Chapter 117: Overdoing it?
North, the fourth line of defense.
After a full day and night of garrisoning, the garrison mission of this line of defense finally came to an end.
"Please all professionals within the defense line go to the central venue for a meeting."
"Please all professionals within the defense line go to the central venue for a meeting."
"Please all professionals within the defense line go to the central venue for a meeting."
In the camp, the sound of broadcast announcements continued, forcing all professionals on this line of defense, whether they were fighting on the front line or resting under the shift system, to set off immediately and go to the meeting place where they gathered yesterday to attend the meeting again.
Commander Duan arrived early, his expression still serious, and he did not relax at all because of the successful sealing of the Spirit Demon Prison.
Gao Xuyi stood beside Commander Duan, with his arms folded, still looking indifferent.
Other professionals and student teams also rushed over.
Xu Yanyan and the Xu family hunters occupied a corner of the venue.
Xu Qianqian mingled in Levi's team with an expressionless face.
Li Wei and the others were different from Xu Qianqian. They looked quite embarrassed. No matter who they were, they all had an indescribable feeling of fatigue.
no way.
Unlike Xu Qianqian who has always focused her attention on the Xu family, Li Wei and others have been fighting non-stop since they arrived at this line of defense, and are now physically and mentally exhausted.
But this is just what you deserve.
As the strongest team in the Demon Hunting Academy, both Levi and the other top students in the team have a deep-seated pride.
Unlike the other student teams, they were not focused on missions and garrisons, but wanted to take advantage of the war to hunt more phantom demons and earn more contribution points in order to build a reputation and exchange for precious treasures. In order to improve their strength, they also wanted to get higher evaluations in order to get good grades when they graduated.
For this reason, except for Xu Qianqian who was usually not sociable, the rest of Levi's team worked extremely hard during this day and night. They hardly had any rest and were always fighting on the front lines to kill as many phantom demons as possible.
Unfortunately, although they were considered the best in the academy, there was some gap between them and the professionals who had already debuted, so that the perfect hunting plan they had envisioned was not executed smoothly, making them quite embarrassed.
In a nutshell, they underestimated the enemy, overestimated themselves, underestimated the war, overestimated their abilities, and ultimately, under the constant attacks of the army of phantom demons, they did not achieve fruitful results.
If they hadn't had the support of senior professionals on the front line, they might have been seriously injured or even killed on the spot under the merciless attacks of the ferocious phantom demons.
After all, they are just students.
In this war where even senior professionals have to fight desperately, even the defense line with less pressure in the rear is still very challenging for a student.
If they had been like the other students, sticking to their posts and doing the work within their capabilities honestly, either charging into battle and cooperating with the other hunter seniors, or staying in the rear as emotionless tools in the warlock group, they wouldn't have been in such a mess.
However, they thought they were excellent and always wanted to obtain better results. In order to defeat more phantom demons, they unknowingly separated from the main force and went too deep into the enemy camp, which naturally resulted in an embarrassing end.
Now, they looked a little bleak, and their self-confidence was also a little frustrated. How could they still be as high-spirited as they were on the first day? Especially Li Wei, he didn't even dare to look in Xu Qianqian's direction.
Thinking back to the beginning, he wanted to take this opportunity to show himself, suppress Su Ming, and tell Xu Qianqian who was the truly outstanding one. Li Wei felt ashamed.
He can barely take care of himself now, how can he have the energy to engage in intrigue?
Even the two followers around Li Wei never mentioned Su Ming again after experiencing this disaster.
It’s not that they don’t want to think about it, but they don’t have the energy to do so.
I can only say that this experience really dealt them a heavy blow.
Under such circumstances, Su Ming's affairs had long been forgotten by them.
Naturally, Su Ming and his group also arrived.
Except for Jiang Wanyu who was still recuperating, the remaining five members of the team came to the venue one after another.
The group's spirits were pretty good.
Lei Hao and Ye Bai both recovered after resting for a while.
An Zijin and Yao Beibei were also in high spirits and had obviously gotten enough rest.
Needless to say, Su Ming was in better condition than ever before. His mutated right hand did not show any abnormality under the fingerless gloves and bandages. When his long sleeves were let down, no one could see the secret of this right hand. Even if one looked carefully, one could only barely see fine cracks on Su Ming's fingers, but they were not obvious at all.
Naturally, no one could notice that Su Ming was no longer the same as before.
Seeing Su Ming and his group looking energetic and normal, several people on Le Wei's side couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to see anyone.
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Su Ming and his group, they did look much more embarrassed.
Therefore, including Levi, everyone felt guilty at this moment. They didn't dare to meet Su Ming's eyes. They even prayed that Su Ming would not look in their direction and laugh at them.
However, Su Ming didn't even have Li Wei and the others in his eyes.
He didn't know what Levi was planning, nor did he know whether his followers had thought of teaching him a lesson.
For Su Ming, what he should really pay attention to is the situation at the Xu family, his own changes and gains, and even the direction of the war itself rather than paying attention to Levi and others.
So, although he felt embarrassed, Su Ming really didn't take Li Wei and the others too seriously. At most, he was just thinking something like "What a youthful person."
It can only be said that compared with what Su Ming really cares about, Levi's presence is indeed not strong and is too insignificant.
Especially after Su Ming obtained the blood of the nightmare species, became a dual-professional, awakened the seeing pattern, and obtained powers such as [Silver Arm] and [Demon Binding], the existence of Levi's level is really nothing.
So, Su Ming didn't look at Li Wei, nor did he look at Xu Qianqian and Xu Yanyan. He chatted with his teammates quite leisurely.
"What are you going to say this time?"
"It should be the follow-up plan for the war, right?"
Lei Hao and Ye Bai were both paying attention to Commander Duan, waiting for him to speak.
"So, is the war really going to end?"
"Very good"
An Zijin's face relaxed, and even Yao Beibei patted his majestic chest, looking relieved.
"Don't be happy too soon."
Su Ming still felt that things were far from over.
Sure enough, after most people had gathered, Commander Duan began to speak.

"We summoned you all here this time for the subsequent battles."
Commander Duan was as serious and earnest as he was yesterday when the war just started.
"As you all know, the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison has been successfully sealed. No more phantom demons will appear in the future. We no longer need to resist endless phantom demons. It is time to end this war."
"Next, what we have to do is very simple, which is to launch a crusade against the phantom demons that have appeared in the world but have not yet been eliminated."
"As long as we destroy all the phantom demons in the current Huaming District, this war will be over."
As he said this, Commander Duan pointed to the big screen.
Above it, the large map of Huaming District unfolds again.
"According to the original plan, after the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison is successfully sealed, all defense lines will gradually advance forward, starting from the rear defense line, destroying the phantom demons while merging with the defense lines in the front, constantly integrating the combat power of each defense line, outflanking the phantom demons in the Huaming District, gradually reducing their range of activities, and pushing them to the front line in the center."
"Then, gather all the professionals and troops in Longyao City. We will wipe out all the remaining phantom demons at once and completely liberate Huaming District."
"When that happens, the war will be declared over."
The simple and clear battle plan allowed everyone present to quickly understand it.
In other words, the next step is no longer passive defense, but active attack.
"Now, we need to wait for the defense line in the rear to advance to us, merge with us, and then advance together to the third defense line in front."
Commander Duan pointed to the area between the third and fourth lines of defense.
"During this period, we must eliminate as many phantom demons as possible in this area to reduce the number of enemies, so as not to delay the advancement of the front line and prevent the front line, which is under the greatest pressure, from receiving effective support."
Commander Duan explained and told everyone that he would divide each area into different categories, and then assign the expedition tasks in different areas to different teams based on factors such as the difficulty of the expedition, the number of enemies detected, and the intensity of their reactions.
Immediately afterwards, the professionals from each team received a text message on their mobile phones, telling them where the area they were responsible for was.
Su Ming and his group also received the text message.
"Area B-5?"
Su Ming murmured, and looked up with everyone else, looking at the map on the big screen.
The map there has been expanded to become a distribution map of the area between the third and fourth lines of defense.
The so-called B-5 area is located closer to the center.
There is only one most dangerous central area, marked as Area A-1.
Surrounding the A-1 area are five B areas.
In other words. "We are actually placed in the important area?"
Lei Hao was a little stunned.
"How could that be?"
An Zijin and Yao Beibei also looked at each other in surprise.
"With our strength, we shouldn't be sent to an area like that."
Ye Bai was also full of confusion.
Only Su Ming understood after being stunned for a moment.
"Fuck, that's overdoing it."
That's how it is.
