章節 117: Going for War (Part 2)

For hundreds of years, the Qin Empire had not had an emperor who would personally lead troops into battle, and the imperial code had been covered in dust. But today, the code had been uncovered once more, and some traditions had also been dug out along with it. One example was tonight’s banquet inside the palace for various officials.

How many nobles were there in the imperial capital? No one knew, but Saleen and the other mages would not be participating in the banquet. All of them would stay in their rooms and practice.

Saleen asked Sika to come over to his room and stay with him and Nailisi, so that they could observe how he controlled the witcher spider.

First, Saleen cast twenty-four water shields and arranged them in front of the witcher spider in the shape of a distorted snake. Then, the witcher spider jumped before lunging at the water shields. A phantom image flashed from the front legs of the spider and silently tore down the water shields.
