Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 491 - 36 Temporarily Leaving

First Battle Zone Fortress 214, Commander Rata stared at the message from the Battle Zone Command Center, puzzled.

"What do they mean by ’welcoming the wizards breaking out from the Third War Zone’? Shouldn’t the wizards from the Third War Zone be retreating to their side instead of mine?"

Although the fall of the Great Wizard at dusk was quite spectacular, for a small world, this event wasn’t significant enough to be clear to the entire world.

Besides, at that time, most fortresses were under siege by the Galaxy Mayflies, restricting observation angles, leaving most wizards from other battle zones clueless about the Great Wizard’s fall.

However, not knowing the situation didn’t mean they couldn’t follow orders.

According to the commands of the Battle Zone Command Center, all the war weapons in Fortress 214 were activated. Over fifty thousand White Wizards, along with thousands from the Black Wizard squad, set out from Fortress 214 and headed towards Fortress 414 to rendezvous.

Only ten thousand were left behind at Fortress 214 as the guard troops.

It must be said, this was a highly risky order. But as soldiers, their only duty was to obey.

Rumbling...

With a series of dull thuds, the top of Fortress 214 opened. A massive war airship slowly ascended. Fifty thousand White Wizards, accompanied by five war airships, advanced toward Fortress 414.

Surprisingly, throughout the entire process, not a single Galaxy Mayfly came to interfere.

In the war-ravaged Galaxy World, there were strangely no Galaxy Mayflies around Fortress 214.

Inside the war airship, Rata looked at the battle zone map, pondering over the message behind the command from the Battle Zone Command Center.

"Galaxy Mayfly movements, the wizards of the Third War Zone, Fortress 414..."

Rata’s finger gently slid across the map on the table, abruptly stopping at the edge of the battle zone.

"Keroduo Mountain Area!"

Instantaneously, Rata felt as if he had gone mad. Otherwise, how could he conclude that the Third War Zone was destroyed?

But the cumulative information suggested that this conclusion was highly probable.

Fortress 514 was the closest to the Keroduo Mountain Area, and the closest fortress with wizards stationed from Fortress 514 was 214.

Coupling this with the abrupt retreat of the Galaxy Mayflies that had besieged Fortress 214 three days ago.

Then the wizard army he was about to rendezvous with must have crossed the Keroduo Mountain Area, with a colossal target that even the mountains couldn’t shake the pursuing Galaxy Mayflies off.

An ordinary wizard army couldn’t make so many Mayflies divert.

"Damn it, this is going to be a disaster."

Rata’s face suddenly turned very ugly, fear, anger, frustration—a jumble of emotions squeezed out the place for rationality.

If the Third War Zone was destroyed, then the pressure on the remaining two battle zones would surely intensify.

Both in terms of combat strength and logistical pressures.

But soon, Rata calmed down.

He suddenly realized that for this war, the most critical aspect was the battle between the Great Wizards and the King of Mayfly.

And among the Great Wizards, the Bronze Spear Great Wizard’s combat power ranked near the top. As long as he could defeat the King of Mayfly, the destruction of the Third War Zone wouldn’t matter.

The battlefield was so vast, all they needed was to last until the Great Wizard’s victory.

Soon, a report from the Reconnaissance Wizard, also a Black Wizard, came through the mental network.

"Discovered a massive wizard army estimated at five hundred thousand, being pursued by around six hundred million Mayflies.

My suggestion, just guide them the right way. This army is strong enough to break through the encircling Mayflies."

Hearing the number five hundred thousand, Rata knew his guess was right.

"Okay, I understand."

"Um... Any news from the command center about this number of wizards..."

"No news, but your thoughts are not wrong."

"... Ah, I really hope to live to return."

After notifying the other four legion commanders, Rata then used a spiritual power amplifying device aboard the war airship to multiply his spiritual power several times. He then commanded, "Legion Magic, prepare the Aurora Technique."

Since he was to guide, naturally, he needed to prepare a conspicuous spell.

Before long, Rata saw that army.

A vast, seemingly endless cluster of wizards flying low over the hillock region. They were split into two layers, with massive war airships sandwiched in the middle, resembling the yolk of a hard-boiled egg.

But as strange as this formation was, its combat strength was by no means weak.

"Indeed not ordinary ones, no ordinary ones could have broken out."

Rata exclaimed and then waved his magic wand, releasing the prepared Aurora Technique.

In an instant, a sun-like dazzling light ball exploded in front of the army, illuminating half the sky.

In the center of the army, Richard shielded his eyes, looked at the shining light ball, and revealed a slight smile.

Cheerfully, he communicated through the mental network, "Guys, we’ve arrived!"

...

The breakout process went smoothly, although the Galaxy Mayflies in the First Battle Zone had learned about the Wizard’s breakout from the Third Battle Zone, the timing of their knowledge assured that they would hardly be able to encircle them.

The Wizard followed Rata and easily broke out.

As for the Galaxy Mayflies that pursued them afterward... Fortress 214 was simply too expansive, and without the King of Mayfly to coordinate them, the multitude of Galaxy Mayflies could only slowly exhaust the Wizard.

Millions or billions made no significant difference.

Having stabilized the situation in Fortress 214, Richard’s Communication Crystal Ball successfully received a message from the First Battle Zone Command Center.

"Operator Richard, please come to the First Battle Zone Command Center immediately."

After reading the message in the crystal ball, Richard turned to look at several Black Wizards beside him.

These individuals were elite operators selected from among the Wizards, but they were not from the same batch as him, so their caliber was somewhat lacking.

A nearby Black Wizard, with a smile emanating from his heart, noticed Richard’s gaze and responded with a smile, "It seems that the Master has also received the message to return."

Richard nodded slightly and sighed inwardly.

It seemed that the Star River World might be abandoned.

If it were only him or even Delis, it might have been a notification from the Third Battle Zone Command Center to the First Battle Zone Command Center. But with these Three Rings Wizards included, it could only mean that the Wizards were planning to abandon this world.

These Black Wizards were the first group; next would be the elite White Wizards. Subsequently, the front lines would be contracted until most personnel withdrew.

The final step would be to detonate the weapon known as the Weapon of the End of Days.

However, this had nothing to do with him; leaving the battlefield earlier was undoubtedly a good thing.

Before returning to headquarters, however, he needed to retrieve the equipment stored in the Secret Realm.

The rift in the Secret Realm expanded gradually as Richard infused it with magic power, and armored assault vehicles driven by Fire Lizard Warriors emerged from it.

Even though Richard used the Secret Realm as a warehouse for the Legion, necessary secrecy measures were still in place. The other Wizards had no objections to Richard’s action; when he made this request, they just smiled knowingly.

All were Wizards; everyone had their secrets.

With the last medical support vehicle emerging from the Secret Realm, Richard turned to the White Wizard Commander beside him and joked, "Not a single vehicle is missing, don’t claim I coveted your equipment."

The White Wizard Commander laughed heartily, "The Master is quite humorous. With the Master’s achievements this time, even if you took all these items, they’d just be war attrition."

Saying so, he gestured to his aide to send one medical support vehicle back to the Secret Realm.

Skimming off the top in logistics, a well-known secret among the lower-ranked Wizards in the Military Department. It boiled down to if you don’t take it, how can I? If I don’t take it, how can Commissioner Geng?

But Richard stopped him.

"No need for that," Richard said with a smile, "A slightly damaged thing taken is still taken; this vehicle is still in good condition, taking it would genuinely be a waste."

As he said this, he took out a small component from his pocket and flashed it before the eyes of the White Wizard Commander.

The two shared a knowing smile, and the Commander gestured for his aide to drive the vehicle back.

"Master truly has a generous heart."

Leaving the warehouse, Richard traversed the tunnels towards the First Battle Zone Command Center. On the way, he discovered numerous subtle tunnels heading deep underground.

Upon arriving at the Command Center, the acting Commander of the First Battle Zone personally welcomed Richard.

"I am Claude, the acting Commander of the First Battle Zone. I am delighted to see the Master arrive safely at the First Battle Zone."

Looking at the Wizard before him, whose body had completely transformed into bronze, Richard immediately stepped forward to shake his hand.

Claude earnestly said to Richard, "The Master’s cross-curtain communication device really helped us a lot."

Richard shook his head modestly, "It was merely for self-preservation."

Claude shook his head, "The purpose of the Master doesn’t matter, what’s important is the impact this device has had. Your communication device solved a major problem for us and provided a new line of thought for communication.

In my opinion, awarding the Master another Wizard Hero title wouldn’t be too much."

"Can the Wizard Hero discount stack?" Richard suddenly asked.

"...No."

"Then continue."

Claude continued, "The purpose of asking the Master to return, as you might have guessed with your command capabilities, is that you will return to the Wizard World. If nothing unexpected happens, before becoming a Great Wizard, the Master shouldn’t need to come to the frontlines of the civilization war again."

Claude’s face showed a hint of envy.

Many Wizards were retreating to the rear, but Richard was among the very few given first priority.

Other Wizards, due to urgent military matters, still had to go to the battlefield. But except for an attack on the Wizard World, Richard completely didn’t need to come to the frontlines of the civilization war.

Richard’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Claude’s words.

Not having to go to civilization’s frontlines before becoming a Great Wizard? That was absolutely wonderful.

A Three Rings Wizard, although powerful, was ultimately a pawn. Only by becoming a Great Wizard could one truly have the right to choose. freeweɓnøvel.com

After relaying the message, Claude sent Richard onto the airship returning to the Hub World.

Richard sat in the airship, quietly watching the Teleportation Gate swallow the vessel.
