Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

Chapter 97: Chapter 93: Apprentice War (12)

“Is the war progressing too fast, Clear Frost?” The Black Tower Great Wizard looked at the glass dome before him, which enclosed the secret realm where Richard and the others were located, allowing him to see every move of all the apprentices clearly.

Sitting opposite the Black Tower Great Wizard, the mage known as Clear Frost was an Ice person, his whole body composed of a pale blue ice.

“Indeed, it’s a bit fast,” the Great Wizard Clear Frost exhaled a breath of cold air, “It’s only the first day, and all three battlefields are already a complete mess.”

“But the results seem quite good,” next to the Great Wizard Clear Frost, a dazzling light cloaked in a cape sent out a wave of spiritual energy—he was the Aurora Great Wizard.

“Indeed, not bad, our side has already started to have the capability of legion warfare,” said a middle-aged man cloaked in a cape, his mouth and eyes sewn shut with risks, giving him a rather scary look—he was the Secret Keeper Great Wizard.

“The rules need to be changed, otherwise there would be nothing left for us to fight,” stated a deep energy cloaked in a wizard robe, “Once the White Wizard Army fully adapts, the Black Wizards won’t stand a chance.”

The first Apprentice War, even the Great Wizards had made some minor mistakes.

They originally designed the war to last about a year, with various reconnaissance, advances, confrontations, but as it looks now, the wizard apprentices didn’t need any of it.

At this rate, the war could end in another two days. @@novelbin@@

They were too far from the apprentices, somewhat forgetting how scarce the apprentices’ means were.

“There’s no need to rush, Void,” another Great Wizard, looking like a normal human just like the Black Tower Great Wizard, spoke up, “Don’t forget, the number of apprentices is also a condition for victory.”

“But it’s still unfavorable for us,” the Black Tower Great Wizard continued, “According to the Plane Battlefield simulation, Black Wizards occupy the positions of native powerhouses, their numbers should be more than that of White Wizards, who should be relying on the superiority of legion warfare to strike them down one by one.

But now it’s the other way around. When have we ever encountered a war where wizards outnumber natives during plane conquest?”

“Speak your mind, Black Tower,” said the Great Wizard Clear Frost indifferently.

The Black Tower Great Wizard let out a bizarre chuckle:

“Clear Frost, no matter how you look at it, you have the advantage this time. Our little guys are just here to serve as your whetstone. Shouldn’t you make some gesture?”

“Black Tower, you still love bargaining,” the Great Wizard Clear Frost said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, “How about one victory? If Black Wizards win a match, it counts as your win.”

Having said that, he then looked at Void and Annihilation, the two Great Wizards.

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

Both Great Wizards agreed to this rule modification.

“Aurora, Secret Keeper, what about the two of you?” the Black Tower Great Wizard looked towards the remaining two Great Wizards of the White Wizard camp.

The two Great Wizards passed a spiritual message between each other, and also agreed to the rule change.

The Black Tower Great Wizard clapped his hands, and a scroll bearing mystical energy appeared out of thin air. The Black Tower Great Wizard drew a couple of lines on it with his finger, and its content instantly changed.

“The contract is amended, let’s continue watching.”

…

Inside the public resource point, the Black Wizard Apprentice side also tallied the loss results. In this night raid, the casualties of Void Academy were greater, around one hundred and twenty people, while Annihilation Academy suffered less due to the help of Aldo’s Undead Puppets.

After the casualty numbers were tallied, the commanders of the three academies gathered in the conference room to discuss the next strategy.

“Gentlemen, I think we need to make some adjustments to our strategy,” Richard sat in his chair, his fingers tapping unhurriedly on the table.

On either side of him, Anderson from Void Academy and Aldo from Annihilation Academy were silent and expressionless.

“How did you know we were being besieged?” Aldo suddenly asked, “Your timing was just right, even if I sent someone to call for help, it wouldn’t have been possible.”

“How did I know?”

Richard laughed and snapped his fingers. Wuni flew into the room from the window, settling comfortably on Richard’s shoulder.

“Did neither of you think of Magic Pets?”

Anderson and Aldo were startled, and then a chill grew in their hearts.

They had indeed not thought about Magic Pets.

And by the looks of Richard, this Magic Pet might have been watching them for God knows how long, probably even monitoring their night raid.

“Magic Pets…” Anderson paused, “That’s indeed a blind spot.”

The Secret Realm was no stranger to Magic Beasts and like; a single crow on a branch would attract little attention.

“The White Wizard Apprentices probably haven’t noticed either, which is good for us,” Aldo said with a serious voice.

“It’s only a matter of time before we’re discovered,” Richard shook his head, “The White Wizard Academy should have taught about Magic Pet Reconnaissance. It won’t be long before they realize something is watching them.”

“What did you mean by changing our strategy?” Anderson suddenly asked.

“The growth of White Wizard Apprentices has been too fast, if we want to win the war, we must play to our strengths,” a glint flashed in Richard’s eyes, “We should give up trying to win by seizing resource points. Instead, we should aim to reduce the number of White Wizard Apprentices as much as possible.

Cutting their numbers by half is also a way to victory.”

“We are well aware of this,” Aldo retorted, “But trading losses with the White Wizard Army, it seems like we’re at a disadvantage.”

Richard smiled confidently in response, “Who said we’re going to fight them head-on?”

“Hm?”
