Chapter 477: I Am Convinced
Zhou Xue'er experienced firsthand what "all-powerful" truly meant.
One man wiped out an entire squad!
Easily disarmed the explosive spirit array left by the enemy.
Effortlessly crushed the special ropes made of rare materials.
Now...
He constructed a long-distance teleportation array capable of sending 400 people at once in just an instant!
Can you believe all of this was done by one person!?
At this moment.
Zhou Xue'er and her two deputies finally realized why the higher-ups were so determined to have a freshman lead the ninth squad!
This kind of powerful and versatile person was indeed worthy of being the captain of the ninth squad!
They just wondered how he would compare to the extremely elite fourth-year prodigies.
Thinking of this…
Zhou Xue'er was startled.
The fact that she was even comparing this freshman to those top fourth-year prodigies...
Already showed her recognition of Ling Zhan.
Zhou Xue'er pressed her lips together.
"It's time to go."
At that moment.
Ling Zhan's calm voice broke the silence.
"Oh, right."
Zhou Xue'er quickly nodded and stepped onto the teleportation array.
......
......
Stormwind City.
On the towering walls.
A group of soldiers in Dragon Kingdom battle attire were waiting.
"It's been so long, why hasn't the deputy returned?"
"Damn it!"
"It's all because of that reckless non-specialist! Acting without any intelligence!"
"If the deputy dies because of him, I won't forgive him!"
"Calm down, Deputy Zhou won't be in any danger..."
At that moment.
The soldiers were murmuring amongst themselves.
The fact that a freshman had been parachuted in to lead their squad was already hard for these fourth-years to swallow.
And then, that captain had recklessly entered the Storm Strait on his own.
Forcing the deputy to follow after him.
The higher-ups must have lost their minds.
No matter how impressive a freshman might be, he was still just a freshman.
In terms of seniority, age, mindset, battlefield experience, and even strength, this freshman surely couldn't earn their respect.
The third-year students didn't dare speak.
They had immense respect for Ling Zhan.
After all, when Ling Zhan led the Dragon Kingdom team to victory in the Global Monster Battle Championship, it was truly a thrilling moment.
But now, on the frontlines, the third-years knew they had to stay quiet.
The fourth-years held most of the authority in the squad.
Just as everyone was chatting.
Suddenly...
Buzz!!
A familiar spatial fluctuation spread from the gates of Stormwind City!
"Hmm!?"
"Alert!!"
"This is a spatial teleportation array! Notify the general at once, and have the guards ready for anything!"
Elite soldiers are elite for a reason.
Even in such an unexpected situation, they remained calm and took immediate, appropriate action.
At the same time, their eyes were locked on the scene at the city gates.
The next second.
Whoosh!!
Hundreds of people suddenly appeared out of thin air!
"Enemy attack!!"
A guard, startled by the sudden crowd, instinctively shouted.
"Wait! Don't attack!"
"We're allies! We're allies!"
As soon as those who had just been teleported heard the high-tech particle beam cannons powering up, they quickly raised their hands and shouted.
"Hold fire!"
At that moment.
The members of the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad finally recognized the newcomers and quickly ordered the guards to stand down.
They were genuinely worried that the trigger-happy, lower-level guards might accidentally fire on these weakened allies.
Some might wonder, aren't these people over level 70, and third-tier powerhouses? Why are they so fragile?
Well, they are fragile.
First of all.
They had no defenses.
Secondly, they had no weapons.
This was an important point.
Not everyone can cast spells without a staff!
And not every class can use skills without a weapon!
Classes like mages, priests, shadow priests, druids, archers, etc.
Without special talents like "staffless casting," if they have no weapon.
They're like a tiger without its sharp teeth and claws.
All that's left is a scary physique, but their combat power is greatly reduced.
You could say...
These seemingly fragile powerhouses are only slightly tougher, thanks to their third-tier bodies.
"Hmm? Aren't these the squads from the Rhine Duchy, Holy Light Empire, and Dark Night Empire?"
"They're back!?"
The members of the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad rushed to the gates.
And in the next second.
Buzz!!
Another teleportation array lit up!
Huh?
Another one!
Whoosh!!
Another 400 people were teleported in!
"What's going on?"
The ninth squad members were completely dumbfounded!
Who set up these teleportation array coordinates without them noticing?
Just as they were wondering…
Buzz!!
The array lit up a third time!
But this time, when the light faded, it made the ninth squad members cheer in relief!
"Deputy Zhou!"
"You're back!"
"Are you alright?"
The fourth-year members immediately rushed forward to check on her.
Meanwhile, the third-year students quickly gathered around Ling Zhan, their faces full of admiration and respect!
"God Ling… no, Captain Ling!"
"I knew you'd be fine!"
Ling Zhan simply nodded calmly.
At this moment.
The fourth-year members of the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad suddenly turned their attention to Ling Zhan, examining him with interest.
Hmm...
No denying it.
This man had an exceptional appearance and aura.
Zhou Xue'er noticed her teammates' reactions, thought for a moment, and stepped forward to stand beside Ling Zhan.
At the same time.
She spoke to everyone seriously:
"Since we're all here, there's something I need to make clear."
"I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about—it's about our new non-specialist captain."
As soon as Zhou Xue'er finished speaking.
The members of the three squads watching from the side widened their eyes!
What?
This freshman non-specialist is the new captain of the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad!?
This...
Is this a joke?
The fourth-year members of the ninth squad looked at Zhou Xue'er in silence.
They knew she had more to say.
Sure enough…
Under everyone's gaze.
Zhou Xue'er slowly said:
"I'll speak honestly here."
"I fully support Ling Zhan as our new captain."
"Whether in terms of strength or handling matters, I am convinced!"
Whoosh!!
As soon as Zhou Xue'er finished speaking.
Everyone present was utterly shocked!
