Chapter 146: The Advantage Is Still on Our Side!

Hero's Main City.

"Bang!"

Shen Jun slammed his fist hard onto the table.

"Damn it, is the Ninth Squad useless? Didn't even get a clear look at the enemy before getting wiped out?"

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

Zhou Kai beside him was also pale-faced:

"Jun… Jun-ge, did Lin Mo and the others really all leave the city?"

"If all twenty elites of this session's Long Xu Ban struck at once and focused-fire to instantly kill the Ninth Squad, it would be possible…"

"After all, this session is packed with powerhouses."

"But… isn't this too absurd? They really don't even want their home anymore?"

Gu Qingge was still relatively calm at this moment.

She rapidly analyzed the fragments the Ninth Squad's captain had transmitted back at the end.

"No, it doesn't have to be everyone."

Gu Qingge said in a deep voice:

"Do you still remember the Ninth Squad captain's last words?"

"That shows the main attack on them was fire-type skills. And extremely terrifying, wide-area fire-type skills at that."

"If twenty people focused-fired, the skills would surely be all over the place — not just fire-type."

"And among this session's twenty Long Xu Ban members, there's no fire-specialist mage, so I guess… most likely the one who instantly killed the Ninth Squad was Lin Mo."

"In other words, Lin Mo is actually a top-tier fire mage!"

Shen Jun took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

As commander-in-chief, he couldn't fall apart.

Shen Jun's gaze gradually sharpened:

"No matter how many of them there are, and no matter whether they all went out or he went alone."

Shen Jun suddenly raised his head, a flash of vicious ruthlessness in his eyes:

"Pass down my order!"

"The Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Tenth, and Eleventh Squads! These five squads are to immediately stop advancing toward the Demon King's City!"

"All of you change direction and converge on Lin Mo's coordinates!"

"Among these five squads, there are a hundred and fifty water mages. The moment you see Lin Mo, immediately join forces to cast Water Shields."

"I'd like to see if their fire can still burn!"

Shen Jun studied the map on his panel and said quietly:

"These five hundred men have only two tasks!"

"First, find out exactly how many people Lin Mo has with him!"

"Second, if possible, surround and kill Lin Mo on the spot! As long as we take down the Demon King, we win outright!"

Gu Qingge nodded and added:

"What about the remaining squads?"

Shen Jun pointed toward the Demon King's City:

"The remaining fourteen squads — five squads continue to garrison the Hero's Main City, the other nine squads continue the original plan and drive straight into the Demon King's City!"

"If they really all left the city, then the Demon King's City is an empty shell right now."

"If they only brought part of their people out of the city, then the current garrison force at the Demon King's City is more than enough for nine squads to crush."

After Zhou Kai heard this deployment, his confidence surged at once:

"This way, no matter what trick Lin Mo is playing, we're in an unassailable position!"

"However…"

"From the rewards, Lin Mo most likely also has lightning skills… lightning counters water."

Gu Qingge picked up the thread and said, shaking her head:

"Lightning may counter water, but his fire is already this strong — lightning can't possibly be this strong too."

"One person's energy is limited. That's common sense."

Shen Jun nodded, confidence returning to his face:

"Exactly."

"This time, I'm going to let him know that in the face of absolute numbers and tactics, individual bravery is nothing but a fool's valor!"

"The advantage is still on our side!"

……

……

High above, the gale howled.

Lin Mo flapped the blazing wind-wings on his back, heading toward the Hero's Main City.

He hummed a little tune, watching the scenery flash by far below.

His mood at this moment was exceptionally good.

【【Fireball】, drunk on the instant kill just now, said in an enraptured voice: Too wonderful, this is the art of destruction.】

【【Earth Shield】, weakly playing straight man on the side: Big bro is mighty! Big bro is domineering! Big bro's Flame Howl move just now was simply too cool!】

【【Earth Shield】, face full of worship: If only I had half of Big bro's awesomeness…】

【【Fireball】, snorted smugly: Hmph, kid, you just keep learning slowly.】

Just then,

Lin Mo's gaze sharpened slightly.

On the distant horizon, several dark, dense square formations had appeared, charging rapidly toward him.

At a rough glance, there were at least several hundred people.

"Yo?"

"Here to deliver heads again?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

【【Fireball】—flames around its body suddenly surged: More work? Quick, let this seat burn them all to ash!】

Lin Mo rubbed his chin, thinking.

He had already tried Hearing Xiao Huo's 【Flame Howl】 earlier, and the effect was indeed quite good.

So next… it was time to try Xiao Lei's new skill.

Last night Xiao Lei had comprehended the high-tier skill 【Heavenly Punishment · Thundercloud Purgatory】—if this thing came crashing down, the scene should be quite beautiful, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo called out in his heart:

"Xiao Lei, stop sleeping, get ready—it's your turn to perform."

However, before 【Lightning Strike】 could respond,

【【Fireball】 said excitedly: No! This seat wants in!】

Lin Mo said somewhat helplessly in his heart:

"But Xiao Huo, you already had your fun just now—shouldn't it be Xiao Lei's turn to have some fun?"

【【Fireball】 waved its flames about: This seat hasn't had enough fun yet! That last wave was only a hundred people, not satisfying at all! There's such a big clump up ahead—burning them will definitely be beautiful. This seat doesn't care, this seat wants to burn them to death!】

"……"

Lin Mo felt somewhat helpless.

Since the people under him had such strong initiative, forcing them down wouldn't be good either—what if it dampened their enthusiasm?

"Fine then, one more round for you, next time it's Xiao Lei's turn, alright?"

【【Fireball】 danced wildly with joy: Hehehe, that's more like it! This is what this seat's good master should be like!】
