Chapter 344 Knocking on Zhu Meng's Bamboo Bar
Seeing that many people were interested, Military Commander Lu Xu quickly seized the opportunity to explain the details of the plan.
"Gentlemen, this operation is meticulously planned."
"If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't spare any troops to maintain the necessary defenses along the entire northern city wall, we wouldn't have issued four summons to ask everyone to come and provide support."
"But don't worry, everyone. What you're dealing with isn't a commander-level creature, nor is it a horde of warrior-level undead. What you need to do is ensure that the light-based magic array can be activated normally and eliminate those White Yin Ghosts that are interfering with your mind and spirit in one go."
As soon as Military Commander Lu Xu finished speaking, a retired mage stepped forward and said, "If Councilor Zhu Meng can lead by example, how can we back down?"
"Behind this city wall is the city, where my parents, wife, and children live. So I'm the only one in charge of the liquidation, because I don't trust anyone else with such a difficult task." A hunter mage with a scarred face stepped forward with equal courage.
Besides the hunter mages and the guard mages, the most enthusiastic students are the students of the Ancient Capital Academy. Fighting alongside super-level mages is incredibly easy for them, and they can also earn a lot of credits. How could they not be enthusiastic?
When the team leader, Zhong Zishan, turned his attention to the group of students he was leading, he was surprised to find that Jiang Li, who wanted to make a name for himself, and others with a strong sense of justice had already joined in.
However, not everyone was willing to go out and take risks. A handsome young man in the group did not take the initiative to join. The leader knew that he did not want to take risks, but Zhong Zishan did not force him and let him leave the city.
Zhong Zishan stayed behind to join the operation because he had promised Zhou Min and the others' mentor that he would protect them.
When Zhong Zishan and the others turned their attention to Mo Fan and Jiang Han, Mo Fan shrugged and said quite directly.
"Don't look at us, we're just here for vacation, so have a safe trip."
"No way, you're really leaving?" Zhou Min turned to look at Jiang Han, hoping he would say something different from what Mo Fan said.
However, Jiang Han did not answer Zhou Min's question. Instead, he turned and walked towards Zhu Meng and the others at the steps outside the hall. Zhou Min, Mu Bai, and Mo Fan all looked at Jiang Han with suspicion, wondering what he was going to do.
However, Mo Fan had a bad feeling. He felt that Jiang Han was digging a pit for him, and a very deep one at that. If he didn't run away as soon as possible, he would have no chance at all.
Upon noticing Jiang Han's arrival, Zhu Meng raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Jiang family brat, let me tell you, if you're thinking of running away, after this battle is over, I'll send a letter to Mingzhu Academy and have the principal expel you from the school."
"If you really want to do that, I'll have to tell the old man that you're bullying the weak," Jiang Han retorted with a smile.
Zhu Meng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Jiang. If he wasn't afraid that the old man of the Jiang family would really settle scores with him later, he would have slapped him long ago.
"Councilor Zhu Meng, who is he?" Du Xiao Lie Wang looked at the somewhat familiar silver-haired youth next to Zhu Meng with a puzzled expression.
"Hmph, who else could it be but the brat from the Jiang family of Xingcheng?" Zhu Meng sneered.
"Young man, haven't we met somewhere before?" said Du Xiao Lie Wang.
"Yes, the Scaled Demon Mother of Pearl Academy," Jiang Han reminded her.
"I was wondering why you looked familiar, young man. Oh, it's from that time at Pearl Academy. By the way, are you really planning to leave now?" Du Xiao Lie Wang asked with a smile.
"Old man Zhu, I'm certainly not the kind of person who runs away at the first sign of trouble, but you can't just make the horse run without feeding it," Jiang Han said.
"What do you want, kid?" Zhu Meng said irritably.
"I'm not the kind of person who would ask for an exorbitant amount, so just give me a few Star River Veins," Jiang Han said with a smile.
"Is this not asking for the moon? A few Star River Veins are impossible, two at most," Zhu Meng said.
"Old man Zhu, don't feel like you're losing out. I'll bring my brother along later. Think about it, two Star River Veins attracting a significant boost—is that a loss? That's a huge gain!" Jiang Han said.
"Get out of my way, and don't get in my way. Just remember not to die here, or your old man will come looking for trouble." Zhu Meng said impatiently.
When Zhu Meng saw Mo Fan almost reaching the entrance of the building, he was instantly enraged. Pointing at Mo Fan who was about to slip away, he shouted angrily, "Mo Fan, you brat, don't you dare try to run away! If you dare to leave today, I'll write a letter to Dean Xiao when we get back and have him expelled!"
I can't handle Jiang Han, and I can't handle Mo Fan either, but Zhu Meng won't back down just because he's not going to back down.
"Damn it, I knew Jiang Han was up to no good," Mo Fan cursed inwardly.
After extorting—or rather, discussing the plan—from Zhu Meng, Jiang Han smiled and returned to Zhou Min and the others.
Mo Fan ran back cursing and pointed at Jiang Han, saying, "Jiang Han, you son of a bitch, you really have no conscience trying to drag me down with you!"
"My uncle seems to be a fully-trained mage with mastery of all three elemental magic types, are you sure?" Jiang Han asked.
"Get lost!!" Mo Fan said angrily.
"With me protecting you, you definitely won't die easily," Jiang Han said.
Mo Fan ultimately stayed behind against his will. He would never have stayed if it weren't for the chance to obtain the essence or fragments of the soul.
On the other side, after Zhu Meng and the others had deployed their strategy, Military Commander Lu Xu said to everyone: "High-level mages are responsible for keeping the commander-level undead occupied. There are many undead ministers around the Ghost Tyrant. Remember, you must not fight them to the death. What you need to do is hold them off."
Currently, there are only six high-level mages gathered on the city wall. Excluding the existing high-level mages responsible for guarding the city wall, there are no more than 20 high-level mages who can be mobilized this time. As for the remaining high-level mages, they will continue to guard the city wall to prevent other undead from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
There were significantly more mid-level mages than high-level mages, and together with the guard mages who went out, there were more than 200 people in total. Their job was to cover and disperse the undead army.
