Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 317: Chapter 74: Despise for Meat Eaters_3

Subsequently, Link pondered the true purpose of this specialized squad’s deep penetration into enemy territory.

He always felt it wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.

“What are you thinking about?”

Observing Link plunged into his thoughts, Assad lifted an eyebrow and curiously asked.

Link replied frankly, “I’m pondering the real purpose of this mission.”

Assad chuckled, countering, “Why do you think the academy assigned Sage Palo to conquer the Fairy World instead of another world?”

This question, Link had not considered before.

Or more specifically, Link had not pondered this issue from Sage Palo’s perspective.

Link recalled a phrase he’d read in his previous life: war is a continuation of politics.

The academy wouldn’t whimsically wage a campaign against the Fairy World as if it were child’s play.

There had to be a motive.

Sage Palo also did not resort to brute force immediately, but opted for diplomacy before resorting to warfare.

Even during the two battles, he hadn’t employed overly excessive large-scale strategic Magic Tools.

Only during the second battle did he send a Sky Fortress bombing the advancing Fairy royal reinforcements who were about to overrun the Personal Guard Army’s defensive line.

The Personal Guard Army composed of Sage Palo’s most loyal followers, all Tier 2 wizards, was accumulated over several decades.

Engaging a larger force, holding back the fifty thousand Fairy royal reinforcements, was not the rightful usage of the Personal Guard Army.

The army should either accompany Sage Palo on the front lines, crushing the enemy’s primary force, or serve as the decisive factor by directly raiding the vulnerable Fairy King’s Forest.

That would be the right way to utilize the Personal Guard Army.

However, Sage Palo didn’t use his best troops to their full potential.

Not all of the Fairy main force on the battlefield, numbering a hundred thousand, was destroyed completely; many were taken as prisoners instead.

The front line Command Post even organized numerous institutions led by the Medical Department to study the issue upon realizing the fairies were undergoing large-scale aberrations.

Looking back, the Medical Department’s definitions of “plague” and “aberration” may have been from a perspective issue, not an issue of knowledge and technology.

Various thought threads fluttered inside Link’s mind, then he seized the focal point.

“Conquering the Fairy World isn’t challenging, securing it intact is the key.”

Having fathomed the key point, Link’s eyes lit up brighter. His words were responses to Assad as well as inner monologues,

“The academy passed the Fairy World to Sage Palo for practice, labeling it as a Resource World.

The most valuable aspects of the Fairy World, in my humble opinion, are perhaps its mineral resources and population.

What the academy needs are wise but not weak fairies, not zombies who have forsaken intellect for a smidgen of enhancement.

Therefore, our mission deep into enemy’s rear is to figure out the truth behind the fairies’ sudden large-scale aberrations and find solutions to prevent the situation from further expanding!”

Assad silently listened to Link’s words, habitually raised an eyebrow, and smiled,

“Essentially it’s correct. However, you can broaden your thinking a bit more.

If it cannot be resolved or it spreads further, one can also perfect the strategies for biochemical modification and enhancement of fairies, right?

The legion doesn’t lack scientists specializing in biological studies, why do you think I specifically requested Sage Palo to assign you to us?

I value your fully developed train of thoughts and your proposal of a potentially successful complete plan.”

Link nodded, having a clearer understanding of his role.

With a clear role, he had guidance for his actions, and thus was less likely to make mistakes.

At this moment, “Black Cat” Betty reported via team channel, “Captain, there are three fairy squads approaching from 1 o’clock direction, 10 witch miles away. How should we respond?”

“Let them come.”

Boss Otis’s voice followed, “They are fairies sent by the nobles to deliver information.”

Obviously, as a Tier 3 Wizard and captain of this special squad, Boss Otis knew more information than all team members, including Assad, the ostensible head of intelligence.

“Affirmative.”

Upon agreement, Betty returned into silent mode.

Hearing the conversation, Link could not help but sigh.

Guides are everywhere..
