#206 - Wizarding Wars on the Island

As the true leader of the Unbelievers on the Vena Islands, Guy Cooper had always believed his arrangements and plans were very secretive.

As long as they could seize control of Aurum Island this time, the advantage of the Unbelievers and Spellcasters on the Vena Islands would undergo a complete transformation.

At that time, the Unbelievers would occupy three main islands, while the Spellcasters would only have two.

Moreover, the area and population of the islands they occupied would be stronger than the other side.

Most importantly, occupying Aurum Island would cut off the connection between the remaining two islands of the Federal Spellcasters,

making it impossible for the defenders to support each other.

Precisely because he knew the importance of this island seizure, Guy Cooper not only concentrated the main members of the Unbelievers on this island but also tried to prepare a batch of secret weapons.

As for the rear, he entrusted it to his trusted aide Montoya, who possessed outstanding strength, and even lent him his magic pet [Flame Ridge Serpent].

However, the raven did not find Montoya, which made the leader of the Unbelievers realize that his plan might be at risk of being exposed.

As for who killed Montoya, he was too lazy to guess which magician could kill the Flame Ridge Serpent and prevent Montoya from escaping.

On the Vena Islands, apart from the three old guys who lived in seclusion on Star Ash Island, there was only Dylan Taft, the Federal Navy Vice Admiral who was proficient in water magic.

"Damn water rat, to think you'd take the back road while I was preparing, don't blame me for being ruthless this time."

The struggle between the Unbelievers and the Spellcasters had been going on for more than thirty years on the Vena Islands.

They knew each other very well, and because of this, the Unbeliever leader immediately identified the murderer after his magic pet had an accident.

So that night, even though his side's preparations were not very adequate, Guy immediately launched an attack.

He knew that if the Unbelievers' preparations were inadequate, the Spellcasters' preparations would definitely be even more insufficient.

Moreover, he guessed that his old rival, Vice Admiral Dylan, would never be able to easily take down Montoya and the Flame Ridge Serpent.

He had to launch a surprise attack while the opponent had not yet recovered.

The situation was exactly as Guy had predicted.

After he distributed the transformation potions to his subordinates, the were-beast wizards, blessed with powerful bodies and speed, easily broke through the city guarded by the Spellcasters.

On the first day, Brown City fell, and the were-beast Unbelievers entered the city and massacred a large number of residents.

On the second day, Torgro City and Valon Fortress fell.

The Federal Navy's ships were burned down by the fire caused by the Unbelievers, and countless people were killed and injured.

On the third day, Navy Vice Admiral Dylan Taft gathered all the Spellcasters and troops at Cavel Fortress, preparing to fight the Unbelievers to the death.

However, he still underestimated the treachery of the Unbelievers, who had their magic pets add poisonous potions to the fortress's drinking water in advance.

This caused the Spellcasters to suffer another heavy blow.

However, it was also at the time when the Unbelievers were preparing to accept the new territory.

Outside Cavel Fortress, less than five kilometers away at Radihans Port, the Spellcasters' reinforcements arrived.

Federal Army Lieutenant General: Layton Gavin.

As the Federal Army's most veteran soldier and the Spellcaster with the highest combat power,

Lieutenant General Layton's joining completely reversed the battle situation.

Especially with his cooperation with the Navy Vice Admiral, the Unbeliever leader Guy Cooper directly abandoned the cities he now occupied and hid in the mountains and forests of Aurum Island.

"Dylan, what's going on? Didn't you say you could easily deal with this group of venomous snakes who like to occupy nests!"

After the battle, as old friends who had worked together for many years, Layton couldn't help but be curious as to why the war had become like this.

"Don't mention it, I don't know where these venomous snakes got a group of magic pets, each of which can transform into monsters,

They are too fast and have magic, which makes us unable to cope at all."

Vice Admiral Dylan was also very depressed. He had originally prepared to fight a protracted war with the Unbelievers on Aurum Island.

But he didn't expect this group of foreign wizards to not only launch a surprise attack but also greatly increase their strength, which led to his defeat without any precautions.

"Magic pets? Transformation? Are you saying they might have outside help?"

Layton couldn't help but be surprised when he heard about this kind of fighting method.

"Definitely, I've dealt with them for so many years, I know them very well."

Vice Admiral Dylan said and couldn't help but slap the table.

But the movement was too big, and it tore open a claw mark on his chest.

"Hiss, only two or three of these venomous snake magicians originally possessed the ability to transform, but this time, a dozen transformed monsters attacked the castle, and the cannons couldn't even aim before they were destroyed."

Listening to Vice Admiral Dylan's description, Lieutenant General Layton's expression unconsciously turned cold.

"By the way, why did you come to the Vena Islands this time? Isn't the war on the mainland also starting?"

Seeing that Layton stopped talking, Vice Admiral Dylan asked curiously.

Because this battle happened very suddenly, the request for help he sent to the Federation only left yesterday.

But he didn't expect that his friend would arrive with reinforcements today.

"The battle on Snow Eagle Mountain has begun, but the war there is a bit strange.....

As the commander-in-chief of the Federal army stationed on Snow Eagle Mountain, Layton had always been on the front line.

Moreover, as a representative who grew up in the last war with the Menelaus Empire, he knew the opponent's fighting very well.

But this time, after completing a surprise attack, the Menelaus Empire seemed to be deliberately suppressing the progress of the war.

Especially the court mages, they used their powers even less.

Only those few [Night Owls] would cause a little damage to the defense line.

As for the big war, it hasn't even started yet.

This kind of war made Layton puzzled.

It wasn't until recently that the undercover agents placed in the Menelaus Empire by the Federation discovered the court mages' movements that he guessed that this might be related to what the other party was looking for in Xilin Town.

Later, after learning that a senior court mage from the Menelaus Empire had gone to sea and arrived at the Vena Islands, he immediately applied to the Federation's Five-Man Council to come here.

After sailing for most of the journey, he encountered Vice Admiral Dylan's request for help.

"Are you saying that the court mages of the Menelaus Empire are also here? Could it be that the Unbelievers are backed by them?"

After listening to Layton's description, Vice Admiral Dylan subconsciously thought of the Federation's two enemies together.

"It shouldn't be, according to the strength of the Unbelievers you said, this is not a force that the court mages can support."

As a general who had fought with the Menelaus Empire for a lifetime, Layton still knew the subordinates of these mad kings very well.

They are indeed good at using magic potions, but transformation magic has never been seen.

Especially in the Federation's Spellcaster Academy, there is also a former senior court mage.

This current vice president of the Spellcaster Academy has also informed most of the magic mastered by the court mages.

There is no transformation magic among them.

"Then who could it be? It can't be the Holy Church, right!"

Dylan suddenly felt a little annoyed.

This time, his soldiers suffered heavy losses. Now that the Unbelievers have hid, and the mastermind behind the scenes is unknown.

This made him not know who to seek revenge from.

"No matter who it is, since the other party doesn't show up, we can't pursue it now."

"What do you mean! Did my soldiers die in vain!"

Hearing Dylan's words, Layton had no way to refute.

But he knew that being able to come up with magic more advanced than that of the court mages and provide it to the Unbelievers.

Such a force is definitely not something the Federation can provoke.

Especially since they are still at war with the Menelaus Empire, even if they know the other party's identity, they do not have the ability to fight on two fronts.

After venting for a while, Dylan also understood the key to the matter, and he helplessly sat back in his chair.

"Since we can't move the people behind the scenes, then let's take back the Vena Islands this time. Anyway, you're here,

The two of us can definitely kill this venomous snake!"

Vice Admiral Dylan had been suffocated by the Unbelievers for years.

Now that he saw his friend finally arriving on the islands, he naturally wanted to get rid of the other party.

"Let's take back Aurum Island first, as for the other islands, we'll talk about them later."

Layton refused Dylan's request without even thinking about it.

"Why? That's Federal territory."

"I know that's Federal territory, but I haven't figured out why the court mages came here yet. If we are fighting the Unbelievers, and the other party launches a sneak attack from behind......"

"Alright, stop talking, I'll listen to you.

After listening to Layton's analysis, Vice Admiral Dylan reluctantly compromised.

It was also when the two high-level Federal generals were discussing countermeasures that Moon had packed his things and was preparing to return to Hogwarts.
