at around 97% of a Mid Commander Stage beast, and he felt that he could still grow by quite a bit. In at most three more months, he should be ready to advance to the Late Commander Stage.

Finally, five days after Shang had arrived, something happened.

The normal barbarians didn't feel like anything had changed, but Shang managed to pick up on the subtle cues.

Several of the Mage Towers were deactivated as the Mages left them. They didn't seem to act suspiciously, but they quickly made their way to the northeast of the Zone.

The Mages that managed the camp were reduced from around six to only two as the other Mages entered the Mage Towers.

But there was one change that was even more important.

The Spirit Sense of the High Mage had vanished.

'And that's my cue to leave,' Shang thought with a smirk.

The reason why Duke Whirlwind had chosen this specific frontline and this specific time was the Skythunder Kingdom's plan for the war.

Over the past couple of months, the Skythunder Kingdom had gathered more and more forces on this frontline, forcing the Grandmountain Kingdom to also station more forces here.

But then, with the help of some Magic, the forces of the Skythunder Kingdom left without the Grandmountain Kingdom noticing.

The walls, towers, and defenses were still manned to the absolute brim on the Skythunder Kingdom's side, but there was nothing behind them.

The defenses were essentially only a cardboard cutout.

Everyone else had traveled further north to attack a different frontline, which was at the northern end of this Zone.

Of course, something like this didn't come without risks. If the Grandmountain Kingdom decided to attack this place right now, the defenses of the Skythunder Kingdom might be breached, which would be devastating.

However, the Skythunder Kingdom was certain that the Grandmountain Kingdom wouldn't do that.

They were simply too intimidated.

They were doing their best just to keep the Skythunder Kingdom at bay, and they were even failing at that.

Actively attacking such an enemy?

That was suicide!
