Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 278: Deep Behind Enemy Lines, Corpses Bloom in the Mud

Finally, the day of departure arrived. A pre-war swearing-in ceremony was held in the camp, and the coalition headquarters began to assign tasks.

As communicated in advance, the Fire Phoenix Team was responsible for attacking the Mirror Lake Secret Realm in Ailao Mountain, while most of the other teams were to cooperate with the Pingxi Army in deploying defenses to block the enemy forces heading north.

The opposing side was mainly composed of folk sorcerers, with no supply restrictions such as ammunition. In addition, they had suffered heavy losses from the long-range firepower projection of the Annan Army before, and now they had been divided into tactical teams of three or five people, each fighting independently, and there was not even a unified command and dispatch... This decentralized situation made the command center feel a little bored, with a feeling of "the overall strength is obviously enough to crush the opponent, but we are dragged into the quagmire of security war by the endless guerrillas."

Losing was naturally impossible. But even if 99% of the opposing transcendents were eliminated, allowing the remaining 1% to infiltrate would still cause considerable damage. Furthermore, sorcerers possessed a variety of unknown and difficult-to-defend spells, resulting in no guaranteed way to eliminate these exceptionally skilled survivors, a rare breed of weaklings.

To give an example, it's like humans dealing with cockroaches in the house - it's easy to kill the cockroaches, but it's very difficult to kill them all.

After discussion and analysis by the superiors of the Privy Council, a rather radical tactical plan was finally formulated, code-named "Champion Marquis".

Following the example of the Han Dynasty champion Hou Huo Qubing, they went deep into the country to carry out a surprise decapitation of the Witch King's headquarters, forcing the Witch King to summon a large number of troops to return for defense, thereby minimizing the defense pressure in the country.

Of course, the overall coalition of wizards also shows a trend of decentralization. Many civilian extraordinary people are willing to follow them north to grab training resources, not to protect you, the Wizard King himself, so you can't expect a decapitation tactic to solve everything.

Whether it is the "Champion Hou Squad" responsible for beheading, or other teams cooperating with the Annan and Pingxi armies in the country, they will face unprecedented severe tests.

The Champion Hou team is to be the spearhead, so the strength requirements are naturally needless to say, and they definitely want the best.

The Zhenhai and Qing'an teams have a total of 11 people, equivalent to two special forces teams, which are just right for coordinating actions with each other.

Therefore, the Privy Council has officially authorized "Dragon City Flying General" Yan Yu to lead the team and be in charge of all decision-making during this operation. The first priority is to oppress and behead the Witch King, and he can kill anyone regardless of whether he is an internal or external person.

Yan Yu was not surprised to receive this authorization from his superior, or rather, he had expected it.

The Privy Council in the previous life had always adhered to this heroic mindset: in order to protect as many civilians as possible, lower-level monks were responsible for intercepting the enemy, while higher-level monks took on the riskier task of decapitation... The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and heroes had to pay more, even sacrifice more.

This way of thinking was completely contrary to that of foreign superhuman forces. For foreign superhuman forces, the higher the level of superhuman, the more valuable they were, and the more they needed to be protected in battle. On the other hand, unarmed civilians could be sacrificed without any regret.

It's hard to say which way of thinking is superior. Even though Yan Yu himself also upholds the heroic ideology of defending his country, he has to admit that this kind of thinking is sometimes fatal: for example, the death of the Valkyrie in his previous life was a huge loss.

Oh, I won’t say anymore!
In this life... I will take responsibility, I will allow it, I will carry the entire Lu Kingdom!
After receiving the order, everyone quickly left the command center and took off on their swords.

"Lao Yan," Li Zhaojiang said earnestly, "We're all following you this time. You have to be a good leader."

"Okay." Yan Yu replied calmly, "I'll send you first when we go to the battlefield later."

"What? We followed you because we believed you were our big brother, and now you let us take the brunt of the trouble?" Li Zhaojiang feigned discontent. "You're rebelling! We're rebelling! We're all rebelling!"

"Okay." Yan Yu remained calm, "Then send your sister instead."

"Fuck!" Li Zhaojiang was stunned and shouted, "You're trying to embarrass a woman, aren't you? Yan Yu, you're really brave!"

"Haha, anxious again."

"Okay, Ajiang, stop joking." Li Minghu finally said, "Yanyu, what should we do next?"

"Find the Witch King first." Yan Yu replied.

Having said that, the problem is that the Witch King does not have a sign on his head with the four large characters "I am the Witch King" written on it in Luguo.

Modern decapitation operations are often inseparable from intelligence infiltration. For example, you get intelligence about who will appear in a car at a certain place, and then follow the intelligence to decapitate the enemy.

But on the other hand, if there is no intelligence, it will be difficult to locate the exact position of the Witch King.

"I'll contact the Annan Army and ask them to provide more intelligence support," Li Minghu said in a deep voice. "No need." Yan Yu waved his hand, "Don't make it difficult for the military intelligence personnel on the front line. I have my own way."

What can I do? Shark!
Don't underestimate this kind of fish. It is the valuable experience summarized by countless monks in previous lives. The principle is that the highest leader of the extraordinary force is often also the strongest extraordinary person in this force.

As long as you are a crazy shark, a powerful shark, and a chaotic shark! Shark the bodies of the extraordinary people at the bottom and leave them everywhere. If the people at the top don't show up, people will lose their morale. If they do show up, you can catch them and follow the clues to find their leader... Go up layer by layer, and you will be able to lock on to the top leader in five or six attempts at most.

In this way, the structure of the extraordinary forces is actually quite flat.

After hearing what Yan Yu said, everyone secretly felt relieved.

Apart from the extraordinary skills they have cultivated, they are actually just college students who have not yet entered society. They are relatively lacking in life experience and social experience. When encountering such things, they are completely in the dark and don't know where to start.

Team Yan said we don't need to do anything, just play shark. That's great, we're the best at that!

So everyone was very excited and headed south along the plateau terrain and soon crossed the border.

The southern territory was covered with dense forests, and the dirt roads were intertwined and interrupted by creeping vegetation. In some places, there were large craters left by artillery bombardments, but there was no smoke - perhaps it was the traces left by the battle between the mortal army and the civilian supernatural beings, and now the former had been reduced to ashes.

Suddenly, a thick fog arose in the distance. It was dark blue in color and came with the wind, covering the sky and approaching everyone in the blink of an eye.

"Land." Yan Yu quickly said in a voice transmission.

Everyone immediately suppressed their sword lights and quickly descended under the treetops. They could only hear the whistling of the wind in the sky and the rustling of the leaves, as if countless insects were passing by like a tide.

Green Saint Miasma.

Similar to the "Eternal Night Sky" in the northern border of the previous life, the sorcerers in the southern border also gave birth to nearly a huge amount of various miasma, which not only helped them block satellite surveillance, but also completely locked down air superiority - even if a drone was caught in it, it would be corroded to pieces. If a sword-wielding monk accidentally fell into it, he would immediately turn into bones.

Fortunately, this miasma currently seemed to be unmanned and was simply wandering around at will. Everyone fell into the forest, avoiding the pursuit of the Qingsheng miasma, but saw only a decaying swamp below, with a pungent smell.

Countless dry tree roots twisted and distorted like deformed limbs, moving up and down in the stinking and filthy quagmire. There were also a large number of white bones that were looming in it, with swarms of flies flying over them as if they were enjoying a feast. The monks who saw it shuddered and felt nauseous.

Before setting out, everyone received intelligence from the headquarters and learned that this was the "Sea of Corpses" created by the sorcerer with evil magic to give rise to the various miasma that is now rampant in the southern border.

The creation of each sea of corpses required the sacrifice of vast quantities of human flesh and blood. The vast sea of bones and mud beneath their feet represented the beginning of at least ten thousand "sacrifices," driven like livestock from nearby villages and towns by sorcerers, then brutally slaughtered by the dark magic.

These seas of corpses, large and small, have now spread to every corner of the southern border. The reason is even more cruel and direct: the sorcerer forces are fighting each other endlessly. You have a sea of corpses and I don’t, so you can unscrupulously stimulate miasma and launch a full-scale war of annihilation against me. Therefore, I must also establish a sea of corpses, even if it means slaughtering many people!

The girls looked at this tragic scene that was like hell on earth, and their faces showed disgust, rejection, and intolerance; the men like Li Zhaojiang were indifferent. After all, the people who were slaughtered were not of the same race as them, so it was none of their business.

Only Yan Yu frowned slightly and sighed inwardly.

The unbridled growth of transcendental individuals among the public signifies endless internal strife, internal friction, and internal competition. Behind the slogan "everyone has the power to practice, everyone can become stronger" lies a mountain of corpses of the weak. Isn't this a paradise for a few practitioners, but an endless purgatory for countless people?

I, Yan Yu, do not have any great wisdom, and I cannot design a social system that allows extraordinary people and ordinary people to live in harmony.

I only have a Huangting sword, and I am willing to send you all to hell. May I ask where the Witch King is?
He turned his head and gestured for a moment, and Xie Ruoxi activated his true energy. A flash of lightning fell into the quagmire in front of him, making a loud and earth-shaking noise.

Not long after, a team of sorcerers, alarmed by the news, came floating over from afar on the gloomy wind, looking for the culprit who destroyed the Sea of Corpses... Seeing countless sword lights floating in the air, they were all stunned.

"Kill." Yan Yu ordered indifferently.
