Beams of light filled the sky, and it didn't take long before the two harpies were beaten all over with scars.

Unfortunately, both of them were warriors, using combat energy and none of the varied methods that a mage would possess.

Even when they both unleashed their domains simultaneously, and could coordinate with one another's domains, they were still completely suppressed by Sephidya's domain alone. The difference in strength left them utterly hopeless.

With a wave of Sephidya's hand, a terrifying chill erupted, significantly slowing the two down.

Immediately following, a silver chain appeared in Sephidya's hand. It was the same magic used to control the Black Nest Lord previously, only now enhanced with the addition of Silver Light, altering its color.

The two who had been trying their hardest to escape were suddenly and completely bound by the chain.

The next moment, they discovered that their powers were entirely sealed.

Not only was their own combat energy unusable, but even their domains and rules were incapacitated. Aside from their physical attributes, all other powers vanished, despite being as innate as instincts.

Never having imagined such a thing could happen, the two harpies were utterly bewildered.

The mage's power on their side wasn't very strong, same for the beastmen, so they had no understanding of this whatsoever.

Although they knew powerful mages were strong, they never truly believed that a mage's power could surpass that of a warrior. Hearing rumors, they merely thought it was self-hypnosis by those frail mages.

Who would have thought that the power of magic could be so wondrous and terrifying.

Though they still had their inherent strength, they were bound and unable to move at all.

"Wipe out these birdmen... No, surrender and they won't be killed, let them surrender."

Sephidya had initially been furious, wanting to destroy the entire flying army, but suddenly reconsidered and changed her command.

These guys must be captured and made into slaves to compensate for her losses. Wait, she captured two Legends; those two Legends alone could fully compensate for the losses.

But seeing the destroyed land, Sephidya's anger continued to rise.

It's not a matter of whether it can be compensated or how much it's worth, it's about the master's trust.

The master trusted her enough to entrust her with the protection of the territory, and now it's come to this, how could she not be angry? If it weren't for the two harpies being too frail, Sephidya would really want to give them a few hits.

The commander of the floating battleship immediately used the loudspeaker to let the birdmen know to surrender.

But after several calls to no effect, he understood the language barrier problem upon the aide's reminder.

Once the voice was changed to the beastman language, the members of the Flying Beast Alliance finally understood.

Interestingly, although the Flying Beast Alliance and the beastmen were at odds, they both adapted to the same language. Merely a slight difference in pronunciation, akin to two dialects of the same language.

Some who were already terrified promptly surrendered and descended towards the ground.

The remaining, faced with the artillery of the floating battleship and the furious attacks discharged into the air by Sephidya, were shattered on the spot. Next year's land here would undoubtedly become very fertile.

The entire war erupted quickly and ended even faster.

Apart from those who saw the situation unfavorably early on and fled before the commander could speak, the rest either died or were captured. At this time, some hidden individuals below finally emerged.

And in the sky, the airborne troops who had been following Sephidya also finally arrived late.

This wasn't really their fault; in fact, they set out earlier than Sephidya.

Upon receiving orders, they mobilized immediately, but Sephidya's speed was unmatched by them; with instant teleportation and magic net positioning, she arrived shortly after. These people appeared considerably slower.

Sephidya waved her hand: "Capture them all and tally our losses."

Sephidya did not return but used earth attribute magic nearby to create a temporary dwelling as an office. The tally was completed quickly, and the losses were greater than Sephidya had imagined.

These units from the Flying Beast Alliance attacked soon after arriving two days ago, causing destructive damage.

Caught unprepared at first, a large number of people heading north for pioneering were suddenly killed.

Mind you, these were the very foundations Zhao Guang relied on for population growth. A significant portion were rabbitfolk, but the Flying Beast Alliance, seeing rabbitfolk, vented their rage as if they were their mortal enemy beastmen.

The northernmost rabbitfolk almost entirely perished.

In less than two days, the northern residents lost over thirty thousand people, a grave loss.

Even replenishing them isn't easy, given the already sparse population of her territory.

Compared to this, the destroyed farmlands seemed minor. After all, farmlands could be re-flattened and replanted, avoiding significant aftereffects.

The greatest economic loss wasn't these farmlands but the magic dolls, the giant magic dolls Zhao Guang stationed to aid with development and protection.

Just as Sephidya thought, the giant magic dolls, despite only reaching the level of super professionals, had formidable defenses.

The birdmen's great knights couldn't break through the giant magic dolls' defenses quickly. If they indeed charged down for battle, carelessness might lead to being counter-killed by the opponent.

In the end, two Legends made their move. To avoid provoking others, Zhao Guang had created thirty giant magic dolls in total.

But now, these two Legends eliminated sixteen in one go, more than half of them.

Though Zhao Guang can create more, it takes time to do so.

These giant magic dolls weren't just a deterrent force, most critically, they were vital tools for northern development projects. Losing them now would severely impact the pace of northern development.

Another point, this was the first invasion since her territory was established.

Such significant losses were a first as well, and being invaded under her care made it even worse.

Sephidya looked at those damned birdmen, wishing dearly to kill them all.

"For those who have reached the level of junior warriors, control them with the slave scrolls. I don't want to see them on our battlefield again in the future." Sephidya directly ordered.

"But we don't have enough slave scrolls."

Though there were only over three thousand in front, they didn't really have that many scrolls prepared.
