Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique-Chapter 663 - 186 Side Dish_3
Chapter 663: Chapter 186 Side Dish_3
“There is some feasibility to it, but there are still some problems,”
“Please, do tell.”
“Firstly, how do we disguise ourselves? Secondly, how can we be certain that the two parties will be unable to resist making a move?”
Before Lanny could speak, some other wizards had already begun to answer the questions.
“Disguising ourselves is simple. I have the blueprint for the design of the commonly used interstellar battleships of Shadow City. A slight modification to the appearance should be able to deceive them within a short period of time.”
“Even if those two parties endure and not make moves, it makes no difference. At the very least, they’ll be moved to action. Once they start, the chances of them discovering each other increases. Maybe they’ll think about getting rid of the competition first.”
...
“Wake up! Nobody is that foolish.”
“Hehehe…”
“…”
Link listened quietly to the discussion among the 11 members of the team, his mind calm.
These discussions, though they seem reasonable on the surface, are actually… somewhat pointless. They do not reflect the level of elite abilities that the carefully selected candidates from the college should have.
But the more he thought about it, the more he realised it was to be expected.
To make suggestions is to carry responsibility! If the mission fails, Link, as the captain, will bear the primary responsibility. Those who propose strategies will bear secondary responsibilities, while ordinary members will bear collateral responsibilities.

If you bear too many or too heavy responsibilities, it’s not a good look on your record.
Without a need, which wizard would willingly put themselves in an unfavorable position right from the start?
That’s just how it is with temporary teams.
Not quite like “do whatever you want”, nor like the Mini Legion that Sandra set up for the second time which could unite as one.
This temporary team, in order to complete the mission, can advance and retreat together when fighting, but will certainly hold back when planning and making decisions.
Unless the plan made by Captain Link Grande is utterly ridiculous, there is both no hope of completing the mission and the possibility of casualties.
The sense of alienation, the contradictions, all stood out starkly.
Link had expected this, knowing that the democratic discussion would be fruitless, but he had to go through this process anyway.
In this way, the decision that Link will make can be said to be a collective decision, rather than a one-man show.
When the discussion gradually quietened down, Lanny Taylor looked at him inquisitively. Link gave a small cough, attracting the attention of the members.
“Everyone makes valid points.”
With those words, Link began, then turned the conversation, “My idea is, to split into two groups. One to act as bait, and one as the main attack force.
The bait group will pilot the interstellar warships, ostentatiously heading in the direction of the Shadow City Team. Regardless if the Flame and Metal Trading Company or the White Tower Alliance attacks, we’ll just ignore it and proceed.”
“The main attack team will follow behind. If the Flame and Metal Trading Company or the White Tower Alliance attacks, we will assess the situation and decide how to intervene; if the two organizations’ teams continue to hide, then the main attack group rapidly catches up with the warship, converges, and blocks the unavoidable path of the Shadow City Team.”
“And then?”
Lanny Taylor asked, frowning.
She was having trouble understanding the purpose of Link’s final arrangement.
Link gave a small smile and countered, “Who said that we must attack Shadow City’s Outlander Colonization Team?”
“The college… ”
Lanny started to speak, then abruptly stopped.
The mission details issued by the college indeed stipulated that the objective was to target Shadow City’s Outlander Colonization Team but also emphasized two points: one, to seize resources, and two, to avoid injury.
From another perspective, as long as the resources were obtained without causing harm, the mission could be considered complete.
So, would peacefully negotiating and peacefully enforcing the transfer of resources count as fulfilling the mission?
Certainly so.
From this point of view, the only question was –
How does one convince the Outlander Colonization Team of Shadow City to hand over the hard-earned resources willingly?
The 11 members remained silent, their minds turning, thinking over this question.
Link then grinned and asked, “Who said that we must seize all of the Outlander Colonization Team of Shadow City’s resources?”
This question immediately enlightened the team members.
The details of the mission issued by the college did not mandate that the sniper team must seize all of the Outlander Colonization Team of Shadow City’s resources, just that they must seize resources.
A difference of a single word leaves room for completely different operational abilities.
Therefore, Link’s idea has high feasibility.
If the Flame and Metal Trading Company or the White Tower Alliance’s warships are alarmed by the bait group and spring into action, it doesn’t matter whether they attack the bait group or each other, as the main attack group can easily deal with it from the shadows.

Under these circumstances, after dealing with the two warships of the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance, Ravensmouth College’s sniper team can then decide based on circumstances how to seize resources from the Outlander Colonization Team of Shadow City.
If the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance’s warships hold their breath and remain hidden –
The main attack group will join the bait team, blocking the Outlander Colonization Team of Shadow City, offering them an alliance against the two warships of the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance in exchange for half of the resources, which shouldn’t be too much to ask?
Remember, the relationship between Ravensmouth College and Shadow City, though not allies, has never been contentious.
It’s just that there was a bit of unpleasantness recently due to the rise of the Great Sage Seuss.
But such unpleasantness can certainly be put aside for the time being.
“I agree.”
Once Lanny understood, she was the first to voice her support.
“I agree.”
“I agree too.”
The remaining 10 members voiced their support for Link’s idea one after the other.
“Good.”
Link nodded and said solemnly, “As for who will join the bait group and who will join the main attack group, I won’t force an assignment. You may all voluntarily sign up.”
