BECOMING A WIZARD BY STARTING FROM THE MIND CLOSURE TECHNIQUE

Chapter 674: Chapter 189: Another Twist? _2

Was Sage Fletcher Domingo just for show?

He came from a large family at the headquarters of the college. He had once thought of uniting some people to teach Link, who was attracting a lot of attention, a lesson.

Later, due to pressure from his family, he gave up on this idea.

But he still harbored some resentment towards Link in his heart.

If anyone in the team was eager to snatch the Saint’s heritage, he could be counted as one.

If for nothing else, just to see what the Saint’s Legacy was all about.

Whether the mission succeeded or failed did not affect him much.

For a while, he had seen that Link Grande was considering everything properly and was very keen to complete the mission, so he suppressed his resentment and cooperated actively.

Who would’ve thought that Link would play such a trick?

This made him quite unhappy, feeling as though his IQ was insulted.

Lanny Taylor ignored him. According to the prompts on the smart screen, she manually inputted operational instructions, slowly altering the direction of the “Lark” class interstellar battleship, trailing far behind the warship of the Shadow City Outlander Colonization Team.

In fact, Lanny had only told half of what Link had left on the smart screen.

Link’s plan was to first remind the Outlander Colonization Team of Shadow City, that there was an ambush ahead by passing them closely.

Then, like Lanny had just operated, he would alter the direction of the battleship, distantly following behind the Shadow City warship.

Once this was completed, the team could decide how to proceed based on the situation—whether to enter the battlefield, when to enter, and how to enter.

The reason why Lanny would put all the responsibility on Link was also part of his own arrangement.

The original intention was to bear the resentment and accusations of the team members for Lanny, without impacting her command.

To tell the truth, Lanny was not very clear why Link wanted to execute this operation.

As one team member said, even if there was another plan, he could have simply spoken up.

There was no need to be so secretive and convoluted.

Amid the confusion, Lanny continued to steer the “Lark” class interstellar warship, following behind the Shadow City team.

For the five members of the team, after the uproar, they weren’t too interested in controlling the battleship anymore.

After all, at critical times, control of the console would be taken back by the Warship Tower Spirit.

What was the point in pretending to operate it then?

They might as well just give up.

Inside the battleship of the Shadow City Outlander Colonization Team…

“Captain, what’s going on?”

“They neither stop us nor attack us, but just follow us like this, what does this mean?”

“Should we fire a shot at them?”

“They’re so far away, firing a shot wouldn’t do anything.”

“Better send them a communication request and simply ask them directly.”

“I agree, let’s clear up the situation before we discuss anything else.”

“…”

When they noticed the “Lark” class interstellar battleship from Ravensmouth College in the distance, the Shadow City Colonization Team had already prepared for a possible encounter.

Who would have thought that the other side did not fire a single shot but just rushed straight past and then turned around to trail far behind them?

This move really puzzled the wizards of the Shadow City Colonization Team, leading to heated discussions.

The captain was also equally baffled.

After careful consideration, the captain decided to follow one team member’s advice and send a communication request to the Ravensmouth College battleship trailing behind.

If they couldn’t figure it out, then they may as well ask directly.

Soon, the video communication was connected.

The figures of the captains/acting captains appeared on the large main screens of both warships.

“What is the purpose of your operation?”

The captain of the Shadow City Outlander Colonization Team promptly asked, “What does following us mean?”

Lanny responded according to Link’s arrangement, “The college issued a sniping mission, asking us to seize the resources you have excavated. But, the team leader of the sniping team doesn’t want to follow the college’s instructions. He would rather fail the mission than be involved in the trouble related to the Saint’s Heritage.”

Upon hearing this, the captain of the Shadow City team fell silent for a moment.

The Outlander Colonization Team, including him, had 12 wizards, all of whom were prepared for battle.

However, this didn’t mean that everyone understood what the so-called Saint’s Heritage really meant.

The captain was a smart man who was aware of the various worries hidden behind the Heritage.

If he could, he would also not want to mess with this big problem, and prefer to stay far away from it.

Regrettably, the captain had little influence, and was unable to defy orders, having to comply with the arrangements of the higher-ups.

Because he understood all this, the Captain had long been mentally prepared for other wizard organizations to plunder the materials his team had excavated.

He used various methods to send obvious or subtle reminders to his team members.

He heightened the vigilance of the team to the extreme, ensuring that every member was ready for battle.

That was the limit of what the Captain could do.

And indeed…

Other wizard organizations did indeed send teams to snatch the materials, such as Ravensmouth College.

But the situation unfolded somewhat differently than the Captain had envisioned.

Surprisingly, there were reasonable people in the team sent by Ravensmouth College who, rather than comply with the orders of the higher-ups, preferred not to get into trouble.

This courage was admirable!

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his emotions, the captain of Shadow City said in a low voice, “Speak your true intentions, don’t think about fooling me.”

Lanny responded earnestly, “We have no other intentions, we just want to appease the College. When we return, we have something to report so that it doesn’t seem like we’ve done nothing.”

But the captain of Shadow City was not to be easily fooled.

He simply drew a line in the sand: “I give you two choices. Either I turn around and fight you now, or you stop following us and choose another path.”

Lanny’s face showed a troubled expression, “We only want to appease the College, we really have no intention against you. Why…”

“No need to explain, just make a choice.”

The captain of Shadow City cut off Lanny coldly, and then stopped talking.

His attitude was clear, his position firm.

Either fight or leave, choose one.

The Captain was convinced that if the other party only wanted to appease, they would certainly choose to leave, not fight.

Seeing this, Lanny had to reduce the speed of the warship, gradually widen the distance, and lower the captain of Shadow City’s guard.

After completing this operation, Lanny kindly reminded him:

“Oh, by the way. When we came over, we found two warships from the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance lurking on your main route, ready to launch a pincer attack.

Another warship from the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell has arrived, extremely aggressive, broadcasting threats and clearing the area as soon as it arrived.

He seems to have you in the bag.

You must be careful.”

Having finished describing what Link had left on her mind, Lanny cut off the communication.

She didn’t look at the increasingly gloomy face of the Captain of Shadow City.

“Captain Taylor, what is Captain Grande’s real plan?”

Suddenly, an advanced wizard from the Wizard World homeland who was originally from the Stormy Sea, blurted out this question.

His question immediately drew the attention of other wizards.

What does he mean?

Is there another twist?

Could it be that Captain Grande didn’t really give up on the mission and has another hidden plan?

Lanny looked at the advanced wizard and calmly counter-questioned, “What are you trying to say?”

“What I mean is…”

Just as the advanced wizard began to speak, he abruptly swallowed the rest of his sentence and instead made a gesture pointing upward, asking, “Is Captain Grande arranging all of this because he’s wary of what’s above?”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Lanny didn’t engage with the team members whose train of thought had been derailed by this advanced wizard, focusing instead on adjusting the warship’s navigation route and speed.

Why wouldn’t the Shadow City Outlander Colonization Team keep following them if they were threatened?

At most, they just needed to maintain a balance, not to provoke a fierce backlash.

But Lanny’s behavior made the team members’ guessing even more wild.

One by one, they wondered if Captain Grande was guarding against Level Five Sages secretly following from other wizard organizations.

So he dare not lay out the real plan.

He could only proceed with the mission in such a roundabout way.

Confused by being considered as a master of deep wisdom, Link Grande received a reminder from Franda at that moment.

The ten wizards from the Great Sage Mitchell’s team who had emerged from the warship but whose whereabouts were unknown were lurking around the warship of the Flame and Metal Trading Company’s team.

They launched a fierce attack, catching the Flame and Metal Trading Company’s team’s warship off guard.

From the very beginning, they had firmly held the upper hand.

The ten wizards cast spells together, rendering a warship defenseless.

This was indeed very interesting.
