Chapter 60: Shifting Flowers and Joining Trees (Part 2)
Chapter 60: Substitution (Part 2)
The barracks seemed very quiet, except for the occasional fluctuation of fire elements and some slight noises, which were caused by Lin Xin refining the elixir. Everyone else was immersed in a meditative state.
In this exorcism level, you have to face the demon army at any time. Everyone understands the importance of improving their strength. When there is pressure, there is motivation, and when there is pressure, the potential can be stimulated. The entire No. 1 Demon Hunting Group is here
This pressure gradually increased. To Long Haochen's surprise, the side effects of the Explosive Spirit Pill only lasted about six hours on him, and the feeling of weakness gradually disappeared, instead of the twelve hours that Lin Xin said.
hour, this should be related to his own physical constitution.
The calmness of the cultivation lasted until the afternoon. After eating the same sumptuous lunch, everyone practiced separately for less than an hour. The door of the barracks was knocked open, and an order directly subordinate to the Exorcism Pass Military Headquarters came.
A moment later, Long Haochen led the companions of the No. 1 sergeant-level demon hunting group to meet the other nine newly promoted demon hunting groups.
What is the purpose of gathering together all the new demon hunting groups who have come for the trial?
Not only was Long Haochen confused, but the sixty young powerful men from the Six Temples present had similar thoughts. After all, they had just entered the infantry camp for a day, could it be that the arrangements had changed immediately?
In fact, there has really been a change. And this change is mainly caused by two aspects. The first is the performance of these ten new demon hunting groups in yesterday's battle at the top of the city.
The new demon hunting group has never been to the Exorcism Pass trial before, and this time is the first of its kind. Therefore, from the perspective of the Holy Spirit, the generals of the Exorcism Pass have not thought about how to arrange them most appropriately. So,
It was decided that they should go to the most difficult infantry camp first to train, train and sharpen their strength.
The result surprised the generals at Exorcism Pass. Yesterday, when ten infantry battalions of the newly promoted demon hunting regiment were deployed to defend the city, their combat effectiveness far exceeded the original estimate of the general at Exorcism Pass, and the losses of their infantry battalions were even greater.
Less than one-fifth of the usual number. You know, an infantry battalion only has six more people!
It's no wonder that the general of the Exorcist Pass was surprised. The overall strength of this new demon hunting group is indeed the strongest in the past century. Not to mention anything else, whether it is Yang Wenzhao, Long Haochen, Cai'er, Duanyi, Huang
Yi and others, in previous years, are definitely the inevitable champions. In this year's Knight Temple alone, there are only five fifth-level knights!
On the other hand, it was because of Long Haochen. Although Long Haochen covered up the true situation for Holy Spirit Heart, his performance on the battlefield was seen in the eyes of all the Knights of the Radiant Angel Knights and the Assassins of the Dark Night.
Now the leader of the Knights of the Shining Angel has spent a day with the general who temporarily replaced Holy Spirit Heart as the military commander, and requested that Long Haochen, preferably Long Haochen and his entire team, be transferred to the Knights of the Shining Angel.
Last night, if it weren't for Haoyue's eyes of truth, I'm afraid not even half of the Knights of the Radiant Angels would have come back. The most important thing in the army is not personal strength, but the individual's help to the army on the battlefield. You are alone
No matter how strong he is, no matter how many enemies he kills, in the end all his friends will be dead, and he is still not an excellent soldier.
Last night, after Holy Spirit Heart exploded and used the Soul Returning Furnace to annihilate a large number of powerful enemies with the belief that he would die, Long Haochen turned around and ran away with him. He just snatched Holy Spirit Heart's life back in front of the three demon gods.
It happened too fast at that time, and when they came back, the generals didn't say much because of the presence of Xia Sheng Yue. But when they think about it later, it can be said that Long Haochen has made two great contributions.
Long Haochen is the champion of the individual competition of this new demon hunting group, and is naturally the representative of this new demon hunting group. His outstanding performance has also allowed all members of the demon hunting group to obtain the real military exorcism test.
of attention.
Keeping these elites in the infantry battalion is definitely overqualified, so this is why changes have been made to assign new tasks to them.
As the leader of the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group at the rank of sergeant, as soon as Long Haochen arrived and led the team, the eyes of others naturally fell on him.
Yang Wenzhao's eyes immediately fell on Chen Ying'er, but Chen Ying'er hugged Wang Yuanyuan's arm without even looking at him.
"Brother Yang, hello." Long Haochen took the initiative to say hello to Yang Wenzhao. Although the two have a strong competitive relationship, they are also the best among the younger generation of the Knight Temple. This kind of competition is healthy.
.
Yang Wenzhao smiled slightly and said: "Brother Long, how are you? How was your harvest yesterday?"
Naturally, he was asking about meritorious service. Long Haochen smiled and said, "It's not bad."
As he spoke, he greeted the other new demon hunting group leaders respectively. Among the ten new demon hunting groups, the only ones who are qualified to compete with them for the first place in the team competition are actually No. 2 and No. 3.
, there are only three teams on the 4th. Although the remaining six demon hunting groups are also very good, there is a big gap between them and the first four.
The tall Duan Yi was the most stable person. He stopped talking after saying hello to Long Haochen. The leader of the No. 4 Demon Hunting Group, the rank 4, was the fifth-level priest. Although he was not familiar with Long Haochen, Li
Xin Shu! He came over a long time ago and chatted with Long Haochen about yesterday's battle.
Obviously, it was not just Long Haochen who performed well in yesterday's city defense battle. The three new demon hunting groups No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 were equally powerful, and their overall lethality even exceeded
Long Haochen's trend. After all, the magicians and summoners on Long Haochen's side are not their original roles. In terms of overall lethality, they are not necessarily the strongest among all the new demon hunting groups.
At this moment, several generals from the Exorcist Pass came over together with the ten team leaders. The members of the demon hunting team suddenly became quieter and returned to their respective teams.
The general walking at the front, Long Haochen, had seen him yesterday but didn't know his name. Gao Yingjie walked with him and came to the front of the ten demon hunting groups.
"Hello everyone, I am Gu Jin, a general under the command of Chief Sheng. First of all, the Exorcism Pass Military Department would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone for their outstanding performance in the battle to defend the city yesterday. What you have done for Exorcism Pass
Everything, the soldiers of Exorcism Pass will always remember."
Listening to General Gu Jin's words, the young people in the Demon Hunting Group couldn't help but show excitement. For these young elites under the age of twenty-five, it is extremely important to be recognized by the military. This is related to
Their evaluation of this trial is also related to the merit reward each team finally receives.
For the demon hunting group, merit points are really important. With enough merits, you can learn stronger secret skills and exchange them for better equipment. Naturally, you can take on more difficult tasks with more merits, and continue to do so.
To improve oneself. There are some gaps between various demon hunting groups now, but who can say for sure in a few years? In history, many famous and powerful demon hunting groups were unknown when they were formed.
Gu Jin said: "In view of your strong strength and outstanding performance, the Exorcism Pass Military Headquarters has decided to assign you to complete some military tasks from now on."
As he spoke, there was already a soldier behind him holding up a military map...
It is getting late. Compared with yesterday, the offensive of the demons today is much weaker. There are basically no powerful demons participating in the siege. All that rushes are just some cannon fodder. Although it can also cause some losses to the exorcism pass,
But it is far from being able to shake the fundamentals.
Under the cover of the dark night, the Exorcism Pass city gate quietly opened a gap, and then, one after another, figures bent their waists, slipped out of the door lightly, and left quietly along the bottom of the city wall under the cover of the night.
There were not many people in this group, less than a hundred people in total. When the city gate quietly closed again, it was as if nothing had happened.
Naturally, they are the ten new demon hunting groups that have received the military mission of Exorcism Pass. This team is composed of young elites from the six temples. Long Haochen, the leader of the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group, is the temporary captain, and Yang
Wen Zhao and Duan Yi serve as deputy captains and are responsible for commanding all members.
The mission of this trip is not complicated, it is to attack the demon clan's logistics supplies. According to the news from the scouts, at dawn tomorrow morning, there will be a demon clan food transport team transporting supplies to the demon clan camp. Their mission is to destroy the demon clan's
supplies and destroy these supplies on the spot.
Outside the Exorcist Pass, the terrain is dominated by plains and hills. It is not difficult to hide a team of only 61 people like them. Precisely because the terrain is too open, it is impossible for the demon army to cover the entire front of the Exorcist Pass.
Blocked. Therefore, this mission may seem dangerous, but in fact it is not that difficult. After all, the Exorcist Pass rarely sends troops to attack the demon food transport team. This time it was a surprise.
Under the cover of night, sixty-one people silently walked along the side of the Exorcist Pass, until they reached the foot of the Demon-Conquering Mountain Range, and then circled out from the north, looking at the demon camp moving quietly from a distance.
Everyone put on black night clothes and dressed lightly. Even the magicians were not slow with the help of levitation. Summoners and priests also received the assistance of levitation from magicians to reduce consumption as much as possible.
.
It only took them more than half an hour to bypass the twenty-mile alliance of the demon army in front of them. They circled another ten miles to ensure that there were no demon scouts during the constant reconnaissance of the priests' true eyes and the magicians' detection eyes.
Under the circumstances, the knights summoned their mounts, and the summoners also summoned their magical beasts. The sixty-one-person team accelerated with all their strength and headed towards the rear of the demon camp.
Long Haochen and his friends from the No. 1 Knight Demon Hunting Group were at the front. Long Haochen, Cai'er, Chen Yinger and Lin Xin were all on Haoyue's back. There was no way, Chen Yinger was an unreliable summoner.
Ah, I can't summon a suitable mount. However, Haoyue is more than four meters long, so four people don't feel crowded.
Lin Xin used the floating technique to significantly reduce the weight of the four of them, which would not cause much trouble to Haoyue. Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian and Han Yu followed behind. With their external spiritual power, even running wildly for a day would be enough.
They can persist, not to mention Lin Xin's floating technique will take care of them from time to time.
Other demon hunting groups also have their own methods. After all, they all have at least level 4 cultivation and above, and their overall traveling speed is by no means lower than that of a light cavalry squad.
Yang Wenzhao led his No. 2 sergeant-level demon hunting group at the end of the group, and everyone moved forward in silence. Two hours later, they stopped at the demon camp approaching a hilly area three hundred miles away.
Long Haochen summoned the leaders of each demon hunting group to gather together, spread out the map, and searched the surroundings with the magician's eyes.
"Yes, it's right here. According to the intelligence, this road is the only way for the Demon Clan's food transport team." Long Haochen pointed to a relatively flat dirt road under the mountain and whispered.
Yang Wenzhao nodded and said: "There is still more than an hour before dawn. I think we should send a few people out to investigate, while the others rest here and ambush."
Long Haochen said: "It is better to send out monsters than to send people out. Which team's summoner has the ability to summon flying monsters?"
Hearing what he said, everyone's eyes lit up. After all, this was the first time for everyone to cooperate, and it was also a military operation, so there was far from a tacit understanding.
Yang Wenzhao slapped his forehead and said: "Liao Yu from our group can do it. You are so considerate. I will ask him to send flying monsters out to investigate, and the magician's eyes of observation will also be used to constantly check the surrounding situation.
"
Yang Wenzhao simply explained a few words to Liao Yu. After a while, several small flying monsters quietly took off into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Duan Yi said: "According to the intelligence, there are about three thousand demons in the food transport team this time. Most of them are low-level demons. When the battle comes, how will we attack?"
Long Haochen frowned slightly, looked at everyone, and said, "If you have any suggestions, you can tell me."
Lu Xidao: "I think it's better to coordinate the deployment. The magician will be the main attack first, and then the knights, warriors, and summoners will attack together. The assassins will be responsible for joining forces to assassinate the opponent's leader. We priests will be responsible for the overall situation."
This Lu Xi is the leader of the No. 4 Demon Hunting Group, the leader of Li Xin's group, and the only fifth-level priest.
After hearing his words, Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao frowned unconsciously, while Duanyi looked thoughtful. The other leaders of the demon hunting group were also thinking about it but did not take the initiative to express their opinions.
"I don't think this is appropriate." Long Haochen said.
"Huh?" Lu Xi looked at Long Haochen with some surprise. He was already twenty-four years old this year. He was under the age limit to participate in this Demon Hunting Group selection, and he was considered older among the crowd.
He still admired Long Haochen's strength, but Long Haochen looked too young after all. Not only Lu Xi, but also the other leaders of the demon hunting group were somewhat disapproving of him being the captain of this operation.
Long Haochen said: "If Captain Lu's fighting method was used by the army, there would be no problem. But we are not an army. The first problem is that we are not familiar with each other. In this case, facing thousands of
With the enemy, it will be difficult for us to achieve the set goal. Although it is hundreds of miles away from the demon camp, the demons have an air force. After discovering that the food transport team here is attacked, their air force will definitely set off as soon as possible.
, as long as we are held back, it will be difficult to complete this mission."
Lu Xi frowned slightly and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Long Haochen said: "Each demon hunting group fights on its own, charging into the enemy camp from different positions. The food transport team must move forward in a long snake formation, and the line will be stretched longer. Each of our hunting groups must
After getting familiar with each other on the road these days and running in on the battlefield yesterday, the demon group has at least established a preliminary tacit understanding. By launching attacks from different locations, they will not interfere with each other and can bring out the maximum combat effectiveness of their respective teams. As long as
Cut off the enemy's food transport team and then set fire to each one, which will definitely cause great losses to the demons in a short period of time. Try to buy as much time as possible."
Lu Xi said in a deep voice: "But have you ever thought about it? In this way, each of our demon hunting groups may face the siege of powerful enemies. Each demon hunting group only has six people. In this case,
What should I do if I encounter danger?"
Long Haochen said confidently: "We cannot rule out encountering such a situation. At that time, all teams can only help each other and help as much as possible. Moreover, with the overall strength of our teams, even if we encounter a seventh-level powerhouse, we should be able to help each other."
It can withstand for a while. The possibility of a seventh-level powerhouse in the food transport team is extremely low. More importantly, please don’t forget that this is a trial. What we have to do is to complete the task as much as possible, and even
It is said that we should obtain merit as much as possible. It is important to protect our own safety, but this task also belongs to our team leader."
To be able to become a member of the demon hunting group, everyone is a smart person. Everyone immediately understood Long Haochen's last words.
Lu Xi also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He glanced at Long Haochen with deep meaning, but no longer raised any questions. But he was secretly surprised. Although Long Haochen was not old, he was quite thoughtful.
, and he was calm and wise in his answers. More importantly, he found the focus of this trial. That is to complete the task as much as possible and obtain meritorious service.
There is no doubt that Long Haochen's arrangement is the most conducive to this goal. We are all in a demon hunting group, and everyone hopes to obtain more meritorious deeds. Once they attack together, they are likely to be in different teams, in order to obtain more merits.
Constrained by merit.
Although Long Haochen didn't say it explicitly, Lu Xi naturally thought of this. Since each demon hunting group fought independently, there would be no such problem. Although they seemed to be dispersed, their strength was also dispersed. But after all, each group fought independently.
A demon hunting group is an all-professional team, with extremely strong survivability, and they will fight for their demon hunting group wholeheartedly. Moreover, the ten leaders did not follow them openly, but they will let their own leadership go.
Did the demon hunting group suffer a devastating blow?
The eyes of all the group leaders have lit up at this time, and everyone is a little eager to try. What they are thinking about now is how to lead the group members to kill as many demons as possible.
"I agree with Haochen." Yang Wenzhao was the first to raise his hand.
Duanyi nodded slightly, "I agree too."
Lu Xi took a deep breath and said, "I agree."
The four of them unified their opinions, and the other regiment leaders also understood what Long Haochen meant, and the battle plan was immediately approved. The next step was to arrange some details.
There is also a gap in the strength of the ten demon hunting groups. Long Haochen arranged their four demon hunting groups, No. 1, 2, 3, and 4, evenly on the battle line. This way, they can rescue the weaker hunters around them.
Demonic group.
The ten demon hunting groups quietly separated and were arranged in the hilly area about two miles away. The specific order is as follows. The No. 5 Demon Hunting Group at the sergeant level is at the front, followed by Long Haochen's No. 1 Demon Hunting Group, and after that
They are No. 6, No. 2, No. 7, No. 3, No. 8, No. 4, and at the end are No. 9 and No. 10 Demon Hunting Groups. These two demon hunting groups are close to each other. And No. 4, the closest hunting group to them,
The Demon Group is also the strongest team in this team in terms of healing ability.
Such a temporarily formed team, under the quick arrangements of several group leaders, is in order. Each of them is resting in place, gearing up and quietly waiting for the arrival of the mission target.
The dark sky gradually turned into dark blue, and birds flew back from a distance. After a while, each demon hunting group received the news. The intelligence was accurate. The demon food transport team was coming here, about
They will arrive in about half an hour. There are about three thousand in number. They are mainly the double-sword demons and magic-eye warlocks of the Zelin tribe.
All the members of the Demon Hunting Group began to prepare and looked quietly to the east.
When the first ray of dawn appeared in the distant east, a long queue also appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Every eight Zelin clan double-sword demons pulled a large cart, slowly coming towards their direction. The detecting eyes of the magicians of each team began to work. There were about two hundred carriages in the convoy, all of which were
The double-sword demons were pulling at them, and there were also some strong double-sword demons, and the magic-eyed warlocks were guarding them. There were only a few thousand demons responsible for guarding the food team.
"Haochen, there is nothing wrong with the overall observation, but there is a grain truck in the middle and front of the team that looks a little weird." Lin Xin whispered to Long Haochen while releasing his exploratory eyes to observe.
Lin Xin doesn't know how to attack, but his auxiliary magic is unrivaled among all the demon hunting groups. His exploratory eyes are much more careful to observe.
"Oh? What's weird?" Long Haochen asked quickly.
Lin Xin said: "Other grain trucks left deep traces on the ground, but that one left very shallow traces on the ground. More importantly, there were six grain trucks on both sides.
The Magic Eye Warlock, who is slightly taller than the ordinary Magic Eye Warlock, is guarded by four green double-sword demons. There seems to be something important. According to the current formation arrangement, this carriage will be within our attack range. I'm afraid
It will be more difficult.”
Long Haochen nodded slightly. Six powerful magic eye warlocks plus four green double-sword demons were indeed a powerful force.
Sima Xian's eyes were full of fighting spirit, "Whatever, kill his mother."
Wang Yuanyuan rubbed her Giant Spirit God's Shield. Although she didn't say anything, she immediately took out her three crystal stones and looked at Long Haochen, waiting for his decision.
