Chapter 518: Chapter 258: Moving In_2

"General Class demon hunting team mission two, assassinate the sorcery demon. Note: At least a 6th Rank sorcery demon. Mission requirements: kill at least three to complete the mission. Merits will be calculated based on the number and power of the kills. Basic reward: three thousand merits."

...

Long Dangdang quickly skimmed through, noticing that the missions for a General Class demon hunting team were mainly centered around assassination, while those of a Commander Class team were more focused on exploration and reconnaissance, which were evidently more challenging.

He learned that these were assassination missions, instead of direct battlefield massacres, because demon hunting teams operate as independent units and are not suitable for direct battlefield engagements. Otherwise, they could disrupt military deployments and cause counterproductive outcomes.

From the mission board, Long Dangdang also learned about the different types of wraith entities that were worthy of engagement by the demon hunting teams. They were all at least 6th Rank wraith entities, with differences among them based on their relative power levels.

After a quick scan, he immediately accepted five assassination missions, all targeting 6th and 7th Rank wraith entities.

The staff didn’t find this unusual, as many demon hunting teams operated this way. When infiltrating the wraith legion, no one knew what type of wraith entities they would encounter, so naturally, it was about killing whatever they came across.

Once they had received their missions, their accommodations had also been arranged.

The demon hunters had a designated area within the camp, which consisted of the large tents they had seen earlier. At the same time, there was a special exit from the demon hunting team’s area leading to the front lines. Of course, the Forbidden Sky law still applied. But this was a dedicated area for the demon hunting teams and was not subject to unified military command. The military would assign some tasks to the demon hunting team through contact with the Demon Hunters Headquarters.

Long Dangdang led his team to the tent assigned to them by its number. Tent Number Zero Three Three.

Lifting the somewhat heavy cowhide door curtain, Long Dangdang led his teammates into the tent. Due to the similarly cowhide-made curtains being drawn shut, the air inside was slightly stuffy. They all pulled up the curtains, fully revealing the entirety of the tent.

The tent was large and divided into several areas. The central area was communal, with a round table and six chairs, occupying roughly forty square meters. At the top of the tent was a circular metal ring. The ring extended outwards, pulling several metal sides to divide the public space into seven areas, each separated by cured cowhide, resulting in six separate rooms. Each room was like an individual compartment, with one marked as a shared space for hygiene needs. It was equipped with a magic toilet, which allowed hygiene activities to be conveniently managed as long as there was a mage present.

In the military, the most popular mages were those specialized in water and fire magic. Water specialty mages could meet all the comrades’ hydration needs, while fire specialty mages were convenient for cooking and disposing of biodegradable waste. The combination of these two was the perfect complement to each other.

In this respect, Demon Hunter Team 19115897 was definitely well equipped, as both Long Dangdang and Yue Li had the ability to control both water and fire magic.

However, an issue arose - there were only six rooms available for inhabitants. In terms of actual accommodations, the set-up was basic, as expected in a military camp. Each room had a single simple bed with no available bedding. Demon hunting teams were expected to have their own, but they could also pick some up if they had not brought any.

But there was one less room! The Demon Hunter Team 19115897 consisted of seven individuals, not the usual six people in a demon hunting team. They had one too many by including Long Kongkong.

Under the bright moon, Long Dangdang privately chatted with Ling Menglu, "Cousin, as we only have six rooms, what’s to be done? Kongkong has no place to stay."

Under the bright moon, Ling Menglu replied privately to Long Dangdang, "You’re the team leader, so why are you asking me?"

Under the bright moon, Long Dangdang privately suggested to Ling Menglu, "What about I share a room with you? Which in return will free up a room?"

Ling Menglu gave Long Dangdang a dismissive eye-roll, turned around, swayed her slender waist, and went straight into a room of her own choosing.

The others each went into a separate room as well, leaving only the brothers, Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, in the living room.

Long Kongkong looked pitifully at Long Dangdang, saying, "Big brother, you’re not going to leave your poor younger brother outside, are you? After all, I am useful, aren’t I?"

The corner of Long Dangdang’s mouth twitched up into a smile, revealing a set of perfect teeth. He pointed at a chair next to the table, "Six chairs, enough to make a bed when put together, right?"

"You’re this heartless?" Long Kongkong became stiff.

Long Dangdang ignored him and headed towards the last available room. Just then, like a gust of wind, a figure slid by his side and rushed into the room. He quickly pulled down the cowhide curtain, blocking Long Dangdang from entering the room.

"Long Kongkong—"

minutes later...

The final decision was that the brothers Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong would take turns sleeping in the room and on the chairs. This was decreed by their cousin, Divine Maiden Menglu - it was fair and square.

Just then, a "ding-ding" sound came from the magic bell hung outside their tent acting as a doorbell.

Long Dangdang walked over and opened the tent’s curtain. A middle-aged man dressed in a demon hunting team uniform stood outside and asked, "Is this Demon Hunter Team 19115897?"

"Yes, hello. I am the team leader, Long Dangdang," Long Dangdang replied.

"We will be launching an attack on the wraith legion tomorrow. As you are newcomers, the headquarters wants you to observe the battle to get a better understanding of the wraith entities. You will march out with the army tomorrow at the sounding of the bugle."

"Understood," Long Dangdang replied, feeling a slight tightening in his chest. A battle on the front line, he wondered what that would be like.

After drawing the door curtain, Long Dangdang gathered everyone in the living room.

"We have accepted our missions. The headquarters has asked us to observe the battle tomorrow. After that, we should be starting with our missions. Remember, this is not a drill, and there won’t be any second chances. Everyone’s life is precious. We came together as a group of seven, and I hope we can all return together once the mission is completed. So, I would like to stress a couple of things. During the mission, I hope everyone can listen to my commands fully. Especially during battles - impulsivity needs to be avoided, and safety should take precedence over completing the mission."

While speaking, his gaze rested on Ming Xi. Concerning safety, he didn’t need to worry about Long Kongkong, but Ming Xi’s sense of justice was too strong. Long Dangdang was afraid that if they were battling on the front lines, Ming Xi might lose his cool.

"Got it! We’ll listen to you." Being aware of his issue, Ming Xi instantly agreed.

Ling Menglu said, "Dangdang is right. This is a battlefield. Though it’s the first time we’re stepping onto one, we’ve faced these situations in the academy and the Temple’s simulated battlegrounds already. The battlefield is a place of constant change. We’re a team and can only have one voice. In the past, Dangdang has fully demonstrated his commanding abilities, so this time we will fully follow his lead."

Everyone nodded in agreement. This was a battlefield, not a playground. Though no one said it outright, from the moment they entered the military camp, they all felt a slight unease. This was a normal reaction; after all, it was their first time stepping onto a battlefield and dealing with this type of situation.

Long Dangdang continued, "Additionally, on the battlefield, we should try as much as possible to conceal our true strength. We all have to hold back, especially Kongkong. We must hide his abilities. At the same time, this battle offers us a significant opportunity."
