Chapter 280

"This team is mainly for dealing with demonic creatures above the Nightmare level. Life and death are unpredictable, so you must consider it carefully," Lin Yu said seriously.

"I don't mind the danger, but I’m not from the Iron Dimension. I don't know the fighting style here, and I’m afraid I might drag them down," Xiu said with concern.

"Don't worry about that. I will teach you the fighting methods of the Iron Dimension. Besides, you have already fought the Demon Clan and understand their combat patterns."

"You just need to pay attention to the demonized power users of this dimension; I will give you special training for the rest, so don't be afraid."

Hearing Lin Yu say that, Huang Linxuan couldn't refuse anymore and agreed.

"To think that one day I would become a Commander in another dimension," Lin Yu pondered to himself.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and asked Lin Yu in confusion: "Brother Yu, did you say all dimensions?"

"That’s right! This is a demon-slaying squad that reports directly to the masters of the twelve dimensions. Once Xia Tian is fully recovered, we will launch a counterattack to save the other dimensions."

Lin Yu turned to Wang Wang Dadong and said: "Wang Dadong, I’ll have to trouble you to help Xia Tian now. The most important thing is Xia Tian’s body; he is our only hope in the Iron Dimension!"

Wang Wang Dadong didn't impulsively want to fight this time; instead, he nodded solemnly to Lin Yu: "Brother Yu! I will definitely be able to heal Xia Tian."

"Ah Xiang, Lei Ting, Xia Mei, you stay at the Xia house and protect Grandfather and Xia Tian!"

[366] The Iron Defense Guard’s training methods shock Wang Wang Dadong.

Seeing that everyone did not oppose his arrangements and was willing to risk their lives to protect the Iron Dimension, a trace of a smile finally appeared on his tense face. The heavy burden on his shoulders seemed to lighten, and he could finally catch his breath.

"It’s fortunate to have these friends who share life and death, willing to accompany me in protecting other dimensions and fighting together. Without them, I might not have lasted until now," Lin Yu thought to himself.

Ah Xiang and the others looked at the exhausted Lin Yu with heartache. She felt that after the great battle with the demons, Lin Yu’s body had suffered severe depletion.

After the great battle, he still had to deal with numerous politicians, formulate plans, and arrange combat matters.

Thinking of these things, their hearts felt waves of bitterness and pity.

The disappearance of the Alliance Master meant that the burden of the Iron Dimension had almost entirely fallen on his shoulders, while they could only stand by helplessly.

"Everyone, go get some rest. Tomorrow morning, everyone to your posts and do your jobs," Lin Yu ordered steadily.

Hearing this, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms to conserve energy for fighting the hateful demonic creatures and the unknown tomorrow.

The next day at dawn, the first light dispelled the darkness.

Lin Yu led Xiu and the Xia family group, through a series of clever methods, to arrive quietly at a hidden location.

This was a large-scale military fortress. As soon as they stepped inside, everyone felt the gazes of countless experts locking onto them like sharp arrows.

He was confident he could defeat most of them, perhaps even causing casualties.

But if he were truly a demonic creature, he wasn't entirely sure he could escape unscathed.

Because this fortress was like a steel beast; once violated, it would ruthlessly display its power to devour everything.

It turned out this was the cradle of the Iron Defense Guard. With so many experts waiting in battle readiness on the perimeter, one could imagine the scene in the central area without even thinking.

After passing through layers of meticulous checks, the group finally reached the core area of the military base.

Before them, dozens of warriors with astonishing combat power were undergoing brutal training, among whom were many female figures.

Wang Wang Dadong and the others noticed that everything in their hands was equipped with real bullets.

In an exercise testing speed and reaction, the wooden stakes were covered with sharp barbs. Although they wouldn't be severely injured, the pain of skin being sliced was chilling just to imagine.

Lin Yu couldn't help but have childhood shadows appear in his mind, like a palace maid in a period drama. Instantly, cold sweat broke out on his back, and an inexplicable chill surged in his heart.

"Is this what the Iron Defense Guard does every day? No wonder each team has so few people!" Wang Wang Dadong sighed inwardly, feeling pity for them for a moment.

Witnessing this method, he asked Lin Yu in confusion.

"Brother Yu, are there casualties with this method of the Iron Defense Guard?"

"There are indeed. Their daily practice allows for a certain degree of damage; that is, sacrifices during practice are understandable within specific values."

"After all, the Iron Defense Guard undertakes the battles most likely to cost lives; daily practice must be close to actual combat."

"If you don't play for real, how can you trust them to step up at the critical moment of life and death? Without the courage to face death, it is impossible to become a member of the Iron Defense Guard," Lin Yu said from the side.

Hearing this, Wang Wang Dadong was shocked and clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Is this what Brother Yu used to do? It’s truly terrifying!" Wang Wang Dadong exclaimed.

Suddenly, after Lin Yu arrived at the center, he shouted: "All units, assemble!"

In an instant, the people who were training separately quickly lined up; only five seconds had passed, and they were all standing on the ground.

Neat, uniform, and strictly disciplined.

"A strictly disciplined team! Truly impressive!" Wang Wang Dadong praised.

However, for the Xia family members watching, all of this was ordinary. They had no reaction; by comparison, Wang Wang Dadong looked particularly surprised, like a country bumpkin.

After all, he was just a well-behaved child protected by his parents.

The biggest experience was meeting Lin Yu; he had never been exposed to other military matters. Plus, they had only fought demonic creatures before and hadn't used large-scale military operations.

In this case, his reaction was reasonable.

Under Wang Wang Dadong’s observation, even the weakest among this group was a thousand points higher than himself.

"My God! Is this the Iron Dimension? It actually hides so many powerful power users!"

"In the Gold Dimension, those senior predecessors who are stronger than me, like Black Dragon, my father, and my mother, are all decades old, yet their combat power is still not as high as the younger generation of the Iron Dimension."

"There must be many senior predecessors hiding in the White Path families of the Iron Dimension who haven't appeared yet," Wang Wang Dadong pondered to himself.

"So, the Iron Dimension is not weak, and the White Path power users are not easy to bully. Perhaps it’s just that the combat power of other dimensions is too low, and they have already been defeated by the Demon Clan."

But the question still hovered in his mind: why, with such powerful strength, were they still being suppressed by the Demon Clan? Why not unite all forces to defeat the demonic creatures of the Iron Dimension and then go to help other spaces?

Ultimately, uniting all White Path power users to launch a counterattack, even if they couldn't completely defeat the Demon Realm, would at least allow them to hold their own, and it wouldn't be like this, letting other dimensions continue to suffer from the ravages of the Demon Realm.

[367] Forming the Demon-Slaying Squad, team members have 30,000 combat power!

However, this was not the time to ask questions. He buried this confusion deep in his heart, waiting for the right moment to ask Lin Yu.

With his thoughts pulled back, Xiu’s admonition reached his ears.

"I think you already understand my purpose this time, so I don't need to say anything. We will find the ten strongest and most outstanding warriors among you to fill the vacancies in the Iron Defense Guard. The selection starts now!"

The current Lin Yu radiated the aura of a leader, making people believe in him involuntarily.

Wang Wang Dadong had never seen this side of Lin Yu. Usually, Lin Yu’s impression on him was gentle, approachable, confident, and responsible, but the Lin Yu before him made him look at him with new eyes; it turned out Lin Yu also had such a spirited side.

"Is this really the Brother Yu I know? Did I recognize the wrong Brother Yu?" he wondered in astonishment.

After a great battle, the ten people with the most outstanding indicators and combat power were finally selected from these dozens.

After selecting the people, the grouping began!

These ten people displayed their power indices during the competition; the lowest was 30,000, and the highest was a full 40,000 points.

"The talent of this generation actually surpasses my own back then; they reached 40,000 points before the age of thirty, while Lin Yu is twenty-six and his combat power has reached 110,000."

"No," he suddenly realized that increasing combat power was by no means easy. He relied on the system to quickly reach over 100,000 combat power.

It seemed that the Iron Dimension’s method of practicing martial arts was different from the Gold Dimension’s; over there, exceeding 5,000 was a difficult hurdle.

But in the Iron Dimension, 1,000 points was like a threshold; if you crossed it, you could progress, but if you didn't, you might get stuck at this hurdle for several years, so you couldn't casually say that this person’s talent was stronger than Lin Yu’s.

Everyone had already decided at the Xia house that the newly formed guard army would deal with particularly powerful characters, not only to protect the Iron Dimension but also to help other dimensions, so the strongest few would be under Lin Yu’s command, joining his "Demon-Slaying Squad."

That’s right, Lin Yu’s goal was to completely address the problem of the Demon Realm, which is why he named this squad the Demon-Slayers.

The first to join the "Demon-Slaying Squad" was from the Wula family, named Wula Yuntian, with a combat power of 36,000 points.

The second person was Wula Yuntian, with a combat power value of 38,000 points.

The most surprising thing was that the third person was actually a girl, and her combat power was not low; she was the third strongest among these dozens of people. Her name was Ouyang Lan, with a combat power of 35,000 points. It really makes one sigh that women can also hold up half the sky!

The fourth person was from the Huyan Jue Luo family, named Huyan Jue Luo Ai, with a combat power of 34,000 points. She didn't get in through connections; her own combat power was sufficient.

"I myself am more like someone who got in through connections, and I even became a Commander directly," Lin Yu thought to himself.

Ouyang Lan’s little face was flushed, as if she were holding back a laugh, while Huyan Jue Luo Ai was arrogant and cold, always wearing an icy face.

"Why are the people from Huyan Jue Luo all like this?" Lin Yu complained secretly.

Finally, everyone was decided, and then they walked to the training base to begin training.

They had to coordinate well within a few days to execute missions on the front lines as quickly as possible.

What needed to be done now was to expand the range where Iron Dimension power users could safely operate before Xia Tian fully recovered, and to establish an absolute zone as a base for counterattack.

The first thing the "Demon-Slaying Squad" had to do was to go deep behind enemy lines for assassinations and to clear out the demonic creatures within the Iron Dimension.

The first mission would involve life and death; if they passed this hurdle, they could become stronger, but if they didn't, they would go straight to "heaven."

Suddenly, Lin Yu called Xiu outside and said to the team members with a blank expression: "You guys practice slowly."

Then he followed Lin Yu closely. He had some things he wanted to know from Lin Yu; if these words were kept in his heart and not resolved, he would feel very uncomfortable, so he had to ask clearly.

The two arrived at a relatively quiet place, and Xiu asked Lin Yu.

"Brother Yu, seeing those people today, there are quite a few people in the Iron Dimension, and there must be more powerful characters in those families. Why not unite those forces to deal with it directly?"

"Why not gather forces before Xia Tian was injured? Xia Tian’s strength is not low either; although he might not win a great victory, he wouldn't be in such a passive position as he is now!"
