The Lord of Ashes

Outside the Black Tomb Forest resource point.

Thain, who was above the confluence of two rivers, took one last look at the resource point below and looked towards the team of apprentices in the Holy Tower of Earth Academy before turning around and leaving.

With the assistance of the metal disc, Thane flew all the way to the northeast.

He now needs to bypass the apprentice team at the Holy Tower of Earth Academy before considering whether to go to the apprentice area of ​​Lei Yao Holy Tower or the Holy Tower of Earth Academy.

Fortunately, the trial space provided for the war between the five holy tower academies was large enough. Even if there were nearly 30,000 apprentices in the holy tower of Earth Academy, it would be difficult to completely surround Thain.

Thain's departure was almost equivalent to taking place under the spotlight.

Because the golden beam of light on its surface is so obvious, not only the apprentices of the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue can see it, but also the apprentices of the Holy Tower of Earth Academy can also clearly see the departure of the golden beam of light.

"The apprentice of the Holy Tower of Blue Origin named Thain has left. Are we going to chase him?" asked the top apprentice Makree in the apprentice position of the Holy Tower of Earth Academy.

Macrae is a genius apprentice who masters both the dark and wind elements. Among the apprentices in the Holy Tower of Earth Academy, his strength and prestige are second only to Ged.

At this time, Gede, Heart of the Earth, also looked in the direction where the golden light pillar left.

In fact, based on the skills of senior apprentices from the Holy Tower of Earth Academy and above, some apprentices who also possess flying props or specialize in the field of wind magic can catch up with Thain's speed.

There were many apprentices in the Earth Academy before, who pursued Thain across borders, and even pursued him to the apprentice area of ​​the Holy Tower of Whispers.

However, Gad, Heart of the Earth, is not an apprentice who flies extremely fast.

And with the secrets of earth element magic he has mastered, once his legs leave the ground... the power of the earth element's blessing he enjoys will be greatly reduced.

It can be said that Gade flying in the sky can only be regarded as a top apprentice.

Only when his legs are rooted in the earth can he be the true peak apprentice.

Therefore, after the Academy War started, almost all the apprentices had never seen Ged leave the ground for a long time.

This can be regarded as a small shortcoming of him as a peak apprentice.

In just a moment of Gad's silence, the golden light beam representing Thane was already flying further and further away.

The quasi-magician Maclay had a hint of anxiety on his face at this time. He was obviously the one who didn't want to let Thain leave.

Just when Macrae's patience was about to be exhausted, Gade shook his head and said: "We can't chase him. With the vastness of the trial space, it would be too difficult for us to chase and suppress a peak apprentice with extremely fast flying ability. "

"Furthermore, from the previous targeted encirclement and suppression of him, you should also be able to see that the other party seems to have some means of detecting us in advance."

"It is even more difficult to lay a trap quietly and encircle it."

"Instead of wasting energy and time on him now, we should continue to advance the apprenticeship team and wipe out all resource points and scattered apprentices in the five major regions."

"In this way, in addition to steadily earning points, once all resource points and scattered apprentice teams are wiped out, we will naturally have more time and energy to encircle and suppress the peak apprentice in the Holy Tower of the Origin of Jade. "Gade said.

Gade's words are not without reason.

But the top apprentice Maclay looked depressed after hearing this.

Macrae's point value is now more than 20,000 points.

Although it also squeezed into the top ten, it was ranked relatively low among the top ten.

As long as Thain is eliminated, Macree can immediately reach the top.

This kind of temptation is beyond the reach of Gade's slow points-grabbing method.

From here we can also see the difference in personality between him and Gade.

Gade is an extremely stable apprentice. Although he is also enthusiastic about Thane's more than 100,000 points, Gade knows very well what he should do and what he should not do.

Compared to the unstable gains, Gade is more inclined to grasp the advantages of holding the handle first.

After you have taken everything you can, you can then turn around and seek more benefits.

It cannot be said that Gade's decision is wrong. It can even be said that this is the most rational and correct decision.

In Macrae's view, this was entirely because Gade himself was unable to fly to pursue Thain for a long time, so he was forced to let Thain, the "fat" in front of him, go.

Gad will let Thane go, but Macrae won't.

After waving his sleeves and leaving Gade, Maclay said: "If you don't chase me, then I will lead some of my people to chase him!"

Watching Maclay's retreating figure, Gade, who had khaki skin, said nothing.

Before Macree left, he approached another top apprentice, Messer, in the apprentice camp and asked him if he was willing to go together to pursue Thain.

The top apprentice Messer is a fire magic apprentice. Faced with Macrae's inquiry and invitation, Messer looked embarrassed.

Finally, he shook his head and said, "I think what Gade said makes more sense. The peak apprentice of the Holy Tower of the Origin of Jade is not so easy to hunt down. Previously, 'Kinetic Hand' Faak and the others suffered a big loss."

"Kinetic Hand" Falk was one of the first batch of apprentices from the Holy Tower of Earth Academy to pursue Thane.

In terms of strength, Fake, who is also a top apprentice, is actually on par with Mercer.

Macrae's strength may be slightly stronger than the two.

But it was only a little bit, and he was far from reaching the level of a peak apprentice.

After receiving Maisel's answer, Macree finally snorted coldly, and then left the camp with dozens of senior and above apprentices who were willing to follow him to hunt down Thain.

Like Macrae, there are many apprentices who hope to eliminate Thane and rise to the top in one fell swoop.

And most of these apprentices are still those who have some strength and are relatively confident in themselves.

The departure of Macree and other apprentices was inconspicuous compared to the total number of more than 7,000 apprentices gathered at the Holy Tower of Earth Academy outside the Black Tomb Forest.

But it must be mentioned that Macrae and others took away more than one-third of the senior and above apprentices.

Regarding this situation, Gade, who was sitting in the center, said nothing.

As a pinnacle apprentice who has high hopes from the academy's instructors, Gade indeed has extremely high command and dispatch authority over the academy's intermediate and below-level apprentices.

But for those senior apprentices and above, Gade's orders sometimes don't work very well.

Especially with the extremely tempting huge amount of points in front of them, few apprentices can remain tempted.

The departure of Maclay and others did not seem to bring much psychological burden to Gade.

The attack on the Black Tomb Forest resource point continues as usual.

It's just that compared to the past few days, it seems that the offensive intensity of the Earth Academy's Holy Tower apprentice team has weakened a lot.
