However, some still believed that the situation remained grim, and said:

"Lord Viscount! Although it's a joy to fend off the enemy's assault, it doesn't mean we've won!

As long as we haven't found the enemy! They could attack again at any time! A long defense will surely fail, Lord Viscount!"

"You are too worried, my lord! The attacker is a Caster close to a Legend, and the magic they cast is near the Ninth Ring. Casting such magic isn't easy; it usually comes at a price!

It consumes extremely precious Casting Materials! I'm sure the attacker won't be able to cast such magic for many times!

And finding the attacker is simple; as long as we keep increasing our height, we'll certainly find them!"

The Great Mage from the Viscountess's family confidently replied.

"Grand Mage Wayne is right! As long as we hold on a little longer! The attacker will surely collapse without a fight! Losing the ability to cast such magic!

I will definitely make them pay!"

The Viscountess spoke with confidence, regaining some of her spirit.

The next day.

Due to the successful interception of fireballs yesterday, which caused almost no casualties, the streets have regained about forty to fifty percent of their usual bustle.

Many of the townspeople had smiles back on their faces.

According to their estimate, the next attack wouldn't be for several days.

But even if an attack came, they weren't afraid! Because there were several Great Mages and countless soldiers and Professionals to protect them.

Suddenly, a citizen looked up to the sky and saw a bright flame on the distant horizon!

He pointed in the direction of the flame and shouted:

"Look at that firework! It must be the light of the intercepted fireball! I heard a Great Mage is intercepting at twenty thousand meters in the air this time!

By the time those fire rains fall, they're probably extinguished!

Indeed! We are safe! There's no need to fear the attacker at all!"

"Just treat it as enjoying a firework! Watching it every few days isn't bad either!" a citizen said with a knowing smile.

"Exactly! Those who ran away are real fools! These fireworks are expensive! Many people won't see them many times in their life! We're watching them every few days! No matter how you think about it, we're gaining here! Hahaha!"

The townspeople became optimistic at once.

Even the soldiers showed knowing smiles.

A part of them went to the roughly expected landing site of the fire rain, while others relaxed their vigilance, ready to rest a while and let others take over.

Who knows...

Someone else suddenly pointed at the sky with shock and screamed:

"No! Wrong! The attack isn't over! More fireballs are falling!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in that direction.

They saw crimson and bright yellow, small as sesame seeds, balls appearing in the sky six to seven kilometers high, continuously descending.

Beside this small sesame-like ball, there were a dozen... no! Twenty! Still no! Thirty... forty alike fireballs!

"No! No! No!! This can't be real! Why! Why are there so many fireballs this time? This can't be real!"

The citizens' faces turned to shocking despair because of this instant, ever-changing scene!

"It's over! It's over! All over! This is indeed divine punishment!

It's divine punishment! Over forty continuous divine punishments! How can we possibly survive such an attack! We're going to die! They're all going to die!"

More people collapsed on the ground, wailing in despair, some bright yellow liquid constantly flowing from their crotch.

But at this time, no one would notice this point at all!

Everyone who saw the anomaly in the sky wailed in hopelessness, their heart turning to ash!

Even some of the soldiers stared blankly at the sky, like puppets, the mud umbrellas in their hands falling to the ground without them realizing.

They seemed ready to accept death.

Tens of kilometers above the sky, a Caster in a black robe slowly descended with a grim face.

He was exactly Grand Mage Wayne.

Recalling a scene not long ago, his face flushed red.

Initially, when his Magic Power was about to be exhausted, he was preparing to land and rest, to switch shifts, but unexpectedly, a fireball shot toward him.

That was manageable, he casually struck an Ice Spike and detonated the fireball.

Watching the explosion's flash, which was obviously much weaker.

At that moment, he felt a tinge of pride, thinking that the attacker's Casting Materials had indeed run out as he predicted.

Unexpectedly, fireballs came one after another, consecutively nearly a dozen!

Grand Mage Wayne was half-scared to death!

Though these fireballs were not as powerful as yesterday's, their might, according to his calculations, was still at least the Sixth Ring level!

His Magic Power almost depleted; a single hit would not just injure him severely but potentially kill him!

So he could only duck left and dodge right, constantly evading the attacks, watching helplessly as one fireball after another fell...

......

With more than forty fireballs drawing nearer the ground, they illuminated nearly the entire sky.

In the midst of everyone's deep despair,

several figures danced in the sky, with fireballs exploding one after the other.

"Everyone brace yourselves! These spells are far from as mighty as before! As long as we strive to resist, we can definitely hold on!"

A gentle breeze swept through, delivering messages into everyone's ears.

"It's Grand Mage Nan Jia! Everyone trust Grand Mage Nan Jia! We can surely get through this disaster! All soldiers! Casters resist the flames!

All citizens, take cover!"

Hearing this, the citizens were startled and quickly dodged, while soldiers and Casters once again sprang into action.

Magic after magic was cast toward the sky, annihilating some of the fire rain.

The soldiers raised their mud umbrellas, ready to meet the fire rain...

But until the fire rain was only about a hundred meters away did they suddenly realize their efforts seemed in vain!

Because there were simply too many and too scattered!

This time, nearly all of Aire City was covered!

They couldn't possibly protect everything!

One by one, houses caught fire again! Grassland ignited, and citizens fleeing from houses were once again subjected to the searing flames!

Flames raged, and thick smoke rushed straight into the sky! The crowd wailed in despair, cried out to the heavens!

One hellish scene after another presented itself before everyone's eyes, chilling to the core! Making it hard to breathe!

All soldiers, Adventurers, and Temple Priests threw themselves into the effort to save people and extinguish fires.

Once again, they worked busily until evening.

According to statistics, there were about four to five hundred dead and wounded, with losses nearly five thousand Gold Talers...

Batch after batch of the injured gathered, tears streaming down, lamenting their stupidity, envying those who had left earlier.

If I were like them, maybe I wouldn't have suffered such hardships at all.

Why! Why am I so foolish!

Some people got so angry just thinking about this that they vomited blood!

But was the truth as they thought?
