On the surface, he was asking Mo Fan to kill the Sea Emperor Skeleton to redeem some dignity for the Magic City that had suffered a crushing defeat.
However, it was actually a battle of wits against the Emperor behind the scenes!
If the Emperor behind the scenes had shown up to kill the Sea Emperor Skeleton, it meant there would be someone with a Forbidden Mage keeping an eye on it.
If the Emperor behind the scenes dared to show up again, it would surely make the Sea Emperor pay the price.
Shao Zheng had chosen Mo Fan because Mo Fan was a unique existence.
If he could kill the Sea Emperor Skeleton without using the power of the Demon Element, it would be an acceptable outcome for the Demonic Capital.
However, if the Emperor behind the scenes decided to save the Sea Emperor Skeleton, Mo Fan would turn into the Demon Element and fight against it. The Emperor behind the scenes would expose itself. If it was too reckless, the Forbidden Mages would have a chance to trap it or even kill it!
Now, everyone knew that there was an emperor hiding behind the Sea King Skeleton.
In order to win the battle, they had to find someone who could take on the Sea Emperor Skeleton and the Emperor.
The only person Shao Zheng could think of was Mo Fan.
Mo Fan now had four Elements at the Super Level. The power of his Demon Element would improve significantly according to the number and level of his Elements. If Mo Fan was strong enough to take on an Emperor-level creature when he was at the Ancient Capital and the Beijiang Kingdom, even if he could not defeat an Emperor-level creature in his Demon form, he would not be killed instantly by an Emperor-level creature.
"Mo Fan, I'm counting on you," Shao Zheng said sincerely.
"You're being too serious, it's my duty," Mo Fan said.
"Just tell me what you need to kill the Sea Emperor Skeleton," Shao Zheng said.
"I'll just need a few men."
"Got it!"
…
The Wasteland Battlefield …
Countless Magic Craftsmen were rebuilding the footholds. The Wasteland Battlefield was a lot smaller than before. The people were repairing the place numbly, yet they had no idea when the place would crumble into pieces again.
"Zhang Xiaohou."
"I'm here!"
The General Strategist with a pale face showed up with a transfer order in his hand.
"It's an order from the Chairman. You are to go to Chongming Island to take part in a secret mission."
Zhang Xiaohou's face was filled with confusion.
Wasn't he supposed to be guarding this place? One had to know that other than the Sea King Skeleton, there were other powerful Sea Demon Monarchs in this region of the sea that were ready to make a move.
Now that he had been transferred away, could it be that General Hua intended to protect him?
This was not what Zhang Xiaohou wanted. The other soldiers were defending Shanghai with their own bodies. As a member of the Violet Imperial Army, he should have stepped forward when everyone was depressed.
"General Military Strategy …"
"You talk too much. Go immediately. If you delay the mission, you will be punished according to military law!" The Chief Military Strategist was too lazy to argue with Zhang Xiaohou.
Zhang Xiaohou took the transfer order and couldn't help but sigh.
…
Yangtze River Valley
Covered in dirt, Mubai, who had always been spotless in the past, now looked like a vagrant. He leaned against the trunk of a large tree, but his eyes were still shining.
The river water was tumbling. The river that was easily more than a thousand meters wide had become the perfect hiding place for the sea monsters.
The Huangpu River was nothing compared to the Yangtze River. Some of the bays and lakes were not as wide as the Yangtze River.
As a member of the South Wing Platoon, Mubai had to travel all the way from Dianshan Lake to the Yangtze River.
"General, there's a transfer order from the highest Magic Association!"
Mubai opened the transfer order and frowned.
The description was very simple, but the seal on it was quite high-level. It must be some kind of secret mission.
However, the most troublesome thing about participating in a mission like this was the lack of manpower.
"What about here?" Mubai asked.
"Priority is obviously the transfer order," the South Wing Platoon Mage said.
"Mm."
Mu Bai was well aware of the importance of the situation.
…
Chongming Island.
Due to the rising tide, the land here had shrunk significantly.
Chongming Island was located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Mubai was not too far away from it.
To prevent the River Crossing Sea Monsters from entering the Yangtze River and destroying the cities on both sides of the river, a higher dam had been built. An entire army was stationed here.
"Mubai?" Zhang Xiaohou blurted out in surprise when he saw Mubai covered in dust.
"Why are you here?" Mubai looked at Zhang Xiaohou in astonishment.
Wasn't it supposed to be a secret mission?
Mubai thought he was going to be assigned to some random team.
"I didn't expect to be assigned to the same team," Zhang Xiaohou saw the transfer order in Mubai's hand, which was made of the same material as his.
Mubai forced a smile on his face. It seemed like the secret mission was not too bad after all. At least he had a reliable teammate …
"That guy, don't you think he looks familiar?" Mubai suddenly pointed at a golden-haired man who was chatting with a nurse under a tent not far away.
"Brother Zhao!" Zhang Xiaohou blurted out in surprise.
The two were about to head toward Zhao Manyan when they suddenly saw a woman with long hair and an elegant figure walking toward them. Her silver hair was unique and elegant. She was absolutely stunning as she walked toward them in the wind!
"Mu Ningxue?" Mubai and Zhang Xiaohou blurted out simultaneously.
Why was Mu Ningxue here, too?
She seemed to be holding a transfer order in her hand, too!
Mu Ningxue glanced at the two, and glanced at the transfer order in their hands.
"There's only one person who would gather us here," Mu Ningxue said.
"Mo Fan!"
…
The four waited at the designated spot. Mo Fan finally showed up half an hour later.
There were two other people beside him. One of them was a Magician in a golden robe, and the other was a General-level Magician.
"Is everyone here?" the Magician in a golden robe asked.
"Mm, everyone's here," Mo Fan said.
"I thought it would be a strong team? It's just a bunch of youngsters! "the General-level Magician blurted out.
"Explain the situation to them, Old Dong and I will organize the people from the association and the military," the Magician in a golden robe said.
It was obvious that the Magician in a golden robe was quite disappointed.
He had thought that Chairman Shao Zheng would organize a special team to complete this arduous mission, but in the end, it was just a few young people … Those who didn't know better would think that they were on an excursion. None of them looked like they had been through a lot!
After the two left, only five people were left.
"Mo Fan, what are you up to this time? Are we going to have a team of five?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"You guys are the strongest team I can think of. It's a national mission to eliminate the Sea Emperor Skeleton!" Mo Fan replied.
"HAHAHA, I thought you were talking about the unbeatable Sea Emperor Skeleton in the Magic City!" Zhao Manyan burst out laughing all of a sudden.
While laughing, Zhao Manyan noticed that the others were wearing different expressions.
Zhao Manyan soon realized that Mo Fan was referring to the unbeatable Sea Emperor Skeleton in the Magic City. He exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
