Fighting Alone
Saine alone can lead dozens of apprentices, or even hundreds, in a chaotic melee. →
However, in a war involving thousands or even tens of thousands of apprentices on both sides, his individual strength seemed insignificant and powerless.
After all, Saine was just a magic apprentice.
Let alone being able to defeat a thousand or ten thousand men, even if he faced a hundred apprentices, it would be difficult for Saine to charge head-on. He could only choose to flank and attack from the side to wear down the hundred apprentices.
The apprentice battle at the Black Tomb Forest Resource Point had only been going on for three days when most of the advanced-level Azure Source Holy Tower apprentices, including Saine and Daniel, realized one thing—they couldn't hold it.
The gap between the quantity and quality of apprentices cannot be bridged by a single Peak Apprentice.
Furthermore, there are also Peak Apprentice at the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower.
The guy named Gade, as soon as he arrived at this battlefield, fixed his eyes on Saine.
They didn't give Saine any chance to flank or harass them.
Furthermore, Gade wasn't the only magic apprentice eyeing Saine at the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower.
More than twenty Quasi-Magician and hundreds of Advanced Apprentice are all focused on one person—what despair and helplessness that must be!
The Golden Light Pillar that lingered around his body meant that as soon as Saine flew out of the resource point, dozens or even hundreds of magical attacks came straight at him.
No matter how many Magic Shield Saine had, they couldn't last more than a few seconds before shattering.
There's really no need to continue this battle. →
Because there was simply no way to turn the tide.
"Let's retreat. Let's go back to our own Apprentice Zone."
"We have been operating and developing the various resource point camps in the Apprentice Zone of the Azure Source Holy Tower for a long time."
"Not only is the strength of the magical restrictions greater, but the total strength we have after withdrawing to our own Apprentice Zone is also stronger than here," Daniel said first.
Daniel's statement was undoubtedly the most rational advice.
Anna was also biting her lower lip at this moment. She wanted to continue fighting, but doing so would not be in line with the calmness and rationality that Spellcaster are usually known for.
Continuing to stubbornly persist will only lead to a slow death, and this has nothing to do with whether Saine is Peak Apprentice or not; he has already done his best.
Anna remained silent, as did the other Advanced Apprentice and several Quasi-Magician, who all kept their heads down in silence.
The sounds of elemental explosions and magical bombardments have been relentless at the Black Tomb Forest Resource Point for the past three days.
Fortunately, the Black Tomb Forest Resource Point is located at the intersection of two rivers, a rather unique geographical location, making it difficult for the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower to completely surround them.
Otherwise, if it were Large Resource Point like the Lanxi Grass Basin, even if Saine and the others wanted to retreat, the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower probably wouldn't let them break through easily.
Since none of them spoke, Daniel turned his gaze to Saine.
Whether considering personal strength or command ability over this period of time, if there is one person who can make decisions for all the apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower, that person is undoubtedly Saine.
Not only Anna, but also the vast majority of other Quasi-Magician and Advanced Apprentice trusted Saine's decision.
After all, he is a hero, a role model.
Furthermore, according to the requirements of the dean and Grade Director at the pre-battle mobilization meeting, Saine also had full authority to command all apprentices.
Faced with Daniel's questioning gaze, after a long silence, Saine removed his mask and looked at the group in front of him, saying, "Withdraw to the Apprentice Zone of Azure Source Holy Tower? And then what, wait for the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower to sweep through?"
"While this approach allows us to hold out longer in the Trial Space, it ultimately cannot prevent the loss of many of our resource points."
"Perhaps we can hold onto a few resource points like the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower and the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower."
"But look at the attitude of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, does it seem like they intend to let us go?" Saine said, pointing outside.
Saine's words caused Daniel and the others to fall silent.
In fact, it wasn't that the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower was unwilling to let go of the Azure Source Holy Tower, but rather that Heart of the Earth Gade and the vast majority of advanced and above apprentices of the Earth Holy Tower Academy were unwilling to let go of Saine.
As long as Saine remains in the Trial Space, the top spot on the Regional Academy War Individual Scoreboard will have nothing to do with the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower or Gade himself.
Therefore, no matter which resource point Saine is at, the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower will undoubtedly launch a relentless attack.
Gade Heart of the Earth, is the one who most wants to defeat Saine.
With the defeat of the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower's apprentice team, this Regional Academy War left only one goal for Gade and the vast majority of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower's Advanced Apprentice —to eliminate Saine!
"So tell me, what should we do?" Daniel asked first, looking up at Saine.
"It's not about what you should do, but what I should do." Saine sighed, then put the Sun's Eye Mask back on his face.
Several people were surprised.
Amidst looks of surprise or emotion, Saine slowly said, "I plan to leave the Black Tomb Forest Resource Point alone and head deep into the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower and the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower."
"Once I leave this resource point, the attack intensity of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower apprentice team on this place will definitely be greatly reduced, because they will not need to fight to the death here."
"Almost all of our elite apprentices from the Azure Source Holy Tower are here. Even if we forcibly take the Black Tomb Forest Resource Point, the losses to the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower will not be small."
"Besides, I believe that once I leave, a large number of advanced students from the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower will come after me."
"This Golden Light Pillar is the best compass for them."
"Hehe, you may not know this, but before this, I had already been chased by the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower for a while," Saine said with a light laugh.
Saine's words commanded the respect of all the apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower present.
Whether it was attracting the firepower of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower when he went out, or being chased by many senior and above apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, it all marked that Saine was different from ordinary apprentices.
Furthermore, if Saine really intends to do this, from any perspective, these apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower seem to owe Saine a favor.
"But won't it be dangerous for you to go out alone?" Anna couldn't help but ask.
"No, continuing to hold out in one resource point is the greatest danger for me."
"Moreover, I don't intend to leave the Trial Space in such a cowardly manner. The vast world of the Trial Space is the stage for me to unleash my power."
"It might be a bit tiring, because when I'm meditating or in a light sleep state, I have to worry about whether an apprentice has gotten close to me."
"Fortunately, I have this," Saine said, pointing to his Crystal Ball ball.
For an ordinary person, breaking through to face the combined attacks of all the apprentices in the Trial Space, except for those from the Azure Source Holy Tower, is indeed an unimaginable feat.
But it seems that this is indeed the only way now.
Daniel nodded first, acknowledging Saine's decision, followed by Anna, though her brows betrayed her concern for Saine.
Saine himself felt no psychological pressure. Before leaving, Saine said to Daniel and Anna, "Try to take care of Serena for me. If things really get to the point of no return, it's better for her to escape the Trial Space than for her to perish here."
