Chapter 124 Lamb to the Slaughter

Everyone changed into black night clothes, and the female professionals in the demon hunter group also tried their best to remove any glowing accessories to prevent the moonlight reflection from attracting attention.

Without needing to say more, with concealment provided, Bai Ling revealed the elemental scepter that she was comfortable using.

Under the power of levitation, all beings are equal.

As a gentle breeze swept past their feet, Chen Ying'er and the others suddenly felt a lightness under their feet.

The summoners and priests in both teams received the blessing of the wind, greatly increasing their speed and minimizing unnecessary energy consumption.

The eight teams behind saw that the two teams in front were moving more lightly, with blue wind trails under their feet, and the sudden realization in their eyes did not seem fake.

In the mage team ranked low, ninth, a fourth-tier water elemental mage scoffed, "Levitation is nothing, I can do that too."

"I can do it too."

"This low-level spell doesn't even look down on anyone."

After all, everyone was at least at the fourth level of cultivation, and their overall speed of movement was no less than that of a light cavalry squad.

Moreover, after the mages rushed to follow suit, the group managed to bypass the remaining demons who were waiting for reinforcements from the plains army in just over half an hour.

After an hour, they stopped at the edge of a hill three hundred miles behind the demon camp.

Further in, you'll reach the plains near the Demon Exorcism Pass, which is where the demons travel to.

The number of demon scouts there is frightening; every blade of grass, every flower, and every tree could be a demon spy.

Therefore, the scouts of Exorcism Pass specifically marked this location on the map as the best ambush spot, preventing them from venturing any further into the demons' lair.

Bai Ling found a spot overlooking the plain with some bushes, temporarily cultivated a patch of grass, and gestured for everyone to sit down.

Then, she unfolded the map and began to examine it carefully.

After leaving the exorcism pass, without anyone to give instructions, Long Haochen, who was used to working with his sister, was the first to look at the map.

Then, he pointed to a fairly flat dirt road below the hill and said in a low voice, "That's right, this road is the only way for the demon race's grain transport team."

Yang Wenzhao nodded and said, "There is still more than an hour before dawn. I think we should send a few people out to scout, while the rest of us rest and lie in ambush here."

Long Haochen said, "Sending people out is not as good as sending magical beasts out. Which team's summoner can summon flying magical beasts?"

Before anyone could reply, Chen Ying'er raised her hand, puffing out her cheeks, and said angrily, "Why are you asking them instead of me?"

Long Haochen raised his hands in surrender, admitting his mistake, "I was wrong. Can you summon a flying magical beast?"

Chen Ying'er snorted, and in a short while, dozens of butterflies that had escaped from the Gate of Life quietly rose into the air and disappeared in an instant.

To avoid disagreements among the group about how to plunder the supplies, which could affect trust.

Bai Ling explained directly that the top four teams would cooperate with the bottom four teams, changing the original six-person groups to twelve-person groups.

The other two groups are temporarily concealed within a designated area, ready to provide support and replace others at any time.
The offensive strategy employed tactics of flanking from all sides and ambushing from both flanks.

Long Haochen said, "I have no objection."

Yang Wenzhao raised his hand and said, "Me too." After the captains of the top three individual rankings reached an agreement, the captains of the other seven demon-hunting teams couldn't come up with any better ideas for the time being.

After a moment's thought, everyone nodded in agreement.

Thus, the five-pointed star operation plan, which took less than ten minutes, was officially launched, and the next step was to arrange some details.

Bai Ling asked Lin Xin and Han Yu to compile statistics on the average strength and preferred combat styles of each team.

The distance between teams of twelve demon hunters must not exceed one kilometer to prevent the demon supply convoys from carrying high-level magical beasts.

Hidden in the shadows of the crowd, the two assassins who had followed them exchanged a glance and quietly took out crystal balls from their pockets.

After a while, they transmitted the previously recorded footage to the high-ranking officials sitting in the conference room inside the exorcism gate.

Under the careful care of the priests at the temple, Holy Spirit Heart, whose health had improved considerably, couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this scene: "The adaptability of this new Demon Hunter team far exceeds expectations. Perhaps, they won't even need the assassins' help this time."

Ruoshui, who had rushed from the priest's temple, rested her chin on her hand, looked at Lan Yanyu beside her, who was radiating coldness and seemed to want to rush into the crystal ball and stab Long Haochen, and covered her mouth and chuckled a few times.

Then, Ruoshui said with great interest, "This hastily formed team is quite well-organized under the quick arrangements of the team leaders. However, a few of the kids in the lower-ranked teams don't look too happy."

The veteran Saint Moon understood the implied meaning and frowned slightly, saying, "After the battle, will they flee?"

Ruoshui took a sip of tea, her beautiful eyes lowered as she gazed at the greenish-blue tea. She said slowly, "Not necessarily, but these little ones need to improve their mental fortitude. After they return, please ask Yanyu to take them to the Dharma Master Platform for more training and practice."

When Lan Yanyu was called by her "senior", she turned her head and forced a smile. "Definitely."

Meanwhile, Bai Ling, having set up the trap, returned to the bushes to conceal herself, quietly waiting with everyone for the arrival of the mission target.

Before long, the distant plains were illuminated by a ghostly blue fire, and the cries of magical beasts rose and fell, reaching everyone's ears.

In this way, the people hiding in the shadows no longer need the confirmation of the mages and summoners in the team.

The intelligence relayed to them by the top scouts of Exorcism Pass was accurate; the demon race's grain transport team was heading this way.

In less than a minute, the Soul Butterflies, which feed on remains, brought Chen Ying'er reliable news.

The towering flames have the effect of enhancing the demons' physical strength. Although the flames seem very close to them, it will take about ten minutes for them to actually walk over.

Hiding a kilometer away to prevent other demons from taking the opportunity to escape, Long Haochen's team relayed the information Chen Ying'er had learned to Bai Ling.

A bluish-green wind element emanated from the bushes, its cool voice resonating in everyone's hearts: "Get ready, the demons will be here soon."

"Roger that!"

About ten minutes later, a long queue came into view.

Eight fourth-tier Zelin dual-blade demons were pulling a large cart, slowly approaching them.

The scouting eyes of the mages in each team began to work, and the caravan consisted of about two hundred carriages, all pulled by dual-wielding mages.

The carriage was guarded by some strong dual-wielding demons and magic-eyed sorcerers.

There are a total of three thousand demons, from front to back and from left to right.
