Noah retreated from the battlefield so easily because of these exact reasons, relying on the lord's protection for his safety and ensuring the village's security.
The reason why those other old monsters at the tier three wizard realm were stunned was because of Noah's calm retreat; they had the greatest chance of surviving this beast tide if they worked together.
Even if one ran away and hid in the village, the beast tide would eventually sweep over them, the longer the beast tide lasted the stronger it would beco. This was counterintuitive and stupid at the sa ti.
That's why the other village leaders could have never imagined that Noah would retreat. In their eyes, it was a foolish decision.
However, for Noah, it was the best decision. Not only would he be able to entirely occupy the wilderness after eliminating all the opponents of the five villages with the beast tide, but he would also be able to get rid of those pesky landlords.
These ten landlords' families had individual strength that was very weak compared to the village, but united, they even had the power to fight against a bona fide tier three wizard.
They had been a pain in the ass for a long ti, especially since their relationship had soured.
As for the safety of his own village, it was pretty much guaranteed with Lord Sky. He had to protect the village, or his precious little resource would die.
Along the way, all the students who were on cleaning duty were swept along by the group as they advanced toward their own village.
William was among them, as he had also been assigned clean-up duty, but he chose to go alone this ti.
"Can we rest for a second?" a person grumbled in a low tone.
However, with the stern stare of the elder, the man instantly gulped his own saliva and wore a bitter expression on his face. Without rest, they continued to advance, reaching the village in a re span of three hours.
For a group consisting of low-tier one wizards and even so peak wizard apprentices, they managed to slow them down considerably. Despite this, they reached their destination fairly quickly.
As Noah and the others quickly arrived at the village, there was already a group of soldiers waiting for them respectfully.
"Leader," the head guard said, bowing respectfully.
Except for the Elders and Noah, the head guard was also a tier two wizard and had vast authority in the academy.
Noah nodded with a smile.
The head guard's expression changed slightly as he looked behind Noah.
"What happened?"
"Follow ," Noah said calmly, and the man could only nod helplessly.
They entered the academy directly, under the apprehensive eyes of the mortals who looked at them with fear.
It wasn't because they were afraid of the wizards themselves, but because of the terrifying existence that could render these wizards so miserable.
Even Noah, who was seen as the epito of invincibility in their eyes, had so bruises, so they would undoubtedly be scared for their lives.
If they could be so injured, then the hope of them surviving outside was slim!
"Follow ," Noah said lightly as he headed directly towards his office.
The mage apprentices looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces and tactfully retreated. Although Noah didn't say anything, their strength wasn't sufficient to be involved in such an important matter.
They could only helplessly wait for news from the village. When you lack strength, all you can do is bow your head.
…
Noah looked at the younglings. "Alright, I will first tell you what has happened on the battlefield."
"Yes, Leader," everyone who was clueless about the situation said gratefully, while the elders and instructors had grim expressions.
"The beasts were too powerful. There were endless numbers of low-tiered beasts, and there was no shortage of tier-two beasts as well. However, the most terrifying thing was the main wolf with blue hide and yellow stripes.
Just by being there, that beast released a terrifying presence that exerted an invisible pressure on us, and the strength of the other tier-three beasts was unusual," Noah explained lightly.
Silence fell over the entire room. Nobody spoke, and the atmosphere beca heavy.
"At this ti, what should we do, Leader?" Aur stood up respectfully and asked with a bow.
"We wait and prepare," Noah said calmly. "Use all ans available. Rember to fight with all you have, as it might be the last day of your life. Gear up if you want even a shiver of a chance of surviving."
He waved his hand, directly dismissing all of the people.
"Leader, I have sothing to ask of you," Aur spoke up at this ti.
The others were a little stunned but didn't linger, leaving Aur and Noah alone.
"So, what is it, Aur?" Noah looked at him.
"I have found that I have so talent in alchemy," Aur bowed.
Noah was bewildered for a mont.
"Really?" he asked again, releasing his presence, which created great pressure.
Aur remained silent, just nodding his head.
Noah retracted his presence, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Good. If you really have the talent to beco an alchemist, then the village would reward you greatly."
"Thank you, Leader," Aur spoke respectfully.
"Hahaha," Noah's mood suddenly brightened as he started to laugh. "I will give you a month. Can you make your first potion?"
Aur had a thoughtful expression on his face as he contemplated before nodding his head. "This is possible."
Noah stood up from his seat, his expression growing warr as he patted Aur's shoulder.
"Well done. The village will provide all the resources until you have fully practised alchemy. Until then, ask for whatever resources you need; they will be given to you," he said in a magnanimous tone, looking at Aur as if he were seeing his long-lost child.
"Thank you, Leader," Aur said politely and left the room.
After leaving the leader's office, Aur reflected, "It's better to show my talent, get more resources, and be valued to grow faster."
Although Aur didn't know where Noah's confidence ca from, the future he saw still depicted a terrifying wildfire engulfing the village, suggesting that Noah's thods might not be sufficient to protect it.
