Chapter 55 The Beginning

"It's all arranged?" a black-haired woman stood beside a pink chubby Crow beast outside Star City, and suddenly asked.

"Rest assured, Lord Deacon, everything has been arranged. The group of barbarians in the Shadow Hall don't know how to use their brains at all, they are too easy to fool, and there will be no problems. A man in black stepped out of the shadows and said disdainfully.

"They have the strongest power on this continent, and naturally they are used to overwhelming people with force. The black-haired woman said lightly.

"Well, soon they won't. The man in black couldn't help but say.

"Alright, since this side is over, let's evacuate quickly. The black-haired woman flipped over and got on the Crowmon, leaving behind a few words and leaving.

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Mr. Hunt set off with the students. Because of the Void Rift, and because they weren't particularly familiar with the situation over there, they chose to walk to their destination.

Unlike the monotonous hues of Allanton City, Ayton Plains is very colorful. Not unlike its name, it is a solid plain, so flat that there are almost no ups and downs. It's just that as far as the eye can see, the whole plain is a sea of flowers.

Teacher Hunter walked in front, and Pyrrhid followed with a blank face. The students looked at the beautiful scenery around them, and they could only marvel in their hearts, and the group was moving forward rapidly among the thousands of flowers.

After walking for about half a day, the number of flowers along the way plummeted, until then there was almost no vegetation visible. "Everyone, please pay attention to safety, you should have entered the range of Void Energy. Yin Yi felt a strange energy and opened his mouth to warn.

Mr. Hunter looked back and didn't speak, but slowed down slightly. The students also restrained their mood and began to become vigilant.

After a little further march, a camp appeared in front of them. At the entrance of the camp stood two rows of guards like those in the Ellanton Magic Association, and the inside of the camp was divided into two parts, left and right. On the left, it should be the local garrison of the Ass Empire, while on the right are mercenaries from all over the world, gathered together in mercenary groups, barely in order.

"Okay, rest here for a while, eat something, and wait for the notice from the Empire. After leading everyone to find a vacant lot, Mr. Hunt turned around and said.

After a while, an officer-like figure came to the center of the camp and used a loudspeaker circle to inform everyone that they were ready to go. The local garrison of the Ace Empire opened the way in front, and the other mercenary groups followed in order of resting positions, keeping order behind.

"I didn't let the mercenary group explore the way ahead. Yin Yi whispered in surprise.

"The armies of the Ace Empire believe in justice and glory, and it is a shame for them to let others find the way for them. Li Rui explained to Yin Yi in a low voice on the side.

"Then they must be strong. After listening to Li Rui's words, Yin Yi took this sentence.

"Strong? yes, they're pretty strong. In terms of combat capability alone, they are the strongest on the mainland. Li Rui said.

"It's no wonder that Mr. Hunt chose this destination, which makes our task much less difficult. Li Rui continued.

Yin Yi nodded to Ares and did not speak again.

After about ten miles of progress, the sound of battle came from ahead. Just as the mercenary groups were about to send people to investigate, a small group of soldiers from the front troops ran towards them.

"The front is already engaged with the shadow beasts, you can find your own vacant positions to fight, please try not to encroach on the position of the army and interfere with our position. A young-looking herald came to Yin Yi's team and said mildly.

Mr. Hunter stepped forward, asked about the battle situation, and then said that he would definitely pay special attention to the position of his team. The herald, after politely thanking him, left for the next mercenary group.

"Luckily, the scale of the Shadow Beast is not large, and there are no Shadow Demon Beasts for the time being. Pyreid, you lead the team into the battlefield from the side, there are more empty seats there. Teacher Hunter roughly counted the number of people and then spoke. Since it is the hunting task of the academy, it must be completed by the students themselves, so unless it is absolutely necessary, Teacher Hunt will not directly participate in the battle.

After Pyrrhid and his classmates walked around to the side of the battlefield, they found that there were already many mercenary groups here. The battle scene does look relatively relaxed, and most of the shadow beasts this time are small and medium-sized beasts similar to the size of the Wind Beast, and although their strength is still strong, there are not many of them. The army of the Ace Empire faced most of the shadow beasts head-on, and the shadow beasts on the mercenary group's side were even rarer, with each regiment only needing to deal with three or four shadow beasts at the same time.

Most of the members of the surrounding mercenary groups had a slightly surprised look on their faces, and the mercenaries who were less stressed couldn't help but talk to each other. A small-scale Shadow Beast outbreak like this was extremely rare for them. Although the distribution of beasts in the Ayton Plains is not dense, it should not be so few.

"Let's get started. With a faint remark, Pyrrhid swung his sword and joined the warband, leaving the students looking at each other.

"Those boys over there, come over here, and we'll make some room for you. An uncle-like mercenary shouted at his classmates, who were a little overwhelmed.

"Yin Yi, what should I do?" Li Rui asked.

"Let's go over, Ares, you lead the team. Yin Yi said to Ares.

"Good. Ares nodded and shouted, "Students, don't mess around, follow me." Let's go over there and prepare for the battle, just like the grouping we had at last night's break. Stand in small groups, with defensive fighters following me, speed assassins following Li Rui for containment and support, and others for firepower. ”

The quality of the classmates is still quite high, and when I saw someone taking the lead, everyone was also convinced of Ares. So immediately according to the instructions to stand in formation.

"Thank you, uncle. Ares led his classmates to the mercenary uncle and thanked him.

"It's okay, you little guys are quite brave enough to dare to challenge the Shadow Beast at such a young age. Okay, this position will be handed over to you, let's assign a shadow beast for you to practice your hands first. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. The uncle waved his hand, and after speaking boldly, he turned around and began to direct his teammates to lure over a shadow beast that was fighting them.

Seeing this, Ares hurriedly led the defensive warriors to take over. The classmates cooperated well with Ares, and with Li Rui and them being restrained from time to time, the shadow beast was quickly controlled.

"Thank you so much, I don't know what you call it. After the scene stabilized, Yin Yi walked up to the uncle and asked.

"Haha, we are the Djinn Mercenary Group, little one, if you really thank us, just invite us to eat Uncle Thanos's barbecue next time we meet. The uncle smiled and patted Yin Yi's shoulder, and left after speaking.

Yin Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then shouted with a smile: "No problem, the barbecue tube is full." ”

------ dividing lines-------

"My lord, the battle has already begun over there. Pat said as he walked over to Tanas.

"Hmm. Tanas nodded, his eyes staring at the screaming Shadow Beast trapped there somehow, not knowing what to think.

"My lord, Reed's side is running out of hold, shall we lure those shadow beasts over?" Pat couldn't help but ask again.

"Is Hunter's location confirmed?" asked Tanas, turning his head at Pat.

"Confirmed, my lord, I have sent someone to keep an eye on him. Pat replied.

"Okay, in a moment, let Reed take the group of shadow beasts and rush directly to the location of the mercenary group. Then let people lead these shadow monsters to the battle array of the Ace Empire. As for Hunter's side, I'll go there myself, and you take that idiot to intercept the target and complete the mission. Tanas commanded slowly in a deep voice.

"But my lord, we should give priority to completing the task, Hunter doesn't need to go there in person... Pat said hesitantly.

"Hmph, who of you but me is sure you can stop Hunter. And how to complete the task, I still need you to teach?" said Tanas with a cold snort.

"Yes, sir. Pat bowed his head in response, not daring to say anything more, and quickly turned away.

Tanas withdrew his gaze, took out a dagger and stroked it gently, and the whole figure slowly disappeared.

On this side of the battlefield, Yin Yi and the others have already resisted three waves of attacks. At this point, they could already face two shadow beasts at the same time, and there was little pressure. The students' initial fear of the Shadow Beast gradually dissipated, and they became more and more comfortable cooperating, and the expressions on their faces became much more relaxed.

And Yin Yi listened to the conversation of the mercenaries around him, and looked at the increasingly relaxed battle situation, but frowned. He found a gap and flashed to Li Rui's side and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything unusual about Blue today?"

"Hey, I didn't find any problems, and it was normal all along. Seeing Yin Yi who suddenly appeared, Li Rui was also stunned for a moment, and then answered.

"What's wrong Yin Yi, have you found anything wrong?" asked Li Rui.

"Not yet, but almost all the mercenaries around them feel that this Shadow Beast outbreak is a bit unusual. So I'm a little worried that this unusualness might be artificial. Yin Yi replied.

"How is it possible, who can have such a great ability to intervene in the Shadow Beast Outbreak. Li Rui said with some disbelief.

Yin Yi thought of the situation in the Wind Whispering Forest, and looked at Li Rui firmly and advised: "No matter what, there is nothing wrong with being careful. If there is any accident, you will lead the students to evacuate first. ”

"Okay, why am I leading?" Li Rui felt Yin Yi's attitude, nodded and asked.

"If it's really a man-made anomaly, then it's probably for Ares. Yin Yi lowered his voice and said, his eyes were a little cold.

"Understood. Li Rui didn't say anything more when he heard this, signaling Yin Yi to rest assured.
