Chapter 120: Command All Forces! The Great Battle Is About to Begin! (Subscribe!)

"Annihilate all these Flame Demons?"

Sun Hao and the others were startled by these words, and hurriedly waved their hands with a bitter smile:

"No, no, Brother Zhou. Our squad is far too weak. Even with your augmentation, at best we could only handle twenty-plus Flame Demons. Any more than that, and we wouldn't be able to hold."

"By my estimate, combining all three of our squads together—

"At most we could handle around a hundred Flame Demons, and that would be at the cost of considerable losses."

"Relying on just us, annihilating all these demons is simply impossible."

In the previous encounter, they had already seen that these Flame Demons' combat style was highly disciplined.

They were absolutely a properly trained military unit!

The more numerous such a legion of demons, the stronger their combat power!

Even with Zhou Yi's Holy Light able to counter them, facing 160 demons and annihilating them all would be nearly impossible.

The safest course of action was still to break out directly.

After all, the difference between breaking out and annihilating them was like night and day!

"What if I told you I have a way to hold back half of these Flame Demons?"

"Would you reconsider?"

Zhou Yi's expression was steady.

His purpose in entering the Gale Wind Mountain Range, besides searching for the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus, was to raise his own strength as much as possible.

In these people's eyes, these Flame Demons were an utterly terrifying existence.

But in his eyes, these demons were walking experience packs!

After all, wild magical beasts almost never gathered together in swarms like this.

If he could kill all these demons, he would surely get a huge wave of experience!

Of course...

Relying on himself alone, he definitely couldn't handle so many Flame Demons at once—at most he could try to handle half of them.

But if everyone joined in, then it would be a different story.

"This..."

Sun Hao and the others exchanged glances, clearly not expecting Zhou Yi to make this decision.

After a moment's thought, Sun Hao gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Since Brother Zhou Yi has said as much, let's go all out with you!"

Now that their hope of breaking out rested entirely on Zhou Yi, they naturally couldn't afford to offend him.

Besides, Zhou Yi wasn't a fool—he wouldn't say something completely without basis.

If he said he could handle half the Flame Demon legion, he naturally wouldn't be shooting in the dark.

Moreover...

Now that they had already graduated from the academy, they could no longer obtain the academy's resources as they had while enrolled.

Everything had to be fought for on their own.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have arranged to enter the Gale Wind Mountain Range together again after graduation.

If they really could kill all the Flame Demons as Zhou Yi had planned—

Every single one of them would level up at least once!!

"Since everyone has already made a decision, then our Blood Blade Squad will join as well."

Blood Blade Squad's captain Wang Heng, that burly man in his thirties, said with a bitter smile.

He was actually not at all willing to go along with the proposal to annihilate all the Flame Demons.

Or rather, no one in his squad was willing to do so.

After all, they were all in their thirties or forties, each with a family of their own.

Coming to the Gale Wind Mountain Range to hunt magical beasts was simply to make a living.

Being able to preserve their lives and break out of the Flame Demon legion would already be a blessing among misfortunes.

They didn't dare hope for experience or anything like that at all.

But at this point, he had no choice but to agree.

"Don't worry—if it proves unworkable, we'll just carry out the breakout according to the original plan."

Zhou Yi's next words finally put the Blood Blade Squad somewhat at ease.

Off to the side, Jiang Churan, who had taken in the entire decision-making process, glanced at Zhou Yi, a thoughtful expression appearing on her pretty face.

The whole process just now was, on the surface, a discussion of the upcoming battle plan.

But in reality, it had been Zhou Yi making all of them act according to his own idea.

His words seemed gentle, but were in fact extremely forceful!

Yet no one present seemed to notice...

No, that wasn't right.

Jiang Churan's heart gave a jolt.

If the Giant Eagle Squad had failed to notice, that would be understandable, but the seasoned Blood Blade Squad couldn't possibly have failed to notice.

She instinctively glanced at the Blood Blade Squad, only to find that although they were helpless, they had no intention of objecting.

They were still preparing for battle.

'No, it's not that they had no intention of objecting—they simply had no way to object!'

Jiang Churan quickly realized.

The core of the squad now lay with Zhou Yi, and the hope of surviving under the Flame Demon legion was also pinned on Zhou Yi.

Under these circumstances, they had no way to refuse Zhou Yi's request at all.

Understanding this point, Jiang Churan was surprised in her heart, and also gained a new understanding of Zhou Yi.

This young man, who was only eighteen years old, seemed young, but in actual practice was extremely seasoned!

"Let's go, we'll head over first to rendezvous with the senior sisters and the others."

Leading the two squads, Zhou Yi and his group quickly headed toward Su Qinglian's side to rendezvous.

The distance between the two sides was actually not far; in less than thirty seconds, they had regrouped together.

And at this time, the members of the Qingyuan Squad had already killed all those initial dozen-plus Flame Demons.

"Zhou Yi, your buff skill amplification effect is way too strong!"

"And the amplification duration is also very long — it's already lasted five or six minutes and still hasn't faded!"

"......"

It could be seen that, under the blessing of Holy Light, the members of the Qingyuan Squad fought with relative ease and didn't suffer any injuries.

The moment Zhou Yi came over, he greeted them warmly.

After regrouping, Zhou Yi first introduced Jiang Churan and the two squads to the members of the Qingyuan Squad.

Then he gave Su Qinglian a rough description of his own idea.

"You want to wipe out all these Flame Demons?"

Su Qinglian's elegant brows lifted.

While her right hand's longsword twirled out a perfect sword flourish, it also shook off all the demon bloodstains and residue clinging to it.

"What do you all think?"

She looked back at Zhang Yi and the others.

"Our lives were all saved by Zhou Yi, of course we listen to him."

"I've long wanted to deal with them properly — perfect timing!"

"I certainly have no objections."

"We'll all listen to Zhou Yi!"

"......"

After witnessing Zhou Yi's powerful strength and the freakish amplification he brought, the members of the Qingyuan Squad had almost all become his little fangirls.

Without the slightest hesitation, they all agreed.

In their gazes toward Zhou Yi, there was also an incomparable sense of worship.

"Well, they all listen to you — now you look more like the squad captain than I do."

Su Qinglian spread her hands and teased.

"Heh, since that's the case, then everyone get ready to start the battle."

Zhou Yi gripped the Xuanlight Battle Hammer in his hand.

First, he cast Slow Healing on Su Qinglian's group, who had just finished fighting, to restore their condition.
