Chapter 22 Breakout 2

Ben was surprised to hear that, Richard has been promoted to a second-level wizard. If the information is correct, Richard is only sixteen years old this year. Such a young second-level wizard has the potential to become a high-level wizard in the future, and may even be promoted to a legendary wizard.

However, Richard is only a newly promoted second-level wizard now. Even if he is promoted to a legendary wizard in the future, it has nothing to do with Ben. Wizards believe in interests above all else. What Ben is thinking about is whether Richard is worth his efforts.

"I will let you join the breakout team, but even I can't guarantee that you will be able to break out."

Ban finally decided to do Richard a favor. After all, all he had done was a small effort, just a matter of saying a few words in the military deployment. If Richard survived, he would remember this favor.

Richard bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Lord Military Commander."

Ben took away all the valuable items in the workshop, and did not leave any divine power crystals behind. However, Richard still had a divine power crystal in his hand, which he had obtained from the previous cleaning mission.

After Ben left, Richard felt deeply powerless. Now he was only a second-level wizard. Faced with such a crisis, he had to gain more powerful strength if he wanted to survive.

……

On the newly built wall of the Green Flag Camp, Richard stood in a wizard robe. The newly built wall was already full of potholes. The khaki wall had been stained with black and red blood, and the groans of injured soldiers could be heard from time to time.

There were piles of corpses of Ouyun people under the city wall. The soldiers on the wall were pouring kerosene down and burning them. The stench from the burning corpses made Richard feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the bloody scene, Chief Richard breathed a sigh of relief to ease his own discomfort. The attack by the Ouyun people in the morning had been repelled, and the Green Flag Camp also had a brief respite.

Richard was recruited by the military to repair the city walls for the Green Flag Camp.

"Level 1 earth element magic, earth wall."

This is a relatively useless magic at ordinary times. After all, if a wall of earth is built, the enemy can just go around it. It is only useful when repairing city walls or in narrow terrain.

Under Richard's spell, earth walls filled the potholes in the city wall. Richard was now a second-level wizard, and he could cast the earth wall spell no more than twenty times, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the wall of the entire camp.

Richard did not hide the news that he had been promoted to a second-level wizard. After casting the Earth Wall spell twenty times in a row, his magical power was almost exhausted. His spiritual power was still okay because it could be shared with the Tiger God's body.

Back at the wizard camp, Richard began to think about how to increase his survival rate.

It would be unlikely to be promoted to a third-level wizard in a short period of time. After accumulating the power of faith for a year, Richard was still severely damaged in his mental strength under the attack of the divine power crystal. Although the believers of the Tiger Tribe can provide the power of faith more efficiently now, Richard feels that it is still far from enough.

There should be a Qinghe tribe near the Tiger tribe, and the population of the tribe should be much larger than that of the Tiger tribe. However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and it is impossible for one to gain a large amount of power of faith overnight.

Richard analyzed and concluded that the only way to improve himself in a short period of time was to learn new magic and obtain magic equipment.

It wasn't long since he was promoted to a second-level wizard and was able to learn a lot of new elementary magic. There were still many magics that Richard wanted to learn, but Richard had not originally thought that he would be able to be promoted to a second-level wizard so quickly. He only prepared two new second-level magics, double fireball and ice armor.

Fire and ice are also the two elements with the highest affinity for Richard. The effects of Richard casting fire and ice magic are better than casting other magic, so the two second-level magics that Richard prepared for himself are fire and ice magic.

Faced with the dilemma, Richard ran to the market to look for something, but unfortunately, the originally bustling market had become deserted because the military had requisitioned supplies, and many shops had closed directly.

Even the Futong Chamber of Commerce, which Richard thought was the most promising, was closed. After asking other shops, Richard learned that the people of the Futong Chamber of Commerce had temporarily joined the army. Richard guessed that the Futong Chamber of Commerce must be more powerful, and the Green Flag Army did not dare to offend it too much, so they let the people of the Futong Chamber of Commerce join the breakout team.

Richard searched the scattered shops and found a lot of strange things. He also bought a lot of dry food. Unfortunately, the only magic that Richard was interested in was a first-level magic of wind element called lightness, which he could learn and could increase his speed slightly for ten minutes.

Richard spent ten gold coins to get the magic book that recorded the art of lightness. Since he couldn't survive anyway, the gold coins were completely worthless. On the contrary, the merchants who were still operating in the market could not take the gold coins to the grave even if they earned a lot.

However, Richard soon discovered that these merchants were not greedy for money. They gave all the gold coins they earned to the officers of the Green Flag Army, probably asking them to take the gold coins to their relatives so that they could get some gold coins for their relatives before they died.

Richard shook off his messy thoughts and returned to the wizard camp.

Richard told Hansen to prepare horses and dry food for the breakout, and to be ready to break out at any time. He then returned to his tent to learn the art of lightness, while using his gift of multitasking meditation to restore his magic power.

At two o'clock in the morning, Richard suddenly felt that the originally quiet wizard camp had become noisy. Not long after, Hansen opened Richard's tent and said in an urgent tone: "Sir Richard, the military has asked us to gather immediately and prepare to break out."

Richard jumped out of bed and quickly packed up the tent and sleeping bag with Hansen. Other things had been prepared long ago. Richard put the magic book of light body technique into the magic sealing box. The magic book was also made of magic materials. After sealing his own magic materials, Pine and the other five knights were also ready.

Richard brought six knights and followed the military to the city wall. Many soldiers had already arrived here and formed different teams. Richard and others followed the military to a thin officer.

Richard saluted the thin officer and said, "Richard, the senior non-commissioned officer of the Green Flag Army Wizard Corps, is reporting in."

The thin officer returned the salute, looked Richard over, and said to him, "Sergeant Richard, please go to Team Number Three."

"Yes."

Richard brought Hansen and others to Team No. 3 and was surprised to find that George was also in Team No. 3, so Richard walked towards George.
