Encirclement and Counterattack

After the second uprising in the Back Mountain Forbidden Area ended.

Wilmot, Conan, and the others who had escaped alive immediately faced a new problem.

Their once foolproof method had become useless!

"Guild Master, we don't know what method those traitors used to stop us from severing their connections. We can't reclaim their power!"

"Guild Master, your mana web authority is the highest. Please deal with those
