After a pause, Rodrigo’s voice rose slightly, and his tone became more impassioned, “Because Ravensmouth College has yet to demonstrate the ability to take on command of a war zone on the battlefield. But I believe that this time, if our army group can completely conquer this tough challenge without the help of other power group armies, the wartime and war zone command authority for Ravensmouth College will naturally follow.”
Link’s heart raced with fear at these words.
What the hell is he planning to do?
What the hell, is he planning to just go ahead with it, rules be damned?
If this is how we fight, even if we manage to win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory at best!
The various legions of the army group will have to endure untold casualties.
It might even result in the complete annihilation of our forces!
Just look at Sinrich Sage next door with his grief-stricken face.
He and his Sinrich Sage Legion lost at least a third of their strength just from one mission behind enemy lines.
Not to mention morale, which is surely at rock bottom by now.
Link certainly didn’t want himself and his Grande Sage Army to end up like Sinrich Sage and his Sinrich Sage Legion.
He believed that there were many legion commanders who felt the same way.
Unfortunately, no legion commander dared to voice an opposing view.
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey! Rodrigo Diomand was probably just waiting for dissenters to emerge, to make an example of them and thus solidify his authority and control over the army group.
“Since everyone agrees with my idea, then let our army group’s thoughts unite on this. I will assign tasks to follow, and all legions, all legion commanders, must complete them strictly, promptly, with no cut corners, no delays!”
“Yes!”
What else could the legion commanders say? They could only respond in unison.
Even the three level six sages did the same.
The next half-hour passed with Rodrigo Diomand personally assigning tasks to each legion.
Perhaps Dean Frist had advised him, or maybe Link still had a significant role to play in the future developments of Ravensmouth College, Rodrigo did not give Link and the Grande Sage Army tasks that were too demanding.
One might even say that the Grande Sage Army received an easy job.
An army marches on its stomach.
For the Ravensmouth College Army Group to fight a major battle, logistics are of paramount importance.
The Grande Sage Army was assigned to patrol the logistics supply route, along with two level five legions and five fourth level sage legions, to defend the safety of the supply lines.
After leaving the army group flagship and returning to the level five Starry Fortress that served as the Grande Sage Army’s flagship, Link immediately issued the new orders.
The Grande Sage Army sprang into action.
For three rounds, without sparing Magic Stones, it poured all remaining “firepower” on the Divine Civilization World’s pursuers, who were still tangled with the Grande Sage Army, and made a swift escape, charging towards their own occupied star region.
After a brief rest and resupply, they took on the role of patrolling the logistics supply route.
The legions that received combat orders one after another departed for the designated star areas near the battlefront line to prepare for the impending war.
The movements on the Wizard Civilization World’s side could not be completely hidden from the Divine Civilization World.
Even though Ravensmouth College Army Group put up some deceptive measures and launched several “smoke bombs.”
The Divine Civilization World quickly responded, dispatching waves of reinforcements near the battlefront line, standing off while making other preparations.
The decisive battle was not going to erupt immediately.
In the early stage, the focus was on mutual probing, along with some reconnaissance of the battle situation, as well as something every commander at any level would do:
Severing the enemy’s supply line!
In the blink of an eye, half a month whisked by since Rodrigo Diomand had proposed a great annihilation battle to showcase Ravensmouth College’s capabilities.
The Grande Sage Army had been patrolling Ravensmouth College Army Group’s “lifeline” for thirteen days now.
During this period, Link led the Grande Sage Army to repel three elite squad attempts by the Divine Civilization World to disrupt the Wizard Civilization World’s supply line.
Although they didn’t kill any gods on par with Fourth Level Sages, the results were still commendable.
Additionally, they had assisted other fourth level sage legions twice.
As time passed, the atmosphere within the army group and the legions grew increasingly tense.

The preparations were complete, and with the results of the probing in, all wizards knew that the ultimate battle was about to begin.
In the pursuit of victory, both sides would inevitably shed their “understanding” and no longer standoff “gently,” but instead fight “cruelly.”
Even though this battle was destined from the start to be a fair fight where both sides would form ranks before engaging, neither commander would give up the thought of achieving victory through the use of “surprise forces.”
“Surprise forces” could refer to a spare force that plays a crucial role at the right moment, or it could be the reserve team.
In critical moments, cutting off the enemy’s “supply routes” is the wonderful role of the spare force;
During the final battle, pulling troops guarding the “supply routes” is the reserve team.
The Grande Sage Army, alongside two other Level Five Legions and five Fourth Level Legions, obtained a new designation, the Third Reserve Team.
Given the scale of this battle, as well as Rodrigo Diomand’s strong will to win, Link believed that the Grande Army would inevitably have to enter the fray.
For various reasons, the Grande Sage Army began to continuously practice different contingencies devised by the staff office combined with the intelligence department, the three main forces, and the Personal Guard Army during their cruise.
How to chase when holding an advantage, how to strive to reverse the situation when at a disadvantage, how to assault, how to raid, how to resist head-on, how to outflank, and…
Most importantly, maneuvering!
Inside the Grande Sage Army, Link did not shy away from repeatedly emphasizing the idea that “if the land is lost but the people are saved, then both can be recovered; if the people are lost but the land is saved, then both are lost.”
This was not a sign of cowardice.
The Grande Sage Army also had an all-out Plan Zero contingency.
This was merely an attempt to avoid all unnecessary sacrifices.
Link did not want to risk losing the Grande Sage Army—which he, Jasmine, Sandra, Lanny, Tiffany, and the others had poured their heart and soul into—after just one battle.
Without them, a comeback for Link would not be so simple.
“Do Anything Freely” was already capable of “transfusing” Link, yet it was still immature and needed development.
The three worlds received from Great Sage Rosenthal had limited output.
The greatest change in thousands of years had already arrived, and Link did not have much time to develop slowly.
Hence, in this battle, he had to commit his strength, display his abilities, but also preserve his own forces!
However, preserving strength too had its tricks; he couldn’t afford to make the situation look too bad and give others a handle to criticize.
About this, Link pondered repeatedly, trying to eliminate any and all oversights.
“Legion Commander, everything is ready.”
The words of Head Steward Lynn Hewitt interrupted Link’s train of thought.
“Then let’s depart.”
Link came to his senses and issued the order.
This was the Grande Sage Army’s last “supply route” patrol mission.
Once this patrol was completed, the Grande Sage Army would join the Third Reserve Team, preparing to be called into battle at any moment.
Upon the command, the Grande Sage Army’s Interstellar Fleet set sail, following the designated route.
Not to mention the elite squads from the Divine Civilization World that had tried to sabotage the “supply route” a while before and whom the Grande Sage Army had encountered.
Even without that encounter, Link would never be careless.
In any universe, in any world, the number of people who died on the battlefield due to complacency was not small.
Link did not want to be one of those fools.
During this final patrol, not only was Link extremely vigilant and cautious, he also ordered the army to be battle-ready and not to be negligent.
Thus, when faced with an unexpected “blockade”—a formal army from the Divine Civilization World equivalent in size to a Level Five Sage Army from the Wizard Civilization World—the Grande Sage Army, despite immense pressure, did not fall into disarray.
“A bunch of idiots!”
Link cursed the allies whose position had been exposed on the front line without expecting that the decisive battle had yet to start, and now he had to fight for his life, “Utter stupidity!”
After cursing, Link immediately responded, “Call for help! Ready for battle! Plan Zero!”
When braving a narrow path, the brave prevails.
It’s a fight!
