Chapter 843 - Black Boulder Energy Cave

Meanwhile, at command headquarters in the northern battlefield.

The crossfire during the landing battle was not a big deal to Sacred Teacher Leyson. However, to tear apart a level three civilization’s Will and let an entire army enter, the amount of power it took was colossal. This was why, after the landing battle ended, Sacred Teacher Leyson had entered a meditative state and wasn’t to be disturbed over trivial matters.

In the past half a month or so, the 16 Great Teachers under Leyson divided the task of coming up with various contingency battle strategies amongst themselves, becoming the busiest people during this period of time.

She developed a completely different way of thinking and perception of things once she came into contact with people of a higher caliber. The efforts that her teacher spent on grooming her were not only to help her improve her individual strength.

She had seen her teacher publish the Black Boulder Energy Cave mission personally. The rewards for that mission were considered to be one of the best among many missions. Previously, Scarlet thought that this mission would be taken by one of the top 10 exploration teams. She didn’t expect it to be delegated to a level four exploration team or that the Wanderlust Team would have a part in it.

Sophia was thinking of what to do with a mission document when her train of thought was interrupted by Scarlet’s words. However, she didn’t seem to mind.

“Look at you.” Sophia smiled and put down her pen. “You don’t need to thank me for such a small matter. When can you start to perceive things from a higher perspective?”

“There have been many mistakes in Zone Five’s accounts recently, so I’ll have you go and supervise the distribution of supplies there for the next few days.” Sophia didn’t continue the topic and waved Scarlet away. “Put more effort into this. No matter how perfect a system is, there will be a loophole. Find the loopholes and ensure that no one exploits them.”

“Yes, Teacher.” Scarlet nodded obediently. Frankly speaking, this Holy Battle had completely changed her impression of her teacher that she had for just six months. She even felt ashamed of her previous pettiness. She would definitely complete the tasks that Sophia assigned her to the best of her ability. It was just a pity that she probably couldn’t go on the mission with Wang Zhong and the others.

Had God finally heard their prayers?

“This is Captain Kevin Dalton, and this is Vice-captain Osha.” Oscar enthusiastically introduced them to the Wanderlust Team. When two exploration teams worked together, the team members had to be acquainted first. However, he hadn’t expected both the captain and the vice-captain of the other team to come to them first.

However, they didn’t expect that aside from not seeing her, Scarlet also wasn’t going to be participating in this mission.

He had originally looked down on the Wanderlust Team, but his impression of them turned worse now. Regardless of that, he was the team captain of a large-scale exploration team after all, so he was able to keep up a front at least. He waited patiently for Oscar to finish introducing the other nine Wanderlust Team members before speaking up about the other reason behind his trip here. “I’m sure you guys know the objective of this mission already, so I won’t say much. I don’t expect you guys to take the lead. I only have one request, which is that you guys don’t fall behind.”

Wang Zhong smiled and flipped open a map he had prepared beforehand. When Oscar notified everyone of the mission previously, Wang Zhong had already downloaded the Black Boulder Energy Cave map, which was released by headquarters, into his Skylink. He had already discussed the mission with Feng before Oscar and the other two arrived. Undoubtedly, both Wang Zhong and Feng were smart, and they had already come up with the initial framework of the plan.

Vice-captain Osha seemed to want to say something, but beside him, Kevin Dalton interrupted.

It was the first time that the Wanderlust Team had come into contact with such high-end beasts of the Holy City Army. Sharmie, Small Eyes, and the others were super excited, while the KD Squadron didn’t show much reaction. Frankly speaking, this was also their first time coming into contact with a real Torreya battle steed. However, they kept calm and looked fairly natural while getting on the horses. It was as if all of them rode Torreya battle steeds out for a walk every day and were already used to it long ago. As a 4th rank exploration team, they valued their reputation. If they marveled at everything they saw, they would be seen as country bumpkins. This was the difference between them and low-tier exploration teams.
