Chapter 96: Deep into the Deserted City
"Jinlin City encountered a bloody alert at the beginning. It is said that three commander-level demons broke into the city at that time. If it weren't for the concerted efforts of many mages to fight against the demons, I'm afraid Jinlin City would have suffered heavy losses!"

Qingqing, a student at the Imperial Capital Academy, explained to everyone that when she knew the destination was Jinlin City, she quickly looked up a lot of information.

"Oh my god, three commander-level demons!"

Bai Tingting said in shock, she couldn't imagine such a tragic scene.

"Haha, I heard that at least a dozen commander-level demons appeared in the Bo City incident, and there was even a giant beast that destroyed half of Bo City with a single slap!"

Luo Song's family still had some stuff, and he had some exposure to this top-secret matter.

"Xu Fan and Mo Fan are both survivors of the Bo City incident. If we ask them, we will know what happened at that time!"

Luo Song's words made the Bocheng trio look unhappy, and the others subconsciously moved a little further away from Luo Song. This idiot, knowing that there were two high-level mages on the opposite side, still jumped in. Was he confident that the other side would not dare to attack him?

"Humph! Since Luo Song is so curious, when we enter the deserted city and encounter monsters, I will let you feel the despair of the people of Bo City!"

Xu Fan said indifferently that Luo Song's family had some things but not much, and they didn't know the contribution Xu Fan had made in the past, otherwise even if Luo Song had a dozen courages, he would not dare to be so presumptuous.

"That's not right. Three commander-level demons destroyed the big city of Jinlin. If there were more than a dozen commander-level demons attacking the city, wouldn't Bo City be completely destroyed? But I heard that Bo City only lost 30% of its population!"

Lu Zhenghe said in great confusion. This time everyone, including Luo Song, quietly moved a little further away from him.

"Humph! That's all? It seems that you are disappointed that not all the people in Bo City died!"

Mo Fan rushed directly in front of Lu Zhenghe, grabbed Lu Zhenghe's collar, and raised his fist to hit him.

Lu Zhenghe immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly smiled.

Finally, Mo Fan threw him aside with a sullen face. If he was not still in training, he would have taught him a lesson.

"Okay, let's keep going. There are no military mages patrolling ahead. We are truly outside the security realm. We may encounter monsters at any time. It's better not to start an internal conflict next time!"

Mu Nujiao showed up to smooth things over, and then she looked at Xu Fan and Mu Ningxue. They were the strongest students on both sides, and as team leaders, they would surely be able to convince the crowd.

"It's agreed in advance that I've always been the commander of the team. Since the school requires us to work together to complete this training mission, there can't be no rules for the dozen of us. I'll be the commander. You can give me your opinions, but I'll decide the general direction. How to move forward, how to deal with monsters, when to rest... I'll decide all these."

Lu Zhenghe was not polite at all and directly stated his identity as the leader.

However, Xu Dalong, Zhao Mingyue, Liao Zhengxuan and other students from the Imperial Capital did not immediately express their opinions but turned to look at Mu Ningxue. In the presence of a high-level mage, they still listened to Lu Zhenghe's opinion? They were simply crazy.

The students of Mingzhu Academy did not have a chance to look at Lu Zhenghe, but instead looked at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan didn't want to lead this team, but he also couldn't hand the team over to someone he didn't trust.

"Since we have formed a team, we must elect a leader. However, considering that we are students from two different schools, I suggest that we each send one person to discuss the plan of progress together!"

Xu Fan said after thinking for a moment, then looked at Mu Nujiao and Song Xia.

"For Mingzhu Academy, I recommend Mu Nujiao as the team leader. Song Xia can also help Mu Nujiao with some ideas!"

"I agree!" Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan and Bai Tingting immediately spoke up to support Xu Fan's idea, while Luo Song, Bai Cangfeng and Shen Mingxiao knew that they were not qualified to compete, so they nodded in agreement.

"Leave the Imperial Capital Academy to me!"

Lu Zhenghe once again recommended himself, but as soon as he finished speaking, the people around him fell silent and everyone looked at Mu Ningxue.

"I choose Mu Ningxue. She is the one that everyone wants!"

Jiang Yu, who had sneaked into the Imperial Capital Academy, stepped forward. This was a chance to get closer to the students, so how could Jiang Yu let it go?

With Jiang Yu taking the lead, others also expressed their opinions. In the end, except for Lu Zhenghe, Mu Ningxue was unanimously approved as the team leader.

Lu Zhenghe's eyes flickered a few times, and he had no choice but to nod and give up the competition with Mu Ningxue.

"In that case, the specific matters will be implemented after Mu Ningxue and I discuss it!"

Mu Nujiao was not polite either. Since Xu Fan had fought for this opportunity for her, she must seize it!

Mu Ningxue nodded, and then stood together with Mu Nujiao.

"This railway track leads to Jinlin South Station. We can reach Jinlin City by following this track!"

Song Xia put down the map and said that the city of Jinlin could no longer be found on the mobile phone, so they had to use the most original map.

"Okay, then everyone get ready. The summoned beasts are in the front, the battle mages are outside, the healing and summoning mages are in the middle, and Xu Fan is at the end. Everyone keep the formation and move forward along the railroad tracks!"

Mu Nujiao then spoke to everyone, and naturally no one had any objection.

Zheng Bingxiao summoned his own rock demon and let it walk in the front. Among the many summoning magicians, his summoned creatures were the most suitable to take the lead. The summoned beasts of others had already broken through the general level and could easily cause unnecessary battles.

Behind the Rock Demon were Mo Fan, Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, Xu Dalong and others.

Mu Ningxue and Song Xia, one ice and one fire, were on the left and right, guarding the two wings of the team, while Xu Fan and Mu Nujiao were guarding the rear of the team to prevent sneak attacks from demons.

Zhao Manyan and Bai Tingting, two defensive healing mages with almost no combat ability, were protected in the middle.

The crowd walked along the railway track towards Jinlin City step by step, but Zhao Manyan quietly slowed down his pace and moved closer to Xu Fan and his group at the back.

"I've also heard that Bo City was attacked by more than a dozen commander-level demons, and even a monarch-level demon appeared. It's said that the Black Church was behind this!"

Zhao Manyan said mysteriously, and Jiang Yu, who came quietly to the side, nodded repeatedly. Pang Lai had told him about this several times, and each time he called it a miracle, but he didn't know what exactly happened.

"How did Bo City get through the crisis? I heard that a sword god appeared and chopped off the head of the demon leader with a wave of his lightsaber!"

Zhao Manyan looked at Xu Fan. Xu Fan had the honor of being the hero of Bo City. He must have participated in the fight against the demons and might have seen the Sword God!
