This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 182 Group Combat Strategy
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Those Bone Alliance wizard apprentices who were originally on the Bone airship were also excluded because the Bone airship had turned into a "figure".

They rolled on the ground a little embarrassedly, then took out their weapons and shouted loudly.

But soon these wizard apprentices realized something was wrong, because they were horrified to find that they were facing four official wizards who had fully deployed their wizard force fields!

Many of the Bone Alliance's wizard apprentices already had fear in their eyes. They subconsciously looked at Captain Butters behind them and retreated quietly. However, some wizard apprentices whose eyes had turned gray charged towards Lucian and the others without fear.

"Stop them!" Butters turned around and ran. He showed no mercy to the wizard apprentices under his command. Even under his manipulation, those wizard apprentices with gray eyes became more violent and crazy.

"kill!"

"For the Captain!"

These sailors, who were only level three wizard apprentices at best, and some were only level two wizard apprentices, roared and rushed towards Lucian and his crew, while some wizard apprentices who saw the situation was not good quickly scattered in all directions, trying to take the opportunity to escape from this place that made them feel horrified and unfamiliar.

boom--

A wizard apprentice was cut into two pieces by the wind blade created by witchcraft, but his body, which was cut into two pieces, quickly expanded and turned into the same grayish-white color as his eyes.

The next moment, the bodies exploded, and even some wizard apprentices who had not been attacked began to explode. The power of these explosions was comparable to the desperate attack of a third-level wizard apprentice, but for a formal wizard, the attacks that these apprentices exchanged their lives for were just a small trouble.

"Damn it, I haven't had any conflicts with your Gray Bone Academy recently. I even had some good cooperation with several previous members of your academy. Why are you looking for me?" Butters shouted in despair while fleeing in a panic.

Under the sealing effect of the Gray Bone Scepter, Butters' strength at this moment was only comparable to that of a formal wizard at the threshold level, and without the cooperation of the White Bone airship, many of his best and most familiar methods were difficult for him to use. At this moment, Butters felt extremely aggrieved.

He didn't even understand why the Gray Bone Wizard would pay such a huge price to attack him, and even used the Gray Bone Scepter, which was his most powerful wizard tool.

You have to know that for a wizard tool like the Gray Bone Scepter, the energy used in casting spells is extremely precious. If the Gray Bone Scepter were to absorb the discrete magic elements between heaven and earth to slowly recharge itself, it would probably take ten years.

In Butters' opinion, it was obviously a waste to use this level of magic tools against himself, which was definitely like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The accumulation on my body may not be enough to make up for the loss of charging the Gray Bone Scepter! From the perspective of profit alone, this is definitely a losing deal.

Unless... they knew the secret of the Bones.

But he had never been exposed. Even on the White Bones, no one except himself could really leave... It was impossible for anyone else to know this secret.

Butters felt that most of his mental power had been sealed by the power of shadow, and he couldn't help but reveal a hint of despair in his heart.

"Go to sleep." Sharon, who was covered in a gray robe, waved his hand lightly, and the invisible mental power fluctuations enveloped Butters, continuously affecting Butters' mind, and trying to drag him into his dream.

The other two official wizards were also using means of interference or control, cooperating with each other to try to completely control Bartus.

The three official wizards led by Lucian this time are all senior official wizards who are good at control and restraint. It is too easy for three to one to deal with Bartus whose strength is restricted.

If he wasn't wanted to be captured alive, Barts would have been a corpse by now.

Lucian, who had been activating the Graybone Scepter to maintain the seal, was now so relaxed that he didn't need to take any action himself. He simply turned his attention to the team of apprentices who were clearing out the wizard gathering place inside Blackhorn Mountain.

Soon, Lucian noticed the performance of a group of wizard apprentices, and the clever teamwork of this group of wizard new blood made his eyes light up. "Attack!"

"Long-range attack magic!"

Tang En ran around the team, acting as a guard while commanding these new bloods, who were no more than level two wizard apprentices, to launch a collective attack.

At this time, under Tang En's command, these wizard apprentices were arranged into a wizard formation, and began to take turns to cast offensive witchcraft in small units of three.

Just like just now, these wizard apprentices, under the command of Don, launched an attack on a building in the wizard stronghold. Although these witchcraft were not very accurate, in Lucian's opinion, they did have a sense of "fire coverage."

This reminded Lucian of some scenes from ancient war movies he had seen before traveling through time. If this wizard formation was scaled up, for example, hundreds of second-level wizard apprentices would simultaneously launch long-range magic, or even cast some powerful combined magic under the leadership of a formal wizard or a higher-level wizard...

"Unity is strength..." Lucian murmured softly, and then his eyes turned to some veteran wizard apprentices. At this time, they were scattered all over the wizard camp, either lurking quietly and then killing with one blow, or controlling phantoms to rush directly into the enemy, and after disrupting the enemy, they took advantage of the chaos to attack.

Most of them act alone, and even if they cooperate, it is only a temporary collaboration among several wizard apprentices. After dealing with the enemy, they will separate and continue to look for their own prey.

"Like... special forces and regular soldiers?" Lucian narrowed his eyes slightly. During the battle, the difference between the two groups of wizard apprentices became more obvious.

Lucian also had to admit that the wizard apprentices who grew up under the old teaching system were more balanced in personal qualities and could exert their own strengths in such a chaotic battlefield. If these two types of wizard apprentices were allowed to fight against each other, I am afraid that in the wild fight, the wizard apprentices who came out of the original bloody system would have an absolute advantage.

However, when it comes to large-scale group combat, the combat skills developed by the wizard's traditional lone wolf fighting style will not be very effective.

For example, if a hundred second-level wizard apprentices gathered together and cooperated properly, with some wizards specializing in defense, some wizards specializing in attack, and some wizard apprentices who were good at healing or reconnaissance... then when facing such a systematic team, perhaps a hundred or even two hundred lone wolf wizard apprentices would not be their match.

Even the "hunters" with outstanding individual abilities in the Blood Fighting Secret Realm may be able to kill more than a dozen opponents of the same level by their own strength, but when they face hundreds or thousands of long-range witchcraft attacks, they will probably have to flee in a panic, right?
This is just like how a martial arts master cannot afford to offend an established army.

In the teaching system, it may be a bit difficult to cultivate students into all-rounders, but if a wizard apprentice is allowed to develop in one or two areas that he is best at, perhaps a wizard apprentice with mediocre talent can burst into dazzling light.

In addition, the original teaching system can also be partially learned and referenced. A group of truly talented wizard apprentices can be selected and trained more rigorously and bloodily, but with more resources invested.

However, this selection is a two-way choice.

Want to be comfortable? Sure, then accept the normal teaching system. After that, no matter whether it is fighting or missions, they will be carried out in groups, constantly deepening their sense of unity and group consciousness, and providing them with a platform of mutual trust and mutual benefit to a higher degree.

Are you ambitious? Do you want to risk your life for a better future?
Sure! But it's your own choice, so if you die, you can't blame the academy for its bloody training. Want better resources? Then fight for them! The academy gave you a fair chance to compete. If you give up or fail, you will bear the consequences yourself!
The path of becoming a wizard is difficult and bumpy. The resources of the academy are limited, and if you want to get them, you need to pay!
Lucian thought in his mind and couldn't help but smile.

"Dean, the captain Butters has been captured, and these are some of his belongings." While Lucian was observing and thinking, the three official wizards had completed their task. They brought the sleeping Butters back and respectfully handed Lucian a storage bracelet.

"The rest are your spoils of war. Just discuss and divide them among yourselves." Lucian put away the Gray Bone Scepter, but at the same time, he grabbed the sealed Bone Airship in his hand and then stuffed it into his storage ring.

Although he did not directly participate in the battle, he was naturally the biggest contributor to this battle as he held the Gray Bone Scepter. Lucian would not be polite to these official wizards and directly took away Butters' most precious wizard tool.

The other three official wizards were also mentally prepared, but Lucian didn't bother to care whether they cursed in their hearts, because at this moment he was more interested in the counselor who had just organized the new bloods to fight in a group. After a little thought, Lucian quickly approached the direction where Tang En was.
