Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang sat on top of a mountain.

Soon, the war would officially start.

At this moment, Shang was already inside the Zone he had been assigned to.

Shang had seen a couple of other Ancestral Mages in his Zone but not even a single other warrior.

On top of that, the number of Ancestral Mages in this Zone was not nearly as high as in other Zones.

How come?

Was this Zone unimportant?

No, the opposite, actually.

This was probably the most important Zone of the entire Lightning Manor.

This was the southeastern corner of the Lightning Manor, the only Zone that bordered three other Empires instead of one.

The Zone wasn't very big, only 100,000 kilometers wide and long, but it was extremely important.

Empires were only allowed to attack a territory that shared a border with their own territories.

At this moment, only a small part of the Zone bordered the Judgment Palace's territory, but if that small part got conquered by the Judgment Palace, they would gain access to more territories.

It was like infecting a corner square of a chessboard with a disease that could only affect bordering squares.

The disease could infect one square, then two at once, three at once, four at once, and so on.

Because of that, the Lightning Manor couldn't allow the Judgment Palace to even gain a single piece of territory.

That was why Shang and the strongest Ancestral Mages of every level were in this place.

This place alone had 20 Ancestral Mage Clouds, which was insane.

But due to that, there were also not many normal Ancestral Mages.

One had to remember that the number of normal Ancestral Mages is many times greater than the number of Cloud Ancestral Mages.

And since the war favored quality over quantity the higher the Realm was, there also was no need for many other Ancestral Mages in this place.

Shang had noticed that the levels of the Cloud Ancestral Mages around him were split evenly.

There were five Peak Ancestral Mages, five Late Ancestral Mages, five Mid Ancestral Mages, and five Early Ancestral Mages.

All of this had been brought here to defend from the Judgment Palace.

Naturally, based on the composition of the defensive forces, it was apparent that this would not be a normal war where two armies just clashed with each other.

Something like that was too chaotic and would allow for too much interference of irrelevant powers.

Additionally, the current and future powers of the Empire were supposed to be tested in this war.

The way this war would be fought was much more orderly.
