Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 773 - 32: Support Valkyrie (5k)_3

Including the Qing’an Team, all the Transcendents present on the battlefield at that time had lost contact, with Ishana having not appeared for 24 hours straight, most likely trapped in the Mysterious Realm as well.

As such, the so-called frontline affairs became irrelevant. Whoever could first slay the Goalkeeper and seize control of the Nerve Center inside the Mysterious Realm would then control the entire restriction of the Mysterious Realm, thus launching an overwhelming suppression and annihilation against the enemies trapped there as well.

"This is greatly advantageous for us!" After reviewing the frontline intelligence, Yan Yu immediately concluded, "Our Lu Country’s Dagger Strategy is best suited for this type of Mysterious Realm conquest battle."

The Lu Country pattern was no secret internationally—using resource concentration to build top combat power, which proved almost invincible in small-scale skirmishes. For example, in the final phase of the Departure Palace battle, Ye Jun activated the Xuan Guang Ruler Magic Treasure, protecting a dozen members of two teams with light flowers while blocking the Departure Palace gates for defense, even managing to complete the mission without any injuries in the end.

However, this pattern, when applied to a vast battlefield where forces were forced to exchange heavy losses against numerous lesser soldiers, would become very costly... Therefore, in Lu Country’s several foreign campaigns, whether it was the Three Islands Treasure Ship, the Secret Realm of Li Palace, the Southern Border, or the Northern Border battle, almost all used the Dagger Strategy that avoided the main enemy forces and directly went for the leadership of the opposition.

Now that a gigantic Mysterious Realm had replaced the chaotic battlefield, even without the disappearance of the Qing’an Team, it was the best timing for Lu Country to intervene.

"The Dragon Soar Team has other tasks," Chen Tianming said smilingly, "Therefore, between the Huofeng Team and your team, the Privy Council has ultimately decided to dispatch you to explore the Mysterious Realm and assist the currently unreachable Qing’an Team."

"No problem," Yan Yu said nodding, "When do we depart?"

"As soon as possible," Li Weiguo said, "The intelligence materials you need will be delivered to your residence. After reading them, you all can depart, no later than tomorrow noon."

"Understood, we have 24 hours to prepare," Yan Yu realized.

"It is at most only 24 hours!" Li Weiguo corrected, "Yan Yu, I recall you have a good relationship with Li Minghu, right? You wouldn’t want to delay here too long and increase the chances of her encountering danger there."

Yan Yu: ???

Wait, are you really old Li from Lu Country? This tone of yours...

Seeing Chen Tianming also smiling teasingly, Yan Yu finally understood; these two senior predecessors probably heard some gossip about him and the Valkyrie and were fanning the flames here!

Since the two were still in the mood to joke, it indicated an optimistic assessment from above regarding the situation of the Qing’an Team. Thus, Yan Yu took leave comfortably, and afterwards returned to his hotel suite to find that everyone had almost finished eating.

"Here, saved some dishes for you," Zhao Yuanzhen brought over a platter filled with various dishes that had completely cooled down.

Yan Yu didn’t take it but said to Zhou Hongyu:

"We have a mission to go on."

"Now?" Zhou Hongyu asked frowning.

"Within 24 hours," Yan Yu mentioned.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Usually, the tasks assigned from above hardly gave any preparation time, such as leading a team to kill a rebellious cultivator or clear a small Mysterious Realm. Once the order was officially issued, the team had to immediately deploy using Sword Control.

Because in the eyes of the higher-ups, you were the most elite and top cultivator force of Lu Country, handling these simple tasks should be effortless; thus, the expectation was to complete them swiftly, prioritizing efficiency.

Conversely, being given 24 hours to prepare this time implied it was certainly not just any ordinary task, but a high-risk major task.

"Since that’s the case, we won’t stay any longer," without needing Yan Yu’s telepathic reminder, Zhang Huaide immediately stood up.

"No need for farewells," Yan Yu didn’t mince words. Communicating with smart people had its perks, little Zhang had probably already guessed the situation.

With the entire Zhenghai Team at Hua Mansion, what else could possibly warrant the whole team’s mobilization? It wasn’t the east then it was the south; considering the Qing’an Team and Zhenghai Team’s successive withdrawals, with the country’s top forces vacated by half, the Huofeng Team would surely soon be summoned back by the Pingxi Army, probably to oversee the entire South China Region to fill the power vacuum left by the two teams.

Everyone was about to get busy.

As Yan Yu contemplated this, he suddenly heard someone sending him a message.

"Be careful," it was Zhou Hongyu’s voice, "If you need help, contact me anytime."

"Captain Yan, take care," followed by Tang Xiaolian’s caution, "Although it seems I might not be the one to remind you, I still hope you will be careful and return safely." ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Don’t worry," Yan Yu replied to both via telepathy, "Please take care as well."

After the Huofeng Team left, the remaining girls also stood up, only to hear Zhao Yuanzhen ask solemnly:

"Do we depart now?"

"Two hours later," Yan Yu had already made up his mind, to first return and readjust the team’s condition, recuperate the True Yuan lost during training, replenish with some Elixir Medicine, and go over the intelligence report with Chen Lingyun one more time before finally setting off.

"That’s great," Zhao Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "then I’ll go get some takeout boxes..."

"How can you still think about eating at this time!" Yan Yu immediately grabbed hold of her, tightening his grip around her neck fiercely and said, "The two hours I left are for everyone to adjust their condition before departure! Not for you, you dead fat pig, to have an extra meal!"

Zhao Yuanzhen’s face turned red and she struggled in pain, cursing inwardly and nearly cracking her teeth:

I’m always the one holding you in my embrace; since when is it your turn to choke my neck? This is an utter disgrace and reversal of Heavenly Gang! If the day comes when I turn the tables and rule, I must make you experience the power of a dead fat pig. If I don’t split your pelvis, I won’t bear the Zhao surname!
