Building a skyscraper to survive, all the female colleagues in the company begged me to carry them.

Three genuine super-level magic circles simultaneously unfolded in the night sky.

The light, in shades of bluish-white, dark purple, and grayish-blue, swirled and intertwined, turning the entire sky into a melting palette.

Joanna stood there, looking up at the rotating magic circles, her understanding constantly being refreshed.

She turned to Elodie and asked, "Butler, how...how did he do that?"

"Even a Grand Magister couldn't possibly cast three super-tier spells consecutively without any incantation!"

Elodie's gaze also fell upon the sky that was being covered in light:

"I'm not entirely sure about the specific methods either."

"But from what I've observed, he must have used some kind of special tool, similar to a magic scroll. It allows him to cast spells directly without needing his own magic power."

Joanna secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "So he was relying on external forces. He's not that strong after all. Let's see what he can do after he runs out of his tools!"

Her gaze lingered on Huang Tang's retreating figure for a moment.

Just a moment ago, she thought Huang Tang was some kind of dragon!

The three magic circles above our heads were still spinning and coalescing, and the oppressive feeling was getting stronger and stronger!

"His ability to summon the dead pope shows that he is far more than he appears," Elodie said.

"Perhaps... he has other trump cards up his sleeve."

Joanna scoffed, "It's just pure luck."

In her mind, Huang Tang, as a heretic, could never compare to the wise and mighty "patriarch"!

Especially when she heard Talia call Huang Tang "master", the feeling of something stuck in her throat almost overflowed!

He's just a heretic, what right does he have to make the patriarch bow down to him!

……

In the distance, five legion commanders, including Big Beard, were directing their troops in an orderly resistance.

The blizzard in the Ice Roar area was partially blocked by the mage's fire wall.

The illusions created by the storm of demons and monsters are also being dispersed by the Holy Light disc player.

The wind and thunder attacks of the demonic wind and thunder were breached in several places by the slashing of more than ten high-level swordsmen.

Although the Knights' defenses were shaky, they never completely collapsed.

Huang Tang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the soldiers struggling to maintain their formation:

"As expected of the Knights' elite, they are indeed different from the ragtag army."

Lan Mutang leaned closer and asked, "What should we do? Once the super-level magic ends, it'll be our turn to suffer!"

Talia also spoke up, "Do we need to help?"

Huang Tang shook his head: "No need."

His gaze swept across the defensive lines of the five knightly orders.

It's easy to see that these people are just putting on a brave face, and they're almost at their limit!

We're just one step away from defeating them!

Huang Tang took out two blank cards from his system space, held them between his fingers, raised them towards the five legion commanders, and spoke confidently:

"You're already struggling to deal with three super-tier spells; I wonder if you can handle two more?"

The five legion commanders were dumbfounded.

Is there more?

All five of them tensed up.

Given the current situation, let alone two more super-tier spells, even one more high-level spell could break the deadlock, lead to their utter defeat, and cause huge casualties!

The bearded man took a deep breath, raised his voice, and shouted, "Don't believe it, everyone!"

"He's already cast three super-tier spells; I don't believe he can cast any more!"

Huang Tang chuckled, his expression calm: "Since you don't believe me, then let's try."

The small-eyed legion commander's pupils suddenly contracted.

Huang Tang's composure frightened him somewhat!

He quickly spoke up: "Wait! What exactly do you want?"

"We can talk!"

He could tell that Huang Tang didn't intend to kill them all; otherwise, there would be no need for so much nonsense.

Huang Tang's voice was not loud, but very clear:

"I promised the leader of the Cardinal Church that I would not easily cause bloodshed. So as long as you surrender and submit, I will not harm a single person."

The bearded man immediately refused:

"Don't even think about it! I don't believe you can cast five super-tier spells in a row!"

Huang Tang didn't rush to answer, but just looked at him quietly, and then said, "Think carefully! Once the super-level magic is released, I cannot stop it."

"You will be responsible for how many people die or are injured."

The boy with the small eyes quickly called out to Huang Tang, "Okay! Let's discuss it!"

Huang Tang said coldly, "Don't even think about stalling for time with this super-level magic. If I don't hear the answer you want in 30 seconds, then you can all disappear completely!"

The bearded man was the first to make his stance clear to the other four:

"I would rather die fighting than surrender!"

"What kind of magician can cast five super-tier spells in a row? Does he think he's a holy mage?"

The small-eyed legion commander turned his head and lowered his voice: "Even if he's bluffing, look at the people around him."

His gaze quickly swept over the women behind Huang Tang.

"Joanna is the third leader of the Cardinal Church. The two people next to her are Talia, the founder of the Cardinal Church, and Elodie, the former chief deacon."

"Do you think we can hold them off while simultaneously defending against three super-tier spells?"

The bearded man's gaze fell on the figure clad in red robes, and a look of fear appeared on his face:

"Talia...the fire witch who plunged the entire empire into chaos?"

"Wasn't she already dead?!"

The small-eyed legion commander said, "I have studied the history of the Cardinal Church, and I cannot be mistaken."

"Talia, in her prime, could stand head-on against the Seven Heroes! None of us could stop her!"

All five fell silent.

The light from the magic circle was still swirling overhead, and the blizzard continued to erode their defenses.

The bearded man slowly clenched his fists and said unwillingly, "But that doesn't mean we should surrender to heretics."

"You know exactly what those heretics did after conquering the city!"

The small-eyed legion commander said, "Now is not the time to talk about positions. Let's save our lives first, then we can talk about other things."

"And what's more! If he can unleash two more transcendental spells, all five knight orders will be buried here today!"

"But if he's just bluffing, we still have a chance to turn the tables in the negotiations!"

The bearded man remained silent for a long time before finally loosening his fist: "I'll listen to you."

The small-eyed legion commander rode up to Huang Tang and reined in his horse: "We can surrender, but on one condition. After you occupy Anderson City, you must not burn, kill, or loot."

"Otherwise, we will fight to the death!"

Huang Tang nodded readily: "Don't worry. I have no interest in killing."

After saying that, he took the two blank cards back.

"Furthermore, I understand what you're up to. This is your only chance to negotiate. If you dare to pull any tricks behind my back..."

He looked at the small-eyed legion commander, pausing at just the right moment, "I will wipe out Anderson City, and you all along!"

The small-eyed legion commander felt a chill run down his spine.

At that moment, he actually believed in his heart that Huang Tangzhen could keep his word!
