“Don’t worry, the Aorus Sacred Institute has already repaired the mounds. Even if the Andes Mountains are only a hundred-some kilometers away, they are keeping a close eye on the movements of the demon creatures!” Zhu Meng patted Mo Fan on the shoulder.
They were not unprepared like last time.
The Black Vatican seemed to be targeting Banlo City, the city that would soon be the Andes Federation’s capital and economy hub.
The open tournament was being jointly held by Banlo City’s government and the Aorus Sacred Institute. It not only had teams from the Aorus Sacred Institute, but teams from other schools in the Americas, too!
The nine teams from the Aorus Sacred Institute were only the warm-up matches for the true tournament.
The tournament’s scale was second only to the World College Tournament. It was the most important tournament in the Americas, and the first round was taking place in Banlo City!

“Yeah, Half-Ridge Mountain City is the closest to the Andes Mountains. Even if there’s an invasion, Half-Ridge Mountain City will serve as the first line of defense. Banlo City might have a high population, but there’s plenty of time to evacuate the city before the first line of defense falls,” Mu Bai agreed.

Banlo City was a central transportation hub with spacious lands about. It was unlikely the city could be surrounded by demon creatures, even if something went wrong in the Andes Mountains.
The Mounds of the Aorus Sacred Institute also served as sentry towers. The Half-Ridge Mountain City was the first line of defense, followed by the Scorching River that served as the second line of defense. There was no reason for them to be worried, even if a strong horde of demon creatures was advancing toward the city.
Mo Fan nodded. However, he still felt uneasy.
Banlo City seemed absolutely safe…
It was not close to the demon creatures’ territory, nor did it have a unique species like the undead close to it. Even if the kingdom of demon creatures in the Andes Mountains was marching toward them, the people could easily flee by sea, the rivers, or the land. Multiple military bases were not far away. They could easily ask them for backup.
Bo City had been built right up against the Nanling Mountains.
The Ancient Capital was located in the Undead Kingdom’s land.
Was Salan really planning to carry out her plan in Banlo City? Was it really just a normal rain coming from the Pacific Ocean?
Was there no conspiracy involved, nor a potential bloodbath?
Mo Fan was still worried. He asked Elemental Green Chief, who was sitting beside him, “What about the Hillmen? Is there any news from the Mounds?”
Green patted Mo Fan on the shoulder, telling him to calm down. “Don’t worry, the mounds are perfectly normal. There’s no sign of demon creatures,” Green assured him.
“It’s easy to detect demon creatures’ movements when they are in a large group. As long as our sentry towers are operating normally, we can fully focus on the tournament. It’s an important tournament, as the Andes Federation is about to be established. I believe every Mage with outstanding performance in the tournament will make a huge name for themselves,” Dean Schierling spoke up.

The first match after the opening ceremony was between Brianca and Prince Beny’s factions.
Each team had nine students. It was going to be a spectacular match.
When the match began, many people were still outside the arena and the streets, struggling to make their way inside.
Some decided to sit on the ground. Others were standing on their cars.
The arena was not stacked on a high ground. It was possible to see bits and pieces of the match through the gaps and glass.
