Sword God in a World of Magic

After obliterating the second two-star Defender Flag, Shang strategically placed an attack flag, causing hesitation among potential attackers.

The Judgment Palace foresaw the upcoming challenges as they couldn't ensure the integrity of their long defense line.

The longer the line was disconnected from the Judgment Palace, the harder it became to deploy new Archmages.

If the Empress of Death had terminated her contract, the Judgment Palace could have traveled freely through the Land and Sky Empire.

Unfortunately, that was merely a possibility at the moment. Acting swiftly, the Mage King from the Judgment Palace deployed several attack flags in the north of the Land and Sky Empire within minutes.

While the Land and Sky Empire wasn't pleased with this development, they recognized the need to widen their defense line by at least three territories.

This strategy allowed the Judgment Palace to have one territory attacked by Shang, one territory attacked by themselves after Shang's conquest, and one territory left unscathed, providing a pathway for their forces.

However, due to the territorial allocation for Mage Lords, each territory was a massive 100,000 kilometers wide.

Given Shang's ability to attack any part of the line, the entire defense had to be three territories thick.

Consequently, the Land and Sky Empire sacrificed a significant portion of their empire, one million kilometers long and 300,000 kilometers wide, to fortify the Judgment Palace's line.

After the disappearance of Shang's attack flag, he noticed numerous impending attack flags around him, but he refrained from getting involved since they didn't directly concern the Lightning Manor.

The Starlight Queen informed Shang about the developments, to which he nodded in understanding.

Eventually, all the attack flags manifested, creating a formidable and expansive line for the Judgment Palace.
