People Are In The Magical World, There Is No Magic Power

"Mr. Rowan, this is where you'll be staying."

Li Tian brought Rowan to a place that was much better than the rest of the soldiers' accommodations.

There was a single room with tables, chairs, a washroom, and a balcony.

Most of the soldiers had six or eight people's accommodations. This was considered good. It was probably a military officer's accommodation.

Li Tian was not stupid since he could become Fanny's confidant.

He guessed that this person from the Daybreak Regiment was a very important person. He might even be of great help in the war.

Li Tian looked at Rowan who was looking around and said with a straight face, "If there's no problem, I'll bring you around to familiarize yourself with the barracks."

"No problem. Sorry to trouble you," Rowan said.

He did not mind staying in the barracks. It was not like Rowan had not experienced sleeping in the open. Under such special circumstances, a small single room was already very good treatment.

"No problem. You're brought by the commander. I have to treat you seriously."

Next, Li Tian brought Rowan to visit the canteen, the training ground, and the other soldiers' accommodations.

Li Tian even brought Rowan to take a look at the tall city wall.

On the dark city wall, Rowan's back was facing the barracks as he looked forward.

What entered his eyes was a wide "tunnel" that was at least a thousand kilometers wide. Rowan could see that the tunnel was blocked by a thick fog in the distance.

There were quite a few missing mountains on the side of the "tunnel", as if the "tunnel" had been forcefully created by someone.

The "tunnel" was surrounded by undulating hills and mountains.

There were many soldiers stationed at the bottom of the city wall.

What caught his attention was that the tunnel seemed to be dyed red. It was a thick bloody color.

Rowan knew what the bloody color was even if he used his toes to think.

"This is the Crimson Earth Path. According to historical records, this place was originally a mountain range. Two thousand years ago, during the war against the demons, a Demon God of the Dragon race fell here and smashed open this path. Dragon blood dyed this land red."

"Although the Dao Ancestor took away the Dragon God's corpse and the essence of the dragon's blood, in order to prevent the power of the gods from greatly changing the environment here, it still dyed this land red forever. The nearest city here is also named Red Earth City."

Li Tian explained the history of this land.

Rowan nodded. He was shocked.

Dragons …

In this world, there was no such thing as a western lizard dragon. There was only the mythical dragon from the legends of China in his previous two lives!

How long would a dragon with a width of over a thousand meters be?

The size of a human might not even be comparable to a dragon scale.

"Do you see the fog in the distance?"

Li Tian pointed at the fog in the distance.

"That's a formation set up by the Spirit Severing Stage cultivator of the Valen Empire. In the fog, our soldiers can't see more than three meters away, and their magic senses are also affected by the fog. However, the enemy can move freely in the fog, and there are also various formations in the fog."

"Most importantly, this fog is constantly expanding. Sooner or later, it will reach our city walls. When that time comes …"

Li Tian did not continue.

Rowan thought for a moment. "Since we can't go through the red earth path, what about the hills on both sides of the path?"

Li Tian immediately replied, "There's fog there too. It's just that it's thinner. Moreover, the enemy has sent elite troops to guard the hills and set up a powerful group attack formation. The Spirit Severing Stage cultivator is also suspected to be there. The formation's magic senses are very strong. Our people will be discovered as soon as they enter the fog."

"What about an indiscriminate large-scale attack?

Why don't you just ignore the fog and destroy the formations on the passageway? "

"It's useless. After sacrificing a large number of our explorers, we found that the nodes of the formation are all set up in the hills. Otherwise, why would the enemy set up such a tight defense in such a rugged hill area?"

No wonder he was forced to retreat again and again.

They couldn't win in a head-on battle, and the enemy protected their weaknesses well.

'But … does the array also use magic perception …?'

Rowan felt that he, a weirdo without magic, could be manipulated.

"However, we do have one person who can enter the fog without being discovered," Li Tian suddenly said. "Unfortunately, that soldier doesn't have the ability to destroy the nodes of the formation. To destroy the formation with brute force, one must at least have the destructive power of the fourth-tier. That soldier is only a third-tier low-level archmage."

"I see …"

Rowan was deep in thought.

Commander Vanni said that he would assign a suitable teammate to him. It was very likely that it would be this person.

"Alright, you should be familiar with the place. The commander said that he would bring you to the meeting room after you familiarize yourself with the barracks. Let's go."

Li Tian nimbly brought Rowan down the city wall.

It was obvious that he was an extremely efficient person.

Soon, Rowan and Li Tian stood at the door of the meeting room on the fourth floor of the command post.

Li Tian raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in."

Vanni's voice was heard.

Li Tian opened the door and walked in with Rowan.

There were more than ten people dressed in military uniforms in the meeting room. They were all sitting around a large rectangular table.

Vanni, who was sitting at the head of the table, had changed into a dignified military uniform.

However, Vanni looked like he was having a headache.

The other military officers were not much better.

After seeing Rowan and Li Tian, Vanni waved at the two of them and motioned for them to come to his side.

"Let me introduce, this is Rowan from the Dawn Operations Group. He will help us break through the formations."

The other military officers had different expressions after hearing this. Some were silent, some had their eyes sparkling, some frowned …

Rowan saw all of this.

It seemed like they were not united enough.

After thinking for a while, Rowan asked Vanni, "You look like you have a headache. Did something happen?"

Vanni thought for a while, "… It's fine to tell you. Just a moment ago, we received a report from the soldiers who went to the hill area to investigate before they died. They were ambushed by the enemy."

Ambushed in advance?

Rowan squinted his eyes and asked, "Information leaked?"

"… Yes, and it's not the first time."

Vanni looked at the military officers and said word by word, "To be able to keep leaking important information, it's obviously not something an ordinary soldier can do. I suspect that the military officers here might be traitors or spies."

After hearing this, the other military officers had different expressions, but none of them refuted.

They also realized that there might be traitors or spies, but they were not sure who it was. They could only look at their former comrades with suspicious eyes.

"Don't you have any Magic Lie Detector Equipment?"

Rowan recalled the Magic Lie Detector Equipment that Ye Jian had given him.

It was definitely useful for finding traitors or spies.

"We do, but as long as you understand how it works and how it works, you can cast the corresponding Magic, Spell, or Combat Skill on yourself to make the Magic Lie Detector lose its effect. It doesn't matter if it's a spy or a military officer who has undergone special military training. It's not difficult for them to do it. I can do it too."

Vanni rubbed her temples with a headache.

Rowan fell into deep thought.

Casting Magic on himself …

What if he used the Magic Breaker on them to detect lies?

An old military officer saw Rowan's thoughtful expression and said in a deep voice, "I've long heard that the people in the Operations Group are all very capable. Looking at Rowan's expression, does Mo Fei have a plan?"

Everyone in the meeting room looked at Rowan. Some of them were looking at him with anticipation, some with indifference, and some with impatience.

Rowan did not hesitate. He immediately took out his Magic Breaker Sword.

BANG!

The sword was placed on the table. Its weight caused it to vibrate quite a bit.

"Allow me to introduce it to you, this is my Magic Origin Equipment. It can disrupt Magic, eliminate Magic, and reflect Magic. It's even effective against fifth-tier Magic."

After hearing Rowan's words, apart from Vanni, who already knew about it, everyone focused their attention on the Magic Breaker Sword.

"It's effective against fifth-tier Magic … your Magic Origin Equipment can break through Warren's Soul Formation?!"

A middle-aged military officer rose to his feet in excitement.

"That's right, that's why I'm here."

Rowan nodded.

"But before that, we can use this sword to identify the traitor … Commander Vanni, take out the Lie Detector Device and let everyone check it. I'll stick the sword on the person being checked."

Vanni was startled, before his face was overjoyed.

"Great idea!"

Vanni immediately took out a piece of Lie Detector Magic Equipment from his storage equipment.

Some of the soldiers did not panic, but some of them could not help but tense up.

"BANG!"

The aura of the fifth-rank Fighting Emperor spread across the meeting room. The soldiers and Li Tian who were only in the fourth-rank were struggling to catch their breaths.

Only Rowan, who was unable to sense the extraordinary energy, remained calm.

Vanni looked at the soldiers sternly.

"I'll say this first, I advise you not to try anything funny. Otherwise, don't blame me for not holding back."

"Commander, don't you worry, I'll cooperate," said the middle-aged soldier who had stood up previously.

"A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shadow," said the old soldier who spoke first.

The other soldiers expressed their willingness to cooperate too.

"Very well, if that's the case, I'll set an example!"

Vanni looked at Rowan.

Rowan understood. He picked up the Broken Demon and stuck the sword on Vanni's chest and stomach.

Vanni could feel the Battle Qi circulating in his chest and stomach dissipating instantly. The Battle Qi could only stay in his body, and could not leave.

"I'm not a traitor or a spy. I didn't do anything to leak the information."

The Lie Detector Device on the table did not respond. He was telling the truth.

"Everyone, it's your turn. Remember, you have to repeat what I just said," said Vanni.

Rowan walked up to the old soldier and stuck the Broken Demon on him in the same way.

The old soldier nodded when he sensed his magic being restricted.

"I'm not a traitor or a spy. I didn't do anything to leak the information."

The Lie Detector Device did not respond. He was telling the truth.

Rowan continued to test the Lie Detector Device. He did not have any problem with a few of the soldiers.

He found a young soldier who seemed to be around the same age as Vanni.

Rowan stuck the Broken Demon on him.

"I'm not a traitor or a spy."

No reaction. He was telling the truth.

However …

"What about the second half of your sentence?" asked Rowan.

The expressions of the other officers became serious.

Not being a spy or a traitor didn't mean that they wouldn't leak information.

"I … I …"

The young officer named Burt couldn't help but panic. He gritted his teeth and cast a spell that could block the lie detector mold.

However, as soon as the spell was cast on him, it was immediately dispelled by Mana Breaker.

Rowan exerted his strength and pushed Broken Demon, which was stuck to Burt's body vertically, causing the chair and Burt to topple over.

"Bang!!!"

The terrifying force crushed the chair and pinned Burt to the ground. Even the floor, which had been reinforced with magic, caved in slightly.

"Pu!"

Burt spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although he was at the fourth rank, his physical quality was not high. Thus, this pressure caused him to suffer internal injuries.

"You just used magic," Rowan said coldly.

Rowan could clearly feel that his Mana Break had eliminated something.

If it were a head-on battle, Rowan might not be able to defeat Burt. But now, Burt's Mana was restricted by Mana Breaker, which was why Rowan was able to overwhelm him so easily.

"You!"

Burt stared fixedly at Rowan. He wanted to get up, but he was completely unable to resist Rowan's body, which had been strengthened by anti-magic.

Professionals were able to attach supernatural energy to their bodies and increase their physical quality, but Burt was currently being pressed down by Mana Breaker and was unable to use magic at all.

Burt's face was filled with rage. He didn't look as panicked as before at all.

He raised his right hand, which hadn't been touched by Mana Breaker, and an extremely compressed Torrential Water sword appeared in his hand, stabbing towards Rowan.

"Burt!"

Vanni roared explosively.

The battle-qi that filled the room transformed into a square-shaped plate, smashing down viciously towards Burt's sword-wielding right hand.

"Bang!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Beneath the transparent plate was a mangled mess of flesh and blood.

The pain of his arm being crushed into meat paste caused Burt to scream in agony.

"Burt, I remember telling you that you're not allowed to play any tricks, right?"

Vanni said coldly.

"I'll give you one last chance. Don't make me call the interrogators over to mentally control you."

Upon mentioning mental control, Burt's face revealed a look of terror.

"I'll talk!

I'll talk! "

"It's Councilman Sequeira!

He sent me here to observe the frontlines and relay information back, so that we can use the truth to delay the reinforcements sent by the President! "

"It's not just me. He also sent many others to other frontlines. Many years ago, he did the same thing on the frontlines with the Umir Kingdom!"

"That's all I know. I didn't lie to you!

I didn't relay any information to the Walen Empire! "

Burt spat out many words that angered the officers.

Indeed, he wasn't a traitor or a spy, but this infighting only made the officers even angrier.

They were fighting to the death on the frontlines. Who knew how many of their brothers and sisters had died. Yet, this group of people actually dared to cause infighting in the backlines?!

Although they already knew that the Radical Faction and the Conservative Faction were at loggerheads with each other, this was the first time they had actually experienced such a conflict.

Vanni glanced at the unresponsive lie-detector equipment, and directly used his battle-qi to knock Burt unconscious.

"Let's continue testing the others first. Regarding Burt, I'll contact the President later."

Anger aside, the testing still had to continue.

Burt really wasn't a traitor or a spy. He didn't leak any information to the Walen Empire.

If the Radical Faction wasn't so retarded as to "leak information to the enemy country and use pressure to force the President to abdicate", then the spy and traitor should be someone else.

Soon, everyone was done with the testing.

There were no problems.

"Could it really have been those retarded Radical Faction people who leaked the information?"

Vanni fell into deep thought.

"Commander."

The old officer suddenly said.

"We still have someone who has access to secret military intelligence that hasn't been tested yet."

Vanni was startled. He quickly turned around and looked at Li Tian, who had been standing behind him without moving the entire time.

— — As the Commander's trusted aide, of course he had access to secret military intelligence.
