Chapter 95: Chapter 92: Apprentice War (11)
At the Clear Frost Academy camp, Greg was still desperately holding on, his Earth Element Armor was now scarcely remaining, but with a shout, “Reinforcements have arrived!” the Annihilation Academy’s Black Wizard Apprentices began to retreat.
“Reinforcements? The Secret Keeper Academy?” Greg glanced backward and discovered a regiment of White Wizards slowly advancing towards his position.
“How disappointing,” Aldo, seeing the regiment of White Wizards from the Secret Keeper Academy, sneered and began to direct the Undead to retreat.
He hadn’t yet become so arrogant as to confront a whole regiment of White Wizards.
Greg’s predicament was instantly alleviated.
“Greg, I need Clear Frost Academy’s help,” Orey said, getting straight to the point as soon as they met.
“What kind of help?” Greg’s figure returned to normal, looking somewhat listless and drained.
It seemed the recent battle had taken a heavy toll on him.
“I need you to rally the Apprentices of Clear Frost Academy and push forward with me to crush these Black Wizard Apprentices.”
“Push forward?” Greg frowned, “What are you planning?”
A glint of sharpness flashed in Orey’s eyes:
“I’ve already sent people to cut off the Black Wizards’ escape route. As long as we push forward, there’s a high chance we’ll be able to eliminate all these Black Wizard Apprentices.”
“Hiss, that’s a bold plan.” Greg was taken aback by Orey’s strategy, and after a brief moment of thought, he agreed to Orey’s request.
“Clear Frost Wizard Academy will fully cooperate with you, but…” Greg glanced at the White Wizard Apprentices in the camp, hesitant to continue.
These White Wizard Apprentices, after this battle, had lost all their courage. If they encountered a breakout by the Black Wizard Apprentices, they might become disorganized.
“Don’t worry,” Orey confidently smiled, “Clear Frost Academy and Aurora Academy just need to make up the numbers.
The actual fighting just needs you to prevent some scattered Black Wizard Apprentices from escaping.”
Greg agreed without hesitation, turning immediately to organize the Apprentices.
About twenty minutes later, the Apprentices from Clear Frost Academy and Aurora Academy were assembled.
This night raid had caused great losses to both sides, with over eight hundred Apprentices dead, exceeding more than half of the number each side had brought.
With a grim expression, Greg and Menasi, whose Soul Fire was constantly flickering, met up with Orey; they now fully understood the experience of the Secret Keeper Academy.
War was indeed too cruel.
“Now that you have both organized your forces, let’s get started.” Orey pointed toward the dense forest and corners of his mouth revealed a confident smile.
“This battle shall be the final war!”
On the other side of the forest, Richard was leading two hundred Black Wizard Apprentices towards the battlefield.
In the meantime, Richard constantly switched his view to assess the situation, and upon seeing that the Void Annihilation forces had begun to retreat, he immediately ordered Wuni to hurry back.
He now needed to locate those two regiments of the Secret Keeper Academy’s White Wizards.
“Boss, we’re approaching the trap zone we set up ahead,” reported a Black Wizard Apprentice to Richard.
Richard nodded, “Good, deploy a few Alchemy Apprentices here to stand guard, and after we complete the rendezvous, we’ll rely on these Magic Array traps to buy us time.”
Wuni’s flying speed was very fast, and with its high altitude, the range of sight was exceedingly vast. Therefore, in just a few minutes, he found traces of one of the White Wizard regiments.
But the bad news was, this regiment was about to engage with the Void Academy.
“Damn it,” Richard cursed, immediately leading the Apprentices to hasten towards the battlefield.
If surrounded on three sides, the Void Academy and Annihilation Academy feared they would suffer heavy losses.
An ear-splitting explosion echoed through the woods, catching the fleeing Black Wizard Apprentices by surprise, causing them to immediately look for the Spellcasters.
“White Wizard Army?” Anderson saw the White Wizard regiment a few hundred meters away, feeling a sudden chill in his heart.
Had they been encircled?
He thought carefully and realized that the force that came to the camp to provide support was only a small part and definitely not all of the White Wizard Apprentices from the Secret Keeper Academy.
“No good, we must break out of the encirclement at once!”
Anderson decisively made a decision, leading the Apprentices of the Void Academy to charge through.
Balto, commanding the White Wizard Army, sneered, then ordered the Apprentices to start casting spells carpet-style.
As long as you don’t mind the high casualties, by all means, charge through!
The Spells followed a parabolic arc, falling beside the Black Wizard Apprentices, forcing them to run backward.
“Damn it, this way!” Anderson cursed, leading the Apprentices to run toward the right side.
Meanwhile, on another front, the Annihilation Academy also encountered the blockade of the White Wizard Army.
“Damn, have we been surrounded?”
In Aldo’s eyes, the Soul Fire kept flickering—an indication of his extreme unrest.
“To the center,” Aldo decided, leading the Annihilation Academy’s Apprentices to the left.
Now, with opposition in front and pursuers behind, only by merging with the Void Academy could they use the combat power of higher-end Apprentices to break free.
Behind the two Academies, the regiment of White Wizards led by Orey was leisurely pursuing the Black Wizard Apprentices, along with Clear Frost and Aurora.
The explosions coming from ahead proved that the White Wizard regiments he had sent out had already engaged with the Black Wizard Apprentices. If those two Academies weren’t foolish, they should converge toward the center.
Of course, the two Academies might also disperse their Apprentices and flee in every direction, but that possibility was slim.
Because Advanced Apprentices, although relatively safe when in big numbers, once their numbers dwindle, they could easily be singled out.
That would not be a good situation for the Advanced Apprentices.
