Chapter 519: Precise Targeting
"Ah! If only we could bring this kid into our corps, that would be amazing!"
A female general couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't even think about it. Right now, the Dragon Kingdom treats this non-specialist like a treasure."
"Before this, have you ever seen anyone who was a first-timer on the battlefield become the captain of a special squad? Not at all!"
"Ling Zhan is the first exception!"
Another general said with a laugh.
As everyone knows.
All of the reserve squads' captains are usually senior members in their final year.
And those in their final year have already spent a considerable amount of time on the battlefield during their junior year, just like those little rookies who have just recently come to the battlefield.
These juniors, who are now rookies, won't be rookies in another year.
And Ling Zhan was indeed the very first one in history to become a captain without ever having set foot on the battlefield before.
Even Li Chaoge, the pride of the heavens, had to train here for more than two months before becoming a squad captain.
This so-called 'squad captain' is actually the position responsible for managing all junior members of the squad.
In terms of authority, it's not even equivalent to a vice-captain.
"If you really want this kid to join your corps, you could use the honey trap."
"After all, you're not bad looking yourself."
Another general joked.
The female general indeed had a curvy, alluring figure, akin to a ripe peach, making people feel an urge to take a bite.
"Get lost!"
The female general glared, scolding.
But soon, she smiled and said, "If such a promising young talent could be won over with the honey trap, I really wouldn't mind using it."
"But as you've seen, this kid simply isn't interested in such things."
"In fact, there are quite a few girls in our reserve squads who have crushes on him, especially since this guy recently took on the role of mentor for the reserve squad members."
"Well, it's only natural—strong, handsome, and cool—which girl wouldn't like that?"
The other generals nodded in agreement.
It could only be said that this person was so outstanding that even these generals admired him.
"Alright, enough talking, let's hurry and assist the southeastern area of Hakata City!"
"That's where the main enemy force is!"
"Yes!"
...
...
After easily completing the task.
Ling Zhan naturally used his communicator to inform the various reserve squads of the next steps.
The higher-ups ordered Ling Zhan to lead his squad in free operations.
The spatial relay station had already been repaired, which was sufficient to transport the main forces of the various national armies.
And the sky Ghost Generals on the enemy's side would naturally be dealt with by those of fourth tier rank or higher.
As for the remaining ghost slave army, it was naturally the task of the main forces.
The reserve squads didn't need to join the main battle; instead, they were to move freely, clearing out the ghost slave monsters wandering Hakata City and the lingering Demon Arrival remnants hidden within.
"Captain, all the innocent civilians in this area have been escorted to the safe zone. What should we do next?"
Zhou Xue'er asked.
"Transfer the civilians from other areas to safe zones as well. Each squad should start thoroughly checking their assigned area. Any Demon Arrival remnants found—kill them on sight!"
Ling Zhan calmly issued his orders.
For the Demon Arrival remnants—those beasts who had completely lost their humanity—there was no need for any mercy.
Besides…
Even if mercy were given to them, they would never change, for their minds had already been completely brainwashed.
Upon hearing the orders, the captains of each squad responded with resolve.
And Ling Zhan…
He had already closed his eyes, his mysterious spiritual sense slowly spreading out.
Zhou Xue'er didn't dare disturb her cold captain, much less ask what he was doing.
After sensing for nearly half a minute.
Ling Zhan finally opened his eyes and calmly said, "In the eastern corner of this area, there's an abandoned well. Below it, there's a basement where 120 Demon Arrival remnants are hiding. Zhou Xue'er, lead the team to check it out immediately!"
As soon as he said this.
Wow!!
The squad members standing by couldn't help but exclaim.
This...
What was going on now?
How did Captain Ling know?
"Are your ears deaf? Didn't you hear me?"
Seeing Zhou Xue'er also stunned, Ling Zhan frowned at her.
"Yes!!"
Facing Ling Zhan's cold gaze, Zhou Xue'er shivered, quickly nodded, and turned to lead the team.
Although she didn't know how accurate the coordinates were.
She had an instinctive feeling that if Captain Ling said there was something there, then there definitely was!
Seeing Zhou Xue'er lead the team away, Ling Zhan also rushed to the next area without delay.
The reason he could sense so clearly was because he detected the poor-quality ghostic aura flowing from them.
Don't forget…
Ling Zhan had the blood of the Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts flowing through his veins.
And most importantly, as the rank of the Demon Arrival remnants increased, the potency of their poor-quality ghostic blood also increased.
In the end, they couldn't hide the foul, pungent aura that was about to overflow.
The Demon Arrival Organization did have corresponding concealment spells.
But sorry.
In the presence of Ling Zhan's bloodline of the Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts, as long as it was within a certain range, nothing could hide.
All Ling Zhan needed to do was activate his 'Eyes of Ten Thousand Ghosts' eye technique, along with letting the Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts' bloodline within him boil, and he could accurately detect the aura of the Demon Arrival remnants within a certain range.
Hmm…
This was essentially an extremely precise radar system.
And it was proven that this radar system was truly formidable.
Just ten minutes later.
The communicator buzzed with Zhou Xue'er's astonished voice.
"Report, Captain Ling! All 120 Demon Arrival remnants have been eliminated!"
Ling Zhan merely acknowledged with a grunt.
Then, with a cold expression, he continued to report locations.
"In the west part of this area, at coordinates 333, 211, in the basement of a building, there are 300 Demon Arrival remnants."
"In the northwest part of this area, at coordinates 111, 876, there's an office building. Everyone hiding inside is a Demon Arrival remnant!"
"Additionally…"
"Captain of the Twelfth Squad of the Duchy of Rhine, listen up!"
"In the district you are responsible for, at coordinates 511, 662, there's a restaurant. All the staff members there are Demon Arrival remnants. Remember to also search the basement."
"These beasts love doing their dirty work in basements!"
"…"
As Ling Zhan issued these cold and calm orders one after another.
The captains of the reserve squads from all countries responded with determination, without the slightest doubt, immediately leading their teams to thoroughly search the coordinates given by Ling Zhan!
