Huh? There's a magic school here.

Most people only knew that the Dragon Kingdom had once again defeated the orcs in war; as for the number of casualties, they merely gasped in astonishment upon seeing the figures and that was it. Of course, the news media wouldn't miss this spectacle, as it was undoubtedly an eye-catching event.

The entire planet Earth was captivated by the war at the outposts on the continent of Karen and the Hogwarts acceptance letter event, with many television stations even starting to repeatedly broadcast footage they had obtained. However, many in the West were more interested in the gossip surrounding Hogwarts and what new and exciting things had come up in Diagon Alley.

In reality, aside from intelligence agencies and high-ranking leaders of various countries, ordinary people in this world don't really care about the lives of people in other countries. Some might even mock them. Therefore, the fact that China suffered such huge losses in this war is of little concern to anyone except the Chinese themselves.

After watching the battle video of the Dragon Kingdom, the president of the Great Cold Kingdom and the Japanese soldiers of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom felt extremely fortunate. If it weren't for this orc invasion, those terrifying weapons in the video might have landed on their heads. If they themselves had been subjected to such a frenzied, all-encompassing bombardment by the Dragon Kingdom, they would have been utterly devastated. They didn't have a territory as large as the Karen Continent to maneuver around.

The camels wearing scarves drooled as they watched the weapons in the video, and they all picked up the phones next to them to call the Chinese ambassador to their country.

"Hello, is this Ambassador XXXX? As friends, we'd like to purchase the weapons shown in the video. I, Sha, have plenty of money; name your price. If I even flinch, I'm no hero!"

The Chinese ambassador who answered the phone immediately beamed with joy. His sales target had been achieved! He could happily count his money again!

The Pentagon in the United States was brightly lit, with staff constantly moving between different departments. Even as a staff member opened a door, faint sounds could be heard coming from inside.

"Their artillery fires at a rate far exceeding our previous estimates, which is very disadvantageous for us."

"No, no, no! John! Their drone specifications are definitely different from what the intelligence agency provided us."

"See those missiles? I need their specific parameters, and you only have one day! If you can't provide me with a satisfactory answer after one day, you can have a new job!"

"Gentlemen, gentlemen! The Great Chieftain has asked us to provide a feasible plan to defend against an attack of the same magnitude as that suffered by the Dragon Kingdom. He wants to know what price we would have to pay to achieve the same level of defense against the enemy as the Dragon Kingdom has!"

"Understood. We will work around the clock to develop this plan, but we hope the department can guarantee the supply of coffee!"

After speaking, the man who seemed to be a minor leader shrugged and looked at the person giving the order. The middle-aged white man who gave the order looked at him and then shouted.

"Doss! Give them the best coffee, drink it until they throw up!"

"Thank you, boss!"

"We will work hard!"

Cheers echoed continuously from inside the room.

In a lavish conference room within the Hexagon, the US's golden-haired leader listened to the Secretary of Defense speak. It was an impromptu ministerial meeting, filled with the nation's top officials. To put it bluntly, if a missile were to land here, the entire US would be in chaos tomorrow.

"How is our base on the Karen Continent doing?"

"Chief, the base is still under construction. We've completed fifty percent of it, and everything is going smoothly so far."

"It's only 50% complete after all this time? That's too slow! Look at the Chinese! Their construction speed is more than ten times faster than ours! I hope our people can speed things up!"

"That's possible, but Your Excellency, it might require even more money! I must remind you that our fiscal spending this year has already far exceeded the budget! It will be very difficult for us to persuade the Federal Reserve to increase the budget for the Outpost program! I have a copy of this year's fiscal budget here for you all to take a look!"

After finishing his speech, the finance minister distributed the documents in his hand to everyone present. These people didn't have time to read these long and tedious reports; they all just glanced at them and then turned to the last page.

"God, you're kidding me, Belson!"

"I wish this were a joke, but unfortunately you have to accept reality, Lieutenant General Kruse."

“Belsen, I know the financial pressure is immense! But we must ensure the safety of our troops on the Karen continent! Without sufficient funding, I fear our plans will be difficult to realize!”

When it comes to securing military funding, the Minister of Defense will always stand with the military. If he remains silent on this issue, he will find it difficult to gain the military's support in the future. This meeting once again ended in a bitter argument between the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Defense, but those present were already used to it.

Meanwhile, Andres, far away on the continent of Karen, encountered a slightly troublesome matter. This matter was both troublesome and simple; the main issue was how to handle it well.

During this war, a Ravenclaw graduate couple, Gary Hodgson and Jenna Garcia, were on a mission in the same squad. During the war, Gary Hodgson was killed by an enemy spell that struck him in the head while protecting his wife.

After the war, Jenna stayed indoors, grieving over her husband's body. Perhaps Jenna's grief unsettled Gary, or perhaps Gary's love for his wife had become an obsession. When Jenna emerged from her room after a day in the dark, Gary's ghost followed her. Jenna and Gary's ghost soon found their principal, Andres.

"So Jenna, you came to me hoping I could persuade Gary to go back to Heaven instead of staying on Earth?"

"Yes, Principal Andres! But Gary is too stubborn!"

“No, Jenna! I can’t leave you here to suffer alone. I want to be by your side.”

"But what if I die too? Then you'll be all alone in the world."

Just when Jenna and Gary were unable to convince each other, Andres, who was standing to the side, persuaded them to stop.

"It's a pity that from the moment Jenner appeared in Gary's life, it was already destined that he would stay on earth forever."

Upon hearing Andres's definitive statement, Jenna covered her face in anguish.

No! It's all my fault!

"Jenna, this has nothing to do with you, it was all my own choice! At least we still have a lot of time to spend together, don't we?"

Gary wanted to hug his wife and comfort her, but his hands were destined to pass only through her body.
