Chapter 78 Meeting on the Northern Defense Line

Huaming District, North.

This is the direction farthest from the entrance to the Demonic Prison which is about to open.

According to the detection of Longyao City's detection department, the entrance to the Demonic Prison will be opened in the southeast direction of Huaming District. The closest to the entrance are the east and south of Huaming District, followed by the west, and the north is the farthest.

In addition, the border of Longyao City is close to the north. Even if a phantom demon breaks through the defense line here, the final route is to leave Longyao City and enter the dangerous area in the wild. The threat to the urban area of ​​Longyao City is the smallest. Therefore, the defense line arranged in Huaming District is relatively biased to the north, and the key defense lines are basically placed in the east and south.

If Huaming District was not the area closest to the border of Longyao City, and there were several areas and even several avenues leading to the urban areas in other directions after leaving Huaming District from the north, posing a threat to the citizens there, there would not even be a defense line deployed here.

Even if a defense line is set up, the defense line here is the safest among all the defense lines. It is the farthest from the entrance and has the least population. The number of phantom demons that will be attracted to this direction by the "blood food" will be much smaller than those in other directions.

The defense line chosen by Su Ming and his six companions was in this direction.

After completing the mission registration, the group of six took an off-road vehicle and sped all the way, successfully arriving at the destination before three o'clock in the afternoon.

A camp has already been built here. A large open space has been cleared in front of the camp, with only some buildings left as shelters. It looks like a desolate town.

When Su Ming and others arrived here, a military guide immediately led them into the camp.

"This is where you will be staying while you're stationed here. The conditions are limited, so please forgive me."

The guide in military uniform pointed to an old building and said this.

Su Ming and the others looked at the building and felt somewhat disappointed.

There was no way. In the college community, they lived in a suite that was as luxurious as a presidential suite and had excellent living conditions. It would be strange if there was no gap if they suddenly moved to an old house like this one.

However, Su Ming and others did not complain, nor did they feel wronged.

After all, this is already a battlefield. If you want to continue enjoying yourself here, how pampered do you have to be?

Even the three female students did not express any opinions on this. They just followed behind Su Ming and the other two, being honest, well-behaved and obedient.

Su Ming and the other two just glanced at the house and then stopped paying attention to it.

They care more about other things than this.

"Comrade," Su Ming asked first, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Please speak." The guide's attitude was quite sincere, without any impatience.

"I want to ask, how should we carry out this garrison?" Su Ming asked, "Should we just wait here until the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison is opened and wait for the phantom demons to invade here?"

Everyone immediately focused their attention on the leader.

The guide answered this question very straightforwardly.

"Because everyone has not arrived yet, you don't need to do anything for now. Just put your luggage away and take a rest to gather your strength for the battle ahead." The leader said, "About an hour before the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison opens, the commander will gather all the professionals and give you a detailed explanation."

It was still several hours before evening twilight.

Su Ming and others are not the only ones who have been assigned the task of garrisoning this line of defense.

It would be better to say that Su Ming and others are just extras here.

It goes without saying that the people who can truly be relied upon to hold this line of defense will not be the few students who are still studying in the academy.

Even though this place is far from the front line and the location is safe, considering that if the defense line is breached, thousands of people will be used as blood food and become food for the phantom demons, powerful professionals will be stationed here in the direction of the base city.

The trainees are only reinforcements, not the main force guarding the defense line.

Therefore, in addition to ordinary student teams like Su Ming, there are also professional-level teams stationed here.

Even if no one accepts the garrison mission here, the base city will arrange a team of professionals to come here and make them the main force in defending against the phantom demons.

Now, the professionals who are about to come to guard this line of defense have obviously not arrived yet.

In this case, we naturally have to wait until everyone is present before we can start working.

"Will there be many people coming here?" Ye Bai asked, "I remember that the garrison personnel at each line of defense are fixed, right?"

If this is not the case, some defense lines will inevitably be understaffed, while some defense lines will be overstaffed, resulting in a waste of combat power.

So, at first glance, it seems that Su Ming and others can choose the defense line to garrison at will, but in fact, the number of teams that can receive the garrison mission of this defense line is limited.

However, Su Ming and others did not know how many teams would come given the importance of this line of defense, and how many of them would be from the academy and how many would be professionals.

Ye Bai asked this question in order to estimate the combat power this line of defense would have.

Unfortunately, the leader seems unable to answer this question.

"Only the commander knows the details of the personnel arrangements. We haven't received any notification yet." The leader shook his head and said, "We don't know exactly how many people will come. We only know that a team of senior professionals will be arranged to come here as the highest combat force to guard this line of defense."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Ming and others all opened their eyes wide.

"A senior professional?"

Lei Hao's eyes began to light up.

"Will there be any senior professionals here to guard it?"

An Zijin, Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei were also shocked.

Even Su Ming looked at him.

Obviously, they had not expected that the base city would arrange senior professionals to come and guard this line of defense.

But after thinking about it carefully, Su Ming didn't find it strange anymore.

"After all, there are tens of thousands of lives behind this. Even if the importance of the defense line is low, how low can it be?"

If these tens of thousands of lives fall into the mouth of a phantom demon, they can almost cultivate a superior phantom demon.

A high-level phantom demon, even if it is a dangerous species, can definitely bring disaster to a region.

Under such circumstances, whether for the sake of the citizens or to prevent future threats, the base city must pay a certain degree of attention.

The guide also said so.

"No matter which line of defense it is, the base city will arrange at least one senior professional to guard it." The leader said: "Although our defense line here cannot be compared with the front line or even the important defense line in front, there will still be senior professionals guarding it."

The help that a senior professional can bring is enormous.

Apart from anything else, upon hearing that there would be senior professionals stationed here, everyone including Su Ming felt a little more at ease.

This is the prestige of a senior professional, an existence that lower-level professionals can hardly rival.

Even if there is only one senior professional coming here, it is enough to make people feel at ease.

"Can I ask who that senior professional is?"

Lei Hao couldn't help but ask this question.

The leader shook his head.

"I don't know. I heard that he seems to be from a big family."

The words of the leader actually contain a certain amount of information.

"Someone from a big family?" Ye Bai said thoughtfully, "Then he must be a hunter, right?"

"After all, big families are built on bloodlines." Lei Hao also said, "Warlocks generally don't have families, unless they marry into a family or are recruited as guests, guests, consultants, etc."

"The one coming is a senior hunter, right?" Jiang Wanyu asked curiously, "What star rank is that hunter? Four stars? Or five stars?"

"It's unlikely to be five-star." Yao Beibei whispered, "There are not many five-star professionals in Longyao City. They will probably be assigned to the front line to fight."

"Yeah." An Zijin nodded repeatedly and agreed: "The high-level professionals who will be assigned to guard the other lines of defense will probably be four-stars, and most likely hunters."

Su Ming also nodded in agreement with this statement.

There is no way. The number of warlocks is relatively small, and spiritual magic can restrain phantoms and cause the most effective damage to phantoms. They are the most scarce talents no matter where they are.

Even if it is only a four-star warlock, the opponent only needs to stay behind and prepare powerful spiritual magic. Then, once the spiritual magic is released, no matter how powerful the phantom demon is, it will be seriously injured if it is hit.

Especially the advanced spiritual techniques, which can change the world and have the deterrent power of a nuclear bomb in a war.

If this advanced spiritual technique was a large-scale attack technique of the wide-area annihilation type, then countless phantom demons would be killed in an instant.

In view of this, warlocks who can become advanced professionals, even if they are four stars, will be given the greatest attention.

In a war like this, a four-star sorcerer who can use large-scale attack spells can play a greater role than the highest-level six-star hunter in Longyao City.

Such a group of powerful weapons with nuclear-level attack power are not put on the front line to harvest wheat, but instead are left at the back to dry. This is absolutely a waste of resources.

Everyone clearly realized this point, and therefore concluded that the upcoming high-level professional would not be a warlock, but a four-star hunter.

Of course, Shuming and others who focused their attention on the upcoming four-star hunter did not know that there was also a group of acquaintances coming here.

"ah"

Su Ming, who was thinking about something, heard a familiar voice the next second.

"you"

Su Ming turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound, then he was stunned.

Not only Su Ming, but everyone else was stunned.

I saw a small team slowly approaching from another direction.

Among them, there is a graceful, beautiful and cold figure.

Seeing that figure, Su Ming couldn't help but recall the scene that night when the other party risked his life to save him.

Yes.

The person who came was Xu Qianqian.

I have a fever. 　　Because of some things about my ancestors, I went up the mountain the day before yesterday, and it seemed that I was blown by the mountain wind. When I woke up yesterday, I had a glorious fever. 　　I wanted to take a nap yesterday and update you all when I woke up, but I slept until dawn. Not to mention updating, I almost forgot my last name.

I took my temperature today and it's still 37.6 degrees (it was 38.4 degrees yesterday).

So there is no way. My typing efficiency has dropped sharply, and my wife has ordered me to go back and lie down to rest after finishing this chapter, so I probably won't be able to update at night.

I can only give you a thorough update tomorrow (hopefully I’ll be well again).

I hope my friends can understand and support me as always. o(╥﹏╥)o 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
