Chapter 26 Battlefield
While the two were chatting, Tang Yue's cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the incoming call notification, Tang Yue's face became serious.

"Hey, uncle, is there something wrong?"

"Yes." Tang Zhong's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little tired, "Xiaohui is next to you, right?"

"right"

"Well, then you can help convey my order. A monarch who controls the weather has appeared in Jinling, using the power of the Siren Empire to stir up trouble there.

The abnormal weather in the Magic City this time was caused by it. Stimulated by the rising river water, many Yangtze River monsters are ready to move.

The military mages of the sea monsters will take action, and our Inquisition and the Magicians Association need to lead the civilian mage force to eliminate the threat from the monsters in the rivers within the city.

You happen to be at a high level now, so this time you will lead a team to guard Songjiang.

The goal is to not let any monster get through your defense within one week. Someone will take over your place after one week.

Commander-level monsters will not appear on your side. If there really is one, you can choose to retreat, but you must report it and delay the time as much as possible.

Is the mission clear?"

"I understand. Don't worry, uncle." Tang Yue nodded seriously.

"That's good. Let me be honest, when things really get hopeless, take Xiaohui with you and retreat together." Tang Zhong added.

"I understand, uncle."

Although this sounds like treating other mages as cannon fodder, when the situation really becomes untenable, everyone will just flee when disaster strikes.

However, as a branch of the Huangpu River, Songjiang River theoretically will not have a commanding level.

Because there are a small number of high-level and super-level mages stationed in the Huangpu River, if it were not for the sake of safety, or if it was not for Tang Zhong's selfishness, Tang Yue, a high-level mage, would also have to go to the Huangpu River to fight.

However, Tang Yue had only entered the high-level realm less than two months ago, and her strength was not comparable to those of the veteran high-level mages. In such a dangerous place like the Huangpu River, something might really happen.

Of course, this kind of care is limited, and those who should go have to go. Even Tang Longhui, who was previously exempted from mandatory tasks, has to go.

Tang Zhong is well aware of Tang Longhui's strength. The more monsters come, the stronger Tang Longhui's fighting power will be. This Songjiang defense battle has attracted more attention than the beast fighting competition.

If the beast fighting competition made the team famous in Mingzhu Academy, then the Battle of Songjiang River Defense was truly a national success.

By then, with this reputation, even without the strong support of the Tribunal, Tang Longhui will at least be a substitute player.

It can be said that Tang Zhong is a shrewd man who has done his best to benefit Tang Yue and the others within the rules.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Longhui also put away his playful smile and became serious. He heard everything that happened on the phone clearly.

Other mages might feel worried when faced with this kind of defensive battle, but Tang Longhui felt excited.

His strength is naturally not weak when fighting alone, but fighting in a group will stimulate his strength to the maximum extent.

His summoned undead creatures can transform the killed monsters into undead to continue fighting. Just based on this point, the more monsters that come, the stronger he will be.

"Are you sure, Xiaohui?"

Compared to Tang Longhui's optimism, Tang Yue was a little worried.

She was the only high-level mage on this defense mission, and she was a novice high-level mage at that.

If she really encounters a commander-level monster, it would be good if she could delay it for a while.

In a week, who knows if a commander-level monster will break in. "Don't worry, Sister Yue, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, even if a commander-level monster breaks in, I have a trump card to deal with it.

Have you forgotten the bone dragon I showed you before?"

Tang Longhui smiled confidently.

His bone dragon possesses the skill of dragon breath, which is to spit out blue fire, but it is specifically used to restrain those creatures on land. The reason they can be bullied is that they cannot fly.

It can't fly, so unless it hides in the water or underground and never comes out, it can only passively take the beating.

This blue fire sticks, and water can't put it out, you have to cut the flesh. After a lot of trouble, even if you can't kill the commander-level monster, you can force it back.

Hearing Tang Longhui say this, Tang Yue also remembered the abnormally powerful bone dragon. With such a summoned creature in hand, she can indeed fight against the commander-level monsters, at least until support arrives.

Since they had a trump card to deal with the biggest threat, Tang Yue didn't waste any time. After simply packing up their things with Tang Longhui, they immediately headed for the Pearl Mage Tower.

They will wait here for the folk magicians to gather.
-
"You are the Tang Yue Mage sent by the Inquisition, right?"

Inside the Mingzhu Mage Tower, a staff member was confirming Tang Yue's identity.

"Yes"

"Hello, Master Tang Yue, the order to assemble has been issued. The team will be assembled in half an hour at most."

"How many mages are there in this gathering?"

"At least 40 mages can be assigned to you. But don't worry, the first batch of mages recruited are all veteran mid-level mages, and they can all use mid-level magic proficiently."

"That's good, let's do this." Tang Yue nodded with satisfaction.

The defense mission this time is very heavy, facing the attack of countless monsters, but it is not easy at all and is extremely dangerous.

This is not a place for beginner mages and novice mid-level mages to practice. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

To put it cruelly, losing lives is a small matter. It would be a big deal if the defensive mission failed due to their lack of strength.

Fortunately, the higher-ups knew what the loss of Songjiang meant, and did not send these people to join in the fun. In such a cruel place, strength does not come from numbers alone.

"Xiaohui, you will be the deputy captain for this defensive mission. If I am delayed and unable to command, you will take charge temporarily. Can you do it?"

"No problem, Yuejie."

In less than half an hour, more than forty mid-level mages who were recruited gathered at the entrance of the Pearl Mage Tower.

Although it was still raining, it was a small matter for a mid-level mage.

Looking at the more than 40 mid-level mages in the audience, Tang Yue didn't say much nonsense.

"My name is Tang Yue, I'm a high-level fire mage, and I'm the commander-in-chief of this mission. The one next to me is Tang Longhui, a mid-level shadow and undead mage. During the mission, if I'm delayed and unable to give orders, he will take over as the temporary commander."

Originally, everyone was excited to hear that a high-level wizard was coming to lead the team, but when they heard that they had to temporarily obey the command of a little kid, many people became unhappy.

Although they are folk magicians, it does not mean that they have to obey a young man sent by the government.

Faced with the discussions of the audience, Tang Longhui did not say too much.

A scarlet magic circle lit up in the sky, and a soul-shaking dragon roar exploded in everyone's ears!
