Chapter 548 - 273: Military Big Shot_2
Supreme Commander Xi Che’s gaze swept over him and he smiled, "Tell me, how did you manage to do it? You should know, you’ve essentially stirred up a hornet’s nest this time. This wraith legion attacked for nearly ten hours before they retreated."
Long Dangdang shivered a bit and replied, "Reporting to the Commander, we had not been at the front lines for long when we accepted a task from the demon hunting team. We then investigated the area where the wraith entities were located. During our first investigation, we discovered an area where many wraith entities were gathered. When we went further to investigate, we were attacked by high-ranking opponents and had to use a Teleportation Scroll to retreat back to our base. After regrouping, we undertook a second investigation and located our target - the valley we previously identified with a large concentration of wraith entities. We cast an 8th Rank Forbidden Spell, Berserk Elementals. I have a spirit furnace that can release delayed spell effects. After casting the forbidden spell into the valley, we once again retreated using a teleportation scroll. We have been resting ever since we returned. Only today when Supervisor Yann informed us did we realize that we had provoked an attack by the wraith legion."
Hearing him casually admit to releasing a Forbidden Spell in the valley where the wraith entities were stationed, the military leaders could not help but admire him. An 8th Rank Forbidden Spell is not something even a 9th Rank powerful expert could release easily. Moreover, they managed to do so without being spotted by the wraith entities, successfully executing the spell. They were well aware of Long Dangdang’s profile, which had already been placed on their table. Not yet seventeen years old, one of the top three in the demon hunting team selection, proficient in both knighthood and magic - he could no longer be assessed by normal standards.
Listening to Long Dangdang’s succinct yet respectable answer, Xi Che gave a slight nod, saying, "Are you aware that the scale and intensity of this attack from the wraith legion is unprecedented, with over ten 9th Rank wraith entities appearing, some of which we had never seen before? After casting the Forbidden Spell, did you notice if you killed any important figures within the wraith legion?"
Long Dangdang shook his head, saying, "Not likely. Our Forbidden Spell is not yet perfect, its power should be limited. Its lethality against 7th Rank and above wraith entities wouldn’t be too strong."
Xi Che gave Long Dangdang a meaningful look, then turned to the others and said, "Everyone, please go and rest. I wish to have a private conversation with this young man."
The military higher-ups paid him their respect before exiting the tent. Before leaving, the young girl gave Long Dangdang a few more curious glances.
"Go on," Xi Che said to the young girl with a playful chide. The girl puckered her lips at him in defiance before finally leaving. From the slight similarities in their faces, it was apparent that this young girl shared a personal connection with the commander.
Xi Che turned to Yann Xingci, "Xingci, you go ahead too."
