A dozen or so high-level Wizards who had come to assist Xilian City were nearby. They were all drawn to the situation, but not one of them stepped forward.

One side had a Level 16 high-level Wizard, while the other had an Level 18 high-level Wizard and four Level 17 high-level Wizards. With such a disparity in strength, no one would stand up for Abel.

Now, because of the Holy Knights' invasion, Xilian City's Defense Array had yet to recover, giving High-level Wizard Godwin the perfect opportunity to exploit the situation.

Not long after High-level Wizard Godwin teleported away from Xilian City, he received news that it had been attacked. He did not immediately go to Xilian City to provide aid. Instead, he first sent a Wizard to observe the situation there.

After learning that Abel had participated in the battle against the Holy Knights and brought out his greatest trump card—a huge steel monster—and that the steel monster had also been badly injured, he further learned that Xilian City's Defense Array would need more time to repair. He then led the rest of his subordinates back to Xilian City.

"Wizard Godwin, I'm puzzled. Why was it that just after you left Xilian City, the Evil Knight came to Xilian City through the Teleportation Gate? The two events were less than a minute apart.

Although Johnson's condition was rather miserable, it had not affected his strength
