[Skill: Lunar Blessing]
The four were surrounded by twinkling starlight, their bodies glowing faintly with white light. The Star Warrior created a magical shield to protect them, while the Moon Warrior spent a large amount of magic to increase their agility.
They couldn't care less about getting the first kill or not; that little sun alone had already pushed the four of them to their level cap.
The four members of the Sky Warriors team fled far away, and soon higher-level demons also noticed the commotion.
What was initially thought to be a minor incident turned into a massive fire that engulfed the city atop the giant tree!
not good!
Something terrible is happening!
Not long after, a giant blue eagle rushed over and watched the fire in the city from afar in the sky.
He was the lord of the city;
【Azure Eagle Viscount】
Its majestic voice, amplified by magic, resounded throughout the city below—
"The entire city, heed my command! At all costs!"
Control the fire!
"Oh!"
The next moment, it transformed into a streak of blue light and turned away into the distance.
[Viscount Azure Eagle] specializes in wind magic, which ironically amplifies the power of fire. 『↑々∷wu$▲
It must seek help from other viscount cities, or even from the earl!
Since the task was to control the fire, it immediately thought of [Viscount Water Demon].
Hurry! We must bring him here as soon as possible!
……
The Sky Heroes team was able to escape from the city by using two special abilities.
Fortunately, the higher-level demons don't concern themselves with the affairs of the lower-level demons. If there were a large number of level nine or even level ten demons present, they might not be able to escape.
Of course, they didn't tell the Fighting Heroes team that they had used special abilities; they only said that they had encountered an unprecedented crisis.
The next day, the four members of the Sky Hero Squad recovered after a night's rest.
On the same morning, the Halberd Warriors team returned to their base.
Their squad was similar in composition to the Saintess Squad, and was relatively balanced, so they didn't encounter any trouble in defeating different leaders.
Their methods of attack also differed from other teams, relying more on the [Demon Warrior] Rox's [Mystic Eyes].
The demon leader's magic power is clearly different from that of his other subordinates; it can be seen at a glance through the [Demon Eye].
Even if they are not demons with high magic power, they will still have magic power on them, so it is easy to tell who the leaders are.
Buy a map, find locations where demons might gather, and then look for buildings that are clearly distinct from other buildings.
Finally, crouch down and turn to find an opportunity to behead the leader.
Their team's strategy was somewhat similar to the Saintess Squad, but... compared to the Saintess Squad, they were a bit more reckless.
After all, the whole plan was a bit too rough. If it weren't for the [Magic Eye], it would be impossible to execute such a simplified plan, and other teams couldn't learn from it.
[Magic Eye] allows you to see magic through buildings, which is much simpler than crouching down and trying to discern it with the naked eye.
The encyclopedia won't tell the heroes which one is a special individual.
By this point, three squads had returned to the base.
"The only ones who haven't returned yet are the Saintess Squad and the Dragon Warrior Squad."
In the conference room, Blazer sat in his chair and spoke calmly.
"Let's wait for them a little longer; they're probably already on their way back," said Seitz, the Halberd Warrior.
The heroes present all had this idea.
After all, they had all returned to their base this week.
Some teams come back earlier and some later, so it's normal that the remaining two teams would come back even later, right?
Logically, after they finished resupplying and submitting intelligence, they should have immediately looked for new demon cities to hunt down higher-level demons.
However, all the heroes at this moment unanimously felt that they should wait for the other two teams to return before making any further plans.
Because this supply mechanism is flawed, they should revise their plan and change their strategy, shouldn't they?
Unexpectedly, several days passed during this wait.
The Holy Hero was born on the sixth day of the fourth week of the tenth month.
With the week drawing to a close, the adventurers were all beginning to worry and feel anxious.
They couldn't have waited that long, but the longer they waited, the more they wanted to know about the safety of the others.
Everyone summarized and shared their experiences, and they all realized that defeating an eighth-level demon did not actually take that long.
If you encounter a crisis during a raid, killing some non-leader level 8 demons can quickly increase your level and allow you to escape.
The Sky Heroes team has already faced enough dangers, could the other two teams be facing even more perilous situations?
What the hell is going on?
On the sixth night, the only topic of discussion at the meeting of the heroes was whether to stay or leave the next day.
This is something that should be decided by different squads, such as which squad goes and which squad stays.
However, at the meeting, even the heroes from the same team had different opinions.
For example, the Fighting Heroes Squad;
As the team leader, Blazer felt that they could not wait any longer. They not only needed to level up quickly, but Silvermoon Fortress also needed support.
But the Lion Warrior Xingu and the Flute Warrior Franti felt that they had already waited so many days, so what difference would it make if they waited a day earlier or later?
Blazer, however, said that setting off a day earlier would mean arriving at the next city a day earlier, and thus leveling up a day sooner.
“I don’t want to say we’re wasting time, but whether they come back or not, we just have to keep moving forward, don’t we?” Blazer asked.
“But shouldn’t we at least make sure they’re safe? What if they need help and we’re not here?” Franti retorted.
"I agree with Miss Flute Hero's opinion." Blue was unusually serious.
Rox listened silently from the side.
She was the oldest in the group, and that's why she understood that nothing she said would make a difference in this situation.
Neither side is wrong; both sides are right. (liu)
Such arguments, where no right or wrong can be determined, are most likely to cause discord within a team.
Even if both sides know that the other's intentions are good.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a sound of something being struck against the wooden wall came from behind.
The sound wasn't coming from the table where the argument was taking place, but from the stairwell.
The Moon Warrior Apollo shouted, "Stop arguing! I have good news!"
News from the Saintess Squad!
The arguing heroes immediately fell silent, their eyes all fixed on Apollo.
He smiled and said, "This week, the Saintess Squad returned to human territory and urgently modified the unreasonable subjugation mode."
Originally, each team attacked from different directions, but now it's been changed to two or more teams working together, one responsible for attacking and the other for providing support..."
Then, Apollo began to recount the intelligence he had just brought back.
The heroes have been in close contact with the supply station these past few days, hoping to obtain relevant information from it.
The Moon Warrior has a natural advantage in operating at night, so he has been in charge of delivering intelligence for the past few days.
The heroes also considered that if there was an emergency, the Saintess Squad and the Dragon Warrior Squad might not choose to return to this base to reunite.
To their surprise, this wait actually yielded information about the Saintess Squad.
And it's good news!
If the Saintess Squad gets into a tough fight, where will they find the time to go back and urgently revise their strategy?
"Wait, if that's the case..."
We can leave some here and send the rest out to fight?
"If we keep in touch, we won't have to worry about this situation anymore, right?" Star Warrior Sino said excitedly.
“Indeed, a very clever strategy,” Rox finally spoke.
If there's any way to resolve the conflict and achieve the best of both worlds, it's precisely the extermination strategy provided by the Saintess Squad!
Although none of the four members of the Saintess Squad were here, they inexplicably resolved the dispute here!
"As expected of the four of them." Lan's face brightened from cloudy to sunny.
The gunpowder smell that had filled the space dissipated quickly because of this information.
The topic shifted from "to go or to stay" to "who goes and who stays".
Seitz, the Halberd Warrior, spoke up: "I think we have three squads."
One team goes to level up.
One team went to find the whereabouts of the Dragon Warrior Squad.
"Another team will stay here to assist with supplies and intelligence relay, how about that?"
"Let's stay here," Lan said directly.
The Sky Hero Squad has lost two special abilities, which is equivalent to losing two survival abilities. At this time, stopping and waiting for the cooldown is the best option.
Lan continued, "We can all fly, although we are not as fast as the more agile warriors, but it will be much more convenient to transmit information."
“Let’s go find someone,” said Seitz, the Halberd Hero. “The four members of the Fighting Hero team probably don’t have our exploration abilities…”
