Chapter 123 Going deep behind enemy lines
Li Xin quickly entered the state of absorbing the spirit furnace.
Waves of spiritual energy emerged, and the whole process was quite stable.
After all, the Light and Shadow Spirit Furnace is very suitable for knights, so there is no need to worry about accidents.
Ye Tian stayed for a while, and after making sure that nothing unusual would happen, he disappeared into the different space.
Return to the Exorcist Barracks.
Several gazes gathered.
"Brother, where is Xin'er?" Lin Jialu asked with some confusion.
Ye Tian simply responded, "Sister Xin is staying in the spirit furnace space to do something very important. We will set off later. It will not delay the mission."
Hearing this, the other companions all looked curious.
"The Holy Spirit Furnace has this special effect?"
Ye Tian smiled and did not explain.
"While we still have time, let's take a break and discuss the tactics required for this mission."
"There will be a big battle in the early morning, so it's better to be prepared in advance."
"Everyone come over here!"
Others came forward one after another.
Ye Tian didn't waste any words and explained the task arrangements concisely.
"Although there are ten demon hunting groups participating in the attack on the demon food transport team, they will most likely fight on their own at that time. Only in this way can the strongest strength of each team be brought into play."
"When the battle breaks out, Cai'er hides in the dark, always on the lookout for sneak attacks from high-level demons. Sister Jialu and Sister Juqing will be the first to use magic to help clear the way."
"After this, Sister Yuanyuan, don't worry about anything. I will help you deal with the remaining demons. You just need to break through the defense line with Sister Xin and destroy the supplies."
"We will definitely encounter stubborn resistance from the demons. Xiaomo, summon plants to control the situation in advance. While protecting Sister Jialu and the others, you can also clean up those low-level demons."
"As for Sister Mina, the focus should be on assisting Sister Jialu and the others."
Having said that, Ye Tian paused for a moment.
He slowly raised his head and glanced at the girls present with a smile.
"That's roughly the tactic. I'll change the specific details on the spot. The purpose of this mission is to be quick!"
"After all, this is the demon territory. We must not delay. We must destroy the supplies and retreat as soon as possible."
"Of course, if something unexpected happens, you should prioritize your own safety, and then consider supporting other demon hunting groups."
"Any questions?"
The women slowly shook their heads.
Everyone was quite convinced of Ye Tian’s arrangement.
Not only because of his strength, but also because of his previous experiences, all members of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Group regard him as their backbone.
Seeing this, Ye Tian also nodded slightly.
"Well, since no one has any objections, let's take a rest and gather our strength for the upcoming battle."
"Don't be too nervous. I will do my best to bring everyone back safely."
Time passes minute by minute.
The sky gradually darkened, and the demons launched another attack.
However, compared with yesterday, the demons were obviously not serious today. Basically, there were no powerful demons participating in the siege; they were just cannon fodder.
Although it can cause some damage to the Exorcist Pass, it is far from being able to shake the foundation.
The night is getting darker.
The gate of the Exorcist Pass quietly opened a crack.
One after another, figures crouched and slipped out from the cracks in the door nimbly, using the cover of night to quietly leave along the bottom of the city wall.
The entire process did not alarm any demons.
When the city gates closed again, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. These figures were naturally the members of the ten demon hunting groups.
There are a total of sixty-four people.
Ye Tian, leader of the No. 1 Sergeant-level Demon Hunting Group, serves as temporary captain, Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao serve as deputy captains, responsible for commanding all members.
Taking advantage of the night, the temporary team rushed towards the target location.
Everyone changed into black night clothes and traveled light.
Follow the Exorcist Pass all the way to the foot of the Demon-Controlling Mountains, and then go out from the north side.
Along the way, he used the Eagle Eye Technique to successfully avoid most of the demons. When he encountered a situation that was unavoidable, he successfully resolved the problem without alerting the enemy.
It only took half an hour to successfully bypass the Demon Clan's twenty-mile camp.
After making sure there were no demon scouts, the knights and summoners summoned their demon beast mounts and accelerated at full speed towards the rear of the demon camp.
Ye Tian and his companions from the No. 1 Class Demon Hunting Group were at the front of the team.
But compared to other demon hunting groups, their situation is a bit complicated.
Ye Tian has two mount partners, but the sacred dragon Ling'er is huge in size and is flying in the sky, making it too conspicuous.
As for Arceus, Xiaorou can only carry two people at most.
In addition, Summoner Bai Xiaomo is a rare plant-based summoner and cannot summon magical beasts for transportation.
Most of the team members are fragile and have low external spiritual power. Even with the help of levitation, they cannot run for a long time.
Fortunately, Xiaorou came to help in time and used her superpowers to drag everyone forward.
With the little guy's strength, it wouldn't be too much of a burden even if he brought other people along on the journey.
Another two hours later, the temporary team stopped at a hill three hundred miles away from the demon camp.
The leaders of the demon hunting groups gathered together, looking at the map while letting the magician use the Eye of Exploration to check the surrounding situation.
"We have arrived at the location according to the intelligence in advance. This is the only way for the demon tribe's food transport team to pass."
As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, everyone looked down.
A relatively flat and simple dirt road came into view.
Yang Wenzhao was the first to suggest, "There is still about an hour until dawn. We can send a few people out to investigate the situation, and the others will ambush in advance so that there will be time to buffer if something goes wrong."
All the demon hunting group leaders nodded slightly in agreement.
"Brother Yang, what you said makes sense," Long Haochen took over the conversation, "but I think it would be better to send a flying monster."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Brother Long is really thoughtful."
"That's decided then. At the same time, all magicians must use their Exploration Eyes to stay alert to the surrounding situation."
Ye Tian nodded softly and then talked about another topic.
"Then the next step is about the attack method."
"My opinion is that the ten demon hunting groups should fight independently and attack the demon food transport team from different positions to cut off the entire food transport team."
"This will also prevent the demon hunting groups from hindering each other in the pursuit of merit, thereby unleashing the maximum combat effectiveness of the team."
Everyone's eyes lit up again.
No one is a fool to be a member of the demon hunting group.
Even if the temporary team is there to complete the mission, it is inevitable that some people will have concerns or do some small actions in private in order to gain more merits.
But if they are separated, there will be no such concerns.
"But what if a team is besieged by a powerful enemy?"
The person who spoke was Lu Xi, the leader of the Level 5 Demon Hunting Group.
He was also the only fifth-level priest present.
