146: Chapter 146 Nip the Forbidden Spell in the Bud

"Mhm, good, hahahaha!" Wei He nodded with satisfaction and walked toward Captain Kete's residence in Nanshan Town while laughing.

In Captain Kete's residence, Wei He enjoyed the meticulous service of the servants. He slowly sipped his tea, though he didn't really know what made it taste so good, while simultaneously commanding the system in his mind to surround the Magic Legion outside Ande Valley with all the tanks. This resulted in the grand spectacle of the all-day bombardment of the Magic Legion.

As for Nanshan here in Nanshan Town, because of Du Yu, the entire Nanshan had turned into a golden mountain. From the Harsh Forest, Wei He directly used the chronosphere to transport the MCV to the vicinity of Nanshan. After unfolding it, he began the intensive construction of an Allied Ore Refinery.

Furthermore, Wei He drafted a large number of laborers from the various small cities under his control to mine in Nanshan. Of course, Wei He paid wages far exceeding the standards of this continent to make these people work for him. After all, he came from that Red Flag-filled place on Blue Star, so he was certainly different from the wealthy landlords of this continent.

After finishing this, Captain Kete walked in with a fawning smile. Following behind him were more than a dozen girls dressed lightly, with fair skin and beautiful features. Wei He's eyes instantly lit up when he saw them.

"Lord Commander, these are all commoners who have long admired you. After they learned you had come to Nanshan Town, they were all very happy and wanted to meet you!" Captain Kete said to Wei He with a sycophantic smile.

"When your superiors used to come, you did the same thing, didn't you? Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm telling you, I'm not that kind of person. Hurry up and get them out. Don't let anyone disturb me while I'm working, understand?" Wei He said with a stern face, looking at Captain Kete very seriously.

"Yes, yes! You lot, get out quickly! Don't make the Lord Commander angry!" Seeing Wei He's darkened expression, Captain Kete hastily shouted at the women to leave.

"You'd better hurry up and conscript laborers to mine in Nanshan. Remember, you must pay them the agreed-upon wages. Alright, you may leave!" Wei He waved his hand, signaling Captain Kete to depart.

"As you command, Lord Commander! This subordinate will surely complete the task you've assigned!" After speaking respectfully, Captain Kete walked out quickly.

After watching Captain Kete leave, a trace of regret appeared on Wei He's face. Although he liked beautiful women, he couldn't betray Su Qinglei; he absolutely could not become a Chen Shimei in this other world.

While Wei He was feeling regretful, the battle outside Ande Valley was nearing its end. The Magic Legion, which originally had several thousand people left, had lost half its numbers in battle under Wei He's relentless siege. The other half, suffering from hunger and cold, raised white flags to the Red Alert Troops one after another. Now, on the Magic Legion's positions, only the White-Robed Magician and the Red-Robed Magicians beside him remained.

"Grand Magician, please leave first! Leave this place to us. Those lowly Puppet Beasts of theirs cannot stop you!" the few remaining Red-Robed Magicians said to the White-Robed Magician.

"Hmph, I cannot leave. Deserting in the face of the enemy is a magician's disgrace. If I flee, how would I be any different from those spineless cowards who surrendered? I will not leave; I will burn my last drop of blood for the Magic Empire!" Although the White-Robed Magician's face no longer held its former glory, his gaze was exceptionally determined.

"You all, escape quickly! I have mostly recovered the energy consumed by using the Forbidden Spell a few days ago. I can use the Forbidden Spell one more time to cover you. Remember, you must report the situation here truthfully to Emperor Alexander the Great. Without supplies for so long, I expect the messengers sent back were all dealt with by Wei He's people. So, it all depends on you. You must be careful. Go now!" After saying this, the White-Robed Magician raised his hands, and a great golden light erupted from them, shooting two golden beams into the sky.

"Grand Magician, please take care!" The several Red-Robed Magicians had just finished speaking when their eyes suddenly bulged. They sensed multiple powerful forces appearing around them.

With a swish, over a dozen Chrono Legionnaires appeared around them. While they were still in shock, multiple Eraser Rays were already fired at them. Even the overbearing White-Robed Magician, who was still in the middle of casting, was suppressed by an Eraser Ray. At that moment, their bodies became completely immobile, and they couldn't even circulate their magic energy. They were truly helpless, unable to call for help even if they wanted to—and of course, they couldn't even make a sound now.

Because the number of Chrono Legionnaires sent this time was several times theirs, they soon began to disappear from the spot one by one. Even if someone disappeared right before their eyes, they couldn't even move an eyelash, forced to watch their comrades vanish one by one. Naturally, they could only wait for themselves to vanish as well; the only thing they could do was think about these matters in their minds.

When the last person, the White-Robed Magician, also disappeared, the entire Red Alert Troops erupted in earth-shaking cheers. Wei He watched this scene through the red alert system and thought to himself, "Trying to repeat the same old trick and use a Forbidden Spell? Not a chance! Although I have Du Yu now, I can't let you wreak such havoc. Hmph!"

After the battle ended, Ande Valley returned to Wei He's hands. Wei He finally turned his attention back to Laiseluo City. Previously, to cut off the Magic Legion's supplies, Wei He had ordered Spies to burn their granaries and set fires throughout the city to create chaos. Now it seemed the effect was quite good; he could make the chaotic situation even larger.

The corners of Wei He's mouth curled up slightly into a wicked smile. He slowly opened the door, preparing to walk out, but the moment he opened it, he saw Su Qinglei again, and the surrounding environment had changed back to his room on Blue Star.

Wei He realized this was another of Tang Xiaowei's tricks. Supernatural Ability energy circulated through his body as he shouted, "Golden Body Protection!"

Wei He's entire body turned golden-yellow, and he returned once more to Captain Kete's residence. Tang Xiaowei was standing in front of him, her large, watery eyes staring straight at him.

"I knew it was you again. I let you off once last time. Don't think I didn't know you were hiding in Kela City; your every move cannot escape my eyes!" Wei He looked at the bright and beautiful woman before him. Although he felt a pang of reluctance in his heart, he still spoke fiercely.

"I know, of course I know. The whole city is full of your scouts; how could I possibly hide? But I also spared your life once. Did you really think you could escape my illusion? If you weren't different from everyone else, I would have killed you long ago! Hmph!" Tang Xiaowei shouted back at Wei He, refusing to back down.

"Oh, really? So you're that powerful? Then don't spare me; come on, let's see who's stronger!" As Wei He spoke, he tightly clenched his golden fists. The sound of metal clashing was enough to make anyone tremble with fear.
