Chapter Ninety-Five: The Last Mission

Zisang Liuying's voice was not afraid, as if it had ignited the students of the Spirit Furnace Academy.

"Not afraid, we are not afraid!" The other team shouted as well.

The general raised his hand, and the tent became quiet again. He glanced at the roster in his hand and said in a surging voice: "This time I came to carry out the mission, and there are a total of one hundred and eighty-four students in the three grades of the Spirit Furnace Academy. In the course of the mission, they were attacked by an army of the undead, and one of the 143 returnees was missing. In the face of the undead, missing means dead. ”

Listening to his somewhat calm words, the already very depressing atmosphere seemed to explode at this moment.

The captain of one of the squads suddenly walked out and said indignantly: "The task we received was only to deal with the third-order undead, why would we suddenly encounter an attack by the army of undead." Why doesn't the military have any message to alert us?"

The general looked at him calmly, "Because this is the undead." No one knows where the undead creatures will gather their armies. You don't know, and I don't know. Among the undead creatures is a species called the Crypt Spider, which can carve holes up to 100 meters deep underground, and carry the undead creatures along at will, allowing them to appear anywhere. We have no news, how can we notify you? And this is how our soldiers faced undead creatures in the previous decades. Ordinary soldiers are like this, as a genius of the Spirit Furnace Academy, is there anything special about you? Just because you're geniuses? Do I need to explain everything to you? Or even send a babysitter to protect you? What kind of genius are you like that?" By the end, his voice was already full of coldness.

Everyone fell silent again, as students of the Spirit Furnace Academy, each of them had their own pride. However, when facing the army of thousands of undead, no matter how talented they are, they will still be full of powerlessness.

"Do you know why your teammates are missing? I've got some data to tell you. The army of the undead you are facing can also be called the undead cannon fodder army, yes, it is the weakest cannon fodder army among the undead creatures. Generally speaking, for every low-level undead creature of three thousand of these kinds, there will be a lich to command and command. Before they were formed, they were not strong in their own right, and their speed was not fast. With your average fifth-order strength, is it difficult to get out of the battlefield?"

"But how do you do it? All the data I've had so far shows that none of the squads chose to leave in the first place, but stayed to face the army of the undead and try to resist. The better squads will send personnel back to report the situation to the military headquarters for support, but more often than not, all members will stay on the battlefield and try to resist the army of the undead. That's your self-confidence?"

"Of course, you'll tell me it's buying time for the military department. However, did your teacher tell you before this assessment that the first thing you need to do is to protect yourself? Did you do it? All your losses are self-inflicted, and if you choose to leave the battlefield and join up with your allies at the first opportunity, then there will be no tragedy. You are strong individually, but you are also fearless and ignorant. Can you tell me why you did this? I'll answer for you, for the simple reason that you covet merit and merit from killing undead creatures. Am I right?"

Hearing the general's words, most of the students present subconsciously lowered their heads. Yes, this was the reason why the vast majority of people stayed behind and chose to resist the undead creatures at that time, even Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong, and Ling Monroe were no exception.

It is precisely because of this that they have lost the best opportunity to leave the battlefield. When shadows and spirits appear on the battlefield and entangle these squads, the squads that are absolutely not strong will naturally fall.

During the mock assessment with the demons, they all knew that they would not die, so they fought bravely. However, when the real actual combat appeared, there was less reverence for war in their hearts.

Most of the students bowed their heads, and only a few did not. For example, Zisang Liuying's team, and Ling Mengroe's team.

"This time, I would like to give special recognition to the five squads, who relied on their strong enough strength to block the advance of the undead army and wait for reinforcements, or even annihilate the undead army. The total merits they have won, from high to low, are, first place, Zisang Liuying team, second place, Ling Monroe team, third place......"

Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong were both slightly stunned, second place? You know, they killed a seventh-order lich! And it is equivalent to defeating that undead army, even in this case, is it only the second place? What did they do?

At this time, Zisang Liuying's eyes just looked at Ling Menglu, their eyes were facing each other, Zisang Liuying's eyes were firm, there were some other things, and her eyes were burning.

Ling Menglu just looked at her and smiled slightly, but Long Dangdang, who was standing beside her, clearly felt a pain in his arm, as if two slender fingers were twisting the epidermis of his arm and rotating it one hundred and eighty degrees.

Long Dangdang's expression stiffened for a moment, but he finally endured it. After all, my cousin's face can't be lost!

"Your assessment is not complete, because the task is not over. Next, you will head to the northwest together. Yes, all 143 cadets went together. As a squadron, you go to guard Jingmen Village in the north. Thirty miles away from Jingmen Village, an army of the undead appeared. Our main army needs to deal with the undead in the south, Jingmen Village is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the rear of the army. Your task is to stay there for five hours. Do you understand?"

Speaking of this, the general paused before continuing: "Now you are no longer geniuses in the ivory tower, but soldiers. Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and carry out the tasks I have given you, and you are real soldiers. Otherwise, you are waste. You don't have time to grieve now, and you don't have time to rest and lick your wounds. All you have to do now is to complete the last task. Now, let's go!"

After saying that, the general stood up, and a powerful momentum burst out from him.

"Zisang Liuying, Ling Menglu column."

Zisang Liuying and Ling Menglu took a step forward respectively.

"Your squadron is temporarily named the Spirit Furnace Squadron, with Zisang Liuying as the squadron leader and Ling Menglu as the deputy squadron leader. You have already understood the task, is there a problem with guarding Jingmen Village for five hours?"

Zisang Liuying's beautiful eyes became extraordinarily bright, she quickly straightened up, and gave a military salute, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

"Everyone, this trip is under the command of the two captains. Let's go!"

Zisang Liuying and Ling Menglu walked out of the military tent side by side, and the moment they walked out of the military tent, Zisang Liuying whispered to herself: "This time, it seems that I won."

Ling Menglu also didn't look at her, she always had a surging smile on her face, "The assessment is not over yet." ”

Zisang Liuying said: "Actually, this time I am a little invincible, after all, you don't have a magician. In such a large-scale battlefield, the role of the magician is too important. If you don't have a magician, you're really at a loss. ”

Ling Menglu glanced at her and said, "Captain, then let's wait and see."

One hundred and forty-three junior students of the Spirit Furnace Academy had already walked out of the military tent at this time. A lot of people's faces are ugly until now.

This is especially true for some second- and third-year students.

Let's not talk about whether there are partners who have fallen, at this time, the temporary squadron leader and deputy squadron leader are actually from the first grade, which makes them seniors a little shameless.

Everyone is a genius of the Spirit Furnace Academy, and they have not studied for a year or two, but they are already above them. How does this make them, who are also geniuses, accept it in their hearts?

Zisang Liuying stood at the front, her eyes swept over everyone, and her voice clearly reached everyone's ears, "I know, many seniors are a little unconvinced, and Monroe and I are standing here. However, now is not the time to be unconvinced. We have lost so many classmates and partners. We now have an even more difficult task ahead of us. I was designated as a temporary squadron leader, which was an honor, but also a responsibility. We've lost so many partners before, so I'm afraid the next task will only be more difficult. All I can assure you of is that if the enemy is too strong to resist, I will be the last to leave the battlefield. ”

Her words were sonorous and powerful, with a strong confidence in her voice, but also a sense of convincing. The look of dissatisfaction was noticeably reduced among the students.

Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong did not have much contact with Zisang Liuying, it can be said that there was only one time when Long Dangdang rejected Zisang Liuying. But at this moment, listening to Zisang Liuying's words, the brothers couldn't help but have some admiration in their hearts.

Long Kongkong whispered in Long Dangdang's ear: "It's worthy of the Elemental Saintess, there is something." My cousin has a rival. ”

Long Dangdang said: "To be able to be called a genius in the Spirit Furnace Academy is definitely not an ordinary person. Their total merits are still above us, and the enemies they have defeated before will certainly not be weaker than ours. ”

"From now on, I want us to be able to work as a whole and not as a squad from before. All occupations will be uniformly deployed. Only in this way can we give full play to our combat effectiveness. Now, let's regroup with your own classes. From left to right, there are knights, warriors, assassins, mages, summoners, and priests. Assemble now. ”

Zisang Liuying's voice was a little cold, but it also had an unquestionable taste. At this moment, she is like a female general commanding an army.

Ling Menglu stood beside her and never spoke, as if she had given up all the scenery to her.

Everyone also understood the seriousness of the situation, and the large number of injuries from the previous students made these geniuses of the Spirit Furnace Academy less self-conscious, and they did not slack off when they heard this, and quickly rearranged the team.

Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong naturally entered the knight's camp, the brothers were next to each other, and the position in front was already occupied by the senior students, and they could only stand in a relatively backward place.

"Let's go!" Zisang Liuying waved the staff in his hand and took the lead.

Ling Menglu followed her, and it was only at this moment that Zisang Liuying turned her head to look at her as she walked, and said, "Do you have anything to add?" Vice-Captain. ”

Ling Menglu just smiled slightly and said, "No, you have done a good job."

"Well, you're right." Zisang Liuying responded coldly, stopped talking, and continued to stride forward.

At the same time, she raised the staff in her hand, and she didn't see her chanting a spell, and the light body technique and levitation technique that Long Dangdang had once performed fell on everyone separately. Yes, covering all 140 students.

"Good guy, this is almost the sixth order, right?" Long Kongkong felt his body become a little lighter, and said in amazement.

Long Dangdang nodded and said, "No, it should be almost the same." When she was using magic, she had the feeling that she had become part of the elements. This is one of the characteristics of the sixth order. ”

Long Kongkong said: "It's so strong!"

Long Dangdang said: "You make it louder, so that your cousin can hear it too."

One hundred and forty-three members of the Spirit Furnace Squadron accelerated under the leadership of Zisang Liuying and Ling Menglu, with the blessing of wind magic, and everyone's speed was very fast.

The knights are at the front, the warriors are behind, the assassins are divided into two groups, guarding the two sides, and the three major legal professions are in the center. The Priest class wields the True Eye to be on the lookout for stealthy undead creatures.

I have to say that the Spirit Furnace Academy is the Spirit Furnace Academy, although it has experienced the previous blow, but at this moment, no one is immersed in grief and cannot extricate themselves, but they all grit their teeth and devote themselves to the next task. In the process of moving forward, they are also able to adjust their own state, not only physically, but also strive to adjust their mentality.

All the way to the north, when everyone saw Jingmen Village, they were surprised to find that this was a very lively village.

The size of the village is quite large, judging by the number of houses in the village, there are about 300 households.

There are also 300 soldiers guarding here at the same time, all of them warriors in full armor.

When he saw the arrival of the people from the Spirit Furnace Academy, a captain led by him greeted him with ten soldiers.

He gave a military salute to Zisang Liuying, "Hello, I am Tian Hao, the leader of the Jingmen squadron who is responsible for guarding here. We have received orders from the military headquarters, and from now on, our squadron will be at your disposal. Please instruct. ”
