Chapter 415 The Ninth-Tier Squad is Assembled
Only now, after sparring with Yan Luo, did Li Lingzhou realize that Yan Luo was truly strong. Even though he had tried his best to attack, Yan Luo was walking around leisurely and effortlessly.
The black, chaotic longsword in Yanluo's hand seemed less like a weapon and more like a violin, producing beautiful and moving sounds as he switched between offense and defense.
Li Lingzhou lowered her emerald green longsword, sat down on the ground and let out a long sigh. She said frankly, "I lost. After today's sparring with Captain Yan, I realized that I was too arrogant before. Captain Yan truly deserves to be the number one person in Longxia today."
Yan Luo smiled and gave a sword salute.
"You flatter me. I thoroughly enjoyed sparring with Captain Li. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I am no match for Captain Li. Captain Li's swordsmanship is the strongest I have ever seen besides my master."
Li Lingzhou forced a smile. Backed by the ancient martial arts family of the Northern Frontier, if Yan Luo had the same resources as her, she would have no outstanding qualities.
Li Lingzhou quickly accepted this fact. Looking at Yan Luo's outstretched hand, she took it. Yan Luo pulled her up and channeled his chaotic energy into her to help her recover. The young man, who was two years younger than her, had a gentle smile on his face, and Li Lingzhou felt her heart suddenly beat faster.
Qin Jinwen came downstairs and happily hugged Li Lingzhou and Yanluo.
"You two are absolutely amazing!"
Upstairs, everyone gathered in the training room, talking amongst themselves around the three captains, and everyone felt more confident.
With the presence of the Inkstone, the Throne, and the Captains, the Shiki organization, with its terrifying foundation, seems less frightening.
Everyone was shocked when they learned about the distribution of the Corpse Demon Organization's combat power. It was almost impossible to defeat them unscathed. But even if they had to suffer casualties, they had to fight the Corpse Demons, otherwise the entire city of Yangcheng and even the whole country would turn into Corpse Demons.
That would be an outcome that the demon hunters, who have been fighting ghouls for decades, absolutely do not want to see.
In the following days, several Tier 9 squads arrived one after another. The first squad, Throne, was the last to arrive, so I took this opportunity to introduce the ten Tier 9 squads.
The first squad stationed in Longxia's capital city—[The Throne];
The second squad stationed in Sunlight City, Tibet—[Demon Suppressor];
The third squad stationed in Dihua, Western Regions – [The Corpse Shepherd];
The fourth squad stationed in Kunming, Yunnan Province – [Yulong];
The fifth squad stationed in Chengdu, Sichuan – [Tianfu];
The Sixth Squad stationed in Guihua, in the northern frontier – [Blizzard];
The Eighth Squad stationed in Bingcheng, Heilongjiang Province – [Black Dragon];
The Ninth Squad stationed in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province – [Underworld]:
The tenth squad stationed in the capital of Henan Province—[Emperor Wu];
The eleventh squad stationed in Shanghai, the second most important city in Longxia, is called [Spirit God].
February 23, Sunday.
More than a week has passed since Nangong began preparing the Corpse Demon Transformation Array in Yangcheng. The first squad arrived in Yangcheng on Sunday morning and immediately convened a meeting of ninth-tier captains.
Yan Luo sat to Wang Yi's left, while to Wang Yi's right was the captain of the second squad, "Demon Suppression." Yan Luo was even more senior than Wang Yi, two years older than him, with a burly build and a serious expression.
Wang Yi wore a plain black eye patch over his right eye. He was in a meeting and wanted to appear serious. His left eye was sharp as he planned the attack on the abandoned temple for the coming week.
It is scheduled for next Wednesday that ten Tier 9 teams, together with ghost hunters from Guangdong Province, will launch a joint attack on the wild mountain where the abandoned ancient temple is located.
The Longxia Research Institute rushed to produce a batch of virtual weapons. This batch of weapons solved the problem of ammunition capacity. During the time Yanluo was in the capital, the virtual sniper rifle that Zheng Guoan used had a two-round magazine, which greatly tested the user's accuracy.
Now a magazine contains six phasic bullets, with the same power. If a ghoul below level eight is hit in a vital spot, it will surely die.
The addition of these ethereal weapons has greatly boosted the morale of the Ghost Hunters. With the addition of ranged weapons, the damage rate will be significantly reduced.
In addition to the addition of the ethereal sniper rifle, Zheng Guoan also created an ethereal rifle based on the research data of Tu Yiyan and his wife. The magazine capacity is the same as that of a normal rifle, but unfortunately the power is greatly reduced, and it can only kill corpses below the sixth level.
But that's enough. Who would bother with hand-to-hand combat with ghouls if they could use a gun? I can slash a ghoul and it just dusts itself off and recovers, but if a ghoul scratches me, it takes weeks to recover.
The ethereal weapons provided by Longxia Research Institute pleased the ninth-tier captains, who were most worried about the safety of the lower-tier ghost hunters.
After making his deployment, Wang Yi immediately took off his black eye mask and put on the anime-themed eye mask that his wife had made for him. He then grinned and put his arms around the captain of the second squad, Yan Luo, who was standing next to him.
"I'm starving! I've already digested everything I ate this morning. What are you all having for lunch? Is the food at the cafeteria in Guangzhou any good? Let's skip the cafeteria and eat out!"
As soon as the meeting ended, Wang Yi returned to his usual self, laughing and joking, showing no trace of his former captaincy.
Yan Luo smiled and said, "Captains, please do me the honor of having lunch together. I've made all the arrangements."
Wang Yi put his arm around Yan Luo's shoulder and patted her head with a smile.
"You've got it all planned out, kid. I'm going to send Fatty to eat you out of house and home!"
Yanluo smiled and hugged Wang Yi.
"Even if Fatty had ten stomachs, he couldn't eat me out of house and home."
Everyone likes Yanluo, the young ninth-level captain. He is humble and polite. Most other eighteen-year-old ninth-level players would be incredibly arrogant by now, but Yanluo is so low-key.
The little beast that once followed the lone beast has grown into a ninth-tier ghost hunter who guards the area, which makes the captains present feel gratified.
At noon, ten teams of level nine gathered at Xu Family Restaurant, a total of seventy people, laughing and joking like a family.
Wang Yi raised his glass, standing on the chair, and declared, "Everyone, let's fight for the bright future of Longxia! Cheers!!!"
"cheers!!!!!"
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, and their sense of honor reached its peak at that moment.
This place is where the elite ghost hunters of the entire Dragonxia have gathered, all united by a common mission: to fight for Dragonxia.
At Yanluo's table were the captains of the ninth rank and a few people from the throne. Apart from Li Lingzhou, everyone, including the tomboy Qin Jinwen, started drinking heavily, and no one used their internal energy to neutralize the alcohol.
Today, we've all gathered together for a rare occasion, so we must drink until we drop.
Qin Jinwen was having a great time drinking. She said to everyone, "After this mission is over, we all have to have another good drink. Today, I'll drink you all under the table and show you the power of the [Martial Emperor]!!"
Everyone was laughing happily, and Yan Luo felt a surge of indescribable warmth in his heart. He cherished this feeling.
Yan Luo and Qin Jinwen were eventually carried home by Chi Miaomiao and Zhu Qinlan, with Li Lingzhou following behind them.
Since his sparring session with Yan Luo on Tuesday when he came to Guangzhou, Li Lingzhou has been staying at Yan Luo's house.
