Coming Along as Cannon Fodder

General Takagi, a man who had weathered many storms, knew that the threshold for befriending Su Lu was high. But since he had already come, it meant he had thought it through. Besides, what beneficial thing is without risk?

If you want your career to go higher and further, you will eventually have to make the necessary sacrifices!

After making the promise, Takagi returned.

"Miss Chika, I'm really sorry, but this important person wants you to come with me... As you know, this matter seems to be very important to him, and he can't afford to fail." After Takagi returned, he subtly threatened him.

He wanted Mochizuki Chihiro and Tang Miao to come and work with him.

Clearly, even if their fates were uncertain, he was determined to drag them down with him.

Mochizuki Chihiro sneered, "I wonder if this is the intention of some important figure, or General Takagi?"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Takagi smiled, showing no intention of replying.

However, they were originally going to follow in each other's footsteps anyway.

After all, they didn't know much about this place.

If there's any real danger, they can simply run away.

With his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to lead them away.

As long as Su Lu isn't watching him!

The group then began to move forward, bringing the total number of people, including Su Lu's, to a total of one hundred and fifty or sixty. Among them, besides Su Lu himself, who possessed the forbidden spell, there were five other mages who had mastered all four elemental magics to the highest level.

The remaining fifteen or sixteen Super Level Mage, along with Takagi, Mochizuki Chihiro, Tang Miao, and Mu Bai, make up a total of over a hundred Advanced Mage.

This lineup already places them among the top teams.

After traveling for about half a day, the temperature along the road ahead began to rise without anyone noticing.

This is the outer boundary of the continuous volcanoes.

Come to think of it, I've somehow gotten involved with volcanic areas...

I often visit places with continuous volcanoes in China, and it turns out that this is also a region with continuous volcanoes abroad. However, I wonder if the volcanoes here are larger than those in northern Scorching Plains?

Before they even entered, there were more than a dozen Wind Element mages leading the way.

Since it's a Demon Beast empire, walking in so openly would mean they could forget about setting up totems; they'd have enough lesser demons to kill.

"Could there really be Totem Beast in a place like this? And from our country at that?" Mu Bai wiped the sweat from his brow and asked Tang Miao in a low voice.

"This kind of place is indeed suitable for Totem Beast to live in, but whether it's from our country or not, I don't know. After all, I haven't seen any myself," Tang Miao replied.

If Totem Beast doesn't want to befriend humans, it will naturally choose a place that doesn't welcome humans.

"How did our country's Totem Beast end up in a place like this?" Shao Yu said, quite puzzled.

"How would I know?" Tang Miao shrugged.

He's not a god, how could he know everything so clearly?

Mochizuki Chihiro snorted and said, "Perhaps it's your territory that they dislike, who knows?"

Clearly, the haughty girl who had learned their Mandarin expressed her dissatisfaction with what Mu Bai and Shao Yu said.

"Maybe it simply wants to come here to build its own power base, and eventually even take over this place," Tang Miao added.

"Stop!"

Just then, it seemed that a Sound Mage was appearing ahead, and his voice reached everyone's ears.

They were at the very back of the group, and upon hearing the instructions from ahead, they all looked over.

Before them, the volcanoes were covered with Blazing Hellbird!

On this vast expanse of volcanoes, almost every one has hundreds, nearly a thousand, and what's most absurd is that they seem to have no beginning or end...

Just looking at them, there were already tens of thousands of them, and no one knew how many more there were.

After thinking for a moment, Su Lu instructed Takagi to send a few mages to create some noise and lure the birds away.

The mages who were dispatched were naturally all subordinates brought by Takagi.

They initially thought Takagi was going to help them get promoted and make money. Who knew they'd end up being cannon fodder!

At this moment, almost all the chosen mages harbored intense resentment towards Takagi.

However, they dared not disobey. Not to mention Takagi, even the man who made Takagi tremble with fear made them dare not question the order in any way.

After more than a dozen Advanced Mage left, they began bombarding the sleeping Blazing Hellbird with magic...

"Gagaga~~!!"

"Gagaga~~!!"

As they attacked, the firebirds, who had been fast asleep, were instantly awakened. Of course, what woke them most were the cries of their companions.

However, this debt obviously couldn't be attributed to their companions, so they immediately charged straight after the dozen Advanced Mage who were running wildly.

The Feather Demon were incredibly fast. Although the Advanced Mage unleashed a wave of bombs and began to flee, the firebirds, having blotted out the sky, caught up with them in just over ten minutes.

Although they were all Advanced Mage, and among the best of the ordinary Advanced Mage, they were quickly torn to pieces by the combined attack of tens of thousands of firebirds in such a short time...

After they made a noise and lured the firebirds away, Su Lu ordered everyone to advance at full speed.

However, the place was simply too vast, and not all the firebirds flew away at once; some remained on the mountain, looking completely bewildered and unaware of what was happening.

At this point, it was impossible to rely on anyone to distract them, so everyone joined forces to slaughter these powerful Feather Demon.

Although there were still several thousand left, the two strongest among them were only commanders, and the battle was over in less than five minutes.

Su Lu frowned and said, "Speed up and head straight for the central volcanic area."

He hadn't expected that, despite having enough manpower, the sheer number of people meant they'd run into such trouble just as they reached the edge of the area.

The elemental magical aura was so intense just now; the nearby Demon Beast must have sensed it. If they were to truly alarm the demons of this Volcanic Islands, they would indeed exhaust their magical energy and die!

After all, there are just far too many Demon Beast here...

The reason Su Lu didn't make a move the last time he came was precisely because the number of participants was truly astonishing. He could have actually summoned even more people. However, the chief election for this year is about to begin, and he doesn't have time to wait.

He needs a powerful partner to join him in order to stabilize his position!
