Anton and Charlie arrived at the barracks soon after, and they saw that Captain Leonard was actually waiting for them by the door.

"What has taken you so long? I've been waiting for 30 minutes!" Captain Leonard exclaimed when Anton and Charlie got near him.

"We're out shopping for spells. We did hurry home without managing to buy anything the moment I heard your message from the token," Anton said.

Charlie looked guilty, though, and Anton could only look at the druid wryly. Captain Leonard saw Charlie's reaction and just snorted. Then he commanded Anton to follow him.

"What happened, Captain?" Anton asked as he and the captain walked towards one of the largest buildings near the west wall.

"I did tell you to prepare yourself to be assigned somewhere else. The Supreme Pudonis will tell you the details. I don't know anything more," Captain Leonard said.

The guards who stood by the building's door did not stop them, and Captain Leonard just entered the building with a straightforward attitude.

Captain Leonard and Anton then entered one of the doors by the side and which led to a large meeting hall. There were a bunch of old wizards having a discussion inside the meeting room, and Captain led Anton to the side and silently waited. Normally, a bunch of old men and women's meeting would bore the hell out of Anton, but they were talking about interesting topics like the attacks of undead and what kind of rank the attacking undead had.

Anton was extremely surprised to learn that there was a rank above the Invincible, but he realized that he should not have been. They were called Semi-Divine. The rank above that was called Divine. He learned from listening to the meeting of the old wizards that the ones leading the invasion of the Undead Coalition were three Semi-Divine rank liches.

At first, Anton thought that the wizards were being careless because they did not care that he and Captain Leonard were able to hear their meeting, but apparently, it was intentional. They allowed them to hear what they considered trivial information, but for the important confidential information, they would simply cast a quick spell that would surround them with magical energy that prevented any sounds from coming out.

Based on the snippets Anton had heard, the meeting was about to conclude. After waiting for about an hour, everyone finally stood up and left using the other door behind the huge meeting table, except for Supreme Pudonis.

"Thanks for arriving fast, Leonard, Anton, and sorry for disturbing your rest," the supreme mage told the two, who simply nodded.

Supreme led them to another room, and when they entered it, it looked to be an office, and Anton assumed that it was Supreme Pudonis's office.

"The reason I ask you here is that we want you, Anton, to be assigned to the center section of the wall. You are as powerful as a Supreme Wizard, and your magical stamina is exceedingly impressive. I was also informed that you desire to inflict damage on the undead, and joining the other powerful wizards in the center section will allow you to do so. The center section has ten long-range and spell-strengthening magical arrays. The most powerful undead concentrated themselves on the center section. If you accept this new assignment, you will have to say goodbye to your squad and will be permanently assigned to one of the mage's squads," Supreme Pudonis told Anton.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"I accept, sir. We already prepared ourselves for this to happen. I just wish that you would give my Captain and my squad sufficient merit," Anton said, and saw the captain briefly smile.

"The merits had already been added to their profiles, so you don't need to worry. Go ahead and spend the rest of the day resting or with your squad members. At around 10 pm tonight, someone will come to your barracks to lead you to your new place of rest and then to the meeting room where you will meet your new squad members. All nine of them are Supreme Wizards. You're the only one who will be the archmage rank among them, but everyone understands that your magical stamina is among the best, so don't worry too much about them. You will be the youngest. The youngest mage before you arrived was a 30-year-old wizard named Cedon."

After Supreme Pudonis had said all he wanted to say regarding Anton's new assignment, Anton and Captain Leonard returned to the barracks, but halfway there, Charlie met up with them to lead them to the tavern where they could meet everyone.

Anton and his squad celebrated until around three in the afternoon, and after that, they all returned to the barracks to rest for their shift later. Mauri, Suvina, and Fran separated from the men and went to their barracks to sleep. Anton and the others did not sleep immediately. They talked for a couple more hours before they rested. Thankfully, everyone would benefit from Anton's Pearl of the Ocean one last time.

At around nine in the evening, Anton woke up and prepared himself to transfer to another unit. He did not do much to prepare since all his belongings were always inside his inventory, so after cleaning himself up, he went outside, and the soldier who was supposed to lead him to his new abode was already waiting for him.

The west wall of Mendoza was so large that it took Anton and the one leading him to arrive at the central station 30 minutes by carriage before they arrived there. His new room, where he would stay to rest, was in a building a few minutes away from the gate that would lead him up to the parapets, where he would meet with his new mage squad.

Anton was expecting to be assigned to a small room since he would only need the place to rest and nothing else, but his new abode was actually a luxurious apartment with its own complete bathroom.

"I guess powerful wizards are not mistreated here," Anton told himself while surveying the apartment.

The soldier who was leading him was waiting patiently by the door. When Anton was done inspecting his new place, the man then led him to the meeting room on the wall where he would meet his new mage squad.

After walking for several minutes, Anton finally met the wizards who would be with him in the magic arrays at the center section of the wall, defending Mendoza. All nine Supreme Wizards were talking to each other. Anton saw that the wizards' ages ranged from their early thirties to what appeared to be an extremely old man, around eighty years old. Still, of course, Anton knew that he should not judge based on appearance because there was a chance that the wizards were using spells to disguise themselves, but that was only his theory.

"Ah, this must be Archmage Sunder. The vaunted archmage who can cast supreme-level spells non-stop for more than three hours without needing to rest. My name is Cedon. I used to be the youngest here, and now, you will be the new baby of the group. Thanks for relieving me of that assignment!" The young-looking supreme wizard who called himself Cedon said.

"Are you really just an archmage, Mr. Sunder? I have a rank stone here. Is it okay for us to give you a cursory test? My name is Supreme Leilona," One of the three lady wizards said.

When Anton said that he did not mind, Supreme Leilona immediately handed the ranking stone to Anton, and the results showed that he was indeed still just an archmage.
