Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Hold your ground and await reinforcements, while launching attacks from the center and from both sides!

It must be said that the commander of the opposing forces of the Gods Civilization played this move brilliantly.

Its grasp and manipulation of battlefield psychology is exquisite.

The most striking point is that it's the darkest place under the lamp.

However, Link believed that since the army group headquarters wanted to use the infiltrated fifth-level legion of the Gods Civilization to cause trouble, it was impossible that they did not have a record.

As expected, after the massive and sudden teleportation of the seventh-level legion of the Gods Civilization, which was equivalent to a seventh-level Grand Sage-level legion in the Wizarding World, the three fifth-level Sage Legions of the Gods Civilization, which had been putting in a half-hearted effort and were unable to wipe out the infiltrated fifth-level legion of the Gods Civilization, retreated immediately and went far away.

Rodrigo Diomand, commander of the Rivosos Academy Army Group, finally revealed his Level 7 Grand Sage Legion, leading three Level 6 Sage Legions to surround the Level 7 Legion of the Gods Civilization that had been teleported in.

The battlefield situation can change rapidly, like a rabbit leaping and a falcon swooping.

At the same time, the Rivosos Academy Army Group launched a frontal offensive.

Whether or not we can win on the main battlefield, and how great the results will be after we win, are not the key points.

The key is that Rodrigo Diomander is determined to completely annihilate this seventh-level legion of the Gods Civilization.

After so many years of back-and-forth, the wizarding civilization and the god civilization have long since reached a tacit understanding and established a principle of equality.

The enemy faced by the Rivosos Academy Army Group is similar in size to that of an army group.

Even if there are differences, they are not significant.

Since the commander of the world of gods and immortals is abandoning his command and wanting to take risks and personally infiltrate enemy territory, Rodrigo Diomand doesn't mind sending the enemy away first before winning this battle.

A major battle was about to break out and would soon reach its climax.

The third reserve team, which was incorporated into the Grand Sage Legion, also received two "firefighting" missions.

Fortunately, they were all assisting several legions that needed rest and resupply, and were not involved in the main battle.

There were some small-scale, low-intensity battles, but no significant casualties were reported.

The Grand Sage Legion suffered only partial damage to one of its main warships, with no personnel losses.

However, given the current intensity of the war, Link believes that if it continues, the Grand Sage Legion will eventually have to take on combat duties on the front lines.

After all, even the commander Rodrigo Diormand was personally fighting.

Even if Link Grand is special, can he be more special than Rodrigo Diormand?

impossible.

Link had no other choice but to focus on building up the morale of the Grand Sage Legion while closely monitoring the situation in the heartland, specifically in Rodrigo Diormand.

With superior numbers and the presence of Rodrigo Diomand, a seventh-level sage, who was exchanging blows with the opposing god, Rivosos Academy truly held the upper hand.

The seventh-level legion of the Gods Civilization has abandoned its established tactical objectives and changed its strategy from a central attack to a pincer movement, fighting and retreating while making a strong breakout attempt.

The more this was the case, the less Rodrigo Diomand dared to let his guard down.

Even though the opposing god revealed several weaknesses in order to take care of his legions, Rodrigo Diomand remained steady and methodical.

Perhaps this wasn't a deliberate opening created by the opposing god, a risky move that could quickly bring about success.

However, if we can achieve victory through steady and methodical means, even if we ultimately have to let the opposing god go, why not?

Ultimately, Rodrigo Diomand's purpose in planning this campaign was not to inflict significant damage on the world of the gods.

Rather, it was to demonstrate to the Supreme Council that Rivosos Academy possessed the capability to assume wartime and theater command on the front lines against the world of the gods.

During the ongoing confrontation, the opposing deity discerned some of Rodrigo Diormand's intentions.

After several failed breakout attempts and repeated defeats on the main battlefield, the opposing god made a decision.

And so, the battlefield situation changed again with "operations" that Link couldn't understand.

On the main battlefield, the forces of the Gods civilization successively "cut off their tails to survive," painfully sacrificing their own strength to leave enough "victories" and "spoils" to satisfy the Rivosos Academy army group, and then withdrew the main force to a safe star field.

Rodrigo Diomand's seventh-level Great Sage Legion and three sixth-level Sage Legions, after tearing off a large chunk of flesh from the seventh-level legion of the Gods Civilization, also chose to let the enemy "break out" successfully.

During this time, Link had no time to ponder the reasons for this change, and led the Grand Sage Legion, along with the Third Reserve, on several interception missions.

The legions that were severed from the forces of the divine civilization did not have the mentality of "a desperate army will surely win," but they would not allow themselves to be slaughtered.

The Grand Sage Army fought three hard battles, only managing to win some meat and soup on two occasions.

After a tough battle, there will naturally be casualties.

The paralysis of the Level 4 Star Fortress's defense system and the destruction of several main interstellar warships are secondary issues.

As long as the "victories" and "spoils" are sufficient, they can be easily replenished.

What troubled and pained Link the most was the loss of personnel.

Leaving aside the guerrilla corps, more than half of them have been lost. Without replenishment and a long period of retraining, they will completely lose their combat effectiveness.

The greatest and most tragic loss was the death of thirteen wizards from the three main regiments and the royal guard.

Of these thirteen wizards, three were level two wizards and ten were level one wizards.

They all tragically perished in the Gods' Civilization's reckless, suicidal fighting style.

According to the regulations of the High Council and the Rivosos Academy, Link, as the Legion Commander, will bear one-third of the compensation.

That's nothing, just magic stones, Link can afford them.

The key issue is that the morale of the legion has been significantly affected.

If this battle hadn't started and ended so quickly, Link suspected that if it had continued for another ten days or so, the Grand Sage Legion, already in a state of low morale, would have suffered a severe defeat.

After the battle, Rivosos Academy immediately recalled the army group that had made a “great contribution”.

The army led by Waters, a seventh-level sage, has come to replace them.

After a period of sailing, Rodrigo Diormand's army returned to the star system near the headquarters of the Rivosos Academy for rest and recuperation.

Having achieved remarkable results and helped Rivosos Academy "reclaim" wartime and theater command from the Supreme Council, a victory celebration was inevitable.

At the main campus of Rivos-Soth Academy, a grand celebration was successfully held, attended by both the Great Sage of Rivos and the Great Sage of Soth, and accessible to all wizards of Rodrigo Diomand's army.

The formal wizards, who rarely had the opportunity to see the faces of the Great Sage Rivo and the Great Sage Soth, were all extremely excited.

The pain of losing comrades was swept away.

Every wizard felt only joy and glory.

Hmm... I witnessed the glory of the Great Sage Rivo and the Great Sage Soth with my own eyes!

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.

Link, holding a glass of wine, found a quiet, secluded spot to be alone.

"What's wrong? Why are you here all alone?"

However, no matter how secluded or deserted it may be, in a crowded and noisy celebration party, if you are willing, someone will always be able to find you.

Dean Forrest, who was already a seventh-level Great Sage, easily found Link and asked him this question.

"Nothing much, just thinking about how to replenish the legion's losses."

Link, naturally, wouldn't be so stubborn as to say something that would spoil the mood at the celebration party, so he casually chose a topic to brush it off.

Dean Forrest could tell whether Link was telling the truth or not.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much.

Ultimately, this was Link's first time on a real battlefield, so it's perfectly normal for him to have some emotions.

For so many years, Forrest Diomand has stayed in the academy, reluctant to go to the battlefield. Isn't there a reason for that?

Leaving that topic aside, Dean Forrest continued, "I've already sent someone to make contact, and they're very willing to continue maintaining a good relationship with us."

Link understood immediately.

This is his cheap younger brother's plan to enter the Rivosos Academy to get through the period of weakness before his strength is restored!

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Link naturally picked up the conversation and asked a question.

Dean Forrest was very pleased with Link's "sensibility".

Talking to smart people is so easy; they understand your meaning with just a little hint.

"The delegation from the parallel universe's immortal civilization has already returned, so you no longer need to avoid them. How about this: you come and be a teacher at the Advanced Academy for a term?"

"I have no objection."

The educational system of Rivoli School is divided into three parts: Junior College, Senior College, and Main College.

The teachers at the junior academy are second-level and third-level wizards;

The teachers at the advanced academy are third-level wizards and fourth-level sages;

The faculty of this academy consists of fourth-level and fifth-level sages.

Dean Forrest's arrangement for Link to become a teacher at the Advanced Institute was very appropriate.

This would allow him to provide reasonable "protection" to Link's younger brother, Nostro Grand, during his transition from junior to senior school.

Later, they can enter the main academy together as close brothers and protect each other.

To outsiders, this appears to be Link considering the well-being of his blood brother, and is unlikely to spark speculation that Nostro Grande is the reincarnation of the Saint of Nostrodam.

Of course, the name still needs to be changed.

Dean Forrest was very satisfied to see that Link understood and agreed to his arrangements.

After leaving a single sentence, Dean Forrest departed.

"It's a victory celebration, so don't keep it to yourself. Go chat with the others and build relationships. There will be plenty of tough battles to come."

This statement makes a lot of sense.

After all, a great change unprecedented in thousands of years has arrived.

Putting aside the fact that Link's "origins" are a mystery, the fact that the Saint of Nostrodam was reincarnated as his blood brother means there will inevitably be many troubles in the future.

"You really can't be too antisocial."

With this in mind, Link left the secluded and deserted place and actively joined in the victory celebration.

However, Link did not simply "compromise" and try to get close to everyone he met.

Instead, he chatted for a while with the level two and level three wizards of his own legion, and also built rapport with the third reserve team and the legion sages who had fought alongside him in several missions.

Everyone knew what was going on, so the scene was naturally harmonious and didn't turn out badly.

The celebration banquet, which lasted for a full ten hours, ended in a great atmosphere.

The next few days were the real time for recognizing and rewarding those who had contributed.

Rivoss College is very generous.

The Academy will bear all losses of star fortresses and interstellar warships damaged in battle by each legion.

They also replenished the supplies by two base units at once.

The same applies to the entourage.

Each legion commander received corresponding cultivation resources as a reward according to their merits.

As for the compensation for the fallen wizards, the academy, by custom, did not advance the payment.

The legion commanders still have to pay out of their own pockets.

Link handled the compensation matters for the fallen wizards, led the Grand Sage Legion to the permanent residence allocated by the academy for rest and recuperation, arranged subsequent training matters, and then returned to the wizarding world.

Instead of rushing to take up his new post at the Advanced Institute, Link stayed home for a week.

This week, Jasmine went all out, showing Link just how terrifying a wife who's bad at cooking but addicted to cooking can be.

They really work themselves to the bone as long as they don't die.

If it weren't for having a daughter to take care of, Link probably wouldn't even have time to get out of bed.

After another fierce battle, Jasmine, looking radiant yet exhausted, leaned against the headboard. Seeing this, Link couldn't help but complain, "Didn't I say I'd be teaching at the Advanced Academy and wouldn't be going out for a long time?"

Jasmine wiped the sweat from her brow, turned her head away, and stubbornly said, "I don't care! Who knows when you'll be going out on a mission again, or going into hiding!"

Link didn't say anything more.

You can't reason with people about this.

The best strategy is to fight back or even take the initiative to defeat the opponent so thoroughly that they have to beg for mercy.

With a wave of his hand, Link cast a soundproof spell and stepped forward once again, determined to show the little imp what he was capable of!

Even the longest moments of joy are always fleeting.

Link had taught Jasmine a lesson, and he was almost completely exhausted, so he had no choice but to report to the Advanced Academy.

Because the new fall semester is here again.

The younger brother of Lottesno Grand, who has temporarily changed his name, has successfully enrolled in the junior college of Rivosos Academy.

Whether it was a twisted sense of humor or not, the wizard aptitude tested by Lotesnor Grand was also only at the middle level of the third rank.

Link "secretly" went to the junior academy for a look and asked around the teachers of Lottesno Grand to act like a proper older brother.

If you don't want to stand out, it's best to just do everything as usual.

Lottesno Grande was clearly very discreet; he never loudly proclaimed "My brother is Link Grande" at the junior academy, but rather spread the news quietly within his carefully cultivated inner circle.

And so began Lottesno Grand's wonderful student life, which he enjoyed immensely.

The treatment he receives from his older brother, who has been making headlines in recent years, is so simple and unpretentious.

Link was not dissatisfied with this, and even often invited Lottesno Grand to his home for meals.

With everything laid out openly, Jasmine also learned the true identity of Lottesno Grand.

However, she did a very good job and played the role of a very qualified sister-in-law.

Dean Forrest did not appear during this period.

However, the group kept their thoughts to themselves.

Link was representing the Rivosos Academy to show his friendship to Lottesno Grand.

Lotesnor Grand was happy to accept. (End of Chapter)
