Chapter 18
End of the Trip
For the past thirty days, the sailors on the ship had been living in peace due to the threat of force, but Ikidan, as the leader of the sailors, never dared to relax his vigilance.
Perhaps right now, these sailors with knightly skills are very powerful compared to these wizard apprentices who don't know witchcraft, but what about in the future?
When these wizard apprentices truly master witchcraft, they will be able to kill any knight with ease, and they have unlimited potential for development—a fact that all wizard apprentices are well aware of.
Even if these knights manage to advance to the rank of legendary knight, they will ultimately only become servants of a powerful wizard in order to gain even greater power.
Just like the legendary knight Baron before, and even the legendary knight Boatswain now, they have all become servants of the great wizard.
Ultimately, this is a world ruled by wizards!
It was precisely because he understood this that Ikidan knew that although his group of sailors was far stronger than the small group of wizard apprentices, the other side looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts and even rejected them.
This is a feeling of resisting those who are different.
Therefore, Ikidan never dared to relax, especially not the five great spellcasters among the wizard apprentices.
Even though the so-called five great sorcerers and five heavenly kings possessed witchcraft that would be laughable to a true wizard apprentice, they still had the power to easily kill an ordinary knight.
Today, when Amrond announced the official formation of the Bloodsail Alliance, Ikidan's heart skipped a beat.
broken!
Without a second thought, Ikidan instantly drew his longsword, ignoring his still-frightened, clueless subordinates behind him, and roared, "What the hell? What Bloodsail Alliance? Without the consent of our sailors, your Bloodsail Alliance will not be established today!"
With that, Ikidan coldly addressed the hesitant wizard apprentices, "Anyone who dares to join will be killed without exception by the Sailors!"
Although Ikidan trembled with fear, he forced a fierce expression on his face and glared menacingly at the hesitant wizard apprentices.
Perhaps we can't stop these wizard apprentices from forming an alliance in the future, but we must stop them now, or we sailors will surely die!
At this moment, the sailors behind Ikidan finally reacted, picked up their weapons, stood beside Ikidan, and glared fiercely at the opposing wizard apprentice camp.
Correspondingly.
The five spellcasters from the wizard apprentice camp stood at the front, with their squad members standing behind them, all brandishing their weapons and staring intently at the sailors.
Amrond stared at Ikidan and said coldly, "Today, five men from your sailor squad must be thrown into the sea! If the five of us are together, you're doomed to lose!"
"You're welcome to give it a try."
Ikidan refused to back down.
"Hmph! Do you think the wizard apprentices on this ship are still the same kids they were a month ago?"
Amrond snorted coldly, and the blue gemstone ring on his left hand flashed slightly. With a spell, a golden lightsaber floated in front of his chest and disappeared in the next moment.
puff!
Ikidan barely dodged the lightsaber's fatal attack, but a bloody gash appeared on his right shoulder. At the same time, almost like a phantom, the white puppet swiftly ripped out the sailor captain's heart.
The white doll is only a little over half a meter tall, and its entire body is covered in white, giving it a pure and innocent look.
However, it was clutching a bloody heart in its hand, which was still beating.
The doll, clutching its heart, let out an innocent giggle like a little girl. As it watched the sailors rushing towards it in fear and anger, the doll fled like a naughty child who had stolen candy.
With a "thud," the sailor captain, having lost his heart, collapsed.
On the other side, Green and Joclis worked in perfect unison towards a sailor bound by vines. Joclis blocked the other sailors who came to his rescue, while Green's eyes flashed coldly, and he cleanly and swiftly slit the sailor's neck with his dagger.
boom!
A blazing fireball...
A moment later, a large group of wizard apprentices surrounded the sailor who was still standing, and many of the wizard apprentices were excited.
The excitement stemmed not only from the fact that these wizard apprentices would no longer have to risk their lives in battle for the next three days, but also from the fact that through this great battle, all the wizard apprentices had truly glimpsed the immense power possessed by some wizard apprentices.
This power, belonging to the wizards, was something the knights simply could not resist.
This is a sublime power!
Five of the weakest wizard apprentices and a dozen or so support staff could easily defeat more than twenty strong knights!
Once they arrive at the wizarding academy, these wizarding apprentices, who have undergone countless life-or-death trials, will inevitably absorb any power that can enhance their strength in the fastest and most efficient way, thus gaining a completely transformed new life.
No one doubts that!
In this battle, four sailors died, seven were seriously wounded, nine were slightly wounded, and one was unconscious.
All the surviving sailors were bound hand and foot with ropes by the wizard apprentices.
The wizard apprentices also paid a price.
Green was unharmed, but Joklis suffered minor injuries. Several careless members of the other spellcaster squads even died, as those strong and robust sailors had truly fought desperately in the final stages.
Seeing so many wizard apprentices eagerly joining the Bloodsail Alliance, the five spellcasters couldn't help but show a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Amrand sighed, "It's a pity, a few more died."
Everyone was stunned, but at this point they no longer paid attention to these minor details.
Among the core members, several relatively weaker witch apprentices recorded the names of those who signed up to join the alliance and informed them of the responsibilities and obligations they should fulfill after joining.
The occasional bursts of hearty laughter from wizard apprentices echoed from the deck, a welcome respite from the oppressive atmosphere on the ship.
"Haha, weren't you so arrogant before calling us 'meat pigs'? Why aren't you arrogant anymore? Hahaha..."
……
The next morning, the Masked Wizard of No Form still let out that same ear-piercing shriek.
"Hehehehe, it seems there have been quite a few changes on the ship. Not bad, not bad, there are actually ten fewer."
The group of wizard apprentices were full of energy and confidence, no longer as indifferent and ruthless as before. They seemed to be bound together by some force, although it did not look very solid.
Yunli and Bibi Leona had no reaction to the numerous wizard apprentices who had now formed a united front on the deck.
For these two, their talents were treated like treasures once discovered by the wizards, and coupled with their ability to easily kill others, they never experienced the cruelty of being a lowly wizard apprentice.
On the contrary, Solangm, the mysterious fellow, seemed very curious about the newly formed alliance on the ship, glancing at the five spellcasters from time to time.
The boatswain's face was extremely grim, because almost all the sailors on the ship were his former subordinates, but now they were like meat on the chopping block for these wizard apprentices, and could be thrown overboard at any moment.
Amidst the diverse reactions of the group, the Faceless One suddenly addressed the Bloodsail Alliance wizard apprentices, saying, "However, I have some bad news for you..."
The word "bad" was deliberately drawn out.
The once energetic and confident wizard apprentices suddenly changed their expressions, staring intently at the evil, perverted, cruel, and terrifying wizard, fearing that he might say something outrageous.
Subconsciously, everyone distanced themselves from the other wizard apprentices around them, fearing that some uncontrollable accident might happen at any moment.
"The bad news is... hehehe, hehehehe..."
Amidst the wizard's eerie laughter and the tense fear of his apprentices, the Masked One proclaimed loudly, "We will arrive at the Black Tower Wizarding Academy on the Wizarding Continent this evening. So, those sailors you captured will probably be useless. Hehehe, hehehehe, how about it? Disappointed?"
Upon hearing this, almost all the wizard apprentices felt an urge to go crazy.
If they weren't too weak, some hot-tempered guys would definitely have rushed up and slapped this old man to death.
However, after calming down, a sense of excitement finally arose in everyone's hearts. Were we finally getting close to the wizarding academy?
Each time they watched their fellow apprentices being thrown into the sea, every wizard apprentice present swore to themselves that they would learn powerful witchcraft and take control of their own destiny!
The brutal fighting that took place on the ship over the past month has left an indelible mark on the lives of almost all the wizard apprentices.
However, these battles also tempered the surviving wizard apprentices, teaching them the cruelty and preciousness of the wizarding path, enabling them to go further than others in the future.
On this day, the wizard apprentices were all on the deck, gazing into the distance.
Gradually, more ships appeared around us, and the horizon began to look somewhat different.
As evening fell, the sun began to set.
As the boatswain skillfully dropped anchor, the ship, which had been sailing on the endless sea for more than two months, finally arrived at an unfamiliar port. Amid the uncontrollable excitement of the many wizard apprentices, countless black crows suddenly emerged from beneath the robes of the Masked Wizard, slowly lifting him up.
"Hehehehehe, little ones, welcome to the great Blacksota Wizarding Academy on the Wizarding Continent!"
Perhaps right now, these sailors with knightly skills are very powerful compared to these wizard apprentices who don't know witchcraft, but what about in the future?
