"...Ended? It's over?"
Andrew couldn't help but be stunned, "The Double Flames Battle has ended just like that?"
In these days, he had thought more than once about what kind of reply he would receive from the Warm Fire Commerce Association.
He never imagined that the news sent back would be like this!
Thinking back to his second day in the Flame Realm, he encountered Barbara being chased by Humboldt.
At that time, he had no idea that this was actually the start of a war.
Similarly, now he didn't expect at all: hearing news about the Double Flames Battle again, it was already over!
For a moment, in the midst of his surprise, Andrew felt somewhat confused and dazed.
But as a Magic Lord, his magic power was stable, and under the protection of the "Water Spirit Technique," his mindset was as steady as an old dog.
Andrew quickly adjusted his fluctuating emotions: "Well, anyway... it's good that it's over!"
War, no matter in which world, is always the root of disaster.
It's naturally a good thing that the Double Flames Battle has ended just like that!
But... how did it end so quickly? Andrew was still a bit puzzled.
"Yes, it's good that it's over." Barbara also sighed and shook her head, "I had already imagined the worst-case scenario before, but after receiving the communication from my family... after reconnecting with them, I realized—
This Double Flames Battle was fought so brutally! Our Warm Fire Commerce Association was pushed to what extent."
Those who haven't experienced war can never understand how cruel war truly is.
The Double Flames Battle erupted suddenly and ended suddenly. It lasted less than two months in total.
At this moment, thinking about the battle information she just received, Barbara's emotions were still unsettled.
Before the war, the Warm Fire Commerce Association was regarded as a powerful force capable of competing with the Magic Guild.
When the war suddenly broke out, although the Southern Retreat Land declared neutrality,
the Northern Royal Court was secretly more inclined towards the Warm Fire Commerce Association.
After all, the second young miss of the Commerce Association is currently the Queen of the Court.
With years of accumulation by the Warm Fire Commerce Association, combined with secret assistance from the Royal Court, their strength on paper should not be inferior to that of the Magic Guild.
However, in reality, the Warm Fire Commerce Association's side was retreating continuously!
In this world, the Warm Fire Commerce Association and the Magic Guild control the eastern and western sides respectively.
The Warm Fire Commerce Association is in the east.
The Magic Guild is in the west.
Between the east and west, there is almost a straight dividing line running north to south. The Northern Royal Court, the Central Inner Sea Desert, and the Southern Retreat Land are all above this dividing line.
During the Double Flames Battle, almost the entire dividing line was ignited by the flames of war.
In comparison, the battles in the Wildfire Territory deep in the Inner Sea Desert, whether it's Rose leading the Desolate Beast group to attack Wildfire Territory or Humboldt's hunt for Barbara, cannot compare at all to the brutality of the real frontline battlefield! Completely incomparable!
It's no exaggeration to say that the Warm Fire Commerce Association's side was really about to collapse.
Until—
Andrew and Barbara made a video of the scene where Rose drove the Desolate Beast group to attack Wildfire Territory, resulting in all the Desolate Beasts transforming into Flame Warriors, and sent it through the line of the Living People Cemetery to the Warm Fire Commerce Association President, who is also Barbara's father, on the frontline.
After that, once the Warm Fire Commerce Association confirmed the authenticity of the video, they publicly announced the explosive news that "Desolate Beasts are Flame Warriors."
On the Double Flames Battle battlefield, it was like a super bomb with no actual destructive power but tremendous impact had been dropped!!
"This is... fake, right?"
"Impossible that it's true!"
"Hey, give us an explanation!"
"Those ugly things in the Inner Sea Desert, are really... what we became!!!??"
The group of Flame Warriors, who took on almost all the dirty and exhausting tasks for the Magic Guild's Earth Fire Mages during the war, instantly went berserk on the spot.
In this world, there's no such thing as a completely sealed wall.
What Andrew didn't know was: within the Flame Warrior group, and the Magic Guild, there were always rumors about the "connection between Desolate Beasts and Flame Warriors."
Now with video evidence, it instantly ignited the flame in the Flame Warriors' hearts!
Countless extremely angry Flame Warriors turned back to question their Earth Fire Mage partners if this was true.
Questioning the Magic Guild, whom they had been loyal to for generations, is this actually true?!
It must be said, the Flame Warriors were indeed very loyal.
Most of them chose to question rather than resort to violence immediately.
But this was already enough for the Warm Fire Commerce Association, which was already gasping for breath.
Prepared in advance before releasing the news, the Warm Fire Commerce Association seized the opportunity while their enemies were confused, concentrated their forces, and launched a counterattack on the most critical point along the dividing line!
Within just a week, they not only recaptured all previously occupied territories.
They also went on the offensive, capturing the super fortress that had always been under the Magic Guild's control—Dragon's Nest!
It is said that on that day, the upper echelons of the Magic Guild were enraged.
The entire Scholar's Fortress (the main base of the Magic Guild) could hear the furious roars of the Earth Fire Scholars in charge of the Guild.
"—After we took the 'Dragon's Nest,' the attitude of the Magic Guild changed instantly."
At this point, Barbara looked at Andrew and slowly said, "They tried several times to retake that super fortress, but all failed.
After that, they sent envoys to actively seek peace, requesting both sides to cease hostilities and enter a negotiation phase."
Saying this, Barbara looked earnestly into Andrew's eyes, "Really, thank you, Andrew! The quick end to the Double Flames Battle, it's really thanks to you!"
The end of the massive Double Flames Battle was thanks to a young Tier Three Mage.
Saying this, even Barbara found it somewhat unbelievable.
But it was the truth.
Andrew's video played a crucial role.
Originally, Andrew only thought that no matter what, he couldn't let Humboldt and Rose capture Barbara, at least not affect the frontline negatively.
On this basis, he hoped to counterattack Rose and contribute as much as he could to the frontline battle situation.
Andrew even deliberately left his name out of the message sent to the Warm Fire Commerce Association.
Andrew only wanted to convey the two pieces of information, "Rose's mission failed," and "Desolate Beasts are Flame Warriors."
As for his existence, he actually wanted to keep it as low-key as possible.
With such a low profile, the final effect and influence achieved were far beyond Andrew's and even Barbara's expectations!
"I see..."
Andrew listened carefully to Barbara's brief account of the war process and slowly said, "So, it's only a temporary ceasefire?"
