He found Furnal and asked, "How's it going? How's the recruitment going?"
Upon hearing this, Furnal had a distressed expression, looking quite troubled.
"Daniel, there are quite a few applicants; so far, 67 people have signed up. The problem is that those three spells are too difficult. Out of about 600 people, only a few have managed to learn all three, and most have only learned one or two."
"Really? It's easy! I even made some modifications to make the spells easier."
...
Furnal was instantly speechless. You can't expect everyone to be like you; they can't compare to you at all.
I just took a look and found it quite challenging. I still haven't learned it, and this is after your modifications. How difficult must the original version have been?
Seeing this, Daniel could only helplessly shake his hand and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. Gather all those who can learn all three spells."
"Okay."
Soon everyone was gathered, and Daniel stood on the platform to address them.
"I have found a Fire Element Pool and plan to transform the Floating Ship into a Wizard Tower. I need someone to operate up there, so I've called you all here. Is there anyone willing to go up?"
Indeed, this was Daniel's plan. The deck of the Floating Ship could accommodate over 500 people. If he could provide enough magical power for these individuals, their combat abilities would reach their peak.
This would be equivalent to having over 500 Wizard Apprentices with the capabilities of a Wizard Tower. With their explosive combat power, even a Formal Wizard would not dare to face them.
Don't think this is impossible; in fact, there is considerable operational space. Although there are over 500 people, the magical power requirements for Wizard Apprentices cannot be compared to those of a Formal Wizard.
Even with just one Fire Element Pool, it could sustain their full-force attacks for a period of time.
This is also why Daniel entrusted them with improving the three major spells; only by using the same spells can they maximize their combat effectiveness.
Hearing this, everyone began to discuss among themselves, some unable to believe it, but no one backed down; who would retreat from such a good opportunity?
"Alright, since no one is willing to withdraw, let's climb up to the Floating Ship one by one using the rope. This is to prevent any spies from sabotaging us; I will personally watch from below."
Upon hearing Daniel, they understood the seriousness of the situation. In fact, it wasn't just the other side; even they had placed spies among their opponents to obtain the most advantageous information for themselves.
If necessary, they could also launch an attack to inflict significant damage on the other side.
Thus, no one was dissatisfied, and they began to climb up one by one.
Daniel stood nearby, observing each person as they passed by.
After a few people had gone by, one individual caught Daniel's attention; it seemed he was not among those he had led, but he had seen him at the academy.
So he grabbed him and asked, "Rex, how come it's you? I remember you weren't supposed to be with me."
Rex was very surprised; he didn't expect Daniel to recognize him. After a pause, he replied, "I was following Alik. Since nothing was happening over there, I came over to help."
Daniel understood now; Rex was one of Alik's subordinates and had come over because he saw an opportunity here.
"Does Alik know?"
Rex chuckled but said nothing, clearly indicating that he did not know.
Daniel was momentarily unsure of what to do. Rex coming over to help could be significant, but Alik would definitely not agree.
As the person taking on the mission from the academy, the reward standards were based on how well his subordinates, those Wizard Apprentices, performed in this war.
How could Alik just stand by and watch his subordinates join forces with others, increasing their strength and affecting future rewards from the academy?
Why should he endure a significant reduction in rewards from the academy?
Suddenly, he saw Eric in the distance, turning to leave. After glancing around, he noticed several others among the crowd who were not from his side, and he immediately understood.
Eric had suffered a complete failure in the last ambush, with hundreds dead or injured. His performance in subsequent battles had been poor, leading to dissatisfaction among many. The number of people coming over this time was not just one or two; it could be hundreds or even thousands.
Even if Eric wanted to stop them, he couldn't do anything but let them leave. How could Daniel refuse? He didn't want to offend hundreds of people at once.
"Alright, you go ahead first."
Upon hearing this, Rex directly climbed up the rope.
The others hidden among Eric's group breathed a sigh of relief; as long as Rex could go up, they certainly could too. This way, they wouldn't have to worry about being rejected by Daniel.
Suddenly, Daniel grabbed one person who was trying to climb up and asked, "Who are you? I don't remember seeing you at the academy."
"I am Ansair, an ordinary apprentice at the academy. It's normal that you haven't seen me," Ansair replied calmly. With his composed expression, anyone who didn't know him would believe it.
"Then who did you come with?"
"It was you."
Daniel did not hesitate and said directly, "Arrest him; he's a spy trying to sabotage the Wizard Tower."
Immediately, there was a flurry of discussion among the crowd, and some even stepped forward to defend him.
"Daniel, he’s not a spy; he came with you. I've been with him for several months already."
Daniel remained unmoved. He had noted the characteristics of everyone who followed him while on the Flame Throne, and this person was simply not among them.
If he dared to say he came with him and wasn't a spy, then who else could he be?
Especially, although the other party was hiding it well, there was still a hint of anxiety deep in their eyes. Others might not notice, but he had already seen it.
Therefore, he said to the person who spoke up to explain, "You have been deceived by him. I have never seen him in the academy, and none of the people who came with me include him. Even among those who followed Erik, I know most of them. I have never heard of this person. He must be a spy who has infiltrated here long ago."
Hearing Daniel's certainty, the other party couldn't help but shrink back, feeling very regretful. It turned out he really was a spy; if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have spoken up for him. What if it implicated him?
Fortunately, the worrying situation did not occur. Daniel had long recognized the person who spoke up to help explain; he was an apprentice who had lived in the academy for over a decade. He could not possibly be a spy.
Daniel quickly identified two more spies, and everyone couldn't help but admire his keen insight. By the end, someone could no longer withstand his precise gaze and turned to flee.
What kind of precise vision would force a rational Wizard Apprentice to this extent? It should be noted that everyone around was an apprentice from the Flame Throne Wizard Academy; even Myles couldn't escape under such circumstances, let alone them.
Yet he still chose to run away, grasping at a hope that didn't exist, unwilling to face Daniel and be caught by him.
However, he couldn't escape; he was quickly captured and imprisoned, awaiting future interrogation.
After finishing the boarding matters, Daniel found Erik and said, "Now I am preparing to fully construct the Wizard Tower. The rest will be entrusted to you. I hope you can lead the remaining people to defend Aolek Fortress with all your might."
"Don't worry; I can't help with other matters, but this one will definitely be done well."
