The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 83 Apprentice War (I)

Ole McIntosh is an outstanding apprentice at the Secret Keeper Wizard Academy. In the past ten years of examinations, he easily defeated many opponents with his superb Shaping Wizardry, and won the final reward of the ten-year examination and the nickname of "Conqueror".

But Ole was very calm about it.

As an apprentice from a wizard family, he had no interest in seeing other wizard apprentices fighting in the ring.

He longed for a bloody battle, because only that kind of battle could show his true strength.

Not long ago, the academy finally made public the content of the exchange competition, and the rules of the Apprentice War instantly aroused his interest.

There were no guardian wizards in this war, and all the apprentices fought with real swords and guns.

This rule made Ole's blood boil, this was the battle he expected!
……

Entering the battlefield, you are greeted by the smell of earth.

Ole looked around. He was now in a forest. Not far from him there was a huge crystal stone suspended in the air.

I guess this is the resource point mentioned in the academy rules.

"The concentration of magic is so high, at least twice that of the wizarding world."

A voice came from behind Ole, he turned around and found a black-haired man looking at him.

"Bartola, I didn't expect you to be here."

Ole raised his eyebrows. The black-haired man in front of him was his old rival in the academy, Bartola from the alchemy school, also known as the Mechanic.

"Don't be so unfriendly. We are all teammates in this war." Bartola smiled cunningly, like a black fox.

"That's better." Orel responded coldly, and then shouted to the apprentices around him, "I am Orel McIntosh, apprentices of the Secret Keeper Wizard Academy, gather here!"

As the winner of the ten-year exam, Ole has a high reputation among wizard apprentices.

In times of war like this, it is obviously normal for the weak to rely on the strong.

"One thousand five hundred apprentices." Olei counted the number of apprentices and found that the entire resource point was almost entirely populated by apprentices from the Secret Keeper Academy.

“One resource point has 1,500 apprentices, and three resource points have 4,500 apprentices, which is almost the same number of people from our academy participating in the war.

It seems that the other two areas should be the same, with about 4,500 people each."

"This number of apprentices is a bit shocking, Ole." Bartola came to Ole's side, "With this number of apprentices, the average amount of magic stones we get each month is less than one per person."

"Then let's go and rob the dark wizard apprentice's resource points." Ole answered without thinking.

"Oh, it seems our conqueror has already had an idea." Bartola smiled.

Ole glanced at him coldly and said, "Now that the war has just begun and everyone still has a lot of magic stones, occupy as many resource points of the dark wizard apprentices as possible.

It would be best if we can kill them in one go, but if we can’t kill them we should weaken them as much as possible.”

Bartola nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed a good idea. With your appeal, the apprentices in our academy will definitely follow you. As long as we gain an advantage in the early stage, the war will be much easier to fight later."

"What about you?" Orel stared at Bartola and asked, "Mechanic Bartola, are you going to follow me?"

Bartola hesitated.
"Forget about me. Taking the initiative to attack is not my strong point. I will cheer you on from the rear. Leave me 300 people, and I will repair some things while I am at it."

"Do you think I will fail?" Ou Lei raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat stiff tone.

Bartola smiled, a sly glint in his eyes.

"It's better to be prepared."

……

On the other side of the battlefield, the dark wizard apprentices began their plans.

As a legendary apprentice of the Black Tower Wizarding Academy, Richard naturally became the leader of the apprentices of the Black Tower Wizarding Academy after showing his strength a little.

Unfortunately, Richard did not find Ellie among this batch of apprentices. "Random assignment is really a headache."

Richard rubbed his head and then turned his gaze to the bald apprentice not far away.

The bald apprentice was dressed in a red robe and held a staff as tall as a person in his hand. The head of the staff emitted extraordinary magical fluctuations, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary object.

"Eugene, what are you going to do?"

Eugene is the official apprentice of Master Aaron of the Black Tower Wizard Academy, majoring in the school of transmutation. In the last bloody exam, he was also one of the twenty people who entered the secret realm.

"I...I don't have any ideas."

Eugene touched his bald head and pretended to be very shy.

In his opinion, it would be a stupid thing to seize the leadership of the apprentice at the very beginning.

The white wizard apprentices have nearly three and a half times more manpower than the black wizard apprentices. At the beginning of the game when everyone has the most magic stones, even a fool knows that the white wizard apprentices will rush over and give the black wizard apprentices a severe blow.

Taking command at this time not only puts you under the greatest pressure, but also carries a huge risk of failure.

Eugene thought he was a smart man, and only a fool would compete with Richard for leadership at this time.

Seeing that Eugene had no intention of leading, Richard sneered in his heart and knew the other party's plan.

The leadership during this initial period is indeed a hot potato...

But although the risks during this period are great, the rewards are equally huge.

"Since you have no idea, I will be thick-skinned and become the commander." Richard smiled at the apprentices and named himself the commander.

As long as the leader can demonstrate his strength and achieve a certain degree of results during the initial period, his leadership position in this war will be very stable.

War is no joke. In situations involving life and death, people are more willing to trust a leader who has demonstrated his ability.

No one objected to Richard's self-proclaimed apprenticeship. Richard was strong enough to be a senior wizard apprentice, firmly at the top of the pyramid among this group of apprentices.

"Since everyone has no objection, I will set the rules."

Richard used levitation to fly into the air, trying to make himself visible to all the apprentices.

"This is a war, and on the battlefield, orders must be obeyed. I will not let you carry out a mission that will lead to your death, but since it is a war, there will naturally be danger. I hope that my orders can be carried out and not rejected.

I hate being rejected!"

As he spoke, Richard displayed the power of a senior wizard apprentice.

"There is nothing in the academy's rules that forbids us from fighting. If someone breaks the rules, hmph!"

Richard snorted coldly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no apprentice stood up to object, Richard returned to the ground.

To be honest, Richard really hopes that someone will come along to trouble him and establish his authority.

But unfortunately, the apprentices of the Black Tower Wizarding Academy are all smart people, and no one will slap Richard in the face at this time.

After coming down, Richard did not give any orders, but chose to release Muni and prepare to scout the movements of the white wizard's apprentice.

With the help of Muni's vision, Richard easily saw a group of white wizard apprentices rushing towards them.

"You're just getting started. How disrespectful of me."

Richard sighed and issued his first order.

"Prepare for defense! The White Wizard Apprentice is coming!"
