In the following days, the Mage League proceeded smoothly. Both the team and solo competitions completed their first round of eliminations.
At the same time, the crackdown on heretics also achieved impressive progress. The entire Northern Alliance wiped out dozens of heretic bases, captured countless heretics, and freed innumerable innocent civilians who had been trapped.
It wasn't just the Northern Alliance—other empires launched similar campaigns and uncovered quite a few heretic bases as well.
All sorts of inspiring news kept pouring in. As the activity of heretics gradually died down, people shifted their attention back to the Mage League.
After the first round of eliminations, there would be a short break for several days before the second round—the top 16 to top 8 matches—began.
By now, it was already the end of August.
