Chapter 781: Chapter 468: The 2nd Assessment
"The mission has been moved up?"
Walking down the hall, as Mill’s voice fell, the faces of the Wizards around showed surprise.
"Yes, the situation has changed," Mill paused, revealing a bit of information, "The situation at Graham City is very bad, we have to speed up the execution of the plan."
’Graham is located in the Extreme North, how could their situation have anything to do with the mission they are carrying out in the Sea Domain?’
Colin suddenly had such doubts in his mind.
The Wizards present clearly were not the only ones who thought of this.
Beside him, Ryden unconsciously spoke up, "Does the situation in Graham City have something to do with the mission we are carrying out?"
Mill glanced at him, choosing his words carefully, "Indeed, it is related, the plan we are executing this time is just a small part of the entire Solid Wall Plan."
"In Graham City, there are also Wizards carrying out similar missions, and we need to maintain as much synchronization with them as possible."
Apart from when she first came in, this was the first time Mill had shared information about the mission with them.
Though not much information had been revealed, it was at least slightly better than knowing nothing at all.
"But Lord Mill, our training isn’t finished yet, and wasn’t there also an assessment mentioned? If we are to carry out the mission tonight..." Jacqueline asked.
"The training has been moved up to now," Mill replied, looking at the Wizards. She paused and then added,
"Tonight was supposed to be the last training session anyway. Even if it wasn’t moved up, after tonight’s training, we would have to carry out the mission tomorrow."
"As for the assessment, you will naturally come to know about it later, and more information about the mission will also be told to you after this training."
Without waiting for the Wizards to ask further questions, Mill continued, "Alright, let us rush. Everyone, prepare yourselves. Be at the basement in five minutes for the last training session."
After speaking, the Witch’s figure suddenly disappeared, leaving Colin and the others with varied expressions on their faces.
The Wizards glanced at each other, no longer in the mood to talk. Those who needed to pack went back to their rooms, while some Wizards, like Colin and Ryden who did not need to pack, went straight towards the basement.
"Shall we take a look at the garden?" Turning a corner in the corridor, Ryden suddenly proposed.
Colin pondered for a moment and nodded, "We’d better hurry then."
The two exchanged a look and synchronously leaped up, flying rapidly along the corridor towards the garden that overlooked the Sea Domain!
Moments later, they arrived at the castle garden.
Swoosh—
The rush of the flight stirred the colorful flowers in the garden, and Colin and his companion landed, gazing together at the distant Sea Domain.
It was still early morning, the bright sunlight gilding the azure sea. The sea breeze gently blew, and as the waves surged, that golden sheen wrinkled, with the Wizard’s grey-blue fleet quietly floating on the surface, bobbing with the waves.
...
"Has it been confirmed that we’re launching a real total attack tonight?"
On an inconspicuous small island behind the grey-blue fleet,
A brief conversation was underway in the real command post of the front-line Wizards.
"Yes, the Supreme Councilman gave the directive, the situation is urgent, we can’t delay any longer..."
Deputy Commander Hansaer replied solemnly.
Agnes’s expression was stoic, unreadable. As the commander on the front line, his pressure was not small, especially at such a critical time.
But the more so, the more he needed to remain calm.
"Wait until 3 PM to pass down the command for the total attack. Until then, all Wizards maintain vigilance as usual."
"Understood," Hansa replied.
Agnes the Wizard then asked, "How is the Solid Wall Plan preparation coming along?"
"The Wizards responsible for the ’Expanding Wall’ part are ready. We just await the Wizards executing the invasion plan to be ready, then the entire Solid Wall Plan will be completely prepared," Hansa quickly answered.
The Solid Wall Plan was of utmost importance.
The management of the entire plan was exceptionally flat. Apart from the Wizards involved in this mission, only a few high-authority Wizards like them knew about the Solid Wall Plan.
Moreover, the vast majority of the Wizards were unaware of this matter, including those responsible for the total attack tonight. They would only know of tonight’s total attack.
Of course, tonight’s total attack was indeed a real deal. Their target was to successfully seize the three Parra Islands!
...
Graham City.
This city, located in Snow Country and known as Miracle City, was currently enveloped under heavy clouds.
These clouds were both metaphorical and literal.
The lead-grey layers massively accumulated, pressing over the skies of Graham, not only obscuring all sunlight but also bringing harsh cold winds.
The winds were so fierce that normal people, average Knights, even some Wizard Apprentices, could only shrink inside snow houses shivering at this time.
On the north side of Graham, a large group of Wizards gathered, military support from Graham City and other Miracle Cities.
Further off in the fierce snowstorm, Divine shadows roamed, appearing like bloodthirsty sharks in the deep sea, exposing only their fins.
A great battle seemed about to erupt.
"All is lost..."
Close to Graham City, in a hidden command camp covered by the Witch Array, Lentrya, the commanding Wizard from Graham, stood and sighed softly:
