Chapter 625: No Face to Claim Glory
But as Zhou Xue’er’s voice fell.
“Ahhh!!”
Miserable screams pierced the sky, audible even to those hovering hundreds of ters above.
Turning their heads to look…
They saw the fifteen Earth Ghost Generals already torn to pieces by the giant insects, completely annihilated.
Everyone: “…”
“Alright…”
“Then let’s clean up the remaining ghost minions and captains!”
Zhou Xue’er ordered again.
But at this mont, a reserve squad captain sighed and said, “Deputy Zhou, unfortunately, the ghost minions of Drak City have already been wiped out like garbage by the insects. Look…”
“Now those insects are just wandering around, burping contentedly…”
Everyone turned to look again.
Damn…
It was true!!
Clean and spotless!!
The millions of ghost minions had either perished in the teoric flas, earthquakes, and tsunamis or been entirely devoured by the highly sensitive giant insect swarm.
Ghost minions in the fifty-to-sixty level range had no resistance against SS-class insects.
Zhou Xue’er’s delicate face was utterly numb.
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
The other reserve squads were the sa, their mouths twitching uncontrollably.
At this mont.
Everyone had only one question in their minds: What was the point of coming here with Commander Ling?
To slack off?
Or to sightsee?
They had initially descended into Drak City with fervent zeal, ready to slaughter ghost minions in a massive battle.
But after the calamities hit, they ascended, descended again…
And found they had nothing to do.
It felt like they were here to observe and go through the motions.
They really wanted to grab Commander Ling by the collar and ask, “You handled it all yourself, so why did you even call us here?”
“Ahem…”
“Everyone can rest assured that Commander Ling…”
“He always splits the mission rewards evenly; everyone gets a share.”
Seeing the group’s odd expressions, Zhou Xue’er coughed lightly, trying to console them.
“Deputy Zhou, do you think we have the face to accept this credit?”
Another squad captain asked gloomily.
Zhou Xue’er: “…”
Everyone: “…”
They really didn’t have the face for it!
Mainly because they hadn’t contributed anything!
If they had at least fought and killed enemies, regardless of whether it impacted the battle, they could’ve justified taking the credit.
But now…
One ascent and descent, followed by another ascent and descent.
And they were expected to accept the credit? Anyone with a conscience would feel ashad.
For the first ti, they felt guilty about receiving rewards.
“Just accept it. You all know Commander Ling’s character; he’ll split it evenly.”
“If you don’t agree, you can talk to him directly.”
Zhou Xue’er said softly.
The group fell silent.
So even shrank their necks.
No way were they going to bring it up with Commander Ling.
Not because they feared him.
Commander Ling’s personality might be cold, but he handled work-related matters calmly.
The real reason was they feared he might stop including them in his plans.
Previously, these reserve squads followed the top-tier reserve teams.
Top-tier squads consisted entirely of level ninety-plus mbers.
But after the deathmatch tournant, those squads had quieted down completely.
They obediently carried out the tasks assigned from above.
Even for a critical operation like advancing into the Blazing Heart Empire, they voiced no objections to being led by Ling Zhan, a non-specialist.
What a joke!
Did they dare object?
In the deathmatch tournant, they had witnessed Ling Zhan’s glorious feat of single-handedly battling over a dozen mbers of an evil organization!
Not only did he win, but he also took the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the organization’s higher-ups!
It was sothing they couldn’t even dream of attempting!
Given the circumstances.
Every reserve squad mber at the Hundred Ghosts Fortress was utterly convinced of Ling Zhan’s strength.
Initially, they had belittled and dismissed him.
Now, they all lowered their heads in submission.
And this transformation took less than three months.
By the numbers, Ling Zhan was about to enter his sophomore year.
After the global championship, his first sester as a freshman had ended.
Having spent over three months at the frontline fortress, he was about to beco a sophomore.
It was hard to believe…
That such a formidable individual, even the commanders of various national armies couldn’t ignore, was still just a freshman entering his second year!!
If they hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, no one would believe it!
At this mont.
The fifteen Earth Ghost Generals had been completely consud by the SS-class insects, not even leaving behind a scrap of bone.
It was as if they had never existed in this world.
Ling Zhan looked at the results of his actions, inwardly astonished.
‘Grand Calamity!!’
This skill was ridiculously powerful!!
And Ling Zhan hadn’t even fully unleashed it!
If he had fully activated it…
Lightning calamities.
Snowstorms.
Droughts.
Plagues.
And more…
Would have descended in force!
This was a skill capable of annihilating entire nations!
Once Ling Zhan leveled up to one hundred, the full potential of ‘Grand Calamity’ would be unimaginable. Not just a supercity, but even a small country could be wiped out!
The fifteen Earth Ghost Generals before him…
Their strength was far inferior to the holy sons and daughters of the evil organization.
But they weren’t pushovers either.
Yet, even so, they were slaughtered by the relentless SS-class insects.
They could breach the insects’ defenses, but…
It took too long.
Especially with the endless waves of insects, they were overwheld.
Under such circumstances, the Earth Ghost Generals’ demise was inevitable.
Ding!
【You have slain the Twin-Headed Ghost, gaining 320,000 XP.】
【You have slain the Mountain-Eating Ghost, gaining 150,000 XP.】
【You have slain a Ghost Minion, gaining 1 XP.】
【You have slain a Ghost Minion Captain, gaining 10 XP.】
.........
The combat log on his interface continuously updated.
Every class-advancent individual had access to this combat data panel.
Killing the fifteen Earth Ghost Generals netted over 4 million XP.
Surprisingly, the ghost minions and their captains…
Given Ling Zhan’s current level of seventy-five.
And the ghost minions being in the fifty-to-sixty range, with captains in the sixty-to-seventy range.
The level disparity made their XP contribution minimal.
Yet, due to their staggering numbers in the millions, Ling Zhan gained over seven million XP from them.
More than from slaying the Earth Ghost Generals.
