Divine Seal: I am a saintess of the human race, but also the heir to the Demon God.

Chapter 123 Special Mission
Young people can't keep secrets.

Moreover, the higher-ups at Exorcism Pass never intended to cover up the fact that the Grand Commander had led the Radiant Knights and the Dark Assassins out of the city.

Once everyone knew that the demons stationed outside the Demon Exorcism Pass had suffered heavy casualties, the three Demon Gods sheepishly used the Demon God Pillar to teleport back to the plains and send in new cannon fodder.

Only then could the higher-ups of the Exorcist Bureau issue new orders to the ten newly recruited demon-hunting teams.

Having drained the spiritual energy from the magic array, Bai Ling, who had awakened prematurely, walked to Han Yu's side and made a shushing gesture.

Immediately afterwards, she secretly used the new version of Soul Temple's Soul Secret Technique, which was designed for battlefield use and facilitated communication among the players.

Activating her spiritual power, invisible transparent threads slid from Bai Ling's fingertips, successfully connecting to her own team and Long Haochen's team.

After the voice platform was set up, the concerned voices of everyone echoed in her mind.

As was prepared, Bai Ling briefly recounted the events of the previous day, just as Sheng Yue had instructed.

at the same time.

On the stage, Sheng Yue and the others saw Bai Ling quietly blend into the group and stand there. He turned his head and winked at the guardian knights led by Gao Yingjie.

Upon receiving the order, Gao Yingjie promptly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Having received orders from above, he briefly discussed the events of the previous day, subtly influencing the audience with a psychological suggestion.

He exaggerated the Holy Spirit's impromptu decision to lead the professionals into the demon realm, thus indirectly affirming that Bai Ling deserved to be the first place winner in this year's Demon Hunter Team Individual Competition.

She made good use of the priest's temple's healing and group healing spells, greatly reducing the casualties among the exorcists.

Although Long Haochen and the others, who knew the truth, were somewhat confused, they patiently listened to Gao Yingjie's official explanation.

The official response defined yesterday's events as a counterattack by the Exorcist Sect, a brilliant counterattack led by the Holy Spirit Heart.

It must be said that Gao Yingjie has excellent speaking skills.

Even though he wasn't there in person to witness how everyone fought back and killed countless demons, the audience could still feel the epic scale of the battle.

In particular, Gao Yingjie used the story of the three demon gods escaping, and the assassin from the Assassin's Temple single-handedly charging forward, almost killing the Cicada Demon God Xi'er again with his weapon as the ending, which stirred up the passion etched into the bones of the young elites.

After laying the groundwork with pleasantries, the young guardian knight, having achieved his goal, made his exit, taking a few steps back.

As soon as Gao Yingjie stepped down, a new person immediately took his place.

This woman was none other than Cai'er's mother.

In front of everyone, she announced that the Demon Hunter Team's assessment would be adjusted, and each team would have to complete different tasks.

The difficulty and time taken for each task determine the overall ranking score in this trial.

This change was mainly caused by two factors. First, the ten newly recruited demon hunter groups performed exceptionally well in yesterday's battle on the city walls.

It should be noted that no newly formed demon-hunting teams had ever come to the Demon Exorcism Trial before; this time, they have set a precedent.

The people who pioneered this practice were naturally the deputy temple masters of the six great temples.

Long before the Demon Hunter Selection Competition ended, the various temple lords had already agreed to send them to the most arduous infantry battalion, which, in a sense, would have the highest mortality rate if something went wrong, to begin their training.

How could the higher-ups of the Exorcist Bureau, who were eager for newcomers to come and do the hard labor, possibly have any objections?

With a grin, they agreed to the proposal from the six temples, incorporating ten demon-hunting groups and secretly assigning them scores.

Led by members of the Magic Temple and the Soul Temple, veteran professionals were dispatched to the infantry camp to conduct a rigorous investigation of the elite members of the Demon Hunter Corps, questioning both ordinary soldiers and other professionals present. For example, they inquired whether the Demon Hunter Corps' mages were responsible for ranged attacks, disrupting the enemy, hiding behind the group, or staying too close to the city walls.

Did the priests vomit in public, or cower in the far distance with pale faces, only daring to treat the wounded who were transported there...?

The results are obvious.

Yesterday, when ten infantry battalions of the newly recruited Demon Hunter Corps were successively dispatched to defend the city, their combat effectiveness far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The damage to the infantry battalion was less than one-fifth of the usual amount, and the number of wounded was reduced by more than half.

The six people generated such a benefit that the thousands of skilled offensive magicians kept at the Exorcism Pass could only stand on the high platform and watch helplessly.

The overall strength of this new generation of demon hunters is indeed the strongest in nearly a hundred years!

Putting aside other examples, let's take Long Haochen's team as an example.

The assassin in the team is the saintess personally acknowledged by the Assassin Temple, and will have a status no lower than that of the temple master in the future.

Their elusive and deadly assassin skills terrified countless demons.

It can be said that the demons who dared to ambush Long Haochen from the side yesterday all met extremely tragic ends.

The Holy Maiden of the Soul Temple, Chen Ying'er, publicly summoned a seventh-tier magical beast to alleviate the burden on everyone, an act that was witnessed by all.

Not to mention the contributions made to the group by Lin Xin, the fire mage who always carried elixirs, and Wang Yuanyuan, the forthright female warrior.

The Exorcism Pass is unlike any other place.

Here, what everyone values ​​most is not individual strength, but how much each person contributes to their camp on the battlefield.

No matter how strong a person is or how many enemies they kill, if all their companions die in the end, they are still not an excellent professional.

This is why Long Xingyu is so despised.

His talent is undeniable, but his character is terrible, and he seems to have some mental issues as well.

As a result, even professionals who have risen to the top of the league and know the secrets are unwilling to associate with him.

Therefore, in order to prevent repeating the same mistakes and to increase everyone's cohesion in teamwork.

There's really no need to repeat the scene of having ten demon-hunting teams, totaling sixty elites selected from the individual competitions of the six great temples, stay in the infantry camp to accompany the soldiers in resisting the demons' cannon fodder, resulting in thousands of mages in the Demon Exorcism Pass being left helpless.

Moreover, a three-month assessment period is too long.

The Exorcist Guild believes that the newly formed Demon Hunter Team should do something else.

For example, before the main force of the demons arrives, implement a team-based combat plan to help reduce the burden on the Exorcism Pass.

Saint Moon, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Given your strength and excellent performance, the Exorcism Bureau has decided to assign you some special tasks starting now."

As he spoke, assassins behind him produced terrain maps and distributed them to the leader of the demon hunter team.

After everyone had looked at the map and received the same instructions, they decisively chose to return to their respective camps to rest and patiently wait for night to fall.

into the night.

Under the cover of darkness, the city gate of the Demon Exorcism Pass quietly opened a crack, and the group slipped away stealthily along the base of the city wall, taking advantage of the night.
