Chapter 893: The Last Time to Question
Night fell.
All members of the Demon-Slaying Legion were discussing this matter during dinner.
They naturally knew about the decision Ling Zhan had made.
They were also thinking about the feasibility of this decision.
But after considering all sorts of scenarios, they still couldn't imagine how it was possible to take down the thousands of strategic positions in just two days.
"This decision is a bit tricky. What exactly does Instructor Ling plan to do?"
"Tch! No matter what Instructor Ling plans, we grunts just follow orders!"
"That may be so, but it's still necessary to think things through and understand, right?"
"Exactly. Even though we just need to follow orders, developing a habit of thinking independently is good."
"So... do you guys think it's possible?"
With that question, the entire mess hall fell silent.
No one spoke.
But the silence itself was the answer.
"Regardless of everything else, with Instructor Ling here, we can certainly take the towers and camps quickly, but there's only one of him."
"Yeah, when it comes to storming towers and camps, we rely heavily on Instructor Ling's long-range piercing kill method!"
"Without Instructor Ling, it's very difficult to take the camps and towers, especially since the towers can transmit information directly to the Lemoris Fortress HQ, which would make things even more troublesome..."
"Sigh! If only Instructor Ling could clone himself!"
Someone suddenly sighed.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yeah!
If there were more Instructor Lings, then taking out all the strategic points around Lemoris Fortress in two days might be possible.
But there was only one Instructor Ling.
So this task seemed impossible.
With that doubt in mind.
After dinner, everyone went to sleep.
The next day.
At six o'clock in the morning.
The sky over the area was still gloomy and dark, without even a trace of morning sunlight.
Well, that made sense...
After all, this was the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, already sunken underground, located between the surface and the center layer of the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss.
The sky here wasn't real but a projection created by a formation barrier.
In fact, this layer of formation barrier was used to resist the void storms.
Don't forget...
When Ling Zhan entered the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss, he had passed through a chaotic void.
That place housed some void-mutated creatures without any consciousness.
And terrifying void storms swept through frequently.
Even the Ten Thousand Demons Race had to set up this protective barrier for defense.
Without sunlight, the entire region felt lifeless and desolate.
Even standing on the warship, one could feel a bone-piercing chill.
Since they hadn't occupied the area, the demonic miasma around remained extremely dense. Even with devices that blocked the miasma, the discomfort still clung to everyone's heart.
Two thousand people.
Gathered on the warship's deck.
They stared seriously at the lone non-specialist figure ahead.
Ling Zhan slowly turned around to face them and said calmly, "Everyone, listen to my command!"
"All two thousand members split up!"
"Except for David, Janna, Alchi, and Elbert, the rest will form squads based on your rankings in the legion!"
"One person per squad! Divide into two thousand squads!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Although the members had no idea what Instructor Ling was planning, they still split into squads at the fastest speed.
"Next, listen carefully to your tasks!"
"You two thousand people will each head to an enemy strategic position!"
"The top two hundred in ranking will directly airdrop onto enemy towers!"
"The rest will go and occupy the enemy's camps!"
Whoa!!
As soon as he said that.
It was like a stone stirred a thousand waves!
The entire legion was utterly shocked!
"This..."
Every member was dumbfounded!
What the hell?
Two thousand people split into two thousand squads…
That meant one person per squad.
And then they were to go occupy camps and towers individually!
One person occupying one camp!?
One person occupying one tower!?
Huh?
Ridiculous!
This was truly beyond absurd!
This time, they were completely baffled.
Even though they understood that military orders were absolute.
And that they had to follow the commander's orders unconditionally.
They still couldn't make sense of this command.
Take yesterday's assault, for example.
The entire legion had mobilized just to take down one tower and the camps surrounding it.
And now Instructor Ling wanted them to take camps alone…
Forget about occupying them.
Whether they could even defeat the Ten Thousand Demons soldiers guarding the camps was still in question!
After all, they were expected to go solo!
Perhaps the powerful elites like Mordes, Ye Qingling, etc., could take on camps alone.
But those who hadn't leveled up enough yet, and hadn't matured in power, would most likely fail.
It was extremely awkward…
This was no different from sending them to die.
David couldn't hold back anymore and finally stepped forward, "Instructor Ling..."
Before he could finish, Ling Zhan calmly raised his hand, signaling him to shut up.
At the same time…
He gave one final cold glance at every member.
"This is the last time I allow you to question me!"
"Also the last time I will explain myself to you!"
"You cannot question your commander's orders just because you're afraid to die!"
"Even if the order seems unreasonable in your eyes!"
"Everyone, follow me to the arena!"
These words.
Were already the last of Ling Zhan's patience.
With the war approaching.
The commander had neither the obligation nor the responsibility to explain every order he gave.
What the soldiers needed to do was just one thing: obey orders unconditionally!
Right now.
Ling Zhan was giving them one final explanation.
If anyone questioned him again, he'd turn the ship around and send all these members back to Mohr Fortress.
He'd handle the rest of the siege battle alone!
The members of the Demon-Slaying Legion looked at Ling Zhan's icy back with apprehension and followed him.
They knew Instructor Ling was truly angry this time.
At the arena.
Ling Zhan turned around coldly and said, "Watch carefully! This is why I dare say I can eliminate all of the enemy's strategic positions within two days!"
As his words fell.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!
White smoke suddenly exploded around Ling Zhan.
And amid the clouds of smoke and everyone's disbelief...
A full two thousand 'Ling Zhans' stood expressionlessly before them, meeting their gaze with equally cold eyes!
Whoa!!
This time, the crowd was truly blown away!
