Wizard: I can refine all things.

Chapter 88 The Apprentice War (Part Six)

"Hiss!"

Anderson and Aldo gasped instantly.

With an exchange ratio of nearly one to forty, are all the apprentices at Black Tower Wizarding Academy monsters?

"One to forty!?"

Anderson and Aldo exclaimed simultaneously; the number was so outrageous that their minds couldn't quite process it.

"Something's not right!" Aldo was the first to react. "The White Wizard's abilities are questionable!"

Richard smiled nonchalantly, offering no further explanation.

"How could the White Wizard be so weak?" Anderson realized this at this moment, his tone filled with uncertainty.

"The White Wizard Academy focuses on training legions, while the Black Wizard Academy focuses on cultivating individual strength. Logically, White Wizards should have an advantage, so how come they are... so weak?"

Richard shook his head. Anderson had the exact same idea as him at first. Who would have thought the White Wizard would be so incompetent?

"Although the White Wizards focus on training their legions, their training is too gentle and they haven't experienced real combat," Richard explained. "Simply put, this group is very theoretical but lacks combat experience, and they will panic when faced with unexpected events."

When we dealt with them, we only gave them a slight nudge, and they fled in disarray.

"That bad?" Aldo was somewhat incredulous.

If the White Wizards are really as bad as Richard says, then how did they become the mainstream wizards in the wizarding world who conquered other worlds?

"Believe it or not," Richard shrugged nonchalantly. He told the two men the news simply because they were all on the same side, allies. And allies with the same goal.

"I'm telling the truth. The exchange ratios are right there; the number of students in the three colleges is about the same. You can go outside and count them yourself."

Aldo and Anderson were silent for a moment, then finally thanked Richard.

Richard's willingness to share intelligence is undoubtedly a good thing.

"What do you two plan to do next? Press your advantage?" Richard asked curiously.

"Hmm? The Black Tower Wizarding Academy isn't planning to make a move?" Anderson frowned, wondering if Richard was lying.

If the White Wizard is truly as useless as he claims, then they have no reason not to pursue him.

"Yes, our Black Tower Wizarding Academy doesn't plan to pursue them." Richard nodded. "We have some internal problems right now. I just dealt with a troublemaker, and we need to reorganize things."

Anderson recalled the scene he witnessed when he first arrived.

"So there's a power struggle going on?" Anderson thought to himself.

At first glance, he thought Richard was fighting one-on-one with a powerful white wizard.

"Besides that, I have another piece of advice for you two," Richard said calmly. "The number of white wizards we fought is not right. Some of them didn't come to fight, presumably preparing defenses at the resource point. If you two want to pursue them, you'd better strike as soon as possible."

If we act too late, and they build up their defenses, the losses will be enormous.

Upon hearing this, Aldo and Anderson immediately got up to take their leave.

"In that case, we'll leave your Black Tower Wizarding Academy in peace." Aldor stood up and said, "Since this resource point was captured by your Black Tower Wizarding Academy, our Annihilation Wizarding Academy won't interfere, but your original resource point..."

Anderson then looked at Richard, thinking that it was a bit much for one academy to occupy two resource points.

"How about each of the three families takes one-third?" Richard said casually. "We're all on the same side, so resource sharing is only natural."

Anderson and Aldo were somewhat surprised; they hadn't expected Richard to agree to something so readily.

"However, I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Anderson asked.

"I'd like to borrow your two alchemy apprentices for a while," Richard said with a smile. "I think this camp built by the white wizard is quite nice; I plan to repair it."

"Build a camp?"

The two apprentice leaders immediately became somewhat puzzled.

"Repairing the camp... Does the Black Tower Wizarding Academy think we'll be defeated?" Aldor said in a deep voice. "Or is there something wrong with the information you gave us?"

Richard waved his hand: "I swear by the sea of ​​souls, there is not a single falsehood in the news I have told you."

"But I'm a cautious person by nature. If you two are defeated, it'll be good to have a fortress here to defend, won't it?"

After saying that, Richard winked playfully.

Anderson and Aldo exchanged a glance. Their doubts did not dissipate because of Richard's explanation; on the contrary, they increased.

This is also a drawback of black wizards.

They find it difficult to trust others.

However, determining the strength of the white wizard apprentices is something both academies need to do right now, and since the three academies don't have any conflict of interest, Richard has no reason to lie to them.

Therefore, both academies ultimately chose to pursue the white wizard apprentice.

The Annihilation Wizarding Academy and the Void Wizarding Academy left Richard with a total of thirty alchemy apprentices. These apprentices were not very strong, and they survived the bloody exam purely by luck.

Their current situation of being left with Richard proves once again that they are lucky.

"How stingy! They only kept thirty apprentices."

Richard clicked his tongue and then arranged for the thirty apprentices to work together with the apprentices from the Black Tower Wizarding Academy to build protective measures.

Although the information he gave Anderson and Aldo was absolutely true, he had a suspicion in his mind that he didn't tell them.

White wizard apprentices can grow at an unusually fast pace.

This guess came from Richard's intuition.

The White Wizards reduced their losses in two battles fought only a few hours apart. If they fought more battles, these apprentices in the ivory tower would grow up quickly.

At that time, the numerical advantage of the White Wizards will be greatly utilized.

But these are just Richard's guesses.

Under normal circumstances, the Annihilation Wizard Academy and the Void Wizard Academy are equivalent to two-thirds of the Dark Wizard faction's combat strength, so taking down a resource point that has just suffered a defeat should be a piece of cake.

Even if the White Wizards provide support, they can still retreat.

The worst-case scenario is that the dark wizards suffer a crushing defeat, but this is highly unlikely.

Following the traces left by the White Wizard, Richard and several alchemy apprentices discussed the construction of the camp.

First, there's the city wall. The foundation of the wall, made by the White Wizard, can still be found in the camp. Judging from the foundation, the wall is incredibly thick, but not very high.

Richard speculated that the main purpose of the wall was to raise the wizard apprentices' field of vision and incidentally deplete some of the magic power of the opposing apprentices.

After all, maintaining levitation requires magic.

Secondly, there were traps outside the city walls.

Richard's idea was that magic circles should ideally be manually activated and set up a certain distance from the camp, while warning magic circles could be placed near the camp.

The necromancer's pathfinder puppets would easily eliminate those that triggered the puppets, and Richard was prepared for the dark wizard to suffer a defeat.

If you turn it into a trigger trap and end up trapping your own people, you'll make a fool of yourself.

Secondly, wizards can fly, especially after Richard and his men have built the walls. The white wizards will definitely not attack by land.

There are magic circles that can detect flight, but those are things only wizards can use. These apprentices should stick to setting them up on the ground.

Once these two points were confirmed, the rest were just details. After Richard and his apprentices finished their discussions, construction began.
