Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 74 Tonight is a bountiful night (Seeking first subscription)

"Honan, give me an explanation."

Back at the command post, Yan Zhen dismissed all the centurions, leaving only Huo Nan and Dai Long. He then turned around and looked at Huo Nan with a solemn expression.

Honan said expressionlessly, "I am one of the commanders of this operation, and I have the authority to change the defense zone of a wizard apprentice without affecting the overall plan."

Dai Long frowned and said, "Don't try to fob us off with that. Huo Nan, you know Pei Ze isn't just an ordinary wizard apprentice; he has Lord Mo Weng backing him!"

Huo Nan twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a straight face, "You may be afraid of Mo Weng, but I'm not."

Yan Zhen and Dai Long exchanged a glance, and they both understood.

After a moment of silence, Yan Zhen sighed and shook his head, saying, "You're too impulsive. The struggle between wizards is not something we can get involved in."

Huo Nan's expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly without saying a word.

Yan Zhen shook his head and turned to leave the room.

Dai Long gave Huo Nan a complicated look: "Although I don't know what benefits they gave you, you'd better watch yourself."

He finished speaking and turned to leave.

The room fell silent in an instant, leaving Huo Nan standing there alone, his expression shifting.

Outside the window, the clouds drifted slowly, revealing the silvery moon behind them.

The bright moonlight streamed through the window, spreading a thin layer of white velvet across the floor of the room.

In the silent stillness, a sliver of moonlight rose slowly from the ground like mist, gradually condensing into a figure draped in a long robe.

Huo Nan seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around. Only after seeing the person's face clearly did his tense body relax.

He bowed slightly and respectfully greeted, "My lord."

The figure gave a slight hum and said calmly, "How did things go?"

Huo Nan said respectfully, "I have already assigned Pei Ze to the most dangerous area, Zone 28. I have also instructed my trusted men to pretend to relax their guard, allowing more heretics to break through towards Pei Ze!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Pei Ze's strength definitely won't be enough to withstand so many heretics!"

"He will either die in battle in Area 28, or hide and allow the heretics to break through. But if that happens, I can execute him on the spot on the grounds of desertion!"

"Not bad." The figure nodded in satisfaction. "Get things done. I don't want any accidents to happen, otherwise you know the consequences."

Huo Nan's expression tightened, and he quickly replied, "Yes, sir, I promise I won't let you down!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Huo Nan couldn't help but ask again, "Sir, Pei Ze is, after all, the top student of the first year at High Tower Academy, and also Mo Weng's disciple. If he dies here, what will happen to High Tower Academy and Mo Weng?"

The figure glanced at him and said indifferently, "No matter how outstanding one's aptitude is, a wizard apprentice is still just a wizard apprentice."

"No one would offend a full-fledged wizard for the sake of a dead apprentice."

"You don't need to worry about the Tower Academy. I have my own way of handling it. As for Mo Weng, our Pei family has a lot of grudges with him."

Seeing that Huo Nan still looked worried, the figure hesitated for a few seconds before giving him some reassurance.

"After this, you will leave the city guard. The Dawn Council is working on developing a new plane, and I will find you a new position in the plane conquest army."

Upon hearing this, Huo Nan was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Thank you, sir!"

The figure nodded slightly, and the next second the figure suddenly blurred and changed, disappearing into the void like ice melting and snow dissipating.

Huo Nan straightened up, a fiery glint in his eyes.

After he pulls off this job, he can join the Silver Legion!

The key is that you can also participate in the development of the new dimension. If you are lucky enough to get enough resources, you might be able to break through to the legendary realm!

The future is bright!

As the encirclement operation officially began, the entire city garrison started operating like a precision instrument, with a large number of fully armed soldiers pouring out of the garrison and dispersing in all directions in an orderly manner.

Wizard apprentices and knight cadets also mingled in the crowd, heading towards their respective defensive zones.

Looking down from above, countless ant-like crowds swept around the garrison, rapidly spreading to the entire northern outer city district.

About half an hour later.

Pei Ze, along with Su Ya and Peng Yan, arrived at area 28 marked on the map.

Standing at the intersection of the streets, looking at the countless residential buildings shrouded in the dark night, a glint of light flashed in Pei Ze's eyes.

Behind him, Su Ya looked grave, her eyes filled with worry.

Peng Yan, on the other hand, looked much more relaxed. He stood behind Pei Ze, peeking out and seemingly very curious about what Pei Ze was looking at.

A moment later, Pei Ze turned around and saw Su Ya's worried expression. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there's any danger later, I'll cover you and run first."

Su Ya gave a wry smile. Even at a time like this, how could Pei Ze still be in the mood for jokes?

Peng Yan took Pei Ze's words seriously, shaking his head repeatedly like a rattle-drum, and said in a muffled voice, "How can that be? Our duty is to protect your safety, sir. How can we let you cover for us instead?"

"If there's any danger, sir, you escape first, I'll cover your retreat!"

Pei Ze chuckled to himself.

Su Ya rolled her eyes at Peng Yan. This idiot couldn't even tell a joke from a joke.

Seeing Pei Ze lost in thought, gazing at the night sky, Su Ya and Peng Yan wisely refrained from disturbing him. Instead, they checked their equipment once more, preparing for the upcoming battle.

The night was quiet, and time passed by, second by second.

Because the city guards had blocked off all the major roads and intersections in the North District in advance, there was not a single person on the streets, and the surroundings were completely silent.

About ten minutes later, a thunderous roar suddenly came from afar, the sound carrying far into the silent night.

Su Ya and Peng Yan suddenly looked up, their eyes wide as they stared into the distance.

Several kilometers away from the manor, the once dark night sky above had been dyed blue and white, with countless thick lightning bolts flashing and dancing in the void, illuminating the surrounding area of ​​a thousand meters as if it were daytime.

Pei Ze glanced in the direction of the manor, a strange look flashing across his face.

"This is the aura of spatial fluctuations."

Pei Ze understood.

A being of formal wizarding level possesses terrifying destructive power; a single strike can destroy large swathes of buildings.

Once a formal wizard-level battle breaks out, the area within several kilometers of the manor will likely be reduced to ruins.

The city guards and the Tower Academy would naturally not allow this to happen, so it was only natural for them to set up a barrier to isolate the aftermath of the battle.

After observing for a moment, Pei Ze withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Prepare for battle; the enemy should be arriving soon."

As if in response to his words, a roar suddenly came from afar, and a flash of light could be vaguely seen.

It is clear that the heretics who fled the manor have already clashed with the city guards.

Su Ya pursed her lips, took the long sword from her waist, and stared solemnly ahead, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

Peng Yan seemed somewhat excited and subconsciously licked his lips.

His barbarian bloodline, with its inherent warlike traits, made him not only unafraid of the upcoming battle, but also eager to try it out.

To Suya's surprise, the sounds of battle in the distance only lasted for a short while before quickly subsiding.

Under the cover of night, many figures darted and leaped, rapidly approaching this direction.

"What happened?" Su Ya asked, her face full of surprise and doubt. "The city guards are so weak! How could they have been breached by the enemy so quickly?"

Peng Yan scratched his head in confusion and said, "Could the enemy be very strong?"

Pei Ze stared calmly at the figure in the distance, showing no surprise whatsoever.

As early as when Huo Nan forcibly assigned him to Area 28, he guessed that Huo Nan would definitely have another move.

Simply assigning him to the area under the most defensive pressure is clearly not enough to kill him.

Unless Huo Nan is stupid, he will definitely have a backup plan.

The safest approach is to tamper with the first line of defense, allowing more enemies to pass through, thereby increasing the difficulty of defending area 28.

If Area 28 was originally just a nightmare difficulty level, after Huo Nan's actions, it has now become a hellish difficulty level.

—Of course, this only applies to ordinary apprentices.

Four or five breaths later, those figures had already rushed to the intersection of the street.

By the bright moonlight, Pei Ze quickly made out the figure of the person who had come.

There were twenty-six people in total.

Nearly half of them had skin that appeared dark and granite-like under the moonlight, exuding an indestructible texture.

A spell-like ability similar to Stone Skin!

This is the signature ability of the demonic followers within Abep's faction.

In addition, three of them were covered with a thick layer of stone armor. Their footsteps thudded as they ran, making them look like rock giants, which was extremely oppressive.

Su Ya's expression changed slightly as her gaze fell on the three people.

"Peak Grand Knight!"

According to the intelligence provided by the city guards, demonic disciples who can conjure rock armor already possess strength equivalent to that of a peak Grand Knight.

In other words, there were three peak-level Grand Knights among the attacking enemies!

The remaining nine are all at the level of Great Knights!

How do we beat this lineup?

Su Ya's heart sank to the bottom.

An ordinary level three wizard apprentice could barely defeat a peak-level grand knight.

Pei Ze might be stronger than an ordinary level three wizard apprentice, but dealing with two peak-level Grand Knights at the same time is probably his limit.

The chances of winning against three opponents are probably very slim.

Even if she and Peng Yan could hold off the remaining heretics, Pei Ze alone would probably have a hard time dealing with those three peak Grand Knight demon disciples.

The current situation is undoubtedly worse than ever before!

Upon noticing that someone was blocking their way, the heretics stopped in their tracks with wary expressions, their eyes turning cold as they looked at the person who had blocked their way.

But once they saw that there was only a wizard apprentice and two knight students in front of them, their wariness immediately disappeared, replaced by a mocking expression.

"Turns out they were just three immature little brats."

"Judging from their attire, they should be students from the Wizard Academy and the Knight Academy."

"Those damned wizards, they actually used us for training!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and kill them and get out of here. There might be other pursuers behind us."

The leader, a demonic follower with a scar on his face, interrupted his companion's conversation with a deep shout.

He seemed to have considerable prestige among the crowd. As soon as he spoke, the others fell silent and stared coldly at Pei Ze and the other two.

When they ran into the city guards on the outskirts of the manor after escaping, they thought they were doomed to die that night.

Who would have thought that the city guards' interception was so weak, and they easily broke through it.

Now, blocking the key passage are only a wizard apprentice and two knight cadets. As long as these three are killed and they escape into the residential area, they will be free to go, and the city guards will have no chance to catch them again.

Thinking of this, the heretics all grinned maliciously.

Facing more than twenty menacing heretics, Su Ya's face paled slightly. She instinctively gripped the hilt of her sword and gritted her teeth.

Peng Yan also looked solemn.

Pei Ze, however, remained calm and composed throughout.

His gaze swept over the group of demonic disciples, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Three peak, two advanced, three intermediate, and four beginner, plus more than ten demonized individuals, totaling 426 merit points."

"Not bad, more than I expected."

"Looks like tonight is going to be a bountiful night."

Pei Ze's words surprised not only Su Ya and Peng Yan, but also the heretics.

However, the heretics quickly realized what was happening, their faces darkening and their eyes turning fierce.

Where does this damn kid get his confidence? He acts like he's got them all figured out.

Su Ya's expression also became quite interesting.

She couldn't understand why Pei Ze could still act so calmly. Did he have some other trump card?

"A mere third-level wizard apprentice, yet he speaks with such arrogance."

The scarred demon's eyes flashed with a cold light, revealing undisguised killing intent.

"I hope you'll still be this stubborn later!"

"Kill them!"

At the command of the scarred demon, the heretics, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, immediately leaped forward, grinning as they charged at Pei Ze and his companions.

Su Ya and Peng Yan tensed up and raised their weapons to meet the attack.

But Pei Ze reacted faster than them. He suddenly raised his right hand, and in an instant, light condensed at his fingertips. Ten points of starlight shot out and expanded in the wind halfway through the flight. In the blink of an eye, they expanded into ten fist-sized magic missiles, which swept towards the demon disciple who was at the forefront.

The demon disciple never expected Pei Ze to cast a spell so suddenly, without any warning. Caught off guard, he could only dodge to the side.

But the next second, the ten magic missiles also changed direction and hit the demon disciple accurately with a whooshing sound.

Chi Chi Chi!

A series of chilling thuds rang out, and the demon disciple, who possessed the strength of a high-ranking knight, instantly had ten bloody holes appear on his body. Blood splattered everywhere, and before he could even scream, he collapsed to the ground in terror and died.

"Silent casting of the spell!"

The scarred demon's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Pei Ze in horror.

A level three wizard apprentice has actually mastered the super magical skill of silently casting spells?!

Just who is this kid?

Before he could think any further, seeing starlight gather again at Pei Ze's fingertips, Scarface's expression changed drastically, and he accelerated towards Pei Ze.

The other heretics also realized that this wizard apprentice was clearly not as easy to deal with as they had expected. If they underestimated him again, they might be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat.

So their expressions hardened, and they quickened their pace, rushing towards Pei Ze.

Su Ya also recovered from the shock of Pei Ze instantly killing the demon disciple. Seeing this, her expression changed slightly, and she quickly shouted.

"Protect the adults!"

Peng Yan responded and was about to step forward with Su Ya to cover Pei Ze.

But just as the two rushed forward a few steps, a wisp of black energy suddenly shot out from Pei Ze's wrist, heading straight for the attacking heretic like an arrow.

Under the cover of night, the black mist multiplied from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand, and in less than a breath, thousands of crows appeared on the streets.

The dense swarm of crows crowded together, like a black torrent that blotted out the sky and swept towards the heretics.

In that instant, every inch of the entire street seemed to be stained with a deep, dark black.

Seeing this, the heretics all changed their expressions.

They hurriedly stopped, trying to dodge, but it was too late. In the next instant, the black torrent engulfed everyone!
