They were both Legend Wizards, why would she be afraid of her?
Madeline also heard of Marvin’s Legend friends crazily retaliating against the Twin Snakes Cult.
This caused her to stay a bit vigilant.
Even though Marvin died, he still had many friends. She couldn’t be too fierce when taking White River Valley back.
Thus she used her relationship with the Alliance to make them issue Marvin’s death certificate ahead of time, leaving White River Valley without an Overlord.
The South Wizard Alliance stipulated that the official heir had to be at least 13 years old to inherit the land.
When Jean, Marvin’s father, died, Marvin was already 13 years old. Thus, it was logical for him to inherit White River Valley’s Overlord position.
But Wayne was only 9 years old. He would only be a future heir.
Besides Wayne, there wasn’t anyone qualified to inherit White River Valley’s Overlord position.
At that time, Madeline worked hard and found a convoluted old rule.
When an Overlord of a neighboring territory was unable to formally inherit his territory, a high level noble was entitled to annex the territory, supervising it on his behalf.
In other words, she could make Wayne her vassal.
As a result, White River Valley and River Shore City would become one and the same.
There were no issues with the Alliance’s laws. Those Legends also had nothing to say.
Marvin died after all. They weren’t overly emotional and wouldn’t help him take care of White River Valley.
In Madeline’s eyes, only Hathaway of the Three Ring Towers might interfere.
But as long as she dealt with that matter perfectly, and did everything out in the open, even Hathaway would have nothing to say!
This was Madeline’s plan.
…
But what made Madeline angry and annoyed was White River Valley’s attitude.
Unyielding and cold.
Whether it was Wayne or those ordinary inhabitants, even though these guys were restless, no one admitted that Lord Marvin died. They were convinced “Magical Marvin” would create another miracle. What’s more, they didn’t want to be annexed by River Shore City.
And Daniela’s appearance was something Madeline hadn’t expected.
This young lady was the princess of the Lavis Dukedom in the North. Even if she was alone right now, who knew when Knights of the North would come to protect this land? Moreover, there were those Wizards of the White Tower, who were existence that were a match for the South Wizard Alliance.
She had to solve this matter fast.
All this was what she had in mind.
Thus, she wouldn’t kill Daniela, but she also wouldn’t be lenient. She had to make her powerless as quickly as possible.
As far as Legend Wizards were concerned, this wasn’t very difficult.
After all, Daniela might be strong, but she was only a 4th rank powerhouse with her Ice Angel Shape.
4th rank and 5th rank, mortal and Legend. There was an insurmountable gap!
Daniela’s ice spells didn’t harm Madeline too much because she had a specialty that gave her high elemental resistance!
And Madeline’s Demon bloodline gave her all kinds of spells that could let her easily subdue Daniela!
That flaming whip in her hand kept cracking against Daniela, and each time it hit her, it would consume some of the Ice Angel’s power.
Soon, the Ice Angel’s body became riddled with scars.
She even scraped a part of her face.
Daniela ground her teeth with an unyielding attitude. She was a stubborn person and she would always do what she wanted to do.
She liked this White River Valley, and she had promised Wayne. She wouldn’t retreat!
These were her principles.
A frightening ice aura suddenly rose up from her body.
Madeline was startled.
“What are you trying to do?!” She flickered and kept her distance from Daniela.
“Hahaha… Madeline.” Daniela slightly tilted her head, blood trickling down from her neck, but she didn’t feel it. “You getting White River Valley is simply a dream.”
“I would rather destroy it than to let you obtain it!”
Madeline frowned.
Daniela’s spell really gathered a large amount of power, truly enough to destroy White River Valley in an instant!
This warm valley would turn into a cold and barren wasteland.
This was an all or nothing strategy!
Daniela coldly watched Madeline.
This was her final trump card.
She bet that Madeline wouldn’t dare to make another move.
Because she wouldn’t gain anything.
But she couldn’t have expected that Madeline would suddenly sneer, “All or nothing?”
“Have you even asked their opinion?”
‘They?’
Daniela froze.
She noticed a group of people coming from the main road.
Escorted by the Dark Knights were the Sean the old Blacksmith, Anna, Wayne, Andre and the other guards, Necromancer Fidel, and even that nameless Alchemist!
They stood together in front of the army of River Shore City, standing behind Daniela.
“We naturally agree.”
Wayne coldly looked at Madeline with clenched fists. “I already evacuated White River Valley’s inhabitants.”
“If you think of using military power to seize our land, we won’t yield.”
Madeline’s face ashened.
She hadn’t thought that this group would be so troublesome!
She obviously came to “protect” this territory, and her actions could be considered relatively gentle, but they actually didn’t know what was good for them!
White River Valley had lost Marvin; even if she didn’t take over, wouldn’t they be annexed by other Overlords sooner or later?!
Gloominess flashed through Madeline’s eyes.
Suddenly, everyone was a bit shocked to see a rune appearing in her eyes.
“Sure enough… Was I too gentle?”
“What made you think that a Legend Wizard was so easy to send away?”
“I originally wanted to treat you well on account of my friendship with Lord Marvin, and take care of White River Valley’s inhabitants.”
“But you have managed to make me angry!”
A huge amount of shadows gathered behind her back. It was a frightening power!
Wayne clenched his teeth. He held Anna’s hand tightly.
Daniela took a deep breath, the spell in her hand about to explode at any time!
At that moment, the old blacksmith took a step forward and loudly said, “Lady Madeline! Are you fearless enough to follow in the Twin Snakes Cult’s footsteps?”
Madeline’s hair was suddenly blown away by wind. She seemed deranged as she faced the sky while madly laughing. “Silly blacksmith. You actually dare to compare me with the Twin Snakes Cult?”
“Who would fight against a Legend Wizard for the sake of a dead man?”
“I didn’t kill Marvin. Everything I did was according with the Alliance’s rules!”
“You really don’t know what’s good for you. Since you are determined to go against me, I’ll let you experience the fury of a Legend Wizard!”
…
‘Insane.’
When that strange rune appeared in Madeline’s eyes, Marvin, who was disguised as one of the guards, clearly understood what had happened.
Madeline was only trying to find an excuse.
Even if he appeared, she wouldn’t give up. She might kill him and everyone!
Because she was already insane!
The Book of Nalu.
It was an artifact that could drive people insane. Madeline didn’t advance to Legend in the past because she didn’t have the aptitude!
This time, Hathaway kindly gave her the 6th page of the Book of Nalu and not the 3rd page
.
This let her successfully advance to Legend. But the Book of Nalu still managed to cast a shadow in her heart.
She had already lost her sanity.
That rune was clear proof.
The power of the Book of Nalu was constantly corroding her reason.
‘This woman was full of ambitions and desires, but her willpower wasn’t strong enough.’
‘Even if she advanced to Legend, the signs of the Book of Nalu’s control are fairly obvious.’
‘Since that’s the case, there is no need for leniency.’
After thinking of this, killing intent flashed through Marvin’s eyes.
Legend Wizard?
It wasn’t as if he had never killed one!
Most 4th ranks and Legends had Fatal Injuries Immunity.
But the Wizard class didn’t!
Marvin had once successfully assassinated a Legend Wizard when he was still at the 4th rank in the game.
In this world, Marvin couldn’t afford to mess up.

A frightening cloud was gathering.
Marvin solemnly looked at the sky.
‘Damn, another Burning Firerain… Why do these Legend Wizards lack creativity?’
‘Why do they all have to choose Burning Firerain from among all those large-scale Legend spells?’
Apart from Hathaway’s Ashes Storm, all the Legend Wizards Marvin had met so far simply used Burning Firerain!
Daniela raised her hands, and a dense icy mist burst out of her body.
This was the power of the Ice Angel.
The berserk icy mist rushed up to scatter the black cloud.
But this time, Madeline seemed determined to fight it out against Daniela.
When Daniela countered that Legend Ogre Mage’s Burning Firerain, she succeeded because the other side had cast it quickly, controlled it from a long distance, and spent a lot effort to maintain the spell.
This let her gain the advantage.
But it wasn’t the same for Madeline.
Her magic power fiercely surged out as the black cloud mixed with flames and cut into the icy mist as if it it were insignificant.
Soon, the ice began to melt and turn into a warm drizzle, slowly falling on everyone’s face.
But no one withdrew.
Daniela’s face was pale as she mustered her strength!
But it had very little effect. The black cloud was still slowly gathering.
Madeline’s face grew even more sinister. “Want to fight with a Legend Wizard? Wait till your bloodline has thoroughly awakened!”
“The current you is no different from an ant in my eyes!”
Still hidden in the crowd, Marvin drew a deep breath and was about to act…
When suddenly, he noticed footsteps gradually approaching from behind them.
It was a group of people moving quietly.
Wayne’s group all turned around in shock, only to see familiar silhouettes appearing one after the other on the main road.
These were White River Valley’s inhabitants.
They should have already evacuated at Wayne’s command! Just like when White River Valley was in danger before, they should have gone to Green Village or other places to temporarily take refuge.
But this time, they didn’t leave.
They came over.
“Aunt Shili… You…”
“Little Rota…”
“Run away!” Anna’s expression suddenly turned to worry as she loudly yelled.
The usually well-behaved inhabitants didn’t listen to Anna’s command.
They silently stood behind Wayne and the others.
There were approximately seven to eight hundred of them.
“We already sent the young and the elderly to Green Village.”
A very plain looking middle-aged man said, “Every time White River Valley met with trouble, we hid and let Lord Marvin and Miss Anna protect us. Countless times, we said nothing and just went.”
“After hearing that this time, River Shore City wants to forcefully annex White River Valley, we came to take a look.”
“We also don’t know what to do, but we believe that Lord Marvin didn’t die. He will return.”
They all nodded.
These were White River Valley’s ordinary inhabitants. They silently farmed and carried out Marvin’s commands.
They believed that Lord Marvin would lead them to a peaceful future.
They also loved White River Valley.
This was their hometown.
…
More and more people kept appearing from the main road.
They calmly looked at Madeline, and calmly looked at River Shore City’s army. They all consciously stayed silent.
But every person that appeared would increase Madeline’s fury!
These mere ants actually dared to join forces and go against her!
She was a Legend Wizard!
These insignificant humans were actually unwilling to accept her protection and actually believed in that Marvin who was already dead!
Why!?
“No one can stop me from getting what I want.”
“Since you have so much faith in Marvin, so much faith in a dead person, then you can go keep him company!”
“Die!”
Madeline violently roared, “Knights! Listen to my command!”
“Kill them all!”
She pointed at those unarmed and defenseless civilians.
Those strange runes in her eyes were becoming brighter.
The Book of Nalu already completely deceived her mind!
She had already lost control.
But what happened next enraged her even further…
River Shore City’s army didn’t move!
All the Knights were silent.
Some of the guards had fought alongside White River Valley about half a month ago.
They just looked at those civilians, and no one urged their horse forward.
“What are you doing!?” Madeline’s hair crazily danced about as she bellowed.
The Head Knight bowed with a heavy face. “Madam City Lord, they are defenseless civilians.”
“I don’t care.” Madeline coldly watched him. “I told you to kill them!”
“Swish!”
The Head Knight let go of his sword and bowed. “Forgive me for being unable to comply.”
The spirit of a Knight made him unable to make a move on defenseless civilians!
Even if he once swore an oath of eternal loyalty to Madeline, the Head Knight couldn’t do something that completely went against his principles.
“Swish! Swish! Clang!”
All the Knights silently let go of their swords.
They said in low voices, “Forgive me for being unable to comply.”
On the Silver Church’s side, Collins frowned. “There is something wrong with the City Lord… Issuing such a foolish command is a bit weird.”
The actions of River Shore City’s Knights completely sent Madeline into an abyss of madness!
“You dare betray me!”
“Good! If you don’t make a move, I’ll clear out all this trash myself!”
Madeline’s body soared and in an instant, that black cloud expanded over everyone!
Including River Shore City and White River Valley’s armies!
Their expressions changed. Even Collins was startled and hurriedly had the Silver Church’s forces retreat!
The previous agreement with Madeline wasn’t like this. Everything should have been handled according to the Alliance’s rules without harming the population.
Who could have thought that the current Madeline seemed to have completely changed?
Where did that shrewd City Lord go?
Collins instinctively felt something fishy!
…
The
black cloud on the sky had condensed.
Daniela’s icy mist was soon completely eradicated by the black cloud!
She let out a groan and then spat out blood, before falling limp on the ground!
The Ice Angel Shape began to gradually return to her original human shape.
This meant that she already used up all her strength and received a very serious injury!
Anna and Wayne promptly went to her side and supported her up.
But a hint of sorrow flashed through everyone’s eyes.
Now, no one could block Madeline.
All of Marvin’s Legend friends were in the North and fighting the Twin Snakes Cult. It was rumored that they were even preparing to challenge that Azure Matriarch sealed in ice!
Wayne bit his lips and muttered in a low voice, “I contacted Hathaway before this happened. But she has yet to answer.”
Anna forced a smile and shook her head, and looking at the gradually condensing firerain in the sky, she urged everyone to run!
But no one moved.
They silently stood there, using their own lives to convey their complaint to Madeline.
They were insignificant mortals, greedy for life and afraid of death, mere bystanders on the grand scheme of things.
But some things would give people the courage to disregard their own lives.
Some beliefs were worth using their own lives to defend.
White River Valley wouldn’t become part of River Shore City. This was their home, and was Lord Marvin’s territory, not Madeline’s.
This was their belief.
…
Flames were already burning in the black cloud, and in at most ten seconds, the frightening Burning Firerain would begin to fall down.
In fact, if not for Daniela’s efforts, it already would have happened.
Daniela bitterly smiled, “I didn’t think I would die at this insane woman’s hands.”
“No, You won’t.” A heavy voice could be heard at her side.
Daniela looked at that Dark Knight with shock. She faintly remembered that his name was Zero.
“Yes, we won’t.” Another Dark Knight lifted his head.
The Dark Knights couldn’t help but inexorably mumble:
“He is back.”
“The Monarch has returned.”
They all looked at those Dark Knights with shock!
They had never said a word since Marvin’s death, but they still carried out the orders given by Marvin before then.
