Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The past year has been anything but peaceful, both inside and outside the academy, with the shadow of war looming ever larger.

Led by the "Grip of Order" and the "Holy Flame Judgment Academy," a massive coalition of twelve powerful academies invaded the territory of the Bone Spire.

It's important to know that the entire wizarding world only has about twenty top wizarding forces, as well as hundreds of scattered general forces and countless small families and forces.

Those forces centered around families are destined to never become truly powerful.

Wizards don't talk about bloodline inheritance, especially those who reach the level of holy marks, whose bodies are governed by rules and cannot leave behind any bloodline.

If a family has no descendants with wizarding talent and does not absorb outsiders to integrate into it, then it is destined to decline.

If a family recruits powerful and talented outsiders, the situation will inevitably become one of weaker members and stronger members over time, and the family's fate will be uncertain.

Of course, if the host family has a towering pillar supporting them, that's a different story.

In addition to "The Grasp of Order" and "Holy Flame Judgment Academy", the participating teams this time include "High Tower Academy", "Star Observatory", "Lilith's Hut", "Shadow Embrace", "Whispering Dreamland", "Grey Tower", and "Crimson Hall".

And the three major factions representing the sky, the earth, and the sea: the "Throne of Storms," ​​the "Pulse of the Earth," and the "Silent Abyss."

With nearly half of the top forces joining forces to attack the Bone Spire Academy, the pressure was immense.

Despite the pressure from the multi-academy coalition, the Bone Spire never bowed its head.

The war eventually broke out.

The border planes continued to fall, and the undead army suffered heavy losses.

However, when the allied forces attacked the core demiplane of the Bone Spire, they also suffered heavy losses in the face of countless wizard towers, seas of undead, and terrifying defensive structures, with countless knight legions and alien servants dying.

Overall, however, the Bone Spire Academy remains at a disadvantage.

Of course, the various colleges did not intend to completely eliminate them, but rather to gradually pressure them and force them to submit.

As long as you can give everyone a satisfactory compensation, we can still be loving relatives, friends, and brothers and sisters who are on good terms with each other!

After all, the Bone Spire is one of the main forces fighting against the Endless Abyss, and the "Corridor of the Dead" is a notorious demon-reaping zone.

But the Bone Spire didn't see it that way. In the eyes of its higher-ups, the Academy Alliance was going too far and wanted to gradually erode and occupy all of the Bone Spire's territory.

How can I tolerate this?

We have to get that done!

Therefore, the Bone Spire prepared to gather all its forces and fight the academy's allied forces to the death.

Even the "Negras" in the Bone-Eroding Starfield and other wizards stationed on the front lines received a recall order from the Bone Spire Academy to withdraw this elite force.

Even the True Spirit Wizard couldn't sit still anymore.

How could a small conflict between your colleges possibly undermine the very foundation of the entire wizarding world?

Today the Bone Spire has withdrawn, tomorrow the Order of the Grips will withdraw, and the day after tomorrow will everyone pack up and leave?

Then what's the point of guarding this Bone-Corroding Starfield?

Let the Abyss army just enter the Wizarding World. The survival of each academy will depend on its own abilities. At worst, we'll all kick the bucket together!

Under the powerful intervention of the great True Spirit Wizard, the elite troops of the Bone Spire at the front line could only continue to hold their posts.

Tsk... As dark wizards, they abandoned their own academies for the safety of the wizarding world; they truly sacrificed their own families for the greater good.

Shouldn't they be given a proper commendation?

...

Just when Lynn thought he could continue to hide in the laboratory until he was promoted to a full-fledged wizard...

A cold, mandatory war order entered his mind directly through the Soul Gold Nameplate.

Under the intervention of the True Spirit Wizard, the major academies finally reached a compromise.

To reduce further unnecessary losses of high-level combat power (formal wizards and above), the scale of the war will be suppressed to below the "wizard level".

Since this matter arose from the recruitment of apprentices, let it end with a competition between the apprentices.

Subsequent conflicts will primarily involve a contest between the wizard apprentices and servants of both sides, with the victor gaining more bargaining power and a better share of the spoils in negotiations.

This is important to both sides; the Academy Alliance demands compensation from the Bone Spire.

Not only the damage caused to other colleges by privately recruiting apprentices, but also the losses caused during the war need to be compensated.

The Bone Spire was also furious, as several important planes under its control were still under the control of the Allied Forces and it had to reclaim them.

In response to this rule, the Bone Spire urgently recruited all registered third-class apprentices, as well as some second-class apprentices with outstanding combat records and recognized strength, to form a new "Apprentice Legion" and send them to the designated front-line area.

Lynn's name was prominently listed.

In the dim light of the laboratory, Lynn held the slightly warm Soul Gold Nameplate, staring at the gathering time and coordinates that appeared on it, and remained silent for a long time.

He had a million curses inside him, but didn't know how to express them.

Is the world targeting me?

If I had just a little more time, I could have broken through to become a full-fledged wizard...

This is what happened!

Fortunately, he wasn't recruited to be a "fill-in-the-blank" student. He believes that with his current skills, he can easily stand out among the apprentices!

Hmm... we can't be too arrogant, after all, we're on the battlefield, and who knows what tricks the enemy has up their sleeve.

To incentivize their apprentices, the academy not only offered a high amount of "kill contribution points" but also allocated a large amount of resources as rewards.

This did offer some solace to Lynn.

I've almost used up all my magic stones, so I might as well go out and make some quick money.

With the battlefield looming, Lynn was a little excited.

Having only seen war scenes on television in my previous life, how could I not be excited to experience them firsthand, especially on an extraordinary battlefield?

What? The brutality of the battlefield?

How cruel is it?

All I saw was "materials" everywhere...

With some time still remaining, Lynn's first task was to thoroughly inventory her assets.

All the precious knowledge crystals, research notes, and rare materials were categorized and stored deep within the skeletal ring.

The small stone was removed from the shoulder and placed into a specially made soft inner bag filled with earth crystal powder.

Ignoring its displeasure, he placed it in the inner pocket of his wizard's robe and carried it there.

There's no time to take care of it on the battlefield, so let's keep it for now.

The Mist Spirit was then placed in the Phase Soul Lamp for nurturing, where the environment was more suitable for its growth.

Then, with the help of [Analysis], he spent half a day giving all his core undead a pre-battle rest and recharge, ensuring they were in peak condition.

After all, they've been idle for a year, and their bodies are practically rusting.

In the remaining time, Lynn used the materials he purchased to refine a large number of potions and powders, which were stored in the Bone Ring.

Healing, energy, detoxification, clarity, invisibility...

They stopped working only when they ran out of materials.
