Chapter 485: A New Mission
What followed was a massacre, crushing the opposition with overwhelming force.
The strength of the Free Federation's seventeenth squad was unimpressive.
Under the onslaught of the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad and the Ghost-Slaying Corps' fourteenth squad, all remaining mbers of the Free Federation were completely annihilated.
After Matsuda Rika and her squad took down the Free Federation mbers, they trembled as they looked at their captain.
Matsuda Rika gazed at the tall, expressionless figure from start to finish.
They actually killed them…
They really did!
Not only did they complete what seed like an extrely difficult task, but they also eliminated Jonathan and his team, whom they had hated for so long!!
This was unimaginable before.
Even Zhou Xue'er...
And the mbers of the Dragon Kingdom’s ninth squad were in awe of their new captain.
Incredible…
Jonathan was almost instantly killed!
A Mighty Demon King, known for his extre vitality, whom even Zhou Xue'er struggled to defeat, was killed with a single strike by this non-specialist!
It was a brutal thod, taking down a key figure right in front of everyone.
Not only did this instill fear and shock in their enemies…
Even their allies couldn’t help but feel both fear and respect for him.
Especially the few fourth-year mbers who had held grudges against Ling Zhan—now, they were fully convinced.
They knew that if it were them, they wouldn’t have been able to kill the Mighty Demon King!
Was this their new captain of the Dragon Kingdom’s ninth squad?
Damn!
His strength was absurdly high!
In fact…
They even thought this first-year student could be compared to the top-tier fourth-year elites!
"Captain Ling, what’s our next step?"
One of the fourth-year mbers couldn’t help but ask.
By now, they had developed complete trust in this new captain.
"Clean up the bodies and follow the plan to disguise them."
"As for the credit... let those fools take it."
Ling Zhan said coldly.
In fact...
From what he had learned from Zhou Xue'er, it wasn’t the first ti that there had been conflicts between different nations' squads at the Hundred Ghosts Fortress.
Particularly with the Free Federation.
The Free Federation’s demon squad acted recklessly, only caring about themselves.
There were even rumors of them going berserk on the battlefield and attacking their allies.
Of course...
Even squads from the Dragon Kingdom had suffered from their behavior before.
As the captain of the Dragon Kingdom’s ninth squad…
Ling Zhan couldn’t let them get away with it.
Nor would he tolerate their arrogance.
The higher-ups hadn’t sent him to the front lines imdiately but rather assigned him to handle these ‘minor’ issues.
It was a test of Ling Zhan’s personality and problem-solving skills.
Soon…
All the bodies were cleaned up.
The magic array was dispelled as well.
Matsuda Rika felt as if she were dreaming.
With Jonathan gone, she wouldn’t have to endure his disgusting behavior anymore.
As expected…
This man who had defeated her general was no ordinary person!
No wonder Goto Momoka had told her that if she wanted the mission to succeed, she needed to stick close to Ling Zhan.
With everything resolved...
It was ti to retreat.
Zhou Xue'er compiled the mission reports and summaries.
Then, Captain Ling Zhan submitted them to the Dragon Kingdom’s higher command.
As for the total annihilation of the Free Federation’s seventeenth squad...
As expected…
It caused quite a stir.
Especially among the higher-ups of the Free Federation’s demon squad, who were furious. They claid the Dragon Kingdom’s ninth squad had attacked their allies and demanded they be tried in the Transfer Court.
In response...
A high-ranking officer from the Dragon Kingdom simply chuckled, tapped the table, and calmly said, "Where’s the evidence?"
The Free Federation’s demon squad leaders were livid.
They imdiately sought out the Ghost-Slaying Corps' leader.
However…
This leader had long been tired of the Free Federation’s constant interference in Fusang’s affairs.
He coldly brushed them off.
In the end, the event was officially classified as Jonathan leading his team to a heroic death.
Ambushed by the Demon Arrival remnants.
And thus deserving of the highest honor.
However…
What good was honor when they were all dead?
The head of the Free Federation financial family, upon learning of his son’s death during the mission, was furious.
Back at the Hundred Ghosts Fortress...
Ling Zhan spent his days either on standby at the camp or completing the system’s daily tasks and training.
"Hmm..."
"It seems the system hasn’t given a mission in a while..."
Ling Zhan thought casually as he trained.
Ding!!
Just as this thought crossed his mind...
A familiar system notification rang in his head!
【System has detected that the host is currently stationed at the Hundred Ghosts Fortress. Issuing a new challenge mission!】
【Mission Objective: Head to the eastern frontlines of Fusang and reclaim S-4 territory, which has been completely overtaken by ghost slaves!!】
【Mission Reward: Rewards will be based on the host’s performance in completing the mission!】
.........
Finally!
A new mission assignnt had arrived!
In reality...
The system often issued missions based on its predictions of future events, tailoring the objectives for Ling Zhan accordingly.
Sotis Ling Zhan wondered what exactly the system was.
A god?
Or perhaps it was created by gods?
On the surface, the system seed to possess powers akin to those of a deity.
Whatever…
There was no point in overthinking it.
At that mont, Vice-Captain Zhou Xue'er had already notified Ling Zhan to co to the eting room for a briefing on tomorrow’s operations.
When Ling Zhan arrived at the eting room...
He reviewed the tasks assigned to the ninth squad by the higher-ups.
He instantly understood the mission for tomorrow.
The S-4 region.
Ho to a major city known as 'Liuli City.'
It was said that long ago, this was one of the most prosperous cities in Fusang, but when the forbidden land of Takamagahara descended, Liuli City was the first to fall.
All of its citizens were slaughtered and devoured by ghost slaves in the most grueso ways.
While the Ghost-Slaying Corps and various nations’ armies had temporarily reclaid it...
Recently, a powerful Earth Ghost General had erged in the area.
This disrupted the battle, forcing the allied armies to retreat in disarray.
