Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

If it weren't for the selfless dedication of the Tianfu Army soldiers, who fought to the death despite being at a significant disadvantage, forming an iron wall with their own flesh and blood to block the demon army from taking a single step out of Liyuan.

In addition, someone risked their life to break the spatial blockade and send out intelligence in time, which finally allowed the forbidden mage to receive the news and come to support them. In the end, the monster army was forced back, and the Abyss was defended, which can be considered a pyrrhic victory.

If there is even the slightest mishap, the monster army will likely break through Li Yuan directly.

Once the Li Yuan is breached, countless demonic beasts will be able to rampage into China without restraint. The entire southeastern coast will instantly become a hellish place, and countless ordinary people will perish in the beast tide, resulting in incalculable losses.

Even though the Abyss was not ultimately breached, the losses in this battle shocked the entire world.

Apart from the soldiers who were on leave, the main force of the Tianfu Army, which had been stationed in Liyuan for a long time, was almost completely wiped out.

Of the 100,000 soldiers, only 18 survived!

One hundred thousand families wore white mourning clothes!

If one-tenth of China's powerful military is lost, the loss of national strength is far more than one-tenth.

In this battle, a forbidden mage from the Chinese side intervened, while several sacred beasts from the magical beast side also participated, bringing the entire Abyss Space to the brink of collapse.

After this battle, the environment of Liyuan was no longer suitable for ordinary soldiers to garrison, and it was necessary to have a forbidden mage stationed there for a long time.

The details of the Battle of Liyuan are top secret. Even with Bai Jingting's authority, he only knows the general outline and cannot know all the details.

Not much information has been leaked, but every single piece of it is shocking.

Lin Qingyu, a renowned genius in China, is actually a puppet whose mind has been invaded by a spiritual beast!

Besides elemental monsters, there are also mental and spatial monsters!

Some extraordinary magical beasts and sacred beasts possess intelligence that rivals that of humans!

The Beast race completely overturned humanity's previous impressions, representing the greatest transformation since the Year One of Magic.

Prior to this, humans believed that although magical beasts possessed various powerful magical abilities, they only had animal instincts and lacked intelligence.

Humanity viewed the appearance of the Abyss as an immense blessing, the seed that would bring about magical civilization.

The attitude towards Warcraft has always been one of wanting to hunt whatever one desires.

Only after this battle did humanity realize that some powerful individuals among the monster race possessed intelligence no less than that of humans.

However, most of the low-level monsters were chaotic and mindless, which is why they failed to develop a prosperous civilization.

However, the intelligent monsters at the top have been lurking in the shadows, gathering intelligence on humanity, learning about human civilization, and plotting a counterattack against humanity.

Such disruptive intelligence, capable of directly influencing humanity's strategic approach towards the Warcraft faction, is of immeasurable value.

However, the cost of acquiring intelligence was equally heavy.

"Should we report this situation?" Bai Yu asked hesitantly, looking at Bai Jingting's unpredictable expression.

"Observe carefully for a period of time. If there is no misjudgment and you are certain that Wang Yi's personality has changed drastically, then write a report and I will submit it personally."

In the end, Bai Jingting made his decision.

Although the previous psychic-type sacred beast should not resort to the same old tricks, since such a plan succeeded entirely because humans were unaware of the methods of psychic-type magical beasts, it was an exploit of an information gap.

Now, although only twelve years have passed, humans have already deliberately hunted down many mental-type magical beasts, and a group of mages who can use mental magic have begun to emerge.

Learn how to deduce mental monsters through mental magic.

Once the mystery is unveiled, any attempt to replicate the Battle of Liyuan will be nothing but wishful thinking.

Moreover, Wang Yi is different from Lin Qingyu. Lin Qingyu joined the army and was stationed in the Demon Abyss, which gave him the opportunity to be invaded by a spiritual beast. He then rose to prominence and became the best in his generation.

Wang Yi's life trajectory is clear from childhood to the present; he has never entered the Demon Abyss and therefore could not have had the opportunity to have his mind invaded.

However, considering the consequences of the Battle of Liyuan, Bai Jingting still felt he dared not gamble.

"But what if we guessed wrong? Wouldn't that be too much of a blow to Wang Yi?" Bai Yu was very conflicted. She hadn't expected that her casual remark would have such a big impact on Wang Yi.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. When it comes to the safety of the country and its people, we can't gamble even if the probability is very low."

If Wang Yi doesn't have any problems, at most he'll just receive some extra attention and be subject to some scrutiny.

Moreover, if he wants to be subject to scrutiny, it will only happen after he has sufficient strength, has reached a certain level, and has attained a certain position.

If he spends his entire life staying in Lanling City, living as an ordinary mage, then his life trajectory will not be affected in any way.

Bai Jingting didn't care about this, after all, the national conditions of China were fundamentally different from those of those foreigners.

Since the Battle of Liyuan, America has been alarmed and immediately established a special operations bureau, launching a secret investigation and quietly arresting many people whose personalities had changed.

We'd rather arrest the wrong person than let one go; we don't care about wrongful convictions or miscarriages of justice.

You say you're not? What a joke! What puppet would admit it on its own? Who knows if you're just a fishnet wiping its own ass, keeping a backup plan?

Arrest them all!

It made those foreigners extremely nervous and paranoid.

In China, as long as Wang Yi isn't as dazzling as Lin Qingyu was in the past, even with this report, it won't arouse any suspicion.

What kind of power can an ordinary mage possess? What kind of destruction can they cause?

Do you really think there's no one like me in China?

Even a transcendent mage like Lin Qingyu, taken individually, is just an ordinary transcendent.

Let alone an extraordinary puppet, even if the true form of that spiritual holy beast were to personally come to China, it would be nothing more than a dish.

The forbidden magicians of China will not allow it to roam freely in the mortal world.

If Lin Qingyu hadn't been the commander of the First Division of the Tianfu Army, and even had a very high chance of taking over the entire Tianfu Army in the future, there would have been no opportunity to execute the plan, to coordinate from within and without, and to lead the main force of the Tianfu Army into the ambush prepared in advance by the monster race.

The person in charge of the Battle of Liyuan was not a genius mage, but a high-ranking military officer.

This is precisely why the current system for reviewing promotions in the military is several times more stringent.

Hearing Bai Jingting's explanation, Bai Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of the anxiety that had just arisen, and said that there was no need to pay attention for a while, and she could write the report now.

After all, with Wang Yi's talent, if not outstanding, it was at least exceptionally outstanding.
