Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Once Zhao Manyan activated his defenses, high-level magic couldn't break through them at all.

Moreover, Zhao Manyan's entire body is covered in defensive magic; he's probably the only one who uses Lightfall as a defensive skill.

"Unnie, if you keep doing this, I really won't be polite!" Zhao Manyan was not someone to be trifled with, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"Kill him!" Oni shouted hysterically, completely irrational.

The newly arrived mages from the Red Ornament Guild looked at each other, their hearts pounding with apprehension.

Even the high-level spell "Earthquake" couldn't do anything to this kid. Wouldn't it be suicide for us mid-level mages to go up there?
To put it simply, Zhao Manyan is like a rock in a toilet—stinky and hard! What use are these mid-level mages? It's like throwing their skills at a stinky and hard toilet rock.

Zhao Manyan's mind raced. He gradually realized that Oni and her group were the real scourge; how could everyone in a village be a mage?

If they truly possessed such strength, why would they fear those three hundred ordinary people who showed no magical fluctuations?

"They are the pirates, aren't they?" Zhao Manyan asked in a deep voice, his eyes sharpening.

"You're only just realizing it now?" Mo Fan cursed irritably, his hands moving non-stop as he unleashed another fire spell!

“These pirates have committed numerous atrocities in the area. The bounty is very high. Whether it’s a corpse or a live capture, it’s actually the same price, but I choose the corpse…” Lin Lan said.

The local government officials are complicit in the wrongdoing; arresting them wouldn't bring them much profit, so it's better to kill them.

There's also a high-ranking mage named Kaso, but that's not a big problem either; it can be easily resolved.

Kaso, the strongest poison mage in the Caribbean, is someone Lin Lan has rarely seen.

"That sounds a bit strange..." Mu Nujiao said.

"It's been a while since we've been active. These pirates are perfect. Let's wipe them all out, Frost Thunderhawk!"

Lin Lan stretched out her hand, and in an instant, a moonlit star trail streaked across the sky.

A biting wind swept through like a knife, and the Frost Thunderhawk passed through the gate of the summoning plane, bringing with it snow-white frost, transforming into an ice and snow lord! Standing tall in the sky!!

"Commander-in-Chief..."

"It's over, there's no escaping now..."

Unnie was even more incredulous, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

……

……

In just three minutes, all the members of the Red Ornaments Guild were lying on the ground, dead.

Unnie died in the same way, but in an even more gruesome manner.

As soon as the killings were finished, government officials arrived.

It's unclear who informed the government, or if the government became aware of the information... In any case, the government officials who came were there to protect these people.

Knowing the plot, Lin Lan understood this perfectly: the government officials, who seemed to be taking them all away, actually wanted to set them free and spare them from disaster.

However, they were all dead.

As a result, the government officials who arrived were completely bewildered and didn't know what to say. They carried all the bodies away and asked the villagers who had done it.

Lin Lan and the others naturally enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

……

"I have a feeling there's something wrong with these government officials?" Mu Nujiao asked in a low voice.

"I think so too. They came right after we finished, and although they were supposed to be thanking us, I noticed the anger in their eyes," Jiang Shaoxu said. "Of course there's something wrong. They killed so many people from the Red Ornament Guild, and they didn't say a word about paying us..." Mo Fan said resentfully. "Damn, I've been working for nothing!"

……

Back at the Nationalist government team, the mission was assigned.

The Three Kingdoms National Government Team wiped out the Red Ornament Guild.

However, Lin Lan estimated that even if he didn't go looking for Kasuo, Kasuo would come looking for him.

The reward for defeating the Red Ornament Guild is a Dark Noble Cloak! A three-way battle!!
Although Lin Lan doesn't have the Shadow element, that doesn't mean she won't in the future, so she definitely needs to be taken down.

……

The investigation was conducted very quickly with the cooperation of the three countries.

Moreover, Casso was desperate to find the person who killed so many of his men, and he even took action himself...

Having already lost so many of his men, he still chose the mayor, with whom he had always cooperated, just in case.

Whitehead Port, the location of Caso's base camp.

Mayor Lauren was leading a team of military mages in dark blue uniforms down the gangway, their orderly footsteps echoing across the ship plaza.

He surveyed his surroundings with a somber expression, his sharp gaze sweeping over the young mages who came to block his way, like a hawk's.

"Block all passages," Lauren ordered in a deep voice, her tone carrying an unquestionable authority.

The well-trained military mages immediately deployed their forces, completely blocking the main routes to the target ship, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

Shao Heya, leading the Japanese team, frowned when he saw the formation before him. Why were government troops here? Had the intelligence leaked?

“We are here on orders from the Temple of Liberty to wipe out the Red Ornament Guild.” Shao Hegu stepped forward, cautiously probing, “Is this also why you came, sir?”

Lauren gave a cold laugh, his heavy breath condensing into white mist in the air. "Suppressing bandits is the government's responsibility; it's none of your business, students." He gestured for the military magistrates behind him to be on guard. "Leave immediately. This isn't an amusement park."

Shao Hegu's gaze swept past the military formation, locking onto the dark bar ship in the distance. Intelligence indicated that the core members of the Red Ornament Guild were all on board, yet the government forces were now acting as their protectors?

“How ironic,” Nan Jue said, arms crossed, his voice full of sarcasm, “that a municipal government would collude with criminals.”

Lauren's brow furrowed deeply. "Watch your words!" he snapped. "Those are reserve military mages about to be incorporated into the army; it's none of your business to tell them what to do!"

"Recruit them?" Shao Hegu raised his voice incredulously. "You want to recruit these butchers?"

"This is the last warning. If you obstruct official business again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Japanese female sailor, her face flushed with anger, exclaimed, "Mayor, you're bowing down to thugs! What about the victims' families?"

"Shut up!" Lauren suddenly roared. "What do you hothouse flowers know? If the Temple of Liberty really cared about this place, why didn't you send your elite troops to wipe out the sirens? Every disaster season, all they do is hide in the temple and issue orders!"

Nan Jue said, "Trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin will ultimately backfire. All regimes in history that have pacified bandits..."

"Enough!" Lauren waved his hand to interrupt. "How could you possibly understand our national situation? Without sufficient military strength and adequate funding, how can we fight the sea monsters?" He pointed to the distant horizon. "Thousands upon thousands of sea monsters could swarm in at any moment, and the Crimson Ornament Guild knows this area well!"

Shao Hegu's magical artifact began to hum: "We can join forces to completely eradicate this scourge!"

"Naive!" Lauren scoffed. "Now, immediately, get out of here! Otherwise, you will be arrested for endangering public safety!"

Nan Jue's communicator suddenly lit up with the emblem of the Temple of Liberty.

"I told you, don't try to intimidate me with the Temple of Liberty! This city has survived to this day because of my decisions!"
