Chapter 1946
【The Demons】 Mission
"…Commander."
Outside the meeting room, Min Junliang saw Lin Qiye walk out and immediately stepped forward.
"Prepare a plane for me. I'm going to Jialin Pass." Lin Qiye spoke wearily.
"Commander… you don't look well. Do you want to rest first?" Min Junliang noticed the bloodshot eyes in Lin Qiye's gaze and couldn't help but ask.
"No need. There's no time."
"…Understood. I'll arrange it right away."
Min Junliang快步走到一旁，开始打电话，Lin Qiye看着Fate Monk离去的背影，��眸微微眯起。
Even if he pressed further, Fate Monk wouldn't reveal how he planned to deal with【Chaos】. However, based on his movements just now, this method was most likely related to the Ancestral God Temple… but the Ancestral God shouldn't be restored for quite some time yet, so it wouldn't be of any use in this war.
But considering Fate Monk's personality, Lin Qiye chose to trust him. Without a certain degree of confidence, he wouldn't have actively taken on this mission.
Right now, Great Xia truly had no way to deal with【Chaos】. If Fate Monk could really kill It, their odds of victory would increase dramatically!
Soon, a military aircraft descended slowly onto the rooftop of the Night Watch headquarters.
Lin Qiye wrapped himself in the crimson cloak, sat into the cabin, and the plane swiftly took off, heading directly toward Jialin Pass.
He gazed at the empty city gradually receding beneath the window, his eyes slowly closing…
"A tough battle, then…"
…
"Seems like it's going to be one hell of a battle."
After hearing Fang Mo's recount, Su Zhe lay down slowly on the ground and lazily let out a yawn.
He looked at the rising sun on the horizon and murmured, "I wonder if we'll even survive until the end of this war?"
Slap!
A palm struck his forehead crisply!
In the abandoned city, several figures draped in purple cloaks sat atop the tallest financial building, overlooking the forest of steel structures below. The breeze stirred their garments as they sat in silence.
Su Yuan stood beside Su Zhe, retracting her hand, and glared at him viciously.
"What pessimistic nonsense is that? Who咒自己死 before the fight's even started?"
"I'm just considering the worst-case scenario in advance…"
Su Zhe clutched his head, sitting up from the rooftop surface. "You all heard what Fang Mo said. Millions of offspring, plus all those god-level powerhouses. We're just little rookies who haven't even reached Human Apex status. There's basically no room for us to survive."
"If you're scared of dying, you don't have to go." Lu Baoyou spoke hollowly.
"Who's scared? Death comes for all. I'm Su Zhe, alone in this world. What is there to fear?" Su Zhe clasped his hands behind his back, head held high, looking like a proud goose facing death unflinchingly.
Su Yuan's eyelid twitched. She silently drew the scabbard from her waist and began chasing Su Zhe across the rooftop.
"Alone in this world, is it?! I'll show you alone! Alone in this world…"
"Stop hitting, stop hitting, sis! What I mean is, our family's only two heirs are both here. No other relatives outside, and I haven't even found a wife yet. Unlike some people… Ow, ow, ow, easy, easy…"
Upon hearing Su Zhe's words, Li Zhenzhen blinked, secretly exchanged a glance with Fang Mo beside her, then quietly lowered her head…
"Cough… anyway, for the big battle four days from now, everyone needs to be prepared." Fang Mo's expression turned serious. "Although I want to reassure everyone and say we'll definitely survive this war… I doubt any of you would believe it. Since we've donned these cloaks, I believe everyone's already prepared to face that day."
Su Zhe and Su Yuan stopped their scuffle. Everyone turned to look at Fang Mo, their eyes filled with determination.
Fang Mo's gaze swept across everyone, paused for a moment, then spoke:
"We have four days until the great battle arrives… In these four days, we can rest well and—"
Dingalingaling—!!
Before Fang Mo could finish, a phone rang suddenly.
Fang Mo froze, quickly answered the call, exchanged a few words, then hung up with a puzzled expression…
"What's wrong? Did Commander Lin call us?" Li Zhenzhen asked.
"No, not Commander Lin…" Fang Mo hesitated.
"It's Fate Monk."
…
Ten minutes later.
All members of【The Demons】squad arrived outside the Commander-in-Chief's office.
"Previously, whenever tasks were assigned to us, wasn't it always just to Fang Mo alone? Why does everyone need to be present this time?" Liu Jun疑惑开口。
"Maybe this mission is particularly important?"
"Perhaps… We'll find out once we're inside."
The group pushed open the door. A figure in a mud-stained cassock sat behind the desk, looked up at them, and said:
"Everyone's here? Come in."
When Lin Qiye was absent before, Fate Monk had served as acting commander. The【Demons】squad had dealt with him plenty of times. In a sense, Fate Monk was the second commander of the Night Watch headquarters, and he carried quite a bit of authority.
The group entered the office and found a row of chairs neatly arranged in front of the desk.
"Sit." Fate Monk said.
Fang Mo's expression carried a hint of hesitation… Every time he'd reported to Fate Monk before, they'd always stood. Only when meeting Commander Lin would there be a place to sit. Now that Fate Monk had suddenly arranged seats for each of them, it felt rather unfamiliar.
But seeing the other teammates sit down without hesitation, he didn't want to make a fuss, so he sat down as well.
"Did you summon us for something?"
"Yes." Fate Monk nodded slightly. "There's a mission I need your squad to complete… But first, I should warn you—the danger level of this mission is very high."
"Danger level very high?" Fang Mo asked, puzzled. "What exactly is the mission?"
"I need to arrange some things at the Ancestral God Temple, and those things need to be escorted there."
"Escorting something to the Ancestral God Temple?"
Fang Mo considered this, his confusion deepening. "If I remember correctly, the Ancestral God Temple is located right on Great Xia's border… The distance isn't particularly far. Why is it considered so dangerous? What do you want us to escort?"
"People."
"…Who?"
"I'll tell you the specifics privately later." Fate Monk avoided the topic, his gaze slowly sweeping across the members of the【Demons】squad.
"The Demons squad has been established for almost four years now… Your contributions to Great Xia are undeniable. Before you undertake this mission, I want to ask—is there anything left unaccomplished, any wishes you haven't fulfilled?
If there are, speak up. If it's within my power, I'll definitely help you realize them."
