The reason why Jia Lan took time off from the busy work of the College Affairs Supervision Department to host the "First Komo Adventure Competition" was because of the earnest request of Clark, the president of the Mercenary Guild.

  President Clark was surprised to find that Jia Lan easily resolved the civil strife in Komo University with just a few simple management tricks.

  At that time, President Clark, who was worried about the public security issues in Kelan City, immediately asked Jia Lan for help, hoping that he could lend a hand and bring a turnaround to the public security dilemma in Kelan City.

  Therefore, Jia Lan, who was busy cleaning up the underground world and rebuilding the Dragon Worship Temple, had to temporarily put aside his work and lend a hand to President Clark, who was also responsible for the public security of Kelan City.

  Fortunately, the addition of a large number of "internship" magic apprentices during this period has made the cleanup of the underground world progress rapidly, sweeping away the three rebellious underground tribes like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and re-incorporating them into the renamed "Zhenzhi Society" temple.

  While the magic apprentices participated in the cleanup of the underground world in the name of "internship", a very interesting thing happened.

  In the mercenary world, except for a very small number of tasks that must use magicians, few mercenary groups are interested in weak magic apprentices. They prefer to hire apprentice magicians or even higher-level magicians.

  Strong groups like the Golden Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group directly start from junior magicians and select magicians with strong magic power and self-protection ability to join.

  This is because low-level magicians are weak and easily injured. Although they have limited role in adventures and battles, their employment fees and pensions are comparable to those of higher-level combat professionals.

  Therefore, for the economic considerations of the mercenary group, the warriors would rather fight hard and do it themselves than spend money on those rookie magic apprentices.

  However, this time, Kenmet unexpectedly discovered that under Jia Lan's careful training and command, even a level 1 magic apprentice who had just learned an apprentice magic could show amazing combat effectiveness.

  Jia Lan organized many magic apprentices into a small team of 10 people and a large team of 100 people to form a huge magic army.

  Each team selected a magic apprentice as the team leader, each team selected a commander, and the rest lined up neatly and obeyed the command.

  In the battle, the apprentice at the front quickly moved sideways after releasing the magic, giving up the "attack position" and began to chant the next magic, followed by the second apprentice to release the magic, and then the third, fourth... and so on and so forth.

  If a level 1 magic apprentice is not proficient in magic spells, it takes about 5-6 seconds to chant a level 1 spell, but the time to prepare the spell and release it, plus the time to get out of the "attack position", will not exceed 1 second.

  According to Jia Lan's tactical arrangement, as long as the rhythm of the entire team's magic release is controlled, the time to release magic can be shortened to an astonishing degree.

  What does this mean?

  It means that a squadron of level 1 magic apprentices can easily release 6 rounds of magic in just 1 minute, that is, 600 level 1 fireballs or level 1 wind blades.

  Although the damage of level 1 magic is not high, the cumulative damage cannot be underestimated. It is like a match cannot burn a person to death, but 600 matches are enough to kill a person, not to mention that the power of a level 1 fireball is far greater than a match.

  What's more terrifying is that the magic apprentices who released 6 rounds of magic in this 1 minute have almost no impact on their magic value and can continue to attack.

  They even have time to alternate short-distance advances or flexible retreats to ensure the extension of the magic range and their own safety.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Under this continuous magic bombardment, even Iron-level and Bronze-level enemies can hardly resist, and even Gold-level great swordsmen like Kenmet are estimated to be difficult to resist.

  When trying Jia Lan's tactics for the first time, Kenmet was bombarded by a magic group composed entirely of level 1 magic apprentices and could not move.

  In that intensive magic bombardment, let alone rushing up to fight in close combat with the weak level 1 magic, it was already good enough not to be repelled by the impact formed by the magic explosion.

  A golden-level great swordsman was almost defeated by a group of level 1 magic apprentices, and they had no power to fight back. This made Kenmet so ashamed and angry that he almost burst into tears.

  Just imagine, the team of apprentices who just learned level 1 magic is so powerful, how terrible will the team composed of more advanced magic apprentices be? Their magic casting speed is faster and more powerful.

  So, Jia Lan took such a large army of magic apprentices and plowed the underground world over and over again with various apprentice magic.

  At the end of the battle, the land was so soft that it seemed that it could be directly sown.

  In the process of clearing the underground world, the more than 1,600 mercenaries of the Golden Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group had almost no chance to intervene except for fighting against a few powerful enemies.

  In the clearing operation, the mercenaries were like guardians and nannies. They only needed to resist or prevent the enemies from approaching the magic apprentices when the powerful enemies came.

  As long as they delayed for a few seconds, the enemies who dared to resist would be smashed to pieces or burned to death.

  Kenmet witnessed this amazing result and had an idea in his mind: the cost of raising 100 level 1 magic apprentices is not higher than raising 100 black iron intermediate mercenaries.

  Moreover, they do not need a lot of expensive resources like high-level magicians, but 100 black iron intermediate mercenaries can never defeat a gold-level great swordsman!

  In this way, raising a large number of magic apprentices is more cost-effective than raising a high-level magician!

  Kenmet couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why didn't he realize this before?

  As if he had found a shortcut to improve the team's strength, Kenmet took advantage of this opportunity to protect the magic apprentices' "internship" and quietly recruited a large number of magic apprentices to become his "trainee mercenaries."

  These "apprentice mercenaries" do not need to participate in the daily work of the mercenary group. They only need to participate in the daily training of the team and come to fight when they are on a mission.

  Under the protection of the combat mercenaries, they can easily complete almost all less dangerous tasks.

  All these achievements are attributed to Jia Lan's wonderful "magic battle formation".

  Jia Lan not only pacified the three major rebellious tribes in the underground world in a short period of time, but also captured more than 27,000 Dunbrook goblins, more than 35,000 cold spring tribe lizard hunters, and more than 55,000 Hakaza tribe dog-headed people!

  In addition to nearly 3,000 Uga tribe near-ground dwarves, this directly solved the problem of insufficient manpower when Jia Lan repaired the temple ruins.

  Out of fear of the former master, the "Dragon Worship Cult", when they found that their strength could not compete with the "Temple", the three tribes quickly re-expressed their "loyalty" to the returning "master". Under the supervision of the mercenary supervisor, they honestly devoted themselves to the restoration of the temple.

  The Cole potion production line originally placed in the Doom Castle was also moved into a hall in the temple, which was more secretive and safe, avoiding exposure to the outside world.

  From the dungeon entrance to the dungeon warehouse and then to the circular hall, the three checkpoints are enough to block anyone who attempts to peek into the internal secrets.

  Jia Lan divided the Doom Castle into two parts, the ground and the underground. The surface still uses human workers, while the underground uses the hands of the underground tribe.

  In this way, few outsiders can sneak in. Even if they do, they are either dwarves, goblins, or lizardmen. Wouldn't they be exposed immediately?

  As the security and confidentiality have been greatly improved, all work has been put on track under the management of Captain Kenmet, Casey, Dave and others.

  There are not many things that need Jia Lan to intervene in the Castle of Doom and the underground ruins, so they began to withdraw to help President Clark.

  Of course, Jia Lan's so-called help in "managing public security" does not mean to personally go to the streets to catch those who do not follow the rules as a "public security administrator".

  Instead, in the name of the Komo University Academic Affairs Supervision Department, the Mercenary Guild, the Adventure Guild and the major professional guilds in Kolan City were united to hold the "First Komo Adventure" Competition Conference with the support of the Civil Affairs Council.

  Komo University, the Adventure Guild and the Mercenary Guild prepared a joint venture plan at the beginning of the establishment of their respective game bars, so the joint hosting of the "Komo Adventure Competition" was almost a matter of course.

  As early as when Jia Lan invented the tabletop chess game "Komo Adventure", he had the foresight to buy a piece of land on the outskirts of Kolan City and began to build a large building called "Dragon Nest Adventure Hall".

  This huge ring-shaped building like an arena is mainly composed of civil structures. In addition to the wide oval square in the center, there are also 36 halls that can accommodate thousands of people and hundreds of private rooms of different sizes.

  The layout of each hall and private room is similar: a huge sand table map is placed in the center, and there are round tables for games around it, which can be used by a large number of adventure player teams to play "running group" games.
