If the lightning clan's third squad was weakened, Wizard Beecham would be able to take advantage of it. Normally, no one would be able to say anything about it.
Everyone was doing the same thing, but Wizard Beecham purposely delayed his arrival. He didn't want to fight against a powerful Holy Knight who could destroy a teleportation circle in the hands of the lightning clan.
Now, he was scared. A few advanced light gems were precious, but he didn't have the support of wizards behind him. On top of that, WIzard Hogg's performance made him lose his greed.
Because of what just happened, the new wizards were not on good terms with the wizards of the third squad. Although they didn't do much, the Wizard Union would still reward them accordingly.
The new member of the third squad, Abel, also caught the attention of the wizards. A few of them gave Abel a thoughtful look.
Wizard Beecham's chubby face was still full of smiles as he bowed and said, "Wizard Hogg, there's nothing for us to do here. We'll take our leave now!"
Without waiting for WIzard Hogg's response, he ignited a "move in a flash" and disappeared from the spot. The other wizards also said their goodbyes and left as well.
Wizard Frank spat in the direction they left and cursed, "Pooh, those disgusting bastards!"
Abel could see that the lightning clan wizards were not on good terms with the other wizards. It was almost like there was a natural conflict between them.
Vice-captain Wizard Lamo whispered to Abel, "Did you see that, Wizard Abel? The lightning clan has almost all the lightning wizards in the Central Continent, so we're almost independent. We can't compare to the number of ice and fire wizards. They're afraid of us, so they're keeping their distance!"
Abel asked in confusion, "Vice-captain, I don't understand. We're all wizards. Why are they keeping their distance from us?"
Wizard Lamo smiled, "Because we're too powerful. Other than the elite evil Knight, our lightning spells will suppress all other professions!"
Wizard Hogg laughed, "Don't listen to him, Wizard Abel. The lightning clan has allies too. They are all powerful allies!"
Since the camp was destroyed, the wizards in squad 3 could only start setting up their tents. Luckily, Abel had purposely protected the base of the defensive circle, so it wasn't damaged too much. Although the wooden house was damaged, the base was still intact.
Therefore, the defensive formation of the camp could still be set up, which made the third squad a little safer.
The team didn't relax just because they defeated the Advanced Holy Knight team. Instead, they strengthened their defenses even more. The entire team was divided into two groups, and they would switch guards every 12 hours.
No elite wizards wanted to meditate. No one wanted to be attacked while meditating. Not everyone was as lucky as Abel.
The night was very safe, and there were no more attacks. However, none of the elite wizards in the team could rest. Without a teleportation circle, they were still in a very dangerous situation.
All the elite wizards on the spot knew that the Evil Kingdom would definitely come for revenge after such a huge loss, and it would be a crazy revenge.
The next day, before dawn, the Evil Kingdom's revenge had yet to come, but the lightning clan's reinforcements had arrived. This time, 2 teams of wizards came at once. It was squad 4 and squad 5, which had just left.
"Wizard Hogg, I heard you guys had a great battle. I'm so jealous. If we had come back a day later, we would've been the ones to fight this battle!" Said the captain of squad 5, Wizard Angus, with a smile on his face and did a wizard bow to Wizard Hogg.
"Wizard Angus, it wasn't a good experience. It was all luck!" Wizard Hogg smiled and replied with a wizard bow.
Wizard Angus looked around and said, "Wizard Hogg, we also brought a magic circle maker with us this time to fix the teleportation circle. This place is too damaged. What did you use to destroy it?"
Wizard Hogg did not answer directly, "We can't kill an elite Holy Knight without this kind of power!"
"Wizard Evans, now I have time to compete with you to see who can dig out more gems!" Said the rank 19 wizard of squad 5, Haywood, with a big laugh.
Wizard Evans looked at him strangely. He didn't know what to say.
"Wizard Haywood, go stand guard!" As the captain of the fifth squad, Wizard Angus knew a little bit about this, but it was all a secret. Therefore, he yelled at Wizard Haywood.
"Wizard Hogg, find a place. I have news from the organization!" Said the captain of squad 4, Wizard Creamer, in a deep voice.
There were only 2 buildings that were still standing. One was the wooden house where the magic circle was set up, and the other was the one Abel protected with a protection circle. A top-level gem was used as a power source, and that wooden house was miraculously preserved.
Therefore, Wizard Hogg, Wizard Creamer, and Wizard Angus all walked in. Wizard Hogg, Wizard Creamer, and Wizard Angus walked in.
Abel didn't know what they were talking about. Yesterday's accident had made him give up on the idea of meditating in the wild. He almost got into an accident even with the help of a team of elite wizards, so he was on alert.
He could use the time difference between the Dark World and the Dark World to meditate more than normal wizards, so he didn't mind meditating once or twice.
With the addition of 2 more wizard teams, the place became very lively. It was rare for the 3 teams to work together, so the elite wizards began to laugh and chat.
The magic circle maker on the side was focused on fixing the damaged teleportation circle. He had a lot of work to do. Not only did he need to fix the teleportation circle, but he also needed to fix the small protection circle outside the teleportation circle.
Since the teleportation circle was destroyed, the connection between team 3 and the lightning clan was cut off. Wizard Hogg left the camp last night and went to the nearest city to contact the higher-ups of the lightning clan to report the result of the battle.
Therefore, the lightning clan sent 2 teams to help with the defense today. They wanted to ambush the Holy Knight who came for revenge.
Abel didn't join in the conversation. Most of them were rank seventeen wizards, so he wasn't familiar with them, and there was a level gap between them.
He took out a book and began to read. After a while, the 3 captains walked out of the wooden house.
"Team 3, come here!" Wizard Hogg yelled.
The wizards of team 3 stopped chatting and walked towards WIzard Hogg. Abel also put away his book and walked towards WIzard Hogg.
Wizard Hogg casually threw down a barrier circle and raised an invisible barrier around team 3.
"Everyone, I just received an order from the higher-ups. They want us to keep the news that the mining of the mana gem mine is finished. Did any of you tell anyone?" Wizard Hogg lowered his voice.
He then turned his gaze towards Wizard Frank. Although he didn't say anything, the other elite wizards in the team began to laugh.
"Captain, I didn't!" Wizard Frank yelled and mumbled, "I didn't even have time to say anything, and they already gathered!"
"There is no more mana gem mine here, but it can still attract the attention of the Evil Kingdom. Even if they successfully take over this place, they won't get any resources. Therefore, no one is allowed to talk about this!" Wizard Hogg lowered his voice and lowered his gaze.
"Wizard Abel, don't use your contracted beast Johnson's mining ability again. It will attract too much attention and put you in danger!" Wizard Hogg looked towards Abel and said.
"Yes, captain!" Abel nodded.
To the Lightning clan, a contracted beast that could mine mana gems for a short period of time was very important, but it was not as important as having a genius wizard who had a high chance of becoming a law-defying wizard.
Mana gems could be mined slowly, but law-defying wizards were hard to train. Every wizard who could become an elite wizard was an absolute genius. Almost every elite wizard had their own special encounters.
However, there were very few elite wizards who had the potential to become law-defying wizards. No matter which organization, law-defying wizards were their trump card and the core of their power. In this case, Abel's max level lightning talent was very precious.
"The organization has sent two teams of wizards here. It is very secretive. Don't let this news get out. According to the organization, the Evil Kingdom is going crazy for revenge. If they dare to come, our 3 teams will be the ones waiting for them!" Wizard Hogg looked towards the wizards and said again.
That night, the magic circle maker did not rest. A few illumination circles were lit up the whole time. When Abel came out of his tent in the morning, the magic circle maker had already left. All the broken circles were fixed overnight.
Abel saw Wizard Hogg with the 2 captains, and his face suddenly changed. He let go of the wizard badge in his hand and yelled, "Wizard Creamer, Wizard Angus, the Wizard Union has notified me that the tenth mission point has been attacked. The teleportation circle has also been destroyed. They want us to go and help!"
"Wizard Hogg, you go with the team. Wizard Angus and I will stay here!" Wizard Creamer lowered his voice.
"Captain, let's not rush. The tenth mission point is guarded by Wizard Beecham's team. It's good that a guy like that was killed!" Wizard Frank said unwillingly.
"Shut up," Wizard Hogg lowered his voice, "The Evil Kingdom is the public enemy of the entire continent. The Lightning clan will not compromise on the orders of the Wizard Union. I don't care what Wizard Beecham did, but the third team will go as soon as we receive the order!"
The entire third team no longer had any objections. Under Wizard Hogg's lead, they flashed out of the camp and left the range of the protection circle.
"What are the Evil Kingdom thinking? I remember the tenth mission point was a fire gem mine. Why are they interested in that place?" Although they were flashing, the experienced wizards could still communicate with each other through the interval between flashes. Wizard Lamo used his power of the will to pass his thoughts to the other wizards.
"Maybe it's revenge on us. Maybe they thought we had a trap in our camp, so they chose another mission point for revenge?" Wizard Harold took over the conversation and sent a message in between flashes.
"I don't know if Wizard Beecham can hold on until we get here. He might get killed before we get here!" Wizard Frank began to say weird things again, but Wizard Hogg just ignored him. There were no other teams around, so it was fine to let them vent their anger, as long as it didn't affect the rescue.
"Not good, I'm afraid we're too late!" Wizard Hogg sent a message through the power of the will.
Abel looked forward. In the valley in front of them, 2 beams of soul light shot up into the sky. It meant 2 elite wizards had died.
The members of the squad no longer used their spiritual energy to converse. Instead, they increased the speed of their 'instantaneous movement' and soon arrived outside the camp.
"Wizard Abel, you still need to summon Johnson later. Don't get involved with us!" Wizard Hogg reminded Abel.
"Yes, captain!" Abel nodded.
He knew he was not a powerful wizard, so he couldn't coordinate with the team. He could only rely on Johnson's power to help the team.
This camp was similar to the one the third team was guarding. It was also full of wooden houses, but there was no fighting in the camp. All the wooden houses were in ruins.
Apart from the two 'soul lights' in the wooden house, there were no wizards or holy knights.
On the other side, the entrance to the mine was also destroyed. It could be seen that this was a typical revenge. It was just to vent their anger.
Wizard Hogg lowered his voice as he looked at the soul beam, "All wizards, take a rest. Wizard Lamo, go and see who's dead!" His face turned ugly.
Wizard Lamo disappeared and reappeared where the soul light was. Soon, he disappeared again and reappeared where the second soul fire was.
"Captain, a rank 17 wizard and a rank 18 wizard. Wizard Beecham's team escaped!" Wizard Lamo flashed back to WIzard Hogg.
