Chapter 941: Personally Leading the Charge!
Even...
Many of the girls in the Demon-Slaying Legion gazed at Ling Zhan's back with eyes full of admiration.
Quite a few support Professionals had already locked their targets onto Ling Zhan in advance, prepared to cast all sorts of buff skills on him the moment he descended onto the battlefield of the Demonic Valley.
Who was the top DPS and the core pillar of the entire legion? Every member had long since understood the answer.
Especially after the battle at Lemoris Fortress, Ling Zhan's extraordinary combat power had surpassed everyone's imagination, completely winning over all those present.
The new recruits of the Demon-Slaying Legion, such as Li Chaoge, Zhu Yaoguang, and Saint Luni, exchanged glances at this scene, surprised for a moment, but soon understood.
Hm…
As expected of Ling Zhan.
Even the so-called geniuses of the Ten Thousand Demons Continent had been utterly subdued by him.
In fact, even these old friends of his initially thought that this non-specialist wouldn't amount to much.
But in the end, they were completely won over by Ling Zhan's strength and charisma.
So, seeing these so-called prodigies of the Ten Thousand Demons Continent being subdued by Ling Zhan now—it was only natural.
At this moment—
The spatial warship had already traversed a great distance at full speed, arriving at a plain battlefield two thousand kilometers from the Demonic Valley.
It wasn't that they didn't want to advance further.
Rather, there was also a counter-surveillance system in place on the other side of the Demonic Valley.
As the Demon-Slaying Legion observed from afar, the Demonic Valley forces had already sensed their presence as well.
Naturally, the Ten Thousand Demons wouldn't just sit and wait for death—especially knowing that the Demon-Slaying Legion, led by that non-specialist, had arrived on the frontlines.
All the more reason to be on high alert.
By now, the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss regarded this young non-specialist, who had breached Lemoris Fortress and slain the Crimson Phoenix Demon Sovereign, with extreme caution.
In the past, no matter how much those Demon Arrival Organization members talked, these proud Ten Thousand Demons clan members never thought much of this non-specialist.
That was until the Crimson Phoenix Demon Sovereign fell at his hands.
Now, the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss took this non-specialist seriously.
At this moment—
Upon learning that the one leading the attack on their Demonic Valley was none other than the non-specialist Ling Zhan, the seven Demon Sovereigns stationed there immediately issued new orders.
They commanded the entire force of the Demonic Valley to expand their defensive perimeter outward by a thousand kilometers.
The main reason for this was to guard against the enemy using any underhanded tricks again.
It's worth mentioning—
These Demon Sovereigns were quite cunning.
When they ordered their troops to spread out and guard a wider area, they didn't just cluster up in one spot.
Instead, they formed various large and small squares, seemingly scattered but able to quickly support one another if needed.
In a sense, this was quite similar to strategies used in team competitions.
Seemingly loose, but actually closely coordinated.
Of course…
This required a great deal of tacit cooperation between the soldiers.
For this purpose, the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss also utilized an extremely powerful secret technique!
'Ten Thousand Demons Resonance'!
It linked the consciousness of all demon soldiers, demon generals, and even demon emperors together, controlled jointly by the seven Demon Sovereigns.
Normally, these demon soldiers, generals, and emperors could act according to their own wills in battle.
But when it came time to coordinate, they would instantly enter a state of resonance.
With so many demon soldiers, generals, and emperors working in perfect concert, their combat power was truly terrifying.
At the very least…
This put immense pressure on the vanguard, the Amethyst Legion.
Under the methodical assault of these demon soldiers and generals, the Amethyst Legion was already suffering casualties, with multiple battlefronts falling into disadvantage.
Even squads composed of veteran soldiers were forced to retreat step by step, unable to hold out against the enemy's coordinated attacks, and had to fall back to the safety zone behind their own defensive barriers.
"Damn it…"
"These Ten Thousand Demons bastards are really giving us a hard time!"
"Tougher than anything we've fought before!"
"Their coordination is incredible!"
"Not a single gap in their formation—it's almost impossible to find a flaw…"
An old soldier grumbled as he returned to the safe zone.
In such a grand and epic battle, it was impossible to have all forces charge forward at once right from the start.
If you rush in recklessly without any plan or probing, only destruction awaits the Amethyst Legion!
Any experienced commander would know not to make such a foolish mistake!
Krodas and Avina exchanged glances, both with grave expressions.
The Ten Thousand Demons really had pulled off an impressive strategy this time!
The Demon Sovereigns knew that if their demon soldiers and generals fought individually, they'd just be cannon fodder.
Additionally…
The Ten Thousand Demons Abyss also had elite legions.
But they wouldn't commit them just yet.
Still, this strategy of linking all their soldiers' consciousness was already giving the Amethyst Legion a major headache.
With all sorts of buffs instantly shared among the demon soldiers and generals, there was no need for words or even glances—due to the shared awareness, they knew exactly what their teammates needed, and could instantly fill any gaps in buffs.
They could also protect their teammates much more effectively.
Now the entire Ten Thousand Demons army was as solid as iron.
After forcing the Amethyst Legion to retreat, the demon soldiers and generals stopped their pursuit as a group.
Clearly, they were also very wary of Ling Zhan's presence.
No one knew if, by chasing after them, they'd fall into one of the non-specialist's traps.
"Go and consult Commander Ling Zhan."
"Ask him what we should do next."
Krodas wasn't arrogant enough to think he could solve such a difficult problem himself.
He immediately chose to seek Ling Zhan's advice.
His father had always told him: On the battlefield, before making any decision, you must consult this non-specialist.
Only act after receiving his approval.
Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!
Krodas kept this lesson firmly in mind.
"Commander Ling Zhan has already given his orders!"
"He said he'll take action personally in a moment!"
At this time, the adjutant in charge of delivering orders spoke up, leaving everyone at the scene stunned.
What?
The commander is personally going into battle right from the start!?
This…
As the saying goes—
A noble son does not sit under a dangerous roof.
For an army, the commander is a stabilizing force, the pillar of the troops.
Usually, the commander wouldn't step onto the battlefield lightly.
Because if something happens to the commander, it would be a huge blow to morale.
Just like now—
Even though the seven Demon Sovereigns were stationed in the Demonic Valley, none of them had shown their faces. They were using their underlings to probe the enemy instead.
They feared being caught off guard by the non-specialist at the very beginning.
No one expected Ling Zhan to personally enter the fray right from the start!
"Alright! When the time comes, my Amethyst Legion will charge alongside Commander Ling Zhan!"
Krodas gritted his teeth and declared.
However, the adjutant shook his head and said, "General Krodas, Commander Ling Zhan said that in a moment, all we need to do is stay in reserve at the rear and wait for his orders. For the rest of the time, we should just sit back and watch the show."
Krodas: "…"
Avina: "…"
