As the king of the Steelmane Kingdom gave up his resistance completely, he chose to join the "Imaginary Nation" after learning what the members of the "Ideal Country" organization had done and the shackles buried in the orc's body.

Its soul merged into the mental ensemble through the web that spread along with the orcs of the Bloodfang Empire, and its body lost control and went limp, resting firmly against the wall by relying only on the instincts of the flesh.

"Increase the coverage of the nodes, get more souls to join, and shape an existence with enough power so that you can take down the next node later."

The orc Basaka muttered to himself, as the Steelmane Empire was completely incorporated into the command of the "Ideal Country" forces at this moment, all the surrounding orc kingdoms have been controlled by them, and the intelligent creatures in these ranges have been either voluntarily or forced, merged into the increasingly vast mental network.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar resounded from the outside world, and within the borders of the Steelmane Kingdom, the same buildings as the towers that first appeared in the territory of the Bloodtooth Empire before tore through the earth, pierced through the void, and appeared within the material world, extending the power covering the Bloodtooth Empire here.

"Magic, witchcraft, is this the case, the berserk and tribal way of inheritance has really made the orcs lose too much over the years, and it is impossible to make intelligent beings understand each other, even if they are of the same race, without using this form."

The steelmane king, who was leaning against the wall, opened his eyes, and as the power covered the place, his consciousness was able to regain control of his body, and in his consciousness there was a wealth of information and knowledge of magic and sorcery that had been gained from the great collective of minds.

"After that, I need to spend some time preparing to get the second node on the side of the Ash Wasteland, the ruins there do not belong to any intelligent race, if you want to obtain it, it is much easier than the remaining nodes located in the territory of the intelligent race, and the garrison here will be handed over to you."

At the same time as the projection of Basaka and the steelmane king who returned to his body, the rest of the surrounding kingdoms that had recently been conquered were also having the same conversation, and these kings who had "volunteered" to join the "Ideal Country" organization were tasked with dealing with the joint investigation team of the intelligent races that were about to arrive in the "Ideal Country" at this moment.

"I will divide the power of the nodes among you equally, and there will be no problem with reasonable calls, they will not have a chance to resist."

Basaka finished his last sentence, and the projection disappeared in front of the kings.

"Understood, I will not allow these enemies to invade our kingdom."

A firm and similar response came from the kings who were tasked with their tasks.

Outside the sphere of influence of the "Ideal Country" formed around the Bloodtooth Empire, a team of mixed many different intelligent races is approaching this side.

"From a purely visual point of view, there hasn't been much change, except for the towers, which are all things that have appeared after the recent anomaly."

A human knight stood on the top of a hill about twenty kilometers away from the sphere of influence of the "Ideal Country" organization with a magic observation eyepiece, looking at the situation of the orc kingdom over there, and after comparing it with the images left by the caravan passing before, the only things that were extra were those towers.

"At present, I can already feel the changes in the surrounding void environment, but the distance is still too far, and I need to get closer to make more detailed observations."

The wizards in the team are releasing their spiritual power at the moment, observing the surrounding environment with their souls, and they can feel that the surrounding void energy is in a state of flow, converging towards the sphere of influence of the "Ideal Country" from all directions, forming a special field within that area.

"It's a bit of a risk to get closer, remember the riots that have occurred in our kingdom, their minds have been distorted by the existence of the uncertain existence."

"Without the psychic protection of a wizard, entering a certain area that may be the base camp of these existences is likely to suffer from psychic attacks and spiritually distorted wisdom

Biological attacks, in addition to the special environment, can they also collect some useful information in this range?"

A female elven knight was quite cautious about approaching the past after observing the situation in the "Ideal Country", she was only sent to join the team after quelling some of the riots in the Elven Realm, and the Elven wizard still remembered the results of the mental tests of the existence of those riots.

"Bethany, it's true that as you said, it would be quite dangerous to move forward, the Void energy that had gathered in the past seemed to have changed the environment over there, the Void and the material world overlapped, this should only appear near the Void Rift, if the other party can take advantage of this special environment, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing for us."

A human wizard confirmed the claims of a female elven knight named Bethany, and shared the additional information gathered at this distance with his companions.

"We should have enough wizards to provide spiritual shelter to the rest of the existence, and our task is to gather more information, which means that if we stop at this distance, what we do will be almost meaningless."

The human knight before expressed his opinion, and the task of their small legion, which is not too large, is to gather enough information as an investigation team to feed back the situation of this mutated orc kingdom to the intelligent races.

And because the first thing to observe the mutation was the Void, there are enough wizards from all races in the team, and it is also possible to provide spiritual protection for all existences.

"I agree with Lorian, move on."

A dwarven mage dressed in mage robes raised his hand in recognition of the human knight named Lorian, Nicholas? Brass Beard, the leader of the dwarven team this time.

"Well, I agree."

Bethany nodded in agreement, and the three leaders of their respective teams agreed, and the team chose to move forward cautiously.

Concealment spells cast by mages shelter the party at all times, making their whereabouts difficult to detect by mere sight or ordinary detection methods, and they move towards their targets at a steady and swift pace.

The power of the "Ideal Country" in the field of vision magnifies as the distance gets closer, more details appear in the eyes of these people, and the wizard can feel more different from the surrounding environment.

"What the hell is this......

This is the same thought in the hearts of the wizards in the team, in their perception, a huge existence gradually appeared, in the area where the "ideal country" is located, and the flow of the surrounding void energy seems to have life, from the original mechanical convergence to the unconscious wriggling of that existence.

"Has the spiritual shelter been touched?"

"No, everything is normal, only the concentration of Void energy around is rising, and then, you should also feel that the integration of the Void and the material world has become more obvious and intimate."

The wizards communicated with each other, confirming from each other that there was no problem with their perceptions, and these unique discoveries were indeed not quite different from what they had experienced in the past.

"Feel free to let us know if you have any questions."

Llorian looked back and reminded the wizards that the key this time was these wizards, who analyzed the environment and recorded information, and the role of knights and mages was actually more inclined to provide shelter for these wizards.

"Understood."

The wizards responded, continuing to observe and analyze the changes around them intently.

But what they don't know is that even though they used a series of spells and sorcery to conceal their whereabouts on the physical level and at the level of ordinary wizards, their actions were quite obvious on the macro level.

In many cases, occlusion can only be applied to beings with a limited range of perception, and for a huge whole that can observe a sufficient range and know what originally existed within the range because of the aggregation of consciousness, the newly entered existence is very conspicuous, even if they try to hide, but the stirring void energy fluctuations cannot be completely hidden.

distance

It was gradually shortened to within ten kilometers, and by this point, the wizards could already feel enough, which also shocked and incredible.

"This, it shouldn't be, such a strong void energy, it is expected to increase if it advances, and this area should have fallen into the void a long time ago."

The wizards stopped at this moment, even if there had been no abnormal changes in the surroundings, and the mental protection set up in advance had not been touched, but the strangeness of the surrounding environment still made them feel uneasy.

The void energy in the environment has completely exceeded the threshold, just like what Wang Yu and Avia once encountered at Stevenson's School of Magic, too high a concentration of void energy appears in the material world, and it will fall into the void with the surrounding things.

However, at this moment, the concentration of void energy in the surrounding environment has reached the level where they almost don't need to gather energy to cast witchcraft, and they still maintain a unique "stability" of the material world, and it is probably beneficial to cast spells faster, but the causes of these anomalies have to be vigilant.

"Stop ......"

The wizards shouted to remind the other beings in the group to stop first, but before the words could be fully delivered, a point of high concentration of void energy appeared in their perception, and something descended on them.

Hearing the voices of the wizards, Lorian and the rest of the knights and mages quickly turned around, and saw those wizards suddenly stop in place with dull expressions, and around them, the void energy gathered rapidly, and in the eyes of the other beings, a huge figure gradually emerged.

"Be careful, prepare for battle!"

The shock flashed in Lori's peace of mind, this huge thing actually had some similarities with the god incarnation he had seen before, but, how could it be, no matter what, fighting was what must be done at this moment, and he immediately let out a loud shout and raised the weapon in his hand.

"In the past two weeks, I have been preparing for the midterm exam, and there are a lot of thieves, and the number of words may be relatively small in one or two days, but I will make up for you then, and then the characters in the book don't often ask "why?" "What's going on?", rest assured, these are by no means meaningless conversations, like many of them before, they will only ask if they "really don't understand"~( ̄▽ ̄~)~"
