Refused to Join the Group

"It seems we have no choice but to proceed with our previously drafted plan," Zhu Meng said, frowning.

Although they intended to withdraw to defend the inner city, it now appears that the Decapitation Plan still needs to be carried out.

Only by doing so can we buy enough time to relocate people from the outer city areas.

Most importantly, Zhu Meng was genuinely worried that this was just the beginning, and that this battle would continue indefinitely after tonight...

"Sir, this is far too dangerous. We could easily get trapped among the Undead Legion," the advisor beside him said with some concern.

"Staff Officer Zhu, in the city where I, Zhu Meng, will never allow a single Demon Beast to cause trouble. We do not have enough troops to resist this large-scale gathering of the undead, but we have the opportunity to kill this Undead Monarch!" Zhu Meng replied with righteous indignation.

Zhu Meng's supreme position in the entire National Magic Association is not due to the number of powerful families he controls, nor to the number of forces secretly supporting him, but rather because whenever a potential threat arises, this councilor always takes the lead. This is something that the other councilors, who have long been corrupted and merely engage in empty talk from their high-ranking Speaker, cannot do.

This courage and determination are what made him who he is today!

Similarly, it was for this reason that Tang Miao didn't hold the matter in Hangzhou against him.

"No, this absolutely won't do! If you all fail, who will command the North City Wall? That could easily lead to chaos..."

Staff Officer Zhu might be a bit timid, but his concerns weren't unfounded. After all, this was a battle against an undead army...

"Then what methods do you have to stop the Ghost Tyrant's offensive?" Zhu Meng countered.

"How about I join?"

Just as Staff Officer Zhu speak, a man with sword-like eyebrows, dressed in a black long-haired veil, stepped out from among the many assembled mages, wearing a calm yet confident smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked over, especially the members of the Hunter's Alliance, who seemed to recognize the person at a glance and all showed expressions of surprise.

The newcomer was none other than the Hunter King Du Xiao.

At this moment, Tang Miao also spoke up, "I can help hunt down the Ghost Tyrant."

Tang Miao's sudden words left the several bigwigs present, including the newly arrived Hunter King Du Xiao, puzzled.

At that moment, everyone present had only one thought in their minds... "Is this kid an idiot?"

Zhu Meng was the first to speak up, scolding, "Nonsense! Even if you're exceptionally talented, you're still just a student. Without that snake, how can you help?"

Tang Miao shrugged and said, "Losing the Dark Serpent doesn't mean I'm useless. Besides, who told you I'm Intermediate Mage? Go ahead, let me go. I can guarantee you won't lose any limbs. If you don't believe me, then forget it."

Tang Miao went to help simply because he didn't want these guys to get hurt. After all, an even bigger war awaited them...

But if they didn't believe him, he naturally didn't bother to explain anything.

I should go help them myself; I can't exactly beg them, can I?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng was taken aback, then pulled Tang Miao aside. "Kid, do you have some hidden cards up your sleeve? Do you have a way to summon the Dark Serpent?"

Tang Miao shook his head and replied, "It can't be summoned..."

"Then why are you making things worse!" Zhu Meng roared upon hearing this.

Tang Miao's lips twitched slightly. Although he really wanted to help, Zhu Meng didn't trust him... Although he wasn't Super Level Mage, his current Lightning Magic's destructive energy was definitely enough to harm him!

While Zhu Meng was reprimanding Tang Miao, several Super Level Mages had already begun formulating their plans.

"The Ghost Tyrant is surrounded by a group of Bone General, Corpse General, and Ghost General. The Bone General and Corpse General are like cockroaches blocking our way; we can just step over them. But if the White Yin Ghost, commanded by the Ghost Minister, are numerous, they will cause us a great Mind Shock. If I'm not confused, none of us here are trained in Mind Element, are we?" Military Commander Lu Xu said.

"This is the biggest obstacle to our killing of the Ghost Tyrant. We must eliminate it no matter what. It was the most difficult task in our original plan, but..." Zhu Meng stroked his beard as he spoke, paused, turned around, and glanced at the forty-odd mages who were still at his disposal.

He then said, "I apologize, everyone, but the situation is now far more serious than we just described. I need your assistance in slaying the Ghost Tyrant. Of course, the Ghost Tyrant will be dealt with by us Super Level Mage. Your task is to clear away our biggest obstacle: the White Ghost Minister and its White Yin Ghost Swarm!"

Seeing everyone's silence, Tang Miao curled his lip and spoke first, "Those obstacles are easy to clear. Seriously, is there anyone else willing to take the initiative?"

"Councilor Zhu Meng is leading by example, and this young man is so courageous, how can we, who have lived most of our lives, back down?" Soon, a tough-minded retired Military Mage stepped forward.

"Behind this city wall lies the city, where my parents, wife, and children live... So please count me in. I don't trust anyone else with such a difficult task." A Hunter Mage with a scar on his face stepped forward with great courage.

After Tang Miao stepped forward, one after another, they stepped forward.

After they stepped forward, the Military Commander arranged for some Advanced Mage to join them.

In addition to Tang Miao and the other Intermediate Mage who were summoned, there were nearly two hundred Military Mage assisting in this operation.

Throughout, Tang Miao was classified as an Intermediate Mage.

Unfortunately, Tang Miao awakened his magic on his own, and he never liked wearing any symbols. As a result, no one knew that he was already an Advanced Mage.

Tang Miao didn't bother to explain. Actually, he was more interested in facing these Monarch Level than fighting Commander Level ones.

After all, Commander Level opponent is no match for him! Especially since it's nighttime, he doesn't even need to lift a finger; Little Black and his eldest daughter alone are enough to carve a bloody path through the enemy lines.

After the strategic plan was finalized, Zhu Meng turned to look at Demon Man, Du Xiao's helper, and said to him, "Demon Man, you will lead this group of assembled mages. Make sure the Light Mage Corps is not attacked by any undead before the magic array is completed."

"No problem!" the Demon Man replied with a smile and a bow.

After agreeing, the Demon Man began counting the number of people.

He was quite prestigious among the Hunter Mage, and the hunters were all willing to follow his orders. Since most of those gathered this time were Hunter Mage, the remaining students, association members, and mages without specific factions knew that he was Advanced Mage, so of course they wouldn't have any objections.

Of course, he was also quite curious about Tang Miao. After all, most people's first reaction to challenging a monarch would be to refuse!

But this kid, of all people, actually asked for it himself?

The Demon Man didn't think Tang Miao was just showing off. After all, who would risk their life to show off for no reason?

However, this was also something the Demon Man couldn't understand at all. How dare Tang Miao, a mere Intermediate Mage, do such a thing?

He naturally knew something about the Dark Serpent in Hangzhou. Although ordinary people didn't know about the Dark Serpent and Tang Miao, people like them still had some sources of information. That Dark Serpent, one of the best among the Monarch Level, would listen to him!

Anyone who can command a Monarch Level Great Serpent must possess some extraordinary abilities.

After counting the number of people, the Demon Man said to everyone, "Next, I appoint Tang Miao as the deputy captain of this operation."

Upon hearing this, some of the Hunter Mage expressed their dissatisfaction.

While they admired Tang Miao's courage and fearless madness, did that mean he could command them?
