The Skylark-class starships are heading towards predetermined coordinates.

The Shadowcity Otherworldly Frontier team has finally completed the Pioneer and material collection before the deadline.

The wizards return to their starships and prepare for their return journey.

Christina handed in the "valuable" supplies she had collected, and sat alone in a corner of the battleship, bowing her head and being silent

She had no idea that she would suddenly receive a call from the upper echelons of Shadow City to participate in this otherworldly exploration.

Rumors about this special world, Christina actually heard some before she set off.

It is said that the second disciple of the ninth-level sage under the Sage of Nostrodam, who made the prediction of a great change unseen in thousands of years, has a part of the lineage of the founding school of the Sage of Nostrodam in this special world.

This is the sage's forced afterhand after predicting that he would die out and that the school he had created would be lost.

In order to revive the genre and reappear in the world in the midst of great changes unseen in thousands of years.

Christina smelled a strong sense of conspiracy at that time.

Shadow City has discovered this special world that is said to contain a legacy, and according to common sense, it will definitely do a good job of secrecy.

How could you behave so clumsily, allowing rumors to spread?

Isn't this a deliberate attempt to provoke covetousness?

Or is the discovery of this special world a trap in itself?

Is it a hooked bait cast by a wizarding organization that wants to lure Shadowcity into the game?

Christina was puzzled, and at the same time aware of the danger involved.

If you make a mistake, you may die.

Therefore, before she set off, she hurriedly sent her daughter Galona to Link. Grande.

Hopefully, Link will see the slight friendship of his hometown, and the fact that Christina doesn't want to admit it, but must admit, that Galana has a certain research value, and take care of her.

Christina wants nothing more than her daughter to thrive.

If she could, Christina was a little greedy and hoped that her daughter would have a smooth and carefree life.

The thought of her daughter made Christina's mood even more gloomy.

I don't know that Garona is in Link. Grande's side, how are you doing now, and can you see each other again in this life?

After feeling down for a while, Christina pulled herself together and began to check her state and prepare for the battle.

This otherworldly expedition lasted for more than a month, and the whole process seemed quite absurd.

The so-called special world, there is obviously nothing special, such as the arrangement that blocks the entry of middle and high-level wizards.

The Otherworldly Pioneer Team sent by Shadow City this time was only composed of 6 first-level wizards and 6 second-level wizards.

Not to mention a sage-level wizard, I didn't even see the shadow of a third-level wizard.

Moreover, after setting off, before entering a special world, a very tiny planet, the team members were not informed of the details of the mission.

It wasn't until the Atlas Pioneer team landed on a tiny planet that the captain informed everyone of the mission goals and requirements.

When Christina heard this, she thought it was ridiculous.

They were just asked to wander around and collect what they thought was valuable.

Nothing else.

Where does this look like a serious otherworldly pioneer?

It's all intuitive, it's just out of order.

It's like the higher-ups of Shadow City, this time they just organized a group of wizards to try their luck.

bumped into it, and picked up the treasure and had fun.

If you can't hit it, it doesn't matter, and the investment is not big anyway.

Even, even if it is really a trap, it will only lose a team of 6 first-level wizards and 6 second-level wizards...... Nothing more.

All kinds of abnormalities make Christina's heart always hold tightly.

And, as far as she could observe, the other wizards in the team, including the captain, had similar thoughts to her.

Now, for example, the battleship is about to return with the team and the supplies it has gathered.

The 12 members of the Otherworldly Pioneer Team were all silently preparing for the battle.

It seemed that everyone was assuming that the team was going to be intercepted.

What the fuck is going on?

Mass hysteria?

No.

Yes, no one is stupid!

On the surface, it has been completely closed, and it is not allowed to enter or leave the University of Mesobrada.

"What the fuck are you guys doing?

Take us for fools?

Yes?

No wonder you are getting worse and worse every year!

You can't even do a little thing, if you don't fall down, who is down? ”

In the principal's office, Dean Frist pointed at Principal Leopold's nose and shouted angrily.

The sound was so loud that it resounded throughout the huge campus.

Everyone, mentors, ordinary wizards, wizard apprentices, heard it clearly.

Afterwards, soundproofing sorcery and eavesdropping rune enchantments enveloped the Headmaster's Office.

The voices in the principal's office could no longer be heard from the outside world.

But there is one thing that everyone knows now, and that is that Mesobrada University does not know what it has done, and it has provoked Revosus College again.

So much so that Dean Frist brazenly broke through the closure of Mesobrada University, forcibly came to the rector's office, and angrily denounced Rector Leopold.

For a while, all kinds of speculations arose.

The University of Mesobrada, which was supposed to be isolated from the rest of the world, became a sieve in an instant.

All kinds of rumors, all kinds of information, came out from here.

Extra! Extra!

Dean Frist of Revosoth College angrily rebuked the Rector of Mesobrada University, Leopold, for what reason?

Recount the grievances between Revossoth College and Mesobrada University.

What happened to the former hardcore allies, but now like mortal enemies? We're talking about it today.

The downfall of Mesobrada University was stabbed in the back because of Rivosoth College!

Astound! The reason for the failure of the promotion of the great sage of Soth is that the University of Mesobrada is dragging its feet!

In the principal's office.

Principal Leopold blew his beard and glared, very unhappy.

Acting is acting, there's no need to be so ruthless, right?

How will he manage his subordinates in the future?

Didn't you pretend to be deaf and dumb last time and try it?

Is this revenge back?

You're there, Forest.

What a job!

Dean Frist smiled and drank the tea soup cooked with Pu'er + tangerine peel, and tasted it deliciously.

Principal Leopold's glares were not taken seriously in the slightest.

Silence, silence is the principal's office today. (╯□╰)

After a few moments, Headmaster Leopold broke the silence and asked in a muffled voice, "Frister, what is the purpose of all these things you have been doing lately?" I can't understand it? ”

"If you don't understand it, it's right."

Dean Frist put down the teacup and said proudly, "I'm just fooling around, you know?" Even I don't know what the deep meaning of my recent arrangements is. In this way, how can others know? Guess hard. ”

Principal Leopold could sense that Frist was telling the truth.

This......

What the fuck is going on?

Is there really a game that even the layouters themselves can't figure out?

Leopold didn't believe that the scheming Frister would do something useless.

Even if it's a fool's errand, there must be a deep meaning in it.

Maybe......

Based on what he knew about Forrest, and the phrase "guess hard" in Forest's words, Principal Leopold suddenly thought of a possibility.

It's a bit outrageous, but if you think about it, there's a fucking truth to it.

Turning his head to look at Forest, Leopold was in a faint mood and didn't know how to express it.

Dean Frist was also in a state of flux at the moment.

He did not deceive Leopold.

He really didn't know what the meaning of his recent arrangement was.

In his own grandmother, the great sage of Sosi hid from everyone in the Michel district and quietly completed the promotion; His eldest brother followed closely behind, and he was also successfully promoted to the seventh-level Great Sage.

Forrest changed his tactics again.

What is to cover the hardcore ally Mesobrada University, and what is to unite with the other three top forces in the Michel District to work together to deal with the Tower of the Great Sage of Michel, all of them are thrown aside.

Lao Tzu doesn't play this set anymore.

Frist now has only one purpose, and that is to mess up the situation in the Mitchell District through constant nonsense.

Not to mention turning the world upside down, at least it will be a mess, so that all the forces have no time to take care of anything else.

In this way, the Revo Soth Academy can obtain a better environment, quietly digest this wave of improvement, and then wait for the special "stranger" Iris. Clark passes the test.

At that time, it was the time for the Revo Soth Academy, which had completed its promotion, to show its strengths.

The small Michelle district is no longer in the eyes of Rivossoth Academy.

Principal Leopold looked at Dean Forest, who did not hide his smugness in his heart, and sighed slightly.

There are many things that don't need to be explained thoroughly, and with a little hint, you can guess a rough idea.

Come to think of it, with the Mesobrada Grand Sage still not promoted to the ninth rank Grand Sage, the Revo Soth Academy must have made a breakthrough.

I just don't know if this breakthrough should be in the Great Sage of Sosi, or in the two sixth-level sages who want to be promoted to the Great Sage.

Or...... Principal Leopold instinctively didn't want to guess that possibility, and stopped his reverie in time.

Otherwise, why would Frist use this method to stir up the situation and fish in troubled waters.

Fortunately, Revosoth College still values the friendship of allies and does not leave the University of Mesobrada.

Otherwise, there is no need for Forrest to remind him in this way:

Our strategy has changed, so don't be led astray on the path you've set, and you need to hurry up and don't fall behind.

With another faint sigh, Principal Leopold picked up a cup of tea and drank it up.

I hope that the University of Mesobrada will be able to come to the bittersweet end like this tea soup.

Don't be left behind.

Otherwise, allies?

Vassals!

Starry sky.

This star field where the special world discovered by Shadowcity is located.

In addition to the starships of the Celestial Castle Academy, the starships of Shadowcity, and the starships of two other organizations are sailing in them.

Inferred from their respective routes, the targets are all the same predetermined coordinates.

If there are no accidents, the warships of the four wizarding organizations will arrive near the coordinates one after another.

At that time, a melee that uses some means, or rules, to set up will naturally break out.

The follow-up "plot" will be staged next.

Link wanted to make some surprises.

There are many people who are willing to be chess pieces, have the consciousness of chess pieces, follow the control of chess players, point where to play, and never go beyond it.

These people, excluding Link.

He has always sought freedom and does not want to be a puppet.

So this time, Link estimated from all aspects, and after finding that he had a good room for self-play, he decided to be willful and arbitrary, and do something.

As long as it does not affect the execution of the task, the academy or players who want to stand behind the scenes will not be punished.

If the law does not prohibit it, it can be done.

"Increase the speed and modify the course."

Sitting in the captain's seat, a thoughtful Link gives Taling a new command.

This order not only surprised the 11 team members, but also surprised Fletcher, who had been hidden in the shadows. Domingo's surprise.

What are you trying to do when you come out of nowhere?

"Warning! Warn! This command does not comply with the pre-set mission of this voyage. ”

Instead of immediately accepting the order, Taling issued a reminder.

In this regard, Link expected it when he saw that the battleship would automatically set off after the team arrived.

However, Link, regardless of the preset mission, gave the same order again: "Increase the speed, modify the course." ”

"Warning! ……”

Just when Taling replied to Link for the second time with a "warning".

Link jerked the brain in the captain's seat over and pressed a red button on the back.

This button, generally speaking, is basically not used.

Once used, the starship will be suspended for a long time.

For example, now, the lights, facilities, equipment, and engines inside the "Skylark"-class starships have all been suddenly shut down.

Even the starship itself, after the engine suddenly turned off, lost power and gradually slowed down.

Link actually directly activated the emergency measures, and with the authority of the captain, he manually unloaded the starship's Taling!

Makes you talk a lot of.

Moments later, the starship's emergency measures were successfully activated.

Alternate Taling goes online and takes over the ship.

One by one, the lights were lit one after another, and various facilities and equipment resumed operation.

The engine restarts, sending out thrust and increasing the speed of the ship.

The brain screen on the console where the 11 team members were located, the brain screen in front of Link, and the huge main screen in front of the cockpit lit up at the same time.

A piece of data and instructions swipes the screen like a waterfall.

Link's operation didn't end there.

He flipped his fingers with both hands, and output one command after another on the screen of the brain that had just lit up.

At the same time, Link also directly took over the highest authority of the standby tower spirit in the form of brain-computer link, and continued to "flash the machine".

All the pre-settings made by the academy, controlling the back hand, were in turn clear by Link.

The full authority of the starship, even the bathroom flush, was personally received by Link, leaving no omission.

The 11 team members did not get Link's prompt, encountered a mutation, and even if they had an opinion in their hearts, no one jumped out at this time and questioned Link's operation.

Fletcher. Sage Domingo made it very clear that during the mission, everything was up to Link. Grande's command.

Captain Link. Grande also gave them a chance to express their thoughts.

A fifth-level sage leader, a captain whose combat power is comparable to that of a third-level wizard, although neither of them gave a threat, but the potential meaning is very clear.

No matter what you want to say, Lao Tzu gives you a chance before you can say it; Didn't give it, don't talk nonsense.

Otherwise, be careful that Lao Tzu kills you.

That's pretty much what it means.

In a short time, under the watchful eyes of 11 team members with different thoughts, Link completed the four steps he had planned:

Uninstall the Towering, activate the Alternate Towering, "refresh" the Alternate Towering, and take over all the rights of the ship.

In this way, Link really grasped the control of this "Skylark"-class starship, and only then did he become a real captain.

Not a puppet with the name of a captain but no power as a captain.

All the preset programs of the academy were all abandoned, and it was no longer possible to remotely control this "Skylark"-class starship.

These are all the knowledge and methods that Link learned in the process of learning alchemy and refining the brood battleship.

As soon as it was used, it won the initiative for Link.

Knowledge changes destiny.

After manually entering the new sailing speed, route, and target, Link's hands and eyes were removed from the brain screen, and he looked at the 11 team members and looked at them one by one.

After a moment, Link asked in a deep voice, "Does anyone have any doubts?" Say whatever you want, and I will answer what I can. ”

Lanie. Taylor was the first to stand up, looked at the other team members, and said, "I think the captain can tell us honestly if he has any ideas about this mission." Communicate well in advance, and when you encounter something, you can use your strength in one place, instead of being scattered and ununited. ”

"Hmm. Good advice. ”

Link nodded, "Do you think so too?" ”

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

Voices of agreement rang out one after another.

The remaining 10 team members, whether they were Level 1 wizards or Level 2 wizards, all reviewed Lannie's opinion.

"I don't have an idea."

Facing all the eyes, Link said calmly, "So far, I don't have any ideas about the mission itself. Because the situation is unknown. ”

After a pause, Link asked rhetorically, "Do any of you know the background and purpose of this mission?" ”

No one answered.

The Academy Call-up is different from the Individual Call-up.

The former is mandatory, up to 2 times a year, and the latter is a two-way option.

A team of 12 people, with the exception of Link, who was both drafted by the academy and Fletcher. Domingo was recruited by the Sage, and everyone else was recruited by the Academy.

Therefore, even if the task description is not clear, everyone has no choice but to bite the bullet.

After getting on the battleship, I finally got the details of the mission assigned by Link.

After reading it, I also found that there is not much useful information in it.

And there are some ridiculous limitations.

For example, you can't be too ruthless and not hurt the life of a wizard in Shadow City.

It's fucking outrageous.

To engage in a sneak attack, you still have to tie your hands and feet, and you can't easily hurt people.

What if the other party is ruthless and he is killed back?

There's no place to cry.

Therefore, Link, as the captain, dared to resist the pressure and "violate" the original intention of the academy to do something.

These team members are very supportive, regardless of whether these things can work or not.

But they really don't know the background and purpose of the mission, so they can only keep silent.

"Don't know, do you?"

Link waited for a while, and when he saw that no one was talking, he smiled, "I don't know either!" ”

Needless to say, everyone else understood what Link meant.

Since the academy is vague and has not explained it clearly, they can naturally adapt to the situation according to the situation.

Anyway, the premise of completing the task is to protect yourself.

Secretly unified the thoughts of the whole team and reached a tacit understanding between each other, Link only then began to officially perform the duties of the captain, presiding over the mutual introduction of the team members, division of labor, tactical formulation, and plan rehearsal.

Three days of sailing, one day of preparation, and four days are enough time to combine a makeshift patchwork team to form a combat force.

This is the greatest characteristic of the wizards cultivated by the Rivossoth Academy.

Two and a half days passed quickly.

The Skylark-class starships arrived at their new destination half a day ahead of schedule after a jump march.

This is a meteorite belt that Link specially selected according to the star map.

Link moored the starship behind the meteorite belt and activated the full-power stealth function.

Another 11 team members, divided into 6 shuttles, were scattered and hidden in various parts of the meteorite belt.

The meteorite belt is only 10 minutes away from the original coordinates of the college, at the fastest speed of the shuttle.

Whether it is advancing or retreating, fighting or retreating, it is very convenient.

After making these preparations, Link was alone, didn't take anything, directly activated the natal witchcraft, put on the stealth armor of the interstellar life support mode, and lurked towards the original coordinates of the academy.

"Flandor."

At the same time, Link had a call in his heart.

"Yes, sir."

Flandor answered sweetly, and came out of the "small world", using Link as the center of the circle, to explore the surroundings.

After the fourth evolution of the "small world" was truly completed, Flando's ability to transform the virtual and the real has improved.

Link had experimented that even the reconnaissance system of the Sage-class Legion's Starfleet main-class battleship operating at full power would not be able to detect the hidden Flandor in a short period of time.

Therefore, the current Flandall as a scout could not be more suitable.

The two of them searched and marched, constantly approaching the original coordinates of the academy.

Hidden in the shadows, Fletcher, who has been following the team. Domingo Sage, some of you don't understand the meaning of Link's arrangement.

As a captain, but leaving the team behind and acting alone, what do you want to do?

What does Link want to do?

He just wanted to use his superior combat power, high mobility, and flexible Flandor to summon in the opposite direction, and first do a close reconnaissance to find out which forces would be involved in this incident.

If you have the chance, try to see if you can steal that batch of supplies quietly.

If you really can't do it, you still need to grab hard, but you can also know yourself and know your opponent, calmly choose tactics, and command the battle.

"Sir, sir, what do you see Flandor finding?"

Flando's slightly excited voice rang out in Link's heart.

Before the words fell, Flandor had already taken the initiative to share her vision.

I saw a familiar main ship, which appeared in Link's "eyes".

It was the main ship of the three-point wizard Wiener, which had been stabbed in the ass by Link.

"The Flame and Metal Trading Company has arrived, will the White Tower Alliance be far away? Will Mesobrada University come? ”

Link hesitated, telling Flandor to ignore the main ship for the time being and continue to expand the reconnaissance range.

He himself has also increased his stealth strength, and he is more careful when he travels.

After a while, Flandor found a strange warship belonging to the White Tower Alliance in another suitable place to hide.

After continuing to search for a while, there was no trace of the battleship of the University of Mesobrada.

I don't know if it hasn't arrived yet, or if it's not involved.

Link ignored it for the time being, and carefully recalled the original coordinates of the Academy, the respective positions of the Flame and Metal Trading Company battleship, and the White Tower Alliance battleship.

It was found that the three battleships were above a semi-circular arc, blocking the three directions of 12 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 6 o'clock.

In other words, the three battleships joined forces and laid a pocket array.

Wait for the Shadow City Otherworldly Pioneer Team to take the initiative to send it to the door.

Then take a bite! (End of chapter)
