Chapter 142: Joined the Combat Team

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

After sending Xu Dahai’s mother and sister into the bomb shelter, Lugh followed Xu Dahai to the square of Termite Town.

By the time they arrived, there were already more than ten people gathered in the square!

Meka was also in the team. When he saw Lugh and Xu Dahai, he even greeted them excitedly.

Among the more than ten people, eight of them were young Beast Masters, the patrol team members of Termite Town. The last time Lugh saw Jack, he was also there.

Jack was the leader of the patrol team.

Jack said loudly, “This is an urgent matter, so I’ll make it short. Just now, the Imperial Capital sent an urgent message, asking us to sound the air-defense alarm. A large number of Demonized Bats have just invaded Star Ocean City in the south. Star Ocean City has suffered heavy losses!”

“According to the intelligence, most of the Demonized Bats have flown towards the Imperial Capital, and they will definitely pass by Termite Town!”

The world was in a flood. In such a situation, the United States would be doing business for a period of time.

Most of the beasts that were in a flood were not very strong. They were usually Black Iron-Grade beasts, such as Demonized Sparrows, Demonized Bats, Fog Birds, Black Plague Rats, Soul-Eating Ants, Bloodthirsty Locusts…

In terms of individual strength, they were indeed not that strong.

However, one mustn’t think that the destructive power of these individually weak Black Iron-Grade Fierce Beasts wasn’t that great. Once they formed a group and came in large numbers, they would possess the ability to destroy a city.

Once the level-1 alarm sounded, it meant that a large city was likely to be destroyed.

When the level-2 alarm sounded, it proved that the situation was already very serious.

“Our mission is to take advantage of the fact that the Demonized Bats haven’t arrived yet to help the townspeople who are going out to return to the town. When the Demonized Bats appear, we will defend against the invasion of the Demonized Bats. Do you understand?”

“Understood!”

Jack looked at the eight young Beast Masters solemnly. “The eight of you, report the name and strength of your Divine Beast so that I can arrange the mission!”

“Allen, Divine Beast Violent Crocodile, Middle-Grade Black Iron, water attribute!”

“Gaia, Divine Beast Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, Low-Grade Black Iron, wind attribute!”

“Zuo Fei, Divine Beast Wind Chasing Leopard, High-Grade Black Iron, wind attribute!”

…

“Xu Dahai, Divine Beast Light Wind Wolf, Low-Grade Black Iron, wind attribute!”

“Lugh, Divine Beast Stormhawk, Top-Grade Black Iron, gold and wind attributes!”

As soon as Lugh finished his words, all the Beast Masters in the square looked at Lugh in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.

There were only a few Beast Masters in the town. They were not familiar with Lugh, and it was their first time seeing Lugh.

However, Lugh did not look old. He should be a recent freshman.

The freshmen only awakened Divine Beast at the beginning of September and became students of Divine Beast Academy.

But now, his Divine Beast’s strength was already Top-Grade Black Iron?

Was this a joke?

Xu Dahai said, “What Lugh said is true. Moreover, he has already jumped to Grade 3 Class One. I am also a student of the Divine Beast Academy. I can testify!”

Meka also raised his hand and said, “I can also prove that everyone in our school knows about Lugh’s matter.”

Since there was someone who testified for Lugh, then it meant that Lugh was not lying.

Immediately, their expressions became even more shocked.

Jack was also stunned for a while, then, he came back to his senses and said, “Alright, Nice. Bring the other students aside from Lugh and form a reserve team. Gather the residents near town to maintain the security of the town and organize the residents to save themselves. Implement the wartime regulations. If anyone disobeys the arrangements, they can be killed on the spot!”

Nice was a member of the patrol team. He stood out and said, “Understood!”

Then, Jack turned to look at Lugh. “Lugh, our team is very lacking in flying-type divine pets. I want to add you to the combat team. Do you agree?”

Lugh asked back, “Is this an order?”

“Of course not. I just want to ask for your opinion. If you want to join the reserve team, I can understand!” Jack said, “After all, you are still a student and a genius!”

Hearing Lugh’s question, Jack subconsciously thought that Lugh was afraid of fighting with Fierce Beasts.

However, Lugh said loudly, “Captain, I understand what you mean, but I want to join the battle!”

“Okay!”

“Since you are willing to join the battle team, as an exchange of palms, I want you to give the first order!” Jack looked at the young Lugh and said, “That is, you must be able to wrap up your own life as the premise. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, I will allow you to leave the battle team and run for your life!”

None of the other old members of the Termite Town patrol team raised any objections.

Lugh was still young.

If it weren’t for this special situation, he wouldn’t even need to participate in the battle!

“Captain?!”

“This order, you’re still young. The living you is more valuable than the dead!” Jack said loudly, “Start to give your own orders. The reserve team will follow Nice, and the combat team will follow me!”

The combat team, including Lugh, had a total of nine people walking out of the town!

At this time, the residents near the town heard the sirens and had already begun to infiltrate the town!

Jack ordered, “First, I’ll assign the first mission!”

“We don’t need to care about the people near the town. They will get back themselves. We need to help those who are far away from the town and the village. Try to bring them to the town or the nearby villages to avoid danger before the Demonized Bats arrive!”

“We are only saving people, not risking ourselves. If you see the Demonized Bats, don’t tangle with them. Run away immediately. If you can’t make it, go into the dense forest and dig a hole in the ground to hide!”

“If you can come back, try to go back to the town. When you come back, all of you go back to the bomb shelter. I will deploy the defense and control system then!”

“Do you all understand?!”

“Yes!”

All the members of the patrol team responded loudly!
