Chapter 309 The Seventh Expeditionary Force
Three months passed in a blink of an eye.
In the academy, in an empty square, a huge floating ark stood quietly in place, surrounded by legions of rune knights arranged in orderly formations, standing ready.
In another area, there are figures wearing wizard robes.
"We're finally setting off!" Looking at the floating ark in front of him and the legion of rune knights around him, Enzo felt a trace of emotion in his heart. His eyes were shining with a hint of inexplicable excitement.
After a three-month deadline, the college finally issued the order for the expedition a week ago!
The teleportation tower of [Elkila World] has been officially completed, and batches of expeditionary troops will be launched into different worlds one after another, starting an expeditionary battle belonging to [Phantom Crows] Academy.
In front, on the surface of the floating ark, the words Seventh Expeditionary Legion were painted.
After a moment of waiting, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a serious face slowly appeared. His figure twisted for a while, and the next moment he appeared at the front.
"Hello, soldiers of the Seventh Expeditionary Force!"
Gustave descended on the square, exuding the unique aura of a second-level wizard. His profound eyes scanned the Rune Knights Army and the wizards around him who were about to go on an expedition. He slowly spoke.
"Everyone must already know about the expedition!"
"I am Gustav, the second-level wizard, the supreme commander of the Seventh Expeditionary Force. Today, I will lead you to [Ai Qila World] to start the expedition!"
"[Phantom of Crows] Wizard Academy has a history of twelve thousand years since its birth!"
"It has cultivated countless strong men for the wizarding world, and has also participated in battles against the Abyss, but it has never launched an expedition against another world before. Today will also be a historic moment for [Phantom of Crows] !”
Gustav's tone was deep, but there was a hint of majesty.
As he spoke, a green crystal ball appeared in his hand, and as a ray of light was projected, a projection appeared in front of the Rune Knights, showing an unknown world.
"[Ekila World], a small plane born 20,000 years ago!"
"It is an unknown land, with resources and opportunities everywhere, always waiting for conquerors. The Seventh Expeditionary Army will represent the will of wizard civilization and shed the glory of wizard civilization in the new world!
Ahead, the projections were constantly changing, showing the [Elkila World] to the expeditionary force.
"Chip, record it!" Enzo ordered in his mind.
The [Elkila World] displayed by the projection is the image recorded by the crystal ball of the first batch of wizards who stepped into that land. Just as Gustave revealed before, [Elkira World] belongs to a forest. world.
The scenes in the picture are basically forest areas.
"Fight! Conquer! Every soldier of the Seventh Expeditionary Force, I hope you will live up to the glory of wizard civilization and achieve destiny-changing feats in [Elkila World]!"
Gustave's tone was raised by three points, and his voice was flat but filled with inspiring magic.
Subsequently, the mobilization before the expedition ended, and the Seventh Expeditionary Army also set foot on the floating ark one after another. Although the expedition was led by wizards, the Rune Knights Army accounted for 80% of the members of the Seventh Expeditionary Army.
"When outsiders step into a different world, they will be suppressed by the rules!"
In a cabin in the floating ark, Enzo sat quietly by the bed, his eyes flashed with thought, and said to himself: "With the physical fitness of ordinary people, once they step into another world, they may not be able to survive for even an hour." To survive, if you want to participate in the expedition, your basic strength requires a third-level apprentice or above."
"And the number of third-level apprentices in any wizard organization will not be too many!"
"Therefore, when the wizarding world goes on expeditions, it mainly relies on the legion of extraordinary knights. Their combat effectiveness is similar to that of a third-level apprentice, but the resources spent on cultivating an extraordinary knight are far less than that of a wizard apprentice."
Since the birth of wizard civilization, it has conquered countless different worlds in its long history.
There are already basic rules for the process of plane expeditions. Pay the minimum price and obtain the maximum resources. This is the guideline of wizard civilization for expeditions!
The resources spent to cultivate an extraordinary knight will not exceed 300 magic stones at most.
The use of extraordinary knights as expeditionary force soldiers is also a recognized method in the wizarding world. Perhaps those extraordinary knights cannot replace high-end combat power, but they are perfect for being sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
According to the levels of wizard civilization, the world is divided into three levels.
Among them, the two top worlds, the abyss world and the wizard world, are called the [civilized world], and the plane next to the civilized world is called the [big world].
As for the ‘Elkila World’, it belongs to a [small world].
In the multiverse, in addition to their own [civilized world], wizards also control countless [small worlds] and [big worlds], one of which is called the [Fortress Big World].
It's also called [War College] or [Knight's Cradle]!
The purpose of the entire [Fortress World] is to cultivate extraordinary knights for wizard civilization. Even the rules of will of the entire world are extremely suitable for the birth of extraordinary knights.
There, almost every human being can become a supernatural knight.
And the people living in [Fortress World] have received education since childhood, with the highest honor of becoming extraordinary knights and following the wizard civilization on expeditions!
Each of the Rune Knights of the Seventh Expeditionary Legion is recruited from [Fortress World]!
Of course, recruiting extraordinary knights as an expeditionary force is not without cost. The senior leaders of [Phantom of Crows] Academy first need to apply to the [Northern Council], and only after receiving permission can they recruit soldiers in [Fortress World].
And every time a transcendent knight is recruited, the academy needs to pay a magic stone as a commission to the Wizards Council that rules [Fortress World].
Extraordinary knights of different natures require different prices.
Among them, there are the most numerous Rune Knights in [Fortress World], and their combat power is equivalent to that of a third-level apprentice. Each recruitment requires 500 magic stones as a commission, and the price of a Rune Knight who has reached the first level of life form is even more expensive.
This magic stone is not paid to the knight himself, but to the knight academy that cultivates them.
Recruiting knights in this way to form an expeditionary legion can often minimize the cost of the expedition and reduce the death probability of wizard apprentices, allowing the wizard academy to retain more power to rule the new world after the expedition is over.
