Steadfast Wizard: From Heart-Swapping Rat to Dimensional Demon God

Behind Isaac, watching the retreating Orc army, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Had this crisis been... resolved?

Is it that simple?

So fast?

After watching the retreating orc army for a moment, and seeing that it really wasn't a feint, a huge weight was lifted from his heart. It was truly... over...

Although the war will not stop immediately, and the Black Orcs will certainly launch another attack soon, the most difficult wave has been overcome, and the rest will be much simpler.

Firstly, it would be difficult for the Black Orcs to muster an army of such size again. Secondly, they now have enough time to take the initiative and prevent the Black Orcs from gathering their strength. With Caesar, a high knight, leading the way, it can be said that they will never be able to regroup their army!

Unless they simultaneously send five or more high-level beings comparable to high-ranking knights to surround Caesar.

But if they had so many advanced beings, they wouldn't have been blocked by the Solomon family for so many years. Or rather, if they really had so many experts, then this territory wouldn't have been in the hands of the Solomon family.

So although the war will continue, it no longer poses much of a threat.

And all of this is because of Isaac…

The crowd watched Isaac's retreating figure, their eyes filled with a complex mix of gratitude and fear...

Including Gaia...

……

In the council chamber, everyone took their seats, preparing to review the actions that had just taken place. However, this review was really just a calculation of the losses, since only Cheryl and Isaac had actually made a move, so there wasn't much to review.

First, there's Cheryl. Although their battle records are similar, Cheryl consumed far more resources. Whether it's the depleted magic cannonballs or the damage caused by the overloaded mage tower, it's not a small amount of money, and it can't be replenished in a short time.

The magic bullets are manageable. With the black market, imperial channels, and the Truth Association all working together, as long as we're willing to spend the money, we can replenish them within a week.

However, the mage tower is different. To repair the damage caused by overloading, ordinary formal wizards are not enough. You have to spend money to hire professionals to come and repair it. The labor and material costs are not low, and it will take at least a month.

This is only because the mage tower only fired one wave. If it fired again, it wouldn't be a matter of one or two months.

Compared to Cheryl, Isaac paid a much lower price; he only exhausted the magic power accumulated in the Flesh Nest, without even using his trump card, Infinite Magic Power.

However, the price is that this move is a one-time thing. If it is used a second time, not to mention whether the opponent will give him the chance, the Black Orc God will react immediately once He is prepared, and the descending power will hit him directly on the head!

He wasn't prepared for the rituals of the other evil gods, so he couldn't come at all.

Regardless, the results of this battle were extremely brilliant!

After a brief summary of the battle's losses, Gaia began to plan the next battle. Just as Isaac had thought, Caesar led a thousand cavalrymen to attack, cutting off the Black Orcs' supply lines and constantly harassing them.

Barry continued to bury himself in training, striving to break through to the level of a high-ranking knight as soon as possible. Only when he broke through could Solomon Fortress truly be considered impregnable!

Cheryl was in charge of repairing the magic cannons and mage towers, and also replenishing some magic cannon shells. As for why she didn't replenish them completely, well, it was because she was out of money...

The rest of the group had more freedom to choose their actions, whether they stayed in the fortress to prepare for battle, followed Caesar out of the fortress to hunt, or patrolled around the fortress.

Isaac really wanted to go out with Caesar. He had been here for so long and had always heard them talk about how strong the high knights were, but he had never actually seen the power of a high knight. He was actually quite curious.

Unfortunately, during the battle just now, he discovered many of his own shortcomings, but he also had a lot of ideas. He was busy conducting experiments and didn't have time to run around.

We can see how strong the high knights really are later, but if we miss the inspiration for our research, then we've truly missed it.

So in the end, he decided to stay in the lab and not go anywhere else.

Soon, after the brief meeting ended, everyone left the council hall one by one, and before long, only Gaia, Caesar, and Cheryl remained.

Of the three, Gaia and Cheryl looked solemn, while Caesar looked puzzled.

"Isaac must leave!"

After everyone left, Cheryl got straight to the point without waiting for Caesar to ask any questions.

"What do you mean?!" Upon hearing this, Caesar frowned immediately.

"Because he's dangerous!" Cheryl said in a deep voice. "I know you care about him, but I hope you understand that the Isaac we know now is not the same weak and gentle Isaac we used to know. He has now become a complete mad witch!"

If he stays in the fortress, he'll bring trouble to everyone sooner or later! I've seen too many mad witches die; all of them, until their deaths, were incredibly confident in themselves! They believed they could win the deal with the Outer Gods, and Isaac is like that now.

"But he..."

"You mean he's always been cautious since he was a child?" Before Caesar could finish speaking, Cheryl interrupted him, asking, "Then why don't you compare his recent actions with his past behavior, and think carefully about whether he's changed or not!"

Caesar fell silent.

Seeing Caesar remain silent, Cheryl's tone softened as well. She sighed and said softly, "I don't mean for him to completely sever ties with the family. I just think he can't stay in the fortress. The fortress is the most important line of defense for the territory. It is of paramount importance and must not be lost."

He can go anywhere else in the territory besides here. I'll also give him a letter of recommendation, recommending him to a good wizarding organization. After all, we're family, no matter what.

After saying this, Cheryl breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Caesar did not refute her, and then looked at Gaia.

However, she knew that since Caesar hadn't refused, the matter was basically settled, because her father's thoughts were definitely the same as hers.

Sure enough, Gaia nodded slightly: "Let's do as Cheryl says. Is that wizarding organization you mentioned reliable?"

"The Cult of Flesh and Blood, one of the oldest wizarding organizations, is the upper echelon of the Tower of Flesh and Blood that Isaac currently wants to join. It has a well-established system for training new members and an incredibly rich collection of wizarding knowledge, which perfectly meets his needs," Cheryl said solemnly.

As she said, her suggestion to let Isaac leave the fortress was purely out of concern that the increasingly insane Isaac would destroy the fortress because of his deal with the Outer Gods; aside from that, she was still Isaac's older sister.

"The Cult of Flesh and Blood? The wizarding organization that the eldest princess joined? I remember it's very difficult to get in, right? Don't try to be a hero!" Gaia frowned slightly.
