Huh? There's a magic school here.

Orcish Imperial Capital, Temple Backyard

Standing before the priest were nearly a hundred members of the Wind Group, led by the squad leader, Fox Charm.

The priest nodded in satisfaction, then addressed everyone.

"Children, the Empire is facing a crisis. I regret to send you on the most dangerous mission, but for the future of the Empire, I must make a choice. So I can only send my most elite troops. I'm giving you a choice. If anyone wants to back out, it's not too late. But once the mission is assigned, there is no turning back!"

The priest spoke earnestly, but none of the nearly one hundred members of the Wind Group made a move. It was the squad leader, Fox Charm, who stepped forward to speak on behalf of everyone.

"For the glory of the empire, the Dark Blade Wind Group has no choice but to do our duty! But please take care of our families if we are to sacrifice ourselves!"

After Fox Fairy finished speaking, everyone in the Wind Group knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.

“Very good. Listen carefully to the next task. You probably already know that the spatial gate, which opens every five hundred years, is about to open. Recently, the Empire discovered that someone from the other side seems to have crossed the spatial gate and entered our world. In order to ensure that we orcs can win this time when the spatial gate opens, we need someone to go and scout the enemy!”

Seeing that his subordinates were listening attentively to his words, the priest continued.

“You are my most outstanding subordinates, so this mission is for your Wind Group to cross the spatial gate and collect all useful information from the other side’s world. I will send ten clergymen to join you in ten small teams to infiltrate through different spatial gates. I hope to see all of you return alive and report back to me on the results of this operation.”

"I assure you here that those who complete the mission alive will be promoted one rank and all your requests will be fulfilled by the Empire. Those who die will be promoted three ranks and the Empire will also fulfill your requests!"

All the members of the Wind Team present shouted at the same time.

"For the glory of the empire, I am willing to die for it!"

"Go, and may God bless you!"

After speaking, the priest left the room. Just as the priest left, a group of ten clergymen entered. The twelfth squad of the Wind Group behind Fox Fairy also dispersed to other squads to make up the ten squads. Then, these clergymen led each squad outside the room, began chanting spells, and then disappeared into the temple with the Wind Group members.

The fox spirit led the first squad and a clergyman outside the room. The clergyman chanted a spell and then, as if caught in a tornado, became rootless and adrift. After a moment of disorientation, they realized they were standing on soft sand. Looking up, they found themselves in a desert.

At this moment, the clergyman in front smiled and spoke to the vixen.

"Welcome to the desert lands, Captain Fox! I am Gregory, the white-robed priest! I look forward to your guidance during the missions to come!"

"The Empire has really gone all out for this mission, even opening the defensive array of the capital!"

"Yes, there's nothing we can do about it. To spread the risk, the ten teams have different destinations, and unfortunately, we've been assigned here. If Captain Fox is ready, I'll break open the spatial gate!"

After speaking, Gregory took out an inconspicuous stone from his pocket. This stone was the Boundary-Breaking Stone, specifically used to break through magical protective barriers. However, this kind of stone was quite rare, and there weren't many of them on the continent of Karen.

As Gregory poured magic into the Boundary-Breaking Stone, it began to emit a white light and cause spatial tremors. Then, a ball of white light appeared in front of the first squad, gradually growing larger until it became a huge blue portal.

Seeing that the portal had opened, two people wielding staffs stepped out from the first squad. They began casting spells on everyone, including the white-robed priest Gregory; one cast an invisibility spell, and the other a magical shield.

After the spell was completed, everyone stepped into the spatial gate without hesitation.

Blue Star

Just as the orcs began their operation, ten spatial rifts suddenly appeared on Blue Star. Nine of these rifts were already under the surveillance of the Human Alliance, with only one being newly discovered.

Because it is currently daytime in the eastern hemisphere of Earth, the sudden appearance of the blue light spatial rift was very conspicuous and quickly attracted the attention of the monitoring personnel.

The members of the Wind Group's fifth squad were stunned after crossing the spatial portal, for the scene before them was completely different from what they had imagined. They found themselves amidst towering buildings, seemingly constructed using earth magic. Moreover, some of these buildings were entirely covered in crystal! Just how wealthy must this nation be to be so extravagant as to build houses with crystal?

The first reaction of everyone in Group 5 was that they were rich. As long as the Orc Empire conquered the world, they would all be able to amass unimaginable wealth.

While the members of the fifth group were in a daze, Liu Changzhi and Tang Zhihong were staring at the monitor screen in front of them at the command center in Zhenhe City. They hadn't expected that node number three would be suddenly activated, which was illogical, so they reported to their superiors while discussing policies.

"Hey Lao Tang, what's going on with this spatial rift? How did it suddenly open by itself?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either!"

"Do you think this is a natural phenomenon, or did the other side send people to investigate as well?"

"It's hard to say, I've never encountered this situation before."

"What do we do now? The monitors don't show anything, but there are some things that science can't explain after you wizards show up! I think we need to be on guard!"

"What's Commander Liu's opinion?"

"Someone! Send a few drones to spray some paint over a three-kilometer radius around the spatial rift!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Hongzhi thought to himself, "Wow, you big-eyed Liu Changzhi have such a wicked trick up your sleeve." And surprisingly, this trick actually works quite well against invisibility spells. Although invisibility is possible in the magical world, it only makes you imperceptible to others.

But in reality, you are right there. As long as something or someone touches you, you will still feel that there is an obstacle in the invisible place, you just can't see it yourself.

Liu Changzhi's ability to instantly detect anything unseen within a certain range that gets covered in paint shows that even Muggles aren't entirely without defenses against wizards.

Soon, Liu Changzhi and Tang Zhihong were pleasantly surprised to find that there were clearly unseen objects moving about 500 meters away from the spatial rift.

The fifth squad of the Wind Group was caught in the attack because they were too shocked by what they were seeing and failed to evacuate in time.

Upon seeing ten unidentified objects covered in paint moving rapidly, the monitoring room immediately sounded the alarm. Alarms blared throughout the entire monitoring base, and all soldiers and wizards quickly assembled.
