Chapter 515: What the Hell
All the reserve squad members were completely stunned.
What the hell?
This non-specialist wants to repair all the spatial tunnels by himself?
Just one person!!
"Captain Ling, are you sure?"
"Alone!"
Even Zhou Xue'er couldn't help but repeat the question.
You have to understand.
According to intelligence from the higher-ups, the spatial teleportation station was guarded by at least thirty elite ghost slaves, all above level 80.
Among them was even a level 92 Earth Ghost General stationed there.
Only with all of the reserve squads working together could they complete this task.
Yet, Ling Zhan wanted to go in alone!
"Captain Ling, this isn't a good idea. How about we leave half of the people here?"
"Yeah, it's said that there are a lot of monsters at the teleportation station. This isn't a flat battlefield, so you won't be able to summon that A+ ranked contracted spirit army again!"
At this moment.
Several other reserve squad captains from different nations began to try and persuade Ling Zhan.
As they said.
This was an urban area.
If Ling Zhan summoned that A+ ranked contracted spirit army again, the entire northwest district of Hakata City would be destroyed.
They hadn't forgotten the shocking sight of that contracted spirit army trampling countless ghost slaves into the ground!
If that A+ ranked contracted spirit army were summoned here again, there was no doubt the northwest district of Hakata City would be in ruins, and the spatial teleportation station might get destroyed as well.
The mission would fail.
"What? Have your superiors taught you that subordinates can question their captain's orders on the battlefield?"
Faced with their persuasion, Ling Zhan didn't offer any explanation.
In his eyes, there was no need to explain.
Nor did he feel like wasting time on explanations.
Since he was the captain, these subordinates must obey unconditionally!
To put it bluntly.
Even if Ling Zhan's order was wrong, it must not be disobeyed—carry it out without hesitation!
If every soldier questioned and disobeyed orders from above, how could they fight on the battlefield?
How would they execute orders?
Faced with Ling Zhan's cold words, the reserve squad members from various countries fell silent.
"Once all the team members enter Hakata City, follow your respective captains' commands!"
"Your primary task isn't to kill those ghost slaves, but to save as many innocent civilians as possible!"
"Alright, dismissed!"
Ling Zhan waved his hand indifferently, and the reserve squad members finally gritted their teeth and descended into the various regions of Hakata City.
As for Ling Zhan...
His gaze slowly turned toward the distant spatial teleportation station.
There...
Dense ghostly energy swirled, and countless ghost slaves howled, tearing through the night sky. The sound reached Ling Zhan's ears, as if issuing a warning and challenge.
It seemed the creatures from the ghost nest had some intelligence.
They knew that if the armies from the various nations regained control of the teleportation station, this ghost nest disaster would quickly be quelled.
So, after successfully holding back the level 100, fourth-tier powerhouses, they sent their most important forces to take control of the teleportation station.
In this situation.
The teleportation station was heavily guarded and was one of the most crucial locations for the ghost nest forces.
The other key location, naturally, was the defense system hub of Hakata City.
As one of Fusang Kingdom's major cities, Hakata City undoubtedly had a top-tier defense system.
Major nations heavily valued their frontline cities.
Most of these cities were equipped with defense systems capable of destroying level 100, fourth-tier beings.
To prevent this defense system from activating, the remnants of the Demon Arrival Organization acted immediately upon the ghost nest's descent, sabotaging the central hub of the defense system.
To prevent the engineers from repairing it, they also deployed a strong force to guard it.
Currently.
The strategic plan for the armies was as follows...
The reserve squads were responsible for repairing the teleportation station, allowing the forces from the Hundred Ghost Fortress to quickly reinforce the area.
Meanwhile, the elite squads of the various national armies were tasked with breaching the heavily defended defense system hub, aiming to restore the defense system.
Once the defense system was restored, the ghost nest in the sky could be destroyed instantly.
All the ghost slaves and monsters throughout Hakata City could be precisely eliminated!
The weaker forces were deployed to rescue the innocent civilians in the city.
However, the higher-ups could never have imagined...
Ling Zhan would dismiss the entire reserve squad, sending them to rescue the civilians.
Swoosh!!
Meanwhile, Ling Zhan himself...
In an instant, with the use of 'Light Teleportation,' his figure disappeared and reappeared above the teleportation station!
Roar!!
As soon as Ling Zhan appeared.
The ghost slaves below let out piercing howls!
Swoosh!!
The elite ghost slaves unfolded their grotesque, fleshy wings and flew madly toward Ling Zhan!
These ghost slaves were far stronger than the ones on the plains battlefield!
Back on the plains, the ghost slave monsters could only run and attack, with no ability to fly.
But now, this group guarding the teleportation station was not only two to three times stronger in level and attributes, but they could also fly freely!
A swarm of ghost slaves, like locusts and ants, surged toward Ling Zhan.
But standing in midair, Ling Zhan's gaze remained calm as he slowly raised his hand!
Hum!!
A crimson flash appeared.
A beautiful red staff materialized in his hand.
In less than a second.
Terrifying magical energy began to surge around him!!
Then, enormous fireballs, burning with towering flames, began to coalesce in the sky!
He seemed to cast without any chanting, without worrying about running out of mana.
Recklessly, he conjured one massive fireball after another, like meteors!
In just two breaths.
The entire northwest district of Hakata City was bathed in a fiery red glow, as if illuminated by a scorching sun, turning the entire area into a blazing red day!!
Every ghost slave that looked up could see the red flames reflected on their grotesque faces!
Meanwhile, the reserve squad members, who were just about to land, suddenly turned their heads!
"Look! The northwest district!"
With a single shout.
Everyone immediately turned their gaze!
And when they saw the sky half-painted in red, with those fireballs like world-ending meteors hanging in the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but blurt out...
"What the hell!!"
