Aside from the witch who arrived initially, two more witches reached the explosion site, both were hands that Li Wei had left outside the forest from the start.
As for the four witches who fought alongside him, including the middle-aged witch who had just sworn allegiance to him, they all died under the missile attack.
Li Wei felt a moment of regret because these were witches he had carefully selected and cultivated for a long while, some had even followed him for more than a decade, yet his regret also lasted only a moment.
To a knight, witches were inherently expendable.
The key lay in balancing costs and benefits, and this time, Li Wei's gains obviously far exceeded his losses.
Not only did he annihilate the Witch Alliance in one fell swoop, resolving the crisis outside the city, and regaining face for the previous attack on the mine, but his prestige within the Order of Knights also reached its peak.
