Sword God in a World of Magic

After talking with Jerald for a while, Shang left again.

From what Mervin had told him, the frequency of the assaults had decreased tremendously.

Shang and Mervin were in agreement that the Magic Purity Kingdom probably feared a counterattack from the Skythunder Kingdom with all their forces.

Luckily, they didn't know that what they had encountered today was basically all the available forces the Skythunder Kingdom possessed.

If the Magic Purity Kingdom knew of the civil war, they would have probably gathered the majority of their forces in one all-out attack.

That would have proven to be devastating for the Skythunder Kingdom.

Nevertheless, Shang remained on standby in case the Magic Purity Kingdom launched another assault.

But when three days passed with only some unimportant skirmishes happening, Shang decided that he no longer needed to remain on standby. After all, Sylvia was also ready to intervene.

Additionally, Jerald would soon return from the western Skythunder Kingdom.

Most of the citizens of the western Skythunder Kingdom had already evacuated to the central Skythunder Kingdom. They didn't do so willingly but because they had to.

The Magic Purity Kingdom was infamous for its hatred of impure people. Every citizen and Mage that lived together with warriors was an enemy to the Magic Purity Kingdom.

The Skythunder Kingdom became way more crowded, but there was still enough space for all the new citizens. They simply had to add one or two more towns per Zone, which wasn't that much.

Jerald's Inquisitors were working overtime, and they had already executed over a thousand True Mages in the past couple of days.

It was a bloodbath, and it weakened the Skythunder Kingdom.

However, this would ensure longtime prosperity and unity.

Jerald became extremely hated amongst the citizens, but there was nothing major they could do.

The most they could do was to emigrate to the Spirit Spring Kingdom, and quite a bit of the citizens did so, but that wasn't really that damaging to the Kingdom.

Yes, citizens brought in taxes and business, but gold and normal goods had nearly zero impact on a Kingdom's actual power.

The True Path Stage resources were the most important things for a Kingdom's power.

As Shang left his position, his mind wandered away from the war and entered training mode.

It had been quite a while since he had been able to train to his heart's content, and even more, he could now train wherever he wanted in the Skythunder Kingdom.

But before he actually started training, he had to think about a way to actually progress.
