Chapter 92 The Tranquility Before Dawn
Grand Duke Yuanye was satisfied to see everyone here reaching an agreement, and then continued: "I have asked Jing Yuanming to go to the nearest city for investigation, and I believe that the necessary information will be obtained tomorrow at the latest."
"So I'm here to order!"
When everyone heard this, they all restrained their expressions on their faces, became serious and solemn, and stood up without a word of nonsense. The solemn atmosphere was suppressed like a mountain.
"From now on, the Expeditionary Force has entered a first-level combat readiness state, and the entire army is waiting for battle. When the scout's reconnaissance information is sent back, attack immediately!"
"The first, second and fifth divisions of the original kingdom remained in their original organization, and lined up to advance head-on... The witch hunters belonging to the alliance formed their own teams and rolled forward in a scattered manner."
These were all plans that everyone present had already agreed upon, but at this time the Supreme Commander, Grand Duke Yuanye, announced it again, so everyone agreed and took the order and left.
Soon, everyone who received the orders took the order one by one, and finally only Chen Lina and Fan Li were left in the huge conference hall.
Grand Duke Yuanye looked at them: "Originally, there was no place for you two teenagers this time, so there were no pre-arranged tasks."
"I have no problem, I have passed the assessment." Chen Lina said. The assessment she mentioned was the "collection assessment" for newcomers by Lionheart Association. The strictness can be said to be the highest among all studios in the league. Even many formal witch hunters may not be able to pass it.
"I'm just going to be a master, right?" Fan Li scratched his head, his tone was full of uncertainty. In fact, he ran out of the forest of thorns, and just avoided the siege of "school brothers". I don't know if that was the assessment set by Jing Yuanming.
"I all know these guys, but there is no place for you on the front line battlefield this time." said Da Gong Yuanye, "Don't worry, you are now being placed in the reserve team..."
The old man suddenly showed a cold and decisive smile: "Haha, this war... the reserve team has a chance to play... I just hope you can make it as late as possible."
"Also, if the battle is not going well and the entire army needs to retreat to the human world, your reserve team must be responsible for the rear of the palace." Yuanye Grand Duke pointed to the map of the Settling Sun Realm hanging behind him, "It is not simply blocking the pursuit of the demons, but cutting the rear for the large army. It is more thorough, and responding to all members of the expeditionary army to escape back to the human world."
"You should all know that the insurance measures for this expedition - we have requisitioned all the two-way channels known to the human world as retreat channels. Once someone is broken up or even the entire army is defeated, they need to go to the nearest channel to withdraw from the human world."
"But honestly, the probability of success of this escape method... is very low. Not everyone has the ability and such good luck."
Vanley touched the disguise in his pocket and used the Demon's Horn, and suddenly realized in his heart: "Are you going to let us stay in the demon world, guide the lost demon hunters and lead them to find the portal?"
"Yes," Grand Duke Yuanye looked at them with relief, "It's great news that you two have had the experience of crossing the Settling Sun Realm! So you must accept this task."
"Who else in the reserve team?" Chen Lina seemed a little unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle for a little more.
Grand Duke Yuanye took out a stack of documents: "Because of the traitors of Dark Star, a lot of our witch hunters' information is mastered by the Canyang Realm, so it is difficult for all the witch hunters with little fame to lurk here to carry out missions. The members of the reserve team are witch hunters with strength but relatively unfamous, and there are newcomers like you who have not yet become famous..."
"For example, the next little saint of the Chenxi Association and the personal disciples of the Holy Prophet." The Grand Duke of Yuanye proposed these two to appease Chen Lina's emotions.
Because these two people are geniuses of the same level as Chen Lina, they are both in the reserve team, and Chen Lina has no reason to refuse anyway.
"As a result, we still didn't ask about the information about the Canyang Realm." Chen Lina was still indignant on the way out of the conference room.
Fan Li asked in surprise: "Do you really think the Duke will need our intelligence?"
He also looked shocked as he said
Xiang Chen Lina - Although her temper and personality are a bit bad, she looks quite cute now.
"Hey, what do you mean? And what are your eyes? Do you laugh at me again!" Sure enough, the girl became angry and embarrassed.
Fan Li didn't dare to provoke anymore, so he quickly changed the topic: "Okay, okay, hurry up and go back and have some rest... I stayed in the pile of demons these days, and didn't fall asleep without a good night! Although we don't need to go out to fight immediately, we may not have the chance to rest again from tomorrow."
Chen Lina also knew this very well, so she said goodbye to Fan Li and walked to the girls' camp alone.
"Is the palace behind?" Chen Lina turned her head and looked at the western sky. The never-ending setting sun, "Maybe there is still a chance to meet him again."
The human world is in the early morning of January 26, 118o.
Due to the special environment of the Settling Sun Realm, there is no so-called difference between day and night here. However, the demon hunters of the Expeditionary Force still distinguished time from day and night according to their original habits.
In theory, this time period is when people sleep the most well in the middle of the night, but the biological clock of the witch hunter has long been trained to the point of being unrecognizable. Now it is their most energetic time - while performing tasks.
Jing Yuanming took his team and separated from Axe King and the others halfway. It was at the order of the Grand Duke of Yuanye that he went to the nearest city, the important city of Border Fortification, "Drew", for early investigation. If nothing unexpected happens, the target of the Expeditionary Force is here!
A fortress-type city with quasi-military management is certainly a tough trick, but with the absolute strength advantages of the expeditionary force, it is not much difficult.
Generally speaking, the ruler of this kind of city, or the strongest one, is just a demon commander if he dies... and in fact, there is only one ten thousand men.
Jing Yuanming was confident that he could sneak in alone and assassinate the demon's leader.
It doesn't even require the cooperation of the army. Just throw all nine thousand witch hunters into the battlefield and you can take down the city in less than half a day.
The only thing to pay attention to is time - it must be decided!
Because this is the Demon Realm, everything around is the enemy of the Expeditionary Force.
Although this area is remote and empty, there are still at least five cities around Drew City that are within half a day of travel!
In other words, if it does not include space teleportation technology and high-level legions, reinforcements will arrive at half a day at the latest. Next will be a continuous stream of demon legions...
By then, the expeditionary force that fought away games would fall into an absolute number disadvantage and would eventually be completely submerged in the "the vast ocean of the war of name" of the demons!
So time is the key! Just like the mysterious demon army blitzing into the Torch City, it must use the fastest attack to capture Drew City and steal its guardian ancestor.
Then before the demon's reinforcements arrived, they took the initiative to evacuate, leaving them a ruin that turned into a sea of fire!
Even, it is possible to set up an ambush, come to a surround and fight support, and annihilate several demon legions that are coming to support.
Moreover, if the operation is done properly, you can take down one or two cities while the surrounding cities are sending troops to rescue and their own garrison is empty!
So in the final analysis, time is the most critical. Lions should also do their best to fight rabbits. The shorter the time to solve the battle, the more beneficial it will be to the expeditionary force.
And Jing Yuanming's investigation this time is directly related to this crucial "time"!
From afar, you can see the city wall. Jing Yuanming asked the team to disperse their actions, and each tried to enter the city to investigate, or investigate external information outside the city.
Jing Yuanming's men are experienced and powerful senior demon hunters, and they specialize in stealth and assassination. So there is no need to worry about whether they can get in smoothly.
It was just because he didn't know what strange and unexpected measures would be for the demon to prevent him, that Jing Yuanming became a little cautious.
Otherwise, he could rely on disguise and lead the team to enter directly from the city gate with a swagger! Where should he disperse his actions so carefully?
This city is…too quiet.
