Abe the Wizard

Chapter 635 Returning to the Team

Abel noticed Head Commander Edi among the humans camp. The man was standing at the very front. He was accompanied by other head commanders, and they were protecting the beginner wizards behind them.Of course, it wasn’t like the wizards didn’t do any fighting. About ten intermediate wizards were casting spells on the field.

“Wooooh! Woooh!”

It was the sound of horns. After hearing this, the wolfriders suddenly dispersed and ran in all directions.

Head Commander Edi screamed, “Stop, men! Stop moving forward!”

Since it was getting late, it would be a very dangerous thing to run after wolfriders. Besides, they’ve made quite a progress already. With that charge formation, only about 1500 wolfriders were left. It was actually a record-breaker. Every knight was thrilled to be part of this mission.

After the fight ended, the humans started scavenging the battlefield. It was very hard, especially when the night was getting so dark. Arrows. Spears. Valuables. The knights had to retrieve anything that they could get back.

After tapping on the mount wolf king’s neck, Abel rode back towards the team.

“Who is it?” a head commander screamed. Suddenly, four of the intermediate wizards appeared right next to Abel. They all activated spell runes and pointed towards him.

To react to his, Abel switched to his “steel” sword and “contract of the ancient” shield. It was the only thing he could rely on against intermediate wizards.

One of the intermediate wizards quickly deactivated his spell, “It’s K3516! He’s back!”

The other three also canceled their spells, “He’s one of us!”

Abel recognized one of these men. The name was Kauper, the one who cleaned things up after Vice Instructor Layard was killed.

An intimate wizard shook his head, “Hey, you! Do sneak up on us so quietly!”

Another one said, “Very brave of you for doing that. If Kauper didn’t know you, we would’ve all attacked you at once.”

Wizard Kauper laughed, “Alright, alright. K3516 here is a newcomer. He’s learned his lessons, so take it easy now.”

“Impressive!” an intermediate wizard raised his thumb, “A newcomer on the frontline? I wasn’t like you when I first got here.”

Abel unsheathed his weapons and bowed, “Thank you so much, Wizard Kauper.”

“Welcome back, K3516!”

Head Commander Edi was walking towards them. He was very pleased to see Abel return. All the other team members were following him. They all nodded and smiled when they saw Abel back.

Needless to say, Abel took a very big risk back there. He went to distract the worgens all on his own. He even had to escape from the intermediate orc priests, and they only knew about that a lot later.

Within the fifty mile radius that was under the miracle spirit’s surveillance, if there wasn’t any intermediate priest that was spotted, no intermediate wizards would be deployed. It was the golden rule of the war. That being said, Head Commander Edi and the rest were very happy that the reinforcements arrived.

“Come to think of it,” Wizard Kauper said to one of his comrades, “It’s a bit strange, isn’t it? The orcs had already left, but we’ve never ended up finding the intermediate orc priests.”

Abel had a very worried look on his face. Thankfully, he was wearing a mask, so there was no way that the others could see it.

Now, this could go two ways. It could be that the intermediate priests were killed. Or, they were rescued by their fellow soldiers. Whatever the case was, it was no longer possible to see them again.

An intermediate wizard replied to Wizard Kauper, “Just forget about it for now. We can’t take too much time cleaning the battlefield. We can’t stay out of the Miracle Wall, remember?”

K3305 slapped his hand on Abel’s shoulder, “My dearest friend! You’re alive! I mean, I knew you would be.”

K3308 said with a sigh, “Can’t say the same, I’m afraid. You are a lucky man, K3516. That was a total of 10000 orcs you have escaped.”

Head Commander Markham frowned, “Watch your mouth, K3308!”

“What?” K3308 lowered his head and murmured, “But I was just...”

Head Commander Markham turned to shake Abel’s hands, “Thank you for your service, K3516!”

Abel scratched his head as he shook Markham’s hands, “About that, uh. I think they came for me.”

“What do you mean?”

Abel explained, “I killed a head wolfrider commander the other day. You see the mount wolf king I have with me? It’s from him.”

Head Commander Markham shook his head, “It’s starting to make sense now. The mount wolf king is a very treasure asset, after all.”

K3003 was starting to panic, “Wait, what? Are you saying we’re in trouble? Oh, no no no no! They’re just going to keep coming at us, then! And that war drum K3516 stole. We just added more fuel to the fire!”

K3308 was starting to get irritated, “If you are scared, just go home!”

K3003 argued back, “I’m not scared, K3308! I’m just pointing out a fact here!”

“Stop fighting, you two,” K3305 suddenly stood up, “It’s me. I’m the one to blame. K3516 killed that head wolfrider commander because of me. I’m the case of all this.”

Head Commander Edi shook his head, “No! You did the right thing, K3305. You don’t need to apologize for the death of one orc. In fact, as the protectors of this city, it is our utmost responsibility to kill any orc that we can!”

Wizard Kauper teleported right next to Abel, “Pardon me now, then. Please, gentlemen, continue with your hunting quest. As part of the reinforcement team, I’ll have to head back to Miracle City now.”

Head Commander Edi gave a deep bow, “Thank you so much for your help.”

When the torches on the ground started extinguishing, things started to quiet down. Almost all the corpses were cleared. They couldn’t get rid of the bloodstains, though. It had become a part of the landscape here.

Again, the moon hid behind the night clouds. It was getting very hard to sleep.

Head Commander Edi announced, “Hear me out, men! Let’s find a place to sleep!”

Luckily, no man was injured. Everyone was fine to walk on their own feet. Soon, after being led to the back of a valley, the team began to make camp. With just one or two men as scouts, they had no worries that the orcs would find them.
