Chapter 844 -19 Turn! Turn!_2
Having spoken, Franda felt she couldn’t appear too incompetent, so she quickly added, “But Franda can bring things in, and can also take things out.”
As her words ended, Franda looked at “Link” with pitiful eyes, as if fearing a scolding from her master.
Her acting was on the rise.
“I see.”
Link didn’t mean to blame Franda; he was just curious to know the reason, “Do you know why this is happening?”
“I do.”
Franda obediently nodded her little head.
Then she raised her small hand and conjured six images.
Link looked at them and found that the content of three images was related to “him”.
One image showed the Longevity Peach Tree in Death Valley;
one showed the Taoism group that was about to arrive at the Capital City;
and one showed Li Shuwen in Octagon Martial Arts School in Fuli County, looking up at the sky.
The other three images, unrelated to “him”, Link intuitively felt, were similar to the Longevity Peach, all created by the standout survivors among the stranded Wizard Apprentices.
From this, Link realized that in order to completely control the Human Immortal Martial World, he still had a few things to do.
First was to deal with the traces left by that group of Wizard Apprentices;
Second was to handle the Taoism group;
Third was to have a proper talk with Li Shuwen.
These three things were actually not difficult, they just needed some time.
Currently, Link was at the front line of the battlefield between the Wizard Civilization and Divine Civilization, and naturally, he couldn’t spare much time.
“Just wait a bit longer.”
Link made a decision and instructed Franda to pay attention to any unusual movements in the Human Immortal Martial World, then his consciousness withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness.
It seemed like in the blink of an eye, time had slipped away.
When the time came to perform the mission, the well-prepared Grande Sage Army set out according to the plan.
When a lion hunts a rabbit, it still uses all its strength.
Especially since the enemy the Wizard Civilization faced was not a rabbit, but a tiger or leopard just as ferocious as the lion itself.
Even though Link’s responsibility wasn’t the highly dangerous task of infiltration behind enemy lines, but merely support, he still dared not be careless.
Thus, the Grande Sage Army mobilized in full, leaving only an empty camp behind.
In the vastness of space, the Grande Sage Army’s interstellar fleet had been in Stealth Mode from the beginning.
The Magic Stones burned like water.
Even if the Magic Stones that powered the Starry Fortress and interstellar battleship were mostly Energy Storage Magic Stones that absorbed and stored the light and heat of stars, rather than the natural Magic Stones that Wizards could directly use.
This was still a considerable expense.
Purchasing, maintenance, repairs, and updates for the Energy Storage Devices required Magic Stones.
Energy Storage Magic Stones would also wear out during the continuous process of energy storage and release.
The bad news was that the full-speed travel under Stealth Mode consumed and wore out the Energy Storage Magic Stones greatly.
The good news was that the academy and the Group Army would reimburse some of the costs.
After a day and a half, the Grande Sage Army reached the coordinates designated by the Group Army Staff Department, lying in wait quietly, ready to meet the friendly forces that completed the infiltration mission behind enemy lines.
This wait lasted seven days.
During these seven days, everyone in the Grande Sage Army stayed at their posts without moving an inch.
They were like wooden statues.
Fortunately, they were all Wizards who could finely control their physical bodies.
Even after seven days and nights without sleeping, eating, or moving, they felt only a slight discomfort which did not affect their work performance.
In the command cabin of the fifth-level Starry Fortress, Link sat in his seat, focusing intently on the huge screen in front of him, monitoring the movements in the surrounding star regions.
Suddenly, a small red dot appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.
“All units, prepare for Plan Three.”
Link immediately spoke, issuing the command.
The Grande Sage Army woke up from their silent state with a roar and began to move according to Plan Three, which they had practiced many times.
The mission details sent down by the Group Army Headquarters mentioned that the friendly forces responsible for infiltration behind enemy lines would send a signal upon reaching this star region and breaking away from the Divine Civilization front lines.
Green meant all was well with no pursuit behind;
Yellow meant intelligence was fully collected, but with pursuers posing a low threat behind;
Red indicates that everything is going wrong and they are being relentlessly pursued.
In response to these three signals, the Grande Sage Army had devised five contingency plans.
Plan One and Plan Two correspond to green and yellow signals, respectively.
Plan Three, Four, and Five are for the red signal.
Among them, Plan Three is the most aggressive yet prudent, aiming to utilize the legion’s powerful capability to breach enemy lines and repel the pursuing forces of the Divine Civilization World during the rescue mission.
In a split second, Link made a decision to enact Plan Three for his reasons.
Firstly, his senses and the legion’s monitoring indicated that the friendly forces behind enemy lines were not in an optimistic situation at that moment;
Secondly, his intuition told him that a significant force was approaching behind the pursuers.
In such a situation, if they wanted to complete the rescue mission, they could not afford to dilly-dally; they had to act fast and decisively.
“Send a message to our allies, ordering them to clear the attack path and then return directly without lingering,” he said.
Link rose from his seat and, while issuing the command, moved to where the Personal Guard Army was stationed.
He was prepared to shift from the role of Commander to that of a combatant, ready to strike at any moment.
Lynn Hewitt, the Head Steward, faithfully executed Link’s orders and rapidly communicated with the beleaguered allies fleeing the Divine Civilization lines through the established signal channels.
The tattered remnants of the allied force, consisting of a single damaged Starry Fortress and two main warships, received this message like a gift from heaven.
They hurriedly cleared the way, making a detour around the Grande Sage Army and leaving behind the star region on the verge of a significant battle without a second glance.
At the same time, a message of thanks was sent to the Grande Sage Army’s fifth-level Starry Fortress.
Link did not attend to these messages but instead had Lynn Hewitt send a request for reinforcements to Group Army Headquarters.
Of course, the situation had not escalated to a point where reinforcements were necessary.
But it is a crying child who gets the milk.
Whether or not he truly needed aid, Link decided to request it first.
When the reinforcements arrived, they could just symbolically storm the Divine Civilization front lines and turn the tables on the pursuers.
No sooner said than done.
The brief interval used to send messages afforded the Grande Sage Army, which had been preparing for a long time, a chance to initiate a swift and ferocious attack.

Regrettably, the full onslaught of the Starry Fortress and interstellar battleships did not yield much in terms of victory.
As seasoned rivals and archenemies, the Divine Civilization World was well-acquainted with the strength of the Wizard Civilization World.
Even though they had the upper hand and were relentlessly pursuing, they remained vigilant.
The Divine Civilization World’s pursuers either dodged or withstood the attacks, thoroughly defending against the Grande Sage Army’s assault.
Through the Reconnaissance Magic Tools scattered throughout the corners of the star region, Link witnessed the entire scene, his pupils constricting.
He had met his match!
The opposing commander was cautious, and their legion’s combat strength was high.
The Grande Sage Army’s Plan Three had proved ineffective.
On the battlefield, situations can change in the blink of an eye.
Faced with such a tricky situation, Link had no time for hesitation, nor was there any need for it.
“Execute Plan Five,” he ordered resolutely, changing the combat strategy.
Plan Five, in brief, was to fight while retreating, drawing the enemy deeper into their territory.
Conveniently, he had just sent a call for reinforcements to Group Army Headquarters.
If the reinforcements arrived quickly and coordinated well, they might be able to eliminate the Divine Civilization World’s legion before them.
Under Link’s will, the Grande Sage Army rapidly adapted its battle style, shifting from the initial plan to strike hard and high to one of gradual retreat.
They truly embodied the approach: aggressive as fire when advancing and swift as wind when changing course.
Unfortunately, the opposing commander didn’t take the bait and didn’t fly into a rage from the frustration of a duck slipping away. Quite restrained, they halted their pursuit and kept their forces along the boundary line of the two armies.
“Legion Commander, what shall we do next?” Lynn Hewitt, the Head Steward, promptly stepped forward, voicing the question that the staff, the three main groups, and the Personal Guard Army were all eager to have answered.
“What shall we do?” Link’s lips curled into a grin. “The mission has been accomplished, of course, it’s time to retreat.”
Wasn’t the Grande Sage Army’s mission to assist the allied forces penetrating the enemy’s rear?
Now that the allies had successfully returned, and with the enemy being cautious, strong, and with major reinforcements on their heels, why should the Grande Sage Army remain in this place?
Link gestured grandly, issuing the latest command:
“Change course!”
