Chapter 1805: Assembling

Abel asked Wizard Hume, “I have 2000 bottles of power potion and 2000 bottles of mana potion. Do you think this is enough?”

Wizard Hume was very pleased, “Thank you so much, Grandmaster Bennett! This is more than enough.”

After receiving a mission yesterday to supply resources to a major war that was fought on the frontline, Wizard Hume was starting to get a bit troubled. Before, it was very easy to prepare the amount even if Grandmaster Bennett wasn’t here to make extra, but after Wizard Dolan used up all the super healing potions, there was not enough inside the warehouse to supply even ten people. No one was using the regular healing potions at this point. If Grandmaster Bennett weren’t here to make more super-level potions, no one would feel confident enough to go on the battlefield.

Abel’s decision was made him a lot more relaxed. 2000 bottles of the power potion and 2000 bottles of the mana potion. The number was enough for a major war.

Wizard Hume had a full smile, “I’ll make sure to pay you quickly enough, Grandmaster Bennett!”

Abel laughed and refused, “The Wizard Union fights for the continent, Wizard Hume. There’s no way I’m receiving payment for this.”

It wasn’t like Abel was trying to be humble. Rather, he was really desperate to do everything in his power to delay the demon from beyond from making any move.

Wizard Hume stood up and bowed, “I’ll make sure to let all the class holders that are participating. That’s the last I can do.”

On the Howling Castle, which was located on the frontline, there were more law-defying wizards gathered up than the Wizard Union expected. It all had to do with the rewards that the Wizard Union provided. They’ve been providing a series of rewards as soon as they sent out the command. Of course, in this particular mission, the kill counter could be directly transferred into the rewards that were offered. Those included legendary items that could aid with promotion, treasures that could be used to boost wizards, and potions that could recover broken limbs. Among them, the ones that could let the class holders go mad would be the four recipes that could prolong one’s life expectancy. These recipes were what captured the attention of the law-defying wizards the most, and yes, they were the same bunch as the ones Abel got out of a vegetative state. Although they all had just 60 years added to their life, their fighting experiences marked each and every one of them to be veterans on the battlefield. For the rewards that were provided this time, they were willing to give it their absolute best.

Life-prolonging potions of the same rank could only be consumed once, but four types of potions could, together, at least one law-defying wizard’s lifespan by 200 years. If there was a total of 200 years, these law-defying wizards would always have the motivation to fight harder. Now that they knew that Abel could help them get treated, they now knew that they could just go to Abel again if they had the recipes and ingredients for the other life-prolonging potions.

Wizard Hume looked towards these law-defying wizards, “Quiet, everyone!”

There were just too many law-defying wizards today. Some of the advanced wizards and the other class holders had to stay out so it was just these ones inside the hallroom. Wizard Hume was keeping everyone silent to listen to him.

Wizard Hume got loud, “Today, the Wizard Union has called everyone of you here for the greatest warfare that’s fought on the frontline since the last several thousand years. Our target is the resource point of the Nation of Evil! Take as many resources as you can!”

The other law-defying wizards had guessed so as soon as they arrived. Still, they were quite surprised to hear that this was the biggest war that was fought in several thousand years. Some of them got excited because of this. Others were not so keen. The bigger the scale was, the bigger the danger was, and the more reactive the Nation of God was going to get. Missions and wars were two different things. While law-defying wizards would rarely suffer any casualties during a mission, death was very commonplace in a war. Wizards were always known to prioritize their lives before anything else, which was why the thought of going to war made so many of them wanted to leave.

Wizard Hume continued, “Everyone! Do you know why the Wizard Union has gotten out so many rewards this time? It’s simple! This war is too important! If you don’t want in, you can leave now!”

No law-defying wizards here would just leave. They weren’t stupid. Leaving would mean that the Wizard Union would block their access to resources permanently.

Wizard Hume continued, “Everyone, for this particular operation, Grandmaster Bennett has provided, for free, 2000 bottles of the power potion and 2000 bottles of the mana potions to ensure your safety out there. I do hope that you don’t ruin his good will.”

As they heard that Grandmaster Bennett provided so many potions this time, all the law-defying wizards became very excited. They understood one thing clearly. As long as they didn’t die, no matter how badly they were injured, Grandmaster Bennett’s potions would always keep them healing and eventually bring them to full health. They didn’t say anything in return because, sometimes, gratitude wasn’t supposed to be expressed with words.

Wizard Charlie was a rank 24 wizard from the lightning clan. He was one of the law-defying wizards that Abel rescued from a vegetated state. The 100 bottles of the power potion inside his portal bag was a very significant indication of how good the relationship between the lightning clan and Grandmaster Bennett was. This was just a fraction of how much Grandmaster Bennett was handing out to the lightning clan, by the way. All the dozens of the lightning clan wizards that came here had the same amount in their own portal bags, which was why they felt so confident to search for the other four life-prolonging potions.

So, there were about 15 resource points that they had to fight over at the Nation of God’s resource points. They all had quite a distance from the Nation of God. On average, 20 to 30 law-defying wizards would be deployed to attack each resource point with some backup reinforcements. In total, nearly 400 law-defying wizards were asked to be in this particular operation. In addition, the barbarian warriors that were called from the Battlesong Plateau and the archpriests from the Crazy Heart Valley also were composed to form the unit required for this operation.

Of course, given how the lightning clan wizards were so powerful themselves, they were specially told to work on their own. With that, 16 lightning clan wizards brought 200 advanced wizards, one barbarian warrior, and ten archpriests to head towards one resource point. As they went towards their target, WIzard Charlie brought the team and marched forward as carefully as they could. There wasn’t anything that could mark their traces. Once they were 5 miles away from the resource point, they stopped for an assembly.

Wiard Charlie commanded, “I want the archpriests to bring out their summon creatures. After that, the barbarian warrior will add buff to everyone.”

The ten archpriests called out their skeletons, metallic stone monsters, claystone monsters, and all kinds of other summon creatures. As for the barbarian warrior, he used a “scream,” “combat system” and “command command” to add stats to all the class holders and summon creatures. Wizard Charlie took out a magic item that served as a timer to wait for the right time to come.

This time, it was arranged that 15 targets would be attacked at the same time. This was a number that even Wizard Charlie hadn’t seen in all his very long life. There were 400 something law-defying wizards and near 5000 advanced wizards, ten-something barbarian warriors, and 100 something archpriests. They had to be as scary as they could be. By the way, among the 400 law-defying wizards, about half were ones that Grandmaster Bennett recovered from a vegetated state. If Grandmaster Bennett wasn’t helping this time, even if the Wizard Union was to initiate forced conscription, they still wouldn’t be able to get all this number here all at once.

As for the central continent, right now it was just rank 21 law-defying wizards that were staying on post. They had absolutely no right to appear on the frontline.

Wizard Charlie revealed the plan this time, “The time has come. I want the advanced wizards and archpriests to stay. The same for the barbarian warriors. The 15 law-defying wizards and I will be the first to break the defence, and once that’s done, everyone else comes in following our lead.”

As a matter of fact, Wizard Charlie didn’t think that much was going to happen in this operation. They just had too many on their own side and given from his understanding of the Nation of God, they were not going to send more than five mad knights to one resource point. They might also have an addition of 1000 sacred knights including some mid-lower tier ones, but a sneak attack like what they were about to do should suffice.

According to Wizard Charlie, the 16 law-defying wizards might just be enough to wipe out the entire place. They just had to be fast so that the Nation of God couldn’t send in any reinforcements.

It was not like they’ve never attacked resource points before, by the way. While the targets were very limited, the Wizard Union did have an unspoken agreement with the Nation of God to take the resources as much as possible from each other. This was really so that the powerful ones could strengthen their powers faster. Originally, this was going to keep happening, but what happened to the guardian wings was making the Wizard Union want to give up on training their soldiers. What the Wizard Union wanted to do now, instead, was to limit the number of units of the battlefront so they could drain out as much energy out of the guardian wings as possible.

The mission was only started with the right amount of strategic instructions. Wizard Charlie nodded towards his 15 lightning clan comrades, who were all previous in vegetated states. Yes, they were all here for the life-prolonging ingredients. It was the reason that they joined to be hitting the exact same resource point. They were doing it so that when they were distributed the rewards, they would get to keep more to themselves instead of having to share with a large group.

WIzard Charlie called out, “Action!”

Amidst the 16 white lights, the 16 law-defying wizards arrived at the front of the resource point in just ten-something seconds. 32 streaks of the “lightning chains” hit the defensive circle.

All the sacred knights were shaken awake, “Enemy incoming!”

The reaction of the mad knights was extremely quick. Even though the 16 law-defying wizards had been acting very quickly, all it took was two “lightning chains” for a counterattack to take place. It wouldn’t take that much time for the law-defying wizards to activate two “lightning chains” in a row, and according to Wizard Charlie’s estimation, all it would take were 6 “lightning chains” to break through the defensive circles completely. Given that there were 16 law-defying wizards activating the lightning chain six times each, that would be a total of 200 something times. Yes, all of them were activating the spells with both of their hands.

As soon as they activated up to 2 lightning chains, a freezing ripple appeared amidst the fort and rushed towards the 16 law-defying wizards. This was the effect of the mad knight using the “sacred freezing.” Still, because of how rushed it was and how it was cast by two mad knights that were just on patrol, the attack power was nowhere close to matching the same level as when a thousand sacred knights were forming the battle formation.
