The sound echoed within the tent.
As he whispered these words, A Bao's excitement was even more evident on his face.
He was excited, Long Haoyu was equally excited.
Watching his teammates train so hard, it took him a while to calm down.
Controlling his excitement, just as he was preparing for the uncertainties of the future, Gao Yingjie arrived at their tent.
" Haoyu, come out with me!"
Gao Yingjie's voice was a little deep. "No need to wake them up, just come with me alone!"
Long Haoyu was slightly surprised, as Team Leader Gao Yingjie usually wouldn't take the initiative to find them unless there were special circumstances.
Their sudden appearance at our door feels very strange.
Without hesitation, Long Haoyu followed Gao Yingjie Gao Yingjie to a relatively open area outside the camp.
Unlike inside the camp, although there were still patrolling soldiers, they were not as numerous, making it a good place to have a conversation.
" Team Leader, what can I do for you?" Long Haoyu asked in a deep voice.
Gao Yingjie hummed in agreement. "There are some things I need to discuss with you regarding your recent encounter with the Demon Race Clan's commander."
Upon hearing this, Long Haoyu's expression immediately turned serious. " Team Leader, has that Demon Commander made his move again?"
"No!"
Gao Yingjie denied it, saying, "Your battle with that Demon Commander, and the fact that he specifically sought you out, confirms your previous guess that he was indeed targeting you and Haochen."
"Given the nature of the Demon Race, if they have their eyes on you and Haochen, then your encounters in this mission are just an appetizer. They will definitely not let this go."
"Therefore, please be extra careful in the following missions. Although I will be traveling with you, you and Haochen should also pay more attention to yourselves and try to nip all possibilities in the bud."
Long Haoyu nodded solemnly. In fact, he didn't even need Gao Yingjie to remind him; he already knew very well that he needed to pay attention to this.
Neither Gao Yingjie nor Saint Moon knew A Bao First Heir of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan, as well as he did.
If the other party were someone who would give up easily, they would not have become the First Heir the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan. A single defeat is not enough to make them give up completely.
" Team Leader, please don't worry!"
" Haochen and I will definitely be extra careful here and nip any danger in the bud."
Long Haoyu reassured and responded, which, while not necessarily effective, at least put Gao Yingjie, the Team Leader, at ease for the time being.
Gao Yingjie patted Long Haoyu heavily on the shoulder, and just as he opened his mouth to continue talking, a scout suddenly trotted over.
"Greetings, Sacred Temple Knight!"
The scout, also a knight, saluted Gao Yingjie and immediately said, " Sacred Temple Knight, the Knight Errant has ordered that you take the captain of the First Battalion of the Sacred Temple Knight Guard Team to the Military Department for a meeting!"
Gao Yingjie frowned immediately, and looking suspiciously toward the Military Department after hearing the scout's report.
After a moment's hesitation, he grabbed Long Haoyu's shoulder and sped off toward the Military Department headquarters.
Gao Yingjie was very fast, and the Team Leader of the other Demon Hunt Squad were not slow either. When Long Haoyu and his group arrived at the Military Department, the Captain of the other nine Demon Hunt Squad were already in place, as were their respective Team Leader.
Just like Gao Yingjie's expression at this moment, the Team Leader of the other nine Demon Hunt Squad all showed some surprise in their eyes.
Since they were all in the same boat, Gao Yingjie gave up on getting the answer from the others and headed straight into the Military Department headquarters.
Just as solemn as during the previous emergency meeting, Saint Moon sat in his designated seat, his expression extremely grave.
He looked at each person entering with a very serious expression, giving off an unsmiling demeanor.
After everyone was seated, he spoke in a deep voice:
"I have summoned you all here suddenly because I have important matters to arrange!"
"The events that happened to the Rank 1 Demon Hunt Squad during the previous Military Mission Number One No. 1 are known to all the Demon Hunt Squad and your Team Leader."
"Therefore, regarding this matter, after discussions with many senior executives, we have decided to change the previous arrangements, effective from this very moment—"
"All members of the Demon Hunt Squad are forbidden from leaving the Demon Extermination Pass!!"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire venue immediately fell silent.
Long Haoyu fell silent, as did all the other Captain of the Demon Hunt Squad, including Gao Yingjie and the other ten Team Leader.
Long Haoyu was quite surprised; he hadn't expected Saint Moon to make such a final decision.
I vaguely remember that during the last emergency meeting, Saint Moon talked about countermeasures and also mentioned training their many Demon Hunt Squad to hone their skills and overcome hardships.
However, not long has passed, yet the original decision has been completely overturned and changed back to its current form.
All members of the ten Demon Hunt Squad are forbidden from leaving the Demon Extermination Pass, which is clearly the idea in the initial discussions to protect these so-called 'young elites'.
However, after learning about Saint Moon's final decision, Long Haoyu's initial surprise began to lessen, and he began to guess what Saint Moon's considerations were in making this arrangement.
His Rank 1 Demon Hunt Squad had already been attacked and killed by the Demon Commander, A Bao, so other Demon Hunt Squad were very likely to encounter the same thing.
Even if the possibility is extremely small, it must still be taken into account, otherwise it would be like sending the Demon Hunt Squad to their deaths on purpose.
Most importantly, there's the question of the identities of the many members of their Rank 1 Demon Hunt Squad No. 1.
Two Child of Light, one Reincarnation Saintess, and one Chaos Physique —this lineup allows Saint Moon no room for carelessness.
If even one or two demons are lost outside the Demon Extermination Pass, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Although such an arrangement could indeed provide great protection, Long Haoyu did not believe that it could truly develop as Saint Moon wished.
Staying indoors is one option.
But even if you don't go out, you'll still encounter other things.
The current situation is one that cannot be resolved by simply running away.
A Bao, his maternal uncle, is never one to be trifled with!
After this defeat, and after confirming that he possessed the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan Bloodline,
Next time, they will surely launch an even more terrifying offensive!
Even if they 'escape' within the Demon Extermination Pass, in the end they can only—
There's no way to avoid it!
